Directors of the Surviving Corporation shall consist of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, A.

SECTION 4. MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OR CANCELLATION OF
SHARES IN THE MERGER
4.1 SHARE CONSIDERATION FOR THE MERGER; CONVERSION OR CANCELLATION OF
SHARES IN THE MERGER. The manner of converting or canceling shares of the
Company and the Surviving Corporation in the Merger shall be as follows:
(a) MERGER CONSIDERATION. Subject to Section 4.4, at the
Effective Time, each share of common stock, no par value per share, of the
Company (the "Company Common Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time (other than Company Common Shares owned by the Company or
any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, if any), shall,
by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
3
8
holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive 3,687.8441 shares of
common stock, par value $.02 per share, of Zoll ("Zoll Common Shares"), rounded
to the nearest whole number, such that Zoll shall issue an aggregate of not more
than 409,350 shares at Closing in connection with the Merger plus an additional
3,000 Zoll Common Shares to be issued in consideration of the Agreements set
forth in Section 7.2. The 409,350 Zoll Common Shares are hereinafter referred to
as the "Merger Consideration."
(b) SHARE CANCELLATION. Each Company Common Share that is
directly owned by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be canceled
and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered or
deliverable in exchange therefor.
(c) STATUS OF SHARES. All Company Common Shares to be
converted pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the holders thereof, cease to be outstanding,
be canceled and retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate
representing any such Company Common Shares (a "Company Certificate") shall
thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Shares,
except the right to receive for each of the Company Common Shares upon the
surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 4.2, a proportionate
share of the Merger Consideration. Each share of common stock of the Merger Sub
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and
become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving
Corporation and a certificate for which shall be issued to the stockholder of
Merger Sub.
(d) OPTIONS. At the Effective Time, the outstanding option to
purchase Company Common Shares (each, an "Option") issued pursuant to an
employment offer letter, shall be assumed by the Buyer and shall constitute an
option to acquire 12,650 Zoll Common Shares (which is based on the number of
Company Common Shares covered by the Option multiplied by 3,687.8441), at an
exercise price of $.02 per Zoll Common Share (which is based on the exercise
price per share of the Option divided by 3,687.8441, and rounded up to the
nearest whole cent). Employment with the Company or any subsidiary thereof shall
be credited to holders of Options for purposes of determining the number of
vested Zoll Common Shares subject to exercise under converted Options after the
Effective Time. None of the Options that is unvested at the Effective Time shall
become vested as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
consummation of the Merger. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but
no later than 30 days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the
holders of Options appropriate notices informing such holders that such options
have been assumed by the Surviving Corporation and will constitute options to
purchase Zoll Common Shares as provided above on substantially the same terms
and conditions as their options (subject to the adjustments required by this
Section 4.1 after giving effect to the Merger).
4.2 EXCHANGE AND PAYMENT PROCEDURES.
(a) SHARE EXCHANGE. At or as soon as practicable after the
Effective Time, Zoll shall make available, and each holder of common stock of
the Company (each a "Company Stockholder") will be entitled to receive, upon
surrender to Zoll of one or more
4
9
certificates representing Company Common Shares for cancellation, that number of
shares of Zoll Common Shares that such Company Stockholder is entitled to
receive pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof. The certificates representing the Zoll
Common Shares (the "Zoll Certificates") that each Company Stockholder shall be
entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued
at the Effective Time.
(b) INTEREST; TAXES. No interest shall accrue on the Merger
Consideration. Neither Zoll nor any other party hereto shall be liable to a
holder of Company Common Shares for any amount delivered to a public official
pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(c) PAYMENT. After the Effective Time, any holders of Company
Common Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Section 4 shall
thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment to which they are
entitled.
(d) WITHHOLDING RIGHTS. The Surviving Corporation shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Shares such
amounts as the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with
respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state,
local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the
Surviving Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company
Common Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the
Surviving Corporation.
(e) STOCK TRANSFER BOOKS. After the Effective Time, there
shall be no transfers of any Company Common Shares on the stock transfer books
of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates
are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged
in accordance with this Section 4.2.
4.3 DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary, Company Common Shares that are outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by Stockholders who
shall have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and
who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in
accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares")
shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger
Consideration. Such Stockholders instead shall be entitled to receive payment of
the appraised value of such Company Common Shares held by them in accordance
with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held
by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have
withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Company Common Shares under
such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to
have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive,
without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration upon surrender in the
manner provided in Section 4.2, of the certificate or certificates that,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, evidenced such Company Common Shares.

benefits under such Employee Program, or if such Employee Program
provides benefits to or otherwise covers employees of such entity, or
their spouses, dependents, or beneficiaries.

legend in substantially the form provided below (in addition to any
legend required under applicable state securities laws).

SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION.
10.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY STOCKHOLDERS. Each Stockholder severally agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless Zoll and Merger Sub and their respective
directors, officers, agents, affiliates and employees (each a "Zoll Indemnified
Party") from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, liabilities,
losses, damages, and expenses of every nature and character whether accrued,
absolute, contingent or otherwise (including, but not by way of limitation, all
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Zoll or Merger Sub and all amounts paid
by it in settlement of any claim, action, suit or liability) (collectively, a
"Claim"), which arise or result directly or indirectly by reason of:
(i) Any error, misstatement or omission in any
representation or warranty made by the Company or any Stockholder in
this Agreement, any Schedule or exhibit hereto, or in any document or
instrument provided for herein or furnished or to be furnished to Zoll
or Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement;
(ii) Any breach of or default in performance of any
of the covenants, agreements or other undertakings of the Company or
any Stockholder;
(iii) Inadequate reserves on the Base Balance Sheet
for any Product or service of the Company produced or furnished by the
Company on or prior to the Closing; and
(iv) Any action or inaction by the Company or any
event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing with respect to
the Company on or prior to the Closing;
provided, however, that (A) the indemnification obligation of the Stockholders
hereunder shall be limited to the lessor of (A) $12,000,000 less any amounts
paid to the Zoll Indemnified Parties pursuant to the indemnification provisions
of the LLC Purchase Agreement executed by the parties hereto and Pinpoint
Properties Management, LLC of even date herewith (the "LLC Purchase Agreement")
(the "Indemnity Cap") and (B), if the Stockholders unanimously determine in
their discretion, the Indemnity Cap shall be fully satisfied by the remittance
to Zoll of 425,000 Zoll Common Shares in the aggregate, provided, however, that
such limitations shall not apply to indemnification claims relating to or
arising from a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Sections
5.3, 5.4, 5.6, 6.1 and 6.2; (B) each Stockholder shall only be liable for his
pro rata share of the total indemnification obligation (such pro rata share
constituting the equivalent of each Stockholder's ownership percentage in the
Company just prior to the Closing); (C) the obligation to pay any amounts due
hereunder shall not commence until Buyer has registered one-half of the Zoll
Common Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement, though the obligation to pay such amounts shall accrue
irrespective of such registration or lack thereof; and (D) the indemnification
obligation hereunder shall terminate twelve (12) months after the date such
obligation commences, except that Claims relating to or involving tax matters
shall expire on
25
30
the date three months after the applicable statute of limitations relating
thereto. In the event the Stockholders determine to satisfy their
indemnification obligations with Zoll Common Shares, such stock shall be valued
at the closing price of the Zoll Common Shares on the date Zoll notifies the
Stockholders of the existence of the relevant Claim.
10.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY ZOLL. Zoll and Merger Sub shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Stockholders (each a "Seller Indemnified Party"), from and
against any and all Claims which arise or result directly or indirectly by
reason of:
(i) Any error, misstatement or omission in any
representation or warranty made by Zoll or Merger Sub in this
Agreement, any Schedule or exhibit hereto, or in any document or
instrument provided for herein or furnished or to be furnished to the
Stockholders in connection with this Agreement;
(ii) Any breach of or default in performance of any
of the covenants, agreements or other undertakings of Zoll or Merger
Sub;
(iii) Any Product or service of the Surviving
Corporation produced or furnished after the Closing;
(iv) Any action or inaction by Zoll or Merger Sub or
any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing with respect
to the Company after the Closing (except to the extent any Stockholder
is, under the terms hereof or of any agreement contemplated hereby,
liable or responsible therefor or obligated to indemnify Zoll or Merger
Sub with respect thereto).
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.2 to the contrary, Zoll and
Merger Sub shall not be required to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties with
respect to any Claims in an aggregate amount in excess of $12,000,000 less any
amounts paid to a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to the LLC Purchase
Agreement and the indemnification obligation hereunder shall terminate twelve
(12) months after the date such obligation commences.

connection with the negotiation and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and no expenses of the Company or the
Stockholders relating in any way to the purchase and sale of the Company Common
Shares hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without
limitation legal, accounting or other professional expenses of the Company or
any Stockholder shall be charged to or paid by the Company, the Surviving
Corporation, or Zoll.
26
31

limitation, all transfer taxes and charges applicable to such transfer, and all
costs of obtaining permits, waivers, registrations or consents with respect to
any assets, rights or contracts of the Company.

governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its
conflict of laws provisions; provided, however, that the parties hereby agree
that the venue for this agreement shall be in Denver, Colorado.
11.3 NOTICES. Any notice, request, demand or other communication
required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been given if delivered or sent by facsimile transmission, upon receipt, or if

Any notice given hereunder may be given on behalf of any party by his counsel or
other authorized representatives.
11.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, including the Schedules and
Exhibits referred to herein and the other writings specifically identified
herein or contemplated hereby, is complete, reflects the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes all previous written
or oral negotiations, commitments and writings, including without limitation,
the Letter of Intent among the Company, Zoll and the Stockholders, dated
September 1, 1999. No promises, representations, understandings, warranties and
agreements have been made by any of the parties hereto except as referred to
herein or in such Schedules and Exhibits or in such other writings; and all
inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by either party hereto
have been expressed herein or in such Schedules or Exhibits or in such other
writings.
11.5 ASSIGNABILITY; BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall only be
assignable by Zoll to an affiliate of Zoll upon written notice to the Company
and the Stockholders, and such assignment shall not relieve Zoll of any
liability hereunder. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Stockholders or
the Company without the prior written consent of Zoll. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
11.6 CAPTIONS AND GENDER. The captions in this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any
term or provision hereof. The use in this Agreement of the masculine pronoun in
reference to a party hereto shall be deemed to include the feminine or neuter,
as the context may require.
11.7 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. For the convenience of the parties and
to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same document.
11.8 AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may not be amended or modified, nor may
compliance with any condition or covenant set forth herein be waived, except by
a writing duly and validly executed by each party hereto, or in the case of a
waiver, the party waiving compliance.
11.9 PUBLICITY AND DISCLOSURES. No press releases or public disclosure,
either written or oral, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
shall be made by a party to this Agreement without the prior knowledge and
written consent of Zoll and the Company.
11.10 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties agree that it would be
difficult to measure damages which might result from a breach of this Agreement
by the Company, the Stockholders or Zoll and that money damages would be an
inadequate remedy for such a breach. Accordingly, if there is a breach or
proposed breach of any provision of this
28
33
Agreement by the Company, the Stockholders or Zoll, the other party shall be
entitled, in addition to any other remedies which it may have, to an injunction,
specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain or remedy
such breach without having to show or prove actual damage to Zoll, Merger Sub or
the Stockholders, as the case may be.
11.11 DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Except with respect to matters as to which
injunctive relief is being sought, in the event of a dispute between the parties
concerning their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, or the
breach, termination, negotiation, or validity hereof and/or the rights or
obligations of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
breach, termination, negotiation or validity thereof, in any case that the
parties are unable to resolve amicably between themselves within sixty (60) days
of proper notice from one party to another, such dispute shall be settled by
arbitration in Denver, Colorado in an expedited manner in accordance with the
Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a panel of three
arbitrators. Zoll shall select one arbitrator, the other party to the dispute
shall select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall in good faith jointly
select a third arbitrator. All arbitrators so selected shall be commercially
sophisticated parties with knowledge of the software industry. The decision of
the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each of the parties
consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of Denver, Colorado for the
purposes of enforcing the dispute resolution provisions of this Section 11.11.
Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before the
American Arbitration Association based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to
the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
agrees not to make a claim in any court that dispute resolution before the
American Arbitration Association has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction is made
for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.
