AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of May 22, 2017 by and among EnteroMedics Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), Acorn Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), Acorn Subsidiary Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Sub LLC"), BarioSurg, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx as stockholder representative (the "Stockholder Representative"). All capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A.

A. The boards of directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, and the sole member of Sub LLC, have determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of each corporation and their respective stockholders and members that Parent acquire the Company through the statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, pursuant to which the Company would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"); and (ii) following the effectiveness of the Merger and as part of an integrated plan with the Merger, the statutory merger of the Company with and into Sub LLC ("Secondary Merger" and, collectively with the Merger, the "Mergers"), with Sub LLC surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, and in furtherance thereof, have approved this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements (the "Transactions").

B. The parties to this Agreement intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger and the Secondary Merger will (i) constitute integrated steps in a single "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §§1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties adopt by executing this Agreement, and (ii) qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code in accordance with Revenue Ruling 2001-46, 2001-42 I.R.B. 321.

C. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a material inducement to Parent to enter into this Agreement: Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "Founder"), is entering into the following agreements with Parent: (i) an employment agreement (the "Founder Employment Agreement"), (ii) the Voting Proxy, and (iii) the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, all of which will be effective at and as of the Effective Time.

D. Parent, Merger Sub, Sub LLC and the Company each desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, as more fully set forth herein, in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other premises set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined below), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Certificate of Merger") and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the "Surviving Corporation." Immediately following the Merger, the Surviving

Corporation shall be merged with and into the Sub LLC, which shall be the surviving entity (the "Surviving LLC") in the Secondary Merger, and the separate existence of the Surviving Corporation shall thereupon cease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following the Secondary Merger, all property, rights, powers, privileges and franchises of the Company, Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation shall vest in the Surviving LLC, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company, Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving LLC. Immediately following the Secondary Merger, the Surviving LLC shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and shall at all times be a disregarded entity for United States federal and state income tax purposes.

1.2 Closing and Effective Times.

(a) Closing. Unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 1.2(b), the Merger shall be consummated at a closing (the "Closing") on the date hereof at the offices of Fox Rothschild LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, unless another time or place is mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company. The date upon which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the "Closing Date."

(b) Termination Prior to Closing. This Agreement may be terminated by Parent, and the Merger abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing if the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained by the Company and delivered to Parent within two (2) hours after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, Merger Sub, Sub LLC, the Company and the Stockholder Representative.

(c) Effective Time. On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. The time of the filing and acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such other later time as may be agreed in writing by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, shall be referred to herein as the "Effective Time." Immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Secondary Merger to occur.

1.3 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and Surviving Entity.

(a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such certificate of incorporation.

(b) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

1.4 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation and Surviving Entity.

(a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.

(b) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation

immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 General Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effects of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Merger Consideration; Effect of Merger on Capital Stock of Constituent Corporations.

(a) Merger Consideration. The aggregate merger consideration (the "Merger Consideration") to be paid by Parent for all of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock and rights to acquire Company Capital Stock at the Closing shall be (i) 1,380,684 shares of Parent Common Stock ("Parent Common Stock Payment Shares"), which shares represent a number of shares equal to 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock as of the date hereof, (ii) 1,000,181 shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock, ("Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares" and together with the Parent Common Stock, the "Parent Payment Shares")), which Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares will be convertible into 5,000,905 shares of Parent Common Stock, subject to and contingent upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Parent Common Stock present or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders of Parent to approve, for purposes of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules (the "Parent Stockholder Approval"), the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Stockholders and Optionholders upon conversion of the Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, and (iii) $2,000,000 in cash (the "Cash Consideration"), less the amount of any third party expenses paid by Parent on behalf the Company pursuant to Section 4.2(a). A portion of the Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares will be subject to the escrow provisions set forth in Section 1.6(b).

(b) Escrow Shares. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement 100,018 of the Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares (the "Escrow Shares"). The Escrow Shares shall be used to satisfy any claims of the Parent Indemnified Parties for indemnification pursuant to Article V, if any, based on a value per share of Parent Common Stock equal to the five trading day average per share closing price of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to receipt by Stockholder Representative of the applicable Indemnification Claim Notice sent by Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article V (the "Escrow Per Share Value"); provided however, that in no event will the Escrow Per Share Value be less than $4.78. Because each share of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into five (5) shares of Parent Common Stock, prior to such conversion each Escrow Share will have a value equal to five (5) times the Escrow Per Share Value. For example, if a Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to receive an amount equal to $1,000,000 as an indemnification pursuant to Article V and the Escrow Shares have not then converted into shares of Parent Common Stock, such Parent Indemnified Party shall receive 40,000 shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock (i.e., $1,000,000 divided by $25.00, assuming the five trading day average per share closing price of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to receipt by Stockholder Representative of the Indemnification Claim Notice for such claim is $5.00) from the Escrow Shares. However, in that example scenario, if the Escrow Shares had converted into shares of Parent Common Stock, then such Parent Indemnified Party shall receive 200,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (i.e., $1,000,000 divided by $5.00, assuming the five trading day average per share closing price of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to receipt by Stockholder Representative of the Indemnification Claim Notice for such claim is $5.00) from the Escrow Shares. Any Escrow Shares not so used to satisfy any claims of the Parent Indemnified Parties for indemnification pursuant to Article V on or before the

applicable Expiration Date (other than such Escrow Shares with respect to which Parent notifies the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article V on or before the applicable Expiration Date, which Escrow Shares shall remain in the possession of the Escrow Agent until such claim is fully resolved or judicially determined) shall be distributed to the Stockholders and Optionholders based on their respective Pro Rata Portion. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares and release the Escrow Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Spreadsheet. The Company has delivered to Parent a spreadsheet setting forth the following information, and accompanied by documentation reasonably satisfactory to Parent in support of the calculation of the information set forth therein, which information is true, correct and complete as of date hereof and as of the Effective Time (the "Spreadsheet"):

(i) calculation of the applicable Per Share Consideration for each class or series of Company Capital Stock; and

(ii) with respect to each Stockholder: (i) the name and address of such Stockholder, and, if available, the e-mail address of such holder, (ii) the number, class and series of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Stockholder and the respective certificate numbers and date of acquisition of such shares; (iii) the aggregate number of Parent Common Stock Payment Shares and Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares to be paid to such Stockholder, (iv) the aggregate Cash Consideration to be paid to such Stockholder, (v) whether such Stockholder is a current or former employee of the Company, (vi) whether any Taxes are to be withheld in accordance with Section 1.8 from the consideration that such Stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(e)(i), (vii) the Pro Rata Portion of such Stockholder, and (viii) the number of Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares to be deposited with the Escrow Agent as Escrow Shares on behalf of such Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and

(iii) with respect to each Company Option: (i) the name and address of the holder thereof, and, if available, the e-mail address of such holder, (ii) the aggregate number of Parent Common Stock Payment Shares and Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares to be paid to such holder, (iii) whether such holder is an employee, consultant, director or officer of the Company, (iv) the grant date and expiration date thereof, (v) the exercise price per share and the number, class and series of shares of Company Capital Stock underlying such Company Option immediately prior to the Closing, (vi) whether any Taxes are to be withheld in accordance with Section 1.8 from the consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(f), (vii) the Pro Rata Portion of such holder, and (viii) the number of Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares to be deposited with the Escrow Agent as Escrow Shares on behalf of such holder pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(d) Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the respective stockholders thereof, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Company Common Stock (and the shares of the Company into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Company's capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub capital stock will evidence ownership of such shares of Company Common Stock.

(e) Company Capital Stock.

(i) Generally. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the respective stockholders thereof, each share of Company Capital Stock (excluding (A) Cancelled Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.6(e)(ii), and (B) Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.6(e)(iii)) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon the terms set forth in this Section 1.6(e)(i) and throughout this Agreement and surrender of the certificate representing such shares of Company Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.7, the Per Share Consideration.

(ii) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the respective stockholders thereof, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and each share of Company Capital Stock held by Parent or its controlled Affiliates (the "Cancelled Shares") shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in respect thereof.

(iii) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and with respect to which the holder thereof has properly demanded appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law or Chapter 13 of the California corporations code (the "California Code"), and who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder's appraisal rights under Delaware Law or the California Code (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.6(e)(i), but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by applicable law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.6(e)(iii), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder's appraisal rights under Delaware Law or the California Code, as applicable, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares, upon the terms set forth in this Section 1.6(e)(iii) and throughout this Agreement (including the escrow holdback and indemnification provisions of this Agreement), the consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.6(e)(i), without interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law or the California Code and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any communication to be made by the Company to any Stockholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any Stockholder prior to the Company receiving Parent's written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(f) Company Options. Each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and exercised and, at the Effective Time, shall be canceled and the holder thereof shall then become entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, the Per Option Consideration. Promptly following the Closing, Parent shall pay (or cause to be paid) the Per Option Consideration,

less applicable withholdings, in respect of such Company Options; provided, however, that 10% of the Parent Preferred Stock Payment Shares that otherwise would be payable at the Closing to each holder of a Company Option shall be withheld at the Closing and included in the Escrow Shares in accordance with Section 1.6(b), which shares will be distributed to the former holders of such Company Options in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(g) Reserve Account. At the Closing, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative the sum of $100,000 (the "Reserve Amount") for deposit into a bank account (the "Reserve Account") controlled by the Stockholder Representative to be used to cover the costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the Stockholder Representative in defending and/or resolving any indemnification claims brought by the Parent Indemnified Parties under Article V, or any other costs or expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in the performance of its obligations as Stockholder Representative. The Reserve Amount will be deemed a reduction from the Cash Consideration otherwise payable to the Stockholders at Closing. Amounts in the Reserve Account shall be disbursed by the Stockholder Representative as provided in this Agreement. The Stockholder Representative shall distribute all amounts remaining in the Reserve Account to the Stockholders based on each Stockholder's Pro Rata Portion, upon the later of (i) nine (9) months following the Closing Date or (ii) the date of resolution of all indemnification claims against the Company still pending as of nine (9) months following the Closing Date.

1.7 Payment of Merger Consideration for Company Capital Stock.

(a) Exchange Agent. Xxxxx Fargo Shareowner Services (or its designee), or another Person selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company, shall serve as the exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the Merger.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall mail a letter of transmittal or option cancellation agreement in customary form and substance, to be approved by Stockholder Representative, to each Stockholder and Optionholder, as applicable, at the address set forth opposite each such Stockholder's or Optionholder's name on the Spreadsheet. After delivery to the Exchange Agent of a letter of transmittal or option cancellation agreement and any other documents (including applicable tax forms) that Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith (the "Exchange Documents"), duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and a certificate representing shares of Company Capital Stock (the "Company Stock Certificates"), if applicable, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent or its transfer agent to issue to the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Optionholder that portion of the Merger Consideration, including the applicable number of Parent Payment Shares (rounded down to the nearest share) issuable in respect thereto and applicable Cash Consideration (as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.6(g) and Section 4.2) payable in respect thereto pursuant to Section 1.6(e)(i) and Section 1.6(f) and as set forth in the Spreadsheet , and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. No portion of the Merger Consideration will be issued to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby until the holder of record of such Company Stock Certificate shall surrender such Company Stock Certificate and validly executed Exchange Documents pursuant hereto. No portion of the Merger Consideration will be issued to an Optionholder who has not returned an option cancellation agreement until such Optionholder has returned an executed copy of the option cancellation agreement and validly executed Exchange Documents.

(c) In lieu of any fractional share of a Parent Payment Share that a Stockholder or Optionholder would have received had the number of Parent Payment Shares not been rounded

down, each such Stockholder or Optionholder shall be paid (and after taking into account and aggregating shares of Company Capital Stock represented by all Company Stock Certificates surrendered by such Stockholder and all Company Options held by such Optionholder) cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the fractional share interest to which such Stockholder or Optionholder (after taking into account and aggregating all shares of Company Capital Stock represented by all Company Stock Certificates surrendered by such Stockholder and all Company Options held by such Optionholder) would otherwise be entitled by (y) $4.78.

(d) The Parent Payment Shares issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by reason of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Until the resale by the Stockholders or Optionholders of their Parent Payment Shares has become registered under the Securities Act, or otherwise transferable pursuant to an exemption from such registration otherwise required thereunder, the Parent Payment Shares issued to the Stockholders and Optionholders hereunder shall be characterized as "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and, if certificated, shall bear the following legend:

"THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY, AND THE RESALE OF SUCH SHARES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT."

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent or Parent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, payable in respect thereto pursuant to Section 1.6(e) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion, or as required by the Exchange Agent, and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Stockholder who is the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to provide an indemnification agreement in a form and substance acceptable to Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company or the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, or any party hereto shall be liable to a Stockholder or Optionholder for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.8 Withholding Taxes. The Company, the Exchange Agent, Parent, and the Surviving Corporation, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise

deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, local or foreign tax law or under any Legal Requirements or applicable Orders. Parent shall give Stockholder Representative reasonable prior notice of any amount to be withheld and Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to review, comment upon, and request reasonable changes to such withholding and Parent shall promptly make any such changes unless Parent reasonably objects to such changes. To the extent such amounts are so 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.

1.9 Taking of Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, or to vest Parent with full right, title and possession to all of the Company Capital Stock, then each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the officers and directors of each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

1.10 Tax Treatment. The Merger and Secondary Merger are intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code pursuant to the principles set forth in Revenue Ruling 2001-46, and this Agreement is intended to constitute a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3. No party hereto shall take any action or position before a Governmental Entity which is inconsistent with the intent to treat the Merger and Secondary Merger as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code unless otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Further, each party hereto shall cause all Tax Returns relating to the Mergers to be filed on the basis of treating the Merger and Secondary Merger as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, unless otherwise required pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Neither Parent nor the Company has Knowledge of any facts or circumstances which would cause the Merger and Secondary Merger to fail to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code (e.g., as a result of a failure to meet the continuity of business enterprise requirement of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d), or otherwise).

As of the date hereof, the Company Capital Stock is held by the Persons and in the amounts set forth in Section 2.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule which further sets forth for each such Person the number of shares held, class and/or series of such shares, the number of the applicable stock certificates representing such shares and the domicile addresses of record of such Persons.

The treatment of Company Options as provided for in this Agreement are permitted by the terms of the Plan and the applicable agreements for each Company Option, without the consent or approval of the holders of such securities, the Stockholders or otherwise.

There are no actions, suits, investigations, claims, or proceedings, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened or otherwise pending, or in progress relating in any way to the Company IP. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) all documents and instruments necessary to perfect the rights of the Company in the Company Registered IP have been validly executed, delivered, recorded and filed in a timely manner with the applicable Governmental Entity;

(ii) each Person who is or was an employee or independent contractor of the Company and who is or was involved in the creation or development of any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights for the Company has signed an agreement to assign such Intellectual Property Rights to the Company, and containing a waiver of moral rights to the extent not prohibited under applicable Legal Requirements, and containing confidentiality provisions protecting the Company IP, with each such agreement substantially in the Company's form of proprietary information and inventions assignment agreement for employees, consultants and independent contractors (the "Proprietary Information Agreement");

(iii) no Employee or former employer of any Employee has any claim, right or interest to or in any Company IP;

(v) no funding, facilities or personnel of any Governmental Entity, university, or research facility were used to develop or create any Company IP purportedly owned by the Company;

(vi) the Company has taken all reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information held by the Company, or purported to be held by the Company as Know-How, including as a trade secret, or any confidential information provided to the Company under an obligation of confidentiality;

(ix) the Company is not currently and has never been a member or promoter of, or a contributor to, any industry standards body or similar organization that could require or obligate the Company to grant or offer to any other Person any license or right to any Company IP;

(x) no third party that has licensed Intellectual Property Rights that are included in or used for the provision of Company Products or provided any Intellectual Property that is included in or used for the provision of Company Products, has retained sole ownership of or has retained exclusive license to rights under any Intellectual Property Rights in any improvements or derivative works made solely or jointly by the Company under such license;

(e) Valid and Enforceable.

(i) Each item of Company Registered IP is and at all times has been in compliance with all Legal Requirements in all material respects, and all filings, payments and other actions required to be made or taken to maintain such item of Company Registered IP in full force and effect have been made by the applicable deadline. Except as set forth in Section 2.13(e)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no basis for a claim that any Company Registered IP is invalid or unenforceable. The Company has no Knowledge of and has not received any notice or information of any kind from any source suggesting that the Company IP may be invalid, unpatentable (or otherwise not registrable), or unenforceable other than official notices from national or regional patent or trademark offices in the ordinary course of patent or trademark prosecution. None of the Company or its respective agents or representatives have engaged in any conduct, or omitted to perform any necessary act, the result of which would invalidate any of the Company IP or hinder its enforcement, including, without limitation, misrepresenting the Patents within the Company IP to a standard-setting organization.

(ii) Patents. (A) There are no actions, fees or taxes, including the payment of any registration, maintenance or renewal fees or the filing of any documents, applications or

certificates for the purposes of perfecting, maintaining or renewing any such Patents due within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date that have not already been paid or responded to by the Company. There is no pending litigation, interference, opposition, reexamination or other proceeding involving such Patents and to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, except as set forth in Section 2.13(e)(ii)(B) of the Disclosure Schedule. (B) If any of the Patents listed in Section 2.13(b) of the Disclosure Schedule are terminally disclaimed to another Patent, all Patents subject to such terminal disclaimer are within the Company Registered IP. (C) To the extent "small entity" fees were paid to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for any Patent within the Company Registered IP, such reduced fees were then appropriate because the payor qualified to pay "small entity" fees at the time of such payment and specifically had not licensed rights in any of the Patents to an entity that was not a "small entity." (D) To the extent "small entity" fees were paid to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for any Patent within the Company IP where the payor did not qualify to pay "small entity" fees, such "small entity" fees were paid in good faith and such error was later corrected pursuant to 37 CFR 1.28(c).

(C) To the Knowledge of the Company, all services, products and materials bearing or identified by a Trademark within the Company Registered IP bear the proper registration notice where permitted or required by law. (D) To the Knowledge of the Company, no Trademark (whether registered or unregistered) or otherwise protected designation (e.g. worktitle) owned, used, or applied for by the Company conflicts or interferes with any Trademark (whether registered or unregistered) owned, used or applied for by any other Person.

(A) All of the Copyrights that are Company Registered IP or that are otherwise material to the Company's business, if any, are not subject to any maintenance fees or taxes or actions falling due within ninety (90) days after the date of Closing that have not already been paid or responded to by the Company. (B) No Copyright owned by the Company is, to the Knowledge of the Company, infringed or has been challenged. (C) All material works encompassed by the Copyrights have been marked with the proper copyright notice.

(v) Trade Secrets. (A) With respect to each Trade Secret within the Company IP, the documentation maintained by the Company relating to such Trade Secret is reasonably current, materially accurate, and reasonably sufficient in detail and content to identify and explain it and to allow its full and proper use without reliance on the knowledge or memory of any particular individual. (B) The Company has taken commercially reasonable precautions to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of its Trade Secrets and the Company has not disclosed any Trade Secrets to any entity other than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement or other agreement that prevents the use and disclosure of the Trade Secret other than for the benefit of the Company. (C) The Company has good title and an absolute right to use its Trade Secrets subject to Permitted Encumbrances. To the Knowledge of the Company, the Trade Secrets are not part of the public knowledge or literature and have not been used, divulged, or appropriated either for the benefit of any Person (other than the Company) or to the detriment of the business of the Company. No Trade Secret is, to the Knowledge of the

Company, subject to any adverse claim or has been challenged. The Company uses all reasonable measures to maintain its proprietary algorithms as Trade Secrets.

(f) Effects of the Merger. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other agreements referred to in this Agreement nor the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions will, with or without notice or the lapse of time, result in or give any other Person the right or option to cause or declare: (i) a loss of, or Lien on, any Company IP or rights thereto; (ii) a breach of any Contract listed or required to be listed in Sections 2.13(c) of the Disclosure Schedule; (iii) the release, disclosure or delivery of any Company IP by or to any escrow agent or other Person; (iv) the grant, assignment or transfer to any other Person of any license or other right or interest under, to or in any of the Company IP or any Intellectual Property Rights owned by, or licensed to, Parent or any of its Affiliates; or (v) payment of any royalties or other license fees with respect to Intellectual Property Rights of any third party in excess of those payable by the Company in the absence of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(g) No Third Party Infringement of Company IP. To the Knowledge of the Company, no Person has infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated, and no Person is currently infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating, any Company IP.

The Company has not put a third party on notice of actual or potential infringement of any of the Company IP. The Company has not invited any third party to enter into a license under any of the Company IP. The Company has not initiated any enforcement action with respect to any of the Company IP.

The Company has valid written licenses in respect of all Licensed IP of sufficient scope to permit the Company to conduct its businesses as currently conducted without infringing or violating the rights of third parties, and all such licenses will survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect thereafter, so as to preserve all rights of, and benefits to, the Company, and Parent, under such licenses from and after the Closing. To the Knowledge of the Company, no claim or proceeding relating to the ownership of Licensed IP is pending or has been threatened, except for any such claim or proceeding that, if adversely determined, would not adversely affect (A) the use or exploitation of such Licensed IP or (B) the distribution, hosting, provision, delivery or sale of any Company Product.

(i) No Infringement of Third Party IP Rights. To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company is not infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating, and has never infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated, any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) no infringement, misappropriation or similar claim or legal proceeding is pending or to the Knowledge of the Company, has been threatened against the Company or, to the Knowledge of the Company, against any other Person who may be entitled to be indemnified, defended, held harmless or reimbursed by the Company with respect to such claim or legal proceeding except as set forth on Section 2.13(i) of the Disclosure Schedule; (ii) the Company has not received any notice or other written communication (in writing or otherwise) (A) relating to any actual, alleged or suspected infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Right of another Person, (B) inviting the Company to license any Intellectual Property Rights of another Person, or (C) claiming that the Company Product or the operation of the business of the Company constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under any Legal Requirements; and (iii) the Company is not bound by any Contract to indemnify, defend, hold harmless or reimburse any other Person with respect to any infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Right.

None of the Company IP Contracts requires the Company to return or refund any amounts paid to it, or grant any credit to any third party, or pay any liquidated damages or penalties in the event of any breach of any warranty or any failure of the Company to perform under such Company IP Contract.

excluding incidental, indirect, special exemplary or punitive damages, except for any such Losses as may be payable to a third party in respect of a Third Party Claim or with respect to a claim of fraud to the extent actually awarded to a Governmental Entity or other third party (hereinafter individually a "Loss" and collectively "Losses") paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Parent Indemnified Parties, or any of them (including the Surviving Corporation) (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claims), directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, or relating to any of the following:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in, as of the date hereof or as of the Effective Time, a representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement, without giving effect to any qualifications based on the word "material" or similar phrases (including "Company Material Adverse Effect") limiting the scope of such representation or warranty;

(ii) third party Actions against Parent or any Subsidiary (including the Company) following the Closing, including the costs of defending against and settling any such third party claims, if the facts and circumstances alleged in third party Action would give the Indemnified Parties a right to indemnification under Section 5.2(a)(i) if such facts and circumstances were factually accurate;

(iii) any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement;

(iv) any payment in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement, and any other Losses paid, incurred, suffered or sustained in respect of any Dissenting Shares, including all attorneys' and consultants' fees, costs and expenses and including any such fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any action or proceeding in respect of Dissenting Shares;

(v) any Pre-Closing Taxes of the Company; and

(b) The Stockholders and Optionholders shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Surviving Corporation or Parent with respect to any Loss claimed by a Parent Indemnified Party.

(c) Any payments made to a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article V will be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

5.3 Indemnification of Stockholders.

(a) From and after and by virtue of the Merger, subject to the terms of this Article V, Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder and Optionholder and such Stockholder's and Optionholder's respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (each, a "Stockholder Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Stockholder Indemnified Parties"), from and against all Losses paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Stockholder Indemnified

Parties, or any of them (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claims), directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, or relating to any of the following:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in, as of the date hereof or as of the Effective Time, a representation or warranty of Parent, Merger Sub or Sub LLC set forth in this Agreement, without giving effect to any qualifications based on the word "material" or similar phrases limiting the scope of such representation or warranty; and

(ii) any failure by Parent, Merger Sub or Sub LLC to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

5.4 Limitations.

(a) Except in the case of fraud, the Parent Indemnified Parties, as a group, may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 5.2(a)(i) and Section 5.2 (a)(ii) unless and until the Parent Indemnified Parties, as a group, shall have paid, incurred, suffered or sustained at least $500,000 in Losses in the aggregate (the "Threshold Amount"), in which case the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all such Losses, including such amounts as comprised any portion of such Threshold Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Threshold Amount shall not apply to indemnification claims under clauses (iii)—(vi) of Section 5.2(a), inclusive.

(b) Except in the case of fraud, the Parent Indemnified Parties' sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification claims under Section 5.2(a) shall be recourse against the Escrow Shares, as set forth in Section 5.5 below.

(c) In the case of any indemnification claim under Sections 5.2(a) that is not limited to the recovery of funds from the Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 5.5, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to bring indemnification claims against any or all of the Stockholders and Optionholders for the portion of any Loss for which indemnification is not satisfied by the Escrow Shares (an "Excess Loss"), and each Stockholder and Optionholder shall be liable for their Pro Rata Portion of the Excess Losses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, paying to Parent an amount in cash equal to such Stockholder's or Optionholder's Pro Rata Portion of the Excess Loss), in respect of such indemnification claim; provided, however, that that the foregoing shall not limit the liability of a Stockholder or Optionholder who has committed fraud with respect to such fraud.

(d) Except in the case of fraud, the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, as a group, may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 5.3 unless and until the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, as a group, shall have paid, incurred, suffered or sustained Losses in the aggregate that exceed the Threshold Amount, in which case the Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all such Losses, including such amounts as comprised any portion of such Threshold Amount.

(e) Except for a claim of fraud, no Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder.

(f) No Stockholder or Optionholder shall have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Surviving Corporation or Parent with respect to any Loss claimed by Parent Indemnified Party.

5.5 Recovery from Escrow Shares. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.4(c), all claims for indemnification by Parent Indemnified Parties under Section 5.2 shall be satisfied solely and exclusively out of the Escrow Shares by transferring from the Escrow Agent to Parent either (i) shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock based on the Escrow Per Share Value or (ii) if Parent Preferred Stock

Payment Shares shall have been converted into Parent Common Stock, shares of Parent Common Stock based on the Escrow Per Share Value. Claims for indemnification by Parent Indemnified Parties shall be made and resolved as provided in this Agreement and in the Escrow Agreement. On the date that is nine (9) months following the Closing Date (the "Escrow Expiration Date"), the Stockholders and Optionholders shall be entitled to receive all shares, if any, of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Escrow Agent or, if the Parent Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been converted into Parent Common Stock, all shares of Parent Common Stock held by the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall retain, and not release, a sufficient number of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, necessary to satisfy any unresolved claims for indemnification made by Parent Indemnified Parties prior to the Escrow Expiration Date using the values per share of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock (the "Expiration Date Distribution Amount"). Each Stockholder and Optionholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of the Expiration Date Distribution Amount. Once all claims for indemnification made by Parent Indemnified Parties shall have been resolved and the appropriate amount of Escrow Shares shall have been paid to Parent, the Escrow Agent shall release all remaining shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, to the Stockholders and Optionholders (the "Final Distribution Amount"). Each Stockholder and Optionholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of the Final Distribution Amount.

5.6 Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Article V, if an Indemnified Party wishes to make an indemnification claim under this Article V, such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (an "Indemnification Claim Notice") to the Indemnifying Party (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain Losses, and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses, the date each such item was paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and, if applicable, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related. Indemnified Party may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any new information discovered with respect to the claim set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within the 30-day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (an "Indemnification Claim Objection Notice"), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 5.4(b) within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of an indemnification claim to be recovered from the Escrow Shares, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions of the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after delivery of an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice, either Parent or the

Stockholder Representative may commence litigation in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.12 and Section 6.13.

5.7 Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event Parent becomes aware of a third party claim (a "Third Party Claim") which Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand for indemnification pursuant to this Article V, Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative of such claim, and the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to defend against the Third Party Claim provided that (i) Stockholder Representative notifies Parent in writing within 15 days after Parent has given notice of the Third Party Claim that Indemnifying Parties will indemnify Parent Indemnified Parties from and against the entirety of any Losses the Parent Indemnified Parties may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, and (iii) the Stockholder Representative conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

(b) So long as the Stockholder Representative is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 5.7(a), the Stockholder Representative will (A) keep Parent apprised of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third Party Claim and permit Parent Indemnified Parties to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Parties will not be responsible for any attorney's fees or other expenses incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties regarding the Third Party Claim, and (C) the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to settle such Third Party Claim provided the settlement involves only money damages and does not include an injunction or other equitable relief.

(c) If Parent conducts the defense of any such claim, whether by reason that the Stockholder Representative chooses not to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim or by reason that the Stockholder Representative fails to qualify to conduct such defense in accordance with Section 5.7, Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, however, that, except with the consent of the Stockholder Representative, no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Losses Parent is entitled to recover pursuant to the indemnification provisions of Article V relating to such matter. In the event that the Stockholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have any power or authority to object under any provision of this Article V to the amount of any claim by Parent pursuant to Section 5.7 with respect to such settlement.

5.8 Sole Remedy.

(a) The indemnification rights set forth in this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Effective Time for any claims for monetary damages arising under this Agreement, including claims of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) this Section 5.8 shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party (and this Article V shall not be the sole and exclusive remedy in respect of such Indemnifying Party) in connection with claims based on fraud committed by such Indemnifying Party regardless of the capacity in which such Indemnifying Party committed such fraud.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under any Related Agreement against the parties thereto.

5.9 Stockholder Representative.

(a) By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Stockholders, each Stockholder and Optionholder shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Stockholder Representative for and on behalf of the Stockholder or Optionholder to give and receive notices and communications in respect of indemnification claims under this Agreement to be recovered against the Escrow Shares, to authorize payment to any Parent Indemnified Party from the Escrow Shares in satisfaction of any indemnification claims hereunder by any Parent Indemnified Party, to vote the Escrow Shares (after conversion of the Escrow Shares into Parent Common Stock) until such shares are released to the Stockholders and Optionholders (and the Escrow Shares converted into Parent Common Stock will be deemed to be Subject Shares (as defined in the Voting Proxy) that will be subject to, and voted in in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Voting Proxy), to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to any such indemnification claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any such indemnification claim by any Parent Indemnified Party hereunder against any Stockholder or Optionholder or by any such Stockholder or Optionholder against any Parent Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Parent Indemnified Party and any such Stockholder or Optionholder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Stockholders and Optionholders from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a two-thirds interest of the Escrow Shares agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a resignation of the Stockholder Representative or other vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative, such vacancy may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Shares. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative, and the Stockholder Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Indemnifying Parties.

(b) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Stockholders shall indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative's duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholder Representative and any amounts required to be paid by the Stockholder Representative to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement ("Stockholder Representative Expenses"). A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, shall constitute a decision of the Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Indemnifying Parties; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Indemnifying Parties. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.

(c) The Escrow Shares shall be held and disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto (the "Escrow Agreement"), and shall be entered into at the Effective Time, by and among Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Shares shall be deemed deducted on a pro rata basis from the consideration each of the Stockholders and Optionholders would otherwise have been entitled to receive as part of the consideration for their shares of Company Capital Stock at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.6(e)(i) and Section 1.6(f), and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Shares shall be held in trust and shall not be subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party. Approval of this Agreement and the Merger by the Stockholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including without limitation the placement of the Escrow Shares in escrow, and the approval of the appointment of the Stockholder Representative.

6.10 Specific Performance and Other Remedies.

(a) The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other party or parties hereto, Parent, any Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative of any covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth in this Agreement, (i) each party shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it), to a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other agreement and an injunction preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach, and (ii) no party hereto shall be required to provide or post any bond or other security or collateral in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or legal proceeding.

(b) Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred herein upon a party hereto shall be deemed to be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or in equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
