Explanatory Note
This 8-K/A filing is being made for the sole purpose of refiling the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Perfumania Holdings, Inc. on December 23, 2011 (the "Original Filing"). As noted in the Original Filing, the Original Filing was filed pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933 and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the "Written communications pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act (17 CFR 230.425)" box on the cover was marked. However, due to an inadvertent error in the filing process, the Original Filing appears twice as a "Form 8-K" and does not also appear as a "Form 425" on the SEC's EDGAR system. The 8-K/A also corrects some minor typographical errors in the Original Filing's exhibit listing. Other than the changes noted above, no other changes or updates have been made to the Original Filing, and this 8-K/A filing restates the Original Filing in its entirety.







Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The Merger Agreement
On December 23, 2011, Perfumania Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Perfumania”), Parlux Fragrances, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parlux”), and PFI Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Perfumania (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for Perfumania's acquisition of Parlux, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of Parlux common stock (other than shares held by Perfumania and its affiliates) will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive either (i) $4.00 in cash plus 0.20 shares of Perfumania common stock (the “Mixed Consideration”) or (ii) .53333 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Perfumania common stock (“Stock Consideration”). Parlux stockholders may elect whether they would prefer to receive Mixed Consideration or Stock Consideration, however, the maximum amount of cash that will be paid is $61,895,288 and the maximum amount of Perfumania common stock that will be paid is 5,919,052 shares, which amounts are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances provided in the Merger Agreement, including to reflect any issuance of Parlux shares due to the exercise of options, to adjust the maximum cash consideration for each share of Parlux stock as to which appraisal rights have been exercised, and for any shortfall of Parlux cash or cash equivalents at the Effective Time below a target amount calculated as provided in the Merger Agreement. As described under “Voting Agreements” below, certain stockholders of Parlux have agreed to elect to receive the Stock Consideration.
Perfumania has agreed to assume the outstanding stock options and warrants held by Parlux employees and a director, subject to adjustments to the number of shares and the exercise price based upon the Stock Consideration exchange ratio and to acceleration of vesting of the options in certain circumstances.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, (i) that the stockholders of both companies have approved the necessary actions, including approval by the Perfumania stockholders of an increase in Perfumania's authorized common stock and of the issuance of shares of Perfumania common stock in connection with the Merger, (ii) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (iii) no event having occurred that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on Parlux or Perfumania and (iv) Parlux stockholders shall have exercised their appraisal rights in connection with the Merger for no more than 7.5% of Parlux's common stock.
During the period beginning on the date of the Merger Agreement and continuing until January 22, 2012 (the “Go-Shop Period”), Parlux may solicit acquisition proposals from third parties and may at any time respond to unsolicited proposals that the Parlux Board of Directors determines are reasonably likely to result in a superior proposal. The merger agreement provides Perfumania a customary right to match any superior proposal.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Parlux and Perfumania. Among other provisions, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either Parlux or Perfumania if the Merger is not consummated by June 30, 2012 or if Parlux's stockholders do not approve the Merger. Perfumania may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Parlux Board fails to recommend that its stockholders approve the Merger (or changes its recommendation), recommends that Parlux stockholders tender their shares in a tender offer, enters into an alternative acquisition agreement, or publicly announces its intent to do any of the foregoing. Parlux may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Parlux Board changes its recommendation that its stockholders approve the Merger or decides to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement in compliance with the Merger Agreement, if the stockholders of Perfumania do not approve the increase in its authorized common stock and the issuance of shares



as Merger consideration, upon breach of the representations and covenants related to the financing of the transaction or if all conditions to closing are satisfied and Perfumania does not proceed to closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of Parlux's entry into an alternative acquisition agreement relating to a Superior Proposal, the Parlux Board's failure to recommend that its stockholders approve the Merger (or change in such recommendation) or public announcement of its intent to do any of the foregoing during the Go-Shop Period, then Parlux will pay Perfumania a termination fee of $2 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated for any of those reasons following the Go Shop Period, Parlux will pay Perfumania a termination fee of $4 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of the failure of the Perfumania stockholders to approve the necessary increase in authorized capital stock and the issuance of shares as merger consideration, the failure of Perfumania to provide the merger consideration or a breach of Perfumania's representations or covenants relating to financing, Perfumania will pay Parlux a termination fee of $4 million and up to $2 million in Parlux's out-of-pocket expenses.
In the Merger Agreement, each of Parlux and Perfumania makes customary representations and warranties regarding the state of its operations and financial condition, which representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of Perfumania and Parlux, as applicable. In addition, such representations and warranties (a) have been made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement, (b) have been qualified by confidential disclosures made to each of Parlux and Perfumania in connection with the Merger Agreement, (c) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (d) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement and (e) have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the contracting parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding Parlux, Perfumania or their respective businesses. Investors should not rely on the representations and warranties or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Parlux or Perfumania or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. 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 either company's public disclosures. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding Parlux and Perfumania that is or will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the respective Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, proxy statements and other documents that each of Parlux or Perfumania files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement is qualified in all respects by the full text of the Merger Agreement which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.


Financing Arrangements
Perfumania will obtain financing for the cash portion of the merger consideration from two sources.
First, effective December 23, 2011, Perfumania and its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement and Consent, which amends its existing senior, secured revolving credit facility dated as of January 7, 2011, with a syndicate of banks for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serves as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Swing Line Lender (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The amendment permits Perfumania to use borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility of up to $32 million (which amount would be reduced to the extent that cash and cash equivalents held by Parlux at the closing of the merger are less than $15 million) to fund a portion of the merger consideration and up to $11 million to fund costs of the merger and related transactions. At the closing of the merger Perfumania is required to apply all cash and cash equivalents held by Parlux to repayment of the Senior Credit Facility and to ensure that Parlux's existing bank credit facility is terminated. In addition, the Senior Credit Facility was amended to permit the additional borrowing from the



Nussdorf Trusts described below and to add the new domestic subsidiaries Perfumania acquires in the merger as “Borrowers.” Amendment No.1 to Credit Agreement and Consent is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Second, effective December 23, 2011, Perfumania's subsidiary, Model Reorg Acquisition LLC, received commitments from certain family trusts of Stephen Nussdorf, Glenn Nussdorf, and Arlene Nussdorf, who are principal shareholders of Perfumania (the “Nussdorf Trusts”) to make a total of $30 million in new loans to finance the balance of the cash consideration. The new loans will be subordinated to the Senior Credit Facility on the same basis as the existing indebtedness to the Nussdorf Trusts.     

Voting Agreements
Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Perfumania entered into voting agreements with holders of an aggregate of approximately 24.6% of Parlux's outstanding common shares pursuant to which they agreed that they will vote their shares of Parlux common stock (i) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) against any proposal made in opposition to or competition with the Merger Agreement or that would impede, interfere with, delay or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the Merger. Those stockholders also agreed to elect to receive the Stock Consideration for all their shares of Parlux common stock.
Also simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parlux entered into a voting agreement with the beneficial owners of approximately 82% of Perfumania's common stock pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares of Perfumania common stock (i) in favor of the increase in authorized shares of Perfumania and the issuance of shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (ii) against any proposal that is in opposition to or competition with the Merger Agreement or that would impede, interfere with, delay or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the Merger.
In addition, simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the directors and certain of the officers of Parlux holding approximately 5.6% of the outstanding shares of Parlux common stock, including its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, each entered into a voting agreement with Perfumania pursuant to which each officer and director agreed that he or she will vote his or her shares of Parlux common stock (i) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and (ii) against any proposal made in opposition to or competition with the Merger Agreement or that would impede, interfere with, delay or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the Merger.
Each of the Voting Agreements described above expires upon the earliest of consummation of the Merger, termination of the Merger Agreement or, in the case of the Voting Agreements regarding Parlux shares, a change of recommendation by the Parlux Board of Directors.
The foregoing summaries of the Voting Agreements are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Voting Agreements, copies or forms of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.2 - 10.5.


Other Agreements
Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parlux entered into an agreement (the “Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of certain warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Parlux common stock (the “Licensor Warrants”) to amend such warrants to provide, among other things, that each Licensor Warrant outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time will be automatically converted into a fully-vested warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock of Perfumania equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (x) the number of shares of Parlux common stock subject to such Licensor Warrant and (y) .53333, at an exercise price per share equal to $8.00 per share of Perfumania common stock. The Warrant Amendment also provides for certain registration rights with respect to the underlying warrant shares and the Licensor Shares described below. The Warrant Amendment will only be effective if the Merger is consummated.



In connection with the Merger Agreement, Parlux, Artistic Brands Development, LLC (“Artistic Brands”) and Rene Garcia entered into an amendment to their Letter Agreement dated April 3, 2009 (the “Letter Agreement”) providing that the Merger will not be a “Fundamental Transaction” under the terms of the Letter Agreement, which would have required the payment by Parlux of certain additional sums to Artistic Brands and Mr. Garcia at the Effective Time.
Perfumania, Parlux, Artistic Brands and Mr. Garcia also entered into a Letter Agreement, dated December 23, 2011 (the “Proposal Agreement”) providing that Artistic Brands and Mr. Garcia will not solicit or negotiate with parties other than Perfumania in connection with the treatment of the Licensor Warrants or the Letter Agreement. However, in the event that, consistent with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, Parlux engages in discussions or negotiations with a third party regarding an alternative acquisition proposal or enters into an agreement relating to a Superior Proposal, then Mr. Garcia and Artistic Brands may enter into discussions or negotiations with such third party with regard to the treatment of the Licensor Warrants and/or the Letter Agreement in connection with such acquisition proposal. The parties to the Proposal Agreement also acknowledged that Artistic Brands and S. Carter Enterprises, LLC have agreed to enter into a license agreement and Artistic Brands, Perfumania and S. Carter Enterprises have agreed to enter into a sublicense agreement, both to be effective upon the consummation of the Merger, and subject to certain closing conditions contained in the Proposal Agreement. The Proposal Agreement also provides for the issuance to Artistic Brands or its designee of 300,000 shares of Perfumania common stock (the “Licensor Shares”) after the Effective Time as consideration for the transactions contemplated in the Proposal Agreement. The Licensor Shares will be entitled to the same registration rights as the shares underlying the Licensor Warrants.
On December 23, 2011, Perfumania, Mr. Garcia and certain persons and trusts related to Mr. Garcia (the “Garcia Entities”) entered into a Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement provides that, commencing upon the consummation of the Merger and until either December 23, 2015, or until Glenn Nussdorf, Stephen Nussdorf and Arlene Nussdorf and trusts related to them cease to own at least one third of the outstanding Perfumania stock (the “Term”), the Garcia Entities will not vote any of their shares of Perfumania stock (and all Perfumania stock that they later acquire) in favor of certain matters if the Perfumania board has recommended a vote against that matter. These matters include, among other things, (i) certain merger, reorganization, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving Perfumania constituting more than 50% or more of its assets, revenues or earnings, (ii) an acquisition of more than 50% of Perfumania's consolidated assets or 50% of Perfumania's outstanding common stock, (iii) the issuance of Perfumania common stock that after giving effect to that issuance represents more than 50% of Perfumania's outstanding common stock, or (iv) a tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any person or group beneficially owning more than 50% of the Perfumania's outstanding common stock, other than the Nussdorfs. The Garcia Entities also agree in the Stockholders Agreement that during the Term they will not vote for any director unless the director is recommended by Perfumania's board. The Stockholders Agreement also restricts the Garcia Entities' ability to enter into voting agreements or transfer their shares of Perfumania common stock, subject to certain exceptions. Under the Stockholders Agreement the Garcia Entities also agree to not seek to acquire ownership of more than 28% of Perfumania common stock, engage in a solicitation of proxies or a proxy contest, seek to control Perfumania's management, nominate directors not nominated by Perfumania's then-incumbent directors or join a group or announce their intent to do any of the foregoing during the Term, unless approved by the Board of Directors.


Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 23, 2011, the Board of Directors of Perfumania approved an amendment to Perfumania's Amended and Restated bylaws, effective immediately upon adoption. The amendment provides that Perfumania may authorize the issuance without certificates of some or all of the shares of any or all of the classes or series of stock that Perfumania is authorized to issue. A copy of the Restated bylaws showing the changes is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1.

2.7 Conversion of Securities.
(a) Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.7(b) and the other provisions of this Agreement, each share of the common stock of Company, $.01 par value (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time



(excluding any Excluded Shares and any Appraisal Shares) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive the following consideration (the “Merger Consideration”):
(i)    Each share of Company Common Stock (excluding any Excluded Shares) with respect to which an election to receive a combination of stock and cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.7(c) (each, a “Mixed Consideration Election Share”) and each Non-Election Share, as defined in Section 2.7(c), shall be converted into the right to receive the combination (such combination, the “Per Share Mixed Consideration”) of (x) $4.00 in cash or such lesser amount of cash based on the adjustments in Section 2.7(b) (the “Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount”) and (y) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.9(e)) equal to Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio.
(ii)    If the Available Stock Election Amount equals or exceeds the Stock Election Amount, then each share of Company Common Stock (including any Company Restricted Stock, but excluding any Excluded Shares) with respect to which an election to receive stock consideration is properly made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.7(c) (each, a “Stock Election Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.9(e) (the “Per Share Stock Election Consideration”)), equal to the Exchange Ratio. If the Stock Election Amount exceeds the Available Stock Election Amount (such excess being herein referred to as the “Excess Shares”), then each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive (1) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (w) the Available Stock Election Amount divided by (x) the number of Stock Election Shares, rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share, and (2) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to (y) the product of the Excess Shares and the Parent Share Value, divided by (z) the number of Stock Election Shares.
(b) Election and Consideration Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following adjustments to elections and form of Merger Consideration shall occur if applicable, provided that in each case, the sum of (x) the Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount and (y) the product of the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio and the Parent Share Value shall at all times equal (z) the Per Share Cash Consideration.
(i)    The parties agree that as of the Effective Time, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by Company shall be at least $15,000,000, calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Section 2.7(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Target”) and subject to the adjustment set forth in Section 5.11, if applicable. To the extent that the Company has less than the Target



as of the Effective Time, the Maximum Cash Consideration shall be adjusted downward, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, equal to the difference between the Target and the actual cash and cash equivalent amount on hand at the Effective Time (the “Difference”), and the Maximum Stock Consideration shall be increased by a number of shares of Parent Stock equal to (y) the Difference divided by (z) the Parent Share Value. The Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount shall be decreased by an amount equal to (A) the Difference divided by (B) the sum of the Mixed Consideration Election Shares and the Non-Election Shares, and the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio shall be increased by an amount equal to (C) the Difference divided by the Parent Share Value divided by (D) the sum of the Mixed Consideration Election Shares and Non-Election Shares; and
(ii)    The parties further agree that the Maximum Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the Per Share Cash Consideration for each Appraisal Share that has exercised and not withdrawn such exercise at or prior to the Effective Time. The Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount shall be decreased by an amount equal to (y) the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of Appraisal Shares (such product, the “Appraisal Cash Adjustment”) divided by (z) the sum of the Mixed Consideration Election Shares and the Non-Election Shares, and the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio shall be increased by an amount equal to (A) the Appraisal Cash Adjustment divided by the Parent Share Value divided by (B) the sum of the Mixed Consideration Election Shares and Non-Election Shares. Such adjustment to the Maximum Cash Consideration shall not be impacted by any subsequent appraisal proceedings, including any failure to perfect, withdrawal, forfeiture or loss of appraisal rights, for the Appraisal Shares after the Effective Time, and all Appraisal Shares shall continue to be treated in accordance with Section 2.12 of this Agreement; and
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything set forth above, if and to the minimum extent necessary to accomplish the Tax-Free Reorganization, the Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount shall be decreased, and the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly increased.
(iv)    At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate as to the cash and cash equivalents held by the Company on the Closing Date calculated in accordance with Section 2.7(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and certified as true and correct by its Chief Executive Offer or Chief Financial Officer (the “Target Closing Certificate”). At the Closing, upon delivery of the Target Closing Certificate, Parent and Company shall jointly calculate the adjustments set forth in Sections 2.7(b)(i) and (ii). Such adjustments shall be reflected in the instructions to be provided by Parent to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.9.
(c) Election Procedures.
(i)    An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal



materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to any certificate (a “Certificate”) theretofore representing shares of Company Common Stock or non-certificated shares represented by book entry (“Book Entry Shares”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares, respectively, to the Exchange Agent), in such form as Parent shall specify and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Election Form”), shall be mailed together or contemporaneously with the Joint Proxy Statement (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock as of the close of business on the record date for notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting (the “Election Form Record Date”).
(ii)    Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions), other than any holder of any Excluded Shares or any Appraisal Shares, to specify (A) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Mixed Consideration, (B) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, or (C) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s Company Common Stock (“Non-Election Shares”). Any Company Common Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the 30th day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as the Company and Parent shall agree) (the “Election Deadline”) (other than any shares of Company Common Stock that constitute Appraisal Shares as of such time) shall also be deemed to be Non-Election Shares.
(iii)    Parent shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all Persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Company Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline, and the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.
(iv)    Any election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. If an Election Form purports to make an election for a certificated Share of Company Common Stock or Book Entry Shares, then an Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only (A) if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and, if required by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate) and/or (B) upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent or such other evidence of transfer of Book Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent as the Exchange Agent may reasonably



request, collectively representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Non-Election Shares and Parent shall cause the Certificates representing such shares of Company Common Stock or Book Entry Shares to be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Election Form, except to the extent (if any) a subsequent election is properly made with respect to any or all of such shares of Company Common Stock. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, Parent shall have sole discretion, which it may delegate in whole or in part to the Exchange Agent, to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith reasonable decisions of Parent (or the Exchange Agent, if so empowered) regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form. Elections will be deemed to be revoked if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
(d) Cancellation of Shares. Shares of Company Common Stock, when converted in accordance with Section 2.7(a), shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Book Entry Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive in respect of each share of Company Common Stock previously represented thereby (i) the consideration set forth in Section 2.7(a), (ii) any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.9(c), and (iii) any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.9(e), in each case without interest, and in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificate or Book Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.9.
(e) Treasury Stock; Excluded Shares. All shares of Company Common Stock held by Company as treasury shares or by Parent or Merger Sub or by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable therefor (all such shares, the “Excluded Shares”).
(f) Merger Sub Stock. Each outstanding share of the capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into an outstanding share of Surviving Corporation owned by Parent.
2.8 Company Stock Options and Company Warrants.
(a) Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option will cease to represent an option to purchase Company Common Stock and will be converted automatically into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a



New Parent Stock Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option and (B) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price of such Company Stock Option divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio. At the Effective Time, the vesting schedule of each Company Stock Option converted into a New Parent Stock Option shall be accelerated by one year. Unless otherwise provided for under the terms of any existing executive employment agreements to which a holder of Company Stock Options or New Parent Stock Options shall be a party, the New Parent Stock Options shall immediately vest upon termination of the holder’s employment by Surviving Corporation within one year of the Effective Time other than for Cause or by the holder without Good Reason and be exercisable for ninety days post-termination. Except as set forth above, each New Parent Stock Option shall otherwise continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(b) Company Warrants. At the Effective Time,
(i)    each outstanding and unexercised Gopman Warrant will cease to represent a warrant to purchase Company Common Stock and will be converted automatically into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Parent Warrant”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Gopman Warrant and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price of such Gopman Warrant divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio; and
(ii)    each outstanding and unexercised Licensor Warrant will cease to represent a warrant to purchase Company Common Stock and will be converted automatically into a fully-vested Parent Warrant to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Licensor Warrant and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to $8.00 (the “Licensor Warrant Consideration”).
Subject to the Licensor Warrant Amendment, except as set forth above, each Parent Warrant shall otherwise continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(c) Registration. With respect to the shares underlying the Company Stock Options, Parent shall take commercially reasonable steps to become a “successor issuer” on any existing registration statement filed by the Company with respect thereto or to file a registration statement on Form S-8 to register such shares as promptly following the Effective Time as possible in compliance with applicable terms and requirements related thereto.
2.9 Exchange of Company Common Stock.
(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause



to be deposited, with the Company’s transfer agent or a bank or trust company designated by Parent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this ARTICLE 2, through the Exchange Agent, sufficient cash and Parent Common Stock to make pursuant to this ARTICLE 2 all deliveries of cash and Parent Common Stock as required by this ARTICLE 2, including the Merger Consideration. Parent agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.9(c) and to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.9(e). Any cash and Parent Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent (including as payment for any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.9(c) and fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.9(e)) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock or payments due to holders of Company Stock Options. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.
(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of an outstanding Certificate or Book Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of Company Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the corresponding Certificates to the Exchange Agent or receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” with respect to Book Entry Shares, and shall be in customary form as directed by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented thereby. Promptly after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Certificates or Book Entry Shares for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letters of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holders of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares and the holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares who previously surrendered Certificates or Book Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent with properly completed and duly executed Election Forms shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon completion of the calculations required by Section 2.7, (A) shares of Parent Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.7 (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock then held by such holder) and (B) a check in the amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.7, dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.9(c) and cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.9(e). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock may be paid to a transferee if the



Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the delivery of the Merger Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not payable.
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Company Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book Entry Share with respect to the Parent Common Stock that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Certificate or Book Entry Share and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any such holder until such holder shall surrender such Certificate or Book Entry Share in accordance with this Section 2.9. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book Entry Share, there shall be paid to such holder of Parent Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash due pursuant to Section 2.7 and cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.9(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such holder’s whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such holder’s whole shares of Parent Common Stock.
(d) Further Rights in Company Common Shares. The Merger Consideration issued upon conversion of a share of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.9(c) or Section 2.9(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such share of Company Common Stock.
(e) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip or Parent Common Stock representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or book entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book Entry Shares, no dividend or other distribution, stock split or interest shall relate to any such fractional share and such fractional share shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights as a holder of any Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged in the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates and Book Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount, rounded to the nearest whole cent, equal to the product of (i) the Parent Share Value and (ii) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock that such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof.
(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock after one hundred eighty (180) days



following the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand and, from and after such delivery to Parent, any former holders of Company Common Stock (other than Appraisal Shares) who have not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE 2 shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, thereupon become the property of Parent free and clear of any Liens, claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(g) No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official or Governmental Entity in the reasonable belief that such delivery was required pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed in form and substance acceptable to Parent and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate.
(i) Withholding. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any provision of state, local, or foreign Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.
(j) Book Entry. All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger shall be issued in book entry form, without physical certificates.
2.10 Certain Adjustments. If, after the date of this Agreement and at or prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares or type of securities by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, stock split, subdivision, combination or exchange of shares, or any dividend payable in stock or other securities is declared thereon or rights issued in respect thereof with a record date within such period, or any similar event occurs (any such action, an “Adjustment Event”), the Merger Consideration will be adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Warrants and Company Stock Options the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such Adjustment Event.



2.11 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. At the close of business on the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of Company, except for the cancellation of such shares in connection with the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Common Stock 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.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, (i) the Company Board may make a Change of Recommendation or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, as applicable, if the Company Board with respect to an Acquisition Proposal has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (A) there is a reasonable probability that the failure to do so would cause the Company Board to violate its fiduciary duties to the Company Shareholders under applicable Law and (B) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (ii) if an event, fact, circumstance, development or occurrence that affects, or would reasonably be expected to affect, the business, assets, operations or results of operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries and that has not occurred or is unknown to the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement (an “Intervening Event”) occurs or becomes known to the Company Board, the Company Board may effect a Change of Recommendation; provided that the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that there is a reasonable probability that the failure to do so would cause the Company Board to violate its fiduciary duties to the Company Shareholders under applicable Law, provided that (W) Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent at least three (3) days in advance (the “Notice Period”) of its intention to take such action and provided the reasons for the Change of Recommendation described in either (i) or (ii) and, if related to a Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the person making the Superior Proposal and the ultimate beneficial owner or owners and controlling persons thereof, to the extent such information is reasonably available to Company), (X) in the case of a Superior Proposal, prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation, or, approving or recommending such Superior Proposal or terminating this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to enable Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Financing Letter, the Related Person Investment Commitment, the Letter Amendment and the Licensor Warrant Amendment, as would alleviate the need for a Change of Recommendation, or such approval, recommendation or termination, (Y) in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement, the Financing Letter, the Related Person Investment Commitment, the Letter Amendment or the Licensor Warrant Amendment offered in writing by Parent and shall have determined that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes were to be given effect and (Z) in the case of a Superior Proposal, prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation or entering into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, Company shall have terminated this Agreement and paid to Parent any Termination Fee payable with respect to such termination in



accordance with the terms hereof. Any material amendment to the material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and Notice Period, and Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of these subclauses (W) through (Z).
(f) Company agrees that it will keep the Parent reasonably informed regarding the matters contemplated by this Section 5.3 (including any Acquisition Proposals). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by Company or its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such offer or proposal, 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, on a prompt basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in Company’s intentions as previously notified and (ii) following the No-Shop Period Start Date, Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) notify the Parent if any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, Company or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the person or group of Persons and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in Company’s intentions as previously notified, in each case pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.
(g) Other than with respect to the Financing Letter, the Letter Amendment, the Licensor Warrant Amendment or the Related Person Investment Commitment or as contemplated by this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall make or enter into any formal or informal arrangements or understandings (whether or not binding) with any Person, or have any discussions or other communications with any other person, in any such case with respect to any Acquisition Proposal involving Company.
(h) Nothing in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit Company, Company Board or any committee thereof from (i) taking and disclosing to Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law, it being understood that neither any “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, nor any accurate disclosure of factual information to the Company Shareholders that is required to be made to such stockholders under applicable Law or in satisfaction of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties or applicable Law, shall be deemed a modification of the Company Board’s approval or recommendation of the Merger and this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” policies with the same terms, conditions and coverage as indicated above have been obtained by the Surviving Corporation for purposes of this



Section 5.9 from carriers with the same or better rating as the carrier of such insurances as of the date of this Agreement.
(c) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any Indemnitee may have under Company Charter Documents, by contract or otherwise.

(b) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, provided the Second Merger occurs, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall report the Merger, taken together with the Second Merger, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

5.16 Employee Matters.
(a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to employees of the Company and its Company Subsidiaries employed immediately prior to the Effective Time (and their dependents) (the “Company Employees”) and former employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries terminated prior to the Effective Time, the compensation and benefits required by applicable Law or pursuant to vested benefits under any Company Benefit Plan; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Parent or the Surviving Corporation from terminating the employment of any Company Employee.

After such twelve (12) month period, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to enroll the Company Employees in and receive benefits under the Buyer Plans to the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the consummation of the Offer will constitute a “Change in Control”, “Change of Control” or “Terminating Event” (as applicable) under the Company Benefit Plans.
(c) With respect to any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries (including any vacation, paid time off and severance plans) in which Company Employees participate on or after the Effective Time (“Buyer Plans”), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, benefit accruals (other than for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan) and vesting (other than for purposes of any equity-based compensation), each Company Employee’s service with the Company or a Company Subsidiary (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or the Company Subsidiary to the extent service with such predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or the Company Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent its application



would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries terminates any or all of the Company Benefit Plans during the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Effective Time, each Company Employee shall participate in a Buyer Plan substantially comparable to the terminated Company Benefit Plan.
(d) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitation, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Benefit Plans) in which the Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.16 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Employee), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision "amends" such Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan. This shall not prevent the parties entitled to enforce this Agreement from enforcing any provision in this Agreement, but no other party shall be entitled to enforce any provision in this Agreement on the grounds that it is an amendment to such Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan. If a party not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings a lawsuit or other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to such Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan and that provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as one in this Agreement, that provision shall lapse retroactively as of its inception, thereby precluding it from having any amendatory effect.

Special meetings of the shareholders shall be held if called by the Board of Directors, the President, or if the holders of not less than 10 percent of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting sign, date, and deliver to the Secretary one or more written demands for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held.
Section 4.     Conduct of Meetings. The Chairman of the Board (or in his absence, the President or such other designee of the Chairman of the Board) shall preside at the annual



and special meetings of shareholders and shall be given full discretion in establishing the rules and procedures to be followed in conducting the meetings, except as otherwise provided by law or in these Bylaws.
Section 5.     Notice and Waiver of Notice. Except as otherwise provided by law, written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the day of the meeting, either personally or by first-class mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such 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 he delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If a meeting is adjourned to another time and/or place, and if an announcement of the adjourned time and/or place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting unless the Board of Directors, after adjournment, fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether signed before, during or after the time of the meeting stated therein, and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. 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. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of (a) lack of or defective notice of such meeting, unless the person objects at the beginning to the holding of the meeting or the transacting of any business at the meeting, or (b) lack of 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 such matter when it is presented.
Section 6.     Business of Special Meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice thereof.
Section 7.     Quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of these shares exists with respect to that matter. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of incorporation or by law, 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 (1/3) 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.
Section 8.     Voting Per Share. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by law, each shareholder is entitled to one (1) vote for each outstanding share held by him on each matter voted at a shareholders’ meeting.
Section 9.     Voting of Shares. A shareholder may vote at any meeting of shareholders of the 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 such corporate shareholder or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person or persons as the board of directors of the corporate shareholder may designate. In the absence of any such designation, or, in 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, in that order, shall be presumed to be fully authorized to vote such shares. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, personal representative, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name or the name of his nominee. Shares held by or under the control of a receiver, a trustee in bankruptcy proceedings, or an assignee for the benefit of creditors may be voted by such person without the transfer thereof into his 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 respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary of the 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, his act binds all; (b) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one vote, 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.
Section 10.     Proxies. Any shareholder of the Corporation, other person entitled to vote on behalf of a shareholder pursuant to law, or attorney-in-fact for such persons may vote the shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy. Any shareholder of the Corporation may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for him by signing an appointment form, either personally or by his 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 the Corporation or such other officer or agent which is authorized to tabulate votes, and shall be valid for up to 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 the 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 authority under the appointment. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment is coupled with an interest.
Section 11.     Shareholder List. After fixing a record date for a meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of the meeting, arranged by voting group with the address of, and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held by each. 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 the 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 the Corporation’s transfer agent or registrar. Any shareholder of the Corporation or his agent or attorney is entitled on written demand to inspect the shareholders’ list (subject to the requirements of law), during regular business hours and at his expense, during the period it is available for inspection. The Corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting of shareholders, and any shareholder or his agent or attorney is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment.
Section 12.     Action Without Meeting. Any action required by law to be taken at a meeting of shareholders, or any action that may be taken at a meeting of shareholders, may be taken without a meeting or notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted with respect to the subject matter thereof, and such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote of shareholders taken at such a meeting.
Section 13.     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 entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purposes, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) days, and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which the notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolutions of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders. When a



determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section 13, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or as required by law.
Section 14.     Inspectors and Judges. The Board of Directors in advance of any meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election or judges of the vote, as the case may be, to act at the meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof. If any inspector or inspectors, or judge or judges, are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors or judges. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector or judge fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting, or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. The inspectors or judges, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots and consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes, ballots and consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors or judge or judges, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by him or them, and execute a certificate of any fact found by him or them.
Section 15.     Voting for Directors. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, 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.
ARTICLE THREE
DIRECTORS
Section 1.     Number, Election and Term. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time, within the limits specified by the Articles of Incorporation, by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, however, no director’s term shall be shortened by reason of a resolution reducing the number of directors. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article, and each director elected shall hold office for the term for which he is elected and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation, removal from office or death. Directors must be natural persons who are 18 years of age or older but need not be residents of the State of Florida, shareholders of the Corporation or citizens of the United States. Any director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, at a special meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose.
Section 2.     Vacancies. A director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Corporation, the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board. Such resignation shall take effect 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 they provide that the successor does not take office until the effective date. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors and any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the size of the Board of Directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the current directors though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or may be filled by an election at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose, unless otherwise provided by law. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office, or until the next election of one or more directors by shareholders if the vacancy is caused by an increase in the number of directors.

Written notice of special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director at least forty-eight (48) hours before the meeting. Except as required by statute, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. Notices to directors shall be in writing and delivered personally or mailed to the directors at their addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be received. Notice to directors may also be given by telegram, teletype or other form of electronic communication. Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to any director who signs a written waiver of notice before, during or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and a 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.
Section 8.     Quorum; Required Vote; Presumption of Assent. A majority of the number of directors fixed by, or in the manner provided in, 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 a 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 director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken, unless he objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting specific business at the meeting, or he votes against or abstains from the action taken.
Section 9.     Action Without 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 taken, is signed by all of the members of the Board of Directors or the committee, as the case may be, and such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting. Action taken under this section is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A consent signed under this Section 9 shall have the effect of a meeting vote and say be described as such in any document.
Section 10.     Conference Telephone or Similar Communications Equipment Meetings. Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time.

Vacancies in the membership of a committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors at a regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors. The executive committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required. The designation of any such committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or him by law.
Section 12.     Compensation of Directors. The directors say be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director.

and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.
Section 13.     Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, choose a chairman of the board who shall preside at meetings of the shareholders and of the directors and shall be an ex officio member of all standing committees.

PERFUMANIA HOLDINGS, INC. AND PARLUX FRAGRANCES, INC. ANNOUNCE PROPOSED MERGER
BELLPORT, NY and FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, December 23, 2011 – Perfumania Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PERF) and Parlux Fragrances, Inc. (NASDAQ:PARL) announced today that they have signed a definitive merger agreement under which Perfumania would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Parlux in a transaction valued at approximately $170 million, based on Perfumania’s closing stock price of $19.55 per share on December 22, 2011. Based on that Perfumania stock price and depending on the stockholder elections described below, the merger agreement values a share of Parlux stock at between $7.91 and $8.55, assuming no adjustments under the merger agreement other than such elections. Parlux’s closing market price on December 22, 2011 was $3.40 per share, and there were 20,769,362 shares of Parlux common stock outstanding on that date. Parlux stockholders will be entitled to elect between mixed stock and cash consideration and principally stock consideration under the merger agreement. The actual value of the per-share merger consideration payable to a stockholder will vary based upon the market price of Perfumania’s stock when the merger closes, as well as the stockholders’ elections and adjustments provided for in the merger agreement.
Perfumania is a national, vertically integrated wholesale distributor and specialty retailer of designer perfumes and fragrances. Parlux is a manufacturer and international distributor of prestige fragrances and beauty related products and is one of Perfumania’s largest trading partners. This strategic transaction, which is expected to create a more efficient and competitive company that would provide greater value to stockholders and better service to the parties’ customers, has been unanimously approved by the independent committees of the Boards of Directors of both companies. It is subject to customary closing conditions, including Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance and approval of the stockholders of both companies, but is not subject to any financing condition. The merger is expected to close in the first half of 2012.
Mike Katz, Perfumania’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The combination of Perfumania and Parlux is a major step toward building a more significant and financially stronger designer fragrance and beauty products company. Parlux brings a wealth of products and expertise as a licensee, manufacturer and international distributor.”
Fred Purches, Parlux’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Parlux management team and Board of Directors are focused on maximizing value for stockholders. This combination achieves that objective by providing our shareholders with a significant premium over the current trading price for their shares as well as the ability to participate in the anticipated growth of a significantly stronger, combined company that is well positioned to deliver long-term value to stockholders and a broader range of product to its valued customers.”
The definitive agreement was reached after extensive negotiations between special committees of



independent Board members of both companies, which retained independent financial advisors. Under the merger agreement, Parlux stockholders may elect to receive, for each share of Parlux common stock that they own, either (i) $4.00 in cash plus 0.20 shares of Perfumania common stock or (ii) .53333 shares of Perfumania common stock, both of which are subject to certain adjustments in the merger agreement. The maximum amount of cash that will be paid as merger consideration is $61,895,288, and the maximum number of Perfumania shares issuable in the merger is 5,919,052, which amounts are subject to adjustments in certain circumstances as provided in the merger agreement. If Parlux stockholders elect, in the aggregate, to receive more Perfumania shares than the maximum, those who elected to receive all shares will receive a proportionate amount of the maximum available Perfumania shares plus cash for the shares elected but not received.
Financing for the cash portion of the merger consideration and transaction-related expenses is expected to be provided by a combination of additional borrowing of up to $43 million under Perfumania’s senior secured credit facility and, on a subordinated basis, of $30 million from family trusts of the Nussdorf family.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Parlux may solicit acquisition proposals from third parties for 30 days from the date of the merger agreement and may at any time respond to unsolicited proposals that the Parlux Board of Directors determines are reasonably likely to result in a superior proposal. The merger agreement provides Perfumania a customary right to match any superior proposal.
Following the merger, the Nussdorf family, members of which are the beneficial owners of approximately 82% of Perfumania’s outstanding shares and 11% of Parlux’s outstanding shares, are expected to continue to own a majority of Perfumania’s outstanding shares.
Wells Fargo Securities acted as financial advisor to Perfumania’s management, while Financo Securities, LLC acted as financial advisor to the special committee of Perfumania’s Board of Directors. Edwards Wildman Palmer LLP and Carlton Fields are legal counsel to Perfumania and its special committee, respectively. Financial advisor to the special committee of Parlux’s Board of Directors was Peter J. Solomon Company, and American Appraisal Associates, Inc. rendered a fairness opinion to the special committee.
