B. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, (a) the Company will deliver to its stockholders, optionholders, warrantholders and holders of other rights to acquire capital stock of the Company (“Securityholders”) a written consent of stockholders for purposes of the approval of this Agreement (the “Stockholder Written Consent”), to be signed by stockholders of the Company constituting the holders of the Company’s capital stock required for the Requisite Stockholder Consent, and (b) certain of the stockholders of the Company have executed and delivered Support Agreements in favor of Parent (the “Support Agreements”) pursuant to which they have agreed to execute the Stockholder Written Consent within five days after the date hereof; and

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

The day on which the Closing takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.”
(b) As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall cause a certificate of merger substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other time as the parties shall agree and as shall be specified in the Certificate of Merger. The date and time when the Merger shall become effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time.”
1.3 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects provided for herein and in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law.
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. From and after the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law, and (b) the bylaws of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law.
1.5 Directors; Officers. From and after the Effective Time, (a) the directors of Sub serving immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, and (b) the officers of Sub serving immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.
1.6 Subsequent Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either the Company or Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of or in connection with the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name of and on behalf of either the Company or Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.
1.7 Conversion of Stock; Options; Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Sub, the Company or any holder of any shares of
capital stock of the Company (“Shares”) or any shares of capital stock of Sub or any option, warrant or other right to acquire Shares, each of the following will occur:
(a) Each Share of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Shares described in Section 1.7(b) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount, the Per Share Escrow Amount and the Per Share Earn-out Amount.
(b) Each Share that is held in the treasury of the Company or owned by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.
(c) Each share of common stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(d) Each option to acquire any Shares, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall be cancelled, in each case as of the Effective Time. Each such option with a per Share exercise price of less than the Per Share Total Amount (a “Converted Option”) will be converted into the right to receive the following:
(i) an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Shares for which such Converted Option is exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Adjusted Per Share Cash Amount;
(ii) an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Shares for which such Converted Option is exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Escrow Amount; and
(iii) an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Shares for which such Converted Option is exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Earn-out Amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any option (including Converted Options) shall have the right to exercise his, her or its option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and any options so exercised will be cancelled and the Shares issued pursuant to such exercise shall be entitled to receive the amounts described in Section 1.7(a). From and after the Effective Time, any cancelled options (including Converted Options) shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, options other than Converted Options shall have no right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration and the holders of Converted Options shall only be entitled to the consideration described in this Section 1.7(d). For purposes of reporting compensation income and calculating the applicable income and employment Tax withholding with respect to the payment of Merger Consideration to Securityholders that constitutes employment compensation, including the Per Share Escrow Amount, the Per Share Earn-out Amount, Earn-Out Bonuses and Discretionary Bonuses, the applicable information reporting and the timing and amounts subject to income and employment Tax withholding shall be based upon the amounts actually received by such Securityholders, with the exception that amounts deposited in the Expense Escrow Fund with the respect to such Securityholders shall be treated as paid to such Securityholders when amounts are deposited in the Expense Escrow Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the treatment of the Merger Consideration described in the preceding sentence limit the rights of the Parent Indemnified Parties to indemnification under Article V.
(e) Each warrant to acquire any Shares that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled. Each such warrant with a per Share exercise price of less than the Per Share Total Amount (a “Converted Warrant”) will be converted into the right to receive the following:
(i) an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Shares for which such Converted Warrant is exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Adjusted Per Share Cash Amount;
(ii) an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Shares for which such Converted Warrant is exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Escrow Amount; and
(iii) an amount, in cash, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Shares for which such Converted Warrant is exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Earn-out Amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any warrant (including Converted Warrants) shall have the right to exercise his, her or its warrant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and any warrants so exercised will be cancelled and the Shares issued pursuant to such exercise shall be entitled to receive the amounts described in Section 1.7(a). From and after the Effective Time, any cancelled warrants (including Converted Warrants) shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, warrants other than Converted Warrants shall have no right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration and the holders of Converted Warrants shall only be entitled to the consideration described in this Section 1.7(e).
(f) For purposes hereof, the following terms have the following respecting meanings:

1.8 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares (other than any Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.7(b)) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has appraisal rights for such Shares in the Merger under Section 262 of Delaware Law (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration unless and until such holder loses such holder’s right to appraisal and payment under Delaware Law. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled, without interest, and such holder shall have all of the other rights of a stockholder set forth hereunder. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent and, after the Closing, Parent shall give the Stockholder Representatives prompt notice of any demands received by the Company or the Surviving Corporation for appraisal of Shares, attempted written withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company or the Surviving Corporation relating to stockholders’ rights to appraisal with respect to the Merger. Parent shall have the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any exercise of such appraisal rights under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for payment of fair value for capital stock of the Company or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
1.9 Payment of Merger Consideration.
(a) Concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deposit or cause to be deposited the Initial Cash Consideration into account(s) established by the Payment Agent pursuant to the Payment Agent Agreement.
(b) Concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent for deposit into the escrow established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be held, invested and distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement.
(c) Concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited the Cash True-Up Escrow Amount with the Cash True-Up Escrow Agent for deposit into the escrow established pursuant to the Cash True-Up Escrow Agreement. The Cash True-Up Escrow Fund shall be held, invested and distributed as provided in the Cash True-Up Escrow Agreement and this Agreement.
(d) Concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited the Expense Escrow Amount with the Expense Escrow Agent for deposit into the escrow established pursuant to the Expense Escrow Agreement. The Expense Escrow Fund shall be held, invested and distributed as provided in the Expense Escrow Agreement and this Agreement.
(e) Upon surrender of certificates representing Shares or agreements or documents representing Converted Options and Converted Warrants at or after the Closing to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Payment Agent”), together with a Letter of Transmittal, the applicable Covered Securityholder shall be entitled to receive from the Payment Agent in exchange therefor his, her or its portion of the Initial Cash Consideration in accordance with Section 1.7, less, to the extent that such holder is a debtor to an outstanding Stockholder Loan, the Loan Prepayment Amount owing immediately
prior to the Effective Time with respect to such Stockholder Loan (it being understood that the holder shall be deemed to have repaid the Stockholder Loan, and shall have no further obligations with respect thereto). Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.9, any Covered Securities shall be deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto, without interest, as contemplated herein.
(f) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of any Shares thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, any Shares (other than Shares described in Section 1.7(b)), options, warrants or other rights to purchase Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be deemed cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.9.
(g) All cash paid upon conversion of Covered Securities in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.9 and all cash deposited with the Payment Agent, the Escrow Agent, the Cash True-Up Escrow Agent and the Expense Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Covered Securities; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict or limit the rights of the Covered Securityholders under this Agreement, including the right to receive the Earn-out Consideration, if any, and any amounts due under Section 1.14(d) and Section 1.15(d) with respect to the Final Adjustment, the Final Closing Cash and the Final Closing Indebtedness. From and after the Effective Time, the Securityholders shall cease to have any rights with respect to Covered Securities, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or by applicable Law.
(h) In the event any certificate representing Shares or agreement or document representing Converted Options and Converted Warrants has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate, agreement or document to be lost, stolen or destroyed and containing an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Parent (which may, if reasonably requested by Parent, include a requirement to post a bond or other security), the Payment Agent Agreement will provide that the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, agreement or document the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Section 1.9.
(i) Following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Payment Agent will deliver to the Surviving Corporation or Parent any portion (including any earnings) of the Initial Cash Consideration deposited with the Payment Agent pursuant to this Agreement that has not been properly claimed pursuant to a delivery of the applicable Letter of Transmittal. Following such delivery to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, the Covered Securityholders shall be entitled to look to Parent only as a general creditor thereof with respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their certificates, agreements or documents representing Covered Securities, without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.9, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Securityholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
1.10 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of applicable Law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable person in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made. The employer portion of any
payroll Taxes owed by the Surviving Corporation that result from the payment of any portion of the Merger Consideration, will either be paid from the Initial Cash Consideration, Cash, or from the Escrow Fund prior to any distribution to Covered Securityholders. The foregoing will not apply to any employee Taxes (e.g., employee social security, Medicare and income tax withholding) withheld by the Company in accordance with Section 1.10.

(a) The parties hereto agree that it is desirable to designate each of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxxxxx as a representative of the Securityholders and as their attorney in fact (each, a “Stockholder Representative” and collectively, the “Stockholder Representatives”), with full power of substitution to act on behalf of the Securityholders to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The Company has designated the Stockholder Representatives as the representatives of the Securityholders for purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and approval of this Agreement and the Merger by such holders pursuant to the Stockholder Written Consent and each Letter of Transmittal shall constitute ratification and approval of such designation on the terms set forth herein and therein. All decisions, actions, consents and instructions by any Stockholder Representative with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be binding upon all of the Securityholders in their capacities as such at and following the Effective Time under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and no such Securityholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. Parent and Sub shall be entitled to rely on any decision, action, consent or instruction of any Stockholder Representative as being the decision, action, consent or instruction of the Securityholders, and Parent and Sub are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for acts done by them in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction. By way of amplification and not limitation, as a Stockholder Representative, each Stockholder Representative shall be authorized and empowered, as agent of and on behalf of all Securityholders to give and receive notices and communications as provided herein, to object to any Parent Indemnification Claims, purchase price adjustments or matters related to the Earn-out Consideration, the Earn-out Bonuses and the Discretionary Bonuses, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such Parent Indemnification Claims, Losses, purchase price adjustments or matters related to the Earn-out Consideration, the Earn-out Bonuses and the Discretionary Bonuses, to waive after the Effective Time any breach or default of Parent or Sub of any obligation to be performed by it under this Agreement, to receive service of process on behalf of each Securityholder in connection with any claims against such Securityholder arising under or in connection with this Agreement, any document or instrument provided for hereby or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or under any Transaction Document, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of such Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms thereof. Notices or communications to or from any Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Securityholders. Any writing signed or action taken by a Stockholder Representative shall be sufficient to constitute a writing signed or action taken on behalf of the Securityholders, whether or not the other Stockholder Representative has also signed such writing or taken such action.
(b) A Stockholder Representative may resign at any time, and in the event of the death, incapacity or resignation of a Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative may be appointed by the vote or written consent of Securityholders holding a majority of the Shares and the Shares underlying the Converted Options and Converted Warrants represented by the Total Company Share Number, voting as a single class. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Stockholder Representative shall be sent to Parent and, after the Effective Time, to the Surviving Corporation, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent and the date such consent is received by Parent and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving
Corporation; provided that until such notice is received, Parent, Sub and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely on the decisions, actions, consents and instructions of such prior Stockholder Representative as described in Section 1.11(a).
(c) In dealing with this Agreement and any notice, instrument, agreement or document relating thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon each Stockholder Representative hereunder or thereunder, (i) each Stockholder Representative and his, her or its agents, counsel, accountants and other Representatives shall not assume any, and shall not incur any, responsibility whatsoever (in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law) to any stockholder, optionholder or warrantholder of the Company, Parent, the Company, Sub or the Surviving Corporation, including by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with this Agreement or any such other agreement, instrument or document, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted willful misconduct or fraud, and (ii) each Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of such Stockholder Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject such Stockholder Representative to liability to any stockholder, optionholder or warrantholder of the Company, Parent, the Company, Sub or the Surviving Corporation.
(d) The grant of authority provided for in this Section 1.11 is coupled with an interest and is being granted, in part, as an inducement to Parent and Sub to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and shall be irrevocable and survive the dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of the Company or the death, incompetency, liquidation or bankruptcy of any Securityholder, shall be binding on any successor thereto and shall survive the assignment by any Securityholder of the whole or any portion of his, her or its interest in the Merger Consideration.
(e) All of the immunities and powers granted to the Stockholder Representatives under this Agreement with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement, except that such powers shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement and if applicable the Transaction Documents.
(f) The Expense Escrow Fund may be used at the discretion of each Stockholder Representative solely for (i) reasonable and documented expenses incurred in the administration of his, her or its duties under this Section 1.11 or the Transaction Documents and (ii) compensation payable to such Stockholder Representative or his, her or its agents for the services rendered in the administration of the duties of such Stockholder Representative under this Section 1.11 and the Transaction Documents, which compensation shall be earned at a rate not to exceed $110 per hour. As soon as practicable following the Escrow Termination Date (as defined below), the Expense Escrow Agent shall, subject to the terms set forth in the Expense Escrow Agreement, deliver to the Payment Agent any portion of the Expense Escrow Fund which exceeds any amounts on that date reserved against pending expenses of, and earned and unpaid compensation owing to, such Stockholder Representative or his, her or its agents for disbursement to the holders of Covered Securities. Such disbursement shall be made as instructed by such Stockholder Representative; provided, however, expenses projected to be incurred in the reasonable determination of such Stockholder Representative for the administration of his, her or its duties in connection with claims unresolved as of the Escrow Termination Date may be retained in the Expense Escrow Fund for such purpose after the Escrow Termination Date. In the event the Expense Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) incurred by a Stockholder Representative and any earned and unpaid compensation owing to such Stockholder Representative or his, her or its agents in serving in that capacity (the “Unsatisfied Expenses”), such Stockholder Representative shall have the right to recover from the Escrow Fund,
immediately prior to any distribution to the Covered Securityholders (but only after any disbursement from the Escrow Fund to the Escrow Agent or Parent pursuant to terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, and subject to any pending claims of the Parent Indemnified Parties), such Stockholder Representative’s Unsatisfied Expenses. In the event the Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy the Unsatisfied Expenses, then each Covered Securityholder will be obligated to pay a percentage of the Unsatisfied Expenses in excess of the available amounts in the Escrow Fund proportionate to such person’s allocable share of the Escrow Fund.
1.12 Letter of Transmittal. The Company shall provide to each Securityholder: (a) a letter of transmittal and release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (“Letter of Transmittal”) requiring, among other things, that each such Securityholder releases all claims against the Company arising on or prior to the Effective Time, acknowledges and agrees to the authority of the Stockholder Representatives and agrees to be bound by the indemnification provisions of Article V and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, and (b) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of certificates, agreements or documents representing the Shares or options, warrants or other rights to purchase Shares, as the case may be.
1.13 Earn-out Consideration and Earn-out Bonuses. The Covered Securityholders shall be eligible to receive and shall collectively be paid, if earned and in accordance with Section 1.7, additional payments equal to the Earn-out Consideration, and the Earn-out Bonuses shall be paid, upon the satisfaction of the Earn-out Conditions and in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 1.13.
(a) Earn-out Conditions. The Earn-out Consideration shall be earned, and the Earn-out Bonuses shall be paid, if both of the following occur (collectively, the “Earn-out Conditions”): (i) the average closing price of the common stock of Parent traded on the NASDAQ National Market is equal to or greater than $11.00 per share for a period of at least 30 consecutive trading days during the period beginning on January 4, 2011 and ending on June 30, 2012; and (ii) the Surviving Corporation’s Gross Revenue for Parent’s fiscal year beginning on June 1, 2011 and ending on May 31, 2012 is in excess of $45,000,000.
(b) Interim Reporting. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2012, Parent shall deliver for information purposes only to the Stockholder Representatives Parent’s good faith estimate of the Surviving Corporation’s Gross Revenue for such fiscal quarter.
(c) Earn-out Report. Within ninety (90) days of the end of Parent’s fiscal year ending May 31, 2012, Parent shall provide to the Stockholder Representatives a report, which shall include (i) Parent’s determination of the Surviving Corporation’s Gross Revenue for Parent’s fiscal year ending on May 31, 2012, including a summary of Parent’s calculation of such amount, and (ii) Parent’s determination as to whether or not the Earn-out Conditions have been satisfied (the “Earn-out Report”). The Stockholder Representatives shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of the Earn-out Report to either accept or reject Parent’s determinations set forth therein (the “Earn-out Review Period”). From the date of delivery of the Earn-out Report until the expiration of the Earn-out Review Period, Parent shall provide the Stockholder Representatives, and each of their advisors, accountants and Representatives, with reasonable access to all financial information, work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents and information reasonably necessary for a review thereof. If either Stockholder Representative objects to Parent’s calculation of the Surviving Corporation’s Gross Revenue for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2012 on or prior to the expiration of the Earn-out Review Period, then the Stockholder Representatives and Parent shall attempt in good faith to resolve and finally determine such amount. If the Stockholder Representatives and Parent are unable to resolve the disagreement and reach a written agreement to
resolve any timely and properly made good faith dispute within thirty (30) days following the delivery of notice by a Stockholder Representative that it objects to Parent’s calculation, then a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized independent accounting firm that is unaffiliated with any of the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholder Representatives and Parent (the “Independent Accountant”) shall resolve the disagreement and make a determination with respect thereto. Each of the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall submit a written submission to the Independent Accountant setting forth its position with respect to any unresolved objections to the Earn-out Report. The scope of the Independent Accountant’s engagement (which will not be an audit) shall be limited to the determination of such unresolved objections . The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator. The determination made by the Independent Accountant will be set forth in writing and will be final, non-appealable and binding upon the parties. The costs of the Independent Accountant will be borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives in proportion to the difference of each such party’s determination of the Surviving Corporation’s Gross Revenue and the determination of the Independent Accountant, or equally by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives if the determination by the Independent Accountant is equidistant from the determinations of each of the parties. For example, if the Stockholder Representatives claim the Surviving Corporation’s Gross Revenue is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Parent and set forth in the Earn-out Report, and if the Independent Accountant ultimately determines the Surviving Corporation’s Gross Revenue is $300 greater than the amount set forth in the Earn-out Report, then the cost of the Independent Accountant will be allocated 30% (i.e. 300/1,000) to Parent and 70% (700/1,000) to the Stockholder Representatives. If the Stockholder Representatives fail to object to Parent’s determinations set forth in the Earn-out Report within the Earn-out Review Period, then the Stockholder Representatives shall be deemed to have accepted Parent’s determinations set forth in the Earn-out Report.
(d) Payment of the Earn-out Consideration and the Earn-out Bonuses. Upon and subject to a final determination that the Earn-out Conditions have been satisfied in accordance with Section 1.13(c) and subject to Parent’s rights under Section 5.4(e), Parent will cause an amount equal to the Earn-out Consideration and the Earn-out Bonuses to be delivered to the Payment Agent within five (5) business days after such date. Thereafter, (i) the Covered Securityholders shall be entitled to receive their portion of the Earn-out Consideration from the Payment Agent pursuant to Section 1.7 and the Payment Agent Agreement, and (ii) the Stockholder Representative shall direct the Payment Agent to pay the Earn-out Bonuses to such employees of the Company as of the Effective Time that it so determines.
(e) Post-Closing Covenants.
(i) Parent agrees to operate the business of the Surviving Corporation (A) in good faith, and (B) in a commercially reasonable manner. To the extent consistent with the foregoing sentence, Parent will have sole discretion in operating the Business and the Surviving Corporation following the Closing and will have the exclusive right to establish the terms, prices and discounts, payment terms and all other terms and conditions related to the operation of the Business, regardless of how its decisions affect the satisfaction of the Earn-out Conditions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent consistent with the first sentence of this clause (i), Parent will have no obligation to promote, operate, manage, finance or sustain in any way the Surviving Corporation or the Business at any time after the Effective Time and may, in its sole discretion, dismantle, cease to operate, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or its assets, subject only to the possibility of an acceleration payment pursuant to Section 1.13(e)(ii). Parent will not, however, intentionally take or fail to take any action with the principal purpose of causing the Earn-out Conditions to not be satisfied.
(ii) Parent (or its successors or permitted assigns) will fully satisfy its obligations to pay the Earn-out Consideration and the Earn-out Bonuses by paying to the Payment Agent
a lump sum payment equal to the then-present value (assuming that the Earn-out Consideration would be payable on July 1, 2012 and using a discount rate equal to 3%) of the Earn-out Consideration and the Earn-out Bonuses, if (A) Parent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or a substantial portion of the capital stock or the assets of the Surviving Corporation, to any person that is not a Subsidiary or parent of Parent (or its successors or permitted assigns) on or before May 31, 2012, or (B) Parent or any of its successors or assigns shall on or before May 31, 2012 (1) consolidate with or merge into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving person of such consolidation or merger, or (2) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person. Such lump sum payment shall be made on the date of the closing of the transaction giving rise to the obligation to make such lump sum payment. Any payment made for the purpose of terminating Parent’s obligations to pay the Earn-out Consideration will be subject to any right of offset and indemnification as set forth in Article V. Nothing contained in this Section 1.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement will prohibit Parent from transferring or assigning any of the capital stock or the assets of the Surviving Corporation to any Subsidiary or parent of Parent, and such an event does not trigger the acceleration events described in this Section 1.13(e)(ii), provided that Parent’s obligations under this Section 1.13 may not be delegated to any such Subsidiary or parent of Parent.
1.14 Working Capital Adjustment.
(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will prepare and deliver to Parent an estimated Net Working Capital statement (“Estimated Net Working Capital Statement”), certified by an appropriate officer of the Company, setting forth (i) a reasonably detailed calculation of the estimated Net Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Estimated Net Working Capital”) in substantially the same form as, and using the same line items, accounting and calculation methodology (which shall be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except for exceptions expressly stated in the sample statement on Schedule 1.14) set forth in, the sample statement on Schedule 1.14, and (ii) a calculation of the Estimated Adjustment. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Estimated Adjustment” will be the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target. If the Net Working Capital Target exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Merger Consideration will be decreased by the absolute value of the Estimated Adjustment, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this Section 1.14. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target, the Estimated Adjustment shall be zero.
(b) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representatives a statement (“Final Net Working Capital Statement”), certified by an appropriate officer of Parent, setting forth (i) a reasonably detailed calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Final Net Working Capital”), in substantially the same form as, and using the same line items, accounting and calculation methodology (which shall be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except for exceptions expressly stated sample statement on Schedule 1.14) set forth in, the sample statement on Schedule 1.14, and (ii) a calculation of the Final Adjustment. Parent will make available to the Stockholder Representatives and each of their accountants the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Final Working Capital Statement, the books and records of the Surviving Corporation or Parent, and upon reasonable advance notice, those employees of the Surviving Corporation or Parent who participated in the preparation of the Final Working Capital Statement. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Final Adjustment,” which may be positive or negative, will be an amount equal to the difference between the following: (1) the lesser of the Net Working Capital Target and the Final Net Working Capital, minus (2) an amount equal to the Net Working Capital Target minus the Estimated Adjustment, if any.
(c) If the Stockholder Representatives do not deliver any objections to Parent’s determination of the Final Working Capital Statement and the Final Adjustment within sixty (60) days after receiving such calculations, then Parent’s determination will be final, non-appealable and binding on
the parties. If either Stockholder Representative has any objections to the Final Working Capital Statement, then such Stockholder Representative must deliver a detailed statement describing the objections to Parent’s determination of the Final Working Capital Statement or the Final Adjustment within sixty (60) days after receiving such Final Working Capital Statement and corresponding statement, including any supporting schedules, analyses, working papers and other documentation relating to such objections, and setting forth such Stockholder Representative’s determination of the Final Working Capital Statement and the Final Adjustment. Parent and the Stockholder Representatives will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections themselves through good faith negotiation. If they are able to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution of each objection, the Final Working Capital Statement and the calculation of the Final Adjustment based thereon, as adjusted to reflect such resolution, will be deemed final, non-appealable and binding for purposes of this Agreement. If the parties do not obtain a final resolution of all objections within the 30-day period after delivery of a Stockholder Representative’s objections to the Final Working Capital Statement, then Parent and the Stockholder Representatives will select a mutually acceptable, nationally-recognized accounting firm that is unaffiliated with any of the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholder Representatives or Parent to resolve any remaining objections (the “Accounting Referee”). Each of the Stockholder Representatives and Parent shall submit a written submission to the Accounting Referee setting forth its position with respect to any unresolved objections to the Final Working Capital Statement and the calculation of the Final Adjustment based thereon. The Accounting Referee will determine only with respect to the disputed items submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the Final Working Capital Statement and calculation of the Final Adjustment delivered by Parent requires adjustment. Further, the Accounting Referee will make its determination based solely on the written submissions by the Stockholder Representatives and Parent and not on independent review. The Accounting Referee shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator. The Accounting Referee shall only review such items that remain in dispute and shall make no adjustments that would cause any such item to be greater than the higher of, or less than the lower of, the amounts proposed by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives for such item. The determination made by the Accounting Referee will be set forth in writing and will be final, non-appealable and binding upon the parties. The costs of the Accounting Referee will be borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives in proportion to the difference of each such party’s determination of the Final Adjustment and the determination of the Accounting Referee, or equally by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives if the determination by the Accounting Referee is equidistant from the determinations of each of the parties. For example, if the Stockholder Representatives claim the Final Adjustment is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Parent in accordance with Section 1.14(b) above, and Parent contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Stockholder Representatives, and if the Accounting Referee ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Stockholder Representatives $300 of the $500 contested, then the cost of the Accounting Referee will be allocated 60% (i.e. 300/500) to Parent and 40% (i.e. 200/500) to the Stockholder Representatives.
(d) Following the final determination of the Final Working Capital Statement and the Final Adjustment, (i) if the Final Adjustment is a positive number (i.e., the lesser of the Net Working Capital Target and the Final Net Working Capital exceeds an amount equal to the Net Working Capital Target minus the Estimated Adjustment, if any), then the Merger Consideration will be increased by the amount of the Final Adjustment, and Parent will pay to the Payment Agent for the benefit of the Covered Securityholders, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Final Adjustment, or (ii) if the Final Adjustment is a negative number (i.e., the lesser of the Net Working Capital Target and the Final Net Working Capital is less than an amount equal to the Net Working Capital Target minus the Estimated Adjustment, if any), then the Merger Consideration will be decreased by the absolute value of the Final Adjustment, and the Escrow Agent will pay to Parent out of the Escrow Fund, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Final Adjustment.
1.15 Cash/Indebtedness Adjustment.
(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company will deliver to Parent a certificate, executed by an appropriate officer of the Company (the “Cash and Indebtedness Certificate”), setting forth (i) a reasonable, good faith estimate of the amounts of Cash and Indebtedness as of the date of delivery of the Cash and Indebtedness Certificate, and (ii) a reasonable, good faith estimate of the Closing Cash and the Closing Indebtedness. At the Closing, Parent will pay in full, or cause to be paid in full by the Payment Agent, the Indebtedness (including the Selling Expenses).
(b) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representatives a statement (“Closing Cash and Indebtedness Statement”), certified by an appropriate officer of Parent, setting forth its calculations of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness. Parent will make available to the Stockholder Representatives and each of their accountants the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing its calculations of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness, the books and records of the Surviving Corporation or Parent, and upon reasonable advance notice, those employees of the Surviving Corporation or Parent who participated in preparing its calculations of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness.
(c) If the Stockholder Representatives do not deliver any objections to Parent’s determination of the Closing Cash and Indebtedness Statement within sixty (60) days after receiving such calculations, then Parent’s determination will be final, non-appealable and binding on the parties. If either Stockholder Representative has any objections to the Closing Cash and Indebtedness Statement, then such Stockholder Representative must deliver a detailed statement describing the objections to Parent’s determination of the Closing Cash and/or Closing Indebtedness within sixty (60) days after receiving such Closing Cash and Indebtedness Statement, including any supporting schedules, analyses, work papers and other documentation relating to such objections, and setting forth such Stockholder Representative’s determination of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness. Parent and the Stockholder Representatives will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections themselves through good faith negotiation. If they are able to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution of each objection, the calculation of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness, as adjusted to reflect such resolution, will be deemed final, non-appealable and binding for purposes of this Agreement. If the parties do not obtain a final resolution of all objections within the 30-day period after delivery of a Stockholder Representative’s objections to the Closing Cash and Indebtedness Statement, then Parent and the Stockholder Representatives will select a mutually acceptable, nationally-recognized accounting firm that is unaffiliated with any of the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholder Representatives or Parent to resolve any remaining objections (the “Accountant”). Each of the Stockholder Representatives and Parent shall submit a written submission to the Accountant setting forth its position with respect to any unresolved objections to the Closing Cash and Indebtedness Statement and the calculation of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness based thereon. The Accountant will determine only with respect to the disputed items submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the calculation of Closing Cash and/or Closing Indebtedness delivered by Parent requires adjustment. Further, the Accountant will make its determination based solely on the written submissions by the Stockholder Representatives and Parent and not on independent review. The Accountant shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator. The Accountant shall only review such items that remain in dispute and shall make no adjustments that would cause any such item to be greater than the higher of, or less than the lower of, the amounts proposed by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives for such item. The determination made by the Accountant will be set forth in writing and will be final, non-appealable and binding upon the parties. The costs of the Accountant will be borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representative in proportion to the difference of each such party’s determination of Closing Cash and/or Closing Indebtedness and the determination of the Accountant, or equally by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives if the determination by the Accountant is equidistant from the determinations of each of the parties.
(d) Following the final determination of the Closing Cash and Closing Indebtedness, (i) if the amount of Closing Cash as so finally determined (the “Final Closing Cash”) is more than, or the amount of Closing Indebtedness as so finally determined (the “Final Closing Indebtedness”) is less than, the respective amount set forth on the Cash and Indebtedness Certificate (respectively, the “Estimated Closing Cash” and the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), then the Merger Consideration will be increased by the amount by which the Final Closing Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash, or the amount by which the Estimated Closing Indebtedness exceeds the Final Closing Indebtedness (as the case may be) and Parent will pay to the Payment Agent, for the benefit of the Covered Securityholders, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, an amount equal to such excess or excesses (as the case may be), (ii) if the amount of Final Closing Cash is less than the Estimated Closing Cash, or the amount of Final Closing Indebtedness is more than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, then the Merger Consideration will be decreased by the amount by which the Estimated Closing Cash exceeds the Final Closing Cash and the amount by which the Final Closing Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Closing Indebtedness (as the case may be) and the Cash True-Up Escrow Agent will pay to Parent out of the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, an amount, in cash, equal to such excess or excesses (as the case may be) (the “Parent Cash True-Up Claim”) up to the Cash-True Up Escrow Amount, and if the amount Parent Cash True-Up Claim exceeds the Cash-True Up Escrow Fund, then the Escrow Agent will pay to Parent out of the Escrow Fund, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, an amount, in cash, equal to Parent Cash-True Up Claim minus the Cash-True Up Escrow Fund, and (iii) the Cash True-Up Escrow Agent shall disburse (A) a portion, determined by a Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion, of the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund remaining after payment of the Parent Cash True-Up Claim, to the Payment Agent for the payment of bonuses to such employees of the Company or the Surviving Corporation, and in such allocations as such Stockholder Representative directs (collectively, the “Discretionary Bonuses”), and (B) such remaining portion of the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund remaining after payment of the Parent Cash True-Up Claim and the payment to the Payment Agent of an amount equal to the Discretionary Bonuses, to the Payment Agent for distribution to the Covered Securityholders in accordance with the Cash True-Up Escrow Agreement and the Payment Agent Agreement.
(e) To provide a fund against which Parent may assert Parent Cash True-Up Claims, the Cash-True Up Escrow Amount shall be deposited into escrow pursuant to the Cash-True Up Escrow Agreement in accordance with Section 1.9. The Cash-True Up Escrow Fund shall be held and distributed in accordance with this Section 1.15 and the Cash-True Up Escrow Agreement. A Parent Cash True-Up Claim shall be made only in accordance with this Section 1.15 and the Cash-True Up Escrow Agreement. Parent shall seek recourse for the Parent Cash True-Up Claim by offset against the Cash-True Up Escrow Fund first. Any interest or other income paid on the Cash True-Up Escrow Amount shall be treated in accordance with Section 5.4(f). Parent, Sub and the Company shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the foregoing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the entire amount of the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund shall be available to Parent on a joint and several basis for satisfaction of any Parent Cash True-Up Claim. No Securityholder may recover from Parent, and Parent has no Liability for, any amount by which the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund is properly reduced thereby in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash True-Up Escrow Agreement.
(f) Once the Final Closing Cash and the Final Closing Indebtedness have been determined in accordance with this Section 1.15, a Stockholder Representative and Parent will furnish to the Cash True-Up Escrow Agent a memorandum setting forth the disbursement of the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund to the Payment Agent for payment of the Parent Cash True-Up Claim, the Discretionary Bonuses and distribution to the Covered Securityholders in accordance with Section 1.15(d) and the Cash True-Up Escrow Agreement.

The Company has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party (the “Company Transaction Documents”).

5.3 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) For purposes of this Section 5.3, a party against which indemnification may be sought is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” and the party which may be entitled to indemnification is referred to as the “Indemnified Party.” Promptly following the incurrence of any Losses or discovery of any potential Losses by an Indemnified Party who believes that such party is or will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the Loss (or potential Loss) for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.
(b) The obligations and liabilities of Indemnifying Parties under this Article V with respect to Losses arising from actual or threatened claims or demands by any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article V (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim promptly following the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument.
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of its receipt of notice regarding the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense but the Indemnifying Parties will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes based on advice of counsel that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have actual or potential conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be paid on a current basis (subject to reimbursement if it is determined that the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder); provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of any significant developments with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. Except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Indemnifying Party will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnified Party by the third party of a release from
all Liability with respect to such Third Party Claim; or (ii) that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability with respect thereto. In addition, for any Third Party Claim with respect to Taxes, the Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(d) Any payment made to a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article V shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration paid by Parent for the Covered Securities.
5.4 Manner of Indemnification.
(a) Escrow Fund. To provide a fund against which a Parent Indemnified Party may assert claims of indemnification under this Article V (a “Parent Indemnification Claim”), the Escrow Amount shall be deposited into escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in accordance with Section 1.9. The Escrow Fund shall be held and distributed in accordance with this Article V and the Escrow Agreement. Each Parent Indemnification Claim shall be made only in accordance with this Article V and the Escrow Agreement. A Parent Indemnified Party shall seek recourse for Parent Indemnification Claims by offset against the Escrow Fund first. Any interest or other income paid on the Escrow Amount shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof and available for satisfaction of claims. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the entire amount of the Escrow Fund shall be available to the Parent Indemnified Parties on a joint and several basis for satisfaction of any Losses they may suffer that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V, regardless of whether or not such Losses were caused by any of the Company, a Securityholder or any of their Affiliates and irrespective of whether indemnification claims under this Article V were first asserted by the Parent Indemnified Parties against one or more of such persons. No Covered Securityholder may recover from the Parent Indemnified Parties, and none of the Parent Indemnified Parties has any Liability for, any amount by which the Escrow Fund is properly reduced thereby in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the limitations set forth in this Article V shall apply to any action for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedy or with regard to any claim or action with respect to fraud (other than negligent misrepresentation).
(b) Release From Escrow. On the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Termination Date”), the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement, disburse any portion of the Escrow Fund which exceeds any amounts on that date reserved against pending claims of the Parent Indemnified Parties for indemnifiable Losses. Such disbursement shall be made to the Securityholders (other than holders of any Dissenting Shares) by the Payment Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and the Payment Agent Agreement.
(c) Claims for Indemnification. For the purposes hereof, an “Officer’s Certificate” means a certificate signed by an officer of Parent and delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representatives: (i) stating that Parent has paid, incurred, sustained or accrued Losses, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date insofar as practicable each such item was paid, incurred or sustained, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related or the indemnification obligation to which such Losses are related, and (iii) the amount of the Escrow Fund sought to be delivered to Parent (for the benefit of the pertinent Parent Indemnified Party) in compensation for such Losses. Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of an Officer’s Certificate at any time on or before the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall comply with the provisions of Section 5.5(d), and following such compliance, shall
deliver to Parent, as promptly as practicable, an amount of cash from the Escrow Fund equal to the amount of Losses, if any, required to be paid after following the procedure in Section 5.5(d).
(d) Resolution of Conflicts.
(i) At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered simultaneously to the Stockholder Representatives. If either Stockholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, then the Stockholder Representatives and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholder Representatives and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by a Stockholder Representative and Parent and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
(ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within sixty (60) days after delivery of an Officer’s Certificate (and following an objection made by a Stockholder Representative in accordance with Section 5.4(d)(i) above), either Parent or the Stockholder Representatives may pursue any legal remedy available to him or it with respect to the portion of the Escrow Fund in dispute.
(e) Offset Against Earn-out Consideration and Earn-out Bonuses. The Parent Indemnified Parties will have the option of recouping all or part of any Losses they may suffer to which they are entitled to indemnification under this Article V from the Earn-out Consideration and the Earn-out Bonuses (to the extent the Earn-out Consideration and Earn-out Bonuses are payable in accordance with Section 1.13 and the Earn-out Conditions have been satisfied) by notifying the Stockholder Representatives in writing that Parent is proportionately reducing the amount of the Earn-out Consideration and the amount Earn-out Bonuses, by an amount equal to such Losses, which will include such information as would be required for purposes of a claim submitted under this Article V (an “Earn-out Offset Notice”). If either Stockholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Earn-out Offset Notice within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, then the Stockholder Representatives and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within sixty (60) days after delivery of an Earn-out Offset Notice, either Parent or the Stockholder Representatives may pursue any legal remedy available to him or it with respect to the portion of the Earn-out Offset Notice in dispute.
(f) Interest and Earnings on Escrow Fund and Cash True-Up Escrow Fund. Parent and the Stockholder Representatives agree that all investment earnings and income with respect to the Escrow Fund and the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund shall be allocated to Parent for tax purposes. Parent, Sub and the Company (and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) agree that if and to the extent any portion of the Escrow Fund or the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund is actually distributed to the Covered Securityholders, interest may be imputed on such amount for tax purposes, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code. Parent, Sub and the Company (and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the foregoing. Any investment earnings and income on the Escrow Fund and the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund shall be divided and paid to Parent and the Payment Agent for distribution to the Covered Securityholders in accordance with the following: (i) 60% of such earnings and income shall become part of the Escrow Fund and the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund, as the case may be, and shall be distributed to the Covered Securityholders in accordance with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Cash True-Up Escrow Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) 40% of such earnings and income shall not become part of the Escrow Fund and the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund, as
the case may be, and shall be disbursed quarterly during the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Cash True-Up Escrow Agreement to the Parent, as directed in writing by Parent (each such transfer, an “Escrow Tax Distribution”). By March 31, 2012, Parent shall remit to the Stockholder Representatives an amount equal to the lesser of the following: (i) the aggregate Escrow Tax Distributions; or (ii) Parent’s imputed interest deduction determined pursuant to Sections 483 and 1275 of the Code and Section 1.1275-4(c) of the Treasury Regulations multiplied by 40%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the investment earnings and income that is added to the Escrow Fund or the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund exceed in the aggregate 12% per year of the Escrow Fund and the Cash True-Up Escrow Fund, and any investment earnings and income in excess thereof will be disbursed to Parent.
5.5 Limits on Indemnification; Calculation of Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:
(a) An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b) as the case may be exceeds $300,000, at which point the Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification under this Article V from and against all Losses relating back to the first dollar (the “Basket”); provided, however, that the Basket will not apply to Losses arising from any claim for indemnification by the Parent Indemnified Parties arising under the Excluded Claims or under Sections 5.2(a)(iii), (vi) and (vii) (the “Fundamental Claims”); provided further that the Basket will apply to an Excluded Claim based on the representation contained in Section 2.11 (Tax Matters).
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.5(b), the aggregate Losses (other than Losses primarily resulting from or relating to Fundamental Claims), for which the Company Indemnifying Parties shall be required to provide indemnification hereunder shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of the Escrow Amount and, to the extent earned, the Earn-out Consideration and the Earn-out Bonuses (the “Cap”). The aggregate Losses primarily resulting from or relating to Fundamental Claims for which any particular Company Indemnifying Party shall be required to provide indemnification under this Article V shall in no event exceed the dollar amount of the consideration received by such Company Indemnifying Party hereunder (on an after tax basis and after giving effect to any payment or setoff against the Earn-out Consideration and the Earn-out Bonuses under this Article V).
(c) No Indemnified Party may make a claim for indemnification under Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b), as the case may be, for breach by the Indemnifying Party of a particular representation, warranty or covenant after the expiration of the survival period thereof specified in Section 5.1.
(d) For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party for purposes of this Agreement, such amount shall be: (i) reduced by the amount of any insurance benefits and proceeds actually paid to such Indemnified Party, or any Affiliate of any such party, in respect of such Losses net of any deductible amounts and any increase in premiums directly related thereto; (ii) reduced by the amount of any indemnification, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any third party with respect to such Losses; (iii) reduced by any net Tax Benefit realized by the applicable Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses where the “Tax Benefit” equals the actual reduction in Taxes realized by such Indemnified Party as a result of the payment or accrual of any loss, expense, deduction or Taxes resulting from the event or circumstance giving rise to such Losses; and (iv) increased to take into account any net Tax Cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from (x) the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder, or (y) the indemnification, contribution or other similar payments actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any third party with respect to such Losses (in the case of either (x) or (y) grossed up for any income Tax incurred based on such increase), where the “Tax Cost” equals the actual increase in Taxes realized by
such Indemnified Party as a result of the receipt or accrual of such indemnity payments or indemnification, contribution or other similar payments from a third party.
(e) If any claim is made against any Securityholder by a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article V, no Securityholder (nor any of their respective Affiliates, Representatives successors and assigns) shall have any rights against Parent or the Surviving Corporation, by reason of contribution or subrogation.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of the parties’ indemnification obligations under Article V, all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement that are qualified as to “material,” “materiality,” “material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar import or effect or exception related thereto shall be deemed to have been made without any such qualification or exception for purposes of determining the amount of Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of representation or warranty (but not whether a breach of such representation or warranty has occurred).
(g) The Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification under this Article V will not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known at any time that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article IV of this Agreement.
5.6 Exclusion of Other Remedies. This Article V constitutes the sole and exclusive remedies from and after the Closing for recovery of Losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Merger, except (i) with respect to fraud and intentional misrepresentation (but specifically excluding negligent misrepresentation) and (ii) nothing herein shall restrict the ability of any party to seek specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief.
5.7 No Circular Recovery. No Securityholder will be entitled to make any claim for indemnification against the Parent Indemnified Parties (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person was a controlling person, director, employee or representative of the Company or any of its Affiliates or was serving as such for another person at the request of Parent or the Company or any of their Affiliates (whether such claim is for Losses of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, governing documents, contractual obligation or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by the Parent Indemnified Parties against any Securityholder relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby that is determined to be an indemnifiable Loss in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article V. With respect to any claim brought by the Parent Indemnified Parties against any person relating to this Agreement and any of transactions contemplated hereby, each Securityholder, by virtue of receiving the Merger Consideration and pursuant to the execution and delivery of his, her or its Letter of Transmittal, will be deemed to waive any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Surviving Corporation with respect to any amounts owed by such person pursuant to this Article V as of such date.

6.2 Exclusivity.

The Company shall not release any person from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement with respect to any of the foregoing to which the Company is a party, without the prior written consent of Parent.

Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with the Antitrust Authorities with respect to the foregoing and undertake promptly any and all commercially reasonable action required to complete lawfully the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable and any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary or advisable to avoid, prevent, eliminate or remove the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in any forum by or on behalf of the Antitrust Authorities or the issuance of any order that would delay, enjoin, prevent, restrain or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.5 will require, or be construed to require, Parent or any of its Affiliates to agree to any of the following: (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or interests of Parent or any of its Affiliates and the Company, or (ii) accept any restrictions or limitations on the operation of assets, business or interests of Parent or any of its Affiliates and the Company.

6.6 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each individual person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of the Company, against any and all Losses in accordance with all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each such individual person provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws of the Company, any indemnification agreement between such officer or director of the Company and the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and set forth on Section 2.27 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and under Delaware Law as of the date of this Agreement.
6.7 Employee Matters. Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to continue to employ each of the employees of the Company at a level of wages, overall compensation and benefits
substantially similar to similarly situated employees of Parent as of the Closing Date at the location of each employee’s place of employment with the Company as of the Closing Date. Subject to any written agreements to the contrary and the other requirements of this Section 6.7, nothing contained in this Section 6.7, however, will prohibit Parent from terminating at will any such employees for any reason or no reason following the Closing. All service of the employees of the Surviving Corporation completed prior to the Closing Date will be recognized for vesting, accrual and eligibility purposes under the Employee Benefit Plans available to such employees after the Closing Date, provided, however, that for certain insured Employee Benefit Plans, Employee shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insured programs including any work requirement, physical examination requirements or exclusions, on the same basis as existing and similarly situated employees of Parent. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by such employees as of the Closing Date shall be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Closing Date up to a maximum accrual amount as defined by the Parent. Any vacation accrual in excess of the accrual limit set by Parent shall be paid by Parent or Surviving Corporation. Following the Closing, such employees will be subject to Parent’s FTO policy. Except as set forth in any offer letter or employment agreement, nothing in this Agreement creates or may be construed to create any rights, including any rights as a third-party beneficiary, in favor of any person (including the employees of the Company) other than the parties, or constitute an employment agreement or condition of employment for any employee of the Company, including any stockholder, optionholder or warrantholder.
6.8 Tax Matters. The following provisions will govern the allocation of responsibility for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:
(a) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Parent will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted by applicable Law with respect to any particular Tax regarding the Company, the Company shall elect to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period. All such Tax Returns for the Company shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with prior Tax Returns filed for the Company (except to the extent not permitted by applicable Laws or to the extent counsel for Parent determines that a Tax Return cannot be so prepared and filed or an item so reported without being subject to penalties). Parent shall permit the Stockholder Representatives to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by a Stockholder Representative. Parent shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to such Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within 15 days after payment by Parent or the Company of such Taxes to the extent Parent is entitled to indemnification for such Taxes pursuant to Section 5.2(a).
(b) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Parent will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns for the Company shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with prior Tax Returns filed for the Company (except to the extent not permitted by applicable Laws or to the extent counsel for Parent determines that a Tax Return cannot be so prepared and filed or an item so reported without being subject to penalties). Parent shall permit the Stockholder Representatives to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by a Stockholder Representative. Parent shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Fund, within 15 days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods, an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the extent Parent is entitled to indemnification for such Taxes pursuant to Section 5.2(a). For purposes of this Section 6.8(b), in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are
payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts, wages or expenditures, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period (excluding any increase in Taxes for the period as a result of the Merger) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, receipts, wages or expenditures, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date will be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.
(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. The parties will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.8 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon a party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent and the Stockholder Representatives agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or the Stockholder Representatives, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority. The parties further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).
(d) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the contemplated transactions will be paid by the Stockholder Representatives when due unless being contested in good faith, and the Stockholder Representatives will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, with such amounts paid or payable from the Expense Escrow Fund.
6.9 Full Access. During the Interim Period, the Company will permit Representatives of Parent to have full access, at all reasonable times and on reasonable notice, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Company, to all premises, properties, personnel, books, records (including Tax records), contracts and documents of or pertaining to the Company.

The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.
1.3 Procedures with Respect to Indemnification Claims.
(a) Claim. If, at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until December 31, 2011 (the “Claims Period”), the Parent desires to make a claim against the Escrow Property pursuant to its rights under Article V of the Merger Agreement (each, a “Claim”), the Parent, on its own behalf or on behalf of another indemnified party under the Merger Agreement (such claiming party, the “Claimant”), shall deliver a written notice of the Claim (a “Claims Notice”) to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to the Representative, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex I specifying the nature of the Claim, the estimated amount of damages to which the Claimant believes it is or may be entitled to under the Merger
Agreement (the “Claimed Amount”) and Claimant payment delivery instructions.
(b) Response by the Representative. Within 30 calendar days after receipt by the Escrow Agent of any Claims Notice (“Response Period”), the Representative shall, with respect to such Claims Notice, by written notice to the Parent and the Escrow Agent (a “Response Notice”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex II, either (a) concede liability for the Claimed Amount in whole, or (b) deny liability for the Claimed Amount in whole or in part (it being understood that any portion of the Claimed Amount for which the Representative has not denied liability within the Response Period shall be deemed to have been conceded). If the Representative denies liability in whole or in part, such Response Notice shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed description of the basis for such denial. The portion of the Claimed Amount for which the Representative has conceded liability is referred to herein as the “Conceded Amount.” If the Representative has conceded liability for any portion of the Claimed Amount, the Parent and the Representative, by joint written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex III, shall instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly pay to the applicable Claimant the Conceded Amount (such joint notice, the “Conceded Amount Notice”); provided, however, that if the Representative fails to deliver a Response Notice within the 30 calendar day period, the Representative shall be deemed to have conceded the Claimed Amount in full (and the Claimed Amount shall constitute the Conceded Amount) and the Escrow Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Claimant such Conceded Amount.
(c) Resolutions of Disputes.
(i) If, in a Response Notice, the Representative has denied liability for, or otherwise disputes, the Claimed Amount, in whole or in part, the Representative and the Parent, on behalf of the applicable Claimant, shall attempt to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible. If the Parent and the Representative resolve such dispute, they shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Conceded Amount Notice signed by each of them. Such Conceded Amount Notice shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the applicable Claimant the amount, if any, agreed to by both the Parent and the Representative in settlement of such dispute.
(ii) If the Parent and the Representative fail to resolve such dispute within 60 calendar days after receipt by Escrow Agent of the Response Notice corresponding to such dispute, the issue of liability for any such dispute with respect to Claims made pursuant to Article V of the Merger Agreement may be submitted by any party to a state or federal court located and sitting in the State of
Delaware that has appropriate subject matter jurisdiction chosen by either the Parent or the Representative (such court, the “Chosen Court”) for the purposes of obtaining a final, non-appealable order of such Chosen Court (an “Order”). Such Order Decision shall contain the amount, if any, of the Party’s liability for the Claimed Amount as finally determined by such Chosen Court (the “Ordered Amount”).
(d) Payment of Claims. The Escrow Agent promptly shall pay, no later than the fifth business day following the determination of a Payment Event (as such term is defined below), to the applicable Claimant from the Escrow Property: (i) following any concession (or deemed concession) of liability by the Representative, in whole or in part, the Conceded Amount as set forth in the Conceded Amount Notice; (ii) following expiration of the Response Period (pursuant to receipt by the Escrow Agent of any Claims Notice) in which the Escrow Agent did not receive a Response Notice from the Representative, the Claimed Amount; or (iii) following receipt by the Escrow Agent of any Order, the Ordered Amount (collectively, clauses (i), (ii), (iii), the “Payment Events”).
1.4 Disbursements.
(a) The Parties understand that (i) any investment earnings included in such Escrow Property shall have been or shall be reported for tax reporting purposes by the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 1.5 below and (ii) such Escrow Property (A) if disbursed to the Parent, shall be disbursed in accordance with the Parent’s written instructions, or (B) if disbursed as a portion of the Escrow Property, shall be disbursed to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as payment agent (the “Payment Agent”) pursuant to the terms of the Payment Agent Agreement entered into by the Payment Agent, the Parent and the Representatives.
(b) Upon receipt of a Conceded Notice with respect to a particular outstanding Claim, the Escrow Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Claimant, as the case may be, the Conceded Amount.
(c) Upon receipt of an Order with respect to a particular outstanding Claim, the Escrow Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Claimant, as the case may be, the Ordered Amount, if any.
(d) In the event that the Parties jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Escrow Property to any party, the Escrow Agent shall comply with such instructions, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(e) On January 1, 2012, the Escrow Agent shall release any remaining Escrow Property that is not the subject of a good faith outstanding Claim to the Payment Agent.
(f) The Parties agree that the residual interest, if the final release of the Escrow Property is mid-month, shall be wired to the Representatives.
1.5 Income Tax Allocation and Reporting.
(a) The Parties agree that all investment earnings and income with respect to the Escrow Property shall be allocated to the Parent for tax purposes. The Parties agree that if and to the extent that any portion of the Escrow Property is actually distributed to the stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders of the Company, interest may be imputed on such amount for tax purposes, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”). The Parent and either or both of the Representatives will provide the calculation for imputed interest amounts, if applicable, to the Escrow Agent. The Parties will file all tax returns consistently with the foregoing. Subject to Section 1.2(a), any investment earnings and income on the Escrow Property shall be divided and paid to the Parent and the Payment Agent for distribution to the stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders of the Company in accordance with the following: (i) 60% of such earnings and income shall become part of the Escrow Property and shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) 40% of such earnings and income shall not become part of the Escrow Property and shall be disbursed quarterly during the term of this Agreement to the Parent, as directed in writing by the Parent.
(b) Prior to the date hereof, the Parent shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate form W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request. The Parent understands that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Code to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Property.
(c) To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from the Escrow Property. The Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Escrow Property and the investment thereof unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other expense was directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided by this Section 1.5(c) is in addition to the
indemnification provided in Section 3.1 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement.
1.6 Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate on the later of (i) January 1, 2012, or (ii) final resolution of all outstanding Claims (at which time the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with Section 1.4 and this Escrow Agreement shall be of no further force and effect except that the provisions of Sections 1.5(c), 3.1 and 3.2 hereof shall survive termination.

The Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses or other professional fees and expenses which the Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Escrow Agent, arising out of or relating in any way to this Escrow Agreement or any transaction to which this Escrow Agreement relates, unless such loss, liability, cost, damage or expense shall have been finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent.

THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (II) SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.
3.3 Resignation or Removal. The Escrow Agent may resign by furnishing written notice of its resignation to the Parties, and the Parties may remove the Escrow Agent by furnishing to the Escrow Agent a joint written notice of its removal along with payment of all fees and expenses to which it is entitled through the date of termination. Such resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall be effective 30 days after the delivery of such notice or upon the earlier appointment
of a successor, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to safely keep the Escrow Property and to deliver the same to a successor escrow agent as shall be appointed by the Parties, as evidenced by a joint written notice filed with the Escrow Agent or in accordance with a court order. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of 30 days following the delivery of such notice of resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the Parties.

If any amount due to the Escrow Agent hereunder is not paid within 30 days of the date due, the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion may charge interest on such amount up to the highest rate permitted by applicable law. The Escrow Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, a prior lien upon the Escrow Property with respect to its unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights, superior to the interests of any other persons or entities and is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights from the Escrow Property.
3.5 Disagreements. If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent is authorized to retain the Escrow Property until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Property, (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute directing delivery of the Escrow Property, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with such final court order, arbitration decision, or agreement, or (iii) files an

The Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses or other professional fees and expenses which the Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Escrow Agent, arising out of or relating in any way to this Escrow Agreement or any transaction to which this Escrow Agreement relates, unless such loss, liability, cost, damage or expense shall have been finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement.
3.2 Limitation of Liability. THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (II) SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

The Escrow Agent may resign by furnishing written notice of its resignation to the Parties, and the Parties may remove the Escrow Agent by furnishing to the Escrow Agent a joint written notice of its removal along with payment of all fees and expenses to which it is entitled through the date of termination. Such resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall be
effective 30 days after the delivery of such notice or upon the earlier appointment of a successor, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to safely keep the Escrow Property and to deliver the same to a successor escrow agent as shall be appointed by the Parties, as evidenced by a joint written notice filed with the Escrow Agent or in accordance with a court order. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of 30 days following the delivery of such notice of resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the Parties.

If any amount due to the Escrow Agent hereunder is not paid within 30 days of the date due, the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion may charge interest on such amount up to the highest rate permitted by applicable law. The Escrow Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, a prior lien upon the Escrow Property with respect to its unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights, superior to the interests of any other persons or entities and is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights from the Escrow Property.

If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent is authorized to retain the Escrow Property until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Property, (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute directing delivery of the Escrow Property, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with
such final court order, arbitration decision, or agreement, or (iii) files an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the filing thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow Property and shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action.

3.7 Attachment of Escrow Property; Compliance with Legal Orders. In the event that any Escrow Property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, or which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction. In the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm or corporation, should, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding, such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
3.8 Force Majeure.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
Under federal income tax law, each registered holder of Shares, Converted Options, or Converted Warrants, who tenders this Letter of Transmittal and if applicable such documents or shares in exchange for a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger may be subject to backup withholding for all reportable payments made to the holder pursuant to the Merger. To prevent backup withholding on such payments, the holder is required to notify Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. of his or her correct TIN by completing the enclosed Form W-9, certifying that the TIN provided on Form W-9 is correct and that (1) the holder has not been notified by the IRS that he, she or it is subject to backup withholding as a result of the failure to report all interest or dividends, or (2) after being so notified, the IRS has notified the holder that he, she or it is no longer subject to backup withholding. Failure to provide the correct information on the Form W-9 may subject the holder to various penalties, including a penalty imposed by the IRS for each such failure (unless such failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect) and reportable payments that are made to such holder pursuant to the Merger may be subject to federal income tax backup withholding.
Each holder of Shares, Converted Options, or Converted Warrants is required to give Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. the TIN of the record holder of the Shares, or holders of Converted Options or Converted Warrants.
Certain holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. To avoid possible erroneous backup withholding, a stockholder, optionholder or warrantholder who is exempt from backup withholding should complete the Form W-9 by checking the box next to “Exempt Payee,” providing his or her correct TIN, and signing and dating the form. If you are not a U.S. person, you should provide the appropriate Form W-8 to avoid backup withholding.
If backup withholding applies, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. is required to withhold a portion of all reportable payments made to the holder at the maximum domestic rate. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, any amount of tax withheld will be credited against the tax liability of the person subject to the withholding. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.
For information as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the receipt of any portion of the Merger Consideration, as well as regarding their eligibility to claim an exemption from backup withholding, holders of Shares, Converted Options or Converted Warrants should consult their own Tax advisors. Backup withholding is separate from employment Tax withholding on compensation paid to employees. There will be withholding of applicable employment Taxes (income Tax withholding, Social Security and Medicaid) to the extent any payment pursuant to this letter of transmittal constitutes compensation to an employee of the Company. For example, payments of the Merger Consideration on Converted Options to employees or former employees will be treated as compensation to such employees and the applicable withholdings will be withheld from such persons’ payments of Merger Consideration pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal.
To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that any tax advice contained in this Letter of Transmittal is not intended or written to be used by any taxpayer, and cannot be used by any taxpayer, for the purpose of avoiding tax-
related penalties that otherwise may be imposed under the Internal Revenue Code on the taxpayer. Such advice was written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions or matters addressed herein.

2.4 Submission of Stock Certificates and/or Shares Held in Book-entry and Payment of Exchange Price.
(a) The Parent hereby directs the Payment Agent, consistent with this Agreement and the Letter of Transmittal and Schedule A, to promptly mail by first class mail to each Securityholder who has surrendered exchangeable shares of capital stock, warrants or options of the Company or at the request of such Securityholder make available for pick-up upon reasonable advance notice to allow for processing time, a check drawn, or remit a bank wire transfer (if applicable) in an amount set forth on Schedule A directly across from such Securityholder’s registration. Wire transfer instructions will be provided for each Securityholder electing a bank wire transfer. The Parent hereby directs the Payment Agent to make payment by wire transfer in accordance with the Securityholder’s completion of the Optional Wire Instructions without any further documentation, authentication or verification from the Securityholder or other party. Such check shall be made payable to the holder of record of the shares of capital stock, warrants or options of the Company represented by such certificates, warrants, options or book-entry shares or to the person whose name has been specified in the Letter of Transmittal received by the Payment Agent with respect to payment of initial Merger Consideration for such shares, warrants or options.
(b) Any Escrow Deposits or Deferred Merger Consideration payments will be paid to holders who have surrendered exchangeable shares of capital stock, warrants or options of the Company upon delivery of the funds from the Parent or the Escrow Fund, the Cash True-Up Fund and the Expense Escrow Fund to the Payment Agent for purpose of payment to Securityholders. The Payment Agent will forward all such payments by first-class mail, postage prepaid. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount(s) for the benefit of the Securityholder. Any Escrow Deposits or Deferred Merger Consideration payments will be made in accordance with written direction from the Representative. If any Escrow Deposit or Deferred Merger Consideration is to be characterized as interest, the
Representative will provide a breakdown of the dollar amount of principal and the dollar amount to be characterized as interest prior to the payment by the Payment Agent to any payee under this Agreement.
2.5 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Securityholder shall report that his, her or its failure to surrender any certificate or certificates representing shares of capital stock of the Company registered in his, her or its name is due to the loss, theft, misplacement or destruction of such certificate or certificates, and such Securityholder would, if such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates were in his, her or its possession, be entitled to any payment from the Payment Agent under this Agreement of more than $5,000, the Payment Agent may require such Securityholder to pay a replacement fee, and to furnish a bond of indemnity in form satisfactory to the Payment Agent and the Parent before delivering to such Securityholder or his, her or its transferee the Merger Consideration to which he, she or it is entitled. The value of the bond of indemnity shall be calculated by the Payment Agent, based on the value of lost or misplaced shares of capital stock of the Company.
2.6 Tax Reporting.
(a) Payments to Securityholders. The Payment Agent will prepare and file on behalf of the Parent, if required in connection with payments made by the Payment Agent to former Securityholders under this Agreement, the appropriate Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 1099B unless the Parent and Representative provide a revised Schedule A providing for the amount of the payment characterized as interest. The Payment Agent will report any amount characterized as interest on Form 1099INT or Form 1042S for foreign holders.
(b) Payments to Non-Employee Holders of Options. The Payment Agent will prepare and file on behalf of the Parent, if required in connection with payments made by the Payment Agent to former non-employee holders of options IRS Form 1099 MISC (specified as non-employee compensation). The Parent acknowledges the work preformed in lieu of options as income was performed domestically and is not considered foreign sourced income. All Escrow Deposits or Deferred Merger Consideration will be reported in the same manner using IRS Form 1099MISC (specified as non-employee compensation).
(c) Payments to Employee Optionholders. The Parent will handle or cause to be handled any tax reporting that must be done on W-2s. The Payment Agent will remit to the Parent (or other payroll administrator, as directed by the Parent) out of the Payment Fund the aggregate amount of all employee and employer payroll taxes related to any disbursements to an optionholder subject to W-2 reporting requirements. The Parent or such
payroll administrator will remit such funds to the appropriate taxing authority.
(d) IRS Tax Identification Forms. The Payment Agent shall be considered the payor with respect to payments made on behalf of the Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (except for payments of amounts characterized as interest or any payments made to employee optionholders). Accordingly, the Payment Agent is considered the “withholding agent” for all payments for which it is the payor of the payments as that term is defined under the regulations of the IRS. The Payment Agent will solicit Securityholders with IRS Form W-8 (foreign) as part of the Letter of Transmittal mailing. The Payment Agent will also either: (i) solicit Securityholders with IRS Form W-9 (domestic) as part of the Letter of Transmittal mailing; or (ii) receive from the Parent written certification that it has obtained or will obtain a certified Form W-9 from all Securityholders prior to delivery of the files with Securityholder information. The Parent hereby agrees that it shall retain any such W-9 forms and make them available to the Payment Agent upon the Payment Agent’s request. If such tax reporting documentation is not provided by the Securityholder or by the Parent and certified to the Payment Agent, the Payment Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any payment made to the Securityholder pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) Indemnification. The Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold the Payment Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Payment Agent arising out of or in connection with the performance of the Payment Agent’s obligations under the terms of this Section 2.6 unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other expense was directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Payment Agent. The indemnification provided by this Section 2.6(d) is in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 4.6 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Payment Agent and the termination of this Agreement.
(f) Reporting of Income. There will be no Interest or other investment income earned on the Payment Fund. Pursuant to the escrow agreements described in Sections 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 of this Agreement, the escrow agents administering the Escrow Fund, the Cash True-Up Fund and the Expense Escrow Fund are responsible for reporting income earned in each fund; as between such escrow agents and the Payment Agent, the Payment Agent will have no duty to report any such income.
2.7 Submission by Securityholders Not of Record but Who Have Acquired Their Shares, Warrants or Options in Due Course. Certain stock certificates, book-entry shares, warrants or options may be tendered by Securityholders who are holders in due course but are not registered holders. Upon submission of such a certificate, book-entry shares, warrant document or option document duly endorsed or with assignments duly executed by the registered holder (or his duly appointed agent, attorney, executor, administrator, guardian or other fiduciary), together with the requisite medallion guarantee of signature (and evidence of authority if appropriate) if such certificate, book-entry share(s), warrant document or option document is accompanied by a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, the Payment Agent will be entitled to treat such certificate, book-entry share(s), warrant document or option document as if surrendered by the registered holder thereof.
2.8 Cancellation of Surrendered Stock Certificates, Book-entry Shares, Warrants and Options; Securityholders Lists. At the time of the Payment Agent’s issuance of a check or wire transfer as described in Section 2.4 above, the Payment Agent will cancel each stock certificate, book-entry share(s), warrant or option surrendered in exchange for such check. For the term of this Agreement, the Payment Agent will maintain on a continuing basis a list of those Securityholders who have surrendered their stock certificates, book-entry shares, warrants or options, and at the request of the Parent or the Representative, the Payment Agent will inform the party making such request as to whether certain Securityholders have surrendered their shares, warrants or options. The Payment Agent will also make available to the Parent and the Representative such other information as it may have in its possession and as they may reasonably request from time to time.
2.9 Cancelled Stock. Subject to applicable law and regulation, the Payment Agent shall maintain (i) in a retrievable database electronic records or (ii) in hard copy form physical records of all cancelled or destroyed stock certificates, which have been cancelled or destroyed by the Payment Agent. The Payment Agent shall maintain such electronic records or physical records for the time period required by applicable law and regulation. Upon written request of the Parent and at the expense of the Parent, the Payment Agent shall provide to the Parent or its designee copies of such electronic records or physical records relating to stock certificates cancelled or destroyed by the Payment Agent.
2.10 Mailing of Second Letter of Transmittal and Unexchanged Securityholder Program. The Payment Agent shall send a second Letter of Transmittal to all Securityholders that have failed to send in their capital stock, warrants or options of the Company for exchange at a time deemed appropriate by the Payment Agent, which will typically be not earlier than four and not later than eight months after the Effective Time of the Merger. At the time deemed appropriate by the Payment Agent, which will typically be 10 or more months after the Effective Time of the Merger, the Payment Agent may utilize the services of an unexchanged
stockholder search company (a “Search Company”) for the purpose of locating unexchanged Securityholders and assisting them in exchanging their shares, warrants or options. An additional agreement may need to be signed at that time, and the Payment Agent is hereby authorized and directed by the Parent and the Representative to enter into such an agreement. Such Search Company may charge any Securityholder it locates a fee which shall not exceed 10% of the total value of the Merger Consideration to which such Securityholder is entitled; it will not charge the Parent a fee; it may compensate the Payment Agent for processing exchanges and for other work it does to enable the Search Company to implement its search program. If the Parent or the Representative requires the Payment Agent to work with an unexchanged stockholder search company other than the one it has selected, additional fees may apply.
3. Unclaimed Property.
3.1 Unclaimed Property Administration. Subject to applicable unclaimed property laws, the Payment Agent will initiate unclaimed property reporting services for unclaimed shares and related cash distributions, which may be deemed abandoned or otherwise subject to applicable unclaimed property law or regulation. Such services may include preparation of unclaimed property reports, delivery of abandoned property to various states, completion of required due diligence notifications, responses to inquiries from owners, and such other services as may reasonably be necessary to comply with applicable unclaimed property laws or regulations.
3.2 Information about Unclaimed Property. The Parent and the Representative shall assist the Payment Agent and provide such cooperation as may reasonably be necessary in the performance of the services hereunder including delivery to the Payment Agent of any and all such unclaimed property related to the Securityholders’ transaction which may not otherwise be in the Payment Agent’s possession.
3.3 Inquiries about Unclaimed Property. The Payment Agent shall assist the Parent or the Representative in responding to inquiries from administrators of state unclaimed property law or regulation regarding reports filed on the Company’s behalf or in response to requests to confirm the name of a reclaiming owner. The Payment Agent shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain release agreements from the various states offering such release agreements with respect to reports and abandoned property delivered to them and indemnification agreements from those states willing to provide them.
3.4 Remittance of Unclaimed Property. The Payment Agent or its duly appointed agent shall timely remit unclaimed funds to the appropriate state or jurisdiction, as provided for under applicable unclaimed property law or regulation. The Payment Agent shall provide such reports regarding unclaimed property services hereunder as the Parent or the Representative may reasonably request from time to time.
3.5 Lost Security Holder Search Services. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules (See SEC Rule 240.17Ad-17, as amended), the Payment Agent is required to provide the following services regarding lost security holder accounts, which together constitute Standard Search Services: (a) conduct a national database search between three and 12 months after a lost security holder account is identified; (b) if the first national database search is not successful in locating the holder, conduct a second search between six and 12 months later; and (c) report to the SEC in required filings, information about the age of lost security holder accounts and amounts escheated to the various states.
3.6 Exceptions to SEC Lost Security Holder Search Requirements. Exceptions to the SEC search requirements include deceased security holders, security holders that are not natural persons (e.g., corporations, partnerships), and cases where the value of all amounts due to the security holder are less than $25.
4. Miscellaneous.
4.1 Advice of Counsel.
(a) Advice in Case of Defective Submission. The Payment Agent is authorized to cooperate with and furnish information to the Parent and shall seek and follow, and may rely upon, advice of the Parent, Representative or their respective counsel with respect to any action to be taken by the Payment Agent if the Payment Agent receives any of the following:
(i) any request for payment with respect to certificates or documents evidencing warrants or options claimed to be lost or stolen;
(ii) any submission of stock certificates or documents evidencing warrants or options not accompanied by a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal;
(iii) any request that payment be made with respect to any shares of capital stock, warrants or options of the Company to any person other than the registered holder thereof (except as provided for in Section 2.7 above); or
(iv) any request by a Securityholder that the Payment Agent take any action other than that specified in this Agreement with respect to the exchange of his, her or its shares of capital stock of the Company for cash, payments to former holders of options, warrants, and other types of securities entitled to exchange or payment, or payments of Escrow Deposits or Deferred Merger Consideration.
(b) Advice in Other Cases. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1(a) above, the Payment Agent may, when the Payment Agent deems it desirable and after prior consultation with the Parent or the Representative, seek advice of the Payment Agent’s own counsel in connection with the Payment Agent’s services as Payment Agent hereunder and the Payment Agent shall be entitled in to rely in good faith upon any such advice received in writing and to be compensated for the fees and expenses of such counsel as provided in Section 4.2 below.
4.2 Fees and Expenses. The Parent and the Representative will each pay or cause to be paid to the Payment Agent 50% of the fees for the Payment Agent’s services hereunder as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, payable upon the Payment Agent’s invoice to the Parent. All out-of-pocket costs will be reimbursed to the Payment Agent 50% by the Parent and 50% by the Representative. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, postage, mail insurance, stationery and supplies, checks, envelopes, paper stock and fees and expenses of counsel. Payment Agent agrees that it will endeavor to obtain competitive rates for out-of-pocket costs; however, these costs as passed on to the Parent and the Representative may include charges to cover the cost of receipt and handling of invoices.
4.3 Timeliness and Accuracy of Records. The Payment Agent’s agreement to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the fee schedule attached assumes that the records of the Company or its transfer agent are accurate, received in a timely fashion and in good order so that conversion of the records may be completed efficiently and additional balancing and/or correcting of the records shall not be required. If the records are received late, or are inaccurate, incomplete and/or otherwise not in good order, the mailing of materials to stockholders may need to be delayed and additional fees may apply as appropriate for time spent correcting and/or balancing the records.

4.5 Reliance upon Certificates, Instructions. The Payment Agent shall be protected in relying and acting, or refusing to act, without further investigation upon any certificate or certification, instruction, direction, statement, request, consent, agreement, or other instrument (collectively “Certificates and Instructions”) whatsoever furnished to the Payment Agent by an authorized representative of the Parent or the Representative, not only as to its due execution and validity and the effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which the Payment Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine or to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons. The Payment Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the accuracy or inaccuracy of such Certificates and Instructions.
4.6 Indemnification. The Parent and the Representative will, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Payment Agent from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs, damages or expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred or made, arising out of or in connection with the performance of the Payment Agent’s obligations under the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, acting, or refusing to act, in reliance upon any signature, endorsement, assignment, certificate, order, request, notice, report, record, instructions or other instrument or document believed by the Payment Agent in good faith to be valid, genuine and sufficient; provided, however, such indemnification shall not apply to any such act or omission finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Payment Agent. The Payment Agent shall be under no obligation to institute or defend any action, suit, or legal proceeding in connection herewith or to take any other action likely to involve the Payment Agent in expense, unless first indemnified to the Payment Agent’s satisfaction. The indemnities provided by this paragraph shall survive the resignation or discharge of the Payment Agent or the termination of this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Payment Agent, the Parent or the Representative be liable under or in connection with this Agreement for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Payment Agent, the Parent or the Representative has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.
4.7 Term. The Parent, the Representative and the Payment Agent agree that, unless terminated in writing by any party with 30 days notice, this Agreement shall terminate either upon completion of the exchange of all shares of capital stock of the Company and other payments subject to this Agreement and all Escrow Deposits and Deferred Merger Consideration payments have been made or upon completion of all unclaimed property reporting and escheatment obligations arising in connection with the Merger and the duties of the Payment Agent pursuant to this Agreement. If after twelve months any shares of capital stock, warrants or options of the Company remain unexchanged or other payments
remain unpaid and moneys and/or securities on deposit hereunder are not escheatable in accordance with unclaimed property laws and regulations, then the Payment Agent may terminate this Agreement and any remaining property may be delivered to the Parent. Thereafter, the Parent shall be responsible for compliance with unclaimed property obligations.
4.8 Amendments, etc. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto. Any inconsistency between this Agreement on the one hand and the Merger Agreement and the Letter of Transmittal on the other shall be resolved in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Letter of Transmittal, with the qualification that (a) the Payment Agent is not a party to the Merger Agreement and as such is not subject to its terms, as noted in Section 1.2 above, and (b) the rights and obligations of the Payment Agent shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement. In the absence of written notice from the Parent or the Representative to the effect that an inconsistency exists between the Merger Agreement or Letter of Transmittal and this Agreement, the Payment Agent shall be entitled to assume that no such inconsistency exists.
4.9 Notices. All notices to be given by one party to the other under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sufficient if made to such party at their respective address set forth below by:

5. Confidentiality.
5.1 Confidential Data. The Payment Agent, the Parent and the Representative acknowledge that during the course of this Agreement, the parties hereto may make confidential data available to each other or may otherwise obtain proprietary or confidential information regarding the Company, its stockholders or other rights owners, or the Payment Agent (collectively, hereinafter “Confidential Data”). Confidential Data includes all information not generally known or used by others and which gives, or may give the possessor of such information an advantage over its competitors or which could cause the Parent or the Payment Agent injury, loss of reputation or loss of goodwill if disclosed. Such information includes, but is not limited to, data or information which identifies past, current or potential customers, stockholders, business practices, financial results, research, development, systems and plans; and/or certain information and material identified by the Company or the Payment Agent as “Proprietary” or “Confidential”; and/or data the Payment Agent furnishes to the Parent from the Payment Agent’s database; and/or data received from the Company or the Parent and enhanced by the Payment Agent. Confidential Data may be written, oral, recorded, or maintained on other forms of electronic media. Because of the sensitive nature of the information that the Parent, the Representative or the Payment Agent and its employees or agents may obtain as a result of this Agreement, the intent of the parties is that these provisions be interpreted as broadly as possible to protect Confidential Data.
5.2 Relief. The Payment Agent acknowledges that all Confidential Data furnished by the Parent or the Representative is considered proprietary and strictly confidential. The Payment Agent also acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Data may cause irreparable harm to the Parent or the Representative. Accordingly, the Payment Agent agrees that the Representative shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, in addition to all other remedies available at law for any threatened or actual breach of this agreement or any threatened or actual unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Data. The Parent and the Representative agree that the provisions
and remedies of this section shall also apply to Confidential Data received by the Parent or the Representative relating to the Payment Agent.
5.3 Security Measures. The Payment Agent will employ the same security measures to protect Confidential Data received from the Parent or the Representative that it would employ for its own comparable confidential information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care in handling Confidential Data). Without limiting the foregoing, the Payment Agent further agrees, subject to applicable law and regulations, that: (i) Confidential Data shall not be distributed, disclosed, or conveyed to any third party except by prior written approval of the party to whom such Confidential Data relates; (ii) no copies or reproductions shall be made of any Confidential Data, except as needed to provide the services described in this Agreement; and (iii) the Payment Agent shall not use any Confidential Data for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third party.
5.4 Subpoena, Summons or Legal Process. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Payment Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and the Representative in writing of any subpoena, summons or other legal process served on the Payment Agent for the purpose of obtaining Confidential Data (i) consisting of a stockholder list, such as an identified class of stockholders, or (ii) relating to significant regulatory action or litigation that would have a material effect on the performance of the Payment Agent or corporate status of the Company or the Parent. In such cases, the Parent and the Representative shall have a reasonable opportunity to seek appropriate protective measures; provided, however, that this subsection shall not require the Payment Agent to notify the Parent or the Representative of its receipt of any subpoena, summons or other legal process seeking Confidential Data for a single Securityholder or group of related stockholders in connection with routine tax levies or other routine third party litigation involving a Securityholder or if the Payment Agent is prohibited by law or regulation from making such disclosure. The Parent will indemnify the Payment Agent for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Payment Agent in connection with determining the lawful release of the Confidential Data.
5.5 Exceptions. The obligations set forth in Sections 5.1 through 5.4 above shall not apply to:
(a) any disclosure specifically authorized in writing by the Parent, the Representative or the Payment Agent;
(b) any disclosure required by applicable law or regulation, including pursuant to a court order; or
(c) Confidential Data which:
(i) has become public without violation of this Agreement; or
(ii) was disclosed to the receiving party by a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality to any party; or
(iii) was independently developed by the disclosing party not otherwise in violation or breach of this Agreement or any other obligation of the parties to each other; or
(iv) was rightfully known to the receiving party prior to entering into this Agreement.
5.6 Obligations Beyond Termination or Assignment. The obligations of each party set forth in Sections 5.5(a), (b) and (c) above shall survive termination or assignment of this Agreement.
5.7 Compliance. The Payment Agent’s appointment and acceptance of its duties under this Agreement is contingent upon verification of all regulatory requirements applicable to the Company and the Parent, including successful completion of a final background check. These conditions include, without limitation, requirements under the USA Patriot Act Customer Identification Program (CIP), the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), and the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), each as may be amended from time to time. If these conditions are not met, the Payment Agent may at its option promptly terminate this Agreement in whole or in part, and without the Payment Agent having any liability or incurring any additional costs.

NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT
This Non-Solicitation Agreement (this “Agreement”) between Xxxxxx Software Americas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and (the “Stockholder”), takes effect on December , 2010. The Parent and the Stockholder are each sometimes referred to in this Agreement as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. The Stockholder owns shares of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Enwisen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
B. The Parent, the Company, Xxxxxx HCM, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (“Merger Sub”), and each of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxxxxx in their capacities as the Stockholder Representatives, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December , 2010, regarding the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger Agreement”).
C. The Parent has required the Stockholder to enter into this Agreement as a condition to the Parent’s obligation to participate in the Closing pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Merger Agreement.
D. The Stockholder will receive a portion of the Merger Consideration paid by the Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the Stockholder will receive substantial benefits from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and desires to execute and deliver this Agreement as a condition to the closing of such transactions.
E. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the above recitals and the promises set forth in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Nonsolicitation. For a period of one year from and after the Closing Date, neither the Stockholder nor any of his Affiliates will directly or indirectly (a) induce or attempt to induce any employee, officer, director, independent contractor, consultant, agent or other personnel of the Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Company) to leave the employ of the Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company), (b) induce or attempt to induce any employee, officer, director, independent contractor, consultant, agent or other personnel of the Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Company) to work for, render services or provide advice to or supply confidential business information or trade secrets
of the Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company) to any person, or (c) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other person having a business relationship with the Company to cease doing business with the Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company).
2. Non-Disparagement. The Stockholder will not make any disparaging statements, whether oral or written, about the Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company) and their products, services, directors, officers, or employees.
3. Severability. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.
4. Injunctive Relief. If the Stockholder commits a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, then the Parent will have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by way of a preliminary or permanent injunction by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Stockholder and the Parent that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the Parent and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Parent. In light of these considerations, the Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that a court of competent jurisdiction should immediately enjoin any breach or threatened breach of Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement upon the Parent’s request, and the Parent is released from the requirement of posting any bond in connection with temporary or preliminary injunctive relief. Such right to injunctive relief will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Parent under law or in equity.
5. Obligations Reasonable. The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the obligations described in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary (a) to protect the Parent’s legitimate business interests, including without limitation the confidential and professional information and trade secrets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company), and (b) in order to induce the Parent to participate in the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
6. Enforcement by Affiliates. The Parent’s rights under this Agreement may be enforced by the Parent, its Affiliates (including the Company) or any successor or assign of any of the Parent or its Affiliates.
7. Miscellaneous.
