The bye-laws of Amalgamation Sub as in effect at the Effective Time (in the form attached hereto as Annex C-2) shall be the 2 bye-laws of the Amalgamated Company after the Effective Time (the "Bye-Laws"), until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Bermuda law. ARTICLE III Officers and Directors of the Amalgamated Company 3.1. Directors.

The officers of the Amalgamation Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Amalgamated Company until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and the Bye-Laws. ARTICLE IV Effect of the Amalgamation on Capital Stock and Options; Exchange of Certificates 4.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Amalgamation and without any action on the part of the holder of any of the shares of the Company: (a) Amalgamation Consideration. Each share of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (a "Share" and, collectively, the "Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by Parent, Amalgamation Sub or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent or Shares that are owned by any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (each, an "Excluded Share" and collectively, "Excluded Shares")) shall be converted into the right to receive, subject to any required withholding of taxes and without interest, an amount in cash equal to $11.55, subject to appropriate adjustment for any dividend of Shares, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange with respect to the Shares occurring after the date hereof and before the Effective Time (the "Amalgamation Consideration"). At the Effective Time, all Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a "Certificate") formerly representing any Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Amalgamation Consideration for each Share formerly represented thereby. 3 (b) Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall be cancelled by virtue of the Amalgamation without payment of any consideration. (c) Amalgamation Sub. Each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Amalgamation Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Amalgamated Company. 4.2. Payment for Shares. (a) Paying Agent. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a paying agent selected by Parent with the Company's prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (the "Paying Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than Excluded Shares), amounts sufficient in the aggregate to provide all funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make payments pursuant to Section 4.1(a) (the "Payment Fund"). (b) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event later than the fifth business day following the Effective Time, the Amalgamated Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor payment in the amount of the Amalgamation Consideration for each Share formerly represented thereby (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings) to which such holder is entitled, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the share register of the Company, the Amalgamation Consideration to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate therefor may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. If any payment is to be made to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent or the Paying Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. 4 (c) Transfers. At the Effective Time, the share register of the Company shall be closed and thereafter, there shall be no transfers on the share register of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. (d) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of the Company for one year after the Effective Time shall be paid to Parent. Any shareholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of cash upon due surrender of their Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Amalgamated Company, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. (e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event 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 delivery by such Person of an indemnity in favor of the Company in respect thereof, the Paying Agent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate and such an indemnity, the amount to which such Person is entitled upon due surrender of and deliverable in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement. (f) Withholding. Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company shareholder such amounts as Parent and the Paying Agent are required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any other applicable Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company shareholders in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent or the Paying Agent. 4.3. Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each then outstanding option granted under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated (the "1994 Stock Plan") and under the Company's 2004 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "2004 Stock Plan", together with the 1994 Stock Plan, the "Stock Plans"), to purchase Shares (a "Company Option"), whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive from Parent an amount of cash equal to the product of (x) the amount, if any, by which the Amalgamation Consideration exceeds the exercise price per Share subject to such Company Option (whether vested or unvested) and (y) the number of Shares issuable pursuant to the unexercised and outstanding portion of such Company Option, less any required withholding of taxes. Each of Parent and the Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take any necessary action in connection with the foregoing sentence. Any amounts to be paid by Parent pursuant to this 5 Section 4.3 shall be in addition to any amounts to be paid by or on behalf of Parent pursuant to Section 4.2. 4.4. Dissenting Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Shares that are held by shareholders of the Company who did not vote in favor of the Amalgamation shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Amalgamation Consideration for each Share formerly represented thereby, subject to the rights of shareholders of the Company ("Dissenting Shareholders") who are not satisfied that the Amalgamation Consideration constitutes fair value of their Shares and require appraisal of the fair value of their Shares ("Dissenting Shares") under Section 106 of the Bermuda Act. In the event that the Company decides to proceed with the Amalgamation pending the determination of any appraisal proceedings initiated by Dissenting Shareholders, the Dissenting Shareholders shall receive the Amalgamation Consideration for each Share formerly represented thereby upon compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 4.2. The Company shall give Parent (i) reasonably prompt notice of any written demands by Dissenting Shareholders for appraisal of Dissenting Shares or withdrawals of such demands received by the Company pursuant to the Bermuda Act and (ii) the opportunity to participate to the extent permitted by applicable Bermuda law in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands by Dissenting Shareholders for appraisal of Dissenting Shares under the Bermuda Act. Except as required by Section 106 of the Bermuda Act, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to any demands by Dissenting Shareholders of Dissenting Shares or offer to settle or settle any such demands. 4.5. Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Amalgamated Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Amalgamated Company are hereby fully authorized in the name of the Company or otherwise to take, and will use all good faith efforts to take, all such lawful and necessary action in connection therewith, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company do not, and the consummation by the Company of the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the memorandum of association or bye-laws of the Company or the comparable governing instruments of any of its Subsidiaries, (B) a breach or violation of, or a default, termination or cancellation under, or the acceleration of any obligations or the creation of a lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, charge or other encumbrance (each, a "Lien") on the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) pursuant to, any Contracts (including Material Contracts) binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Law or Order applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which its or any of their respective properties is bound or affected or (C) any change in the rights or obligations of any party (including requiring any consents or waivers) under any of the Contracts, except, in the case of clause (B) or (C) above, for any breach, violation, default, termination, cancellation, acceleration, Lien or change that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(ii) Each Material Contract is (A) a valid and binding obligation upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is a party thereto, (B) to the knowledge of the Company, a valid and binding obligation of each other party thereto, and (C) in full force and effect. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any other party thereto, under any provision thereof or that would permit modification, cancellation, foreclosure, imposition of any Lien, prepayment or acceleration or termination of any Material Contract by any other party thereto or by it, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice regarding any violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract, or any intention to terminate any such Material 11 Contract which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any ERISA Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, could subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount which would be material. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred nor reasonably expects to incur a material tax or penalty imposed by Section 4980F of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA. (iii) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any entity which is considered one employer with the Company under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (A) maintains or contributes to or has within the past six years maintained or contributed to a Pension Plan that is subject to Subtitles C or D of Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or (B) maintains or has an obligation to contribute to or has within the past six years maintained or had an obligation to contribute to a Multiemployer Plan.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations to provide health, accident, disability, life insurance or death benefits with respect to any current or former employees, consultants or directors or any retirees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the spouses, dependents or beneficiaries of any of the foregoing, beyond the termination of employment or service of any such employee, consultant, director or retiree, whether under any Benefit Plan or otherwise, other than as required under Section 4980B of the Code or other applicable Law. The Company or its applicable Subsidiary may amend or terminate any such plan at any time without incurring any liability thereunder other than in respect of claims incurred prior to such amendment or termination. (v) There has been no amendment to, announcement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year. None of the execution of this Agreement, shareholder approval of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, either alone or in combination with another event (whether contingent or otherwise), will (A) entitle any current or former employee, consultant or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any payment, (B) increase 13 the amount of compensation or benefits due to any such employee, consultant or director, (C) accelerate the vesting, funding or time of payment of any compensation, equity award or other benefit, (D) result in any "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code (whether or not such payment would be considered reasonable compensation for services rendered) or (E) result in payments which would not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. (vi) To the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has made any payments or provided any benefits to any "service provider" that would constitute "deferred compensation," in each case within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such payments have been made, and such benefits have been provided, in good faith compliance with IRS Notice 2005-1, the proposed regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code prior to the date hereof, or with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

There has occurred no default, revocation or suspension under any such Permit, and no event has occurred that permits, or upon the giving of notice or passage of time or both would permit, revocation, non-renewal, modification, suspension, limitation or termination of any Permit that is currently in effect, except in each case for any default, revocation, 14 suspension, event, non-renewal, modification, suspension, limitation or termination that individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Acquisition Proposals. (a) The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective officers and directors shall, and that it shall not authorize or permit its or any of its Subsidiaries' 24 employees, agents and representatives to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, amalgamation or similar transaction involving the Company, or with respect to any purchase, acquisition, assignment, lease or transfer of 25% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company or 25% or more of the equity securities of the Company, or any combination of the foregoing (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an "Acquisition Proposal"). The Company further agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective officers and directors shall, and that it shall not authorize or permit its or any of its Subsidiaries' employees, agents and representatives to, directly or indirectly, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to a proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal or enter into an agreement or agreement in principle with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. (b) The provisions of Section 6.2(a) shall not prevent the Company or its Board of Directors, prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote and subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement, from (A) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law; (B) providing information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors receives from such Person requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no more favorable to such person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not prohibit the making, or amendment, of an Acquisition Proposal); (C) engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal; (D) recommending such an Acquisition Proposal to the shareholders of the Company; or (E) entering into a binding written agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal, if, (i) in each case referred to in clause (B), (C), (D) and/or (E) above, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and the Company's financial advisor that such action is likely to be required in order for its directors to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) in each case referred to in clause (D) and/or (E) above, (x) the Company has given Parent five business days' prior written notice (such five business day period to recommence upon notification by the Company of any material change to the applicable Acquisition Proposal) of its intention to take any such action (including attaching the most current version of any such binding written agreement referred to in clause (E) above) and (y) at the end of such five business day period, after taking into account any adjusted, modified or amended terms proposed by Parent, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal, if accepted, has substantially the same likelihood of consummation as the Amalgamation, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal, and would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the Company's shareholders from 25 a financial point of view than the Amalgamation (any Acquisition Proposal as to which the Company's Board of Directors make such good faith determination being referred to in this Agreement as a "Superior Proposal"). The Company agrees that it will not recommend to the shareholders of the Company an Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (D) above or enter into a binding agreement referred to in clause (E) above until, in each case, at least the sixth business day after it has provided the notice (or revised notice, as the case may be) to Parent required under the previous sentence. The Company agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. (c) The Company agrees that it will notify Parent promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) upon receipt of any Acquisition Proposal by it or any of its representatives, including the material terms of such proposal, the identity of the potential acquiror, any information requested from the Company, or of any negotiations or discussions being sought to be initiated with the Company. The Company shall keep Parent fully informed on a prompt basis with respect to any material changes to the applicable Acquisition Proposal, the Company's intention to enter into an Acquisition Proposal or any other material developments with respect to the foregoing. The Company will simultaneously provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries provided to any Person that was not previously provided to Parent. 6.3. Company Shareholders Meeting. The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its memorandum of association and bye-laws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of holders of Shares (the "Company Shareholders Meeting") as promptly as practicable after the date hereof to consider and vote upon this Agreement. Subject to fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, the Company's Board of Directors shall recommend approval of this Agreement and shall take all lawful action to solicit such approval. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prevent the Company's Board of Directors from withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying its recommendation that the Company's shareholders vote in favor of this Agreement if the Company's Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and the Company's financial advisor that it is necessary to do so in order to act in a manner consistent with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that Section 6.2 shall govern the withholding, withdrawing, amendment or modifying of such recommendation in the circumstances described therein. 6.4. Information Supplied. (a) The Company agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information included or incorporated by reference (i) in the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the date of mailing to shareholders and at the time of the Company Shareholder Meeting, and (ii) in any other filings required to be made by the Company with the SEC in connection with the Amalgamation, or any amendment or supplement thereto (collectively, the "Other Filings"), at the time of filing and at any distribution or dissemination thereof, will contain any untrue statement of a 26 material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company's covenants contained in clauses (i) and (ii) above will not apply to statements or omissions included in the Proxy Statement or any Other Filings based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by Parent or Amalgamation Sub specifically for use therein. The Company agrees that the Proxy Statement and any Other Filings, and any amendments or supplements thereto, when filed by the Company with the SEC, or when distributed or otherwise disseminated to the Company's shareholders, as applicable, will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act (including a form of proxy statement that complies as to form in all material respects with the requirements of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act as if such section were applicable to the Company) and other applicable Laws. (b) Parent agrees, as to itself and Amalgamation Sub, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it or Amalgamation Sub in writing specifically for use in (i) the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the date of mailing to shareholders and at the time of the Company Shareholders Meeting, or (ii) any Other Filing, at the time of filing and at any distribution or dissemination thereof, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 6.5. Filings; Other Actions; Notification. (a) In connection with the Company Shareholders Meeting, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a proxy statement relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Amalgamation (the "Proxy Statement") in accordance with applicable Law, including the Bermuda Act, and shall file or furnish the Proxy Statement with the SEC no later than thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. The Company shall mail the Proxy Statement to its shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Company shall as promptly as practicable notify Parent and Amalgamation Sub of the receipt of any oral or written comments from the SEC relating to any request from the SEC for amendments of, or supplements to, the Proxy Statement, as well as any request by the SEC for additional information relating to the Proxy Statement. The Company (in consultation with Parent and Amalgamation Sub) shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to the comments of the SEC, if any, with respect to the Proxy Statement (including filing all exhibits and other document required to be so filed with the SEC in response to such comments). The Company shall provide Parent and Amalgamation Sub with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of the Proxy Statement (including each amendment or supplement thereto) and all responses to requests, if any, for additional information by and replies to comments of the SEC, prior to filing such with, or sending such to, the SEC. If at any time prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, any information should be discovered by any party that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement would not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 27 material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and, to the extent required by applicable Law, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by the Company with the SEC and disseminated by the Company to the shareholders of the Company; provided that prior to such mailing of any amendment or supplement, the Company shall provide Parent with the right to review and comment on such amendment or supplement as described in this Section 6.5. Subject to Section 6.2, the Proxy Statement shall contain the Company Recommendation. (b) The Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part hereunder and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party (including shareholders) and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Amalgamation or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to Section 6.5(a) and applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, to the extent practicable, Parent and the Company shall have the right to reasonably collaborate in connection with any communication that Parent or the Company makes to any Governmental Entity regarding the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated hereby before such communication is made. (c) The Company shall, upon request by Parent, furnish Parent, the SEC and any other Governmental Entities with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Amalgamation and the transactions contemplated hereby. (d) Parent shall, upon request by the Company, furnish the Company, the SEC and any other Governmental Entities with all information concerning itself and Amalgamation Sub and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Amalgamation and the transactions contemplated hereby. 28 (e) The Company and Parent each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notice or other communications received by Parent, Amalgamation Sub, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated hereby. 6.6. Access. Upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent's officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its properties, books, contracts, records, officers, employees and representatives and, during such period, the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to Parent all information concerning its business, properties, Contracts, financial data, personnel and other information as may reasonably be requested, provided that the foregoing shall not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties if the Company shall have used reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company, as the case may be, or such Person as may be designated by the Company's officers, as the case may be. All such information shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. 6.7. Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release and thereafter the Company and Parent each shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated hereby and prior to making any filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities interdealer quotation service) with respect thereto, except as may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities interdealer quotation service. 6.8. Certain Notices. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (a) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied or (b) the failure of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring 29 disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice. 6.9. FIRPTA Certificate. Prior to the Application Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent such forms and certificates, duly executed and acknowledged, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, certifying that the Amalgamation is exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of the Code. 6.10. Benefits. Subject to the terms of any collective bargaining agreement currently in effect or which may be in effect in the future, Parent agrees that, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the second anniversary thereof, the employees of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries will continue to be provided with benefits under employee benefit plans that will be substantially similar in the aggregate to those currently provided by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to such employees. Parent shall, or shall cause the Amalgamated Company to, honor in accordance with their terms: (a) all employee benefit obligations to current and former employees of the Company accrued as of the Effective Time, (b) to the extent set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter, all employment or severance agreements entered into prior to the date hereof and (c) the severance plan terms set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter without amendment for one year immediately following the Effective Time. Subject to the terms of any collective bargaining agreement currently in effect or which may be in effect in the future, Parent will cause each employee benefit plan of Parent in which employees of the Company are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (other than benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan) thereunder the service of such employees with the Company as if such service were with Parent to the same extent that such service was credited under a comparable plan of the Company. 6.11. Expenses. The Amalgamated Company shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the transactions contemplated in Article IV, and Parent shall reimburse the Amalgamated Company for such charges and expenses. Whether or not the Amalgamation is consummated, except as set forth in Section 8.5(b), Section 8.5(c) and Section 8.5(d), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense. 6.12. Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance. (a) Parent and the Amalgamated Company jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted under the Company's memorandum of association and by-laws and indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement, each present and former director, officer and employee of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters 30 existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby. (b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify in writing Parent or the Amalgamated Company, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent or the Amalgamated Company of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not materially prejudice Parent or the Amalgamated Company. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Parent or the Amalgamated Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and neither Parent nor the Amalgamated Company shall be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent or the Amalgamated Company elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent or the Amalgamated Company and the Indemnified Parties such that it would be unethical or inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Parties, on one hand, and Parent and Amalgamation Sub, on the other hand, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent or the Amalgamated Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties reasonably promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Parent and the Amalgamated Company shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (b) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties (in addition to any local counsel) unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with such a conflict of interest, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) neither Parent nor the Amalgamated Company shall be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that neither Parent nor the Amalgamated Company shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law. Parent may not agree to any settlement of any such claim or action, other than solely for monetary damages for which Parent shall be responsible hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such claim. In any action hereunder as to which Parent has assumed the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice, but Parent shall not be obligated hereunder to reimburse the indemnified party of the costs or expenses thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Section. If the indemnity provided for by this Section is not available with respect to any Indemnified Party, then the Amalgamated Company and the Indemnified Party shall contribute to the amount payable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect relative faults and benefits. 31 (c) The Amalgamated Company shall maintain, and Parent shall cause the Amalgamated Company to maintain, the Company's existing officers' and directors' liability insurance for a period of six years after the Effective Time (provided that coverage limits in the aggregate for the entire six-year period are not less than the current annual limits, provided, further, that if such coverage is unavailable, the Amalgamated Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain substantially equivalent coverage) with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Amalgamated Company be required to expend more than an amount per year equal to 200% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance; provided further, however, that if the premiums for such coverage exceed such amount, the Amalgamated Company shall purchase a policy with the greatest coverage available for such 200% of the current annual premiums paid by the Company. In lieu of the foregoing, Parent or the Amalgamated Company may obtain a "tail" policy of substantially equivalent coverage and amounts containing terms no less favorable to such former directors or officers covering events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time for a period of not fewer than six (6) years after the Effective Time at a cost not to exceed 200% of the current annual premiums paid by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005.

(b) Without limiting Parent's rights under Section 8.5(c) or 8.5(d), the Company shall pay Parent a termination fee of $6,940,764 (the "Termination Fee"), plus up to an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 of all out-of-pocket expenses of Parent and its Affiliates, including fees and expenses of financial advisors, outside legal counsel, accountants, experts and consultants incurred by Parent and its Affiliates or on their respective behalf in connection with or related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Parent Expenses") in the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(a), or (ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(b), if, solely with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), (A) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to the Company or its shareholders or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company prior to such termination and (B) within 12 months of such termination, the Company consummates a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (with all percentages in the definition of Acquisition Proposal increased to fifty percent (50%)). In the event of a Termination Fee and Parent Expenses payable pursuant to Section 8.5(b)(i), such fee and expenses shall be paid to Parent upon termination of this Agreement, and in the event of a Termination Fee and Parent Expenses payable pursuant to Section 8.5(b)(ii), such fee and expenses shall be paid to Parent upon the consummation of the definitive agreement in connection with the applicable Acquisition Proposal. 36 (c) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(a), then, without limiting Parent's rights under Section 8.5(b) or 8.5(d), upon termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the Parent Expenses; provided, however, that if within 12 months of such termination, the Company enters into or consummates a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (with all percentages in the definition of Acquisition Proposal increased to fifty percent (50%)), then the Company shall also pay to Parent an amount equal to the Termination Fee upon consummation of such definitive agreement (even if such consummation occurs following such 12 month period). (d) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(b), then, without limiting Parent's rights under Section 8.5(b) or 8.5(c), upon termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the Parent Expenses; provided, however, that if (A) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to the Company or its shareholders or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company prior to such termination and (B) within 12 months of such termination, the Company enters into or consummates a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (with all percentages in the definition of Acquisition Proposal increased to fifty percent (50%)), then upon the earlier of the execution or consummation of such definitive agreement, the Company shall also pay to Parent an amount equal to the Termination Fee.

Parent and the Company acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay promptly any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.5 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in this Section 8.5, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party's costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such suit.
