ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE
SECTION 1.01. Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, Parent agrees to purchase from the Accredited
Stockholder, and the Accredited Stockholder agrees to sell to Parent, those
shares of Company Stock held by such Accredited Stockholder as indicated on the
final page of this Agreement under such Accredited Stockholder's signature. The
Company Stock held by the Accredited Stockholder shall be exchanged, at the
Closing, for the number of shares of Parent Stock (rounded to the nearest ten-
thousandth of a share) equal to the number of shares of Common Stock multiplied
by the Exchange Ratio, as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement.
SECTION 1.02. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of
this Agreement and the Closing, any change in the outstanding shares of capital
stock of Company or Parent shall occur, including by reason of any
reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or
readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during
such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to
this Agreement and, if applicable, the Exchange Ratio and its determination
shall be appropriately adjusted.
SECTION 1.03. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Stock
shall be issued pursuant to this Agreement. Such holder shall be entitled to
receive, in lieu thereof, an amount in cash without interest determined by
multiplying the closing sale price of a share of Parent Stock on the Nasdaq
National Market on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing by the
fraction of a share of Parent Stock to which such holder would otherwise have
been entitled.
SECTION 1.04. Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to
this Article such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect
to the making of any payment under any provision of federal, state, local or
foreign tax law. If Parent so withholds such tax amounts, such amounts shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of
the shares of Company Stock with respect to whom Parent made such deduction and
withholding.
SECTION 1.05. Closing. The closing (the "Closing") of the purchase of
the Company Stock shall take place at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx at
0000 Xx Xxxxxx Xxxx in Menlo Park, California, at such time as Parent shall
determine that it has received the Stock Purchase Agreements and Proxy
2
Agreements representing at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding voting
securities of the Company, or at such other time or place as the Company and
Parent may agree (the "Closing Date"). At the Closing:

Stockholder certificates, or other appropriate documentation, evidencing shares

of such Accredited Stockholder.
(c) Each Accredited Stockholder shall execute a Waiver of Notice,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and a Written Consent
