Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 18, 2012, Sonus Networks, Inc. (“Sonus”) entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Network Equipment Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and Navy Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonus (“Transitory Subsidiary”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the conditions thereof, Transitory Subsidiary will merge with and into Seller with Seller surviving and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonus (the “Merger”).  At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Seller’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares owned by (i) Sonus, Transitory Subsidiary or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sonus immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, (ii) Seller or any wholly owned subsidiary of Seller or (iii) stockholders who have properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted automatically into the right to receive $1.35 in cash, without interest.

In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, Sonus will assume Seller’s Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan, Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Program and 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Seller Stock Plans”), as well as all outstanding in-the-money stock options, all outstanding restricted stock units and all unissued shares reserved for further issuance under the Seller Stock Plans, but will substitute shares of Sonus common stock for shares of Seller’s common stock.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (i) the approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Seller’s common stock entitled to vote on the Merger (the “Stockholder Approval”) and (ii) the absence of any injunction, judgment or ruling prohibiting the Merger.  Moreover, each party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to certain other conditions, including (i) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (subject to materiality exceptions) and (ii) the other party’s compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to materiality exceptions).  If the Merger is not consummated by December 31, 2012, either party may terminate the Merger Agreement.

Seller has made customary representations and warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including covenants regarding: (i) the conduct of the business of Seller prior to the consummation of the Merger and (ii) the calling and holding of a meeting of Seller’s stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval.

Seller is subject to customary “no-shop” restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals.  However, prior to approval of the Merger by Seller’s stockholders, the no-shop provision is subject to a customary “fiduciary-out” provision which allows Seller, under certain circumstances, to provide information to and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with third parties with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal that the Seller’s Board of Directors has determined

2

is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a “Superior Proposal” (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for Sonus and the Seller.  Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Seller will be required to pay Sonus a termination fee of $1.25 million.

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

The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to provide investors with information regarding its terms.  It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Sonus, Seller or Transitory Subsidiary.  The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.  Certain of the representations and warranties have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts.  In addition, the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (i) are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure schedule that the parties have exchanged, (ii) were made only as of the dates specified in the Merger Agreement or the confidential disclosure schedule, and (iii) in some cases are subject to qualifications with respect to materiality, knowledge and/or other matters, including standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.  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 Sonus public disclosures.  Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Sonus or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Item 8.01.              Other Events.

On June 19, 2012, Sonus held a conference call announcing the signing of the Merger Agreement.  A copy of the conference call transcript is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 18, 2012, is among Sonus Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), Navy Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Merger Sub”), and Network Equipment Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of the Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company have determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders for the Parent to acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and have approved this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the acquisition of the Company shall be effected through a merger (the “Merger”) of the Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as a result of which the Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1                                 The Merger.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, the Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company at the Effective Time (as defined below).  At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Merger Sub in accordance with the DGCL.

1.2                                 Closing.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 4:30 p.m., eastern time, on the second business day after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the time of the Closing but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of such conditions), at the offices of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, 60 State Street, Boston, MA 02109, or at such other time, date or place agreed to in writing by the Parent and the Company; provided that if all the conditions set forth in Article VII shall not have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waived on such second business day, then the Closing shall take place on the first business day on which all such conditions shall have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waived.  The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

1.3                                 Effective Time.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, a certificate of merger or other

1

appropriate documents (in any such case, the “Certificate of Merger”) shall be duly prepared, executed and acknowledged by the parties in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”).  The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State or at such subsequent time or date as the Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger.  The time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Time.”

1.4                                 Effects of the Merger.  The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259 of the DGCL.

1.5                                 Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.  The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended at the Effective Time in its entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit A until thereafter amended as provided under the DGCL.  The By-laws of the Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided under the DGCL.

1.6                                 Directors and Officers.  The directors of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their successors are elected or designated and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal from office.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each member of the Company Board to execute and deliver a letter effectuating his or her resignation as a director of the Company (and, to the extent requested by the Parent, each of the Company’s Subsidiaries) effective upon the Effective Time.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1                                 Effect of Merger of Capital Stock.

(a)                                  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the holder of any shares of the capital stock of the Company or capital stock of the Merger Sub:

(i)                                     each share of the Merger Sub’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the same class of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation;

(ii)                                  each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Company, including all shares of Company Common Stock

2

held by the Company as treasury stock, shall automatically be cancelled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(iii)                               each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to clause (ii) above and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof)) shall be automatically converted into and become the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in this Section 2.1(a)).  When so converted, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) and each holder of any such shares of Company Common Stock held in book entry form immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Book Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii) upon surrender of such Certificate or such Book Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding rights in accordance with Section 2.2(g).

As used in this Agreement, the “Merger Consideration” shall mean $1.35.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) and who have not withdrawn or lost the right to appraisal (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262.  At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 262 shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii), without interest.  The Company shall give the Parent and the Merger Sub prompt notice of any demands for payment, or notices of intent to demand payment, received by the Company with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, and the Parent and the Merger Sub shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent and the Merger Sub, make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

3

(c)                                  At and immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Options”) and each outstanding restricted stock unit issued by the Company (“Company RSU”) shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 6.10, provided that the Company Board or a designated committee thereof administering a Company Stock Plan, shall, in consultation with, and with the consent of, the Parent, have the authority to vary the treatment of Company Stock Options and Company RSUs under such Company Stock Plan from that described in Section 6.10 to the extent required by or advisable under any applicable non-U.S. law, ordinance, rule or regulation.

2.2                                 Exchange of Certificates.  The procedures for exchanging outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger are as follows:

(a)                                  Paying Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment after the Effective Time of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of Certificates or Book Entry Shares.  From time to time after the Effective Time, the Parent shall provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to the Paying Agent, on a timely basis as and when needed, cash necessary for payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) upon surrender of Certificates and Book Entry Shares (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”).

(b)                                 Exchange Procedures.  As soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five (5) business days) after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or of Book Entry Shares (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to a Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate to the Paying Agent and, in the case of Book Entry Shares, delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title shall pass only upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, and which letter of transmittal shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates and Book Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.  Surrender of any Book Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with the Paying Agent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry.  Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and properly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall pay to the holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares (or as otherwise directed in the letter of transmittal) in exchange therefor an amount of cash equal to the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii), and the Certificate or Book Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book Entry Shares so surrendered is or are registered if, in the case of a Certificate, such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, or, in the case of Book Entry Shares, the person in whose name such Book Entry Shares are registered shall have delivered to the Paying Agent instruments of transfer in such form as the Paying Agent may require in accordance with its customary procedures for the transfer for securities represented by book entry, and, in each case,

4

the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of the Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and all Book Entry Shares shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii).  No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book Entry Shares.

(c)                                  No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of the capital stock of the Company (the “Company Capital Stock”) formerly represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Shares.  Upon the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d)                                 Termination of Payment Fund.  Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates and Book Entry Shares for twelve months after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to the Parent, upon demand, and any holder of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration, but shall have no greater rights against the Parent than may be accorded to general unsecured creditors of the Parent under applicable law.

(e)                                  No Liability.  None of the Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.  If any Certificate or any Book Entry Shares have not been surrendered immediately prior to such date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.4)), any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f)                                    Investments of Payment Fund.  The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund as directed by the Parent, provided that any such investment shall be limited to (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof or (ii) money market mutual funds invested exclusively in some or all of the securities described in the foregoing clause (i).  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to and be the property of the Parent.

5

(g)                                 Withholding Rights.  The Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, and pay to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts as any of them reasonably determines are required to be deducted and withheld by any of them with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

2.3                                 Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay to such holder the Merger Consideration required pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof with such assurances as the Parent or Paying Agent, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration, may require of the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

2.4                                 Adjustment of Merger Consideration.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares of Company Common Stock or a different class of capital stock of the Company by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, distribution, reclassification, redenomination, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares of Company Common Stock or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and any other dependent items shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, in the aggregate, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration or other dependent item, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this sentence.

6

(2) the other paragraphs in this Article III only to the extent that it is readily apparent from a reading of such disclosure that it also qualifies or applies to such other paragraphs.

3.1                                 Organization, Standing and Power.

(a)                                  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction listed in Section 3.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which jurisdictions constitute the only jurisdictions in which the character of the properties it owns, operates or leases or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures to be so organized, qualified or in good standing that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to result in, a Company Material Adverse Effect.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any change, event, circumstance, development or effect (each, a “Change”) that, individually or in the aggregate with all other Changes occurring or existing prior to the determination of a Company Material Adverse Effect, (i) has a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, capitalization, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ii) would prevent the Company from consummating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, solely for purposes of clause (i) above, none of the following, and no effect arising out of or resulting from the following, in each case to the extent arising after the date of this Agreement, shall constitute (in and of itself) a Company Material Adverse Effect or be taken into account in determining whether a “Company Material Adverse Effect” has occurred or may, would or could occur (except, in the cases of clauses (x) and (y)(A), (C) and (D), where the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are disproportionately affected relative to other persons operating in the industries or markets in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate): (x) any Change generally affecting (A) the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or (B) the economy, credit or financial or capital markets in the United States or elsewhere in the world, including changes in interest or exchange rates, or (y) any Change arising out of, resulting from or attributable to (A) changes or prospective changes in law, in applicable regulations of any Governmental Entity, in generally accepted accounting principles or in accounting standards, or any changes or prospective changes in the interpretation or enforcement of any of the foregoing, (B) the announcement or pendency of this Agreement, (C) political conditions (or developments or changes in such conditions) or acts of war (whether or not declared), sabotage or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war (whether or not declared), sabotage or terrorism, (D) pandemics, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados or other natural disasters, (E) any decline in the market price, or change in trading volume, of any capital stock of the Company (it being understood, in each case, that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such decline or change may be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or would reasonably be expected to be, a Company Material Adverse Effect), (F) any legal proceedings brought by any current or former stockholders of the Company (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any action taken by the Company or the Company Board in connection with this Agreement or (G) any failure by the Company to meet any public estimates

7

or expectations of the Company’s revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period, or any failure by the Company to meet its internal budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations (it being understood, in each case, that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such failure may be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or would reasonably be expected to be, a Company Material Adverse Effect).  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the terms “material”, “materially” or “materiality” as used in this Agreement with an initial lower case “m” shall have their respective customary and ordinary meanings, without regard to the meanings ascribed to Company Material Adverse Effect in the prior sentence of this paragraph.

(b)                                 The Company has delivered to the Parent complete and accurate copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company.

3.2                                 Capitalization.

(j)                                     Each Company Employee Plan and any other payment or arrangement for which the Company or its Subsidiaries has liability that is subject to Section 409A of the Code is in documentary compliance with and has been operated in compliance with Section 409A of the Code except to the extent any failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries, and no person has a right to any gross up or indemnification from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any such Company Employee Plan, payment or arrangement subject to Section 409A of the Code.  No stock option

29

4.2                                Authority; No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

(a)                                  Each of the Parent and the Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parent and the Merger Sub and the consummation by the Parent and the Merger Sub of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of the Parent and the Merger Sub (other than the adoption of this Agreement by the Parent in its capacity as the sole stockholder of the Merger Sub, which shall occur prior to the Closing Date).  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Parent and the Merger Sub and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each of the Parent and the Merger Sub, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

(b)                                 The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the Parent and the Merger Sub do not, and the consummation by the Parent and the Merger Sub of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not, (i) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Parent or the Merger Sub, (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default (or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any material benefit) under, or require a consent or waiver under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract or other agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Parent or the Merger Sub is a party or by which either of them or any of their properties or assets may be bound, or (iii) subject to compliance with the requirements specified in clauses (i)

through (iii) of Section 4.2(c), conflict with or violate any permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, injunction, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Parent or the Merger Sub or any of their properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.2(b) for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults, terminations, cancellations, accelerations or losses which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Parent or the Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(c)                                  No consent, approval, license, permit, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration, notice or filing with any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to the Parent or the Merger Sub in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Parent or the Merger Sub of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and appropriate corresponding documents with the appropriate authorities of other states in which the Company is qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business, (ii) required filings under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (iii) such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may be required under applicable “takeover” or state securities laws, and (iv) such consents, approvals, licenses, permits, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations, notices and filings, the failure of which to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Parent or the Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

4.3                                Information Provided.  The information to be supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement shall not, on the date the Proxy Statement is first mailed to stockholders of the Company or at the time of the Company Meeting, contain any statement which, at such time and in light of the circumstances under which it shall be made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made in the Proxy Statement not false or misleading; or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies for the Company Meeting which has become false or misleading.  If at any time prior to the Company Meeting any fact or event relating to the Parent or any of its Affiliates which should be set forth in a supplement to the Proxy Statement should be discovered by the Parent or should occur, the Parent shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof, inform the Company of such fact or event.

4.4                                Sufficient Funds.  The Parent and the Merger Sub will have all of the funds available as and when needed that are necessary to enable them to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in full as well as to make all other required payments payable in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

4.5                                Litigation.  There is no material action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent, threatened against or affecting the Parent, the Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Parent or the Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

41

4.6                                Interim Operations of the Merger Sub.  The Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has not engaged in any other business activities and has conducted its operations only as contemplated hereby.

4.8                                Non-Reliance on Company Estimates, Projections, Forecasts, Forward-Looking Statements and Business Plans.  In connection with any investigation by the Parent and Merger Sub of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Parent and Merger Sub have received or may receive from the Company and/or the Company’s Subsidiaries and/or other persons on behalf of the Company certain estimates, projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information in written or verbal communications.  The Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in all such estimates, projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and plans, that the Parent and Merger Sub are familiar with such uncertainties, that the Parent and Merger Sub are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and plans so furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forward-looking statements, forecasts or plans), and that the Parent and Merger Sub shall have no claim against the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other person with respect thereto.  Accordingly, the Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that neither the Company nor any other person on behalf of the Company makes any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forward-looking statements, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans).

ARTICLE V

ARTICLE VI

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

6.1                                No Solicitation.

(a)                                  Except as set forth in this Section 6.1, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall not and shall cause each of the directors and officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not to, and shall not authorize and shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other advisors, agents or representatives (such directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, other advisors, agents and representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

(i)                                     solicit, initiate, propose, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, including (A) approving any transaction under Section 203 of the DGCL and (B) approving any person becoming an “interested stockholder” under Section 203 of the DGCL; or

(ii)                                  enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any communications, discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any person any information or data with respect to, assist or participate in any effort or attempt by any person with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Acquisition Proposal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Specified Time”), the Company may, in response to a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal made or received after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach by the Company of this Section 6.1, and where the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside counsel and independent financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the Company Board, and not earlier than 24 hours after providing the notice contemplated by 6.1(c), (x) furnish information or data with respect to the Company to the person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of the other party than the Confidentiality Agreement and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with such person and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1(a) by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.1(a) by the Company; provided that no breach of this Section 6.1(a) shall result solely

46

from the Company or its Representatives informing any person of the restrictions of this Section 6.1.

(b)                                 Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall:

(i)                                     except as set forth in this Section 6.1(b), withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to the Parent or the Merger Sub, the approval or recommendation by the Company Board or any such committee of this Agreement or the Merger;

(ii)                                  cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement (an “Acquisition Agreement”) constituting or relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in 6.1(a) entered into in the circumstances referred to in 6.1(a)); or

(iii)                               except as permitted by and in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii), adopt, authorize, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, authorize, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided the Company shall not have breached its obligations under Section 6.1(a), the Company Board may withdraw or modify the recommendation by the Company Board or any committee thereof of this Agreement or the Merger in circumstances where the Company Board has determined that a Superior Proposal is outstanding, if (A) (1) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and an independent financial advisor, that its fiduciary obligations require it to do so, but only at a time that is prior to the Specified Time and is after the third business day following the Parent’s receipt of written notice (an “Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising the Parent that the Company Board desires to withdraw or modify the recommendation (and the manner and timing in which it intends to do so) (such three business day period, the “Notice Period”), and (2) if requested by the Parent, the Company provides the Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and negotiates in good faith with the Parent with respect thereto during the Notice Period, in each case as would enable the Company Board or committee thereof to proceed with its recommendation in favor of this Agreement or the Merger, and (B) (1) such withdrawal is due to the existence of a Superior Proposal, and the Company has complied with the requirements of Section 6.1(c), including specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal, and (2) if the Parent shall have, at or prior to the end of the Notice Period, made an offer that would, upon the Company’s acceptance, be binding on the Parent and Merger Sub, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial and legal advisors) that such Superior Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal as defined below.  Any material changes to the financial terms or any material change to other material terms of such Superior Proposal occurring prior to the Company Board’s effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall require the Company to provide to the Parent a new Adverse Recommendation Notice and a new Notice Period and to comply with

47

the requirements of this Section 6.1(b) with respect to each such Adverse Recommendation Notice.  In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Specified Time, the Company Board may in response to a material development or change in circumstances occurring or arising after the date hereof that was neither known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (and not relating to any Acquisition Proposal) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), withdraw or modify its recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger if the Company Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and independent financial advisor, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the Company Board; provided that, the Company Board shall not be entitled to take such action pursuant to this sentence unless the Company has (x) provided to the Parent at least three business days’ prior written notice advising the Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail and (y) during such three business day period, if requested by the Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with the Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for taking such action as a result of the Intervening Event.  Any Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Company Board, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any state (including Delaware) corporate takeover statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Merger.

(c)                                  The Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 1 business day of receipt) advise the Parent orally, with written confirmation to follow, of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.  The Company shall (i) keep the Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis, of any material change in the status and details (including any material change to the terms, with any change in price being deemed to be material) of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, (ii) provide to the Parent as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 1 business day) after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all material documents sent or provided to the Company or its Representatives, including those provided by electronic mail, from any third party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or sent or provided by the Company or its Representatives to any third party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal (except to the extent previously furnished to the Parent) and (iii) if the Parent shall make a counterproposal, consider in good faith the terms of such counterproposal.  Contemporaneously with providing any information to a third party in connection with any such Superior Proposal or inquiry, the Company shall furnish a copy of such information to the Parent (except to the extent previously furnished to the Parent).

(d)                                 Nothing contained in Section 6.1 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9  promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any required disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable law; provided, however, that, in no event shall

48

the Company Board or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 6.1(b).

(e)                                  The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately all communications, discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.

(f)                                    For purposes of this Agreement:

“Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any inquiry, proposal or offer for a merger, consolidation, dissolution, sale of substantial assets, tender offer, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination involving the Company, (ii) any proposal for the issuance by the Company of over 15% of its outstanding equity securities or (iii) any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, over 15% of the outstanding equity securities of the Company or consolidated total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case other than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

“Superior Proposal” means any unsolicited, bona fide written proposal made by a third party to acquire 50% or more of the outstanding equity securities or substantially all of the assets of the Company, pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, a merger, consolidation or other business combination or a sale of its assets, (i) on terms which the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Company Common Stock than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after consultation with its independent financial advisor), taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any proposal by the Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement that would, upon the Company’s acceptance, be binding on the Parent and Merger Sub) and (ii) that is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal; provided, however, that no Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a Superior Proposal if any financing required to consummate the Acquisition Proposal is not committed.

6.2                                Proxy Statement.  The Company, in cooperation with the Parent, shall use reasonable best efforts to, within 20 calendar days after the date of this Agreement, prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement.  The Company shall respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff as promptly as practicable.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as practicable after the date the SEC staff advises that it has no further comments thereon or, if the SEC does not deliver any such comments on or before the tenth calendar day following the filing of the Proxy Statement or otherwise advise on or before such tenth calendar day that it shall provide comments, as promptly as practicable following such tenth calendar day; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to mail the Proxy Statement prior to the expiration of any Notice Period.  The Company shall notify the Parent promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other government officials and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other government officials for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall supply the Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or any other government officials, on

(c)                                  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall make any settlement offers or, except as directed by the Parent, negotiate any consent decree or consent order with any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Parent alone shall be responsible for making any settlement offers and negotiating any consent decree or consent order with any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Parent shall promptly communicate to the Company if any Governmental Entity suggests or proffers any settlement, consent decree or consent order, including the material terms thereof (and any written documentation provided by such Governmental Entity reflecting the same).  The Parent may accept or reject any settlement, consent decree or consent order proposed by any Governmental Entity in its sole discretion.

(d)                                 Without limiting the generality of Section 6.2(a), if any “fair price” or “control share acquisition” or “anti-takeover” statute, or other similar statute or regulation or any state “blue sky” statute shall become applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby, and otherwise act to minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

52

(a)                                  Each of the Company and the Parent shall give prompt notice to the other party if, at any time (i) any Change occurs or exists that would result in any representation or warranty of the Company or Parent, as applicable, contained in this Agreement that is qualified as to materiality (including, in the case of the Company, Company Material Adverse Effect) not being true and accurate in any respect as if such representation or warranty were made at such time, or any such representation or warranty that is not so qualified not being true and accurate in any material respect as if such representation or warranty were made at such time, or (ii) the Company or the Parent, as applicable fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall be deemed to cure any breach or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of a party or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent shall as promptly as practicable notify the other party of:

(i)                                     any written notice from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii)                                  any written notice from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iii)                               in the case of the Company only, any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or which relate to the transactions contemplated hereby.

53

in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the extent that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless and provide advancement of expenses exist on the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or any agreement listed on Section 6.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b)                                 For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Parent and the Merger Sub shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain (to the extent available in the market) in effect a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a complete and accurate copy of which has been delivered to the Parent prior to the date of this Agreement) with coverage in amount and scope at least favorable to such persons as the Company’s existing coverage; provided, that in no event shall the Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (it being understood and agreed that in the event such insurance cannot be obtained for 300% of such last annual premium or less, in the aggregate, the Surviving Corporation shall remain obligated to provided the greatest insurance coverage as may be obtained for such amount).  At the Parent’s option, the Parent or the Company may purchase prior to the Effective Time a six-year prepaid “tail policy” covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy with coverage in amount and scope at least favorable to such persons as the Company’s existing coverage, in which case the Parent and the Merger Sub shall be relieved of their obligations pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.  The Company represents and warrants that the annual premium currently paid by the Company for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is as set forth on Section 6.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(d)                                 In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety in one or a series of related transactions to any person(s), then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or such persons(s), as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9; provided that the Surviving Corporation shall not be relieved from such obligation.

(e)                                  Each of the Indemnified Parties or other persons who are beneficiaries under any insurance policy referred to in Section 6.9(b) (and their heirs and representatives) are

(b)                                 Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding and that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock that is greater than or equal to the Merger Consideration shall vest and become exercisable in full.  At the Effective Time each such option, including each unexercised non-employee director stock option granted under the Company’s 1993 Stock Option Plan Automatic Option Grant Program, shall, to the extent not exercised, terminate and cease to be outstanding, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company Stock Plan under which such option was granted and without further action of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Parent.

(c)                                  At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding as of the Effective Time shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be assumed by Parent.  Each such Company RSU so assumed by Parent under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including, if applicable, the vesting arrangements and other terms and conditions set forth in the Company Stock Plan under which such Company RSU was granted and the applicable restricted stock unit award agreement for such Company RSU (including the double trigger acceleration provisions for officers, as defined in the Company Stock Plan, as provided in the applicable Company Stock Plan and/or restricted stock unit award agreement)) as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such assumed restricted stock unit shall be for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable under such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, (ii) the vesting of such assumed restricted stock unit shall not be accelerated as a result of the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that if the service of the holder of such assumed restricted stock unit to the Surviving Corporation, the Parent or any other Affiliate of the Parent, is terminated by such entity (and in connection therewith such holder does not thereafter commence service with the Parent or an Affiliate of the Parent such that vesting of such assumed restricted stock unit would continue) on or before December 31, 2012 for a reason other than (A) a willful act by such holder that constitutes misconduct or fraud and has a material adverse effect on the entity terminating such holder or (B) a conviction of such holder of a felony crime, such assumed restricted stock unit shall upon such termination vest in full, (iii) Parent’s board of directors or a designated committee thereof shall succeed to the authority of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect such assumed restricted stock unit and (iv) Parent’s board of directors or any such designated committee thereof shall have the authority to make further changes thereto to the extent required by any applicable non-U.S. law, ordinance, rule or regulation.

(d)                                 At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the Company’s Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan (as last amended March 21, 2007), Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Program (as last amended April 16, 2002) and 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (as last amended August 9, 2011) and all unissued shares reserved for future issuance under such Company Stock Plans.  Each such Company Stock Plan so assumed by Parent under this

56

Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) the shares issuable and reserved for issuance thereunder shall consist of that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable and reserved for issuance under such Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Equity Award Exchange Ratio and (ii) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect such assumed Company Stock Plan.

6.11                           401(k) Plan.  If requested by Parent, prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company’s 401(k) plan, shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required prospectively to terminate such plan no later than the day prior to the Effective Time.  The Company shall preserve all documentation and records related to such plan.

6.12                           Stockholder Litigation.  Until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Effective Time, the Company shall give the Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company or the Company Board relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not settle any such litigation without the Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned.

57

terms of the 1989 Indenture in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “1989 Indenture Notices”).  At the Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver to Morgan Guaranty the 1989 Supplemental Indenture and shall furnish the 1989 Indenture Notices in accordance with the terms of the 1989 Indenture.

(b)                                 From and after the Effective Time and until December 31, 2012, Parent will not reduce the base salary or hourly wage rates of any Continuing Employee as in effect on the date of this Agreement (provided that Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent may terminate any Continuing Employee during such period for any reason, including, but not limited to, a termination without cause).

58

(c)                                  If the Company’s 401(k) plan is terminated prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 6.11, at the Effective Time each Continuing Employee will be eligible to participate in the Parent plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) as soon as permitted under the terms of such plan.  Parent shall take all steps reasonably necessary to permit each Continuing Employee who has an outstanding loan under the Company’s 401(k) plan to roll over such loan into an account under the Parent 401(k) Plan to the extent permitted under the Parent 401(k) Plan.

(d)                                 To the extent that any Continuing Employee becomes a participant in any Parent Plan or other material benefit arrangements after the Effective Time, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, recognize all service of such Continuing Employee with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, to the extent recognized by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to the extent service with such predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company) and reflected in the employment records of the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company, for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for accrual purposes, except for vacation and severance, if applicable) in any Parent Plan or other material benefit arrangements in which such Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate (in each case except to the extent such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits in any such plan or where such crediting is not permitted by the terms of the plan).

(e)                                  To the extent permitted under the applicable Parent Plan, Parent will waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitation, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any Parent Plan in which the Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitation, exclusions, actively-at work requirements and waiting periods would have been applicable under the comparable Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time or, if the transition occurs after December 31, 2012, the applicable Parent Plan.  “Parent Plans” means all “employee benefit plans,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained in the United States with respect to the locations at which the Continuing Employees are employed (all of the above being hereinafter individually or collectively referred to as “Parent Plan” or “Parent Plans,” respectively).

(f)                                    From and after the Effective Time and until December 31, 2012, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries to provide to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated during such period a severance payment no less than the duration of base salary called for under the Company’s existing severance matrix as provided to Parent, and such other treatment as applies under the applicable Parent Plan or practice (with COBRA to be paid as specified in Section 6.18(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule), provided that this Section 6.18(f) shall not apply to the extent an individual is covered under his or her individual change in control agreement (which will instead apply for this purpose) and shall also not apply to individuals whose employment ends for reasons that would not have entitled them to severance under the Company’s severance policies (e.g., terminations for cause) as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

59

(g)                                 Employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary employed outside of the United States will be treated in a manner consistent with applicable local law.

(h)                                 This Section 6.18 will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.18, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.18.  Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, whether Parent Plan or Company Employee Plan or (ii) shall alter or limit Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

6.19                           Continuation of Security Clearances.  Each of the Company and the Parent shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to pursue, and cooperate with the other party in pursuing, a continuation of each security clearance maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any Governmental Entity.

Exhibit 99.1

SONUS — N.E.T. CONFERENCE CALL 19 June 2012

PATTI LEAHY

Welcome everyone and thank you for joining us on short notice.  As announced this morning, we are here today to discuss Sonus Networks’ proposed acquisition of Network Equipment Technologies, also referred to as N.E.T. A presentation with supporting information is available in the Investor Relations section of our website and has also been filed as exhibits to the Form 8-K we filed this morning with the SEC.  As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded for replay purposes.

Before we begin the call, I will read a few preliminary legal notices.  The completion of the proposed acquisition described in this conference call and the press release is subject to the receipt of N.E.T.’s stockholder approval, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.  In connection with the proposed acquisition, N.E.T. will file a proxy statement with the SEC.  The definitive proxy statement will be sent or given to the stockholders of N.E.T. and will contain important information about the proposed acquisition and related matters.  N.E.T.’s stockholders are urged to read the definitive proxy statement carefully when it becomes available, before making any voting or investment decisions with respect to the proposed acquisition because they will contain important information about the acquisition and the parties to the acquisition.  These documents

1

will also be available at no charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

In addition, for purposes of Safe Harbor provisions, please note that during the course of this call, we will be making a number of forward-looking statements.  Such statements include, but are not limited to, the ability of the parties to close the acquisition and the expected closing date of the transaction; the anticipated synergies and cost savings of the proposed combination and the timing thereof; anticipated future financial and operating results; and the anticipated combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services.

Such forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of Sonus and are subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially from those described in this call due to a number of risks and uncertainties detailed in the documents filed or furnished by Sonus and N.E.T. with the SEC, including those discussed in N.E.T.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and Sonus’ most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q as well as the press release issued today, each of which is on file with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website.

2

Neither Sonus nor N.E.T. assumes any obligation or intent to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.  In addition, during this call we may also be referring to non-GAAP financial measures.

Please note that because we are currently in a quiet period, Sonus will not provide an update nor answer questions regarding the current quarter.  We ask that you please contain your questions to those pertaining to the proposed acquisition.

Speakers on the call today are Ray Dolan, President and CEO of Sonus, and Moe Castonguay, Chief Financial Officer.  Todd Abbott, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business Development is also with us to address your questions at the end of our prepared remarks.

It’s now my pleasure to introduce the Chief Executive Officer of Sonus, Ray Dolan.

RAY DOLAN

Thank you, Patti, and good morning everyone.

Today is an exciting day for Sonus as we announce the proposed acquisition of Network Equipment Technologies.  N.E.T. has decades of experience as a leading provider of enterprise-class networking solutions.

3

Both N.E.T. and Sonus are addressing the same critical industry trends.  These include major technology shifts involving the adoption of cloud services, the growing use of mobile devices in corporate networks, and the growth of Big Data, which raises the complexity of information access.

There are a number of compelling reasons for Sonus and N.E.T. to join together:

·                  First, we acquire a strong product line that expands our product portfolio for the Enterprise and Commercial market. The N.E.T. product line includes their recently announced UX family of products that will open new markets for us in the low-session count enterprise SBC market.

·                  Second, N.E.T. is a key enabler of Microsoft® Lync™ deployments which expedites Sonus’ ability to address the growing market of Microsoft UC deployments.

·                  Third, N.E.T. has a channel ecosystem which will add to the Sonus Partner Assure Program.

·                  Finally, N.E.T. also has a long history of selling to US and foreign governments which presents a new vertical market opportunity for Sonus.

I look forward to welcoming N.E.T.’s strong team of talented employees to Sonus who bring years of experience selling into

the Enterprise and Government markets, and we look forward to continuing to meet the needs of N.E.T.’s customers and partners in the future.

Now I will ask Moe to provide a brief summary of the transaction:

MOE CASTONGUAY

Thanks, Ray.

The acquisition will be effected by a cash merger at a price of $1.35 per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $42 million, excluding acquisition-related costs.  The acquisition, which is subject to N.E.T shareholder approval, regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, is expected to close in Q3.

As a result of the acquisition, Sonus expects incremental revenue of approximately $15 to $20 million in the second half of fiscal 2012, with the amount recognized dependent upon the timing of the completion of the acquisition.  Achievement of $15 million in revenue is expected to have a dilutive impact on GAAP EPS of approximately $0.03 per share in the second half of 2012 and a dilutive impact on non-GAAP EPS of approximately $0.01 per share in the same period.  Achievement of $20 million in revenue is expected to have a dilutive impact on GAAP EPS of approximately $0.02 per share in the second half of 2012 and a

5

break-even to slightly accretive impact on non-GAAP EPS in the same period.  Non-GAAP EPS excludes certain expenses, including but not limited to, acquisition-related costs, stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets.

As Patti mentioned, Sonus is currently in a quiet period and we will not be providing a financial update to our 2012 outlook, nor will we comment on N.E.T.’s financial outlook at this time.

Now I will turn the call back over to Ray.

Thanks, Moe.

Again, we are very excited about this transaction and believe it is an important step in our transformation.  I’d now like to ask the operator to open the call up for questions.

Q&A Portion

Operator:  The first question is from Natarajan Subrahmanyan “Subu” with the Judah Group:

Q:  Thank you.  Good morning.  My first question is, can you talk about your current enterprise products especially the 5100 and how this may be complimentary or overlapping with your existing enterprise strategy. I know you’ve been building your own channel and investing in that and how this would compliment or overlap with what you’ve been working with recently?

A:  Sure, Subu and thanks for joining us early out West.  I’ll hand this over to Todd to take that question.

A: So you want to think about the UX line as really extending our enterprise line below the 5100.  There is some overlap as there is between the 5100 and 5200 that’s pretty customary, but what it also does, is it gives us a fit for purpose access box for Lync environments so both lower end SPC lower end entry points from an access box as well as a fit for purpose device for Lync UC deployment.  So we look at it as very much complimentary in extending the product line into the enterprise.  From a channel perspective, it also now brings into the ecosystem a value proposition and a set of partners that are more Lync oriented partners to add to the ecosystem that we have been recruiting and developing

7

for Partner Assure so, we view it both from a partner and product line standpoint as really extensions and very complimentary.

Q:  Understood.  In terms of N.E.T. product line currently and where the pieces of the revenue of approximately 10 million quarterly run rate are coming from, how much of that is from SBC vs other products and any kind of key customers or partners for their business that are representing over 10% of revenues?

A:  Subu, this is Ray.  We don’t have that broken out and they don’t break it out.  I will say there is a material part of that revenue base that is SBC and as we get further into the integration planning and move forward for approvals we’ll get further into that detail and provide it if we can.  With regard to major customers, there’s a number of corporate accounts, enterprise accounts that they’ve secured and there are some slides on our site that call those out, but they include P&G, Shell and a number of other customers around the world.

Got it.  Thank you.

Operator:  The next question is from James Kisner at Jefferies & Co.

8

Q:  Thanks for taking my question.  So first question is for Moe - do you have any feel for cash integration costs at this point in addition to the cash price for the purchase?

A:  We obviously are adding those costs.  We have an estimate.  We will provide more clarity on that at our next call.

Q:  OK, fair enough. So I know you didn’t break out the SBC portion of revenue, but is there any sort of estimate of how much of this revenue is sort of legacy versus declining — obviously the business has been declining recently. I’m just trying to get a feel for just how much legacy revenue vs new revenue is involved if you can’t break out the SEC.

A:  James, thanks, this is Ray.   As you said, we’re not breaking that out, but what the company has done is in the last year has principally pivoted towards an enterprise-focused UX strategy and it is accelerating as part of their legacy business is declining, particularly their government business.  So I’ll let them break that out at this point in time to the extent that they can, but we’re very excited about that growing piece of the business and how it will add to our value in 2013 for all of the strategic reasons that we laid out in our script.

Q:  OK.  Just one sort of final question just sort of related to strategy.  Sort of related to Subu’s question.  Clearly you guys are already building out the SBC space.  How hard would it have been for you to really sort of build this Lync capability?

9

You’re already so far down the road on this SBC strategy. I guess I’m trying to understand, was the acquisition really necessary to get these capabilities?

A:  So, any time you do an acquisition it’s always a look at between organic vs. acquisition from a time-to-market standpoint and we believe that the business that N.E.T. has been able to establish from an enterprise standpoint - significant new customer growth each of the last several quarters and pretty robust growth from an enterprise business - and we had always planned on going lower end from an SBC product portfolio standpoint, so from a time-to-market standpoint we believe it greatly accelerates with an established channel, an established set of customers that are going to need a higher end SBC capability which they were not able to deliver and we are, and it gets us into some markets that we had not been able to penetrate yet.  I’ll use the US Federal Government as an example.  So, from an overall value proposition of time-to-market product channel and customers, we believe that it does offer tremendous value to us.

Operator:  The next question is from Ryan Hutchinson at Lazard:

Q:  Good morning, this is Trevor Bacon in for Ryan.  Quick question. Is there any current customer overlap and how do you plan to monetize N.E.T.’s customer base?  Are there any

10

integration issues that need to be addressed that we should be aware of?

A:  Hi Trevor.  Thanks for the question.  I would say if we have any customer overlap it’s minimal and I don’t think it will create any integration challenges.

Q:  OK.  Great.  In terms of monetizing N.E.T’s customer base, what’s the strategy there?

A:  We think that there’s going to be an opportunity to take what is a branch small office implementation and be able to expand it up into the enterprise core SIP infrastructure.  There’s clearly an opportunity for us to upsell there.

OK, great.  Thanks guys.

Operator:  The next question is from Jonathan Kees at Capstone:

Q:  I wanted to ask, it’s probably early on, but I assume you are already thinking about trying to integrate this with the software platforms you have with the SBC including the maintenance and operations and any idea in terms of what the timeframe is or are these going to be distinct and separate products from the rest of the system?

11

A:  The product is a standalone product and we need to get further along before we discuss integrating that into our existing product line.  Remember, we’ve still got to get this closed and get further down the path, but obviously we’ll integrate the two companies into one unified offering, so this takes what is already a strong SBC portfolio, expands it what is already a strong channel to market and expands it both in its depth as well as in its relationship with the Microsoft Lync space and that’s really what this is all about.

Q:  OK.  All right.  Certainly makes sense on paper.  Let me ask you this:  N.E.T. is going through a cost rationalization/restructuring which if I recall will reduce $18 million in costs initiated at the beginning of this year.  Is that still going to take place or are you guys still figuring out the details between that and how you’re going to integrate the company with yours?

A:   My suggestion on the N.E.T. questions is that you ask those directly.  A lot of that has already been implemented.  We’ll speak to the issues post-transaction as we get there but I think there’s an opportunity to drive scale, speed and synergies between the two companies and really continue to drive value going forward.

OK.  Good luck there, guys.

12

Operator:  The next question is from Alex Henderson with Needham.

Q:  I’m not as familiar with the terms of the N.E.T. transactions that they’re currently doing but do they run a backlog and will there be any in-process sales that will have to be written down to cost as a result of the purchase acquisition?

A:  There will be a little bit of deferred revenue that will have to be adjusted in acquisition accounting but it’s a relatively modest number.

Q:  Is it reasonable to think then that the bulk of the revenue in the first quarter post-acquisition will be an accurate appraisal of the real numbers then?

A:  As we’ve indicated, the transaction will close in the 3rd quarter and that’s why we gave a range of 15 to 20 in terms of the 2nd half, but those numbers we gave of 15 to 20 reflect the acquisition accounting adjustments.

Q:  You had programs around building out your enterprise distribution reach. Does this allow you to lower some of the costs that you would have otherwise incurred on those programs or are you going to leave those investments intact and just double up on the spend through the acquisition?

13

A:  Alex, this is Ray.  This is about speed and scale and our investments in the channel will continue.

Q:  So, no change in the channel investment cost at all?

A:  Correct.

Q:  What about on the R&D side?  I assume there’s going to be some spend necessary to build out the software integration for this platform.  Is that going to be in addition to what you’re currently spending?  How should we view that in the first year post-acquisition?

A:  It’s early in the process Alex, but I don’t think it will be a material impact on our R&D spend.

Thanks.

Operator:  The next question is from Adam Hurwig at Ulysses:

Q:  Just a quick question.  In the past you mentioned the fact that you try not to be distracted from the work you used to do at Sonus itself.  Can you give us a little bit of color on where your feelings regarding where Sonus is in light of the fact that you’re now willing to extend outward and begin acquisitions?

14

A:  Thanks, Adam.  Yes, we’ve made a lot if improvements over the 18 months or so that I’ve been part of the Sonus team so I think this is a great opportunity now that we have a strong team, strong execution and a clear strategy.  That is to expand our product portfolio in the SBC space, drive growth, expand our roots to market by opening up the channel, all of those issues are now in place and this acquisition actually adds to the value of all of those strategic initiatives. It strengthens the team, it strengthens our exposure to the SBC category and brings in some SBC related results and it exposes us to a broader set of channel partners.  It strengthens all of the pillars that will drive value going forward in 2013.

Q:  So in other words what we should take away from this is that you are very comfortable right now with where the core company stands.

A:  Yes, very comfortable with where the core company stands and now it’s about acceleration, speed and execution.  This adds to that.

Operator:  There are no further questions at this time.

Patti Leahy:

Thank you, operator.  I’d like to turn the call back to Ray for his concluding remarks:

Ray Dolan

Thank you, Patti. We are very excited about the potential for this acquisition to accelerate our efforts around the key themes that we have stated consistently during our recent earnings calls and investor presentations; namely, driving SBC growth, launching and strengthening our channel program into the enterprise and expanding our customer base.  We look forward to completing the requirements necessary to close this transaction, and moving forward to deliver value to our joint customers, partners and shareholders. Thank you again for attending today on short notice, and for your continued support of Sonus. Have a great day.
