ARTICLE 2
EFFECT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS;
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.1. Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company or any shares of Capital Stock of Merger Sub:
(a) Cancellation of Capital Stock of Merger Sub; Treasury Stock.
(i) Each share, if any, of Capital Stock of the Company that is held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by the Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.
(ii) Each issued and outstanding share of Capital Stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and shall become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) Conversion of the Company Shares. Subject to Sections 1.3(e), 2.2, 2.3 and 2.5, Company Shareholders shall be entitled to receive an aggregate of up to 7,596,168 shares of Parent Common Stock and an aggregate of up to 7,498,814 shares of Parent Series D Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Share Consideration”), pro rata among the holders of the respective applicable classes of Capital Stock of the Company in accordance with the provisions of clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) below. The Share Consideration which each such holder shall be entitled to receive shall be set forth opposite each such holder’s name on the Closing Consideration Certificate. To the extent that there is any discrepancy between any amount set forth on the Closing Consideration Certificate and any amount that might be determinable pursuant to the Conversion Ratio formulas set forth in this Section 2.1(b), the Closing Consideration Certificate shall control. The Share Consideration shall be subject to reduction based on negative Net Working Capital (including reductions for Company Transaction Expenses), if any, in accordance with Section 2.2 and the Escrow Amount in accordance with Section 8.1 and the Escrow Agreement.
(i) Each issued and outstanding Company Common Share held by a Company Shareholder shall be converted into and shall become, by virtue of the Merger
4
and without any further action by the holder thereof, the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying such Company Common Share by the Conversion Ratio. The “Conversion Ratio” shall be the number obtained by dividing (A) 162,044,407 by (B) the sum of (1) the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (3) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Options, whether or not such Options are vested, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (provided, that such number shall not include any such shares subject to Options that the Company terminates on or prior to the Effective Time under Section 2.9(a)(i)).
(ii) Each issued and outstanding Company Preferred Share held by a Company Shareholder shall be converted into and shall become, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by the holder thereof, the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Series D Preferred Stock determined by multiplying such Company Preferred Share by the Conversion Ratio.
(iii) No fractional share shall be issued in the Merger, including as a result of an adjustment under Section 2.2(a). All fractional Parent Common Shares and shares of Parent Series D Preferred Stock to which a Company Shareholder would otherwise be entitled shall be cancelled and such Company Shareholder shall be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof based upon the Parent Stock Value.
(iv) With respect to each Company Common Shareholder whose Company Common Shares are subject at the Effective Time to restrictions constituting a risk of forfeiture under Section 83 of the Code, the terms of such restrictions shall, as a condition to receipt of Parent Common Stock, be modified to provide for the same vesting restrictions on the Parent Common Stock received in the Merger as are set forth in such shareholder’s agreement with the Company.
(v) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall file an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Parent Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.
(c) Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, all shares of Capital Stock of the Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares (a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Share Consideration upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.1(b) or, in the case of Company Shareholders exercising their appraisal rights under the Appraisal Statute, the amount prescribed under Section 2.5 hereof.
Section 2.2. Estimated Adjustment Amount.
(a) The Share Consideration shall be reduced based on any negative Net Working Capital, which calculation shall include any unpaid liabilities related to Company Transaction Expenses. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The Estimated Closing Date
5
Net Working Capital shall be determined in accordance with GAAP, using the same accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies as were used in the preparation of the Company Financials (to the extent such accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies are in conformity with GAAP), shall include liabilities related to Company Transaction Expenses, but shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall provide Parent and its Representatives access to review and make copies of all working papers, schedules, books and records and personnel and shall provide to Parent information supporting such calculation of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital in reasonable detail. If Parent disputes the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital amount (or any portion thereof) at any time prior to the Closing Date, then Parent and the Company will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute at or prior to the Closing Date. To the extent the Company and Parent cannot agree upon the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital prior to the Closing Date, then the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be deemed to be equal to one-half of the sum of the Company’s and Parent’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (the Estimated Closing Date New Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.2(a), the “Final Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The number of shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Series D Preferred Stock issuable under Section 2.1(b) and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to Roll-Over Options under Section 2.9(b) shall be reduced by a number of shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Series D Preferred Stock, as the case may be, equal to the sum of, (A)(1)any amount by which the Final Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital is negative plus (2) the amount of any Company Indebtedness at Closing, divided by (B) the Parent Stock Value, rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(b) Within 120 days following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Company Shareholders’ Representative (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as at the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a statement prepared in accordance with this Section 2.2 (the “Closing Date Statement”) setting forth the calculation of Net Working Capital as derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared, and the Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be determined in accordance with GAAP using the same accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies as were used in the preparation of the Company Financials (to the extent such accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies are in conformity with GAAP) and shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c) Except for the consummation of the Closing and the other transactions contemplated hereby, Parent and the Company agree that on the Closing Date the business and operations of the Company shall be conducted in the ordinary course in a manner substantially consistent with past practice. Unless Company Shareholders’ Representative notifies Parent in writing within thirty (30) days after Parent’s delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Statement of any objection to the computation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital set forth therein (the “Notice of Objection”), the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Statement shall be final and binding for all purposes hereunder. During such 30-day period, the Company Shareholders’ Representative shall be permitted to have access to, to review and to make copies of all relevant working papers, schedules, memoranda and other
6
documents prepared by Parent and its Representatives relating to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Statement. Any Notice of Objection shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the objections set forth therein. To be effective, any such Notice of Objection shall include a copy of the Closing Date Statement setting forth Parent’s determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital marked to indicate those specific line items that are in dispute (the “Disputed Items”) and shall be accompanied by Company Shareholders’ Representative’s calculation of each of the Disputed Items and Company Shareholders’ Representative’s revised Closing Date Statement setting forth its determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital. To the extent Company Shareholders’ Representative provides a Notice of Objection within such 30-day period, all items that are not Disputed Items shall be final and binding for all purposes hereunder. If the Company Shareholders’ Representative gives the Notice of Objection to Parent within such 30-day period, Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Disputed Items during the 30-day period commencing on the date Parent receives the Notice of Objection from the Company Shareholders’ Representative, in accordance with Section 2.4 below.
(d) “Adjustment Amount” (positive or negative) means (i) the Closing Date Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.2(c) minus (ii) the Final Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital.
(i) In the event that the Adjustment Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4 is negative, the Share Consideration shall be correspondingly reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis, based on the Parent Stock Value (such reduction, if any, being the “Consideration Reduction”). The Escrow Amount shall be correspondingly reduced by the Consideration Reduction in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
(ii) In the event that the Adjustment Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4 is positive, then (A) if both the Closing Date Net Working Capital and Final Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital are negative, then the Share Consideration shall be correspondingly increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis, based on the Parent Stock Value and in accordance with the Closing Consideration Certificate, and (B) otherwise, there shall be no change to the Share Consideration.
Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, for purposes of all Taxes and Tax Returns the parties to this Agreement shall treat all payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2 as an adjustment to the aggregate Share Consideration for all purposes.
Section 2.3. Earn-Out.
(a) Subject to this Section 2.3, the Share Consideration to which the Company Shareholders are entitled under Section 2.1(b) and the consideration payable to holders of Options who receive Roll-Over Options (“Roll-Over Option Holders”) pursuant to Section 2.9(b) shall be increased (the “Earn-Out”) by up to 1,636,811 shares, in the aggregate (including the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Earn-Out Restricted Stock Awards to be issued under Section 2.9(c)), of Parent Common Stock and Parent Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, representing one percent (1%) of the Fully Diluted Parent Stock immediately following the Effective Time (the “Earn-Out Amount”), if the Surviving Corporation achieves Net Advertising Revenue during the Earn-Out Period between $13,000,000 and $17,000,000. The increased consideration described in the preceding sentence shall be provided (i) to
7
Company Shareholders, if at all, in the form of Parent Common Stock or Parent Series D Preferred Stock delivered on the date described in 2.9(d), and (ii) to Roll-Over Option Holders in the form of restricted stock described in Section 2.9(c), which shall vest, if at all, at the time described in Section 2.9(c). No additional Earn-Out Amount will be payable (or, with respect to Roll-Over Option Holders, will vest) by Parent if Net Advertising Revenue exceeds $17,000,000. If the Surviving Corporation achieves Net Advertising Revenue of $17,000,000, then the entire Earn-Out Amount will be payable to the Company Shareholders (and vest, with respect to Roll-Over Option Holders) in accordance with this Section 2.3(a). If the Net Advertising Revenue is more than $13,000,000 but less than $17,000,000, then the Company Shareholders shall be entitled to (and, with respect to Roll-Over Option Holders, shall vest in) an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Series D Preferred Stock, as the case may be, equal to (A) the Earn-Out Amount multiplied by (B) the actual Net Advertising Revenue achieved in excess of $13,000,000, divided by (C) $4,000,000 (rounded up to the nearest whole number). The maximum potential allocations for each Company Shareholder and Roll-Over Option Holder of the Earn-Out Amount shall be set forth in the Closing Consideration Certificate.
(b) Within ninety (90) days of the end of the Earn-Out Period, Parent shall (i) prepare a statement (the “Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth the Net Advertising Revenue and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered the Earn-Out Statement, together with a summary of the basis for the determination of the Net Advertising Revenue, to the Company Shareholders’ Representative.
(c) If the Company Shareholders’ Representative objects to the calculations set forth in the Earn-Out Statement, then within thirty (30) days after the delivery to the Company Shareholders’ Representative of the Earn-Out Statement, the Company Shareholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Company and Parent a written notice (the “Earn-Out Notice of Objection”) describing in reasonable detail the Company Shareholders’ Representative’s objections to the Earn-Out Statement and setting forth the calculation determined by the Company Shareholders’ Representative to be correct. Unless the Company Shareholders’ Representative delivers an Earn-Out Notice of Objection to Parent within thirty (30) days after Parent’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement, the Earn-Out Statement shall be final and binding for all purposes hereunder. If the Company Shareholders’ Representative gives the Earn-Out Notice of Objection to the Company and Parent within such 30-day period, the Company and the Company Shareholders’ Representative will resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 2.4 below.
(d) Within ten (10) days of (i) the delivery by Parent of an Earn-Out Statement which provides that Net Advertising Revenue exceeds $13,000,000 and either (A) the Company Shareholders’ Representative’s written agreement to such statement or (B) the expiration of the period during which the Company Shareholders’ Representative may provide an Earn-Out Notice of Objection pursuant to Section 2.3(c) without his having providing such notice, or (ii) if the Company Shareholders’ Representative delivers an Earn-Out Notice of Objection, a resolution of any dispute regarding the calculation of Net Advertising Revenue in accordance with Section 2.4 below, and such resolution provides that Net Advertising Revenue exceeds $13,000,000, Parent shall deliver to the Company Shareholders’ Representative, for distribution to the Company Shareholders, stock certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, issuable to such Company Shareholders pursuant to this Section 2.3, allocated in accordance with the Closing Consideration Certificate.
8
In the event that, after the Effective Time but prior to the end of the Earn-Out Period, Parent proposes to engage in either (i) an underwritten public offering of Parent Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or (ii) a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Parent Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) (in each case, an “Extraordinary Transaction “), Parent may, at its sole option, notify the Company Shareholders’ Representative in writing of such Extraordinary Transaction and Parent’s intention to accelerate the payment of the Earn-Out Amount, if any, prior to such transaction (the “Extraordinary Transaction Notice”). The Extraordinary Transaction Notice shall set forth the expected Net Advertising Revenue, as determined by Parent. The Company Shareholders’ Representative shall have twenty (20) days after delivery of such notice to object to the Net Advertising Revenue set forth in such notice. If the Company Shareholders’ Representative disagrees with the amount of expected Net Advertising Revenue set forth in the Extraordinary Transaction Notice, Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the expected Net Advertising Revenue during the Earn-Out Period. If the parties are unable to agree on the expected Net Advertising Revenue within thirty (30) days after the date of Parent’s delivery of the Extraordinary Transaction Notice to the Company Shareholders’ Representative, Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative shall submit for arbitration the calculation of the expected Net Advertising Revenue to an Accounting Firm (as defined below), in accordance with Section 2.4(b).
Section 2.4. Dispute Resolution.
(a) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Objection under Section 2.2(c) or an Earn-Out Notice of Objection under Section 2.3(c), the Company Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Objection or the Earn-Out Notice of Objection. At the end of such 30-day period, the Company Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall submit for arbitration any and all matters that remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Notice of Objection or Earn-Out Notice of Objection, as applicable, to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm, selected and agreed to in writing by both parties (the “Accounting Firm”).
(b) The Company Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within thirty (30) days following the submission thereof. An order may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the parties) pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and the Company Shareholders and Option Holders (out of the Escrow Amount based on the Parent Stock Value as of the Closing Date), on the other hand in inverse proportion as each may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.
Section 2.5. Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Capital Stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly
9
demands appraisal of such shares (the “Appraisal Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 10.356 of the TBOC (the “Appraisal Statute”) and applicable Law shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable Share Consideration as provided in Section 2.1, but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with the Appraisal Statute. At the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of the Appraisal Statute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under the Appraisal Statute, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by the Appraisal Statute, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under the Appraisal Statute shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become solely, the right to receive the Share Consideration as provided in Section 2.1. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other related instruments served pursuant to the TBOC and received by the Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, nor shall the Company agree to or commit to making any such payment or settlement or admit to any liability with respect to such matters.
Section 2.6. Adjustments to Share Consideration. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 2 to the contrary (but without in any way limiting the covenants in Section 5.1(b)), if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding Company Common Shares, the shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, or the Capital Stock of Parent shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the allocation of the Share Consideration, the Option Consideration, the Escrow Amount and the Earn-Out Amount, if any, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction.
Section 2.7. Exchange Procedures.
(a) Prior to or as soon as practicable after the Closing, Parent shall provide to each holder of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of such Certificate in exchange for the Share Consideration with respect to each of the shares of Capital Stock of the Company represented thereby. Following surrender of a Certificate to Parent together with such Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, a properly executed substitute Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN, if applicable, from such holder in form and substance acceptable to Parent, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent or its exchange agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor such number of shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Series D Preferred Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) into which the shares of Capital Stock of the Company
10
represented by such Certificate were converted pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, such Certificates shall upon and following the Effective Time represent solely the right to receive the allocation of the Share Consideration with respect to the shares of Capital Stock of the Company represented thereby.
(b) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, subject to Section 2.2, in exchange for such lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Certificate a stock certificate representing Parent Common Stock or Parent Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, in the amount of the Share Consideration with respect to the shares of Capital Stock of the Company represented by such lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Certificate, pursuant to Section 2.1; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the receipt of such amount by such holder, require the owner of such lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably require as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed.
(c) Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Capital Stock of the Company pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or under any provision of tax Law.
(d) None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the exchange agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Share Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to five (5) years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which Share Consideration in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such cash in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
Section 2.8. No Further Ownership Rights. The Share Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 upon conversion of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Capital Stock, subject, however, to the obligation to pay any further Share Consideration in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Capital Stock of the Company that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any certificates formerly representing shares of Capital Stock of the Company are presented to Parent or the exchange agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.
Section 2.9. Options.
(a) Each Option held by a Person who will not be an employee or consultant of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Merger and who is not an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, shall be
11
cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time in consideration for the payment by the Company in cash of an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Common Shares subject to such Option that will be vested at the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the amount by which (x) $0.25 exceeds (y) the per share exercise price of the Option.
(b) Each Option held by a current employee or consultant of the Company who will be an employee or consultant of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Merger shall be cancelled and there shall be substituted therefor an option (the “Option Consideration”) for Parent Common Stock (a “Roll-Over Option”), evidenced by a stock option agreement (a “Roll-Over Option Agreement”). Each Roll-Over Option Agreement shall be issued under Parent’s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan and shall (i) provide for the same vesting schedule as such holder’s terminated Option, (ii) cover a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Company Common Shares subject to such terminated Option by the Conversion Ratio (as may be adjusted pursuant to this Article 2), , and (iii) have an exercise price equal to (1) the aggregate exercise price of the existing Option, divided by (2) the number of shares determined under the foregoing clause (ii). The shares covered by the Roll-Over Options shall be subject to reduction based on Net Working Capital (including reductions for Company Transaction Expenses) and the Escrow Amount in accordance with Sections 2.2, 2.3, 1.3(e) and 8.1. Any such reduction will be applied first to vested shares and then to unvested shares. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Roll-Over Option shall be set forth opposite each such Option holder’s name on the Closing Consideration Certificate. As soon as practicable following the Closing, Parent will deliver to each Option holder a Roll-Over Option Agreement. The options substitution described in this Subsection (c) shall be made with respect to nonqualified stock options in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and with respect to incentive stock options in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.424-1.
(c) As soon as practicable following the Closing, Parent will deliver to each holder of a Roll-Over Option a restricted stock award (each, an “Earn-Out Restricted Stock Award”), representing the maximum number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder pursuant to the Earn-Out as set forth on the Closing Consideration Certificate. The Earn-Out Restricted Stock Awards shall become vested, to the extent to which the Earn-Out Amount has been earned pursuant to Section 2.3, if at all, upon the later of (i) determination of such Earn-Out Amount in accordance with Section 2.3 (provided that such recipient of an Earn-Out Restricted Stock Award was still employed by, or providing consulting or advisory services to, the Company or the Parent through December 31, 2009 or such earlier date on which a Liquidation Event is consummated), and (ii) the first to occur of (A) the end of the lock-up period following the first underwritten public offering of Parent Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (B) a Liquidation Event. The Closing Consideration Certificate shall set forth the maximum number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be subject to each Earn-Out Restricted Stock Award.
(d) The Company agrees that the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering any stock option plan or other stock or equity-related plan of the Company (the “Company Stock Plans”) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions (including obtaining any required consents but not including the payment of any cash or non-cash consideration other than as specified under Section 2.9(a)(i)) as may be required to effect the transactions described in this Section 2.9 as of the Effective Time. The Company shall terminate all Company Stock Plans at the Effective Time.

Section 2.10. Right to Purchase Parent Series E Preferred Stock
(a) The Company Preferred Shareholders shall have the right to purchase (the “Series E Purchase Right”) a number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Series E Preferred Stock”) with an aggregate purchase price of not less than $7,500,000 and no more than $15,000,000 (the “Series E Purchase Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement as entered into by and among Parent and the other purchasers of Parent Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Purchase Agreement”), within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date. Parent shall provide a copy of the Series E Purchase Agreement to the Company Preferred Shareholders at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, or such date agreed upon by a majority of Company Preferred Shareholders. The Company Preferred Shareholders may exercise the Series E Purchase Right by providing written notice of such exercise to Parent within five (5) days after the Closing Date.
(b) The purchase and sale of any Parent Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Closing”) shall take place no later than fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date at a place to be mutually determined by the Company Shareholders’ Representative and Parent. At the Series E Closing, the Parent and the Company Preferred Shareholders participating as investors thereunder shall each deliver to the other party the documents, instruments and other deliverables required under the Series E Purchase Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.1. Indemnification of Parent. From and after the Closing, each of Parent and its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) (each, a “Parent Indemnified Party”) shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless from the Escrow Amount and, to the extent that the Escrow Amount has been applied in its entirety to Losses under this Article 8, from any amounts that become payable pursuant to Section 2.3, by way of setoff, against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by such Parent Indemnified Party, arising from, relating to or otherwise in connection with:
(a) any breach, as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date, of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement (other than in Section 3.13, which shall be governed by Section 8.4) or in any of the certificates furnished by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (including any Company Disclosure Schedules or the Closing Consideration Certificate) without giving effect to any knowledge or materiality threshold or qualifier contained therein;
(b) any breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement (other than in Section 5.3, which shall be governed by Section 8.4);
(c) any failure of any Company Shareholder to have good, valid and marketable title, free and clear of all Liens, to the Capital Stock of the Company issued in the name of such Company Shareholder and issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time;
(d) any claim by a shareholder or former shareholder of the Company, or such shareholder’s affiliates, or by any other Person, seeking to assert, or based upon: (i) ownership or rights to ownership of any shares of stock of the Company; (ii) any right of such shareholder or shareholder’s affiliates, or a Company Shareholder or Option Holder (other than the right to receive the Share Consideration, the Option Consideration or any other consideration provided in or contemplated by this Agreement), including any option, preemptive right or right to notice or to vote; (iii) any right under the Constitutive Documents of the Company; (iv) any incorrect allocation of shares of Parent Common Stock (including Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Roll-Over Options) or Parent Series D Preferred Stock in the Merger (as set forth on the Closing Consideration Certificate); (v) the sale to Parent pursuant to this Agreement of shares held by such shareholder; or (vi) any other claim with respect to such shareholder’s or former shareholder’s shares of the Company prior to the Merger; or
(e) any Indebtedness of the Company at Closing;
provided, however, that no Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to clause (a) above unless the aggregate of all Losses for which Parent Indemnified Parties would, but for this proviso, be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis $25,000 (the “Company Shareholder Indemnity Threshold”), at which point each Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified for the aggregate Losses and not just amounts in excess of the Company Shareholder Indemnity Threshold (except that the foregoing proviso shall not apply to any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Organization and
43
Standing), 3.2 (Capital Stock; Subsidiaries), 3.3 (Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability), 3.4 (No Conflict; Consents), 3.6 (Undisclosed Liabilities; Indebtedness), 3.15 (Employee Benefit Plans), 3.17 (Compliance with Laws), 3.18 (Employee and Labor Matters), and 3.23 (Brokers), the Closing Consideration Certificate or to any act of fraud). The consent of any particular Company Shareholder or Option Holder shall not be required in order for Parent to be indemnified under this Article 8.
Section 8.2. Indemnification of Company Shareholder Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing, Parent shall indemnify the Company Shareholders and Option Holders and their Affiliates (each a “Company Shareholder Indemnified Party”) against and hold each Company Shareholder Indemnified Party harmless from any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any such Company Shareholder Indemnified Party arising from, relating to or otherwise in connection with:
(a) any breach, as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date, of any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or in the certificate furnished by Parent pursuant to this Agreement; or
(b) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement;
provided, however, that Parent’s liability under this Section 8.2 shall be limited to the aggregate Escrow Amount and any amounts owed hereunder shall be paid in Parent Common Stock, Parent Series D Preferred Stock and options to purchase Parent Common Stock, based on the Parent Stock Value as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3. Indemnification Claims.
(a) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 8.1 or 8.2 in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim (other than Tax Claims, which shall be governed by Section 8.4), such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim (including in such notice a brief and specific description of the applicable claim(s), including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by Parent) within 20 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 8.1 or 8.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure or the provisions of this Article 8 shall have expired pursuant to Section 8.5. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within ten Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party alone shall conduct and control the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to be indemnified or held harmless under Section 8.1 or 8.2 for such Third Party Claim (but the amount at stake shall nevertheless be counted toward the Company Shareholder Indemnity Threshold) if it shall settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless the Indemnified Party has sought such consent and such consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent.
44
(b) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement other than in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party (including in such notice a brief and specific description of the applicable claim(s), including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by Parent); provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 8.1 or 8.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure or the provisions of this Article 8 shall have expired pursuant to Section 8.5. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 20 Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes the indemnity claimed by the Indemnified Party under Section 8.1 or 8.2, such indemnity claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability to be indemnified under Section 8.1 or 8.2 and the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the amount of the Losses stated in such notice to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the Losses (or any portion thereof) are estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Losses (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
(c) Except with respect to fraud, from and after the Closing, the Escrow Agreement and any amounts payable under Section 2.3 shall be the sole and exclusive means by which Parent may collect any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article 8 shall limit Parent’s recourse against any Company Shareholder or Option Holder pursuant to the terms of any document to which such Company Shareholder or Option Holder is a party, such as a Release or Letter of Transmittal.
(d) With respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.4(a), references in this Agreement to the “Indemnifying Party” with respect to any right to give or receive notice or consent shall be deemed to refer to the Company Shareholders’ Representative. Should the Company Shareholders’ Representative resign or be unable to serve, a new Company Shareholders’ Representative will be selected jointly by a vote of Company Shareholders and Option Holders who, at Closing, held at least a majority of the Company Common Shares (on an as-converted basis and on an as-exercised basis with respect to Options), whose appointment shall be effective upon execution by such successor of a joinder agreement providing for such successor to become a party to the Escrow Agreement as the Company Shareholders’ Representative, in which case such successor shall for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement be the Company Shareholders’ Representative (and the prior acts taken by the succeeded Company Shareholders’ Representative shall remain valid for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement).
Section 8.4. Tax Indemnification.
(a) The Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless from the Escrow Amount, and, to the extent that the Escrow Amount has been applied in its entirety to Losses under this Article 8, from any amount that becomes payable pursuant to Section 2.3, by way of setoff, against (i) all liability for Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) all liability (as a result of Treasury Regulation 1.1502-6(a) or otherwise) for Taxes of any Person resulting from an agreement entered into or affiliation or membership in an affiliated, combined, consolidated, or unitary group with the Company on or before the
45
Closing Date, (iii) all Losses arising from, relating to or otherwise in connection with any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in Section 3.13 or Section 5.3; or (iv) all liability for reasonable legal fees and expenses and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection any item in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above (for purposes of this Article 8 and Section 8.4, such items shall be considered to be Losses).
(b) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”):
(i) real, personal and intangible property, franchise, license, and other Taxes not imposed on income, receipts, sales, use, payment of wages, or other identifiable transactions or events of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and
(ii) the Taxes of the Company (other than those described in clause (i)) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.
(c) With respect to the items under Section 8.4(a) (each, a “Tax Claim”), the Parent Indemnified Party shall send prompt notice to the Company Shareholders’ Representative in writing of the Tax Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Parties have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(d) The Parent Indemnified Party alone shall conduct and control the defense of any Tax Claim. The Parent Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to be indemnified or held harmless under Section 8.4 for any Tax Claim if it shall settle such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Company Shareholders’ Representative, unless the Indemnified Party has sought such consent and such consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being agreed that the Company Shareholders’ Representative shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent.
(e) Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the amount of the Share Consideration for Tax purposes, unless a final determination with respect to the Parent Indemnified Party causes such payment to be treated other than as an adjustment to the amount of the Share Consideration for federal income tax purposes.
46
Section 8.5. Termination of Indemnification. All representations, warranties and covenants that are covered by the indemnification agreements in this Article 8 shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of this Article 8 and shall expire, and the right to be indemnified and held harmless shall terminate, on the date one year following the Closing Date; provided, however, that, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any Losses as to which the Indemnified Party shall have, on or prior to such date, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party.
Section 8.6. No Right of Contribution. No Company Shareholder or Option Holder shall have any right of contribution against the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.
ARTICLE 9

(b) by either Parent or the Company:

(ii) if any Governmental Entity issues an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or
(iii) if any condition to the obligation of such Party to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7.2 (in the case of Parent) or 7.3 (in the case of the Company) becomes incapable of satisfaction prior to the Outside Date;
(c) by Parent, if the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within ten (10) days after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach;
(d) by the Company, if Parent breaches or fails to perform in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within ten (10) days after the giving of written notice to Parent of such breach; or
47
(e) by Parent if, within one hour after of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the holders of Capital Stock of the Company set forth in Section 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall not have executed and delivered a written consent of shareholders and notice to the Company (the “Written Consent”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, duly adopting the resolutions contained therein, or the Company Shareholder Approval shall not have been duly obtained.

An Indemnified Party may make a claim for indemnification against the Escrow Funds under Section 8.1 of the Merger Agreement (such claims being referred to as the “Claims”) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the first anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Escrow Release Date”).
(b) Indemnification Certificates of Instruction. With respect to a Claim, Parent may at any time on or prior to the Escrow Release Date deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Company Shareholders’ Representative) one or more certificates in substantially the form of Annex I (an “Indemnification Certificate of Instruction”) with respect to such claim (attaching thereto a copy of a notice from Parent to the Company Shareholders’ Representative that serves to identify for the Company Shareholders’ Representative the indemnity claim covered by such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction). The Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the Company Shareholders’ Representative of its receipt of an Indemnification Certificate of Instruction within two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof.
(c) Objection Period. The Company Shareholders’ Representative shall have twenty (20) Business Days following the Escrow Agent’s delivery of an Indemnification Certificate of Instruction to the Company Shareholders’ Representative (the “Objection Period”)
2
to deliver a certificate in substantially the form of Annex II (an “Objection Certificate”) (a copy of which shall be delivered to Parent) disputing the Indemnified Parties’ right to be indemnified with respect to the indemnified matter referred to, or disputing the amount (the “Owed Amount”) in respect thereof claimed by the Indemnified Parties to be owed to them in respect thereof pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction. Within ten (10) days after the Company Shareholders’ Representative’s delivery of the Objection Certificate during the Objection Period, Parent shall deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent stating that Parent (i) shall attempt to resolve the dispute with Company Shareholders’ Representative within sixty (60) days from the date of such notice, or (ii) has released all claims set forth in the Indemnification Certificate of Instruction. If Parent attempts to resolve the dispute and has not successfully done so within sixty (60) days of its notice to the Escrow Agent, Parent shall notify the Escrow Agent that the disputed matter has proceeded to litigation.
(d) Delivery of Owed Amount. If the Escrow Agent (i) shall not have received from the Company Shareholders’ Representative an Objection Certificate within the Objection Period, or (ii) shall have received such an Objection Certificate within the Objection Period and shall thereafter have received either (A) a certificate from Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative substantially in the form of Annex III (a “Resolution Certificate”) stating that Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative have agreed that the Owed Amount referred to in such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction (or a specified portion of the Owed Amount) is deliverable to one or more of the Indemnified Parties or (B) a copy of a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (accompanied by a certificate of Parent substantially in the form of Annex IV (a “Litigation Certificate”)) (a copy of which shall also be provided to the Company Shareholders’ Representative) stating that the Owed Amount referred to in such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction (or a specified portion of the Owed Amount) is payable to one or more of the Indemnified Parties, then the Escrow Agent shall, on or prior to the second Business Day next following, as applicable, (x) the expiration of the Objection Period or (y) the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a Resolution Certificate or a Litigation Certificate, as the case may be, instruct the Company’s transfer agent to cancel existing stock certificates in the Escrow Funds and issue new stock certificates to the Company Shareholders’ Representative, as the Company Shareholders’ Representative, with the number of shares issued to the Company Shareholders’ Representative reduced by the Owed Amount as set forth on the Indemnification Certificate of Instruction (or as otherwise directed in such Resolution Certificate or Litigation Certificate) based on the Parent Stock Value; provided that if such Resolution Certificate or Litigation Certificate specifies that a lesser amount than such Owed Amount is payable to Parent, the number of shares issued to the Company Shareholders’ Representative, as Company Shareholders’ Representative shall be reduced by such lesser amount.
(e) Notification of Dispute. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice to Parent of its receipt of an Objection Certificate within two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof, together with a copy of such Objection Certificate. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the Company Shareholders’ Representative of its receipt of a Litigation Certificate within two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof, together with a copy of such Litigation Certificate.
3
(f) Cancellation by Delivery of Escrow Shares. Upon the delivery by the Escrow Agent of the Owed Amount referred to in an Indemnification Certificate of Instruction by means of delivery of Escrow Shares or other Escrow Funds, such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction shall be deemed cancelled. Upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of a Resolution Certificate or a Litigation Certificate and the payment by the Escrow Agent of the Owed Amount referred to in either such certificate, the related Indemnification Certificate of Instruction shall be deemed cancelled.
(g) Cancellation by Parent. Upon Parent’s determination that it then has no claim or it has released its claim with respect to an Owed Amount referred to in an Indemnification Certificate of Instruction (or a specified portion of the Owed Amount), Parent will deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Annex V (a “Parent Cancellation Certificate”) canceling such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction (or such specified portion of the Owed Amount), and such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction (or portion thereof) shall thereupon be deemed cancelled. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the Company Shareholders’ Representative of its receipt of a Parent Cancellation Certificate within two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof, together with a copy of such Parent Cancellation Certificate.
(h) Cancellation by the Company Shareholders’ Representative. Upon receipt of a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to the effect that a Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified for any (or a specified portion) of the Owed Amount referred to in an Indemnification Certificate of Instruction as to which the Company Shareholders’ Representative delivered an Objection Certificate within the Objection Period, the Company Shareholders’ Representative may, provided no Resolution Certificate or Litigation Certificate with respect to such matter shall have previously been received by the Escrow Agent, deliver a copy of such final, nonappealable court order (accompanied by a certificate of the Company Shareholders’ Representative substantially in the form of Annex VI (a “Company Shareholders’ Representative Cancellation Certificate”)) canceling such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction (or such specified portion of the Owed Amount) with respect to such Indemnified Party, and such Indemnification Certificate of Instruction (or portion thereof) shall thereupon be deemed cancelled. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice to Parent of its receipt of a Company Shareholders’ Representative Cancellation Certificate within two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof, together with a copy of such Company Shareholders’ Representative Cancellation Certificate.
(i) Parent as Agent for Parent Indemnified Parties. Only Parent may make a claim against the Escrow Funds, either for itself or on behalf of any other Parent Indemnified Party. In the event that Parent makes a claim against the Escrow Funds on behalf of any other Parent Indemnified Party, any amounts received by Parent on behalf of such other Parent Indemnified Party shall be turned over to such other Parent Indemnified Party promptly upon receipt by Parent.
4
4. Release of Escrow Funds.
(a) Release of Escrow Funds. On the next Business Day following the Escrow Release Date, the amount (if any) equal to (A) all amounts that remain in the Account as of such date minus (B) the Outstanding Claims Reserve (as defined below) as of such date shall be released from the Account by the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 4(a). “Outstanding Claims Reserve” means, as of any date, the sum of all of the Owed Amounts referred to in any Indemnification Certificates of Instruction, Resolution Certificates and Litigation Certificates received by the Escrow Agent (on or before the Escrow Release Date in the case of Indemnification Certificates of Instruction) that have not been cancelled as of such date in accordance with Section 3(e), (f) or (g), without duplication.
(b) Delivery of Escrow Funds. The Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the property and funds to be released pursuant to Section 4(a) to the Company Shareholders’ Representative, to be distributed to the Company Shareholders in the respective proportions set forth on Schedule B to this Agreement.
5. Judgments, Call-Back Procedures, Monthly Statements.
(a) Judgments.
(i) In the event that Escrow Agent makes any payment to any other Party pursuant to this Agreement and for any reason such payment (or any portion thereof) is required to be returned to the Account or another Party or is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a receiver, trustee or other Party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, other federal or state law, common law or equitable doctrine, then the recipient shall repay to Bank upon written request the amount so paid to it.
(ii) Escrow Agent shall, in its sole discretion, comply with judgments or orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Funds, including without limitation any attachment, levy or garnishment, without any obligation to determine such court’s jurisdiction in the matter and in accordance with its normal business practices. If Escrow Agent complies with any such judgment, order or process, then it shall not be liable to any Party or any other person by reason of such compliance, regardless of the final disposition of any such judgment, order or process.
(b) Call-Back Procedures. In the event that a Party gives property and funds transfer instructions (other than in writing at the time of execution of the Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, Escrow Agent shall seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the authorized person or persons of such Party listed on Schedule C attached hereto, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent. The Parties agree that such security procedure is commercially reasonable.
(c) Monthly Statements. Escrow Agent will furnish monthly statements to Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative setting forth the activity in the Account.

In addition, Parent will reimburse Escrow Agent for all reasonable other out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation, overnight delivery charges, and reasonable attorneys’ fees (which may include the allocated cost of internal counsel to Escrow Agent)) paid or incurred by it in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.
7. Duties; Liabilities and Indemnification.
(a) Escrow Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities as expressly set forth herein, and no other duty, obligation or covenant shall be implied or enforceable against Escrow Agent by any person.
(b) Without limiting the effect of Section 7(a) hereof, Escrow Agent shall have no obligation or liability to either Parent or the Company Shareholders’ Representative (or any person claiming through any of them): (i) to review, examine, enforce, administer or take notice of any agreement, instrument or document other than this Agreement; (ii) to determine whether any conditions precedent to a disbursement of Escrow Funds, other than as set forth in Section 3, Section 4 or Section 7, have been or will be satisfied or otherwise to investigate any notice received by Escrow Agent hereunder; (iii) to evaluate or determine the validity or legality of any action or omission by any other person; (iv) to make any payment to Parent or the Company Shareholders’ Representative from any source other than the Account; (v) to communicate with any person other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement; (vi) for any action or omission of Escrow Agent taken or made upon the written, joint instructions of Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative; (vii) for any action or omission of any third party, including Parent, the Company Shareholders’ Representative or any federal or state bank regulator; (viii) for any other action or omission of, or for errors in judgment by, Escrow Agent under or in connection with this Agreement taken or made in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct; and (ix) for incidental, consequential, indirect or punitive damages in any event.
(c) Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees. Escrow Agent is entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters hereunder, and may act on the opinion or advice of counsel, accountants, engineers or surveyors. Escrow Agent is not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or non-action taken or made in good faith in reliance on any such opinion or advice.
(d) Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the service thereof. Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that the person listed on the incumbency certificate provided by each Party in accordance with the terms hereof, who purports to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.
6
(e) Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Escrow Agent and each of its officers, directors, employees and affiliates (the “Escrow Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered or incurred by an Escrow Indemnified Party and arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except any such claims, suits, liabilities, cost, damages or expenses suffered or incurred by an Escrow Indemnified Party as a direct result of the Escrow Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge of its obligations under this Contract.
8. Rights of Stockholders in Escrow Funds.
(a) Voting Rights. Unless and until any Escrow Share is cancelled and returned to Parent pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, the stockholder of record of such share shall retain all rights of holders of such shares, including the right to vote such shares.
(b) Dividends and Other Distributions in Respect of the Escrow Shares. Until the release of any Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 4, all dividends payable in cash with respect to such Escrow Shares shall be paid to each stockholder of record and delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held in the Account, and deemed part of the Escrow Funds. All dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-cash Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to by held in the Account and are deemed part of the Escrow Funds, held in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Shares” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.
(c) Restrictions on Transfer. Until the release of any Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 4, no sale, transfer or other disposition may be made of any Escrow Share.
9. Term; Termination.
(a) Term. This Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of: (i) the Escrow Release Date, (ii) the date as of which all Escrow Funds in the Account (including the Outstanding Reserve Claims) have been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement; and (iii) the date that is five (5) business days after the date on which Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative give joint written notice to Escrow Agent that this Agreement shall terminate; provided, that if there are Owed Amounts in dispute pursuant to one or more Indemnification Certificates of Instruction that have not been resolved by the Parties, then this Agreement shall survive until such dispute(s) have been resolved and the Escrow Funds have been released pursuant to such resolution.
(b) Resignation and Removal. The Escrow Agent may resign as such thirty (30) days after notifying Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative in writing of its intent to resign. In addition, the Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced on a date designated in a written instrument signed by Parent and the Company Shareholders’
7
Representative and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such resignation or removal shall be effective until a successor escrow agent has acknowledged its appointment as such as provided in Section 9(d). In either event, upon the effective date of such resignation or removal, and upon payment of all amounts owed to the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the property comprising the Escrow Funds to the successor jointly designated by Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative or designated by a court of competent jurisdiction as provided in Section 9(c), as applicable, together with such records maintained by the Escrow Agent in connection with its duties under this Agreement and other information with respect to the Escrow Funds as such successor may reasonably request. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all the escrow business of the Escrow Agent’s corporate trust line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.
(c) Selection of Successor by Escrow Agent. If a successor escrow agent shall not have acknowledged its appointment as such as provided in Section 9(d), in the case of a resignation, prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following the date of a notice of resignation or, in the case of a removal, on the date designated for the Escrow Agent’s removal, as the case may be, because Parent and the Company Shareholders’ Representative are unable to agree on a successor escrow agent, or for any other reason, the Escrow Agent may petition, at the expense of Parent and Company Shareholders’ Representative, a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor escrow agent and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon Parent, the Company Shareholders’ Representative, the Company Shareholders and the Option Holders; provided, however, that any such successor escrow agent shall be in the business of providing escrow services as contemplated hereunder.
(d) Release of Withdrawing Escrow Agent. Upon written acknowledgment by a successor escrow agent appointed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9 of its agreement to serve as escrow agent under this Agreement and the receipt of the property then comprising the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and relieved of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement (except to the extent the withdrawing Escrow Agent’s actions or omissions to act with respect to such duties, responsibilities and obligations constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct) and the successor escrow agent shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the Escrow Agent. Any Escrow Agent acting under this Agreement shall each be entitled to rely on the survival of Section 7(e) following the withdrawal and replacement of such Escrow Agent.
(e) Survival. The provisions of Sections 7(e), 9, 11, 12 and 13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

The Escrow Agent agrees to use such new incumbency certificate for call-back information and to determine the validity of signatures of each Party.
11. Disputes. In the event of any dispute with respect to the Account or the Escrow Funds, the interpretation of this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, or to the propriety of any action contemplated by Escrow Agent hereunder, or if Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action should be taken hereunder, then in any such case Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to resolve the dispute or disagreement or to make any disbursement of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds, but may commence an action in the nature of an interpleader and seek to deposit such property and funds with a court of competent jurisdiction, and thereby shall be discharged from any further duty or obligation with respect to the Account and any Escrow Funds. Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion in lieu of filing such action in interpleader, elect to cease to perform under this Agreement and to ignore all instructions received in connection herewith until Escrow Agent has received a written notice of resolution signed by the parties to such dispute or disagreement or a final and non-appealable order of a court with jurisdiction over the matter directing a disposition of the Escrow Funds.

1.2 Request for Registration.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 1.2, if the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) November 9, 2011 or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date of the Qualified Public Offering, a written request from the Holders of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (for purposes of this Section 1.2, the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $10,000,000, then the Company shall, within twenty (20) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 1.2, use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days of the mailing of the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section 1.2(a).
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a). In such event the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated (i) first to Holders of Registrable Securities issuable or issued under clauses (i) and (iii) of the definition of
3
“Registrable Securities,” pro rata according to the number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder, and (ii) second, to the remaining Holders of Registrable Securities pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders. In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such underwriting unless all other securities are first excluded. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act;
(ii) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;
(iii) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a Company initiated registration subject to Section 1.3 below, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(iv) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof; or
(v) if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered).
1.3 Company Registration.
(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for
4
stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder requests to be registered.
(b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof.
(c) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such offering unless all other stockholders’ securities have been first excluded. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated (i) first to Holders of Registrable Securities who hold Preferred Stock, pro rata according to the number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder and (ii) second, to the remaining Holders of Registrable Securities pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Company’s first firm commitment underwritten public offering of its Common Stock under the Act (the “Initial Offering”), in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding sentence and for purposes of
5
Section 1.2(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a venture capital fund, partnership or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds, partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such selling Holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
1.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from the Holders of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (for purposes of this Section 1.4, the “Initiating Holders”) a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company shall:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.4:
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $3,500,000;
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.4 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not include
6
substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered);
(iv) if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected one registration on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.4; or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.4 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.4(a). The provisions of Section 1.2(b) shall be applicable to such request (with the substitution of Section 1.4 for references to Section 1.2).
(d) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed; provided, however, that such 120 day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time that the Holders refrain from selling any securities included in such registration upon the request of the Company or the underwriters;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;
7
(d) use all commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering; and furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;
(f) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and the Company shall promptly either amend such prospectus or file a supplement, in compliance with state and federal securities laws, to correct such untrue statement of material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 1 to be listed on a national exchange or trading system and on each securities exchange and trading system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
(i) notify each Holder promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has become effective or a supplement of such registration has been filed;
(j) advise each Holder promptly after the Company shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC
8
suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order should such be issued; and
(k) make generally available to its security holders, and to deliver to the Holders an earnings statement of the Company (that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act) covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning after the effective date of the registration statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Act) as soon as is reasonably practicable after the termination of such twelve (12) month period and upon the request of a Holder.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1, the Company shall be entitled to suspend, for a reasonable period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days, the effectiveness or use of, or trading under, any registration statement if the Company shall determine that any such filing or the sale of any securities pursuant to such registration statement would in the good faith judgment of the Board:
(i) materially impede, delay or interfere with any material pending or proposed financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company for which the Board has authorized negotiations;
(ii) materially adversely impair the consummation of any pending or proposed material offering or sale of any class of securities by the Company; or
(iii) require disclosure of material nonpublic information that, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to the interests of the Company and its stockholders; provided, however, that during any such period all executive officers and directors of the Company are also prohibited from selling securities of the Company (or any security of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates).
(iv) In the event of the suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.5, the applicable time period during which such registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by that number of days equal to the number of days the effectiveness of such registration statement was suspended.
1.6 Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
1.7 Expenses of Registration. All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to

pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless, in the case of a registration requested under Section 1.2, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2 and provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Section 1.2 and 1.4.
1.8 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers, directors, partners, members and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, any other federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such registration statement a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any other federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, proceeding or settlement as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section l.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, proceeding or settlement if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, proceeding or settlement to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
10
registration by any such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person; provided further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or underwriter or other aforementioned person, or any person controlling such Holder or underwriter, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the most current prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or underwriter or other aforementioned person to such person, if required by law to have been so delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability and provided that the Company had made available such prospectus for delivery by such Holder or underwriter.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act, any other federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section l.9(b) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, proceeding or settlement as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section l.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, proceeding or settlement if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section l.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 of notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding or settlement (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any
11
such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.9 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute, subject to the limitations described in Sections 1.9(a) and 1.9(b), to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 1.9(b), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control; provided that should the underwriting agreement not address an aspect of indemnification and contribution contained in this Section 1.9, that shall not constitute a conflict for purposes of this Section 1.9(e).
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1 and otherwise.
1.10 Reports Under the 1934 Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the Qualified Public Offering;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
12
(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to avail any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
1.11 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities that (i) is a subsidiary, parent, partner, limited partner, retired partner or stockholder of a Holder, (ii) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, or (iii) after such assignment or transfer, holds at least 15,000,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or the like), provided: (A) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (B) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 1.13 below; and (C) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act.
1.12 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include any of such securities in any registration filed under Section 1.2, Section 1.3 or Section 1.4 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (b) to demand registration of their securities.
1.13 “Market Stand Off” Agreement”
(a) Each holder of equity securities of the Company that is a party to this Agreement (a “Company Stockholder”) hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed (a) one hundred eighty (l80) days (or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company shall require in order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711)) with respect to the Company’s Initial Offering and (b) ninety (90) days with respect to a Company underwritten offering other than the Initial Offering, (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any
13
option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for such offering, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.13 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Section 1.13 shall only be applicable to the Company Stockholders if all officers, directors and greater than one percent (1%) stockholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s Initial Offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 1.13 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Company Stockholder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the Company’s Initial Offering that are consistent with this Section 1.13 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements or this Section 1.13 by the Company or the underwriters shall apply to all holders of capital stock of the Company subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Company Stockholder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
(b) Each Company Stockholder agrees that a legend reading substantially as follows shall be placed on all certificates representing all Registrable Securities of each Company Stockholder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 1.13):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD OF UP TO 180 DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ISSUER’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE ACT, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
1.14 Participation in Initial Offering. Holders shall have the option to purchase, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder (assuming full conversion at the then effective conversion rate of all Preferred Stock), up to five percent (5%) of the shares sold in the Company’s Initial Offering (without giving effect to any over-allotment option of the underwriters of such Initial Offering), at the same price and on the same terms as the other participants such Initial Offering, net of any underwriters’ discount or
14
commission, provided, however, that such right shall not be available to any Holder whose Registrable Securities (or Registrable Securities held by any affiliate of such Holder) are to be registered in such Initial Offering pursuant to Section 1.3(a) hereof. If the Board, in its sole discretion, decides that such option of the Holders to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the Initial Offering is not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders or is otherwise inadvisable, in lieu of permitting the Holders to participate in the Initial Offering, the Company shall grant such Holders the option to purchase pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such Holder (assuming full conversion at the then effective conversion rate of all Preferred Stock), on the closing date of the Initial Offering, the number of shares equal to five percent (5%) of the shares sold in the Company’s Initial Offering in a private placement at the same price and on the same terms as the participants in the Initial Offering, net of any underwriters’ discount or commission. The option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the Company’s Initial Offering or in a private placement of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.3(d) shall be subject to, and limited by, the rules and regulations of the SEC governing such purchases.
1.15 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 (i) after five (5) years following the consummation of the Qualified Public Offering, (ii) as to any Holder, such earlier time after the Qualified Public Offering at which such Holder (A) can sell all shares held by it in compliance with Rule 144(k) or (B) holds one percent (1%) or less of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (together with any affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold in any three (3)-month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144 or (iii) when the Company shall sell, convey, or dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business or merge with or into or consolidate with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation) or effect any other transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company is disposed of, in each case in a transaction in which the Holders receive, or at such later time at which the Holders receive, cash, cash equivalents or Marketable Securities (as defined below) in consideration for the Registrable Securities held by them; provided that this Section 1.15 shall not cause the Holders’ registration rights to terminate following a merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Marketable Securities” means securities that are listed on a national securities exchange or listed on the NASDAQ National Market System and either (i) freely tradeable by the Holders under applicable securities laws on such exchange or system; or (ii) with respect to which the Holder has received registration rights materially similar to those provided under Section 1 of this Agreement.

(f) such other information relating to the financial condition, business or corporate affairs of the Company as the Investor may from time to time request, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 2.1(f) or any other subsection of Section 2.1 to provide information that it deems in good faith to be a trade secret or similar confidential information.

2.3 Termination of Information and Inspection Covenants. The covenants set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of the sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Act in connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the general public, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or (iii) the consummation of a Liquidation Event, as that term is defined in the Certificate.
16
2.4 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 2.4, the Company hereby grants to each Investor a right of first offer to purchase its pro rata portion of future sales by the Company of its Shares (as hereinafter defined). An Investor shall include any general partners and affiliates of an Investor. Investors shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself and its partners and affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of, its capital stock (“Shares”), the Company shall first make an offering to each Investor to purchase its pro rata portion of such Shares in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice in accordance with Section 3.5 (“Notices”) to the Investors stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to be offered and (iii) the price and terms upon which it proposes to offer such Shares.
(b) By written notification received by the Company within twenty (20) calendar days after the giving of Notice, each Investor may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, that portion of such Shares that equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock that are Registrable Securities issued and held by such Investor (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding). The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Investor that elects to purchase all the shares available to it (a “Fully-Exercising Investor”) of any other Investor’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after such information is given, each Investor that is a Fully-Exercising Investor may elect to purchase that portion of the Shares for which the Investors were entitled to subscribe, but which were not subscribed for by the Investors, that is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Registrable Securities issued and held by such Fully-Exercising Investor bears to the number of shares of Registrable Securities issued and held by all Investors that are Fully-Exercising Investors.
(c) If all Shares that Investors are entitled to obtain pursuant to Section 2.4(b) are not elected to be obtained as provided in Section 2.4(b) hereof, the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 2.4(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Shares to any person or persons at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those, specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within seventy-five (75) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Investors in accordance herewith.
17
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to (i) the issuance of Common Stock (or options therefor) to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers of this corporation for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services pursuant to plans or agreements approved by the Board, (ii) the issuance of securities pursuant to a Qualified Public Offering (as such term is defined in the Certificate), (iii) the issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding on the date hereof, (iv) the issuance of securities in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise, that is approved by the Board, (v) the issuance of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Merger Agreement, as such agreement may be amended from time to time, or the issuance of Series E Preferred Stock as contemplated by or referred to in the Merger Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules thereto, (vi) Common Stock issued to financial institutions, lessors, vendors and strategic partners in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings, commercial property lease transactions or other transactions approved by the Board up to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding securities of the Company (assuming the exercise and conversion into shares of Common Stock of all then outstanding exercisable and convertible securities of the Company), (vii) any Common Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock issued or issuable to VantagePoint (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement attached as an exhibit to the Merger Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”)) in connection with any equity or debt financing of the Company, up to $5,000,000, by VantagePoint pursuant to a commitment letter dated the date hereof between VantagePoint and the Company’s senior lender, which financing is consummated after the date hereof but on or before December 31, 2008, and (viii) any securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company that affects all outstanding capital stock of the Company. In addition to the foregoing, the right of first offer in this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable with respect to any Investor in any subsequent offering of Shares if (i) at the time of such offering, the Investor is not an “accredited investor,” as that term is then defined in Rule 501(a) of the Act and (ii) such offering of Shares is otherwise being offered only to accredited investors.
(e) The rights provided in this Section 2.4 may not be assigned or transferred by any Investor; provided, however, that (i) an Investor may assign or transfer such rights to any other entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Investor or any entity that is managed by the same joint management company of the Investor or any entity that is the general partner or limited partner of the Investors and (ii) a Investor that is a venture capital fund may assign or transfer such rights to an affiliated venture capital fund.
(f) The covenants set forth in this Section 2.4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the consummation of (i) the Company’s Qualified Public Offering (as such term is defined in the Certificate) or (ii) a Liquidation Event (as such term is defined in the Certificate).
2.5 Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreements. The Company shall require all employees to execute and deliver a Non-Disclosure and Invention Assignment Agreement in substantially the form approved by the Board.
18

In addition, immediately prior to any Initial Offering, the Company shall increase such coverage to at least $10,000,000.
2.9 Equal Board Treatment. Unless otherwise approved by the Board, including the approval of at least one VantagePoint Director affiliated with VantagePoint, all non-employee members of the Board shall be accorded no less favorable treatment than any other member of the Board with respect to all matters, including, without limitation, expense reimbursement, stock options or grants, benefits and access to Company information or management. Further, the Company shall reimburse all reasonable expenses incurred by each of the Company’s directors in connection with attending meetings of the Board.

(a) So long as the Barfly Preferred Stockholders hold at least 5,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to nominate one (1) Board observer (the “Board Observer”), who shall be one of the Barfly Stockholders or a representative of a Barfly Stockholder, and shall not be an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(b) A majority of the members of the Board present at a meeting of the Board shall have the right to exclude the Board Observer from portions of such meeting or to omit to provide the Board Observer with certain information if such members of the Board believe in good faith, based on the advice of Company counsel, that such exclusion or omission is necessary in order to (a) preserve the Company’s attorney-client privilege, or (b) fulfill the Company’s obligations with respect to confidential or proprietary information of third parties; provided, that the Board Observer shall not be so excluded unless all other persons whose receipt of such materials or presence at a meeting would result in a violation of such third party confidentiality obligations are also excluded. In addition, a majority of the members of the Board shall have the right to exclude the Board Observer from portions of meetings of the Board or to omit to provide the Board Observer with certain information if such meeting or information involves information or analysis which would pose a material conflict of interest for the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or otherwise.

3.8 Severability.

2. Agreements Among the Parties.
2.1 Rights of Refusal.
(a) Transfer Notice. If at any time a Stockholder proposes to Transfer Equity Securities (a “Selling Holder”), then unless such transfer is excluded under Section 2.4, the Selling Holder shall promptly give the Company and each Holder written notice of the Selling Holder’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”). The Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Equity Securities to be transferred (“Offered Shares”), (ii) the name(s) and address(es) of the prospective transferee(s), (iii) the consideration and (iv) the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Selling Holder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer. In the event that the transfer is being made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3, the Transfer Notice shall state under which specific subsection the Transfer is being made.
(b) Holders’ Right of First Refusal. (i) Each Holder shall have an option for a period of ten (10) days from the Delivery of the Transfer Notice as described in Section 2.1(a) to elect to purchase all or any portion of its respective pro rata share of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. Each Holder may exercise such purchase option and purchase all or any portion of his, her or its pro rata share of the Offered Shares (a “Participating Holder”), by notifying the Selling Holder and the Company in writing, before expiration of the ten (10) day period as to the number of such shares that he, she or it wishes to purchase (the “Participating
2
Holder Notice”). Each Holder’s pro rata share of the Offered Shares shall be a fraction of the Offered Shares, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock) owned by such Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock) held by all Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice.
(ii) This is hidden text do not erase In the event any Holder elects not to purchase its pro rata share of the Offered Shares available pursuant to its option under subsection 2.1(b)(i) within the time period set forth therein, then the Selling Holder shall promptly give written notice (the “Overallotment Notice”) to each Participating Holder, which notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Offered Shares that the other Holders have not elected to purchase, and shall offer the Participating Holders the right to acquire the unsubscribed shares. Each Participating Holder shall have five (5) days after Delivery of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to the Selling Holder (the “Participating Holders Overallotment Notice”) of its election to purchase its pro rata share of the unsubscribed shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice and indicating the maximum number of the unsubscribed shares that it will purchase in the event that any other Participating Holder elects not to purchase its pro rata share of the unsubscribed shares. For purposes of this Section 2.1(b)(ii), the numerator shall be the same as that used in Section 2.1(b)(i) above and the denominator shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock) owned by all Participating Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice. Each Participating Holder shall be entitled to apportion Offered Shares to be purchased among its partners and affiliates (including in the case of a venture capital fund other venture capital funds affiliated with such fund), provided that such Participating Holder notifies the Selling Holder of such allocation. If the Holders fail to purchase all of the Offered Shares by exercising the option granted in this Section 2.1(b) within the period provided, the remaining Offered Shares shall be subject to the options granted to the Company pursuant to subsection 2.1(d).
(c) Additional Transfer Notice. Subject to the Holders’ option set forth in Section 2.1(b), if at any time the Selling Holder proposes a Transfer, then, within five (5) days after the Holders have declined to purchase all, or a portion, of the Offered Shares or the Holders’ option to so purchase the Offered Shares has expired, the Selling Holder shall give the Company an “Additional Transfer Notice” that shall include all of the information and certifications required in a Transfer Notice and shall additionally identify the Offered Shares that the Holders have declined to purchase (the “Remaining Shares”) and briefly describe the Company’s rights of first refusal with respect to the proposed Transfer.
(d) Company’s Right of First Refusal. (i) The Company shall have an option for a period of ten (10) days from Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice to elect, by the approval of its Board of Directors, to purchase all (and not less than all) of the Remaining Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Additional Transfer Notice. The Company may exercise such purchase option and purchase all of the Offered Shares by notifying the Selling Holder in writing before expiration of such ten (10) day period. If the Company gives the Selling Holder notice that it desires to purchase such shares, then payment for the Remaining Shares shall be by certified check or wire transfer,
3
against delivery of the Remaining Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than thirty (30) days after Delivery to the Company of the Additional Transfer Notice, unless the Additional Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third-party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(ii), below.
(e) Payment. (i) The Participating Holders shall effect the purchase of all the Remaining Shares with payment by certified check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after Delivery to the Holders of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third-party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(ii), below.
(ii) This is hidden text Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice or Additional Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company and the Participating Holders shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such property. If the Selling Holder and the Company or Participating Holders cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after Delivery to the Holders of the Transfer Notice (or Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice to the Company), the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Selling Holder and the Company or the Participating Holders or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after Delivery to the Holders of the Transfer Notice (or Delivery of the Additional Transfer Notice to the Company), each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and those appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared between the Selling Holder, the Company, and the Participating Holders, with half of the cost borne by the Selling Holder and half the cost borne by the Participating Holders and the Company pro rata, as applicable, based on the number of shares such parties have expressed an interest in purchasing pursuant to this Section 2. Such appraisal will bind the Selling Holder, the Company, and the Participating Holders. If the time for the closing of the Company’s purchase or the Participating Holders’ purchase has expired but the determination of the value of the purchase price has not been finalized pursuant to this section, then such closing shall be held on or prior to the fifth business day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this subsection.
2.2 Rights of Co-Sale. (a) Each Holder (other than any Holder who is a Selling Holder) (a “Co-selling Holder”) that notifies the Company and the Selling Holder in writing within ten (10) days after Delivery of a Transfer Notice referred to in Section 2.1(a) shall have the right to participate in such sale of Equity Securities (including, without limitation, a sale of Equity Securities to a Holder or Holders pursuant to the Holders’ right of first refusal under Section 2.1(b)) on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice. Such Co-selling Holder’s notice to the Company and the Selling Holder shall indicate the maximum number of shares of capital stock of the Company that the Co-selling Holder wishes to sell (pursuant to Section 2.2(b), below) under his, her or its right to participate. To the extent one or more of the Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and
4
conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Equity Securities that the Selling Holder may sell in the Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Co-selling Holder’s Transfer of Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2 be deemed a Transfer to which the Company’s and the Holders’ rights of first refusal and co-sale shall apply. Any Holder electing to participate in a Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to have waived such Holder’s right of first refusal set forth in Section 2.1 with respect to the Transfer described in the aforementioned Transfer Notice.
(b) Each Co-selling Holder may sell all or any part of that number of shares of capital stock of the Company equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Equity Securities covered by the Transfer Notice that have not been subscribed for pursuant to Section 2.1 by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock) owned by the Co-selling Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock) owned by the Selling Holder and all of the Co-selling Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice.
(c) Each Co-selling Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Holder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer to the purchaser, which represent:
(i) if the Offered Shares are shares of Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Preferred Stock of the Company that such Co-selling Holder elects to sell; or
(ii) if the Offered Shares are shares of Common Stock, that number of shares of Common Stock, or such number of shares of capital stock of the Company that are at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock, that such Co-selling Holder elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective third-party purchaser objects to the delivery of shares of capital stock of the Company in lieu of Common Stock, such Co-selling Holder shall convert such shares of capital stock of the Company into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided in this Section 2.2. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser and contingent on such transfer.
(d) The stock certificate or certificates that the Co-selling Holder delivers to the selling Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.2(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Equity Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the selling Stockholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-selling Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-selling Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-selling Holder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Selling Holder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Equity Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Holder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-selling Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Transfer Notice.
5
2.3 Non-Exercise of Rights. To the extent that the Holders and the Company have not exercised their rights to purchase all of the Offered Shares or Remaining Shares, as the case may be, within the time periods specified in Section 2.1, and the Holders have not exercised their rights to participate in the sale of the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.2, the Selling Holder shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the expiration of such rights in which to sell the Offered Shares upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable than those specified in the Transfer Notice, to the third-party transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice. The third-party transferee(s) shall acquire the Offered Shares or Remaining Shares, as the case may be, free and clear of subsequent rights of first refusal and co-sale rights under this Agreement. In the event Selling Holder does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Offered Shares or Remaining Shares, as the case may be, within the forty-five (45) day period from the expiration of these rights, the Company’s first refusal rights and the Holders’ first refusal and co-sale rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares or Remaining Shares, as the case may be, by the Selling Holder until such right lapses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, the exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Company and Holders under this Section 2 to purchase Equity Securities from the Selling Holder or participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Selling Holder shall not adversely affect their rights to make subsequent purchases from the Selling Holder of Equity Securities or subsequently participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Selling Holder.
2.4 Limitations to Rights of Refusal and Co-Sale. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 and 2.2 of this Agreement, the first refusal and co-sale rights of the Holders and first refusal rights of the Company shall not apply to (a) in the case of a company, corporation or a partnership, the Transfer of Equity Securities to any members, shareholders or partners thereof (a member, shareholder or partner of a company, corporation or partnership that is a stockholder of the Company is referred to as an “Indirect Stockholder”) or to any entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with the transferor, (b) the Transfer of Equity Securities to any spouse or member of a Holder’s immediate family (as defined below), or to a custodian, trustee (including a trustee of a voting trust), executor, or other fiduciary for the account of the Holder’s or an Indirect Stockholder’s spouse or members of the Holder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the Holder’s or Indirect Stockholder’s own self, or a charitable remainder trust, or (c) any sale of Equity Securities to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; provided, however, that in the event of any transfer made pursuant to one of the exemptions provided by clauses (a), (b), or (c) the transferring Holder shall inform all other Holders and the Company in writing of such Transfer prior to effecting it and (ii) each such transferee or assignee, prior to the completion of the Transfer, shall have executed documents assuming the obligations of the transferring Holder under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Equity Securities. Except with respect to the Equity Securities transferred under clause (c) above (which Equity Securities shall no longer be subject to the first refusal rights of the Company and first refusal rights of the Holders), such transferred Equity Securities shall remain “Equity Securities” hereunder, and such pledgee, transferee or donee shall be treated as a “Holder” for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “Holder’s immediate family” shall include any spouse, father, mother, sibling, lineal descendant of spouse or lineal descendant of the Holder or of an Indirect Stockholder.
6
2.5 Prohibited Transfers. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or disposition of Equity Securities not made in conformance with this Agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company.
(a) In the event a Stockholder should sell any Equity Securities in contravention of the co-sale rights of the Holders under Section 2.2 (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the Holders, in addition to such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option provided below under subsection (b), and the Stockholder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.
(b) In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Holder shall have the right to sell to the Stockholder the type and number of shares of Equity Securities equal to the number of shares each Holder would have been entitled to transfer to the third-party transferee(s) under Section 2.2 hereof had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:
(i) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to the Stockholder shall be equal to the price per share paid by the third-party transferee(s) to the Stockholder in the Prohibited Transfer.

(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the later of the date on which the Holder (A) receives notice of the Prohibited Transfer or (B) otherwise becomes aware of the Prohibited Transfer, each Holder shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to the Stockholder the certificate or certificates representing shares to be sold, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.
(iii) The Stockholder shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates for the shares to be sold by a Holder pursuant to this Section 2.5, pay the aggregate purchase price therefor and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in subparagraph 2.5(b)(i), in cash or by other means acceptable to the Holder.
3. Assignments and Transfers; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of any third party. The rights of the Holders hereunder are only assignable (i) to any other Holder, (ii) to a partner, member or affiliate of such Holder (including, without limitation, affiliated venture capital funds of which such Holder is a partner or member) or (iii) to an assignee or transferee who acquires all of the Equity Securities held by a particular Holder or at least 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock).

COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such amendment or waiver adversely affects the obligations or rights of certain Stockholders under this Agreement in a different manner than the other Stockholders who have the same rights, such amendment or waiver shall also require the written consent of such adversely affected Stockholders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon all Holders and their respective successors and assigns.
11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of New York without reference to New York conflicts of law provisions.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 16 of the Voting Agreement, such agreement can be amended by the Company and VantagePoint CDP Partners, L.P. (“VantagePoint CDP”), as the holder of a majority of the shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock);
WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 26, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), between, among others, the Company and National Broadcast Media Corp., doing business as Barfly Interactive Networks (“Barfly”), it is a condition to the closing under the Merger Agreement that the Barfly Stockholders become parties to this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Vote. Each of the Stockholders hereby agrees to vote, whether at a regular or special meeting of the stockholders or by written consent, all shares of the capital stock of the Company now owned, held or hereafter acquired or received by him, her or it, or over which he, she or it exercises voting control, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
2. Board Size. The Stockholders shall vote at any regular or special meetings of stockholders (or by written consent) such shares that they own (or as to which they have voting power) to ensure that the size of the Board shall be set at seven (7); provided, however, that such Board size may be subsequently increased or decreased pursuant to an amendment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16 hereof.
3. Election of Directors.
(a) In any election of directors of the Company to elect the Series C Directors, the Parties holding shares of Series C Stock shall each vote at any regular or special meeting of stockholders (or by written consent) such number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then owned by them (or as to which they then have voting power) as may be necessary to elect four (4) directors nominated by VantagePoint CDP and its affiliates (collectively, “VantagePoint”) (at least one of whom shall not be affiliated with VantagePoint) for so long as VantagePoint owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock purchased by VantagePoint pursuant to the Purchase Agreement assuming full conversion at the then effective conversion rate of all shares of Preferred Stock owned by VantagePoint.
(b) In any election of the Remaining Directors, the Stockholders shall each vote at any regular or special meeting of stockholders (or by written consent) such number of voting securities of the Company then owned by them (or as to which they then have voting power) as may be necessary to elect the Remaining Directors as follows:
i. The then current Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO Director”);
ii. One director nominated by Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxx (the “Techno Exprès Director”), provided that Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxx own in the aggregate at least 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock;
iii. One person nominated and approved by a majority of the members of the Board then in office pursuant to subsections 3(a), 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) above, who is not affiliated with the Company or VantagePoint (the “Unaffiliated Director”).

For the purposes of this definition, control of an entity shall mean the power, direct or indirect, (x) to vote more than 50% of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such entity, or (y) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity whether by contract or otherwise.
2
4. Removal; Vacancies. Any director of the Company may be removed from the Board in the manner allowed by law and the Certificate and the Company’s Bylaws.

Each Stockholder further agrees to vote all of his, her or its shares of capital stock of the Company having voting power (and any other such shares over which he, she or it exercises voting control) in such manner as shall be necessary or appropriate to ensure that any vacancy on the Board occurring for any reason shall be filled only in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 above.
5. Bring Along Right. In the event that the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock in the Company (voting together as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) approve either (i) an acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) that would result in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of the Company or in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction would own, as a result of such transaction, less than a majority of the voting securities, in the same relative proportions, of the successor or surviving corporation immediately thereafter, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (such events described in subsections (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as a “Sale of the Company”), then each Stockholder hereby agrees with respect to all securities of the Company which it own(s) or otherwise exercises voting or dispositive authority:
(a) in the event such matter is to be brought to a vote at a stockholder meeting, after receiving proper notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Company to vote on the approval of a Sale of the Company, to be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of shares of voting securities, at all such meetings and be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings;
(b) to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all shares of the capital stock of the Company as to which it has beneficial ownership in favor of all matters requiring the vote of the Company’s stockholders in connection with such Sale of the Company and in opposition of any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company or Sale Event;
(c) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to a Sale of the Company;
(d) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company or Sale Event; and
(e) except for this Voting Agreement, neither any of the parties hereto nor any affiliates thereof shall deposit any shares of capital stock beneficially owned by such Party or affiliate in a voting trust or subject any such shares of capital stock to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares of capital stock.
3
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Sale of the Company, no Stockholder shall be required to vote in the manner described by this Section 5 unless the net proceeds of such Sale of the Company are to be distributed to stockholders of the Company in accordance with the Certificate.
6. Legend on Share Certificates. Each certificate representing any Preferred Shares or Common Shares for shares now owned or hereafter acquired by the Parties shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows:
“THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE ISSUER), AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SAID VOTING AGREEMENT.”
7. Covenants of the Company. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary, appropriate or reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities held by the Parties hereto (assuming conversion of all outstanding securities) in order to protect the rights of the Parties hereunder against impairment.
8. No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. Neither the Company, the Stockholders, nor any officer, director, stockholder, partner, employee or agent of any such Party, makes any representation or warranty as to the fitness or competence of the nominee of any Party hereunder to serve on the Board by virtue of such Party’s execution of this Agreement or by the act of such Party in voting for such nominee pursuant to this Agreement.
9. Grant of Proxy. Upon the failure of any Stockholder to vote its shares of capital stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Party hereby grants to the then current Secretary of the Company, a proxy coupled with an interest in all such shares of capital stock owned by such Party, which proxy shall be irrevocable until this Agreement terminates pursuant to its terms or this Section 9 is amended to remove such grant of proxy in accordance with Section 16 hereof, to vote all such shares of capital stock in the manner provided in Sections 2 and 3 hereof.
10. Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured Party for the breach of this Agreement by any other Party, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, and that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each Party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.

The parties hereto do hereby agree that neither the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the shares of capital stock of the Company to bear the legend required by Section 6 hereof nor the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement, as provided under this Section 11, shall affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.

5
Company and the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) then held by the Stockholders or their successors or assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) the provisions of Section 3(a) and the removal limitations set forth in Section 4 solely in regard to Section 3(a) may be amended and the observance of any term thereof may be waived only with the written consent of VantagePoint.
(b) so long as the beneficial owners of Techno Exprès, S.A. (Techno Exprès) who received Common Stock from Techno Exprès pursuant to its distribution shares of Common Stock in April 2007 continue to own, in the aggregate, at least 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar changes affecting the capital stock of the Company, the provisions of Section 3(b)(i) and the removal limitations set forth in Section 4 solely in regard to Section 3(b)(i) may be amended and the observance of any term thereof may be waived only with the written consent of such beneficial owners holding a majority of the shares of the Common Stock that were subject to such distribution.
(c) Any amendment or waiver so effected in accordance this Section 16 shall be binding upon all the Parties hereto.
17. Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to any of the Parties hereto (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or the like), such shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 6.
18. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
19. Binding Effect. In addition to any restriction on transfer that may be imposed by any other agreement by which any Party hereto may be bound, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties, their respective heirs, successors, transferees and assigns and to such additional individuals or entities that may become stockholders of the Company and that desire to become Parties hereto; provided that for any such transfer to be deemed effective, the transferee shall have executed and delivered an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Upon the execution and delivery of an Adoption Agreement by a transferee reasonably acceptable to the Company, such transferee shall be deemed to be a Party hereto as if such transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages hereto. By its execution hereof or any Adoption Agreement, each of the Parties hereto appoints the Company as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any Adoption Agreement which may be required to be delivered hereunder.
6
20. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof.

BETWEEN: | TOUCHTUNES MUSIC CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with an office at 000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx; | |
(hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”) | ||
AND: | XX. XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX, residing at 0000 | |

(hereinafter referred to as the “Executive”) |
IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS the Corporation has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 26, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between the Corporation, National Broadcast Media Corp., d/b/a Barfly Interactive Networks (“Barfly”), NMB Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx as Shareholders’ Representative;
WHEREAS the Corporation wishes to employ Executive, and Executive wishes to be employed by the Corporation.
WHEREAS separate and apart from the Corporation’s employment of Executive, the Merger Agreement provides for the exchange of Executive’s ownership interest in Barfly for an ownership interest in the Corporation;
NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements here contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | At Will Employment |
1.1 | The Corporation hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment with the Corporation, upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, on an “at-will” basis. This Agreement shall not be construed as an agreement, either expressed or implied, to employ Executive for any stated term. The employment relationship shall be freely terminable for any reason by either party at any time, subject to Section 9. This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which Executive’s employment with the Corporation begins, which the parties agree shall be [ ]. |
2. | Duties |
2.1. | The Corporation hereby confirms having agreed to engage Executive as a Senior Vice President of the Corporation for Barfly operations. Executive’s duties, responsibilities and authority shall be substantially similar to his duties, responsibilities and authority for the operations of Barfly prior to the Merger (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), recognizing that his position and title, however, will be as a Senior Vice President of the Corporation. In such capacity, Executive shall perform such duties and exercise such powers pertaining to such role for the Corporation and its affiliates as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation after the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement). |
2.2. | By his acceptance hereof, Executive agrees to devote substantially all of his working time, attention and skill to the Corporation and to make every reasonable effort necessary to promote the success of the Corporation’s business and perform adequately the duties that are assigned to him. Executive agrees to abide by the rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices and policies of the Corporation and any changes therein which may be adopted from time to time by the Corporation. |
3. | Reporting procedures |
3.1. | Executive shall report directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or such other person as designated by the Corporation from time to time. |
4. | Remuneration |
4.1. | The annual base salary payable to Executive for his services hereunder shall be U.S. $275,000 exclusive of bonuses, benefits and other compensation. The Executive’s base salary will be payable in periodic installments in accordance with the Corporation usual practice for its executives pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, less any deductions or withholdings required by law. |
The Corporation shall provide Executive with employee benefits comparable to those provided by the Corporation from time to time to other senior executives of the Corporation.
2
5. | Bonus |
5.1. | Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus, with the target bonus equal to 50% of his base salary. Such bonus shall be prorated for 2008. Such bonus will be based upon the achievement of performance objectives recommended by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and approved by the compensation committee of the Corporation. Any such bonus shall be payable within the guidelines set by the compensation committee of the Corporation. |
6. | Vacation |
6.1. | Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation per fiscal year of the Corporation. Should Executive decide not to or be unable because of his duties under this Agreement to take all the vacation to which he is entitled in any fiscal year, Executive shall be entitled to take up to one (1) week of such vacation in the next following fiscal year. |
7. | Expenses |
7.1. | Executive shall be reimbursed for all reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Executive from time to time in connection with carrying out his duties hereunder. For all such expenses, Executive shall furnish to the Corporation supporting evidence for expenses in respect of which Executive seeks reimbursement. |
7.2. | The Corporation shall also reimburse Executive for reasonable cost of training and professional development. |
7.3. | The Corporation shall provide Executive with adequate support and equipment to perform his duties. |
8. | Termination |
8.1. | This Agreement may be terminated, except for any continuing obligations hereunder set forth in Section 8.2: |
a. At any time, for Cause, by written notice from the Corporation to Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means cause for dismissal without either notice or payment in lieu of notice for reasons of fraud, embezzlement, gross negligence, willful and reckless disregard or gross dereliction of duty, incapacity or refusal to perform employment functions due to drug use or alcohol addiction, conviction of a felony, or serious breach of duty not corrected within thirty (30) days of notice to that effect and discriminatory employment practices governed by statute.
3
b. At any time, for Good Reason, by written notice from Executive to the Corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means if:
(i) the Corporation fails to pay Executive any compensation or benefits due under this Agreement and such failure is not be remedied within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Executive specifying such failure; (ii) the Corporation materially breaches any other material provision of this Agreement and such breach is not remedied within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of written notice from Executive specifying such breach; (iii) the Corporation requires Executive to relocate his principal place of employment to a location that is more than 25 miles from its current location; (iv) the Corporation reduces Executive’s base salary or (v) there is any diminution in Executive’s position, authority or duties.
c. Upon thirty (30) days’ notice in writing from Executive to the Corporation, specifying his intention to resign, in which event the Corporation shall only be obliged to pay Executive his annual base salary hereunder for such remaining part of the period specified in the notice from Executive, other than accrued vacation and any other amounts or benefits to which Executive was entitled as of and through the termination date, and the Corporation shall have no further obligations.
d. Immediately upon the death or permanent disability of Executive. Executive shall be deemed to have become permanently disabled in the event of any mental incapacity or physical disability of such severity that Executive shall have been unable to attend to any normal duties with the Corporation for more than nine (9) consecutive months in any year or for twelve (12) months out of any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months during the employment period.
8.2. | In the event of termination of Executive’s employment by the Corporation without Cause or Executive’s termination for Good Reason, the Corporation shall, subject to the Executive’s execution and delivery to the Corporation of a release and covenant not to xxx in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, pay Executive, for a period of six (6) months after the date of termination of Executive’s employment, Executive’s base salary as in effect on the date of termination, with such amount payable in accordance with normal and then current payroll practices of the Corporation. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment other than as set forth in the foregoing sentence, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments following termination, other than accrued salary, accrued vacation and any other amounts or benefits to which Executive was entitled as of and through the termination date. |
9. | Tax Considerations |
9.1. | This Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of any additional tax or accelerated income recognition prior to |
4
actual payment to or receipt by Executive of amounts or benefits hereunder pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and any temporary, proposed or final Treasury Regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, and the parties agree to cooperate with each other and to take reasonably necessary steps in this regard; provided however that no deemed amendment shall occur to the extent it would effect a material decrease in the value of benefits provided to Executive hereunder, in which case the parties shall cooperate in good faith to reform this Agreement both to preserve the value of the benefits intended to be provided to Executive hereunder and to avoid imposition of any additional tax or accelerated income recognition as a result of application of Section 409A. However, nothing in this Agreement imposes on the Corporation any liability of Executive under Section 409A. To the extent required by Section 409A, the reimbursement described in Sections 8 and 9 will not be paid later than December 31 of the second calendar year following the year in which Executive terminates employment. |

For purposes of this Employment Agreement, Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include: |
a. | Information that, at the time of disclosure under this Employment Agreement or during Executive’s employment, is in the public domain or that, after disclosure under this Employment Agreement or |

10.2. | This undertaking to respect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and to not make use of or disclose or discuss it to or with any person shall continue to have full effect notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment with the Corporation for a period of two (2) years following the date of such termination. |

6
Corporation, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for Executive’s own account or as an employee, officer, director, partner, joint venture, shareholder, investor, consultant or otherwise (except as an investor in a corporation whose stock is publicly traded and in which Executive holds less than 5% of the outstanding shares) engage in (i) (a) computer, video, personal digital assistant or cell phone interactive applications, (b) short message services (SMS) or point to point messaging services, or (c) digital signage or advertising and promotion, in the case of clause (a), (b) or (c), in (1) any restaurant or bar establishment, or (2) any establishment within a specific sub-sector of the retail or entertainment industries if the Corporation Group installs one or more of its products in such sub-sector (“Covered Establishments”), (ii) any business that develops, manufactures, or sells digital jukeboxes other than digital jukeboxes that utilize compact discs as the music source, (iii) any business that develops, manufactures, or sells to Covered Establishments interactive video multi-game amusement-only entertainment devices (other than devices marketed for personal use at home and in other non-public places) located on countertops and operated with a touch screen that operate wired or wirelessly, and directly or indirectly, accept payment via coins, paper money tokens, credit cards or other payment systems and may or may not be connected to a jukebox, or (iv) any other business or enterprise worldwide that competes with the business of the Corporation Group or that competes with any proposed business of the Corporation Group for which the Corporation has developed specific plans and is actively pursuing such plans during Executive’s employment with Corporation. |

13.3. | During the term of this Agreement or after termination, on request of the Corporation and at the cost and expense of the Corporation, Executive shall execute specific assignments in favor of the Corporation or nominees of any of the Inventions covered by this Section, as well as execute all papers and perform all lawful acts that the Corporation considers reasonably necessary or advisable for the preparation, prosecution, issuance, procurement and maintenance of patent or copyright applications and patents and copyrights for the Inventions, and for transfer of any interest Executive may have, and shall execute any and all papers and lawful documents required or necessary to vest title in the Corporation or its nominee in the Inventions. |
14. | Enforceability |
14.1. | Executive hereby confirms and agrees that the covenants and restrictions pertaining to Executive contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation those contained in Sections 11 to 15 hereof, are reasonable and valid. |
Without limiting the remedies available to the Corporation, Executive hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 11 to 15 may result in materially irreparable harm to the Corporation for which there is no adequate remedy at law; that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely, and that, in the event of such a breach, the Corporation shall be entitled to obtain any or all of a temporary restraining order and a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by the provisions of Sections 11 to 15 or such other relief as may be required to enforce specifically any of the covenants of Sections 11 to 15. Such proceedings shall not preclude the Corporation from claiming for damages that it has suffered.
15. | Return of Materials |
15.1. | All files, forms, brochures, books, materials, written correspondence, memoranda, documents, manuals, computer disks, software products and lists (including lists of customers, suppliers, products and prices) pertaining to the business of the Corporation Group or any of its associates that may come into the possession or control of Executive shall at all times remain the property of the Corporation Group or associate, as the case may be. On termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive agrees to |
8
deliver promptly to the Corporation all such property of the Corporation Group in the possession of Executive or directly or indirectly under the control of Executive. Executive agrees not to make for his personal or business use or that of any other party, reproductions or copies of any such property or other property of the Corporation Group. |
16. | Withholding |
16.1. | The Corporation may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state or local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. |
17. | Notices |
17.1. | All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or sent by overnight courier to the person and address set forth under each party’s name in the signature page hereof, or at such other address as the party to whom notice is to be given may have furnished to the other party in writing in accordance herewith. If such notice or communication is mailed, such communication shall be deemed to have been given on the fifth business day following the date on which such communication is posted. |
18. | Governing Law |
18.1. | To the extent not preempted by United States federal law, the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this provision to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. |
19. | Severability |
19.1. | It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, although Executive and the Corporation consider the restrictions contained in this Agreement to be reasonable for the purpose of preserving the Corporation’s goodwill and proprietary rights, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. |
9
20. | No assignment |
20.1. | This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Corporation may be merged or which may succeed to the Corporation’s assets or business; provided, however, that the obligations of the Executive are personal and shall not be assigned by him. |
21. | Survival of covenants |
21.1. | Insofar as any of the obligations contained in this Agreement are capable of surviving termination of this Agreement they shall so survive and continue to the Parties notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for whatsoever reason. |
22. | Complete understanding |
22.1. | Once signed, this Agreement replaces all prior written and/or oral agreements between Executive and the Corporation with regard to Executive’s terms of employment with the Corporation. This Agreement may not be modified orally, but only in an agreement in writing signed by both parties. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times. |
22.2. | This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement. |
23. | Legal advice |
23.1. | Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Corporation and acknowledges and agrees that he had the opportunity to seek and was not prevented nor discouraged by the Corporation from seeking independent legal advice prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and that, in the event that he did not avail himself of that opportunity prior to signing this Agreement, he did so voluntarily without any undue pressure and agrees that his failure to obtain independent legal advice shall not be used by him as a defense to the enforcement of his obligations under this Agreement. |

B. Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Preferred Stock are as set forth below in this Article IV(B).
1. Dividend Provisions.
(a) The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock of this corporation) on other Preferred Stock or Common Stock, at a rate of 8% per annum of the Original Issue Price (as hereafter defined) of the Series C Preferred Stock, payable only if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall not be cumulative. The holders of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock can waive any dividend preference that such holders shall be entitled to receive under this Section 1 upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
(b) After payment of any dividends required by subsection (a) of Section 1, any additional dividends or distributions shall be distributed among all holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be held by each such holder if all shares of Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock at the then effective conversion rate at the time such dividend or other distribution is declared.
2. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined below), either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds of such Liquidation Event legally available for distribution (the “Proceeds”) to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, as applicable, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series E Preferred Stock, Series
2
D-1 Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (a).
(b) Upon completion of the distribution required by subsection (a) of this Section 2, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of the Proceeds to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price for the Series B Preferred Stock plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (b).
(c) Upon completion of the distribution required by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2, all of the remaining Proceeds shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming full conversion at the then effective respective conversion rates of all Preferred Stock).
(d) For purposes of this Certificate, “Original Issue Price” shall mean $1.50 per share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, $1.4062 per share for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, $0.50 per share for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, $1.234317 per share for each share of Series D Preferred Stock, $1.10 per share for each share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock and $1.234317 per share for each share of Series E Preferred Stock (each as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such series of Preferred Stock occurring after the date of filing of this Certificate).
(e) (i) For purposes of this Section 2, a “Liquidation Event” shall include (A) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of this corporation’s assets, (B) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of this corporation with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of this corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of this corporation or the surviving or acquiring entity after such merger or consolidation) or (C) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation; provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Liquidation Event if its sole purpose is to change the state of this corporation’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held this corporation’s securities immediately prior to such transaction. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the issuance of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall not be deemed a “Liquidation Event.” The treatment of any particular transaction or series of related transactions as a Liquidation Event may be waived by the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
3
(ii) In any Liquidation Event, if Proceeds received by this corporation or its stockholders is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:
(A) Securities not subject to an investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:
(1) If traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq Global Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event;
(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; and
(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors of this corporation in good faith.
(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to an investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors of this corporation in good faith and pursuant to the General Corporation Law, with the involvement of a third-party appraiser if a majority of the Board of Directors determines that such involvement is necessary to address potential conflicts of interest.
(C) The foregoing methods for valuing non-cash consideration to be distributed in connection with a Liquidation Event shall, upon approval by the stockholders of the definitive agreements governing a Liquidation Event, be superseded by any determination of such value set forth in the definitive agreements governing such Liquidation Event.
(iii) In the event the requirements of this Section 2 are not complied with, this corporation shall forthwith either:
(A) cause the closing of such Liquidation Event to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with; or
(B) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in subsection 2(e)(iv) hereof.
4
(iv) This corporation shall give each holder of record of Common Stock and Preferred Stock written notice of such impending Liquidation Event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and this corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after this corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after this corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that subject to compliance with the General Corporation Law such periods may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the holders of Preferred Stock that represent a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
3. Redemption. The Preferred Stock is not redeemable.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for such series of stock by the applicable Conversion Price for such series of stock (the conversion rate for a series of Preferred Stock into Common Stock is referred to herein as the “Conversion Rate” for such series), determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. Upon the filing of this Certificate, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be $0.50, the Series B Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be $0.3125 the Series C Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be $0.50, the Series D Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be $1.234317, the Series D-1 Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be $1.10 and the Series E Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be $1.234317; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for each such series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection 4(d).
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate at the time in effect for such series of Preferred Stock, immediately upon the earlier of (i) the closing of this corporation’s sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the public offering price of which represents a market valuation of all this corporation’s outstanding stock of at least $250,000,000 and which offering generated in excess of $50,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds (a “Qualified Public Offering”) or (ii) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis). Upon an automatic conversion pursuant to this Section 4(b), all shares of Preferred Stock shall convert into shares of Common Stock.
5
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the capital stock of this corporation, and shall give written notice to this corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the persons entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. If the conversion is in connection with the automatic conversion provisions of subsection 4(b)(ii) above, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made on the conversion date described in the stockholder consent approving such conversion, and the persons entitled to receive shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
(d) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) (A) If this corporation shall issue, on or after the date upon which this Certificate is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Filing Date”), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, but greater than the Conversion Prices then in effect for the Series D-1 Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, the respective Conversion Prices for the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this subsection 4(d)(i)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to such issuance and the number of shares of Additional Stock that the aggregate consideration received by this corporation for such issuance would purchase at the Conversion Price applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock; and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to such issuance and the number of shares of such Additional Stock so issued.
6
(B) If this corporation shall issue, on or after the Filing Date, any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price applicable to the Series D-1 Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, but greater than the Conversion Price then in effect for the Series C Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series D-1 Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this subsection 4(d)(i)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to such issuance and the number of shares of Additional Stock that the aggregate consideration received by this corporation for such issuance would purchase at the Conversion Price applicable to the Series D-1 Preferred Stock; and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to such issuance and the number of shares of such Additional Stock so issued.
(C) If this corporation shall issue, on or after the Filing Date, any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the respective Conversion Prices for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this subsection 4(d)(i) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to such issuance and the number of shares of Additional Stock that the aggregate consideration received by this corporation for such issuance would purchase at the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock; and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to such issuance and the number of shares of such Additional Stock so issued.
(ii) No adjustment of the relevant Conversion Prices for the Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections (E)(3) and (E)(4), no adjustment of such Conversion Prices pursuant to this subsection 4(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the relevant Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. The provisions of this subsection 4(d)(i) shall be in effect until a Qualified Public Offering.
(iii) In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
7
(iv) In the case of the issuance of the Additional Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(v) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for purposes of determining the number of shares of Additional Stock issued and the consideration paid therefor:
(A) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)), if any, received by this corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(B) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by this corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by this corporation (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)).
(C) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the relevant Conversion Prices of the Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.

(I) Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock issued from time to time after the Filing Date.

(viii) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Filing Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Prices for the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(e) Other Distributions. In the event this corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 4(d)(iii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 4(e), the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of this corporation into which their shares of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of this corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
(f) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or in Section 2) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including
10
adjustment of the Conversion Prices then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalently as may be practicable.
(g) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to particular stockholders, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and this corporation shall pay in cash the fair market value of any fractional shares as of the time when entitlement to receive such fractions is determined. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Prices of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, this corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock, as applicable, at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Preferred Stock.
(h) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by this corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, this corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock and Common Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, and the amount and character of such dividend or distribution.
(i) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. This corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Stock, this corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate.
11
(j) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of this corporation.
(k) Waiver of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock.
5. (a) General Voting Rights. Except as provided by law or this Certificate, the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, each holder of Preferred Stock shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of this corporation, shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). On any matter for which a separate vote of a class or series of this corporation may be required by law (consistent with this corporation’s ability to define, state and express the voting powers of its capital stock in this Certificate) and notwithstanding the classification of this corporation’s stock described in Article IV (A) above, such required class or series vote shall be satisfied (i) in the case of a required class vote of the Preferred Stock of this corporation, by the vote of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock voting together as a single class, and (ii) in the case of a required series vote of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series D-1 Preferred Stock , by the vote of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock voting together as a single series.

The holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis) shall be entitled to elect any remaining directors of this corporation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(1) and 223(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law, any vacancy, including newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or amendment of this Certificate, and vacancies created by removal or resignation of a director, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold
12
office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced; provided, however, that where such vacancy occurs among the directors elected by the holders of a class or series of stock, the holders of shares of such class or series may override the Board of Directors’ action to fill such vacancy by (i) voting for their own designee to fill such vacancy at a meeting of this corporation’s stockholders or (ii) written consent, if the consenting stockholders hold a sufficient number of shares to elect their designee at a meeting of the stockholders. Any director may be removed during his or her term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by a majority of the holders of that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent.
7. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, this corporation shall not (including any subsidiary of this corporation) (by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise) without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock:
(a) authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any equity security (including any other security convertible into or exercisable for any such equity security) having a preference over, or being on a parity with, Series C Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation preference, liquidation multiple, voting, dividends or redemption;
(b) effect any transaction with an affiliate or a stockholder of this corporation; or
(c) amend this corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in a manner that alters or changes the rights, preferences or privileges of any series of Preferred Stock.
8. Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Preferred Stock, shall be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the shares so converted shall be cancelled and shall not be issuable by this corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in this corporation’s authorized capital stock.
C. Common Stock. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Common Stock are as set forth below in this Article IV(C).
1. Dividend Rights. Subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of this corporation legally available therefor, any dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

5. Shares. The Holder has good and marketable title to, and beneficially owns all of the shares of Capital Stock of Barfly listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Shares”). Other than the Shares, the Holder does not and will not own (or have the right to acquire) any shares of Capital Stock of Barfly, and as of the Closing Date, Holder will hold the Shares free and clear of all Liens, restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and state securities laws), rights of first refusal and any voting trust, proxy or other agreement or understanding (other than any agreement which will have been terminated or waived as of the Effective Time).
6. Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Holder, if it holds Capital Stock of Barfly, acknowledges, understands and agrees that, if it executes a Written Consent or otherwise votes in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement, it will not be entitled to appraisal rights under the Law of Texas or other Law in connection with the Merger.

9. Disclosure of Information. The Holder represents that it understands that the Company will offer each holder of Capital Stock of the Company who is not an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Regulation D of the Act or not a “U.S. Person” within Regulation S of the Act the opportunity to sell its Shares to the principal shareholder of the Company for a (i) cash payment of $0.25 per Share, or, (ii) in the case of Shares that such holder will receive upon the exercise of an Option, a cash payment in an amount equal to the number of Shares subject to such Option multiplied by the difference between $0.25 and the exercise price of such Option. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, accredited investors who hold Shares shall have the right to exchange their Shares not subject to any Options for shares of Parent Common Stock and/or Parent Series D Preferred Stock, and to exchange their Shares subject to an Option for a Roll-Over Option. The Holder acknowledges that such exchange could have a future value greater or less than such cash payment. The Holder further represents that it has received a copy of the Confidential Information Statement, dated August 26, 2008, prepared by the Company, and has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Merger and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and Parent.
10. Restricted Securities.

(b) Any legend set forth in the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement.
(c) Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Capital Stock of TouchTunes represented by the certificate so legended.

(Release for Cashed Out Options)
National Broadcast Media Corp. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Option Termination and Release
The undersigned, (“Grantee”), is the holder of a stock option (the “Option”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of National Broadcast Media Corp., a Texas corporation doing business as Barfly Interactive Networks (the “Company”), having received such Option under the National Broadcast Media Corp. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and evidenced by a Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement between the Company and the undersigned.
In connection with the proposed merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of TouchTunes Music Corporation into the Company (the “Merger”) whereby the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of TouchTunes Music Corporation, the Plan will be terminated and all options issued thereunder cancelled. The Grantee confirms that he or she does not qualify as an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and as such will not be permitted by the Company to exercise the Option and participate as a shareholder in the Merger. Grantee acknowledges receipt of the Confidential Information Statement dated as of August 26, 2008, from the Company providing detailed information regarding the Merger, TouchTunes Corporation (“TouchTunes”), NBM Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and the Company sufficient to allow Grantee independently to evaluate his or her financial and legal position with respect to the Options and this Termination and Release. Grantee has had an opportunity to review the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 26, 2008, which is attached as Annex I to the Confidential Information Statement and to meet with management of the Company to ask questions as appropriate to obtain sufficient information.
In consideration of Grantee’s receipt from the Company of a Company check for good and valid funds payable to Grantee in the amount of $ (the “Payment Check”) which amount has been calculated by multiplying the number of shares subject to the Option by $0.23, which is the difference between $0.25 (the fair value of one share of Common Stock on the date hereof as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) and $0.02 (the exercise price per share of the Option), Grantee hereby consents and agrees with the Company as follows:
(1) The Option is hereby surrendered to the Company for termination, and Grantee hereby undertakes to deliver to the Company the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement evidencing the Option (the “Option Agreement”) but regardless of whether the Option Agreement is delivered to or received by the Company, the Option and the Option Agreement are hereby terminated and of no further force or effect;
(2) For good and valuable consideration, including the Payment Check, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Grantee, on behalf of himself or herself and Grantee’s successors and assigns, irrevocably, unconditionally and completely releases, acquits and forever discharges TouchTunes, Merger Sub and the Company, each of their respective affiliates, and the successors and past, present and future assigns and legal, financial, internal and independent accounting and other advisors and representatives of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Subject Parties”) from any past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action or cause of action of every kind and nature, including any unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed claim or any claim or right that may be asserted or exercised by Grantee in Grantee’s capacity as an option holder of, or as a consultant or advisor to, Company, as the case may be (each, a “Claim”), and irrevocably, unconditionally and completely waives and relinquishes each and every Claim that Grantee may have had in the past, may now have or may have in the future against any of the Subject Parties, relating to any contract, understanding or arrangement entered into, and any events, matters, causes, things, acts, omissions or conduct, occurring or existing, at
1
any time on or prior to the date of this agreement. The release in this paragraph shall be effective as of the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”). In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated without the Merger having been consummated, the release in this paragraph shall not take effect.
(3) Grantee, on behalf of himself or herself and Grantee’s successors and assigns, covenants not to xxx any Subject Party with respect to any Claims that Grantee has had, now has or may have at any future time by reason of any cause, matter or thing whatsoever, directly or indirectly, related to any action taken or omitted to be taken by any or all of the Subject Parties, at any time on or prior to the Closing. The covenant not to xxx in this paragraph shall be effective as of the Closing. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated without the Merger having been consummated, the covenant not to xxx in this paragraph (3) shall not take effect.
(4) Immediately prior to his or her execution of this agreement, Grantee has good and valid title to, and beneficially owns all right, title and interest in and to, the Option, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, adverse interests, pledges, security interests and other restrictions. Upon Grantee’s receipt of the Payment Check, Grantee acknowledges and confirms that Grantee shall cease to own (or have the right to acquire) the Option, or any other options or rights to purchase capital stock of the Company or any shares of capital stock of the Company.
(5) In deciding to execute this agreement, Grantee has relied entirely upon his or her own judgment, has read this agreement and the Confidential Information Statement dated August 26, 2008 (a copy of which has been previously delivered to Grantee) and has had adequate time to consider the terms and effects of this agreement and the disclosures set forth in the Confidential Information Statement and to ask any questions that Grantor may have of the officers and other representatives of the Company, and Grantee has executed this agreement voluntarily and with full understanding of its terms and its effects, and no fact, evidence, event or transaction currently unknown to Grantee but which may later become known to Grantee will affect in any way or manner the final and unconditional nature of this agreement. Grantee acknowledges that he or she has had the opportunity to consult with his or her own legal counsel in connection with the review, execution and delivery of this agreement.
(6) This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas. In the event that any provision of this agreement or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent hereof. Any such void or unenforceable provision of this agreement shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
