AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the “Agreement”) dated as of July 21, 2004, by and among Marchex, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Parent”), Project TPS, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Acquisition Corp.”), xxXxxxx.xxx, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut (the “Company”) and Xxxx Xxxxxx III, the holder of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company (the “Sole Stockholder”).

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of the Parent, Acquisition Corp. and the Company have approved the merger of Acquisition Corp. with and into the Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to which the Company will be the surviving corporation and the Sole Stockholder will be entitled to receive the consideration provided for in this Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Sole Stockholder has signed this Agreement and has signed and delivered herewith to Parent irrevocable proxies or written consents adopting and approving this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. (a) At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Certificates of Merger (as defined in Sections 1.2), the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and the Connecticut General Statutes (the “CGS”), Acquisition Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Acquisition Corp. shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation. The Company as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

(b) Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Article XI and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles IX and X, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) business days) after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles IX and X, at the offices of Xxxxx Peabody LLP, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the Company and the Parent. The date of such Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

-1 -

1.2 Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles IX and X, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing articles or certificate of merger as contemplated by the DGCL and the CGS in the forms of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 attached hereto (the “Certificates of Merger”), together with any required related certificates, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of State of the State of Connecticut, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL and the CGS (the time of such filing being the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificates of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the CGS. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Acquisition Corp. shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Acquisition Corp. shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, all without further act or deed.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; By-Laws.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended in accordance with CGS and such Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) By-Laws. At Effective Time, the By-Laws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with CGS, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such By-Laws.

1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of the Acquisition Corp. immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Acquisition Corp. immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.6 Additional 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 acts or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation, its right, title or interest in or to any of the rights, properties or assets of Acquisition Corp. or the Company acquired or to be acquired by reason of, or as a result of, the Merger, or otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and its proper officers and directors shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Acquisition Corp. or the Company, all such deeds, bills of

-2 -

sale, assignments and assurances and to do, in the name and on behalf of Acquisition Corp. or the Company, all such other acts and things necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to or under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

1.7 Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Merger Consideration (as hereinafter defined) payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company may be required to pay, deduct or withhold therefrom under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law resulting from the transactions contemplated herein. To the extent such amounts are so paid, deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

ARTICLE II

CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF SHARES

2.1 Total Merger Consideration. The consideration payable in the Merger to the holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”) shall consist of (a) that number of shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) as shall be obtained by dividing $4,250,000 by the Closing Market Price (as hereinafter defined) (the “Equity Consideration”), and (b) $8,229,750 (the “Cash Consideration”). Such Equity Consideration and Cash Consideration which shall be issuable or payable at the Closing, as the case may be, as provided herein shall in the aggregate be referred to as the “Merger Consideration”. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Closing Market Price” shall mean $9.803, the average of the last quoted sale price for shares of Parent Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the date of execution hereof.

2.2 Conversion of Shares.

(a) Conversion of Shares. Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time (other than shares owned by holders who have properly exercised their rights of appraisal within the meaning of Section 33-856 of the CGS (“Dissenting Shares”)) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically be converted into (A) an amount in cash equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Cash Consideration by (y) the total number of Fully Diluted Shares (as herein defined) as of the Effective Time and (B) that number of shares of Parent Common Stock as shall be obtained by dividing (xx) the Equity Consideration by (yy) the total number of Fully Diluted Shares (as herein defined) as of the Effective Time. Such resulting quotients are referred to herein as the “Exchange Ratio.” “Fully Diluted Shares” shall be equal to the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, immediately prior to the Closing Date, calculated on a fully diluted, fully converted basis as though all convertible debt and equity securities and

-3 -

options (whether vested or unvested) and warrants had been converted or exercised. Schedule 2.2 attached hereto sets forth, with respect to the Merger Consideration, (i) the Exchange Ratio, (ii) the aggregate cash payment to be paid in connection with the Merger to the Sole Stockholder (iii) and the aggregate Equity Consideration to be issued in connection with the Merger to the Sole Stockholder.

(b) Treasury Shares. Each share of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury as of the Effective Time, if any, shall, by virtue of the Merger, be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Acquisition Corp. Shares. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Acquisition Corp. issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, as such shares of common stock are constituted immediately following the Effective Time.

2.3 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) At the Closing, certificates (the “Certificates”) representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be surrendered for cancellation and termination in the Merger. At the Effective Time, each Certificate shall be canceled in exchange for the amount of Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2(a). After payment of all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.5 from the Cash Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration, the Merger Consideration shall be distributed as follows to the extent Certificates have been surrendered, at Closing (or thereafter upon surrender of Certificates): (i) Parent shall cause the remaining Cash Consideration to be wired to an account designated by the Sole Stockholder, less $822,975 which shall be placed in escrow to satisfy the obligations pursuant to Article XII hereof (the “Cash Escrow”), and (ii) Parent shall cause the Equity Consideration to be distributed to the Sole Stockholder in the amount set forth on Schedule 2.2, less that number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued as part of the Equity Consideration as shall be obtained by dividing $425,000 by the Closing Market Price which shall be placed in escrow to satisfy the obligations pursuant to Article XII hereof (the “Equity Escrow”). Until surrendered, each outstanding Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Common Stock, but shall, have no other rights. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights in respect of such shares and their rights shall be solely in respect of the amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock have been converted.

(b) If any cash is to be paid or any shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate(s) surrendered

-4 -

in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of such cash or the issuance of such shares that (i) the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be transferable, and shall be properly assigned, endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, (ii) such transfer shall otherwise be proper and (iii) the person requesting such transfer shall pay Parent, or its exchange agent, any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Company shall be liable to a holder of shares of Common Stock for cash paid to such holder pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement that are delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(c) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the cash or shares issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement. The Board of Directors of Parent may in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide to Parent an indemnity agreement against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.4 No Fractional Securities. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issuable by the Parent upon the conversion of shares of Common Stock in the Merger pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be entitled to receive instead an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Closing Market Price.

2.5 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.

2.6 No Further Ownership Rights in Common Stock. The amount of cash delivered and number of shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates for shares of Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.7 Escrow. As soon as practicable after the Closing and in any event within five (5) business days after the Closing, Parent will at its expense deposit in escrow on behalf of the Sole Stockholder the Cash Escrow and Equity Escrow (which shall reduce the amount of Cash Consideration and shares of Equity Consideration otherwise issuable to such Sole Stockholder) (collectively, the “Escrow Deposit”). The Escrow Deposit shall be held by and registered in the

-5 -

name of U.S. Bank National Association, as Escrow Agent, as security for the indemnification obligations under Article XII pursuant to the provisions of an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.

ARTICLE III

The Company and the Sole Stockholder jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Parent and Acquisition Corp. as set forth below, subject to the exceptions set forth in the disclosure schedules hereto (the “Company Disclosure Schedules”), the section numbers and letters of which correspond to the section and subsection numbers and letters of this Agreement.

3.1 Corporate Organization.

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Connecticut. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease the properties and assets it now owns, operates and leases and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 3.1(a) hereto, which are the only jurisdictions where such qualification is required by reason of the nature of the properties and assets currently owned, operated or leased by it or the business currently conducted by it, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company has previously delivered to the Parent complete and correct copies of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (certified by the secretary of state of the jurisdiction in which it was formed as of a recent date) and the By-Laws of the Company (certified by the Secretary of the Company as of a recent date). Neither the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation nor its By-Laws have been amended since the date of certification thereof, nor has any action been taken for the purpose of effecting any amendment of such instrument. The term “Company Material Adverse Effect” means, for purposes of this Agreement, any change, event or effect that is, or that is reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to the business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company.

3.2 Authorization. The Company has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and adopted by the Sole Stockholder and no other proceeding on the part of the Company is necessary to approve and authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or (subject to the filing of the Certificates of Merger pursuant to the DGCL and the CGS) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,

-6 -

reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in law or in equity.

3.3 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Subject to (a) the filing of the Certificates of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and with the Secretary of State of the State of Connecticut, respectively, and (b) compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not: (i) violate or conflict with any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, (ii) breach, violate or constitute an event of default (or an event which with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an event of default) under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration under, or require any consent or the giving of any notice under, any note, bond, indenture, mortgage, security agreement, lease, license, franchise, permit, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party, or by which the Company or any of its properties or assets may be bound, or result in the creation of any lien, claim or encumbrance or other right of any third party of any kind whatsoever upon the properties or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of any such instrument or obligation, (iii) violate or conflict with any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or other instrument of any federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental or regulatory body, agency, association, organization or authority applicable to the Company or by which its properties or assets may be bound, except for such violations and conflicts which would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) require, on the part of the Company, any filing or registration with, or permit, license, exemption, consent, authorization or approval of, or the giving of any notice to, any governmental or regulatory body, agency or authority, other than any filing, registration, permit, license, exemption, consent, authorization, approval or notice which if not obtained would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

3.4 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 20,000 shares of Common Stock of which 100 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding. The beneficial and record ownership of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is set forth on Schedule 3.4(a) attached hereto. All outstanding shares of Common Stock (i) are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (ii) were not issued in violation of any pre-emptive rights or federal or state securities laws and (iii) are not subject to preemptive rights created by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of Company or any agreement or document to which Company is a party or by which it is bound.

Except as set forth above, as of the date of this Agreement no shares of Common Stock, other equity securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests or other voting securities of the Company or any securities exchangeable or convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock, other equity securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests or other voting securities of the Company, were issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding.

The Company has never repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired or caused the repurchase, redemption or acquisition of any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company, and there are no amounts owed or which may be owed to any person by the Company as a result of any repurchase, redemption or acquisition of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company. There is no claim or basis for such a claim to any portion of the Merger Consideration except as provided in Section 2.2 or Schedule 2.2 hereto by any current or former stockholder, option holder or warrant holder of the Company, or any other person.

There are no registration rights, and, to the knowledge of the Company and the Sole Stockholder, there are no voting trusts, proxies or agreements or understandings with respect to any equity security of any class of securities of the Company.

(b) The Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any equity securities, or options, warrants or other rights to acquire equity securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, of any other corporation, or any partnership interest in any general or limited partnership or unincorporated joint venture.

All accounts receivable of the Company reflected on the Balance Sheet (i) arose from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, and (ii) except as set forth on Schedule 3.12(a)(ii) hereto, are owned by the Company free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance, or claims, and (iii) are accurately and fairly reflected on the Balance Sheet, or, with respect to accounts receivable of the Company created after June 30, 2004, are accurately and fairly reflected in the books and records of the Company. The reserves for bad debts reflected on the Balance Sheet were calculated in accordance with GAAP consistent with past practice and are adequate. The Company reasonably believes that all such accounts receivable are good and collectible at the aggregate recorded amounts thereof, net of any applicable reserves for bad debts reflected on the Balance Sheet, and since June 30, 2004, there have not been any write-offs as uncollectible of any accounts receivable of the Company.

The Company is not in default under any of such policies, and the Company has not failed to give any notice or to present any claim under any such policy in a due and timely fashion. The Company does not have knowledge of any facts which would likely result in an insurer reducing coverage or increasing premiums on existing policies and to the Company’s knowledge, all such insurance policies can be maintained in full force and effect without substantial increase in premium or reducing the coverage thereof following the Closing. There is no claim pending under any of such policies as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed by the underwriters of such policy.

(iv) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sole Stockholder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not breach, violate or constitute an event of default (or an event which with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an event of default) under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration under or require any consent or the giving of any notice under, any note, bond, indenture, mortgage, security agreement, lease, license, franchise, permit, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Sole Stockholder is a party, or by which the Sole Stockholder or the Common Stock held by the Sole Stockholder may be bound, or result in the creation of any lien, claim or encumbrance or other right of any third party of any kind whatsoever upon the properties or assets of the Sole Stockholder pursuant to the terms of any such instrument or obligation, which breach, violation or event of default would

-25 -

have a material adverse effect on the Sole Stockholder’s ability to perform the Sole Stockholder’s obligations hereunder, or (C) violate or conflict with any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or other instrument of any court or governmental or regulatory body, agency or authority applicable to the Sole Stockholder or by which such the Common Stock held by the Sole Stockholder may be bound.

4.2 Parent Common Stock.

The Sole Stockholder, acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Parent and Acquisition Corp. as follows:

(i) The Sole Stockholder understands that the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to the Sole Stockholder in the Merger will not have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities law by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the other representations and warranties made by the Sole Stockholder in this Agreement. The Sole Stockholder understands that the Parent is relying, in part, upon the Sole Stockholder’s representation and warranties contained in this Section 4.2 for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.

(ii) The Sole Stockholder has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters so that the Sole Stockholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to the extent that the Sole Stockholder has deemed it appropriate to do so, the Sole Stockholder has relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the tax, legal and financial merits and consequences of an investment in Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii) The Sole Stockholder has made, either alone or together with the Sole Stockholder’s advisors, such independent investigation of the Parent, its management and related matters as the Sole Stockholder deems to be, or such advisors have advised to be, necessary or advisable in connection with an investment in the Parent Common Stock through the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and the Sole Stockholder and advisors have received all information and data that the Sole Stockholder and such advisors believe to be necessary in order to reach an informed decision as to the advisability of an investment in the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) The Sole Stockholder has reviewed the Sole Stockholder’s financial condition and commitments, alone and together with the Sole Stockholder’s advisors, and, based on such review, the Sole Stockholder is satisfied that (A) the Sole Stockholder has adequate means of providing for the Sole Stockholder’s financial needs and possible contingencies and has assets or sources of income which, taken together, are more than sufficient so that he could bear the risk of loss of the Sole Stockholder’s entire investment in the Parent Common Stock, (B) the Sole Stockholder has no present or contemplated future need to dispose of all or any portion of the Parent Common Stock to satisfy any existing or contemplated

-26 -

undertaking, need or indebtedness, and (C) the Sole Stockholder is capable of bearing the economic risk of an investment in the Parent Common Stock for the indefinite future. The Sole Stockholder shall furnish any additional information about the Sole Stockholder reasonably requested by the Parent to assure the compliance of this transaction with applicable federal and state securities laws.

(v) The Sole Stockholder understands that the shares of the Parent Common Stock to be received by the Sole Stockholder in the transactions contemplated hereby will be “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated thereunder provide in substance that the Sole Stockholder may dispose of such shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration if available, including but not limited to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Sole Stockholder further understands that, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Section 10.6 hereof), the Parent has no obligation or intention to register the sale of any of the shares of the Parent Common stock to be received by the Sole Stockholder in the transactions contemplated hereby, or take any other action so as to permit sales pursuant to, the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Sole Stockholder understands that the Sole Stockholder may dispose of such shares only in transactions which are of a type exempt from registration under the Securities Act, including (without limitation) a “private placement,” in which event the transferee will acquire such shares as “restricted securities” and subject to the same limitations as in the hands of the Sole Stockholder. The Sole Stockholder further understands that applicable state securities laws may impose additional constraints upon the sale of securities. As a consequence, the Sole Stockholder understands that the Sole Stockholder may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Parent Common Stock to be received by the Sole Stockholder pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby for an indefinite period of time.

(vi) The Sole Stockholder is acquiring shares of the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby for investment only and not with a view to or intention of or in connection with any resale or distribution of such shares or any interest therein.

(vii) The certificate(s) evidencing the shares of the Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby shall bear the following legend:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.”

4.3 General Release. The Sole Stockholder hereby voluntarily releases and discharges the Surviving Corporation, its affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns, and each of them, and the current and former officers, directors, stockholders,

-27 -

employees, and agents of the foregoing (any and all of which are referred to as the “Releasees”), from all charges, complaints, claims, promises, agreements, causes of action, damages, and debts of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown (“Claims”), which the Sole Stockholder has, claims to have, ever had, or ever claimed to have had against the Surviving Corporation or any other Releasees, whether arising under federal or state law and whether as a stockholder or employee of the Company or in any other capacity, except for Claims arising under this Agreement and agreements to be delivered hereunder.

(a) Subject to Sections 12.3 and 12.4 hereof, the Sole Stockholder by adoption of this Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, agrees to indemnify and hold the Parent (including its representatives and affiliates) harmless from, and to reimburse the Parent for, any Losses (as that term is hereinafter defined) directly or indirectly arising out of, based upon or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company and the Sole Stockholder set forth in Article III of this Agreement or any Schedule or certificate delivered by the Company pursuant hereto; and (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of, or any failure to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or undertakings of the Company which are contained in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Losses” shall mean any and all losses, damages, deficiencies, liabilities, obligations, actions, claims, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, recoveries, fees, diminution in value, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all out-of-pocket expenses, reasonable investigation expenses and reasonable fees and disbursements of accountants and counsel) of any nature whatsoever; provided, however, that the magnitude of any such Loss shall take into account any Tax benefit that may be realized by the Parent or its affiliates in connection with any event or occurrence giving rise to such Loss.

(b) Subject to Sections 12.3 and 12.4 hereof, the Sole Stockholder by adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Parent harmless from, and to reimburse the Parent for, any Losses arising out of, based upon or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Sole

-44 -

Stockholder set forth in Article IV of this Agreement, or any Schedule or certificate delivered by the Sole Stockholder pursuant hereto or thereto; or (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of, or any failure to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or undertakings of the Sole Stockholder which are contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants set forth in Article VIII of this Agreement, or any Schedule or certificate delivered by the Sole Stockholder pursuant hereto or thereto.

12.2 Notification of Claims.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3 below, in the event of the occurrence of an event pursuant to which the Parent shall seek indemnity pursuant to Section 12.1, the Parent shall provide the Sole Stockholder with prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such event and shall otherwise promptly make available to the Sole Stockholder, all relevant information which is material to the claim and which is in the possession of the indemnified party. Parent’s failure to give a timely Claims Notice or to promptly furnish the Sole Stockholder, with any relevant data and documents in connection with any Third-Party Claim (as that term is hereinafter defined) shall not constitute a defense (in part or in whole) to any claim for indemnification by such party, except and only to the extent that such failure shall result in any prejudice to the Sole Stockholder.

(b) The Sole Stockholder shall have the right to elect to join in, through counsel of its choosing reasonably acceptable to Parent, the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claim of any third party (a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification will be sought by the Parent; provided; however, that Parent shall control such defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise. The expense of any such defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise, including Parent’s counsel and any counsel chosen by the Sole Stockholder shall be borne by the Sole Stockholder; provided, such expenses shall be paid from the Escrow Deposit for indemnification sought pursuant to Section 12.1. Parent shall have the right to settle any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that Parent may not effect the settlement, adjustment or compromise of any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Sole Stockholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the indemnification sought by the Parent involves a breach or alleged breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.11, the Parent and Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the liability of the Sole Stockholder on account thereof. Furthermore, Parent hereby agrees to extend to the Surviving Corporation or any successor thereto, any intellectual property risk management initiatives implemented by the Parent or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, to the extent such intellectual property risk management initiatives reasonably might mitigate shared intellectual property risks between the Parent or any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Surviving Corporation, or any successor thereto.

12.3 Duration. All representations and warranties of the Company and the Sole Stockholder set forth in this Agreement and any Schedules or certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and all covenants, agreements and undertakings of the Company and the Sole Stockholder contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement and any Schedules or certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and the rights of the parties to seek indemnification with

-45 -

respect thereto (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Indemnifiable Matters”), shall survive the Closing but, except in respect of any claims for indemnification as to which a Claim Notice shall have been duly given prior to the Escrow Release Date (as defined below) and also as provided in the immediately following sentence, all Indemnifiable Matters shall expire on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Indemnifiable Matters arising from breaches of the covenants contained in Article VIII shall survive the Closing Date until the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date; (b) Indemnifiable Matters (i) arising from breaches of the covenants contained in Section 7.7 (all such obligations in (a) and (b), collectively, the “Excluded Obligations”); and (ii) arising from breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.9 and Article IV, shall each survive the Closing Date for the applicable statute of limitations period ; and (c) Indemnifiable Matters arising from breaches of the representation and warranties set forth in Section 3.11 (the “Section 3.11 Indemnifiable Matters”) shall survive the Closing Date until the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for breaches of the representations and warranties relating to or arising from fraud shall be independent of, and shall not be limited by, the Agreement.

12.4 Escrow; Limitation of Liability. Pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, the Escrow Deposit shall be delivered by Parent to the Escrow Agent, to be held for a period ending on the Escrow Release Date, except the Escrow Deposit may be withheld after the Escrow Release Date for so long as is reasonably necessary to satisfy claims for indemnification which are the subject to a Claims Notice delivered prior to the Escrow Release Date. The Escrow Deposit shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with an Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. If the Closing occurs, Parent and Acquisition Corp. agree that the Parent’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article XII shall constitute Parent’s and Acquisition Corp.’s sole and exclusive remedy and recourse against the Sole Stockholder for Losses attributable to any Indemnifiable Matters. Except with respect to the Excluded Obligations and the Section 3.11 Indemnifiable Matters, the maximum aggregate liability of the Sole Stockholder shall be limited to the Escrow Deposit. The maximum aggregate liability of the Sole Stockholder for the Excluded Obligations shall be limited to the Cash Consideration to which the Sole Stockholder is entitled (less any amount previously recovered under this Article XII from the Escrow Deposit on account thereof). The maximum aggregate liability of the Sole Stockholder for the Section 3.11 Indemnifiable Matters shall be limited as follows (less any amount previously recovered under this Article XII from the Escrow Deposit on account thereof): (a) for Section 3.11 Indemnifiable Matters arising during the period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the maximum liability shall be limited to 80% of the Equity Consideration, (b) for Section 3.11 Indemnifiable Matters arising during the period beginning on the day after the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date and continuing until the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the maximum liability of the Sole Stockholder shall be limited to 70% of the Equity Consideration, (c) for Section 3.11 Indemnifiable Matters arising during the period beginning on the day after the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date and continuing until the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the maximum liability of the Sole Stockholder shall be limited to 40% of the Equity Consideration, and (iv) for Section 3.11 Indemnifiable Matters arising during the period beginning on the day after the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing

-46 -

Date and continuing until the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the maximum liability of the Sole Stockholder shall be limited to 20% of the Equity Consideration. Such Section 3.11 Indemnifiable Matters limitations of liabilities shall be cumulative and not additive. To the extent that all or any portion of the Equity Consideration is sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred by the Sole Stockholder or any affiliate in an arms-length transaction, then with respect to and in lieu of the shares of Parent Common Stock so sold, Parent shall be entitled to recover against any and all cash or other proceeds so obtained, net of any taxes incurred as a result of such sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Sole Stockholder shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to this Article XII until the aggregate Losses are in excess of $25,000, at which point the Sole Stockholder shall be liable for the full amount of all Losses including such amount. Any Losses payable pursuant to this Section 12.4 from the Escrow Deposit shall be paid from the Cash Escrow and the Equity Escrow in the same proportion as such Cash Escrow and Equity Escrow bears to the total Escrow Deposit, except as otherwise provided herein.
