This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”) is dated as of March 28, 2011, among Coleman Cable, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Clearwater Acquisition I, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Technology Research Corporation, a Florida corporation (the “Company”).

A. It is proposed that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub make a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.51 per share, and the associated Rights (as defined in Section 5.27) (collectively with the shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the “Company Common Stock”) for the Per Share Amount (as defined in Section 1.1(a)).

B. It is proposed that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), pursuant to which each share of the Company Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.2) and option to purchase shares of the Company Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 3.1(b)), all as more fully provided below.

C. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has determined that the Offer (as defined in Section 1.1(a)) and the Merger are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (the “Company Shareholders”) and the Company desires to combine its businesses with the businesses operated by Parent.

D. The respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have determined the Offer and the Merger to be desirable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders and, by resolutions duly adopted, have approved and adopted this Agreement.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have terminated in accordance with its terms and provided that none of the events set forth in clauses (a)-(c) of Annex A shall have occurred and be continuing, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) a cash tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock for $7.20 U.S. Dollars per share of Company Common Stock (such amount, or any greater amount per share of Company Common Stock paid pursuant to the offer, the “Per Share Amount” and such offer, as it may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Offer”) no earlier than fourteen (14) days and no later than twenty (20) days after the date hereof (unless such date is not a business day, in which case the first business day after the date that is fourteen (14) days or twenty (20) days, as applicable, after the date hereof). Parent shall cause Merger Sub to accept for payment, and Merger Sub shall accept for payment, all shares of the Company Common Stock that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable (and in any event not more than the fourth business day) following the Expiration Date (as defined below).

(b) The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment, purchase and pay for any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) shall only be subject to the satisfaction or waiver pursuant to the terms hereof of (i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that at least that number of shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, when added to any shares of Company Common Stock already owned by Parent or any of its subsidiaries, if any, shall be equal to or greater than fifty and one tenth percent (50.1%) of the sum of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (including as outstanding only options that are vested as of that date or may vest prior to the Merger Outside Date) and (ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex A hereto (the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to as the “Tender Offer Conditions”). Merger Sub expressly reserves the right (but shall not be obligated) at any time or from time to time, in its sole discretion, to amend or waive any such condition (other than the Minimum Condition, which may not be amended or waived), to increase the Per Share Amount payable in the Offer, and to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided that without the prior written consent of the Company no change may be made that decreases the Per Share Amount (except as provided in Section 1.1(h)), changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer, imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to the Tender Offer Conditions, decreases the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, reduces the time period during which the Offer shall remain open, or modifies or amends the Offer in any manner adverse to the Company Shareholders.

(c) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Offer shall remain open until at least midnight, New York City time, at the end of the later of (i) the twentieth (20th) business day beginning with (and including) the date that the Offer is commenced (determined in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) or (ii) May 13, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”), unless the period of time for which the Offer is open shall have been extended pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 1.1(d) or as required by Applicable Laws (defined in Section 9.3) or the interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date as the Offer, as so extended, may expire).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, without the consent of the Company (i) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) that is applicable to the Offer, and (ii) if, on the initial Expiration Date or any subsequent date as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire, any Tender Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, then Merger Sub (A) shall extend (and re-extend) the Offer and its Expiration Date beyond the initial Expiration Date for up to two (2) successive extension periods of up to ten (10) business days each and (B) in its sole discretion, may extend (and re-extend) the Offer and its Expiration Date for one or more successive extension periods of up to ten (10) business days each. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall Merger Sub extend the Offer beyond the Offer Outside Date (as defined below) without the consent of the Company.

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly (and in any event within one business day of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer.

(f) The Per Share Amount shall, subject to applicable withholding of taxes, be net to the applicable seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf) shall accept for payment and pay for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn promptly following the Expiration Date (the time and date of the acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Date”). If the Per Share Amount (or any portion) is to be delivered to a person other than the person in whose name the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock not represented by certificates (“Book Entry Shares”) and the certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) so surrendered are registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of the Per Share Amount that the certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers and otherwise be in proper form for transfer, that such transfer otherwise be proper and that the person requesting such transfer shall have paid any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the satisfaction of the Merger Sub that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid. If any Certificate has 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, the Surviving Corporation will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Amount deliverable in respect to the shares of Company Common Stock that was evidenced by the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate. No interest or dividends shall be paid or accrued on any portion of the Per Share Amount.

(g) As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, Merger Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer. The Schedule TO shall contain or shall incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and form of the related letter of transmittal and any other ancillary documents pursuant to which the Offer will be made (the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and such other documents, together with all exhibits, supplements and amendments thereto, being referred to herein collectively as the “Offer Documents”). Parent shall include in the Offer Documents a copy of this Agreement to fulfill the requirement of Section 607.1104(3) of the FBCA. Merger Sub shall cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to Company Shareholders to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Offer Documents to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of federal securities laws. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to correct promptly any information provided by any of them for use in the Offer Documents that shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Merger Sub further agree to use reasonable efforts to cause the Schedule TO, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC, and the other Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to Company Shareholders, in each case in all material respects as required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company shall promptly furnish to Merger Sub and Parent all information concerning the Company that is required or reasonably requested by Merger Sub or Parent in connection with their obligations relating to the Offer Documents or any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(g). Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents each time before any such document is filed with the SEC and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel. In addition, Parent and Merger Sub agree to (i) provide the Company and its counsel with any written comments Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments, (ii) provide a reasonably detailed description of any oral comments Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments, and (iii) unless there has been a Change of Recommendation (defined in Section 6.3(e)(v)), provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written response to such comments or any proposed amendment to the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.

(h) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Acceptance Date, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction, then the Per Share Amount applicable to such shares of Company Common Stock shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate.

(a) The Company hereby consents to and approves the Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subject to Section 6.3(e). The Company hereby further consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation.

(b) Promptly following the filing of the Schedule TO by Merger Sub, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing, except as provided in Section 6.3(e), the Company Board Recommendation. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be filed with the SEC on the same day as the Schedule TO shall be filed with the SEC. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of federal securities laws. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree to correct promptly any information provided by any of them for use in the Schedule 14D-9 that shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to Company Shareholders, in each case in all material respects as required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent or Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub that is required or reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its obligations relating to the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall give Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 before it is filed with the SEC. In addition, the Company agrees to (i) provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel with any written comments the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments, (ii) provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonably detailed description of any oral comments the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments, and (iii) unless there has been a Change of Recommendation, provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written response to such comments or any proposed amendment to the Schedule 14D-9 prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished (including by instructing its transfer agent to promptly furnish) to Merger Sub mailing labels containing the names and addresses of all record Company Shareholders and with security position listings of shares of Company Common Stock held in stock depositories, each as of a recent date, together with all other available listings and computer files containing names, addresses and security position listings of record holders and non-objecting beneficial owners of shares of Company Common Stock. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Merger Sub such additional information, including updated listings and computer files of shareholders, mailing labels and security position listings, and such other assistance in disseminating the Offer Documents to Company Shareholders as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request, all at Parent’s expense. Subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, including the rules of NASDAQ, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer or the Merger, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence the information contained in such labels, listings and files and shall use such information only in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger (collectively, the “Transactions”). If the Offer is terminated or if this Agreement shall be terminated, Merger Sub and Parent will promptly deliver and cause their Representatives to deliver to the Company (and delete electronic copies of) all copies, summaries and extracts of such information then in their possession or control. The term “Representatives” means the officers, directors, employees, partners, members, managers, agents, advisors, subsidiaries, affiliates or representatives of a party.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) exercisable only in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.3, to purchase that number of shares (but not less than that number) of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Option Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock collectively owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub or their affiliates at the time of such exercise, shall constitute one share of Company Common Stock more than 80% of the total shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (assuming the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares and the exercise of options that are vested or may vest prior to the Merger Outside Date) at a purchase price per Top-Up Option Share equal to the Per Share Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3(a), the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock and will terminate on the Acceptance Date if the number of Top-Up Option Shares exceeds the number of shares of Company Common Stock authorized and unissued or held in the treasury of the Company (giving effect to the shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to all then-outstanding Company Stock Options (defined in Section 3.3) and any other rights to acquire shares of Company Common Stock as if such shares were outstanding).

(b) The Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable unless, immediately after such exercise and the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant thereto, after accounting for the limitations set forth herein, Parent and Merger Sub or their affiliates would hold one share of Company Common Stock more than 80% of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable only once in whole and not in part within ten days after the Acceptance Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the Effective Time (defined in Section 2.2) and (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

(c) If Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall send to the Company a written notice (a “Top-Up Exercise Notice”) specifying the place for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares (the “Top-Up Closing”) and a date for the Top-Up Closing. Such notice shall also include an undertaking signed by Parent and Merger Sub that, as promptly as practicable following such exercise of the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms hereof. The Company shall, promptly after receipt of the Top-Up Exercise Notice, deliver a written notice to Merger Sub confirming (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding and then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis, and (ii) the number of Top-Up Option Shares issuable under the Top-Up Option and the aggregate purchase price therefor. In addition, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Merger Sub the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares.

(d) At the Top-Up Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall deliver to Merger Sub a certificate or certificates evidencing the applicable number of Top-Up Option Shares and (ii) Merger Sub shall purchase each Top-Up Option Share from the Company at the Per Share Amount. Payment of the purchase price for the Top-Up Option Shares may be made, at Merger Sub’s option, by delivery of (x) immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company or (y) a promissory note, or any combination thereof. Any such promissory note shall be full recourse to Parent, bear interest at the applicable federal rate as determined for U.S. income tax purposes, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares is accomplished consistent with all applicable legal requirements, including all federal securities laws.

(e) Upon the delivery by Merger Sub to the Company of the Top-Up Exercise Notice and the purchase price described in Section 1.3(d), Merger Sub shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be deemed to be the holder of record of the Top-Up Option Shares issuable upon that exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing those Top-Up Option Shares shall not then be actually delivered to Merger Sub or the Company shall have failed or refused to designate the account described in Section 1.3(d).

(f) Certificates evidencing Top-Up Option Shares delivered hereunder may include legends legally required by applicable securities laws. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the Top-Up Option Shares that Merger Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Securities Act”), and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that it is, or will be upon the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and that any Top-Up Shares are being acquired for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

2.1 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the provisions of the FBCA, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to have the Merger effected in accordance with Section 607.1104 of the FBCA, subject to Section 6.3(e). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue its existence under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company, in its capacity as the corporation surviving the Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.” If Parent and Merger Sub own at least 80% of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock after consummation of the Offer and, if applicable, exercise of the Top-Up Option, then Merger Sub agrees, and Parent agrees to promptly cause Merger Sub, to effect the Merger without a meeting of shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 607.1104 of the FBCA.

2.2 Effective Time. As promptly as possible on the Closing Date (as defined below), the parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Department of State of the State of Florida (the “Florida Department of State”) articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) in such form as is required by and executed in accordance with the FBCA. The Merger shall become effective (the “Effective Time”) when Articles of Merger have been filed with the Florida Department of State, or at such later time as shall be agreed upon by Parent and the Company and specified in the Articles of Merger. Prior to the filings referred to in this Section 2.2, a closing (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Winston & Strawn LLP, 35 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601, or such other place as the parties may agree on, as soon as practicable (but in any event within three business days) following the date on which all conditions set forth in Article VII that are capable of being satisfied prior to the Closing have been satisfied or waived, or at such other date as Parent and the Company may agree; provided that the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived at or prior to such date. The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” For all tax purposes, the Closing shall be effective at the end of the day on the Closing Date.

2.3 Effects of the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the FBCA.

2.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Articles of Merger shall provide that at the Effective Time (i) the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit A, and (ii) the Bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated to read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit B, in each case until amended in accordance with the FBCA; provided, however, that such Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation may only be amended in accordance with the terms of Section 6.2(a).

2.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The individuals specified by Parent in writing to the Company at least two business days prior to the Closing Date shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

3.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, or their respective shareholders:

(a) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Such newly issued shares shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Article III, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by Parent or Merger Sub) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive, and shall be exchangeable for (as provided in Section 3.2) the Per Share Amount, in cash payable to the holder of such share of Company Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).

(c) Each share of Company Common Stock held in treasury of the Company and each share of Company Common Stock owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired without any conversion thereof and shall cease to exist, and no payment or distribution shall be made and no consideration of any kind shall be delivered in exchange thereof.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 3.1(c), at the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(b) shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holders immediately prior to the Effective Time of Certificates and Book Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Book Entry Shares or Certificates in accordance with Section 3.2, the Merger Consideration of each share of Company Common Stock held by them.

(a) Pursuant to an agreement (the “Disbursing Agent Agreement”) to be entered into prior to the Effective Time between Parent and a disbursing agent designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Disbursing Agent”), prior to the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Disbursing Agent, in trust for the benefit of the Company Shareholders, the aggregate amount of cash payable as part of the Merger Consideration for the Company Common Stock and the Company Stock Options. The Disbursing Agent may invest the cash deposited with it in such manner as Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, directs, provided that substantially all of such investments be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America (collectively, “Permitted Investments”), or in money market funds which are invested solely in Permitted Investments. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, investment of the deposited cash shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation. Any funds remaining with the Disbursing Agent six months after the Effective Time shall be released and repaid by the Disbursing Agent to the Surviving Corporation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any additional terms as may be set forth in the Disbursing Agent Agreement, and such unclaimed funds shall, subject to Applicable Laws, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, after which time persons entitled to any part of the Merger Consideration may look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Disbursing Agent to send a notice and transmittal form to each holder of Certificates or Book Entry Shares, advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Disbursing Agent such Certificates or Book Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon the surrender of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares to the Disbursing Agent together with and in accordance with such transmittal form, the holder of the Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange the Merger Consideration payable in respect of each share represented by that Certificate or Book Entry Shares. Upon such surrender, the Disbursing Agent will promptly pay the Merger Consideration to the Company Shareholders. Until surrendered, each such Certificate or Book Entry Share shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Any fractional interest in a share of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to be exchanged for an amount equal to that fraction multiplied by the Merger Consideration.

(c) If the Merger Consideration (or any portion) is to be delivered to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificates or Book Entry Shares so surrendered are registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of the Merger Consideration that the Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers and otherwise be in proper form for transfer, that such transfer otherwise be proper and that the person requesting such transfer shall have paid to the Disbursing Agent any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the satisfaction of the Disbursing Agent that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid.

(d) If any Certificate has 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, the Surviving Corporation will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect to the shares of Company Common Stock that was evidenced by the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

(e) No interest or dividends shall be paid or accrued on any portion of the Merger Consideration.

(f) At any time following the ninth month after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Disbursing Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Merger Consideration which had been made available to the Disbursing Agent and not disbursed to holders of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options (defined below) (including all interest and other income received by the Disbursing Agent in connection with Permitted Investments) and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares held by them.

(a) Treatment of Equity Awards. All shares of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”) and all shares subject to outstanding options to purchase Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans or arrangements (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”) shall, as of immediately prior to the Effective Date, become fully vested and exercisable (in the case of Company Stock Options), whether or not previously vested and exercisable prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that any Company Stock Option or Restricted Stock issued in connection with an acquisition transaction by the Company shall not become fully vested and exercisable in connection with the Merger. To the extent necessary, the Company Board shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may required to effect the vesting of each share of Restricted Stock and each Company Stock Option, effective at the Effective Date.

(b) Payment. Each Company Stock Option shall be canceled at the Effective Date and converted automatically into a right to receive, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date but in any event within five (5) days after the Effective Date, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the applicable exercise price of such Company Stock Option by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Stock Option (assuming full vesting of such Company Stock Option) less all applicable deductions and withholdings required by law to be withheld in respect of such payment, provided, that if the exercise price per share is equal to or greater than the Per Share Amount, such Company Stock Option shall be canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof. Not more than ten (10) nor less than three (3) business days prior to the anticipated Effective Date, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, deliver to Parent a list, in form reasonably acceptable to Parent, of the number of Company Stock Options expected to be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, and the names of the holders thereof and in each case together with the applicable mailing addresses, tax identification numbers and other information relating to such holders as Parent may reasonably require in connection with the payments to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3. For any of the foregoing Company Stock Options that are not listed on the Option Schedule (as defined in Section 5.4), Parent may take such actions, as promptly as practicable, prior to making any payments under this Section 3.3 as are reasonably necessary and appropriate in order to verify the right of any person to receive such a payment hereunder, the identifying information relating to such person and whether any withholding is required with respect thereto and, if so, the amount thereof. Prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall provide notice to each holder of an outstanding award granted pursuant to any Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company Optionholder”) describing the treatment of such award in accordance with this Section 3.3. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure from each holder of a Company Stock Option a waiver, in form acceptable to Parent, accepting the consideration provided by this Section 3.3 in lieu of any other consideration that might be claimed by any such holder, unconditionally and irrevocably waiving and releasing all right or claim that such holder might have or assert in respect of such consideration, and acknowledging that such Company Stock Options shall terminate on and may not be exercised after the Effective Date.

3.4 Withholding Rights. Each of Merger Sub, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Disbursing Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement to any Company Shareholders and Company Optionholders such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, and paid over to the appropriate government authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Common Stock or Company Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by Parent and Merger Sub to the Company concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Parent Disclosure Schedule”), Parent and Merger Sub jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company that:

4.1 Organization and Standing. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation with full corporate power and authority to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to conduct its business as and where now owned, leased, used, operated and conducted, except where the failure to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation of the Transactions.

4.2 Corporate Power and Authority.

(c) The Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination letter or opinion letter with respect to each Plan that is intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (a “Qualified Plan”) and there are no existing circumstances nor any events that have occurred that would be reasonably expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any Qualified Plan or the related trust.

(d) All contributions required to be made by the Company or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates to any Plan by Applicable Laws 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 and through the Closing Date will be timely made or paid in full.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount paid or payable by the Company in connection with the Transactions, either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such Transactions in conjunction with any other events, will be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. The Company has previously provided to Parent the following information, which is true, complete and accurate in all material respects: (x) the amounts comprising the “base amount” for each of the four executives listed in Section 5.15(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, assuming a “base period” of 2006-2010 (as those terms are defined in Section 280G of the Code), and an estimate of such individuals’ annual compensation described in Section 280G(d)(1) of the Code for fiscal year 2011; and (y) a schedule of all outstanding the Company Options and restricted shares of the Company Common Stock, showing for each separate grant thereof, the individual to whom they were granted, the grant date, the vesting schedule (without regard to any vesting as a result of the Transactions) and, in the case of the Company Options, the exercise price thereof.

(l) Section 5.15(l) to the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth the names of all directors and officers of the Company, the total salary, bonus, and fringe benefits and perquisites (to the extent such fringe benefits or perquisites would have to be disclosed under Rule 402(b) of Regulation S-K assuming each such person was a named executive officer) each is expected to receive in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, and any changes to the foregoing that will occur as a matter of entitlement subsequent to March 31, 2011.

(m) Each Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code has been operated in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and no such Plan will result in any participant incurring income acceleration or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any indemnity obligation for any Taxes imposed under Section 409A of the Code.

(n) Subject to ERISA and the Code, each Plan (other than any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan) may be amended, terminated, or otherwise modified by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates, as applicable, to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, including the elimination of any and all future benefit accruals under any Plan.

Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall execute and deliver in its capacity as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, a written consent adopting the Merger Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) neither Parent nor any of its subsidiaries shall be required to hold separate (including by trust or otherwise) or to divest any of their respective businesses or assets, or to take or agree to take any action or agree to any limitation that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, results of operations or financial condition of Parent combined with the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time, (B) prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not be required to hold separate (including by trust or otherwise) or to divest any of their respective businesses or assets, or to take or agree to take any other action or agree to any limitation that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (C) neither party nor their respective subsidiaries shall be required to take any action that would reasonably be expected to substantially impair the benefits expected, as of the date hereof, to be realized from consummation of the Merger and (D) neither party shall be required to waive any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII as they apply to such party.

(b) Public Announcements. The initial press release concerning the Merger and the Transactions shall be a joint press release approved by Parent and the Company.

(i) From and after the Effective Time, Parent will, and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of Company pursuant to the indemnification agreements between the Company and its respective current or past directors, officers, employees or agents as of the Effective Time (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) identified on Section 6.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and any indemnification provisions under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Company Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of Company, unless such modification is required by Applicable Law; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Company Indemnified Party delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.2(a), the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as the claim is fully and finally resolved.

(ii) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor, in all respects, the obligation of the Company pursuant to any indemnification agreements of the Company, on the one hand, and any Company Indemnified Party, on the other hand, and any indemnification, exculpation, or advancement of expenses provisions under those agreements; provided, however, that such obligation shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under Applicable Law.

(iii) From the Effective Time and until its sixth anniversary, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the current or past directors and officers of the Company with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement (the “Existing Policy”); provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing Policy a policy or policies of comparable or better coverage with respect to both amount and the absence of exclusions.

(iv) Parent and the Surviving Corporation jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Company Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.2(a) to the extent that such Company Indemnified Party is judicially determined to be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.2(a).

(v) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns shall (A) consolidate with or merge with any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (B) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the surviving corporation shall assume all the obligations of Parent and Surviving Corporation set forth in this section. This Section 6.2(a) shall survive the consummation of the Merger at the Effective Time, is intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) and each such person’s or entity’s heirs and representatives, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Merger Sub.

(c) Employees and Employee Benefits. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall treat all service by the Company Employees (as defined below) with the Company and their respective predecessors prior to the Effective Time for all purposes as service with Parent (except for purposes of benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans or to the extent such treatment would result in duplicative accrual on or after the Closing Date of benefits for the same period of service), and, with respect to any medical or dental benefit plan of the Parent in which the Company Employees participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall waive or cause to be waived any pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements (provided, however, that no such waiver shall apply to a pre-existing condition of any Company Employee who was, as of the Effective Time, excluded from participation in a comparable Plan by virtue of such pre-existing condition), and shall provide that any covered expenses incurred on or before the Effective Time during the plan year of the applicable Plan in which the Effective Time occurs by a Company Employee or a Company Employee’s covered dependent shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Effective Time to the same extent as such expenses are taken into account for the benefit of similarly situated employees of Parent and subsidiaries of Parent. For purposes of this Section 6.2(c), “Company Employees” means persons who are, as of the Effective Time, employees of the Company.

(d) Standstill. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, prior to the Acceptance Date, neither Parent nor any current or future affiliate of Parent, during the term of this Agreement (the “Standstill Term”), shall in any manner, directly or indirectly, without the prior written approval of the Company’s Board of Directors: (i) effect or seek, offer or propose to effect, or announce any intention to effect or cause or participate in or in any way assist, facilitate, encourage or form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC) with any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose to effect or participate in (A) any acquisition of any voting securities (or beneficial ownership thereof), or rights or options to acquire any voting securities (or beneficial ownership thereof), or any assets or businesses of the Company, (B) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, (C) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or (D) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as these terms are used in the rules and regulations of the SEC) or consents to vote any voting securities of the Company or any of its affiliates; (ii) take any action which would or would reasonably be expected to force the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the matters set forth in (i) above, or (iii) authorize any of their respective Representatives to, in any manner, directly or indirectly, take any of the actions set forth in (i) or (ii) above. This provision supersedes the standstill agreement of the parties in the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below).

(i) If required by Applicable Law in order to consummate the Merger, the Company shall take all action in accordance with the federal securities laws, the FBCA and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the Company’s Bylaws necessary to duly and properly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company Shareholders (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) to be held on a date determined in consultation with Parent as soon as reasonably practicable following the Acceptance Date, to consider and vote upon approval of the Merger, this Agreement and the Transactions.

(ii) If required by Applicable Law in order to consummate the Merger, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Acceptance Date, the Company shall take all lawful actions to solicit the prompt approval of the Merger, this Agreement and Transactions, by the Company Shareholders, and the Company Board shall recommend approval of the Merger, this Agreement and the Transactions by the Company Shareholders (to the extent not previously withdrawn pursuant to Section 6.3(e).

(iii) If required by Applicable Law in order to consummate the Merger, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Acceptance Date, the Company (A) will prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement with respect to the Company Shareholders Meeting, (B) will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, if such clearance is required, and (C) as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, will cause copies of the Proxy Statement and form of proxy to be mailed to the Company Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the FBCA. Prior to the filing of the Proxy Statement and form of proxy with the SEC, the Company will provide a reasonable opportunity for Parent to review and comment upon the contents of the Proxy Statement and form of proxy and shall give Parent and its counsel the opportunity to review all responses to requests for additional information and replies to comments prior to their being filed with, or sent to, the SEC. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees to use its reasonable best efforts, after consultation with the other parties hereto, to respond promptly to all such comments of and requests by the SEC and to cause the Proxy Statement and all required amendments and supplements thereto to be mailed to Company Shareholders entitled to vote at the Company Shareholders Meeting at the earliest practicable time. The Proxy Statement and form of proxy will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and rules and regulations of the SEC. The Proxy Statement will include the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company Shareholders approve this Agreement (subject to Section 6.3(e) hereof). After delivery to the Company Shareholders of copies of the Proxy Statement and form of proxy, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in connection with such Company Shareholders Meeting in favor of approval of this Agreement (subject to Section 6.3(e) hereof).

(iv) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.3, including its obligation to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting, shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Superior Proposal (as defined in Section 6.3), until and unless the Company terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Merger Sub shall own and hold, together with all Company Common Stock held by Parent, at least eighty percent (80%) of the then outstanding Company Common Stock, after purchasing shares of Company Stock in the Offer, and, if applicable, pursuant to the Top-Up Option, the parties hereto agree, subject to Article VII, to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective in accordance with the FBCA, as soon as reasonably practicable after such acquisition, without a Company Shareholders Meeting.

(i) Subject to compliance with Applicable Law, upon the Acceptance Date and from time to time thereafter, Merger Sub shall be entitled to designate up to such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company Board as shall give Merger Sub representation on the Company Board equal to the product of (x) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (y) the ratio that the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned collectively by Parent, Merger Sub and any of their affiliates following such acceptance for purchase bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding, and the Company shall, at such time, upon Parent’s request, promptly take all actions reasonably necessary to cause Merger Sub’s designees to be elected as directors of the Company, including, at Parent’s election, by increasing the size of the Company Board or seeking and accepting the resignations of incumbent directors, or both. At such times, the Company shall cause persons designated by Merger Sub to constitute the same percentage (rounded up, if necessary) as persons designated by Merger Sub constitute of the Company Board of (i) each committee of the Company Board, (ii) the board of directors of each Company subsidiary and (iii) each committee of each such board. The provisions of this Section 6.3(b) are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that Merger Sub, Parent or any affiliate of Merger Sub or Parent may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under Applicable Law as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock.

(ii) The Company shall promptly take all actions required to fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.3(b), including all such actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors as is required under Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 to fulfill such obligations. Parent or Merger Sub shall supply to the Company, and be solely responsible for, any information with respect to either of them and their nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Merger Sub’s designees are elected or designated to the Company Board, then until the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Board to have at least two (2) directors who are directors on the date of this Agreement and who are independent directors for purposes of the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules (such directors, the “Independent Directors”), provided that, if any Independent Director is unable to serve due to death or disability or any other reason, the remaining Independent Director(s) shall be entitled to elect or designate another individual (or individuals) who serve(s) as a director (or directors) on the date of this Agreement (provided that no such individual is an employee of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries) to fill the vacancy, and such director (or directors) shall be deemed to be an Independent Director (or Independent Directors) for purposes of this Agreement. If no Independent Director then remains, the other directors shall designate two (2) individuals, provided that such individuals shall not be employees, officers, directors or affiliates of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub (or, in the event that there shall be less than two (2) directors available to fill the vacancies as a result of such individuals’ deaths, disabilities or refusals to serve, such smaller number of individuals who are directors on the date of this Agreement) to fill the vacancies and such directors shall be deemed Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. Following the Acceptance Date and prior to the Effective Time or termination of this Agreement by the Company, the approval of a majority (at least two) of the Independent Directors shall be required to authorize (and such authorization shall constitute the authorization of the Company Board and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize) any amendment or termination of this Agreement on behalf of the Company, any extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement, any waiver of compliance with any of the agreements of Parent or Merger Sub or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Company, any amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company , any action that would prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger, and any other determination with respect to any action to be taken or not taken by or on behalf of Company or the Company Board relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. The Independent Directors shall have the authority to retain counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company) at the expense of the Company for the purpose of fulfilling their obligations hereunder, and shall have the authority, after the Acceptance Date, to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce the performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms (and such authorization for such an action shall constitute the authorization of the Company Board and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize such action).

(c) Conduct of the Company’s Operations. Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the date on which Merger Sub’s designees constitute a majority of the members of the Company Board, the Company shall conduct its operations in the ordinary course except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the Transactions and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain and preserve its business organization and its material rights and franchises and to retain the services of its officers and key employees and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, lessees, licensees and other third parties, and to maintain all of its operating assets in their current condition (normal wear and tear excepted), to the end that their goodwill and ongoing business shall not be impaired in any material respect.

“Superior Proposal” means a bona-fide written Acquisition Proposal made by a third party to the Company after the date of this Agreement, and which the Company Board (A) determines in its good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors, to be more favorable to the Company Shareholders from a financial point of view than the Offer and Merger, taking into account all relevant factors (including, among other things, expected timing, risk of consummation, availability of financing, all other terms and conditions, and any proposed changes to this Agreement that may be proposed by the Parent in a binding written offer in response to such Acquisition Proposal).

“Excluded Party” means any person or group of related persons from whom the Company has received, prior to the Solicitation Period End Date, a written indication of interest that the Company Board reasonably determines (and provides written notice to Parent of such determination and a summary of the key terms thereof pursuant to subsection (ix) below) is bona fide and could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and which indication of interest is the subject of discussions that are continuing on the Solicitation Period End Date.

(vi) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(e)(v) or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, before the Acceptance Date, in response to the Company’s receipt of a Superior Proposal that has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the Acceptance Date, (x) make a Change of Recommendation if the Company Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that taking such action is required in order for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company Shareholders under Applicable Law and approve or recommend such Superior Proposal, and/or (y) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) unless, at or concurrently with such termination, the Company pays the Termination Fee in full and otherwise complies with the provisions of Article VIII; provided further that the Company Board shall not approve or recommend any Superior Proposal pursuant to the foregoing clause (x) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal unless:

A. the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least (72) hours in advance (the “Notice Period”), of its intention to take such action with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall specify the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof, and include a copy of the written proposal of the party making such Superior Proposal;

B. after providing such notice and prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation, approving or recommending such Superior Proposal or terminating this Agreement to enter into a proposed definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company shall, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent or its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Company not to effect a Change of Recommendation or would cause the Acquisition Proposal no longer to be a Superior Proposal, as reasonably determined by the Company Board, and make their Representatives available for such negotiations; and

C. the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement offered in writing by Parent in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by the Company and shall have determined that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes were to be given effect.

In the event of any amendment to the financial terms or any other material revision to the Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to again comply with the requirements of this Section 6.3(e)(vi) with respect to such new written notice, except that the Company’s Notice Period shall be reduced to twenty-four (24) hours (rather than the seventy-two (72) hours otherwise contemplated by this Section 6.3(e)(vi)).

(vii) No Change of Recommendation shall change the approval of the Company Board for purposes of causing any state takeover statute, other state law or the Rights Agreement to be inapplicable to the Transactions. However, after any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, the state takeover statutes and Rights Agreement will apply to any offer, stock purchase or other action by Buyer that triggers those measures.

(viii) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from complying with its disclosure obligations under Applicable Law with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from taking or disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, disclosure that the Company Board has determined that any person or group is an Excluded Party and information related to the Acquisition Proposal of such person or group (including the identity of the person or group and the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Recommendation if made prior to the Acceptance Date and such disclosure includes an express reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation and does not recommend in any way that Company Shareholders postpone or delay tendering their shares into the Offer as a result of such determination.

(ix) Notice. From and after the date hereof until the Solicitation Period End Date, the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) business days) notify Parent if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company or its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers). Within one (1) business day following the Solicitation Period End Date, the Company shall notify Parent of the number of Excluded Parties and provide Parent with a written summary of the material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal received from any Excluded Party. From and after the Solicitation Period End Date, the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) business days) notify Parent if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations.

(f) Litigation Cooperation. In the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary order or Applicable Law is entered, issued or enacted, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered, issued or enacted, in any proceeding, review or inquiry of any kind that would make consummation of the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Transactions, the Company and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts to take any and all steps reasonably necessary to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate, avoid or remove such actual, anticipated or threatened order so as to permit such consummation on a schedule as close as possible to that contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall keep each other reasonably informed unless doing so would, in the reasonable judgment of such other party, jeopardize any privilege of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect thereto, regarding any Litigation commenced or threatened against any party to this Agreement or any of their respective affiliates by any Governmental Authority or any private party relating to, arising out of or involving this Agreement or the Transactions or that would otherwise prevent or materially impede the consummation of the Transactions (collectively, the “Transaction Litigation”). The Company and Parent shall promptly advise each other orally and in writing and shall cooperate fully in connection with, and shall consult with each other with respect to any Transaction Litigation and the Company and Parent shall give consideration to each other’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation.

(g) Access. The Company shall permit representatives of Parent to have appropriate access at all reasonable times to the Company’s premises, properties, books, records, contracts, documents, customers and suppliers. Parent will keep the information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.3(g) or in connection with this Agreement confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and shall cause its Representatives who receive any portion of the same to keep all such information confidential, except as may otherwise be required by law.

(h) Form 10-K; Subsequent Financial Statements. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 on or before May 20, 2011. The Company shall consult with Parent prior to making publicly available its financial results for any period after the date of this Agreement and prior to filing any the Company SEC Documents after the date of this Agreement.

The name and address of the Incorporator to these of Articles of Incorporation are:

Provided the person proposed to be indemnified satisfies the requisite standard of conduct for permissive indemnification by a corporation as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act (currently Sections 607.0850(1) and (2) of the Florida Statutes), as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Act”), the Corporation shall indemnify its officers and directors, and may indemnify its employees and agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of such Act (subject to any limitations contained in an agreement entered into by such person and the Corporation), from and against any and all of the expenses or liabilities incurred in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (collectively, “proceeding”) (other than in a proceeding (a) initiated by such person (unless authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), or (b) wherein the Corporation and such person are adverse parties except for proceedings brought derivatively or by any receiver or trustee) or other matters referred to in or covered by said provisions, including advancement of expenses prior to the final disposition of such proceedings and amounts paid in settlement of such proceedings, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while an officer, director, employee or other agent of the Corporation.

Expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents shall also be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal and other legal representatives of such a person. Except as otherwise provided above, an adjudication of liability shall not affect the right to indemnification for those indemnified.

The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provisions contained in these Articles of Incorporation, or any amendment hereto, and any right conferred upon the shareholder(s) is subject to this reservation.

The Bylaws may be adopted, altered, amended, or repealed by either the shareholders or the Board of Directors, but the Board of Directors may not amend or repeal any Bylaw adopted by shareholders of the Corporation if the shareholders specifically provide such Bylaw is not subject to amendment or repeal by the Directors.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Incorporator has executed these Articles this day of March, 2011.

1.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders of this corporation shall be held at the time and place designated by the Board of Directors of this corporation. Business transacted at the annual meeting shall include the election of directors of this corporation.

1.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders shall be held when directed by the President or the Board of Directors, or when requested in writing by the holders of not less than ten percent (10%) of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. The call for the meeting shall be issued by the Secretary, unless the President, Board of Directors or shareholders requesting the meeting shall designate another person to do so.

1.3 Place. Meetings of shareholders may be held within or outside of the State of Florida. If no place is designated in the notice for a meeting of shareholders, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of this corporation.

1.4 Notice. Except as provided in the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “Act”), written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise provided by law, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by first class mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the officer or other persons calling the meeting. If the notice is mailed at least thirty (30) days before the date of the meeting, it may be done by a class of United States mail other than first class. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at the shareholder’s address as it appears in the current records of shareholders of this corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

1.5 Notice of Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. If, however, after the adjournment the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 1.4 to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at such meeting.

1.6 Waiver of Notice of Shareholders’ Meetings. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the shareholder or shareholders entitled to such notice, whether before, during or after the time of the meeting stated therein and delivered to this corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance by a shareholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of: (a) lack of notice or defective notice of such meeting, unless at the beginning of the meeting, the shareholder objects to holding the meeting; or (b) asserting defective notice of a particular matter at a meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the person objects to considering that particular matter when it is presented. Unless otherwise required by the Articles of Incorporation, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

1.7 Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or to demand a special meeting, or to receive payment of any distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than seventy (70) days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. A determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

If no prior action is required by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Act, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the first signed written consent is delivered to this corporation under Section 1.17.

1.8 Voting Record. After fixing a record date for a meeting of shareholders, this corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all shareholders who are entitled to notice of such meeting, arranged by voting group, with the address of, and the number and class and series, if any, of the shares held by, each shareholder. The shareholders’ list must be available for inspection by any shareholder for a period of ten (10) days prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting and continuing through the meeting at this corporation’s principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held, or at the office of this corporation’s transfer agent or registrar. Any shareholder of this corporation or his agent or attorney is entitled on written demand to inspect the shareholders’ list (subject to the requirements of the Act), during regular business hours and at his or her expense, during the period it is available for inspection. This corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting of shareholders, and any shareholder or his or her agent or attorney is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment.

If the requirements of this Section have not been substantially complied with, the meeting shall be adjourned until such time as this corporation complies with such requirements on demand of any shareholder in person or by proxy who failed to get such access. If no such demand is made, failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 1.8 shall not affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.

1.9 Shareholder Quorum and Voting. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by the Act, a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter by each voting group, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders, but in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one third of the shares of each voting group entitled to vote. If less than a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. After a quorum has been established at any shareholders’ meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of shareholders, so as to reduce the number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting. When a specified item of business is required to be voted on by a class or series of stock, a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such item of business by that class or series.

1.10 Votes Per Share. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by the Act, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.

1.11 Manner of Action. If a quorum is present, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless a greater or lesser number of affirmative votes is required by the Articles of Incorporation or by law.

1.12 Voting for Directors. At each election for directors, every shareholder entitled to vote at such election shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him or her for as many persons as there are directors to be elected at that time and for whose election he or she has a right to vote. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, cumulative voting is not authorized and the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

1.13 Voting of Shares. A shareholder may vote at any meeting of shareholders of this corporation, either in person or by proxy.

Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent or proxy designated by the bylaws of the corporate shareholder or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person as the board of directors of the corporate shareholder may designate. Proof of such designation may be made by presentation of a certified copy of the bylaws or other instrument of the corporate shareholder. In the absence of any such designation or, in the case of conflicting designation by the corporate shareholder, the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, the Secretary and the Treasurer of the corporate shareholder shall be presumed to possess, in that order, authority to vote such shares.

Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, personal representative or conservator may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him or her without a transfer of such shares into his or her name or the name of his or her nominee.

Shares held by or under the control of a receiver, a trustee in a bankruptcy proceeding or an assignee for the benefit of creditors may be voted by such person without the transfer thereof into his or her name.

If shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship with respect to the same shares, unless the Secretary of this corporation is given notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, then acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, in person or by proxy, that act binds all; (b) if more than one votes, in person or by proxy, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one votes, in person or by proxy, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction is entitled to vote the share or shares in question proportionally; or (d) if the instrument or order so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a majority or a vote evenly split for purposes hereof shall be a majority or a vote evenly split in interest. The principles of this paragraph shall apply, insofar as possible, to execution of proxies, waivers, consents, or objections and for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of a quorum.

1.14 Proxies. Any shareholder of this corporation, other person entitled to vote on behalf of a shareholder pursuant to the Act, or attorney-in-fact for such persons, may vote the shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy. Any shareholder of this corporation may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for him or her by signing an appointment form, either personally or by an attorney-in-fact. An executed telegram or cablegram appearing to have been transmitted by such person, or a photographic, photostatic, or equivalent reproduction of an appointment form, shall be deemed a sufficient appointment form.

An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary of this corporation or such other officer or agent which is authorized to tabulate votes, and shall be valid for up to eleven (11) months, unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form.

The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of this corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment.

An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest.

1.15 Voting Trusts. One or more shareholders may create a voting trust, conferring on a trustee the right to vote or otherwise act for them, by signing an agreement setting out the provisions of the trust and transferring their shares to the trustee. When a voting trust agreement is signed, the trustee shall prepare a list of the names and addresses of all owners of beneficial interest in the trust, together with the number and class of shares each transferred to the trust, and deliver copies of the list and agreement to this corporation’s principal office. After filing a copy of the list and agreement in this corporation’s principal office, such copies shall be open to inspection by any shareholder of this corporation, subject to the requirements of the Act, or to any beneficiary of the trust under the agreement during business hours. The trustee must also deliver a copy of each extension of the voting trust agreement, and a list of beneficial owners under such extended agreement, to this corporation’s principal office.

1.16 Shareholders’ Agreements. Two or more shareholders may provide for the manner in which they will vote their shares, and providing for such other matters as are permitted by the Act, by signing an agreement for that purpose. When a shareholders’ agreement is signed, the shareholders who are parties thereto shall deliver copies of the agreement to this corporation’s principal office. After filing a copy of the agreement in this corporation’s principal office, such copies shall be open to inspection by any shareholder of this corporation, subject to the requirements of the Act, or any party to the agreement during business hours.

1.17 Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if the action is taken by the holders of outstanding shares of each voting group entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes with respect to each voting group that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all voting groups and shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. In order to be effective, the action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, dated and signed by approving shareholders having the requisite number of votes of each voting group entitled to vote thereon, and delivered to this corporation by delivery to its principal office in Florida, its principal place of business, the Secretary of this corporation, or any other officer or agent of this corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded. No written consent shall be effective to take such corporate action unless, within sixty (60) days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section, written consents signed by the number of holders required to take such action are delivered to this corporation as set forth in this Section.

Any written consent may be revoked prior to the date that this corporation receives the required number of consents to authorize the proposed action. No revocation is effective unless in writing and until received by this corporation at its principal office in Florida or its principal place of business, or received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of this corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded.

Within ten (10) days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action is one for which dissenters’ rights are provided under the Articles of Incorporation or by law, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of shareholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with applicable law.

A consent signed as required by in this Section 1.17 has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.

Whenever action is taken as set forth in this Section 1.17, the written consent of the shareholders consenting thereto or the written reports of Inspectors of Election appointed to tabulate such consents shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of shareholders.

1.18 Inspectors of Election. Prior to each meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors or the President may appoint one or more Inspectors of Election. Upon his or her appointment, each such Inspector of Election shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of Inspector of Election at such meeting with strict impartiality and to the best of his or her ability. Such Inspectors of Election shall determine the number of shares outstanding, the number of shares present at the meeting and whether a quorum is present at such meeting. The Inspectors of Election shall receive votes and ballots and shall determine all challenges and questions as to the right to vote and shall thereafter count and tabulate all votes and ballots and determine the result. Such Inspectors of Election shall do such further acts as are proper to conduct the elections of directors and the vote on other matters with fairness to all shareholders. The Inspectors of Election shall make a certificate of the results of the elections of directors and the vote on other matters. No Inspector of Election shall be a candidate for election as a director of this corporation.

2.1 Functions. Except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by law, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of this corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the Board of Directors.

2.2 Number. The initial Board of Directors of this corporation shall consist of one (1) or more persons. The number of directors may at any time and from time to time be increased or decreased by action of either the shareholders or the Board of Directors, but no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.

2.3 Qualifications. A director must be a natural person who is 18 years of age or older but need not be a citizen of the United States, a resident of the State of Florida or a shareholder of this corporation.

2.4 Term. Each director shall hold office until a successor has been elected and qualified or until an earlier resignation, removal from office or death.

2.5 Removal of Directors. Any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed, with or without cause, by action of the shareholders, unless the Articles of Incorporation Florida that the directors may be removed only for cause. If a director was elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove that director. The notice of the meeting at which a vote is taken to remove a director must state that the purpose or one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of the director or directors.

2.6 Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to this corporation, the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board. Such resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date, in which event the Board of Directors may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if the Board of Directors provides that the successor does not take office until the effective date.

2.7 Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, including any vacancy created by reason of an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by the shareholders. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next shareholders’ meeting at which directors are elected.

2.8 Chairman of the Board. If the Board of Directors appoints a chairman of the board, he shall, when present, preside at all meetings of the stockholders and the Board of Directors. He shall perform such duties and possess such powers as are customarily vested in the office of the chairman of the board or as may be vested in him by the Board of Directors.

2.9 Regular Meetings. An annual regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without notice immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders for the purpose of the election of officers and the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting, and at such other time and place as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, at any time and from time to time, provide by resolution, the time and place, either within or outside of the State of Florida, for the holding of the annual regular meeting or additional regular meetings of the Board of Directors without other notice than such resolution.

2.10 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any two (2) directors.

The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or outside of the State of Florida, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by them. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of this corporation in the State of Florida.

Notice of any special meeting of the Board of Directors may be given by any reasonable means, whether oral or written, and at any reasonable time prior to such meeting. The reasonableness of any notice given in connection with any special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be determined in light of all of the pertinent circumstances. It shall be presumed that notice of any special meeting given at least two (2) days prior to such special meeting, either orally (by telephone or in person), or by written notice delivered personally or mailed to each director at his or her business or residence address, is reasonable. If mailed, such notice of any special meeting shall be deemed to be delivered on the second day after it is deposited in the United States mail, so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice is given by telegram, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose or purposes of, any special meetings of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or in any written waiver of notice of such meeting.

2.11 Waiver of Notice of Meeting. Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to any director who signs a written waiver of notice either before, during or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and waiver of any and all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting and the manner in which it has been called or convened, except when a director states, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival at the meeting, any objection to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

2.12 Quorum and Voting. A majority of the number of directors fixed in the manner provided by these bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided however, that whenever, for any reason, a vacancy occurs in the Board of Directors, a quorum shall consist of a majority of the remaining directors until the vacancy has been filled. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present when the vote is taken shall be the act of the Board of Directors.

A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn any meeting of the Board of Directors to another time and place. Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other directors.

2.13 Presumption of Assent. A director of this corporation who is present at a meeting of its Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken, unless he or she (i) objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his or her arrival) to holding the meeting or transacting specified business at the meeting, or (ii) votes against such action or abstains from the action taken.

2.14 Meetings of the Board of Directors by Means of Telephone Conference or Similar Communications. Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of such Board by means of a telephone conference or similar communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

2.15 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the directors of this corporation, or all the members of the committee, as the case may be. Action taken under this Section is effective when the last director or member of the committee signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. Such consent shall have the effect as a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.

2.16 Compensation. Each director may be paid his or her expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and a committee thereof, and may be paid a stated salary as a director or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) or both, as may from time to time be determined by action of the Board of Directors. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving this corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

2.17 Director Conflicts of Interests. No contract or other transaction between this corporation and one or more of its directors or any other corporation, firm, association or entity in which one or more of the directors of this corporation are directors or officers or are financially interested shall be either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest, or because such director or directors of this corporation are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction, or because his or her or their vote(s) are counted for such purpose, if:

(a) The fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee which authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the vote(s) or written consent(s) of such interested director(s); or

(b) The fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and they authorize, approve or ratify such contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or

(c) The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable as to this corporation at the time it is authorized by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the shareholders.

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction.

The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees each of which, to the extent provided in such resolution, shall have and may exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors, except as prohibited by the Act.

Each committee must have two (2) or more members who serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted in accordance with this Article III, may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any such committee who may act in the place and stead of any absent member or members at any meeting of such committee.

Any two (2) or more offices may be held by the same person.

4.2 Appointment and Term of Office. The officers of this corporation shall be appointed annually by the Board of Directors at the first meeting of the Board held after the shareholders’ annual meeting. If the appointment of officers does not occur at this meeting, the appointment shall occur as soon thereafter as practicable. Each officer shall hold office until a successor has been duly appointed and qualified, or until an earlier resignation, removal from office, or death.

4.3 Removal of Officers. Any officer of this corporation may be removed from his or her office or position at any time, with or without cause, by the Board of Directors. Any officer or assistant officer, if appointed by another officer pursuant to authority, if any, received from the Board of Directors, may likewise be removed by such officer.

4.4 Resignation. Any officer of this corporation may resign at any time from his or her office or position by delivering notice to this corporation, the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board. Such resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date. If a resignation is made effective at a later date and this corporation accepts the future effective date, the Board of Directors may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if the Board provides that the successor does not take office until the effective date.

4.5 Duties. If so appointed by the Board of Directors, the officers of this corporation shall have the following duties:

The President shall be the chief executive officer of this corporation and shall, subject to the control of the Board of Directors, in general, supervise and control all of the business and affairs of this corporation, and shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders, the Board of Directors and all committees of the Board of Directors on which he or she may serve. In addition, the President shall possess, and may exercise, such power and authority, and shall perform such duties, as may from time to time be assigned to him or her by the Board of Directors, and as are incident to the office of President.

Each Vice President shall possess, and may exercise, such power and authority, and shall perform such duties, as may from time to time be assigned to him or her by the Board of Directors or the President.

The Secretary shall have custody of, and maintain, all of the corporate records except the financial records, shall record the minutes of all meetings of the shareholders and Board of Directors, see that all notices of meetings are duly given, keep a register of the mailing address of each shareholder of this corporation, be responsible for authenticating records of this corporation and perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors or the President.

4.6 Other Officers, Employees, and Agents.

5.1 Certificates for Shares. The Board of Directors shall determine whether shares of this corporation shall be uncertificated or certificated. If certificated shares are issued, certificates representing shares in this corporation shall be signed (either manually or by facsimile) by the President or Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and may be sealed with the seal of this corporation or a facsimile thereof. A certificate which has been signed by an officer or officers who later shall have ceased to be such officer when the certificate is issued shall nevertheless be valid. No certificate shall be issued for any share until such share is fully paid. Upon receipt of the consideration for which the Board of Directors has authorized for the issuance of the shares, such shares so issued shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

Each share certificate representing shares shall state upon the face thereof: (a) the name of this corporation; (b) that this corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Florida; (c) the name of the person or persons to whom issued; (d) the number and class of shares, and the designation of the series, if any, which such certificate represents; and (e) if different classes of shares or different series within a class are authorized, a summary of the designation, relative rights, preferences, and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences, and limitations determined for each series (and the authority of the Board of Directors to determine variations for future series), or in the alternative, that this corporation will provide the shareholder with a full statement of this information on request and without charge. If the share is uncertificated, this corporation shall, within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of such share, send the shareholder a written statement of the information required to be placed on a certificate as above set forth.

5.2 Transfer of Shares; Ownership of Shares. Transfers of shares of stock of this corporation shall be made only on the stock transfer books of this corporation, and only after the surrender to this corporation of the certificates representing such shares, if any. Except as provided by the Act, the person in whose name the shares stand on the books of this corporation shall be deemed by this corporation to be the owner thereof for all purposes and this corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

5.3 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. This corporation shall issue a new stock certificate in the place of any certificate previously issued if the holder of record of the certificate: (a) makes proof in affidavit form that it has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken; (b) requests the issuance of a new certificate before this corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim; (c) at the discretion of the Board of Directors, gives bond in such form and amount as this corporation may require, to indemnify this corporation, the transfer agent and registrar against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of such certificate; and (d) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by this corporation.

Unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, the President or a designee of the President shall have the power to vote and to otherwise act on behalf of this corporation, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of shareholders on, or with respect to, any action of shareholders of any other corporation in which this corporation may hold securities and to otherwise exercise any and all rights and powers which this corporation may possess by reason of its ownership of securities in other corporations.

7.1 Books and Records. This corporation shall maintain accurate accounting records and shall keep records of minutes of all meetings of its shareholders and Board of Directors, a record of all actions taken by the shareholders or Board of Directors without a meeting, and a record of all actions taken by a committee of the Board of Directors in place of the Board of Directors on behalf of this corporation.

This corporation or its agent shall also maintain a record of its shareholders in a form that permits preparation of a list of names and addresses of all shareholders in alphabetical order by classes of shares showing the number and series of shares held by each.

This corporation shall keep a copy of the following records: (a) its Articles or Restated Articles of Incorporation and all amendments thereto currently in effect; (b) its bylaws or restated bylaws and all amendments thereto currently in effect; (c) written communications to all shareholders generally or all shareholders of a class or series within the past three years, including the financial statements furnished for the past three years; (d) a list of the names and business street addresses of its current directors and officers; and (e) its most recent annual report delivered to the Department of State.

Any books, records and minutes may be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time.

7.2 Financial Information. Unless modified by resolution of the shareholders, not later than four months after the close of each fiscal year this corporation shall prepare a balance sheet showing in reasonable detail the financial condition of the corporation as of the close of its fiscal year, and a profit and loss statement showing the results of the operations of the corporation during its fiscal year.

Upon the written request of any shareholder or holder of voting trust certificates for shares of the corporation, the corporation shall mail to such shareholder or holder of voting trust certificates a copy of the most recent such balance sheet and profit and loss statement.

The balance sheets and profit and loss statements shall be filed in the registered office of the corporation in this state, shall be kept for at least five years, and shall be subject to inspection during business hours by any shareholder or holder of voting trust certificates, in person or by agent.

The Board of Directors shall provide for a corporate seal which may be facsimile, engraved, printed or an impression seal which shall be circular in form and shall have inscribed thereon the name of this corporation, the words “seal” and “Florida” and the year of incorporation.

These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new bylaws may be adopted, by either the Board of Directors or the shareholders, but the Board of Directors may not alter, amend or repeal any bylaw adopted by shareholders if the shareholders specifically provide that such bylaw is not subject to amendment or repeal by the directors.
