(a) At the Effective Time of Merger I, the Articles of Incorporation of Surviving Corporation I shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be identical to the Articles of Incorporation of Merger Sub I, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, until thereafter amended in accordance with the California Law and as provided in such Articles of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time of Merger I, Article I of the Articles of Incorporation of Surviving Corporation I shall be amended to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Protocom Corporation.”

(b) At the Effective Time of Merger I, the Bylaws of Surviving Corporation I shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub I, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and as provided in such Bylaws.

(c) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time of Merger II shall be in a form approved by Acquiror. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated consistently with Section 2.4(a) of this Agreement, as applicable.

(d) The Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated consistently with Section 2.4(b) of this Agreement, as applicable.

2.5 Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time of Merger I, the directors and officers of Merger Sub I immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation I, to serve until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. At the Effective Time of Merger II, the directors and officers of Surviving Corporation I immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger II shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, to serve until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

2.6 Effect on Capital Stock in Merger I. At the Effective Time of Merger I, by virtue of Merger I and without any action on the part of Merger Sub I, Target or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) The per share price shall equal the amount obtained by dividing (A) $47,000,000, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.6(b) and to Section 7.2.(r) below (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”), by (B) the sum of (1) the total number of shares of Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, including shares of Target Common Stock issuable, immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, upon conversion of all issued and outstanding Target Preferred Stock and all Target Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all issued and outstanding Target Warrants convertible into Target Preferred Stock and (2) the total number of shares of Target Common Stock issuable, immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, upon the exercise or conversion of all issued and outstanding vested and exercisable Target Options into Target Common Stock (the “Per Share Purchase Price”).

(i) Each share of Target Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.6(g) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted and exchanged into Target Common Stock, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, and thus the right to receive an amount described below in Section 2.6(a)(ii).

(ii) Each share of Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I (excluding shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.6(f) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted and exchanged into the right to receive an amount equal to the Per Share Purchase Price, which shall be payable in an amount equal to the Per Share Purchase Price, forty percent (40%) of which shall be payable in cash (the “Cash Consideration” ) and sixty percent (60%) of which (the “Equity Percentage”) shall be payable with a fraction (the “Equity Exchange Ratio”) of a share of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common stock, $0.001 par value, of Acquiror (“Acquiror Common Stock”) which equals the amount obtained by (A) dividing the Per Share Purchase Price by the average of the closing prices of a share of Acquiror Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day prior the execution of this Agreement (the “Average Closing Price”) and (B) multiplying the quotient of (A) by the Equity Percentage (the “Exchange Ratio”) (such equity consideration, the “Equity Consideration”).

(b) To the extent Target’s Transactions Expenses as calculated as of immediately prior to the Closing exceeds $100,000 (the “Transaction Expense Threshold”) in the aggregate at the Closing Date, the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which Target’s Transaction Expenses exceeds the Transaction Expense Threshold at the time of Closing (the “Transaction Expenses Excess Amount”). Any of Target’s Transactions Expenses in excess of the Transaction Expense Threshold shall be paid as liability of Target’s Shareholders, and so, to the extent that Transaction Expenses Excess Amounts are discovered after the Closing, and are not deducted from the Aggregate Purchase Price, they shall be paid out of the Escrow Fund irrespective of any Limitation set forth in Section 9.2(d). Schedule E provides a reasonable, good faith estimate of all Transaction Expenses incurred or to be incurred by or on behalf of Target as of the date on or prior to the date of this Agreement, and shall on two (2) days prior to the Closing be updated to provide for all Transaction Expenses that are or will become payable by Target.

(c) Closing Payment Schedule. At the Closing, Target shall deliver to Acquiror a definitive closing payment schedule (the “Closing Payment Schedule”) accurately setting forth: (i) the name of each holder of Target Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I (after giving effect to any exercises of Target Options or Target Warrants prior to the Effective Time of Merger I) (each, a “Shareholder”); (ii) the number of shares of Target Capital Stock of each class and series held by each such Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I; (iii) the shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be withheld and contributed to the Escrow Fund on behalf of each such Shareholder pursuant to Section 2.7(i); and (iv) the Cash Consideration and the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock that each such Shareholder is entitled to receive at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.6 (after deduction of the Escrow Share amounts to be withheld and contributed to the Escrow Fund on behalf of such Shareholder pursuant to Section 2.7(i)). The Closing Payment Schedule shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation which supports the information provided therein (including written confirmations from those Target Representatives, if any, identified by Acquiror as of the date of this Agreement as to all amounts paid, owed and to be owed by Target to such Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and copies of all relevant invoices therefrom).

(d) Target Stock Options.

(i) Vested Options. At the Effective Time of Merger I, each option to purchase Target Common Stock (each a “Target Option”) that was granted under the Target Option Plan and is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I and (A) held by an employee of Target and is vested as of the Effective Time of Merger I or (B) held by a non-employee of Target, whether or not vested (each option described in clause (A) or (B) being a “Non-Assumed Target Option”), shall not be assumed by Acquiror and, accordingly, at the Effective Time of Merger I shall remain vested and exercisable for such number of shares of Target Capital Stock subject to such Non-Assumed Target Option to the extent of its vesting and, to the extent not exercised at or before the Effective Time of Merger I, shall terminate and cease to be outstanding immediately upon the Effective Time of Merger I, in each case in accordance with the terms of each of the Target Option Plan and the applicable stock option agreement. However, Target shall enter into an agreement with each holder of an outstanding Non-Assumed Target Option which will provide such holder with the following rights: (A) the right to exercise the Non-Assumed Target Option to the extent of its vesting, determined as of the Effective Time of Merger I, as proximately as possible prior to the Effective Time of Merger I by such holder’s payment to Target of the applicable exercise price in United States currency or immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of the applicable stock option agreement for such Non-Assumed Option and (B) the right to receive with respect to the Target Common Stock acquired upon such exercise of the Non-Assumed Target Option the applicable Cash Consideration and Equity Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(ii). Any such executed and binding agreement of any exercising option holder shall be provided to Target at least three (3) business days prior to the Effective Time of Merger I in order for Target to prepare, and Acquiror to review, the Closing Option Schedule, Closing Payment Schedule and Updated Target Disclosure Schedule, which shall be amended to reflect the shares exercised and amounts received by Target for the exercises of Non-Assumed Target Options described above. At the Effective Time of Merger I, all shares of Target Capital Stock distributable pursuant to the exercise of the rights authorized pursuant to this Section 2.6(d)(i), shall be certificated and held by Target’s corporate secretary for purposes of the exchange procedures set forth in Section 2.7 below. Upon the exercise of Non-Assumed Target Options, Target shall satisfy all of its tax withholding obligations with respect to such exercises.

(ii) Unvested Options/Reserve. At the Effective Time of Merger I, Acquiror shall assume all Target Options outstanding at the Effective Time of Merger I which are not Non-Assumed Target Options and which do not otherwise terminate with their terms at the Effective Time of Merger I (the “Unvested Target Options”). Each Unvested Target Option so assumed by Acquiror shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the “Number of Assumed Shares”) at an exercise price per share of Acquiror Common Stock (the “Assumed Per Share Exercise Price”) determined as follows:

a) The Assumed Per Share Exercise Price shall be a dollar amount (rounding any fractional cent up to the nearest whole cent) which bears the same relationship to the fair market value of a share of Acquiror Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time of Merger I as the exercise price per share of Target Common Stock subject to the assumed Unvested Target Option immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I bears to the fair market value of a share of Target Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I.

b) For the purposes of this Section,

i) the fair market value of a share of Acquiror Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time of Merger I shall be deemed to be equal to the average of the closing prices of a share of Acquiror Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the five (5)

consecutive trading days beginning on the date of the Effective Time of Merger I or such other measure of such fair market value as may be required to avoid subjecting the assumed Unvested Target Options to Section 409A of the Code;

ii) the fair market value of a share of Target Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I shall be equal to the fair market value of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(ii) with respect to a share of Target Common Stock, taking into account with respect to the Equity Consideration component of such consideration the fair market value of a share of Acquiror Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I; and

iii) the fair market value of a share of Acquiror Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I shall be deemed to be equal to the average of the closing prices of a share of Acquiror Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Effective Time of Merger I or such other measure of such fair market value as may be required to avoid subjecting the assumed Unvested Target Options to Section 409A of the Code.

c) The Number of Assumed Shares shall be a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock (rounding any fractional share down to the next whole share) determined by dividing (1) the product of (X) the number of shares of Target Common Stock subject to the assumed Unvested Target Option at the Effective Time of Merger I and (Y) the difference between the fair market value of a share of Target Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I (as determined pursuant to subsection (B) above) and the exercise price per share of Target Common Stock subject to the assumed Unvested Target Option immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I by (2) the difference between the fair market value of a share of Acquiror Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time of Merger I (as determined pursuant to subsection (B) above) and the Assumed Per Share Exercise Price.

(iii) Schedule 2.6(d) sets forth a true and complete list as of the date hereof of each outstanding Target Option, with information specified in detail below in this subsection, and the number of shares available for issuance under the Target Option Plan. Target has represented and warranted in Section 3.5 to Acquiror that Schedule 2.6(d) accurately sets forth the following information with respect to each Target Option as of the date of execution of this Agreement: (i) the name of the holder of each outstanding Target Option, and whether or not such holder is a then-employed employee of Target; (ii) the Target Option Plan pursuant to which such Target Option was granted; (iii) the number of shares of Target Common Stock subject to such Target Option, and the applicable exercise price per share of Target Common Stock; (iv) the vesting schedule applicable to such Target Option (including the number of shares vested and unvested as of the date hereof); (v) to the extent applicable, a description of any acceleration of vesting provisions to which such Target Option is subject; (vi) the expiration date of such Target Option; and (vii) the tax status of such Target Option. At the Closing, Target shall deliver to Acquiror a definitive closing option schedule (the “Closing Option Schedule”) accurately setting forth: (A) the information described in clauses “(i)” through “(vii)” of the preceding sentence immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, (B) the Option Exchange Ratio and (C) the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock that will be subject to each Target Option immediately after its assumption by Acquiror at the Effective Time of Merger I, and the applicable exercise price per share of Acquiror Common Stock.

(iv) Prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, Target and Acquiror shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Target Option Plans or otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.6(d) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time of Merger I, holders of Target Options have no rights with respect to such Target Options other than those specifically provided in this Section 2.6.

(e) Target Warrants. At the Effective Time of Merger I, all warrants and options (other than those granted under the Target Option Plan and assumed above in Section 2.6(d)(ii)) to purchase Target Capital Stock then outstanding (“Target Warrants”) shall be cancelled in accordance with Section 6.7.

(f) Cancellation of Target Capital Stock Owned by Acquiror and Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time of Merger I, each share of Target Capital Stock owned by Acquiror or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, and each share of Target Capital Stock that is held in the treasury of Target, shall automatically be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no Merger Consideration shall be deliverable in exchange therefor.

(g) Capital Stock of Merger Sub I. At the Effective Time of Merger I, each share of common stock of Merger Sub I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation I. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub I evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation I.

(h) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio, the Option Exchange Ratio and Merger Consideration payable with respect to Target Capital Stock shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Acquiror Common Stock, Target Preferred Stock or Target Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Acquiror Common Stock or Target Capital Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time of Merger I.

(i) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof each Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall receive from Acquiror a share of Acquiror Common Stock rounded to the nearest whole share.

(j) Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Target Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected such holder’s right for appraisal of such shares in accordance with the California Law and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal (“Dissenting Shares”), if any, shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the California Law. Target shall give Acquiror prompt notice of any such demand received by Target, and Acquiror shall have the right to direct and participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand. Target agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the California Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for shares of Target Capital Stock shall receive payment therefore (but only after the value therefore shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, Acquiror shall issue and deliver, upon surrender by such shareholder of a Certificate or Certificates representing shares of Target Capital Stock, the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such shareholder would otherwise be entitled under this Section 2.6(j) and the Agreement of Merger less the portion of the Merger

Consideration allocable to such shareholder that has been deposited in the Escrow Fund (as defined in Section 2.7(i) hereof) in respect of such shares of Target Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.7(i) and Section 9 hereof.

2.7 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Computer Share shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger.

(b) Acquiror to Provide Common Stock and Cash. Promptly after the Effective Time of Merger I, Acquiror shall supply or cause to be supplied to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.7 through such reasonable procedures as Acquiror may adopt and as are reasonably acceptable to Target (i) certificates evidencing the shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.6 in exchange for shares of Target Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, less the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be deposited into an indemnity escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.7(i) and Section 9, and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient to permit the payment of the Aggregate Cash Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 2.6(a) in exchange for shares of Target Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I, less cash in an amount equal to the Transaction Expenses Excess Amount (the “Exchange Fund”).

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly on and after the Effective Time of Merger I, the Acquiror shall direct the Exchange Agent to obtain from or mail to each holder of record of Target Capital Stock, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the stock certificates representing shares of Target Capital Stock (each a “Certificate”) shall pass, only upon receipt of the Certificates by the Exchange Agent, and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify, including but not limited to, a general release of claims against the Target and its Representatives with respect to all matters relating to or arising out of the ownership of the securities or Target or as a shareholder of Target, and as are reasonably acceptable to Target, representations as to ownership of the Target Capital Stock, any applicable lock-up restrictions relating to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock under Section 6.2 hereof, and a joinder to the indemnity obligations of Section 9.2(b)(iv) hereof); (ii) such other customary documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions; and (iii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Acquiror, together with such letter of transmittal and other documents, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore (i) the number of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock less the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be deposited in the Escrow Fund on such holder’s behalf pursuant to Section 2.7(i) and Section 9 hereof; (ii) any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.7(d); (iii) a check in the amount equal to the portion of the Aggregate Cash Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2; and (iv) cash (without interest) in respect of fractional shares as provided in Section 2.6(j), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time of Merger I represented shares of Target Capital Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time of Merger I, for all corporate purposes other than the payment of dividends (subject to Section 2.7(d), to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of Acquiror Common Stock into which such shares of Target Capital Stock shall have been so converted, the right to receive the portion of the Aggregate Cash Consideration which shall be issued for such Target Capital Stock and the right to receive an amount in cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.6.

(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Acquiror Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time of Merger I will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest at the time of such surrender, the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time of Merger I theretofore payable (but for the provisions of this Section 2.7(d)) with respect to such shares of Acquiror Common Stock.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. At the close of business on the date of the Effective Time of Merger I, the stock transfer books of Target shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Target Capital Stock thereafter on the records of Target. If any certificate for shares of Acquiror Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Acquiror Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Acquiror or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the Shareholders twelve (12) months after the Effective Time of Merger I shall be delivered to Acquiror, upon demand, and any Shareholders who have not previously complied with this Section 2.7 shall thereafter look only to Acquiror for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Acquiror Common Stock.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(h) Dissenting Shares. The provisions of this Section 2.7 shall also apply to Dissenting Shares that lose their status as such, except that the obligations of Acquiror under this Section 2.7 shall commence on the date of loss of such status and the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such shares the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof.

(i) Escrow. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time of Merger I, and subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof and the Escrow Agreement, Acquiror shall cause to be delivered an aggregate amount of $4,700,000 (or such lesser amount which shall be equal to 10% of the Aggregate Purchase Price in the event such amount is adjusted under Section 7.2 (r) hereof) of the Merger Consideration to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 9 hereof), 100 percent (100%) of which shall be represented by a certificate or certificates representing shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued at the Closing (the “Escrow Shares”) (which shall be registered in the name of the Escrow Agent as nominee for the holders of Certificates canceled pursuant to this Section 2.7). For the purpose of valuing Acquiror Common Stock which shall be the Escrow Shares, the value of such shares shall be the Average Closing Price. Such shares shall be beneficially owned by such holders and such shares shall be held in escrow and shall be available to compensate Acquiror for certain damages as provided in Section 9. To the extent not used for such purposes, such shares shall be released, all as provided in Section 9.

2.8 Effect on Capital Stock in Merger II. At the Effective Time of Merger II, each share of common stock of Surviving Corporation I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger II shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Surviving Corporation I evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Target Capital Stock. The Merger Consideration delivered upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Target Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any dividends or distributions) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Target Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Target Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I. If, after the Effective Time of Merger I, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.

2.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof such Merger Consideration (and dividends or distributions) as may be required pursuant to Section 2.6; provided, however, that Acquiror may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.11 Employee Retention Bonus; Allocation. In addition to the Merger Consideration, for the benefit of Target, Acquiror shall set aside and reserve a cash amount equal to $3,000,000 above the Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Retention Bonus Pool”) to distribute to certain employees of Target who shall be offered employment by Acquiror listed on Schedule D, to be mutually determined by Acquiror and Target prior to the Closing (the “Target Employees”), to remain with the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Closing pursuant to the terms set forth herein. Prior to Closing, Target and Acquiror shall mutually agree upon a schedule under which each of the Target Employees shall be paid from the Retention Bonus Pool (“Retention Bonus Schedule”), with the applicable agreed upon bonus amounts set forth opposite such employee’s name on such Retention Bonus Schedule under the heading “Retention Bonus Aggregate Payment.” The Retention Bonus Pool shall be paid in three equal aggregate installments of $1,000,000 (each an “Annual Retention Bonus”) on each of the three annual anniversary dates of the Closing Date (each, a “Retention Bonus Payment Date”) to all of the Target Employees who are then employed with the Acquiror, provided, further, that on each of the Retention Bonus Payment Dates at least half of the Target Employees originally listed on Schedule 6.11 are then employed by Acquiror (for the purposes of this calculation, all Target Employees who are terminated by Acquiror without cause shall not be included), and for certain Target Employees indicated on the Retention Bonus Schedule as “Target Management Employees”, in addition to the foregoing requirements, they may only share in the Annual Retention Bonus if at least half of those Target Employees who are not indicated as Target Management Employees remain employed by the Acquiror on such Retention Bonus Payment Date (each such Target Employee eligible to share in the Annual Retention Bonus, an “Bonus Eligible Employee”). On each Retention Bonus Payment Date, each Bonus Eligible Employee will share in the Annual Retention Bonus pro rata amongst all then remaining Bonus Eligible Employees. The calculation of pro rata for each Bonus Eligible Employee shall be the quotient determined by such Bonus Eligible Employee’s Retention Bonus Aggregate Payment divided by the sum of all of the then Bonus Eligible Employees’ Retention Bonus Aggregate Payments. The payment of any portion of the Annual Retention Bonus shall be subject to the Target Employee’s execution and delivery of the Acquiror’s form of at-will

employment offer letter, proprietary rights agreements, and a Non-competition and Non-solicitation Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E to Acquiror duly executed by such employee; and provided, further, that Acquiror shall withhold from such any amount of Annual Retention Bonus paid to each Target Employee the applicable income, unemployment, FICA, social security and other taxes and pay such taxing authority all such amounts in accordance with Acquiror’s standard payroll practices.

2.12 Tax Consequences. For federal income tax purposes, the Mergers are intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

2.13 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Each of Acquiror, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Principal Shareholders and Target will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the Mergers in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as possible. If, at any time after the Effective Time, of Merger I or the Effective Time of Merger II, 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 Target, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II, the officers and directors of Target, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

3. Representations and Warranties of Target and Principal Shareholders. Target and, in the instance of certain representations made in Section 3.10(u), the Principal Shareholders, represent and warrant to Acquiror, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II that the statements contained in this Section 3 are true and correct, except as specifically disclosed in a document of even date herewith and delivered by Target to Acquiror on the date hereof referring to the representations and warranties in this Agreement attached hereto as Schedule B (the “Target Disclosure Schedule”).

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by Target does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any material obligation or loss of any material benefit under (a) any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Target, as amended; or (b) any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Target or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of clause (b), for such conflicts, violations, defaults, rights of termination, cancellation or acceleration as could not individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Target Material Adverse Effect.

The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, exhibits and the schedules hereto shall survive the Closing unless otherwise expressly provided for by their terms.

(b) Indemnification of Acquiror Indemnified Persons. Each of the Shareholders shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless and satisfy and defend Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, attorneys, consultants and agents (each an “Acquiror Indemnified Person” and collectively, “Acquiror Indemnified Persons”) against and in respect of any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal, expert and consultant fees and expenses and Taxes) (collectively “Damages”) arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Target or, in the case of Section 3.10(u), the Principal Shareholders in this Agreement or in any of the certificates delivered to Acquiror by Target pursuant to this Agreement (without giving effect to any materiality qualification contained in such representation or warranty, and without giving effect to any update of or modification to the Target Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date of this Agreement) during the applicable Survival Period;

(ii) any non-fulfillment or breach of, or default in connection with, any covenant or agreement by Target under this Agreement;

In no event shall any Shareholder have any liability pursuant to this Section 9 in excess of such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price payable to such Shareholder.

(c) Threshold for Claims. No claim for Damages shall be made under Section 9 unless the aggregate of Damages exceeds $100,000 for which claims are made hereunder by the Acquiror Indemnified Persons in which case the Acquiror Indemnified Person shall be entitled to seek compensation for all Damages without regard to the limitation set forth in this Section 9.2(c) (the

“Limitation”); provided, however, that any claim for Damages arising out of or resulting from Section 9.2(e) or from Section 9.2(b)(iii) above shall not be subject to such Limitation and Acquiror shall immediately be entitled to be indemnified, and receive payment, for all Damages related thereto.

(d) Determination of Damages. The amount of any Damages with respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder shall be determined net of any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Person or any of its affiliates with respect to such claim (such proceeds or payment to be paid over to the Indemnifying Person up to the amount paid by the Indemnifying Person if received after payment of the indemnification claim by the Indemnifying Person).

(b) Within five (5) business days after the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Fund to the Shareholders their pro rata portion of the Escrow Shares less, with respect to each such Shareholder, the number of Escrow Shares with an aggregate value (as determined pursuant to Section 9.4) equal to the sum of (i) such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of any liability described in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to Acquiror in accordance with Section 9.4 and (ii) such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of any liability described in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 9.3(a) with respect to any pending but unresolved indemnification claims of an Acquiror Indemnified Person. Any Escrow Shares shall be released to the Shareholders or released to Acquiror (as appropriate) promptly upon resolution of each specific indemnification claim involved or until any such portion of such amount is determined by Acquiror in good faith or a court of competent jurisdiction to be no longer necessary to satisfy such claims. Escrow Shares shall be released to the respective Stockholders in proportion to their pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration. Acquiror will take such action as may be necessary to cause such certificates representing Escrow Shares to be issued in the names of the appropriate persons. No fractional shares shall be released and delivered from the Escrow Fund to the Shareholders.

(c) No Escrow Shares or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by any Shareholder or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of any such Shareholder, prior to the delivery to such Shareholder of such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent as provided herein.

(d) The Escrow Agent is hereby granted the power to affect any transfer of Escrow Shares contemplated by this Agreement. Acquiror will cooperate with the Escrow Agent in promptly issuing stock certificates to affect such transfers.

9.4 Claims Upon Escrow Fund. Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent on or before the Termination Date of a certificate signed by any officer of Acquiror (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that Damages exist with respect to the indemnification obligations of Target and the Shareholders set forth in Section 9.2, and that a claim for such Damages has been made in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof prior to the Termination Date, and specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or claim to which such item is related, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 9, deliver to Acquiror out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, Acquiror Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund having a value equal to such Damages. The form of the Merger Consideration paid to Acquiror in connection with the indemnification of such Damages shall be in the same proportion as paid into the Escrow Fund. For the purpose of compensating Acquiror for its Damages pursuant to this Agreement, the Acquiror Common Stock in the Escrow Fund shall be valued at the Average Closing Price as determined as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

9.5 Objections to Claims.

(a) At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent. For a period of twenty (20) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery of Acquiror Common Stock, cash or other assets pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholders’ Agent to make such delivery. After the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of the Acquiror Common Stock in the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof, provided that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Shareholders’ Agent shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent and to Acquiror prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) day period.

(b) In case the Shareholders’ Agent shall so object in writing to any claim or claims by Acquiror made in any Officer’s Certificate, Acquiror shall have twenty (20) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Shareholders’ Agent. If after such twenty (20) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Shareholders’ Agent and Acquiror shall attempt in good faith for twenty (20) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Shareholders’ Agent and Acquiror should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and shall distribute the Acquiror Common Stock or other assets from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

9.6 Resolution of Conflicts. If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between the Shareholders’ Assets and Acquiror pursuant to Section 9.5, either Acquiror or the Shareholders’ Agent may initiate formal legal action with the applicable court in Austin, Texas to resolve such dispute. The decision of the court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Section 9 hereof, the Escrow Agent and the parties shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith.
