(b) Company Capital Stock.

(i) Generally. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any additional action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.1, and throughout this Agreement, each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Treasury Stock and Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and extinguished and converted automatically into the right to receive (without interest), following the surrender of the applicable certificate(s) (or alternatively, a Lost Stock Affidavit and a Lost Certificate Indemnity Agreement) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein:

(iv) Dissenting Shares.

(A) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time eligible under Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) to exercise appraisal rights (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand, and properly demands, appraisal of such shares pursuant to Section 262, and complies in all respects with the provisions of Section 262 and has not effectively withdrawn or lost the right to demand relief as a dissenting stockholder under the DGCL as of the Effective Time shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i), and the holder or holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders in Section 262.

Any (i) payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration that otherwise would have been payable or deliverable at the time of Closing in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(i), or (ii) Damages (including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, costs and expenses and including any such fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any action or proceeding) in respect of any Dissenting Shares are collectively are referred to herein as “Dissenting Share Payments.”

Parent shall direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Surviving Entity shall not make any payment or settlement, or offer to pay or settle, prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless the Representative shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld).

2.2 Payment Procedures.

(a) Payments. At the Effective Time, and on the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Time, subject to Section 8.2(f)(iv), Parent shall deliver the Initial Cash Payment and the Final Cash Payment, respectively, to Representative on behalf of the Effective Time Stockholders, in each case, in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet and Section 2.2(c).

(b) Third Party Payments.

(i) At the Effective Time, Parent shall make, or cause to be made, the following payments:

(A) to the accounts of Persons to whom the Company Debt (if any) is owed, an amount equal to the portion of the Company Debt owing to such Persons as set forth in a Pay-Off Letter, which payments, in the aggregate, shall be sufficient to satisfy any and all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any Company Debt;

(B) to the accounts of Persons to whom Transaction Expenses (other than Change in Control Payments) are owed, as designated in the Consideration Spreadsheet, an amount equal to the Transaction Expenses owing to such Persons; and

(C) to the account of the Surviving Entity, an amount equal to the aggregate Change in Control Payments payable at the Effective Time, for distribution to the Change in Control Payment Recipients on or about the Closing Date in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet (and in the case of any payments to any Change in Control Payment Recipients who are employees of the Company through the Company’s payroll system), an amount equal to (i) the aggregate Change in Control Payments payable at the Effective Time, less (ii) the applicable withholding Taxes and Employment Taxes.

(ii) On the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall make, or cause to be made, the following payment: to the account of the Surviving Entity, an amount equal to the aggregate Change in Control Payments payable on the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Time, for distribution to the Change in Control Payment Recipients on or about the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Time, in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet (and in the case of any payments to any Change in Control Payment Recipients who are employees of the Company through the Company’s payroll system), an amount equal to (i) the aggregate Change in Control Payments payable at the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Time, less (ii) the applicable withholding Taxes and Employment Taxes; provided, however that payments under this Section 2.2(b)(ii) out of the Final Cash Payment are subject to reduction in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(f); provided further, however that no Change in Control Payment shall be made without the receipt by Parent of a Change in Control Release executed by the Change in Control Payment Recipient.

(c) Merger Consideration. Parent shall have delivered to each Effective Time Stockholder entitled to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration (as determined based on the Consideration Spreadsheet), a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a “Stockholder Transmittal Letter”), which shall (A) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to a certificate(s) representing shares of the Company Capital Stock that are being converted into the right to receive payment pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) (each, a “Company Stock Certificate”) shall pass only upon delivery of such certificate(s) to Parent after the Effective Time, (B) be in such form and have such other reasonable provisions not inconsistent with this Agreement as Parent or Representative may specify, (C) include IRS Form W-9 or applicable Form W-8 or any successor form, and (D) include instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificate(s) for that portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock represented thereby under this Agreement. The delivery of the appropriate Merger Consideration to any holder of Company Capital Stock by Parent is expressly conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a Stockholder Transmittal Letter, properly completed and duly executed by each such Effective Time Stockholder. At the Effective Time, and upon Parent’s receipt of a Company Stock Certificate (or alternatively, a Lost Stock Affidavit and a Lost Certificate Indemnity Agreement), together with a

properly completed and duly executed Stockholder Transmittal Letter, Parent shall deliver to Representative on behalf of the Effective Time Stockholder the following, each in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of the Shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificate(s) as specified on the Consideration Spreadsheet:

(A) the Initial Cash Payment, which shall be paid by Representative in the amounts of cash specified opposite such Effective Time Stockholder’s name on the Consideration Spreadsheet, upon receipt of the Stockholder Transmittal Letter and the surrender of the applicable Company Stock Certificate (or alternatively, a Lost Stock Affidavit and a Lost Certificate Indemnity Agreement);

(B) one year from the Effective Time, the Final Cash Payment to Representative, if any, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(f) to be paid out by Representative in accordance with the percentages specified opposite such Effective Time Stockholder’s name on the Consideration Spreadsheet;

and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of any portion of the applicable Initial Cash Payment or the Final Cash Payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate(s) are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment (1) shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a Person other than the registered holder of the Company Stock Certificate surrendered, and shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent and Representative that such Tax has been paid, or (2) shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent and Representative that such Tax is not applicable. From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Company Stock Certificate formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, including, without limitation, the Initial Cash Payment and the Final Cash Payment in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein.

(d) Withholding Rights. Each of the Company, Parent, Representative and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and pay over to the applicable Taxing Authorities, from the payment of any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Agreement any federal, state or foreign withholdings, taxes, excise tax, employment taxes, disability and unemployment insurance such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld and paid over with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable Laws and to request and be provided the applicable Form W-9 or W-8 or any successor form from each such Person. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid by the Company, Parent, Representative or the Surviving Entity to the applicable Taxing Authorities on behalf of the holders of Company Capital Stock, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificate(s) which formerly represented shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of (a) an affidavit of that fact by the Effective Time Stockholder in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent (a “Lost Stock Affidavit”), Parent shall pay such Effective Time Stockholder the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Effective Time Stockholder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i); provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion (acting in good faith), require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s) or agreements to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and post a bond in such sum as Parent may require, against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Entity with respect to the

Company or any its Subsidiaries) to rollover (whether by direct or indirect rollover, as selected by such participant) his or her “eligible rollover distribution” (as defined under Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) in the form of cash, a promissory note (in the case of loans) or any combination thereof from the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan for which such participant is eligible to participate following the Closing.(1) In the case of any participant with an outstanding loan balance under the Company 401(k) Plan, Parent shall permit such participant to rollover such outstanding loan balance to the Parent 401(k) Plan through a direct rollover to the extent permissible thereunder.

To the extent such Tax Returns are with respect to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, or a taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date, such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with past practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Parent shall provide Representative with a copy of each such Tax Return at least 30 days prior to the due date for such Tax Return for Representative’s review and comment. Parent shall make revisions to any such Tax Return as reasonably requested by Representative. If there is a disagreement as to whether revisions requested by the Representative should be included in any such Tax Return, the disagreement shall be submitted to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreed to by Representative and Parent for resolution (the expenses of which shall be shared equally between Parent, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand). Parent shall file such Tax Returns as finally prepared (including the resolution of the Unaffiliated Firm, if applicable). The Parties agree that for federal income Tax purposes (and to the extent permitted, for other income Tax purposes), the taxable year of the Company beginning prior to the Closing Date shall close as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the Company shall join the consolidated group of which Parent is the parent for federal income Tax purposes beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

Such cooperation shall include , upon request, the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such proceeding, investigation, audit or review and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. Parent and the Surviving Entity agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority and all legislation in respect of record retention requirements, and (ii) until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, to give Representative reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding

(1) Note to Draft: Parent to confirm that its plan accepts rollovers (including loan balances).

any such books and records and, if Representative so requests, Parent or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, will allow Representative to take possession of such books and records.

(c) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, sales, use, value added, stamp, registration, documentary, real property transfer, stamp duty, land tax, or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall be borne by Parent and Parent shall timely file all related Tax Returns.

Any Tax refunds (and interest, if any, received thereon) or benefit of crediting an overpayment (and interest, if any, received thereon) of Taxes that are received by or credited to the Parent, its Affiliates, the Company or its Subsidiaries, with respect to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, shall be for the account of the Effective Time Stockholders, and Parent shall pay or cause to be paid over to the Representative any such refund or benefit or credit (and any interest received with respect thereto) within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt or benefit thereof. Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cause any losses, deductions and credits of the Company or its Subsidiaries relating to a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date to first offset income and gain in the period or portion thereof to which they relate and thereafter carry them back to prior periods to the maximum extent permitted by Law prior to their being carried forward. Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, upon the written request of Representative, promptly file or cause to be filed any Tax Return necessary to obtain a refund of Taxes. Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall seek refunds of Taxes in the event of having a choice of whether to seek refunds or to apply overpayments of Taxes against Tax Liability for periods or portions thereof beginning after the Closing Date.

(f) Deductions. The parties agree that payments made with respect to options, Change in Control Payments, other compensatory payments, indebtedness of the Company and Transaction Expenses, to the extent such payments give rise to Tax deductions, Tax losses and Tax credits or otherwise may offset taxable income or Tax under applicable Law, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, be considered to arise in a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

(iii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or other agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company or Representative in this Agreement or in any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument entered into or delivered by the Company or

Representative under or pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;

(iv) any inaccuracy in the Consideration Spreadsheet, and any amounts paid or otherwise delivered by Representative to holders of Company Securities in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled in respect of such Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement;

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Effective Time Stockholder and Change in Control Payment Recipient and each of their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and other persons who control or are controlled by them, and their respective agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Damages directly or indirectly paid, sustained or incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties (or any of them) (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any Third Party Claims) and directly or indirectly relating to, arising out of or in connection with, any of the following:

(i) (A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement or any failure of any such representation or warranty to be true and correct, (x) as of the date hereof or (y) as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made at and as of the Closing Date, or (B) any failure of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Parent or Merger Sub in any agreement, document, schedule, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by the Parent or Merger Sub under or pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to be true and correct at and as of the date of such document, schedule, certificate or other instrument;

(i) Fraud, Willful and Knowing Breach, or Intentional Breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (A) nothing set forth in this Article VIII or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the liability of the Company Indemnitors for any

breach of this Agreement if the Merger is not consummated (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Parent and/or Merger Sub), (B) nothing set forth in this Article VIII or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit any claim or cause of action under applicable Laws against, or the liability of, any Person committing (or complicit in the commission of) intentional fraud, willful and knowing breach or intentional breach of the Merger Agreement, it being understood that such Person shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold the Parent Indemnified Parties harmless for, any Damages suffered or incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties, or any of them, directly or indirectly, relating to, arising out of or in connection with such intentional fraud, willful and knowing breach or intentional breach without giving effect to the limitations in this Section 8.2(c).

(ii) Cap. Without limiting Section 8.2(c)(i), if the Merger is consummated, (A) the Company Indemnitors shall not be liable for any Damages indemnifiable pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(a)(iii) in excess of the Final Cash Payment and the Parent Indemnified Parties are limited to seeking recovery therefore against the amount of the Final Cash Payment (“General Cap”); and (B) the Company Indemnitors shall not be liable for any Damages indemnifiable pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii), 8.2(a)(iv), 8.2(a)(v), and 8.2(a)(vi) that, in the aggregate, exceed the Merger Proceeds; provided, however, that any successful Indemnification Claims under this Article VIII related to Damages indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii), 8.2(a)(iv), 8.2(a)(v), and 8.2(a)(vi) shall not serve to reduce the amount of the General Cap.

(d) Exclusive Remedy.

(e) Indemnification Procedures.

(i) If an Indemnified Party is of the opinion that it has or may acquire a right to indemnification under this Article VIII (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), such Indemnified Party may so notify Representative or Parent, as applicable (and in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from a Company Indemnitor, such Company Indemnitor) in a written notice, signed by such Indemnified Party, or any officer thereof (each, an “Officer’s Certificate”): (A) stating that such Indemnified Party has directly or indirectly paid, sustained or incurred any Damages, or reasonably anticipates that it will directly or indirectly pay, sustain or incur any Damages; (B) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Damages included in the amount so stated (and the method of computation of each such item of Damages, if applicable), the date each such item of Damages was paid, sustained or incurred, or the basis for such reasonably anticipated Damages; (C) providing a brief description in reasonable detail (to the extent available to such Parent Indemnified Party) of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to each item of Damages based on such Parent Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof; and (D) stating the basis for indemnification under Section 8.2 to which such item of Damages is related.

(ii) If Representative or Parent, as applicable (or in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from a Company Indemnitor, such Company Indemnitor) shall not object in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(e)(iii) to any individual items of Damages set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by Parent or Representative pursuant to Section 8.2(e)(i) within 30 calendar days after Parent’s or Representative’s (or such Company Indemnitor’s, as applicable) receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, then: (A) the applicable Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged and irrevocably consented, for and on behalf of the Company Indemnitors (with respect to Representative) or itself (with respect to a claim brought against a Company Indemnitor or Parent), (1) to the applicable Indemnified Party’s recovery of the full amount of all such items of Damages set forth in such Officer’s Certificate, and (2) if and to the extent necessary, and without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Company Indemnitors (with respect to a claim administered by Representative) or against the Indemnitor in question (with respect to a claim brought against a Company Indemnitor or Parent) for such items of Damages in any court having competent jurisdiction over the matter; (B) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by Parent Indemnified Parties that are resolved prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Final Cash Payment shall be reduced by the amount of such Indemnification Claim; (C) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties that are resolved after to the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, (1) with respect to an Indemnification Claim administered by the Representative, within 10 Business Days after resolution thereof, Representative shall deliver, on behalf of the Company Indemnitors, the full amount of indemnifiable Damages set forth in such Officer’s Certificate, and (2) with respect to an Indemnification Claim brought against a Company Indemnitor, such

Indemnitor shall pay to the Parent Indemnified Parties, within 10 business days after resolution thereof, the full amount of indemnifiable Damages set forth in such Officer’s Certificate; and (D) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by Representative, within 10 Business Days after resolution thereof, Parent shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Representative, for distribution to the Company Indemnitors, the full amount of indemnifiable Damages set forth in such Officer’s Certificate.

(iii) In the event that Parent or Representative (or, in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from a Company Indemnitor, such Company Indemnitor) shall seek to contest any individual items of Damages set forth in an Officer’s Certificate received pursuant to Section 8.2(e)(i), the applicable Indemnifying Party shall notify Parent or Representative, as applicable, in writing, within 30 calendar days after receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, of the applicable Indemnifying Party’s objection, which notice shall set forth a brief description in reasonable detail of such Indemnifying Party’s basis for objecting to each item of Damages. Upon receipt of such written notice of objection delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence, the applicable Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to the disputed items of Damages and the Indemnifying Parties’ representatives and agents shall be given reasonable access during Parent’s or Representative’s, as applicable, normal business hours as they may reasonably require to the books and records of the Surviving Entity or Representative, as applicable, for the purposes of investigating or resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Officer’s Certificate, subject, in the case of an Indemnitor, to the execution of a non-disclosure agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parties. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth the agreement reached by the Parties with respect to such disputed items of Damages shall be prepared and signed by both Parties (a “Memorandum”), and (A) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties resolved prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Final Cash Payment shall be reduced by the amount of such Indemnification Claim; (B) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties resolved after the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, (1) within 10 Business Days after resolution thereof, Representative shall deliver, on behalf of the Company Indemnitors, the full amount of indemnifiable Damages set forth in such Memorandum, and (2) with respect to an Indemnification Claim brought against a Company Indemnitor, such Indemnitor shall pay to the Parent Indemnified Parties, within 10 business days after resolution thereof, the full amount of indemnifiable Damages set forth in such Memorandum; and (C) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by Representative, within 10 Business Days after resolution thereof, Parent shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Representative, for distribution to the Company Indemnitors, the full amount of indemnifiable Damages set forth in such Memorandum.

(iv) If within 60 days after the applicable Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, and after good faith negotiations, the Parties are unable to agree on the rights of the respective Parties with respect to any disputed items of Damages set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, any Party may elect for such claim or dispute to be finally settled by binding arbitration in New York, New York in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment rendered upon the award may be entered in any court having personal jurisdiction over the judgment debtor. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator chosen by mutual agreement of Parent and Representative (or the applicable Company Indemnitor). The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the Parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator to discover relevant information from the opposing Parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions for discovery abuses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon (x) in the case of an Indemnification Claim

administered by Representative or against Parent, the Parties (including all of the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnitors), or (y) in the case of an Indemnification Claim brought against a Company Indemnitor, Parent and such Company Indemnitor, and Parent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision, and, if applicable (A) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties resolved prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Final Cash Payment shall be reduced by the amount of such Indemnification Claim; (B) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties resolved after the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date (1) with respect to an Indemnification Claim delivered to Representative, within 10 Business Days after the arbitrator’s decision is rendered, Representative shall deliver, on behalf of the Company Indemnitors, the full amount of indemnifiable Damages pursuant to such decision, and (2) with respect to an Indemnification Claim brought against an Indemnitor, such Indemnitor shall pay to the Parent Indemnified Party, within 10 business days after the arbitrator’s decision is rendered, the full amount of such indemnifiable Damages pursuant to such decision; and (C) with respect to Indemnification Claims made by Representative, within 10 Business Days after the arbitrator’s decision is rendered, Parent shall deliver to Representative, for distribution to the Company Indemnitors, the full amount of indemnifiable Damages pursuant to such decision. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s), including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs awarded to the prevailing Party. Until the termination of the arbitration proceedings, the fees and costs of the arbitrator shall be borne as follows: 50% shall be borne by Parent and 50% shall be borne proportionately by the Company Indemnitors and following the termination of the arbitration proceedings the fees and costs of the arbitrator shall be allocated and paid as directed by the arbitrator.

(f) Payment of Indemnification Claims from the Final Cash Payment.

(i) Prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall seek to recover amounts in respect of Indemnification Claims under this Agreement by reducing the Final Cash Payment by the amount of such Indemnification Claims prior to seeking to recover amounts in respect of such Indemnification Claims directly from any Indemnitor provided, however, that to the extent any amounts reduce the Final Cash Payment pursuant to Indemnification Claims brought pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii), 8.2(a)(iv), 8.2(a)(v), 8.2(a)(vi) and 8.2(a)(vii), such recovered amounts shall not reduce the amount that the Parent Indemnified Parties may recover pursuant to Indemnification Claims pursuant to clauses Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(a)(iii).

(ii) Promptly after the Survival Date, Parent will notify Representative in writing of the amount that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all Indemnification Claims that have been asserted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Mountain time) on the Survival Date (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Amount”). Subject to Section 8.2(f)(iv), within 10 business days following the Survival Date, Parent shall deliver to Representative for distribution to the Company Indemnitors, an amount, if any, equal to (A) the amount of the Final Cash Payment as of the Survival Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (B) the Retained Amount, with each Indemnitor to receive a portion thereof equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the amount to be so released by (2) such Company Indemnitor’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Merger Proceeds.

(iii) Following the Survival Date, after resolution and payment of a Continuing Claim, Parent shall, subject to Section 8.2(f)(iv), promptly release the Retained Amount to Representative for distribution to the Company Indemnitors, in an amount equal to (A) the amount remaining in the Final Cash Payment as of the date of such resolution and payment minus (B) the amounts that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy other Continuing Claims, with each Company Indemnitor to receive a portion thereof equal to the product obtained by multiplying

(1) the amount to be so released by (2) such Company Indemnitor’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Merger Proceeds.

(iv) With respect to any amount to be released from the Final Cash Payment to the Company Indemnitors pursuant to this Section 8.2(f)(iv): (A) if any Company Stockholder has not executed and delivered a properly completed Stockholder Transmittal Letter and surrendered such Company Indemnitor’s Company Stock Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b) (the “Payment Conditions”) prior to the delivery to Representative of any portion of the Final Cash Payment, then any amount that would otherwise be released to such Company Stockholder shall be held by Representative, without interest, until such Company Stockholder satisfies the applicable Payment Conditions; (B) any amount that would otherwise be released to an Indemnitor shall be subject to Section 2.2(d); and (C) each distribution to be made from the Final Cash Payment to a particular Company Stockholder shall be effected in accordance with the payment delivery instructions set forth in such Company Stockholder’s Stockholder Transmittal Letter (unless Representative or the Company Stockholder provides Parent with written updated payment delivery instructions no later than the date that is two Business Days after the Survival Date).

(g) Company Indemnitors. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Charter or Bylaws of the Company, or in any agreement between the Company and any Company Indemnitor to the contrary entered into prior to the Closing, in no event shall the Surviving Entity, as the successor in interest to the Company by virtue of the Merger, or Parent, be obligated to reimburse, contribute, indemnify or hold harmless any Company Indemnitor in its capacity as a former holder of Company Securities for or in connection with any Damages or obligations of the Company under this Section 8.2(g).

(h) Third Party Actions. In the event any Action is instituted against an Indemnified Party which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve an Indemnification Claim hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party will, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Action, notify Parent or Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from a Company Indemnitor, such Company Indemnitor) of the commencement thereof. The failure to so notify the applicable Party of the commencement of any such Action will relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability in connection therewith to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the defense of such Action. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to control the defense and settlement of such Action; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party and its counsel (at the sole expense of such Indemnified Party) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Action; provided further that, in the event the Indemnifying Party chooses not to control the defense and settlement of such Action, except with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, no settlement of any such Action with third party claimants shall be made. In the event that the Indemnifying Party has consented to any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any such Indemnification Claim against the Final Cash Payment, or against the Indemnifying Party directly, as the case may be, with respect to such settlement.

(i) Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Parties agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to treat) any payments received pursuant to Section 8.2 as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(j) Reliance. No Parent Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement set forth in this Agreement or the Related Agreements in order for such Parent Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification hereunder except in the case of a claim for intentional fraud.

8.3 Representative. As a result of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder by the Company Stockholders, the Company Indemnitors hereby appoint Representative as their true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on him or her under this Agreement.

(a) Powers of Representative.

(i) Representative shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred upon him or her pursuant to this Agreement, which shall include:

(A) The power to execute any agreement or instrument in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for and on behalf of the Indemnitors;

(B) The power to give or receive any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, to be given or received by any Indemnitor, and each of them (other than notice for service of process relating to any Action before a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction that is not limited to claims against the Final Cash Payment, which notice must be given to each Indemnitor individually, as applicable), and to take any and all action for and on behalf of Indemnitors, and each of them, under this Agreement or any other such agreement, document or instrument;

(C) The power to give or receive any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, to be given or received by any Indemnitor, and each of them (other than notice for service of process relating to any Action before a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction that is not limited to claims against the Final Cash Payment, which notice must be given to each Indemnitor individually, as applicable), and to take any and all action for and on behalf of Indemnitors, and each of them, under this Agreement or any other such agreement, document or instrument;

(D) The power to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Indemnitors;

(E) The power to review, negotiate and agree to and authorize any payments from the Final Cash Payment or otherwise in satisfaction of any payment obligation, in each case, on behalf of the Indemnitors, as contemplated thereunder;

(F) The power to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Indemnitors (other than the payment of the portion of the Merger Consideration that is payable or otherwise deliverable as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein); and

(G) The power to take any actions in regard to such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or as Representative reasonably believes are in the best interests of the Indemnitors;

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the powers conferred above shall not authorize or empower Representative to settle any Indemnification

Claim to the extent such settlement provides for the direct recovery of Damages by a Parent Indemnified Party from any Indemnitor (i.e., beyond the Final Cash Payment).

(b) Representations of Representative. Representative hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

(i) Representative has all necessary limited partnership power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out his, her or its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Representative, enforceable against Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles and the laws of agency.

(c) Representative Procedures upon Receipt of Indemnification Claims. Representative shall have the discretion to take such action as he or she shall determine to be in the best interest of all of the Company Indemnitors, including authorizing the distribution to any Parent Indemnified Party of any portion of the Final Cash Payment; provided, however, that, in any event, all Company Indemnitors are treated in substantially the same manner.

(d) Notices. Any notice given to Representative following the Closing will constitute notice to each and all of the Indemnitors at the time notice is given to Representative. Any action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Indemnitors. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Entity may, and Parent will, disregard any notice or instruction received from any one or more individual Indemnitors.

(e) Agreement of Representative. Representative hereby agrees to do such acts, and execute further documents, as shall be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) Limitation on Liability. Representative shall not be liable to any Indemnitor for any act done or omitted hereunder as Representative while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company Indemnitors shall severally, based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages (but not jointly), indemnify and defend Representative and hold Representative harmless against any Damages (each, a “Representative Loss”) relating to, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of Representative’s duties hereunder, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided that in the event it is finally determined by a court of law that such Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Representative, Representative will reimburse the Indemnitors the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to Representative by the Indemnitors, any such Representative Loss may be recovered by Representative from the amounts in the Final Cash Payment at such time as remaining amounts held in the Final Cash Payment would otherwise be distributable to the Indemnitors; provided, that while this section allows Representative to be paid from the Final Cash Payment, this does not relieve the Indemnitors from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In all questions arising under this Agreement, Representative will not be liable to the Company

Stockholders who hold securities at or prior to the Effective Time for anything done or omitted while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(g) Representative Expense. At Closing, as set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet, the Effective Time Stockholders and the Change in Control Payment recipients and agree that $50,000.00 (the “Representative Holdback Amount”) of the Initial Payment shall be placed into a segregated bank account of Representative. Representative shall have the right to recover, at its sole discretion, from the Representative Holdback Amount, any amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to the expense reimbursement and indemnification provisions of this Section 8.3. In addition, and to the extent the Representative Holdback Amount is exhausted, Representative may withhold fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Representative in the execution of its responsibilities hereunder from the amounts otherwise payable to the Indemnitors pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i).

8.4 Reliance on Representative. Parent and its respective Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity) shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Representative and treat such Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Indemnitor and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Agreement. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity) shall be liable to any Indemnitor for any actions taken or omitted by them in reliance upon any instructions, notice or other instruments delivered by Representative. No resignation of Representative shall become effective unless at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the replacement or resignation of such Representative shall be provided to Parent. Parent and its respective Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity) shall be entitled to rely at any time after receipt of any such notice on the most recent notice so received. The Indemnitors who represent a majority in interest in the Final Cash Payment may remove Representative by a written instrument delivered to Representative, Parent and the Company, and, in such event and also if Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, its successor who shall serve and exercise the powers of Representative hereunder shall be appointed by a written instrument signed by the Effective Time Stockholders who represent a majority in interest in the Final Cash Payment delivered to Parent.

9.4 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements and other provisions set forth in this Agreement and made by or on behalf of any of the Parties shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs and permitted assigns of such Party, whether or not so expressed. Except as otherwise provided herein, none of the Parties may assign or transfer any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent in writing of the Company, Parent and Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent from merging the Surviving Entity with and into Parent or assigning any of Parent’s rights hereunder to a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent following the Effective Time.

9.5 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions set forth herein is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected (so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party), it being intended that each of the Parties’ rights and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and any such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction (so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party). In such case, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to replace the illegal, invalid or enforceable provision with a legal, valid and enforceable provision that reflects the Parties’ intent as closely as possible.

9.6 Specific Performance. Time is of the essence. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, except as expressly limited or qualified with respect to periods on or after the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Article VII, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity and the Parties hereby agree to waive any requirements for posting a bond in connection with any such action.

9.7 Other Remedies. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article VIII, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

9.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule (and all exhibits and schedules thereto) and all Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, and all other agreements referred to herein, including the Related Agreements and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, set forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

9.9 Third Parties. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or any other certificate, document, instrument or agreement executed in connection herewith nor be relied upon, other than by the Parties, the Parent Indemnified Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

9.10 Governing Law. This Agreement, including the validity hereof and the rights and obligations of the Parties, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely in such state (without giving effect to the

conflicts of laws provisions thereof); provided that applicable Delaware Law governing business combinations shall govern where applicable.

9.11 Consent to Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that any legal proceeding by or against any Party hereto or with respect to or arising out of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the State of New York, County of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to the appellate courts therefrom solely for the purposes of disputes arising under this Agreement and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever. The Parties irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such Party to which notices are deliverable hereunder. Any such service of process shall be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Laws. The Parties hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process, (ii) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, or (iii) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any Party is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnification Claims shall be governed by the terms of Section 8.2.

9.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (which may be by facsimile or in the form of a .pdf file) and by the different Parties on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
