On October 18, 2010, the Stockholders entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Finn Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), in connection with the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 18, 2010, among the Issuer, Parent and Finn Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).  The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Issuer, with Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

SCHEDULE 13D/A

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, other than shares held by the Issuer, Parent or Merger Sub, or held by the Stockholders or by any stockholders who are entitled to, and who properly exercise, appraisal rights under Delaware law, will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $33.00, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). The Stockholders will receive $1.75 in cash less than the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock they hold if the transaction closes by December 31, 2010 and will receive the Per Share Merger Consideration if the transaction closes thereafter.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by such Stockholder (i) in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement, (ii) in favor of any adjournment or postponement recommended by the Issuer with respect to any stockholder meeting with respect to the Merger Agreement, (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any proposal relating to an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) against any merger agreement or merger, acquisition, consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by the Issuer, or any other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, in each case other than the Merger Agreement, and (v) against any other proposal, action or agreement, in each case that would (1) prevent, impair, delay or otherwise adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or (2) result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Issuer under the Merger Agreement.  Each Stockholder has granted Parent an irrevocable proxy to vote such Stockholders’ shares of Common Stock as described in the preceding sentence.

The Voting Agreement automatically terminates with respect to any Stockholder upon the earliest of (i) the mutual agreement of Parent and such Stockholder, (ii) the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (iv) the date of any amendment to the terms of the Merger Agreement that reduces the amount, changes the form, or imposes any material restrictions or additional conditions on the receipt, of consideration payable in respect of each share of Common Stock held by such Stockholder or that is otherwise adverse in any material respect to such Stockholder.

In the event the Voting Agreement is terminated because the Issuer has accepted a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Stockholders have agreed to accept $1.75 less than other stockholders in consideration per share from the party making the Superior Proposal if that transaction closes on or prior to December 31, 2010.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Stockholders have also granted an option to Parent to acquire the Stockholders’ shares for $1.75 less than the Per Share Merger Consideration between December 15 and December 31, 2010.  If Parent purchases the Stockholders’ shares (the “Acquired Shares”) pursuant to such option and (i) on or prior to January 15, 2011, in connection with a Superior Proposal, the Company terminates the Merger Agreement and pays the Company Termination Fee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to Parent in accordance with the Merger Agreement and (ii) prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the purchase of the Acquired Shares, either (A) the applicable Acquisition Transaction is consummated or (B) prior to any withdrawal of, or termination of the definitive agreement with respect to, such Acquisition Transaction, Parent sells one or more Acquired Shares, then Parent, promptly upon receipt thereof, shall pay to each Stockholder one-half (50%) of Parent’s profit, if any, with respect to the Acquired Shares acquired from such Stockholder.
