Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Merger Agreement with Stryker

On December 31, 2013, Stryker Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Stryker”), PS Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker (“Purchaser”), and Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company with the separate corporate existence of Purchaser thereupon ceasing and with the Company being the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding common share (other than common shares held by the Company, Stryker, Purchaser or a stockholder who properly demands appraisal of such common shares under Delaware law) will be converted into a right to receive in cash $2.22 per common share (the “Common Consideration”).  Each issued and outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock (other than those shares held by the Company, Stryker, Purchaser or a stockholder who properly demands appraisal of such common shares under Delaware law) will be converted into a right to receive in cash $100.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. Further, each issued and outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock (other than those shares held by the Company, Stryker, Purchaser or a stockholder who properly demands appraisal of such common shares under Delaware law) will be converted into a right to receive in cash $296.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock.

Each vested and exercisable option to acquire common shares that is outstanding immediately prior to the Merger will be canceled and terminated in exchange for the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of (a) the total number of common shares for which such option remains outstanding and unexercised prior to the effective time and (b) the excess (if any) of the Common Consideration over the exercise price of such option. All unvested options will become immediately vested and exercisable. Each of the Company, Purchaser and Stryker made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants by the Company to conduct its business in the ordinary course during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, the approval by the Company’s stockholders, the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the Merger, the receipt of specified governmental consents and approvals, the early termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and, subject to materiality exceptions, the accuracy of representations and warranties made by the Company and Stryker, respectively, and compliance by the Company and Stryker with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement.  The Merger is not subject to any financing condition.

2

The Merger Agreement requires the necessary Company stockholder approval and, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed (i) not to solicit alternative transactions or enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any alternative transaction and (ii) that the Company’s board of directors will recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.

Prior to adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s board of directors may in certain circumstances change its recommendation that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, subject to complying with certain notice and other specified conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including giving Stryker the opportunity to propose changes to the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including by the Company, prior to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, in the event that the Company receives an unsolicited proposal that the Company concludes, after following certain procedures, is a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  If the Company receives a Superior Proposal, Stryker must be given the opportunity to match the Superior Proposal. In addition, Stryker may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including if the Company’s board of directors changes its recommendation that stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement or approves a Superior Proposal for an alternative transaction.  In the foregoing circumstances, the Company would be required to pay Stryker a termination fee of $4 million.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the Merger Agreement has been included to provide stockholders with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any factual information about the Company, Stryker or Purchaser.  The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of parties to the Merger Agreement; and are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by the Company’s stockholders, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties in the event the statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Merger Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders.  Accordingly, stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Stryker or Purchaser.  Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.  The Company acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Form 8-K not misleading.

Voting Agreements Relating to Merger

On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into voting agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) with certain shareholders of the Company, namely, John P. Francis, Louis Glazer, Melanie Glazer, Wenchen Lin and Brian E. Stewart (the “Signing Stockholders”). The Voting Agreements require each Signing Stockholder to vote all of his or her shares (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger, or in favor of any amendment to the Merger Agreement which makes the Merger Agreement more favorable to the Signing Stockholder, (ii) against approval of any proposal in opposition to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iii) against any competing proposals or competing transactions that would impede the Merger or result in a breach of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each Signing Stockholder waives appraisal rights and provides an irrevocable proxy. The Voting Agreements do not limit or restrict the Signing Stockholder in his or her capacity as a director or officer from acting in such capacity or voting in such capacity in such person’s sole discretion on any matter.

The Voting Agreements and irrevocable proxies granted pursuant to the Voting Agreements terminate upon the earlier to occur: (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) the effective time and (iii) the Company’s board of directors changes its recommendation that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.

Item 8.01   Other Events

On December 31, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 31, 2013 among the Company, Stryker and PS Merger Sub Inc.. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release regarding the Company’s business that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements reflect management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance; however, you should not put undue reliance on these statements.  When used, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "future," and other similar expressions, without limitation, identify forward-looking statements.  These statements include those related to the expected benefits of the Stryker transaction and the expected closing date of the Stryker transaction. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include such factors as: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Stryker acquisition agreement, (2) the failure to obtain approval of the Company’s stockholders or the failure to satisfy any of the other closing conditions, (3) risks related to disruption of management's attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations due to the Stryker transaction and (4) the effect of the announcement of the Stryker transaction on the Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and others with whom the Company does business, or on the Company’s operating results and business generally.These risks and uncertainties also include but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to implement in all hospitals within the larger hospitals organizations with which it has agreements, ability to implement in those hospitals with which it has scheduled implementations, the early stage of adoption of the Company’s Safety-Sponge® System and the need to expand adoption of the Safety-Sponge® System; the impact on future revenue and cash flows from the ordering patterns of the Company’s exclusive distributor Cardinal Health; the need for additional financing to support the Company’s business; the Company’s reliance on third-party manufacturers, some of whom are sole-source suppliers, and on its exclusive distributor; and any inability to successfully protect the Company’s intellectual property portfolio.  In light of the risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will in fact prove to be correct.

Forward-looking statements can be affected by many other factors, including, those described in the "Business", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and “Factors Affecting Future Results” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2012, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other public filings. These documents are available online through the Security and Exchange Commission's (the “SEC”) website, www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements are based on information presently available to senior management, and the Company has not assumed any duty to update any forward-looking statements.

All Shares owned by the Company, Parent or Purchaser (but not any Shares owned by any of their respective Subsidiaries (for the absence of doubt, other than Purchaser itself or the Company itself), which Shares, if any, shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation so as to maintain relative ownership percentages) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(d)Purchaser Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Common Stock”) shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and, except as set forth in Section 2.1(c) above, shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing Purchaser Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(e)Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The applicable Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Capital Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Capital Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.2Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a)Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall designate a reputable bank or trust company, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as the payment agent in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). Prior to or at the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration with respect to Shares converted into the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) (the “Exchange Fund”). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b), Parent shall, or shall cause Purchaser to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to: direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government; commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively; or certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation on the earlier of six (6) months after the Effective Time or full payment of the Exchange Fund, and no part of such interest or other income shall accrue to the benefit of holders of the Shares.

(b)Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the Effective Time), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the Paying Agent to mail (and make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) and whose Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the applicable Merger Consideration and for submitting Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents reasonably acceptable to the Company as may be appointed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, to be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) within five (5) business days following the later to occur of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the applicable Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the applicable Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Article II, without interest thereon.

5

(c)Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares evidencing Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged, without interest thereon, as provided in this Agreement.

(d)Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following six (6) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Paying Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, immediately prior to the date any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration shall become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

6

(e)Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 2.3Dissenting Shares.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to, but did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Appraisal Rights”) shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the Appraisal Rights (it being understood that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares to the extent afforded by the Appraisal Rights); provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares under the Appraisal Rights, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing such Dissenting Shares shall represent solely the right to receive, the applicable Merger Consideration.

(b)The Company shall give prompt notice to Purchaser of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to Appraisal Rights, and Purchaser shall have the right to participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.4Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Shares.

(a)No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding, unvested and unexercised option to purchase Common Shares granted under any Company Equity Plan or any other plan, agreement or arrangement (the “Company Options”) shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full, and with respect to any Company Options that remain outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, all such Company Options shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement thereof, a payment in cash of an amount equal to the product of (A) the total number of Common Shares for which such Company Option remains outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the excess, if any, of the Common Consideration over the exercise price per Common Share previously subject to such Company Option (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Option Consideration”). The Option Consideration shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation as soon as practicable following the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, each such cancelled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Consideration, if any. Parent shall not assume any Company Options.

7

(b)Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all outstanding shares of restricted stock (the “Restricted Shares”) granted under any Company Equity Plan shall become immediately vested and all restrictions thereupon shall lapse, and such Restricted Shares shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, with respect to each Restricted Share so cancelled, the Common Consideration, which shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.

(c)The Company shall take all actions as may be necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options and Restricted Shares (collectively, the “Company Equity Awards”) as contemplated by this Section 2.4, including delivery of any notices required. Prior to taking any such actions, the Company shall consult with Parent and provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any related notices, filings or other documents.

Section 2.5Additional Benefits Matters; Withholding. All amounts payable pursuant to Article II shall be paid without interest. Any payments made pursuant to Article II shall be net of all applicable withholding Taxes that Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law, and Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct such amounts. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation  or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.6Treatment of Warrants. Except for the Company Warrants listed on Schedule 2.6, Parent shall not assume any Company Warrants. Pursuant to their terms, at the Effective Time, each Company Warrant shall no longer be exercisable for any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation but shall become exercisable solely for the Common Consideration that would have been payable to the holders thereof in the Merger had they exercised the Company Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall take all actions as may be necessary to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Company Warrants in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions, including delivery of the notice required for each Company Warrant. The Company shall take all such actions in compliance with applicable Law. Prior to taking any such actions, the Company shall consult with Parent and provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any related notices, filings or other documents.

Section 5.2Solicitation.

(a)From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, and except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Company agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any Company Subsidiary to), and that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission of any Competing Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information relating to the Company in connection with a Competing Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions with any Person with respect to any Competing Proposal, (iv) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Competing Proposal, (v) withdraw, change, amend, modify or qualify, or otherwise propose publicly to withdraw, change, amend, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, or otherwise make any statement or proposal inconsistent with, the Company Board Recommendation, (vi) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any agreement or commitment providing for any Competing Proposal, or (vii) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing (any act described in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) above, a “Change of Recommendation”). The Company agrees that it shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, negotiations and communications, if any, with any Persons with respect to any Competing Proposal and request that any such Person (and its Representatives) in possession of confidential information about the Company return or destroy all such information promptly, subject to contractual retention rights of any such Person.

(b)Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(a), if the Company receives at any time following the date hereof and prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval, on an unsolicited basis, a bona fide written Competing Proposal (that did not arise or result from any breach of Section 5.2) which(i) constitutes a Superior Proposal or (ii) the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors would reasonably be expected to result, after the taking of any of the actions referred to in either of clause (x) or (y) below, in a Superior Proposal, the Company may take the following actions prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval: (x) furnish nonpublic information to the Person making such Competing Proposal, if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the such Person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement  (a copy of which shall be provided to Parent promptly following its execution) and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with the such Person with respect to the Competing Proposal; provided, however, that as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Company taking such actions as described in clauses (x) and (y) above, the Company shall (A) provide written notice to Parent of such Superior Proposal or the determination of the Company Board of Directors as provided for in clause (ii) above, as applicable and (B) provide to Parent any material non-public information concerning the Company provided to such Person which was not previously provided to Parent substantially concurrently with the time such information is provided to such other Person. Effective as of the Company’s taking any action described in clauses (x) or (y) above or upon a determination by the Company Board of Directors that a Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the standstill and any other similar provisions in the Confidentiality Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect to the extent any such provisions would otherwise operate to prevent Parent from proposing changes to this Agreement.

37

(c)The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) orally and in writing notify Parent if any inquiries, proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives, in each case, in connection with, or which could reasonably be expected to result in, a Competing Proposal, which notice shall identify the name of the Person making such inquiry, proposal or request or seeking such negotiations or discussions and the material terms and conditions of such inquiry, proposal or request and include copies of all written materials provided to the Company or any of its Representatives that describe any terms and conditions of any inquiry, proposal or request (and any subsequent changes to such terms and conditions). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Competing Proposals or any material change to the financial or other terms of any such Competing Proposal.

(d)Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(a), prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board of Directors may, solely in response to an Intervening Event, effect a Change of Recommendation if the Company Board of Directors has concluded in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors that the failure of the Company Board of Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the exercise of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board of Directors shall not be entitled to effect such a Change of Recommendation until three (3) full business days following delivery of written notice to Parent (an “Intervening Event Notice”) from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors intends to effect such a Change of Recommendation and specifying the reasons therefor, which notice shall include a description of the applicable Intervening Event. In determining whether to make such a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event, the Company Board of Directors shall take into account any proposals made by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement and shall not make such a Change of Recommendation unless, prior to the effectiveness of such Change of Recommendation, the Company Board of Directors, after considering the results of any such negotiations and any revised proposals made by Parent, concludes that the Company Board of Directors continues to meet the requirements set forth in this Section 5.2(d) to make such a Change of Recommendation.

38

(e)Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(a), if the Company Board of Directors has concluded after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors that a Competing Proposal received by the Company after the date hereof on an unsolicited basis (that did not arise or result from any breach of Section 5.2) constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board of Directors may prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval cause the Company to, after complying with Section 5.2(f), (i) make a Change of Recommendation or (ii) concurrently enter into a binding written agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1.

(f)Neither the Company nor the Company Board of Directors shall take any of the actions described in Section 5.2(e) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e), in each case, unless (i) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with this Section 5.2, (ii) the Company shall have given Parent and Purchaser prompt written notice  advising them of the decision of the Company Board of Directors to take such action, detailing the terms and conditions of the Competing Proposal that serves as the basis of such action, the identity of the Person making the proposal, a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for such Superior Proposal and any related agreements in the form to be entered into (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) and (iii) (A) the Company shall have given Parent and Purchaser three (3) full business days after delivery of a Superior Proposal Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Transactions (and/or make any other proposals) and during such time shall have negotiated and caused its Representatives to negotiate (if Parent and Purchaser have notified the Company that they desire to negotiate), confidentially and in good faith with Parent and Purchaser so as to have such Competing Proposal cease to qualify as a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that, in the event of an amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company Board of Directors shall not be entitled to so make a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement based on such Superior Proposal, as so amended, until three (3) full business days following delivery to Parent of a Superior Proposal Notice with respect to such Superior Proposal as so amended) and (B) the Company Board of Directors shall have concluded, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors and considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to any proposals, amendments or modifications offered by Parent and Purchaser, that such Competing Proposal nevertheless remains a Superior Proposal.

(g)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board of Directors has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under any applicable Law; provided, however,that (1) in no event shall this Section 5.2(f) affect the obligations specified in Section 5.2(d) or Section 5.2(f) and (2) any such disclosure (other than issuance by the Company of a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board of Directors with respect to this Agreement or a Competing Proposal shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation unless the Company Board of Directors in connection with such communication publicly states that its recommendation with respect to this Agreement has not changed or refers to the prior recommendation of the Company Board of Directors, without disclosing any Change of Recommendation.

39

Section 5.3Proxy Statement. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, subject to prior notice to  Parent, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof (and in any event, within fifteen (15) business days of the date hereof), a preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) relating to the Merger as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Each of Parent and Purchaser shall furnish to the Company the information relating to it required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be included in the Preliminary Proxy Statement. The Company shall obtain and furnish the information required to be included in the Preliminary Proxy Statement, shall provide Parent with, and consult with Parent regarding, any comments that may be received from the SEC or its staff with respect thereto, shall respond promptly to any such comments made by the SEC or its staff with respect to the Preliminary Proxy Statement, shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders at the earliest reasonably practicable date and shall use its reasonable best efforts (subject to Section 5.2) to obtain the necessary approval of the Merger by its stockholders. If, at any time prior to the Special Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent, Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates, this Agreement or the Transactions (including the Merger), should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be prepared by the Company and filed with the SEC, and to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. Except as Section 5.2 expressly permits, the Proxy Statement shall include the fairness opinion contemplated by Section 3.21, the notice required by Section 262 of the DGCL and the Company Board Recommendation. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, or correspondence to the SEC or its staff with respect to, the Preliminary Proxy Statement or the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without providing Parent and Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to all reasonable comments suggested by Parent or Purchaser).

Section 5.4Stockholder Approval. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) for the initial purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such meeting to occur as soon as reasonably practicable. Except as specifically permitted by Section 5.2, the Company Board of Directors shall continue to recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the agreement of merger (as such term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) contained in this Agreement and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from its stockholders the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, the Company shall submit the agreement of merger contained in this Agreement to its stockholders for adoption without regard to whether the Company Board of Directors has withdrawn, modified or qualified, or has publicly proposed to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, the Company Board Recommendation.

40

Section 5.5Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any Legal Proceeding commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions, or with respect to the Company's business or products, (b) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by such party under this Agreement or any occurrence or non-occurrence, as the case may be, that would reasonably be expected to result in such breach (it being understood and agreed that that this clause (b) shall not constitute an obligation or agreement of the Company for purposes of Section 7.2(b)), (c) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions and (d) any notice or other written communication from any Governmental Entity related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereunder. The Company will deliver to Parent true and complete  copies of all comment letters from the SEC received following the date of this Agreement with respect to any of the Company SEC Documents, together with all written responses of the Company thereto, other than with respect to requests for confidential treatment.

ARTICLE VI

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1Access; Confidentiality. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company shall, upon reasonable prior notice, give Parent and Purchaser, their officers and a reasonable number of their employees and their authorized Representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours to the Company Agreements, contracts, books, records, analysis, projections, plans, systems, senior management, commitments, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided or made available to Parent or Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not be required to provide access to, or to disclose information, where such access or disclosure would (a) forfeit the attorney-client privilege of the Company or (b) contravene any applicable Law or contractual restriction; provided, however, that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents or implement such alternative arrangements for the disclosure of such information or documents and take such other action with respect to such information or documents as is necessary to permit disclosure to Parent and its Representatives without such forfeiture or contravention. No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall affect any representation or warranty made by the parties hereunder.

41

Section 6.2Consents and Approvals.

(a)Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the Outside Date, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Entities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, clearances, approvals, authorizations, waiting period expirations or terminations, or orders required to be obtained or made by Parent, Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or avoid any action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (including, without limitation, those in connection with the HSR Act and any other antitrust or competition Law or regulation (the “Required Governmental Approvals”)), in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, (iii) make or cause to be made as promptly as practicable (and with respect to the HSR Act no later than fifteen (15) business days after the date of this Agreement) the applications or filings required to be made by Parent, Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries under or with respect to the HSR Act, any other applicable Required Governmental Approvals or any other applicable Laws in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, (iv) comply at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any request under or with respect to the HSR Act, any other Required Governmental Approvals and any such other applicable Laws for additional information, documents or other materials received by Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity in connection with such applications or filings or the Transactions, and (v) coordinate and cooperate with, and give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by, the other party in connection with, making (A) any filing under or with respect to the HSR Act, any other Required Governmental Approvals or any such other applicable Laws and (B) any filings, conferences or other submissions related to resolving any investigation or other inquiry by any such Governmental Entity. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall take, or cause to be taken (including by its Subsidiaries), any and all steps and to make, or cause to be made (including by its Subsidiaries), any and all undertakings necessary to resolve such objections, if any, that a Governmental Entity may assert under the HSR Act and any other antitrust or competition Law or regulation with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to avoid or eliminate any impediment under any the HSR Act and any other antitrust or competition Law or regulation that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than the Outside Date, including, without limitation, (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, disposition of, lease, license or other transfer of any businesses, tangible and intangible assets, equity interests, product lines or properties of the Company, (y) creating, terminating, or divesting relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of the Company, and (z) otherwise taking or committing to take any action that would limit Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, tangible or intangible assets, equity interests, product lines or properties of the Company, in each case as may be required in order to obtain all expirations or terminations of waiting periods required under the HSR Act or to obtain any other Required Governmental Approvals or to avoid the commencement of any action by a Governmental Entity to prohibit the transactions contemplated by the Agreement under the HSR Act or any other antitrust or competition Law, or, in the alternative, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any action or proceeding seeking to prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or delay the Closing beyond the Outside Date. To assist Parent in complying with its obligations set forth in this Section 6.2(a), the Company shall enter into one or more agreements requested by Parent to be entered into by any of them prior to the Closing with respect to any transaction to divest, hold separate or otherwise take any action that limits the Company’s freedom of action, ownership or control with respect to, or their ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any of the businesses, assets, equity interests, product lines or properties of the Company (each, a “Divestiture Action”); provided, however, that the consummation of the transactions provided for in any such agreement for a Divestiture Action (a “Divestiture Agreement”) shall be conditioned upon the Closing or satisfaction of all of the conditions to Closing in a case where the Closing will occur immediately following such Divestiture Action (and where Parent has irrevocably committed to effect the Closing immediately following such Divestiture Action). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in obtaining the Required Governmental Approvals, none of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be required to agree to or proffer to sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise encumber or impair Parent’s or any of its affiliates’ ability to own or operate any assets or properties of Parent or any of its affiliates (including for the avoidance of doubt, any equity or other interests in the Company) or, except as would not have a material adverse effect on the Company, any assets or properties of the Company (provided that none of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be required to take any such action in connection with any action or proceeding by a Person other than a Governmental Entity).

42

(b)Each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to the other party all information necessary for any application or other filing to be made in connection with the Transactions. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly inform  (and provide copies to) the other of any material communication with, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Governmental Entity regarding any such application or filing and permit the other to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the other in relation thereto). If a party hereto intends to independently participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry, then such party shall give the other party reasonable prior notice of such meeting and invite Representatives of the other party to participate in the meeting or discussion with the Governmental Entity unless prohibited by such Governmental Entity.The parties shall coordinate and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party in connection with all meetings, actions and proceedings under or relating to any such application or filing.

(c)The Company and Parent shall give (and Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use (and Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to use) their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third-party consents necessary to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that, in connection with obtaining such third-party consents, no payment shall be made to any Person, nor shall any Company Agreement be amended to increase the amount payable by the Company or any of its affiliates thereunder or otherwise to be more burdensome in any material respect to the Company or any of its affiliates, unless mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Parent, except for such items as would be de minimis.

43

(d)Subject to the last sentence of Section 6.2(a), if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity challenging the Transactions as violative of any applicable Law, each of the Company and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding that seeks a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction that would prohibit, prevent or restrict consummation of the Transactions. This Section 6.2 does not affect the right of either Parent or Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c) provided such party has complied with all of its obligations in this Section 6.2.

(e)Parent shall vote (or act by written consent with respect to) all of the shares of capital stock of Purchaser beneficially owned by it in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 6.3Publicity. Parent and the Company shall mutually agree on the initial press release or releases with respect to the execution of this Agreement. Thereafter, so long as this Agreement is in effect, neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective affiliates, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement without the prior consent of the other party, unless such party determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national securities exchange or trading market to issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement, in which event such party shall endeavor, on a basis reasonable under the circumstances, to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other party to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement and shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any such review or comment to Parent in connection with the receipt and existence of a Competing Proposal and matters related thereto or a Change of Recommendation; provided further, that the Company shall not be required to provide that each party hereto and their respective controlled affiliates may make statements that are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent and the Company in compliance with this Section 6.3.

Section 6.4Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification.

(a)Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law, under the Company Governing Documents in effect on the date hereof and under any indemnification or other similar agreements in effect on the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreements”) to the individuals covered by such Company Governing Documents or Indemnification Agreements (the “Covered Persons”) arising out of or relating to actions or omissions in their capacity as such occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions.

44

(b)For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of Covered Persons for periods prior to and including the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Governing Documents. The Indemnification Agreements with Covered Persons that survive the Merger shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall guarantee and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.4.

(c)Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of or after the Effective Time to, purchase a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance “tail” or “runoff” insurance program for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to wrongful acts and/or omissions committed or allegedly committed at or prior to the Effective Time (such coverage shall have an aggregate coverage limit over the term of such policy in an amount not to exceed the annual aggregate coverage limit under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability policy, and in all other material respects shall be comparable to such existing coverage); provided, however, that the Company shall not pay, and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay, in excess of 300% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company in respect of such “tail” or “runoff” policy. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” or “runoff” insurance policies prior to, as of or after the Effective Time, Parent shall, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or renewals thereof (provided that Parent may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous) with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 200% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (such 200% amount, the “Base Premium”); provided, further, if such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Base Premium, Parent shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Base Premium.

(d)In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume all of the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 6.4.

(e)The Covered Persons (and their successors and heirs) are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4, and this Section 6.4 shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Covered Persons (including their successors and heirs) or terminated without the consent of the Covered Persons (including their successors and heirs) affected thereby.

45

Section 6.5State Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price” or other anti-takeover laws or regulations enacted under state or federal Laws becomes or is deemed to become applicable to the Company, the Merger or any other Transaction, then the Company Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to render such statute (or the relevant provisions thereof) inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.6Obligations of Purchaser. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.7Employee Benefits Matters.

(a)Effective as of the Effective Time and for a period of no less than twelve (12) months thereafter, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to each employee of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof (the “Continuing Employees”), (i) a base salary rate or regular hourly wage, whichever is applicable, that is not less than the base salary rate or regular hourly wage provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) bonus opportunity, sales and service incentive award compensation opportunity, in each case, at levels provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d)Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any affiliate of Parent, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, (i) to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any affiliate of Parent and the Continuing Employee or any severance, benefit or other applicable plan or program covering such Continuing Employee, or (ii) to amend or terminate any Benefit Plans or other employee benefit plans or arrangements. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.7 shall (x) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Benefit Plan or Purchaser employee benefit plan, or (y) create any third party rights in any current or former service provider of the Company or its affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

(b)Termination Fee.

52

(c)Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the Transactions and that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Purchaser, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent’s right to receive payment of the Termination Fee from the Company shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Purchaser against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members, affiliates or agents for the loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members, affiliates or agents shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release regarding our business that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements reflect our management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance; however, you should not put undue reliance on these statements. When used, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "future," and other similar expressions, without limitation, identify forward-looking statements. These statements include those related to the expected benefits of the Stryker transaction and the expected closing date of the Stryker transaction. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include such factors as: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Stryker acquisition agreement, (2) the failure to obtain approval of our stockholders or the failure to satisfy any of the other closing conditions, (3) risks related to disruption of management's attention from our ongoing business operations due to the Stryker transaction and (4) the effect of the announcement of the Stryker transaction on our ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with our customers, suppliers and others with whom we do business, or on our operating results and business generally. These risks and uncertainties also include but are not limited to: our ability to implement in all hospitals within the larger hospitals organizations with which we have agreements, our ability to implement in those hospitals with which we have scheduled implementations, the early stage of adoption of our Safety-Sponge® System and the need to expand adoption of our Safety-Sponge® System; the impact on our future revenue and cash flows from the ordering patterns of our exclusive distributor Cardinal Health; our need for additional financing to support our business; our reliance on third-party manufacturers, some of whom are sole-source suppliers, and on our exclusive distributor; and any inability to successfully protect our intellectual property portfolio. In light of the risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will in fact prove to be correct.

Forward-looking statements can be affected by many other factors, including, those described in the "Business", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Factors Affecting Future Results" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2012, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our other public filings. These documents are available online through the SEC's website, www.sec.gov.
