The Company as the surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.”

2.3 Effective Time. At the Closing, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as required by and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the date and time of such filing, or such later date and time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger by mutual agreement of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, being the “Effective Time”).

2.4 Effect of the Merger.

(a) At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL, including Section 251 thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall have all the properties, rights, privileges, purposes and powers, and debts, duties, and liabilities, of the Company.

(b) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time:

(i) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time so as to read as set forth on Exhibit B and as so amended and restated shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation.

(ii) At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time so as to read as set forth on Exhibit C and as so amended and restated shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate or

incorporation and bylaws. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation.

2.6 Conversion of Company Capital Stock.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE II (including Section 2.13) and ARTICLE IX, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the holders thereof:

(i) each share of Series A-l Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Series A-l Preferred Stock to be canceled or which remain outstanding pursuant to Section 2.7 and Dissenting Shares) will be converted automatically into the right to receive the Series A-l Per Share Amount in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding Taxes (the “Series A-l Merger Consideration”); and

(ii) each share of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Common Stock to be canceled or which remain outstanding pursuant to Section 2.7 and Dissenting Shares) will be converted automatically into the right to receive the Common Per Share Amount in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding Taxes (the “Common Merger Consideration,” and any of the Common Merger Consideration or the Series A-l Merger Consideration is also referred to as the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) Upon conversion of the Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.6, each holder of a Certificate representing any such Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, subject to this ARTICLE II and ARTICLE IX, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof (or upon compliance with Section 2.15), without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding Taxes.

2.7 Treatment of Stock Held by the Company. Any shares of Common Stock owned by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled without any conversion thereof pursuant to Section 2.6(a), and no payment shall be made with respect thereto. Each share of the Company Capital Stock owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (other than Merger Sub) shall remain outstanding as shares in the Surviving Corporation, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto, and no conversion thereof shall be made pursuant to Section 2.6.

2.8 Dissenting Shares.

(a) The Company shall comply with all requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL and shall keep Parent promptly informed of all matters relating thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but only to the extent required by the DGCL, any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by any holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger and is otherwise entitled to demand, and who properly demands, to receive payment of the fair value for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted pursuant to Section 2.6(a) into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration unless such holder fails to perfect or otherwise effectively withdraws or loses such holder’s right to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or loses its right to demand or receive such payment, such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, pursuant to Section 2.6(a).

(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice and a copy of any notice of a Stockholder’s demand for payment or objection to the Merger, of any request to withdraw a demand for payment and of any other instrument delivered to it pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands, objections and requests. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to any such demands, objections and requests and shall not settle (or offer to settle) any such demands, objections and requests or approve any withdrawal of the same.

2.9 Restricted Shares; Stock Options.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE II (including Section 2.13) and ARTICLE IX, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is subject to vesting, repurchase by the Company or other lapse restrictions pursuant to the Purchase Agreements or otherwise (collectively, “Restricted Shares”) shall vest and become free of such restrictions and be converted into only the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the Common Merger Consideration.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE II (including Section 2.13) and Article IX, immediately following the Effective Time, each Stock Option that is outstanding and not exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall be canceled and extinguished and converted into only the right to receive an amount of cash, without interest thereon and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes, equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Common Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share of such Stock Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Stock Option is exercisable (assuming for this purpose, full exercisability with full acceleration of and lapse of any vesting restrictions) immediately prior to the Effective Time (such amount payable in respect of each share of Common Stock covered by such a Stock Option, the “Option Consideration”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Option Consideration shall be paid in respect of any Stock Option more than five years after the Closing Date. At the Effective Time, each Stock Option for which the exercise price per share exceeds the Common Per Share Amount shall be cancelled and terminated without any consideration paid therefor and without any further obligation or liability on the part of the Company.

(d) To the extent any deductions attributable to payments to the holders of Stock Options and Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9 may be allocable to the Closing Date, they shall be treated for United States federal income tax purposes (and any similar provisions under state, local or foreign Laws) as occurring on the day after the Closing Date pursuant to the “next day rule” of Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

2.10 Payments Certificate.

(a) No later than five (5) days prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver to Parent a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, of its President (the “Payments Certificate”) setting forth the Company’s and the Stockholders’ Agent’s estimate as of the Closing of:

(b) Each of the Company and the Stockholders’ Agent understands that Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on such certificate for the purposes of making any payments hereunder.

2.11 Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate representing any shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall continue after the Effective Time to represent ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.12 Payment Mechanics.

(a) Designation of Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company to act as the Paying Agent in the Merger.

(b) Deposit With Paying Agent. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time and in all events within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall remit to the Paying Agent cash in an amount necessary to pay to all Stockholders (other than holders of Dissenting Shares) the applicable Merger Consideration and Option Consideration to which they are entitled hereunder, less any amounts to be deposited into the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.13.

(c) Mailing of Letters of Transmittal; Exchange. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that represented immediately prior to the Effective Time outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock and to each holder of Stock Options to be exchanged pursuant to Sections 2.6 or 2.9, as applicable, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates (if applicable) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (if applicable) to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, including acknowledgement of the provisions of ARTICLE IX) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the applicable Merger Consideration or Option Consideration therefor. Upon surrender of a Certificate (if applicable) to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor payment of the applicable Merger Consideration or Option Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.6 or 2.9 (but subject to Section 2.13), after giving effect to any applicable withholding Taxes, and the Certificate (if applicable) so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.

(d) Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration or Option Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate (if applicable) for the related shares of Company Capital Stock or the Person in whose

name the Stock Option surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, then it will be a condition to such payment that (i) the Certificate (if applicable) so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such exchange will have paid any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than the registered holder or will have established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(e) Unclaimed Amounts. At any time following six (6) months after the Effective Time, all cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.12(b) that remains undistributed to the Stockholders shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and thereafter the affected Stockholders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof and subject to this ARTICLE II. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Stockholders’ Agent shall be liable to any Stockholder for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Withholding of Tax. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent (each, a “Payor”) will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Stockholder such amounts as the applicable Payor shall determine in good faith that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the regulations promulgated and rulings issued thereunder (the “Code”), or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Laws relating to Taxes, (i) with respect to payroll tax and income tax withholding, in accordance with the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.12(f) attached hereto, subject to adjustments at Closing, and (ii) otherwise (including with respect to backup withholding), in accordance with applicable Laws as determined in good faith by the Payor. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by a Payor, such withheld amounts shall be paid to the applicable Governmental Authority and will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Stockholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Company shall be responsible for determining, in compliance with all applicable Law, and Schedule 2.12(f) attached hereto shall include, all payroll tax, withholding, and reporting obligations with respect to the holders of Restricted Shares and Stock Options. The Company shall deliver Schedule 2.12(f) to Parent no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Time.

2.13 Escrow.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE II, at the Effective Time and subject to and in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE IX and the Escrow Agreement, Parent shall pay to the Escrow Agent, for deposit into an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) on behalf of the Stockholders and Stock Option holder, an aggregate amount equal to $700,000 (as increased from time to time by the amount of any interest, dividends, earnings and other income on such amount, the “Escrow Amount”), which amount shall be deemed to reduce the Merger Consideration payable under this ARTICLE II and which shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with ARTICLE IX and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Fund shall be held in escrow and shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Persons as provided in ARTICLE IX. To the extent not used for such purposes, such funds shall be released as provided in ARTICLE IX hereof. Each Stockholder and Stock Option holder shall be deemed to have contributed an amount to the Escrow Fund equal to (i) the Escrow Amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of consideration payable to such holder under this ARTICLE II and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of consideration payable to all such holders (including holders of Dissenting Shares, if any, assuming that they had not asserted appraisal rights) under this ARTICLE II. Each Stockholder’s allocable interest in the Escrow Fund (calculated as a percentage based on such Stockholder’s contribution amount pursuant to the foregoing sentence relative to all contributed amounts to the Escrow Fund) is referred to herein as a Stockholder’s “Sharing Percentage.”

2.14 Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Consideration and Option Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE II (including amounts paid into the Escrow Fund pursuant to this ARTICLE II) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Capital Stock (including any rights to receive accumulated but undeclared dividends on such Company Capital Stock). At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock on the records of the Surviving Corporation, and from and after the Effective Time, the Stockholders shall cease to have any rights (including any rights to receive accumulated but undeclared dividends on any Company Capital Stock) with respect thereto except as otherwise provided for herein. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE II.

2.15 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates representing Company Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay the applicable Merger Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates only upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and the delivery of such other documents reasonably requested by the Paying Agent and Parent.

2.16 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date (the “Closing Date”) that is the third (3^rd) Business Day after all the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII shall have been satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 11.2), unless another time and/or date is agreed to by Parent and the Company. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, XxXxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 or such other place as Parent and the Company otherwise agree.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders shall not be responsible for, and shall not be required to pay, Taxes to the extent that such Taxes have been taken into account as Company Transaction Expenses pursuant to this Agreement and have thereby reduced the Calculation Amount.

The Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control, through counsel of its own choosing subject to the written consent of the Stockholders’ Agent with such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld, any audit, claim for refund or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability with respect to which indemnification may be sought under Section 9.4 (any such audit, claim for refund or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability is referred to herein as a “Tax Claim”), and the Stockholders’ Agent shall have the right, at its own expense, only to participate in such audit, claims and proceedings.

(e) The Stockholders’ Agent, the Stockholders, the Company, and Parent shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, auditors and other representatives to reasonably cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes (including by maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim).

(f) Parent shall pay all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other substantially similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties, interest and expenses incurred in filing necessary Tax Returns) incurred in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) when due, and Parent will file (and provide simultaneous copies to the Stockholders’ Agent of) all necessary Tax Returns or other forms associated with Transfer Taxes and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, provided that 50% of the Transfer Taxes shall be included in Company Transaction Expenses.

(g) The Company shall cause all Tax allocation, Tax indemnity or Tax sharing agreement or similar contracts or arrangements with respect to the Company to be terminated as of the Closing and shall ensure that such agreements are of no further force or effect as to the

the date that is one year following the Closing Date (the “Claim Period”) a notice signed by Parent (a “Claim Notice”), stating that an indemnification claim or claims is or are being made (describing the basis for the claim and the claimed Losses with reasonable specificity), subject to any applicable limitations in Section 9.4, then, subject to the provisions of Sections 9.7 and 9.8, Escrow Agent shall forward to Parent an amount equal to the Losses claimed in the Claim Notice.

9.7 Objections to Claims.

(a) For a period of thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Claim Notice to the Stockholders’ Agent and the Escrow Agent (the “Claim Notice Waiting Period”), Escrow Agent shall make no payment pursuant to Section 9.6, unless the Stockholders’ Agent shall have provided express written authorization to make such payment. After the expiration of the Claim Notice Waiting Period, Escrow Agent shall make a payment in accordance with Section 9.6 as soon as practicable unless the Stockholders’ Agent shall have objected in a written statement delivered to Parent and the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Claim Notice Waiting Period (describing the basis for any objection with reasonable specificity under the circumstances) to the claim made in the Claim Notice. Escrow Agent shall retain the disputed amounts, and in no event shall any amounts be released from the Escrow Amount, with respect to an item in dispute until such dispute has been finally resolved pursuant to Section 9.11.

(b) Upon the expiration of the Claim Period, if Escrow Agent has retained any Retained Escrow Amount, then Parent and Escrow Agent shall notify the Stockholders’ Agent of such retention by Escrow Agent. The Stockholders’ Agent shall have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of such notice from Parent to object to Parent’s determination of such amount by delivery of a written statement (describing the basis for any objection with reasonable specificity under the circumstances), unless already objected to pursuant to Section 9.7(a). During such period, Escrow Agent shall retain the Retained Escrow Amount unless Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Stockholder’s Agent to release such amounts. If the Stockholders’ Agent shall have objected to the Retained Escrow Amount in accordance with this Section 9.7(b) or Section 9.7(a), then the dispute shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.8. If Stockholders’ Agent shall not have objected to the Retained Escrow Amount pursuant to this Section 9.7(b) or Section 9.7(a), then Stockholders’ Agent shall have waived any objection to the Retained Escrow Amount, and such amount shall thereafter be paid to Parent as the Retained Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 9.5. Until any dispute regarding the amount of the Retained Escrow Amount is resolved, Escrow Agent shall retain the full amount of the Retained Escrow Amount.

9.8 Resolution of Conflicts.

(a) If the Stockholders’ Agent shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Claim Notice or the amount of any Retained Escrow Amount, pursuant to Section 9.7, then the Stockholders’ Agent and Parent shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such disputes.

(b) If the Stockholders’ Agent and Parent should so agree within such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such agreement and shall pay

or retain, as applicable, the amount so agreed upon. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation during such thirty (30) day period, then Parent or Stockholders’ Agent may institute dispute resolution proceedings in accordance with Section 11.12 to resolve any such dispute. Each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent shall in all instances seek to resolve such disputes in as expeditious a manner as practicable.

9.9 Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the case of any claim for indemnification hereunder arising out of a claim, action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened to be brought by any third party, other than a claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.3(c), 9.3(d) or 9.3(f) (a “Third-Party Claim”), Parent shall, in addition and at the same time of the delivery of a Claim Notice, give the Stockholders’ Agent copies of any written claims, process or legal pleadings with respect to such Third-Party Claim promptly after such documents are received by Parent.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.9(b), Parent shall be entitled to control the defense of any Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Stockholders’ Agent may elect, at the Stockholders’ Agent’s own cost and expense, to participate in any Third-Party Claim. If the Stockholders’ Agent elects to participate in the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Stockholders’ Agent shall, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the notice provided pursuant to Section 9.9(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), notify the Indemnified Person of its intent to do so. The Stockholders’ Agent and each Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate in the compromise of, or defense against, such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of Stockholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Parent elects not to compromise or defend against a Third-Party Claim, Stockholders’ Agent shall control the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Stockholders’ Agent shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such judgment or settlement provides solely for money damages or other money payments for which each Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder and includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) The Indemnified Persons’ costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of Third-Party Claims may constitute Losses incurred or suffered by Parent.

9.10 Mitigation. No payments under this ARTICLE IX shall be made for any Losses that are recovered by Indemnified Persons from any third party (including insurers). To the extent the Indemnified Persons receive any payment pursuant to any insurance policies as to a claim with respect to which it has previously received payment in accordance with this ARTICLE IX, then in such event the Indemnified Persons shall promptly reimburse such payment for the full amount previously received.

9.11 Non-Exclusive Remedy for Fraud or Willful Misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE IX for claims based on fraud or willful misconduct by

the Company, the sole remedy of Indemnified Persons shall be against the recipient of Series A-l Merger Consideration in an amount not to exceed the Series A-1 Merger Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, remedies for such claims may be sought without regard to the cap set forth in Section 9.4(b) or the expiration of any survival period set forth in Section 9.2, subject to applicable Law.

9.12 Adjustment to Purchase Price. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

9.13 Enforcement. The provisions of this ARTICLE IX are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Agent shall have full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of all of the Stockholders.

(b) Authorization. By their approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Stockholders hereby authorize the Stockholders’ Agent, on the Stockholders’ behalf, to:

All actions, decisions and instructions of the Stockholders’ Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Stockholders, and no Stockholder shall have any claim or cause of action against the Stockholders’ Agent, and the Stockholders’ Agent shall have no liability to any Stockholder, for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Stockholders’ Agent in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except in the case of the Stockholders’ Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Agent may, in all questions arising under this Agreement, rely on the advice of counsel, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Stockholders’ Agent in accordance with such advice, the Stockholders’ Agent shall not be liable to the Stockholders or the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Indemnification of Stockholders’ Agent; Compensation. The Stockholders’ Agent shall be indemnified for and shall be held harmless by the Stockholders (but not out of the Escrow Fund) against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Stockholders’ Agent relating to the Stockholders’ Agent’s conduct in his capacity as Stockholders’ Agent, other than such losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from the Stockholders’ Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with his performance under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The indemnification under this Section 10.1(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The costs of such indemnification (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this right of indemnification) shall be the responsibility of the Stockholders (but not out of the Escrow fund) based on their Sharing Percentage, and Parent shall have no liability therefor. The Stockholders’ Agent shall not receive any compensation for his services hereunder, other than reimbursement by the Stockholders, based on their Sharing Percentage, of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of the Stockholders’ Agent’s duties.

(d) Access to Information. Subject to any attorney-client or similar legal privileges, Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Agent reasonable access, subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions, to information relating to any Indemnity Claim that is in the possession or control of Parent, and Parent shall make available the reasonable assistance of the Surviving Corporation’s officers and employees for purposes of performing the Stockholders’ Agent’s duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including for the purpose of evaluating any Indemnity Claim; provided that the Stockholders’ Agent shall treat confidentially and shall not disclose any nonpublic information from or concerning any Indemnity Claim to any Person (other than, on a need-to-know basis, to (i) the Stockholders’ Agent’s attorneys, accountants or other advisers, (ii) the Stockholders and (iii) any arbitrators appointed to resolve disputes pursuant to this Agreement).

(e) Reasonable Reliance. In the performance of his duties hereunder, the Stockholders’ Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed by him to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by any Stockholder or Parent. The Stockholders’ Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(f) Attornev-in-Fact. The Stockholders’ Agent is hereby appointed and constituted the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Stockholder, with full power in his, her or its name and on his, her or its behalf to act according to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in the absolute discretion of the Stockholders’ Agent and in general to do all things and to perform all acts, including executing and delivering the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions, notices or instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, this power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred is granted and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Stockholder, by operation of law (whether by such Stockholder’s death, disability protective supervision) or any other event. Without limitation to the foregoing, this power of attorney is to ensure the performance of a special obligation, and, accordingly, each Stockholder hereby renounces its, his or her right to renounce this power of attorney unilaterally before the complete distribution of the Escrow Fund. Each Stockholder hereby waives any and all defenses that may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholders’ Agent taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding the power of attorney granted in this Section 10.1(f), no agreement, instrument, acknowledgement or other act or document shall be ineffective by reason only of the Stockholders having signed or given such directly instead of the Stockholders’ Agent.

(g) Liability. If the Stockholders’ Agent is required by the terms of this Agreement or of the Escrow Agreement to determine the occurrence of any event or contingency, the Stockholders’ Agent shall, in making such determination, be liable to the Stockholders only for the Stockholders’ Agent’s proven gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in light of all the circumstances, including the time and facilities available to the Stockholders’ Agent in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. In determining the occurrence of any such event or contingency, the Stockholders’ Agent may request from any of the Stockholders such reasonable additional evidence as the Stockholders’ Agent in his sole discretion may deem necessary to determine any fact relating to the occurrence

of such event or contingency and may at any time inquire of and consult with others, including any of the Stockholders. The Stockholders’ Agent shall not be liable to any Stockholders for any damages resulting from the delay of the Stockholders’ Agent in acting hereunder pending receipt by and examination of evidence requested by the Stockholders’ Agent.

(h) Orders. The Stockholders’ Agent is authorized, in his sole discretion, to comply with final, nonappealable orders or decisions issued or process entered by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator with respect to the Escrow Fund. If any portion of the Escrow Fund is disbursed to the Stockholders’ Agent and is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then the Stockholders’ Agent is authorized, in his sole discretion, but in good faith, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree of which the Stockholders’ Agent is advised by legal counsel selected by such Stockholders’ Agent is binding upon the Stockholders’ Agent without the need for appeal or other action. If the Stockholders’ Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, the Stockholders’ Agent shall not be liable to any Stockholder by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(i) Removal of Stockholders’ Agent; Authority of Successor Stockholders’ Agent. Those Stockholders that in the aggregate hold at least a majority of the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund (determined using each Stockholder’s Sharing Percentage) shall have the right at any time during the term of the Escrow Agreement to remove the then-acting Stockholders’ Agent and to appoint a successor Stockholders’ Agent; provided, however, that neither such removal of the then acting Stockholders’ Agent nor such appointment of a successor Stockholders’ Agent shall be effective until the delivery to the Escrow Agent of executed counterparts of a writing signed by each such Stockholder with respect to such removal and appointment, together with an acknowledgment signed by the successor Stockholders’ Agent appointed in such writing that he or she accepts the responsibility of successor Stockholders’ Agent and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Stockholders’ Agent. Each successor Stockholders’ Agent shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Stockholders’ Agent, and the term “Stockholders’ Agent” as used herein and in the Escrow Agreement, shall be deemed to include any interim or successor Stockholders’ Agent.

(j) Actions of Stockholders’ Agent. Any action taken by the Stockholders’ Agent pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 10.1 shall be effective and absolutely binding on each Stockholder notwithstanding any contrary action of, or direction from, any Stockholder.

(k) Reliance. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent, and their Affiliates shall not be obligated to inquire into the authority of the Stockholders’ Agent, and each of them shall be fully protected in dealing with the Stockholders’ Agent hereunder.

(1) Binding Appointment. The provisions of this Agreement, including this ARTICLE X, shall be binding upon each Stockholder and the executors, heirs, legal

representatives and successors of each Stockholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Stockholder shall mean and include the successors to the Stockholders’ rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation.

Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in section 1 of this Article shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses

under this Section 2 or otherwise. Such undertaking shall be an unlimited, unsecured general obligation of the Indemnitee, and shall be accepted without reference to such Indemnitee’s ability to make repayment. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any repeal or modification of any of the provisions of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an Indemnitee existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

Section 3. Right of Indemnitees to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any-such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article or otherwise shall be on the Corporation. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that an Indemnitee acted in such a manner as to make him or her ineligible for indemnification.

Section 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation as amended from time to time, these By-laws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. However, no person shall be entitled to

indemnification by the Corporation by virtue of the fact that such person is actually indemnified by another entity, including an insurer.

Section 5. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, grant rights indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENTS

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new Bylaws may be adopted by the majority vote of the entire Board of Directors.

Entire Board of Directors. As used in this Article VIII and in these Bylaws generally, the term “entire Board of Directors” means the total number of the directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies.

Adopted by the Board of Directors: 2009

Schedule 3.10(c)(i)

Absence of Certain Changes or Events

Revenue recognition policy

•

From the Balance Sheet Date, we have begun generating two primary types of revenue, both through the sale of ads on our sites: 1) Self-service ads (Do-it-Yourself ads) and 2) Fixed Placement ads (sold by ad sales reps)

•

Self-service ads:

•

Self-service ads are initiated by customers on their own

•

Prior to placing an ad, customers use their credit card to fund a stored balance at the Company. Customers’ stored balances then decline as impressions of their ad are served.

•

Company books the initial stored balance as deferred revenue, then recognizes revenue over time as impressions are served

•

Fixed placement ads:

•

Fixed placement ads are sold by Company ad sales representatives

•

Fixed placement ads are time-based — e.g. ads are sold for 1 week, for 1 month, or longer

•

The Company initially books a sale as deferred revenue, then recognizes revenue in regular intervals as time elapses

Schedule 3.11

Intellectual Property Actions Required

1. The Company received two Office Actions from the US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) regarding PATCH (word), Serial No. 77/576,011 and PATCH (design), Serial No. 77/668,130 (collectively, the “PATCH Marks”). Responses to these Office Actions are due June 20, 2009 and November 7, 2009, respectively. The PTO has asked us to respond to a potential “likelihood of confusion” between each of the PATCH Marks and the xxxx “THE PATCH,” U.S. Registration No. 2,856,575. The owner of THE PATCH is The Orange Bowl Committee, Inc. of Florida. THE PATCH registration cites goods and services of “printed material, namely newsletters on the game of football” in Class 016 and “entertainment services; namely, organizing and conducting parties and special events” in Class 041.

The Office Action also cites to three other pending applications. Pending Application Serial Nos. 77/136,248 (PATCH and design) and 77/136,240 (THE PATCH) are both owned by Torquay Enterprises Limited of New Zealand. The third pending application the PTO cites is to Application Serial No. 77/370,975 (PATCHES and design) owned by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx of Rhode Island. If any of these applications mature into registration, the PTO has stated that any of these marks may also be cited as a source of potential “likelihood of confusion” with the PATCH Marks.

The Office Action also requests the identification of goods and services listed in the original applications for each of the PATCH Marks be refined.

2. Polar Capital Group is in the process of updating the domain name registrations for xxxxx.xxx.xx and xxxxx.xxx.xx to reflect the Company’s ownership.
