Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 28, 2011, Spectrum Control, Inc. (the “Company” or “Spectrum”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with API Technologies, Corp. (“API”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of API (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and upon the terms and subject to conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of API (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company, other than shares owned by the Company, API or Merger Sub will be automatically converted into the right to receive $20.00 in cash, without interest (the “merger consideration”). Each outstanding stock option of the Company will vest in full and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the number of shares underlying such option multiplied by (ii) the excess (if any) of the merger consideration, without interest, over the exercise price per share of such option.

The Merger Agreement contains a “go-shop” provision pursuant to which the Company and its representatives may solicit, provide information to, and engage in discussions with third parties with respect to alternative acquisition proposals for a 40-day period beginning on the date of the Merger Agreement. After the 40-day “go-shop” period, the Company and its representatives will be subject to “no-shop” restrictions on their ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals, provide information and engage in discussions with third parties. None of the “no-shop” restrictions will apply for a 20-day period following the 40-day “go-shop” period with respect to any person or persons (any such person, an “Excluded Party”) from whom the Company received a written acquisition proposal during the “go-shop” period, if the Company’s board of directors (the “Company Board”) determines in good faith such person’s acquisition proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (defined below) or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal. If the Company and any Excluded Party do not enter into a definitive agreement during such 20-day period following the 40-day “go-shop” period, such person shall cease to be an “Excluded Party” for purposes of the Merger Agreement. In addition, until the required shareholder approval has been obtained, the restrictions on the Company’s ability to provide information and engage in discussions with third parties during the “no-shop” period shall not apply to persons from which the Company has received a bona fide acquisition proposal not solicited in breach of the Merger Agreement if the Company Board determines in good faith such person’s alternative proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and the failure to provide such information or engage in discussions would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary obligations under applicable law.

The Company Board has unanimously recommended that shareholders adopt the Merger Agreement. The Company Board may, prior to the time shareholder approval is obtained, make a change in its recommendation in favor of such adoption with respect to the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach of the Merger Agreement, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that (i) such acquisition proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (ii) the failure to effect such change in recommendation and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the shareholders. A “Superior Proposal” means a written acquisition proposal, not the result of a breach of the Merger Agreement and, the definitive agreement for which is not subject to a financing contingency, that the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into consideration all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such acquisition proposal (including the person making such acquisition proposal), as well as the impact of the acquisition proposal on the Company’s employees, suppliers, customers and creditors and the communities in which the company is located, that is more favorable to the Company and the shareholders than the Merger, and if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s shareholders, than the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement (taking into consideration the conditionality and likelihood of consummation of such acquisition proposal) and, if consummated, would result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company’s shareholders from a financial point of view). The Company must provide API with at least four business days advance written notice (the “Notice Period”), advising API of the Company Board’s intention to change its recommendation to the Company’s shareholders and to terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, provide API in writing the material terms and conditions of a Superior Proposal and a copy of the relevant proposed transaction documents with the party making the Superior Proposal, the identity of the party making such proposal and a copy of other material documents, and must discuss and negotiate in good faith with API to the extent API wishes to do so, any proposed changes by API to the terms of the Merger Agreement as to permit the Company Board not to effect a change of its recommendation to the Company’s shareholders or to terminate the Merger Agreement in response to a Superior Proposal. In addition, following the Notice Period, and taking into account any revised proposal made by API since the commencement of the Notice Period, the Company Board must then again determine in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that the Company Board is required to change its recommendation to the Company’s shareholders in the exercise of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders, and if in connection with a Superior Proposal, the Company must deliver to API an additional notice, which must comply with the information provided in any prior notice.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and API. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination under specified circumstances, the Company would be required to pay API a termination fee of $9.15 million, provided that if the Company enters into a definitive agreement with an Excluded Party with respect to a Superior Proposal during, or within 20 days after, the “go-shop” period, the termination fee would be $5.05 million. In addition, the Company is obligated under the Merger Agreement to reimburse API for an amount not to exceed $2.75 million for documented reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses incurred by API and its affiliates under certain circumstances, including in the event the Company has terminated the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal. In the event that the Merger Agreement is voted on by the shareholders and not approved, the Company would be required to reimburse API for API’s deal expenses up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 million within two business days following delivery of a reasonably detailed itemization of such expenses.

Consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition, but is subject to customary conditions to closing, including the approval of a majority of the Company’s shareholders and receipt of requisite regulatory approvals. Consummation of the Merger is also conditioned on consent by holders of 95% of outstanding Company stock options to the conversion of their options in the Merger into the right to receive cash as described above.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company is entitled to seek specific performance against API to enforce API’s obligations under the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is only a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the report and incorporated herein by reference.

On March 28, 2011, the Company and API issued a joint press release announcing the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The Merger Agreement has been included with this report to provide investors and shareholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties to the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties to the Merger Agreement that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, or covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or the actual condition of the Company, API or Merger Sub 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 the Company’s public disclosures.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On March 28, 2011, the Company issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the 2011 first quarter ended February 28, 2011. A copy of the earnings release is attached as Exhibit 99.2.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this report, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 27, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) of the Employment and Consulting Agreement between the Company and Richard A. Southworth dated January 28, 2008, as amended as of November 9, 2009 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, if there is a “change in control” with respect to the Company and Mr. Southworth’s employment as President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company is thereafter or

thereupon terminated prior to November 30, 2011, Mr. Southworth will be retained by the Company as a consultant on the terms provided in the Agreement for a period of six years from the date of such termination. For services as a consultant under the Agreement, Mr. Southworth will receive annual compensation of $100,000, and in the event the six-year consulting term is (i) terminated by the Company for disability or death or just cause (as defined in the Agreement), Mr. Southworth or his estate will receive the portion of the annual fee earned but unpaid through the date of termination, (ii) terminated by the Company for any other reason, Mr. Southworth will be entitled to continuing payments of the annual consulting fee for the remainder of the consulting term on terms and conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of termination.

For purposes of the Amendment, “change in control” means the first of the following events to occur:

(a) Any acquisition or series of acquisitions by any person other than the Company, any of the subsidiaries of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any of their subsidiaries, or any person holding common shares of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of such employee benefit plan, that results in that person becoming the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of either the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company (“Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities entitled to then vote generally in the election of directors of the Company (“Outstanding Company Voting Securities”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such acquisition of Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities will not constitute a Change of Control while such Person does not exercise the voting power of its Outstanding Company Common Stock or otherwise exercise control with respect to any matter concerning or affecting the Company, or Outstanding Company voting Securities, and promptly sells, transfers, assigns or otherwise disposes of that number of shares of Outstanding Company Common Stock necessary to reduce its beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Outstanding Company Common stock to below 50%;

(b) During any period not longer than 24 consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, of each new board member was approved by a vote of at least 2/3rds of the Board members then still in office who were Board members at the beginning of such period (including for these purposes, new members whose election or nomination was so approved); and

(c) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of

(i) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company taken as a whole (with the stock or other ownership interests of the Company in any of its subsidiaries constituting assets of the Company for this purpose) to a person that is not an Affiliate of the Company (for purposes of this paragraph “sale” means any change of ownership), or

(ii) an agreement to merge or consolidate or otherwise reorganize, with or into one or more persons that are not Affiliates of the Company, as a result of which less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately after any such merger, consolidation or reorganization are, or will be, owned, directly or indirectly, by shareholders of the Company immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization (assuming for purposes of such determination that there is no change in the record ownership of the Company’s securities from the record date for such approval until such merger, consolidation or reorganization and that such record owners hold no securities of the other parties to such merger, consolidation or reorganization), but including in such determination any securities of the other parties to such merger, consolidation or reorganization held by Affiliates of the Company.

For purposes of this definition, an “Affiliate” of, or a person “Affiliated” with, a Person means a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under current control with, the Person specified.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated into this item by reference.

As of the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option shall be accelerated in full so that it becomes fully vested as of the Effective Time and shall without any action on the part of any holder of any Company Stock Option (each, an “Optionholder”) be cancelled and the Optionholder will receive from the Surviving Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event not less than two Business Days) following the Effective Time a cash payment (without interest) with respect thereto equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option and (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option (such payment, the “Option Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Stock Option with an exercise price at or above the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without any right to receive any consideration therefor.

(ii) The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) or a committee thereof shall make such amendments and adjustments to, make such determinations with respect to, and cause to be taken such actions with respect to, the Company Stock Options as are necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 3.01. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain written consent to the treatment of the Company Stock Options as provided by this Section 3.01(d) from each Optionholder.

Section 3.02 Payment Procedures.

(a) Payment of Merger Consideration. At or after the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) in a separate fund (the “Exchange Fund”), for the benefit of the holders of certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form that immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”), an amount in cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, and (ii) instruct the Paying Agent to pay the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement. The Merger Consideration deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that any such investment or any payment of earnings from any such investment shall not modify Parent’s obligation to pay the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.02(a). Any interest or income produced by such investments shall not be deemed part of the Exchange Fund and shall be payable as directed by Parent. In the event that the funds in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 3.01, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount that is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments. The Paying Agent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (A) held for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and (B) applied promptly to making the payments provided for in Section 3.01(b). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock; Transfer Books. The Merger Consideration paid by the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of this

-16-

Section 3.02 upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in Section 3.03.

(c) Payment of Option Consideration. Promptly following (but in no event less than two Business Days after) the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Surviving Corporation cash in an aggregate amount, together with any cash in the Company’s bank accounts immediately prior to the Closing, equal to the aggregate Option Consideration payable to all Optionholders pursuant to Section 3.01(d). The Option Consideration shall be paid by the Company through its payroll system (to the extent practicable), or if not practicable checks for such payment shall be drawn by the Surviving Corporation and sent by overnight courier to the holder’s last address on the Company’s records, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 3.03 Exchange of Shares.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (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 to the Paying Agent), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration issuable and payable in respect thereof (in accordance with Section 3.01(b)).

(b) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to any Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Paying Agent in advance of any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to any Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting Person, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(c) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Shareholders for six months after the Effective Time shall be paid, at the request of Parent, to Parent. Any Shareholder who has not theretofore complied with this Section 3.03 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock held by such Person at the Effective Time as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent, Merger Sub or any other Person shall be liable to any former Shareholder for any amount properly delivered to a

-17-

public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by former holders of Certificates five years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(d) In the event that 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 and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.04 Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, (a) Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent will promptly pay such withheld amounts to the appropriate taxing authority, and (b) such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Shareholder or Optionholder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

Section 3.05 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that the Company changes the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

-57-

(b) The provisions of this Section 6.08 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 any Continuing Employees, present or former employees or directors, consultants or independent contractors of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, Parent or any of its subsidiaries, or, on or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 6.08) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 6.08 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied, (i) shall constitute an amendment to any Company Benefit Plan or (ii) shall be construed to prevent, from and after the Effective Time, the termination of employment of any Continuing Employee or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08(a), any change in the employee benefits available to any Continuing Employee or the amendment or termination of any particular Company Benefit Plan or Parent Plan in accordance with its terms.

Unless Parent provides such written notice, no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or the board of directors (or other governing body) of the applicable Company Subsidiary. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable prior review and approval of Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such 401(k) Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require.

Section 6.09 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Without limiting the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 6.09(b) and Section 6.09(c), from and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall jointly and severally (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who served as a director and/or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Pennsylvania law, as now or hereafter in effect, in connection with any Claim and any judgments, fines (including excise Taxes), penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) resulting therefrom; and (ii) promptly pay on behalf of or, within 30 days after any request for advancement, advance to each of the Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Pennsylvania law, as now

In the event any Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall each use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of such matter, provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim (and in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder) without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party if and to the extent that the claimant seeks any non-monetary relief from such Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The indemnification and advancement obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 6.09(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and any Claim relating thereto) and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to an individual who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time and shall inure to the benefit of such individual’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. In connection with any determination as to whether the Indemnified Parties are entitled to the benefits of this Section 6.09(a), the burden of proof shall be on Parent and the Surviving Corporation to establish that an Indemnified Party is not so entitled.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Company Articles and the Company Bylaws to contain provisions no less favorable to each Indemnified Party with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than those that are contained in such documents as of the date of this Agreement.

(c) As of the Effective Time, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company shall maintain in full force and effect for a period of six years after the Closing Date (or, if any claim arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to an Indemnified Party’s duties or service as a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any employee benefit plan maintained by any of the foregoing at or prior to the Effective Time is asserted or made within such six-year period, Parent shall ensure that such insurance remains in effect until final disposition of such claim) a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance “tail” policy or policies providing each individual currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions relating to the approval of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) that is no less favorable than the Company’s existing policy; provided,

-59-

however, that Parent may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are in the aggregate no less advantageous to such individuals than the terms and conditions of the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company from reputable carriers having a rating comparable to the Company’s current carrier; provided, further, however, that, if the aggregate annual premiums for such policies exceed 275% of the current aggregate annual premiums, Parent shall provided or cause to be provided a policy for such individuals with the best coverage as shall then be available at an annual premium of 275% the current aggregate annual premiums.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.09 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.09 shall not be terminated (other than a valid termination pursuant to Article VIII) or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Section 6.09 without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.09.

(e) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, if Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.09.

(b) Except as permitted by Section 6.10(c), on the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary and the Company Representatives to, (i) immediately cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Person or group (other than an Excluded Party) that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) cause each Person (other than an Excluded Party or Parent and its representatives) to whom it provided confidential information prior to the No Shop Period Start Date to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Except as permitted by Section 6.10(c), from the No Shop Period Start Date until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company shall not, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary and the Company Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes or that might reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person information in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, an Acquisition Proposal; (C) enter into any letter of intent, term sheet, agreement or agreement in principle (in each case, whether binding or nonbinding) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement); (D) furnish to any Person or group (other than Parent and its representatives) any non-public information or afford to any Person or group (other than Parent and its representatives) access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; (E) take any action to make the provisions of any Takeover Statute (including any transaction under, or a Person or group becoming an “interested shareholder” under, the PBCL), or any restrictive provision of any applicable anti-takeover provision in the Company Articles or Company Bylaws, inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal (and, to the extent permitted thereunder, the Company shall promptly take all steps necessary to terminate any waiver that may have been previously granted to any Person other than Parent or any of its Affiliates under any such provisions); (F) grant any waiver or release under any standstill agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company (including by providing any consent or authorization to make an Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board (or any committee thereof) pursuant to any confidentiality or standstill agreement); or (G) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt by any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any Excluded Party. No later than 24 hours following the No-Shop Period Start Date, in addition to the information required to be provided pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Company shall identify to Parent (x) each Acquisition Proposal previously received by the Company and the Person or group making each such Acquisition Proposal, and (y) which Person or group submitting an Acquisition Proposal has been

-61-

determined by the Company Board (or any committee thereof) to be an Excluded Party and provide to Parent a summary of the reasons for such determination and an unredacted copy of each Acquisition Proposal (including any materials relating to such Excluded Party’s proposed financing commitments, if any (it being understood that the Company shall provide a written summary of all materials terms of any such financing commitments that, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the financing source thereto, cannot be provided in unredacted form)) submitted by such Excluded Party (or a written summary of the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal not made in writing). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.10 to the contrary, any Excluded Party shall cease to be an Excluded Party for all purposes under this Agreement upon the earlier of (1) 12:01 a.m. New York, New York time on the date that is the 20th day after the No-Shop Period Start Date (the “Excluded Party End Date”) and (2) such time as the Acquisition Proposal made by such Person or group is withdrawn, terminated, expires or no longer constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal. The Company agrees that any breach or violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.10 by any Company Representative shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement (including this Section 6.10) by the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.10, if at any time on or after the No-Shop Period Start Date and prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, the Company or any of the Company Representatives receives a bona fide Acquisition Proposal from any Person or group (which Acquisition Proposal was made or renewed on or after the No-Shop Period Start Date or, in the case of an Excluded Party, was made or renewed on or after the Excluded Party End Date (it being understood that such Person or group shall not thereafter be an Excluded Party)) that did not result from any breach of this Section 6.10 and the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (i) failure to take such action set forth in clauses (x) and (y) below would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, then the Company and the Company Representatives may (x) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person or group that has made such Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company shall (1) concurrently provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary that is provided to any Person if such information was not previously provided to Parent or its representatives, and (2) withhold those portions of documents or information, or provide pursuant to customary “clean room” or other appropriate procedures, to the extent relating to any pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive or competitive in nature if the exchange of such information (or portions thereof) could be reasonably likely to be harmful to the operation of the Company in any material respect; and (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group making such Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) provide to Parent (A) an unredacted copy of any Acquisition Proposal (including any materials relating to any proposed financing commitments (it being understood that the Company shall provide a written summary of all materials terms of any such financing commitments that, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the financing source thereto, cannot be provided in unredacted form)) made in writing provided to the Company or any Company Representative and

-62-

the identity of the Person or group making the Acquisition Proposal, or (B) a written summary of the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal not made in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the occurrence of the No-Shop Period Start Date, until the Excluded Party End Date the Company and the Company Representatives may continue to engage in the activities described in Section 6.10(a) with respect to an Excluded Party. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the Company Board) of any meeting of the Company Board (or any committee thereof) at which the Company Board (or any committee thereof) is expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary related to or from any Person or group who would reasonably be expected to make an Acquisition Proposal or any request for discussions or negotiations related to an Acquisition Proposal. Prior to taking any of the actions referred to in this Section 6.10(c), the Company shall notify Parent orally and in writing that it proposes to furnish non-public information or engage in discussions or negotiations as provided in this Section 6.10(c).

(d) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours) of (i) any initial request for non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary related to or from any Person or group who would reasonably be expected to make an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) any initial request for discussions or negotiations related to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) receipt of any Acquisition Proposal; or (iv) any material developments, changes, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall (A) provide Parent with the identity of the Person or group making such request or Acquisition Proposal and the material terms thereof and related written correspondence provided in connection therewith (including, if applicable, unredacted copies of any written requests, proposals, offers or proposed agreements, including any materials relating any proposed financing commitments (it being understood that the Company shall provide a written summary of all materials terms of any such financing commitments that, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the financing source thereto, cannot be provided in unredacted form)), and (B) thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours) of any material changes to the terms thereof. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree that subsections (i) and (ii) above shall apply only with respect to inbound, unsolicited requests from any Person or group. The Company shall, or shall cause the Company Representatives to, (x) promptly notify Parent in writing of the identity of all parties who enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement or (y) no later than 24 hours following the No-Shop Period Start Date, notify the Parent in writing of the identity of all parties that were contacted by the Company or the Company Representatives pursuant to Section 6.10(a). Until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company agrees that it and the Company Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.10.

(e) Except as expressly permitted by Section 6.10(f), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) fail to recommend to its Shareholders that the Company Required Vote be given (the “Company Recommendation”) or fail to include the Company

-63-

Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; (B) change, qualify, rescind, withhold, withdraw or modify, or propose to change, qualify, rescind, withhold, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation; (C) take any other action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer or otherwise take any action inconsistent with the Company Recommendation other than a recommendation against such offer or a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; (D) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend, to the Shareholders an Acquisition Proposal; or (E) except as permitted by Section 6.10(h), grant any waiver or release under any standstill agreement, or fail to enforce such agreement, with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company (each of the actions described in this Section 6.10(e)(i), a “Company Recommendation Change”); or (ii) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into any letter of intent, term sheet, agreement or agreement in principle (in each case, whether binding or nonbinding) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”). After receipt of a written request by Parent, the Company shall publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within ten Business Days of the commencement of any tender or exchange offer or the public announcement or public notice of an Acquisition Proposal unless a Company Recommendation Change is permitted pursuant to Section 6.10(f).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained this Section 6.10, prior to the time that the Company Required Vote is obtained, but not after, the Company Board may make a Company Recommendation Change in order to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.10 if and only if, prior to making such Company Recommendation Change, (i) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (ii) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect such Company Recommendation Change and enter into such Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Shareholders under applicable Law; (iii) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) provides Parent with at least four Business Days advance written notice (such period, the “Notice Period”) advising Parent of its intention to make a Company Recommendation Change and to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal; (iv) the Company provides Parent a written summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person or group making such Superior Proposal and an unredacted copy of the relevant proposed transaction documents and any other material documents (including any materials relating to any proposed financing commitments (it being understood that the Company shall provide a written summary of all materials terms of any such financing commitments that, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the financing source thereto, cannot be provided in unredacted form)) with the Person or group making such Superior Proposal; (v) the Company and the Company Representatives discuss and negotiate in good faith with Parent and its representatives, to the extent that Parent wishes to discuss and negotiate, any proposed changes by Parent to the terms of this Agreement so as to permit the Company Board (or any

-64-

committee thereof) not to effect a Company Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement in response to such Superior Proposal (including providing Parent and its representatives, to the extent that they desire to do so, an opportunity to make a presentation to the Company Board (or any committee thereof) regarding this Agreement and any proposed changes with respect thereto); and (vi) the Company Board (or any committee thereof), following the Notice Period, and taking into account any revised proposal made by Parent since the commencement of the Notice Period, determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to effect a Company Recommendation Change and enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Shareholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the event of any change to the material terms of such Superior Proposal (it being understood that any change in price or type of consideration shall be deemed to be a change of a material term), the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall deliver to Parent an additional notice and shall comply with this Section 6.10(f) with respect to such new notice, except that if the only change is a change in price, then the Notice Period shall be two Business Days (rather than the four Business Days otherwise contemplated by this Section 6.10(f)). Until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, none of the Company Board, any committee thereof or the Company shall enter into any binding agreement with any Person to limit or not provide prior notice to Parent of its intent to make a Company Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement in response to any Superior Proposal.

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Shareholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable securities Law, provided that any such disclosure (other than (A) a “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (B) an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or (C) an express reaffirmation of the Company Recommendation) shall be deemed to be a Company Recommendation Change.

(h) At any time prior to the time that the Company Required Vote is obtained, but not after, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may grant a waiver or release under any standstill agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. From the date of this Agreement until the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company may grant any such waiver solely to permit any counterparty to any such agreement to make non-public inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide written notice to Parent of any such waiver or release of any standstill by the Company concurrent with the granting of such waiver or release. Except for the waiver or release of any standstill as contemplated by this Section 6.10(h), from and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to,

-65-

enforce, and shall not release or permit the release of any Person from, or amend, waive, terminate or modify, and shall not permit the amendment, waiver, termination or modification of (whether by any Company Subsidiary or any other Person), any provision of any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or provision to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or pursuant to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary has any rights.

The Company will notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub will notify the Company, promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) of (a) any written communications from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall not apply in respect of any immaterial consents; (b) any written communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any such communication from a Governmental Entity in its capacity as a counterparty to any contract with the Company thereof); (c) any legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings, claims or Actions commenced against the Company or Parent or their respective subsidiaries that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (d) any event, change or effect between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time that causes or is reasonably likely to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.02(b) of this Agreement (in the case of the Company) or Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b) of this Agreement (in the case of Parent and Merger Sub) not to be satisfied; or (e) any notice or any 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 contemplated hereby.

Section 6.12 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such Takeover Statute inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.13 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall take all such steps as may be required and permitted to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such Company Common Stock) by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.14 Delisting. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Common Stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market and terminate registration under the Exchange Act, provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until or after the Effective Time.

-66-

franchises of either of the Company or Merger Sub, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement shall use all reasonable efforts to take all such necessary action.

(c) by the Company:

(i) at any time prior to the Company Required Vote having been obtained in order to enter into an acquisition agreement for a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be so terminated unless (i) the Company shall have complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6.06 and met the conditions for termination set forth in Section 6.10

-74-

Section 8.02 Company Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated (i) pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) or Section 8.01(d)(i) or (ii) pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii), Section 8.01(b)(iii) or Section 8.01(d)(ii), the Company shall pay Parent or its designee the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds (x) in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (i) above, prior to or contemporaneous with such termination, and (y) in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (ii) above, only if (A) prior to such termination but after the date hereof, an Acquisition Proposal is made known to the Company or publicly announced by any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates) and (B) an Acquisition Proposal is consummated or the Company enters into an acquisition agreement for, or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) recommends to Shareholders, an Acquisition Proposal with any Person, in any case, within 12 months following such termination, in which case such payment shall be made prior to or contemporaneous with the consummation of, or entering into an acquisition agreement for, an Acquisition Proposal, provided that for purposes of this clause (B), each reference to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%.” For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(b) As used herein, “Company Termination Fee” shall mean a cash amount equal to $9,150,000 except that in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) and the Company (i) prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date, simultaneously enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal or (ii) on or following the No-Shop Period Start Date but prior to the Excluded Party End Date, enters into a definitive agreement with an Excluded Party with respect to a Superior Proposal, then the Company Termination Fee shall mean a cash amount equal to $5,050,000.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) or Section 8.01(d)(i), the Company shall reimburse Parent or its designee for the documented reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Deal Expenses”) up to an aggregate amount of $2,750,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than two Business Days after delivery to the Company of an itemization setting forth in reasonable detail all such reimbursable expenses, and such reimbursed expenses will be in addition to the amount of the Company Termination Fee. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii), Section 8.01(b)(iii) or Section 8.01(d)(ii), the Company shall reimburse Parent or its designee for Deal Expenses up to an aggregate amount of $2,750,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than two Business Days after delivery to the Company of an itemization setting

-75-

forth in reasonable detail all such reimbursable expenses, and such reimbursed expenses will be in addition to the amount of any Company Termination Fee; provided, however that such expenses shall not be payable by the Company until such time as the Company Termination Fee is payable. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii), the Company shall reimburse Parent or its designee for any Deal Expenses up to an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 not later than two Business Days after delivery to the Company of an itemization setting forth in reasonable detail such Deal Expenses, provided that any amounts paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to this sentence shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis any Company Termination Fee that becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02(a). The parties acknowledge that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.02(a) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent 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 contemplated hereby, and (iii) without the agreements contained in this Section 8.02, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay all amounts due to Parent on the dates specified, then the Company shall pay all costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Parent in connection with any action or proceeding (including the filing of any lawsuit) taken by it to collect such unpaid amounts, together with interest on such amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing on the date that such payment was required to be made, as published in The Wall Street Journal, from the date that such amounts were required to be paid until the date actually received by Parent.

Section 8.03 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the Company as provided in this Article VIII, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no further force or effect, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any of their respective subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that (a) Section 6.01(a), Section 6.16(d), Article VIII and Article IX shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (b) neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of fraud or its intentional breach of this Agreement; provided, further, however, that receipt of the Company Termination Fee and to the extent applicable, Deal Expenses, as provided herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable and is actually paid by the Company.

The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Delaware over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (b) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.07.

Section 9.08 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event that such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a valid, legal and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term.

Section 9.09 Enforcement.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligation to consummate the Merger, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, in addition to any other remedy at law or

-79-

equity. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub each hereby waive (a) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach or wrongful repudiation of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, the actual damages incurred by the Company for purposes of determining damages to the extent available as a remedy to the Company under Section 9.09(c) would include the actual damages incurred by the Shareholders and Optionholders in the event that such Shareholders and Optionholders would not receive the benefit of the bargain negotiated by the Company on their behalf as set forth in this Agreement, provided that the maximum aggregate liability of Parent and Merger Sub under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be limited to the Merger Consideration and in no event shall the Company seek multiple or punitive damages against Parent or Merger Sub, or any recovery, judgment or damages or any kind against Parent or Merger Sub in excess of the Merger Consideration.

(b) The Company hereby agrees that specific performance as provided for in Section 9.09(a) shall be its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to breaches by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) and except as provided in Section 6.16(d) and Section 9.09(c), that it may not seek or accept any other form of relief that may be available for breach under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including monetary damages).

(c) If a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to specifically enforce the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against Parent pursuant to this Section 9.09 and has instead granted an award of damages for such alleged breach against Parent, the Company may enforce such award and accept damages for such alleged breach only if, within 14 days following such determination, the Company confirms to Parent in writing that it is prepared and willing to consummate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement, and Parent is not willing to consummate the Merger within such 14-day period in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to cause any legal proceeding still proceeding to be dismissed with prejudice at such time as Parent consummates the Merger in accordance with Article III of this Agreement or is otherwise willing to do so.

-81-

partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Exhibit 99.2

Spectrum Control Reports First Quarter Profit

Revenue Up 9% and Earnings Per Share Up 32% from a Year Ago

Fairview, PA—March 28, 2011—Spectrum Control, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPEC), a leading designer and manufacturer of custom electronic products and systems, today reported results for the first quarter ended February 28, 2011.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company reported net income of $3.3 million or 25 cents per diluted share on sales of $41.2 million, compared to net income of $2.4 million or 19 cents per diluted share on sales of $37.9 million for the same period last year.

Dick Southworth, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Compared to a year ago, our 2011 first quarter revenue grew 9%, principally driven by the successful integration of our recent business acquisitions. Demand for our products in various commercial applications continues to increase, reflecting improved general economic conditions and the impact from several of our new product offerings and capabilities. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, our total sales into commercial markets amounted to $16.0 million, up $1.3 million or 9% from the same quarter of 2010. These positive factors helped to offset a military/defense market which continues to be somewhat tentative, as many of our military/defense customers proceed cautiously during this period of defense spending scrutiny and reassessed priorities. With our overall increase in shipments, and our ability to leverage our operating costs and manufacturing capacity over greater sales volume, our profitability improved significantly. Our net income grew to $3.3 million in the current period, up 36% from a year ago, and our earnings per share increased by 32%.”

First Quarter Highlights

Increased Revenue

Late last year, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Summit Instruments, Inc. (“Summit”). Based in Akron, Ohio, Summit designs and manufactures custom inertia sensors, accelerometers, inertial measurement systems, and related products and assemblies. Since the acquisition, we have successfully integrated the acquired operations with our existing Sensors and Controls Business. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, total sales for our sensors and controls amounted to $6.4 million, up $1.9 million from the same period a year ago, with sales of Summit products generating $1.2 million of this increase. Excluding the impact of Summit, sales of our sensors and controls increased nearly 17% in the current period compared to the comparable period last year. Shipments for our sensors and control products were particularly strong for applications in medical equipment, instrumentation, and industrial controls during the current quarter.

Sales of our advanced specialty products were $12.0 million in the current quarter, up 2% from the first quarter of fiscal 2010. This increase primarily reflects the impact of our new product offerings in specialty connectors and antennas. Our advanced specialty products are used in numerous industries including military/defense, medical equipment and instrumentation, industrial controls, and communication equipment.

In June 2010, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sage Laboratories, Inc. (“Sage Labs”). Sage Labs, based in Hudson, New Hampshire, designs and manufactures custom microwave products including filters, diplexers, multiplexers, hybrids, and digital frequency discriminators. This acquired business is now reported within our Microwave Components and Systems Business. In the current quarter, total sales of our Microwave Components and Systems Business were $19.8 million, compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding the impact of our current period Sage Labs’ product sales of $2.9 million, sales of our microwave products were down approximately 5% from the same quarter of last year, reflecting the continued cautiousness prevalent throughout the military/defense industry.

Sales of our power management systems were $3.0 million in the current quarter, compared to a record-setting first quarter last year of $3.9 million. Demand remains strong for these products, particularly in applications for data storage and networking systems.

Improved Operating Margins

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, our gross margin was $10.1 million or 25% of sales, compared to $8.9 million or 23% of sales for the same quarter last year. Income from operations amounted to $4.9 million in the current quarter, up 31% from the comparable period a year ago. This improved operating performance principally reflects the economies of scale generated with additional sales and production volumes.

Current Business Outlook

Mr. Southworth added, “Regarding our military/defense business, we believe that the current market uncertainty may persist for several more months, before improving in the second half of fiscal 2011 when overall defense spending priorities and programs are clarified. Based on these current market conditions, we presently anticipate fiscal 2011 second quarter sales of $42.0 to $44.0 million, with earnings of 26 to 29 cents per share. If these operating results are achieved, we would once again have meaningful growth from the comparable period of a year ago, with sales up 6% to 11% and earnings per share up 4% to 12%. Beyond the second quarter of this year, we remain very optimistic about our business outlook as market conditions improve, and we continuously develop new and innovative solutions for our customers.”
