(e) At the Closing, (i) Buyer shall pay and/or deliver to the Company, cash in the amount equal to the aggregate Option Payments payable in cash at Closing as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Company Options Cash-Out Amount”). Buyer shall cause the Company to pay the Company Options Cash-Out Amounts to the former holders of Company Options as soon as practicable following the Closing, but in all cases no later than the completion of the first payroll cycle following the Closing. Any such payment shall be less any withholding required by Applicable Law.

(f) Within five Business Days following August 15, 2012 (the “First Holdback Payment Date”), Buyer shall pay (i) to each Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as each Seller shall have designated on Schedule I (which wire instructions may be updated by providing written notice to the Buyer at least ten Business Days prior to the First Holdback Payment Date), that portion of the First Holdback Payment Amount allocable to such Seller based on the Holdback Percentage applicable to such Seller as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto and (ii) to the Company, the sum of (A) that portion of the First Holdback Payment Amount allocable to all Management Employees and Non-management Employees based on the Holdback Percentage applicable to each such person as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, plus (B) subject to Section 2.01(i), the aggregate First Holdback Bonus Amount, such amounts less withholding required by Applicable Law, through a payroll payment as soon as practicable following the First Holdback Payment Date, but no later than the completion of the first payroll cycle following the First Holdback Payment Date. In addition, within five Business Days following the resolution and full satisfaction of any Unsettled Claim reserved against any First Holdback Payment Amount, Buyer shall pay the amount (if any) by which the portion of such Unsettled Claim amount previously retained by Buyer exceeds the amount of the ultimate indemnification amount paid or payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party for such claim pursuant to Article 6 hereof, if any; such subsequent payment(s) shall be made by Buyer to the Sellers and/or to the Company (for distribution first to the Holdback Bonus Recipients for any unpaid portion of the First Holdback Bonus Amount, then to Management Employees and Non-management Employees) in each case, in the same allocation and manner as set forth in the preceding sentence.

(g) Within five Business Days following August 15, 2013 (the “Second Holdback Payment Date”), Buyer shall pay (i) to each Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as each Seller shall have designated on Schedule I (which wire instructions may be updated by providing written notice to the Buyer at least ten Business Days prior to the Second Holdback Payment Date), that portion of the Second Holdback Payment Amount allocable to such Seller based on the Holdback Percentage applicable to such Seller as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto and (ii) to the Company, the sum of (A) that portion of the Second Holdback Payment Amount allocable to all Management Employees and Non-Management Employees based on the Holdback Percentage applicable to each such person as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, plus (B) subject to Section 2.01(i), the aggregate First Holdback Bonus Amount previously accrued and not paid (if any) and the Second Holdback Bonus Amount, such amounts less withholding required by Applicable Law, through a payroll payment as soon as practicable following the Second Holdback Payment Date, but no later than the completion of the first payroll cycle following the Second Holdback Payment Date. In addition, within five Business Days following the resolution and full satisfaction of any Unsettled Claim reserved against any Second Holdback Payment Amount, Buyer shall pay the

amount (if any) by which the portion of such Unsettled Claim amount previously retained by Buyer exceeds the amount of the ultimate indemnification amount paid or payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party for such claim pursuant to Article 6 hereof, if any; such subsequent payment(s) shall be made by Buyer to the Sellers and/or to the Company (for distribution first to the Holdback Bonus Recipients for any unpaid portion of the Holdback Bonus Amounts, then to Management Employees and Non-management Employees) in each case, in the same allocation and manner as set forth in the preceding sentence.

(h) Within five Business Days following August 15, 2014 (the “Third Holdback Payment Date”), Buyer shall pay (i) to each Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as each Seller shall have designated on Schedule I (which wire instructions may be updated by providing written notice to the Buyer at least ten Business Days prior to the Third Holdback Payment Date), that portion of the Third Holdback Payment Amount allocable to such Seller based on the Holdback Percentage applicable to such Seller as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto and (ii) to the Company, the sum of (A) that portion of the Third Holdback Payment Amount allocable to all Management Employees and Non-management Employees based on the Holdback Percentage applicable to each such person as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, plus (B) subject to Section 2.01(i), the aggregate First Holdback Bonus Amount and Second Holdback Bonus Amount previously accrued and not paid (if any), such amounts, less withholding required by Applicable Law, through a payroll payment as soon as practicable following the Third Holdback Payment Date, but no later than the completion of the first payroll cycle following the Third Holdback Payment Date. In addition, within five Business Days following the resolution and full satisfaction of any Unsettled Claim reserved against any Third Holdback Payment Amount, Buyer shall pay the amount (if any) by which the portion of such Unsettled Claim amount previously retained by Buyer exceeds the amount of the ultimate indemnification amount paid or payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party for such claim pursuant to Article 6 hereof, if any; such subsequent payment(s) shall be made by Buyer to the Sellers and/or to the Company (for distribution first to the Holdback Bonus Recipients for any unpaid portion of the Holdback Bonus Amounts, then to Management Employees and Non-management Employees) in each case, in the same allocation and manner as set forth in the preceding sentence.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Holdback Funds eligible for any distribution pursuant to this Section 2.01 (as adjusted for any indemnification claim, Unsettled Claim or Final Working Capital Shortfall (if any)) (the “Net Holdback Payment”) is zero, then the Holdback Bonus Amount payable in connection with such distribution shall paid at the next distribution permitted pursuant to this Section 2.01 (such Holdback Bonus Amount to be accrued without interest) and (ii) if the Net Holdback Payment is greater than zero but less than the Holdback Bonus Amount payable in connection with such distribution (including any accrued portion of any prior Holdback Bonus Amount not paid in full), then (A) an amount equal to such Net Holdback Payment shall be paid to the Company for distribution to the applicable Holdback Bonus Recipients pursuant to this Section 2.01; provided that such Holdback Bonus Recipients shall be paid an amount equal to (1) the Holdback Bonus Amount to which they would be otherwise entitled from such distribution (including any accrued portion of any prior Holdback Bonus Amount (without interest) not paid in full) times (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Holdback Bonus Amount to which they would be otherwise entitled from such distribution (including any accrued portion of any prior Holdback Bonus Amount (without

interest) not paid in full) and the denominator of which is the Holdback Bonus Amount to which all Holdback Bonus Recipients would be otherwise entitled from such distribution (including any accrued portion of all prior Holdback Bonus Amount (without interest) not paid in full) and (B) the remaining Holdback Bonus Amount payable in connection with such distribution shall be paid at the next distribution permitted pursuant to this Section 2.01 (such Holdback Bonus Amount to be accrued without interest).

Section 2.02 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and delivery obligations of the parties set forth herein (the “Closing Date”); provided that the Closing may take place by exchange of copies of executed documents by facsimile or email transmission. At the Closing:

(a) Buyer shall deliver to each Seller, pursuant to the Closing Payment allocation set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, cash representing such Seller’s pro-rata portion of the Closing Payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the applicable accounts set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

(b) Buyer shall deliver to Sellers’ Representative $25,000 for deposit in the Expense Escrow Account, delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds and in accordance with the instructions provided by Sellers’ Representative.

(c) Buyer shall deliver to the Company the cash portion of the Company Options Cash-Out Amount, to be held by the Company until distributed in accordance with Section 2.01(e).

(d) Each Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer:

(i) certificate(s) for the Shares held by such Seller duly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank, with any required transfer stamps affixed thereto;

(ii) evidence satisfactory to Buyer, including without limitation, executed resolutions of the Company’s board of directors, in a form acceptable to Buyer, of termination of the Company’s 401(k) Plan;

(iii) all necessary forms and certificates complying with Applicable Law, duly executed and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, certifying that the transactions contemplated hereby are exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of the Code;

(iv) evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the board of directors of the Company and each Seller; and

(v) written resignations of each officer and director of the Company, effective as of the Closing Date.

Section 2.03 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) calendar days, after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to Sellers’ Representative a certificate setting forth Buyer’s calculation of Closing Current Assets and Closing Current Liabilities (the “Buyer Working Capital Certificate”). The Buyer Working Capital Certificate shall be based on the Buyer’s preparation of the Company’s balance sheet as of the Closing Date, which shall fairly present the financial position of the Company at the close of business on the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The parties hereby agree that Buyer’s review and preparation of the Buyer Working Capital Certificate shall reflect the agreement among the parties that the Company’s loan origination system contracts with third parties since July 1, 2011 shall be in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice reflected in Schedule 2.03(a) attached hereto (and to the extent not contracted to such standard, an appropriate adjustment, as set forth in Schedule 2.03, may be reflected in the Buyer Working Capital Certificate).

(b) If Sellers’ Representative disagrees with Buyer’s calculation of Closing Current Assets or Closing Current Liabilities delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a), Sellers’ Representative may, within fifteen (15) calendar days after delivery of the Buyer Working Capital Certificate, deliver a notice to Buyer disagreeing with such calculation and providing Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of such amounts contained therein and specifying, in reasonable detail, Sellers’ Representative’s grounds for such disagreement (“Seller Dispute Notice”). Any Seller Dispute Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which Sellers’ Representative disagrees, and Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet, the Buyer Working Capital Certificate, and the calculation of Closing Current Assets and Closing Current Liabilities delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a).

(c) If a Seller Dispute Notice shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b), Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall, during the fifteen (15) calendar days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the quotient of the Closing Current Assets divided by the Closing Current Liabilities, which amount shall not be less than the amount of the same quotient calculated using the amount of the Closing Current Assets and Closing Current Liabilities shown in Buyer’s calculations delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a) nor more than the amount of the same quotient calculated using the amount of the Closing Current Assets and Closing Current Liabilities shown in Sellers’ Representative’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b). If Buyer and Sellers’ Representative are unable to reach such agreement during such period, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Neutral Arbiter promptly to review the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Current Assets and Closing Current Liabilities in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In making such calculation, such independent accounting firm shall consider only those items or amounts in Buyer’s calculation of Closing Current Assets or Closing Current Liabilities as to which Sellers’ Representative has disagreed. Such independent accountants shall deliver to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth such calculation, which shall be either consistent with the position of Buyer or the position of Sellers’ Representative or between the positions of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative. Such report shall

be final and binding upon Buyer, Sellers and Sellers’ Representative. The cost of such review and report shall be borne by the party whose position represents the greater difference from that of the final report and calculation of the independent accountant pursuant to the terms set forth above.

(d) Buyer and Sellers agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants to, cooperate and assist in the calculation of Closing Current Assets and Closing Current Liabilities and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 2.03, including making available to the extent necessary books, records, work papers and personnel.

Section 2.04 Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) If the amount of the Final Current Assets is less than Final Current Liabilities times 1.25 (the “Final Current Assets Target”), Holdback Participants shall pay to Buyer, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in the manner as provided in this Section 2.04, the amount of such difference (the “Final Working Capital Shortfall”). If the amount of the Final Current Assets exceeds the Final Current Assets Target, Buyer shall pay to Holdback Participants, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in the manner as provided in this Section 2.04, the amount of such excess (the “Final Working Capital Excess”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be adjusted so as to account for any prior adjustment to the Purchase Price made pursuant to Section 2.01(b) (including the amount and recipient party thereof) such that the net effect of all adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and this Section 2.04(a) ultimately reflect the aggregate adjustment required by this Section 2.04(a). “Final Current Assets” and “Final Current Liabilities” means the respective Closing Current Assets and Closing Current Liabilities (i) as shown in Buyer’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a), if no Seller Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b), or, (ii) if a Seller Dispute Notice is delivered, (A) as agreed by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.03(c) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the independent accounting firm’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(c); provided that (i) in no event shall Final Current Assets be less than Buyer’s calculation of Closing Current Assets delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or more than Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of Closing Current Assets delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b) and (ii) in no event shall Final Current Liabilities be more than Buyer’s calculation of Closing Current Liabilities delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or less than Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of Closing Current Liabilities delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b).

(b) If an adjustment in favor of Buyer pursuant to Section 2.04(a) is required, Buyer shall offset such adjustment on a dollar-for-dollar basis by reducing the Holdback Funds by an amount equal to such Final Working Capital Shortfall. The Holdback Funds shall be the sole recourse of the Buyer to be indemnified for such adjustment. If an adjustment in favor of the Holdback Participants pursuant to Section 2.04(a) is required, Buyer shall pay to (i) the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as each Seller shall have designated on Schedule I attached hereto that portion of the Final Working Capital Excess allocable to each such Seller based on the applicable Holdback Percentages for each such Seller, within two (2) Business Days after the date on which the Final Working Capital Excess has been determined (the “Working Capital Payment Date”), (ii) the Company, that portion of the Final Working Capital Excess allocable to all Management Employees and Non-management

Employees based on the applicable Holdback Percentages for each such person as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, less withholding required by Applicable Law, through a payroll payment as soon as practicable following the Working Capital Payment Date, but no later than the completion of the first payroll cycle following the Working Capital Payment Date.

Section 2.05 Withholding. Each of Buyer and the Company (on behalf of Buyer) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Seller or any other Person such amounts as each of Buyer and the Company is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any Tax law of a jurisdiction located within the United States, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. To the extent applicable, the Buyer and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect IRS Form W-9 and such other forms or certificates as reasonably necessary to reduce or eliminate any such withholding.

Section 2.06 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) In order to efficiently administer certain matters contemplated hereby following the Closing, including, but not limited to, the defense or settlement of any claims for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article 6, Holdback Participants, by the adoption of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have designated Sellers’ Representative to carry out their obligations and enforce their rights pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of Holdback Participants as set forth in this Section 2.06.

(b) In the event Sellers’ Representative dies, becomes unable to perform his/her/its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, Sellers whose aggregate Holdback Percentage, when expressed as a percentage exceeds, 50% shall be authorized to and shall select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Sellers’ Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the documents delivered pursuant hereto.

(c) By their adoption of this Agreement, Holdback Participants shall be deemed to have agreed, in addition to the foregoing, that:

(i) Sellers’ Representative shall be appointed and constituted the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Holdback Participant, with full power in his, her or its name and on his, her or its behalf to act according to the terms of this Agreement and in general to do all things and to perform all acts including, without limitation, executing and delivering any agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions, notices or instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable in connection with this Agreement. Sellers’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment;

(ii) Sellers’ Representative shall have full authority to (A) execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of Holdback Participants (in the name of any or all Holdback Participants or otherwise) any and all documents that Sellers’ Representative may, in his sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as Sellers’ Representative may, in his sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, (B) give and receive notices and other communications relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent that this Agreement contemplates that such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Seller individually), (C) take or refrain from taking any actions (whether by negotiation, settlement, litigation or otherwise) to resolve or settle all matters and disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (D) engage attorneys, accountants, financial and other advisors, paying agents and other persons necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Sellers’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing;

(iii) Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions given or made by Sellers’ Representative as to any of the matters described in this Section 2.06, and no party shall have any cause of action against Buyer for any action taken by Buyer in reliance upon any such instructions or decisions;

(iv) all actions, decisions and instructions of Sellers’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon each Seller, and no Seller shall have any cause of action against Sellers’ Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful breach of this Agreement on the part of Sellers’ Representative;

(v) no Holdback Participant shall have any cause of action against Sellers’ Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful breach of this Agreement on the part of Sellers’ Representative;

(vi) the provisions of this Section 2.06 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Seller may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(vii) the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives successors and assigns of each Holdback Participant, and any references in this Agreement to a Holdback Participant or Holdback Participants shall mean and include the successors to Holdback Participants’ rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

(d) As between Holdback Participants and Sellers’ Representative, Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Sellers’ Representative while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted to be done pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. Holdback Participants on whose behalf the Holdback Amount is to be delivered shall indemnify Sellers’ Representative and hold Sellers’ Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without

gross negligence or bad faith on the part of Sellers’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by Sellers’ Representative (“Sellers’ Representative Expenses”). Following the termination of the Indemnity Period, the resolution and satisfaction of all claims made by Indemnified Parties under Article 6, Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to recover Sellers’ Representative Expenses not otherwise reimbursed from the Expense Escrow Account from the Holdback Funds concurrently with any distribution to Holdback Participants.

(e) At the Closing, Buyer will deposit $25,000 (as a deduction from the Closing Payment otherwise payable to Sellers and Management Employees) (the “Expense Escrow Amount”) into an escrow account (the “Expense Escrow Account”) maintained by an escrow agent (the “Expense Escrow Agent”) determined by Sellers’ Representative without any act of Holdback Participants. Such Expense Escrow Account shall be governed by an escrow agreement to be executed by the Expense Escrow Agent and Sellers’ Representative (the “Expense Escrow Agreement”). Sellers’ Representative may use the funds in the Expense Escrow Account to pay any Sellers’ Representative Expenses. Any Expense Escrow Amount remaining after payment of all Sellers’ Representative Expenses following the resolution of all indemnification claims under Article 6 and/or the determination by Sellers’ Representative that such funds or a portion thereof are no longer necessary in connection with indemnification claims that may be brought hereunder, shall be distributed to Sellers in accordance with the Expense Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that at any time, and from time to time, in the sole discretion of Sellers’ Representative, any or all of the Expense Escrow Amount may be earlier distributed to Holdback Participants. All matters relating to the Expense Escrow Account, to the extent not referred to in this Agreement, shall be governed by the Expense Escrow Agreement, provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Expense Escrow Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling. The Expense Escrow Account shall not be used for any purposes other than as set forth in this Section 2.06(e) and shall not be available to Buyer or any Person to satisfy any claims hereunder.

Such plans are referred to collectively herein as the “Employee Plans.” Copies of all documents constituting each Employee Plan (or a written summary thereof with respect to any Employee Plan which has not been documented in writing), all related trust or funding agreements or insurance policies, all amendments and modifications thereto, all determination or opinion letters related thereto and all written interpretations thereof have been furnished to Buyer together with the three (3) most recent annual reports (Form 5500 including, if applicable, Schedule B thereto) and tax return (Form 990) prepared in connection with any such plan or trust. No material change has occurred with respect to the matters covered by the most recent annual report since the date hereof.

(b) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate of the Company has ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in, or contributed to, any “employee pension benefit plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA subject to Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate of the Company has (i) engaged in, or is a successor or parent corporation to an entity that has engaged in, a transaction described in Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA or (ii) incurred, or reasonably expects to incur prior to the Closing Date, (A) any liability under Title IV of ERISA arising in connection with the termination of, or a complete or partial withdrawal from, any plan covered or previously covered by Title IV of ERISA or (B) any liability under Section 4971 of the Code that in either case could become a liability of the Company or Buyer or any of its ERISA Affiliates after the Closing Date. The Company has not participated in a violation of Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA by any plan fiduciary of any Employee Plan, and the Company has not been assessed any civil penalty under Section 502(l) of ERISA.

(c) None of the Company, any ERISA Affiliate of the Company and any predecessor thereof contributes to, or has in the past contributed to, any multiemployer plan, as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multiemployer Plan”). Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has at any time ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in or contributed to any multiple employer plan or to any plan described in Section 413 of the Code.

(d) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in or contributed to any self-insured plan that provides benefits to employees (including any such plan pursuant to which a stop-loss policy or contract applies).

(e) Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and has received a favorable determination letter (or is entitled to rely upon an opinion letter) and the Company is not aware of any reason why any such determination letter (or opinion letter) could be revoked or not reissued. Each Employee Plan has been maintained in material compliance with its terms and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including ERISA and the Code, which are

applicable to such Employee Plan. No material events have occurred with respect to any Employee Plan that could result in payment or assessment by or against the Company of any material excise taxes under Sections 4972, 4975, 4976, 4977, 4979, 4980B, 4980D, 4980E or 5000 of the Code.

(f) The Company has no current or projected liability in respect of post employment or post retirement health, medical or life insurance or other employee welfare benefits for retired, former or current employees of the Company, except as required to avoid excise tax under Section 4980B of the Code or similar state law, and neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate of the Company has ever represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any employee (either individually or to the employees as a group) or any other Person that such employees or other Person would be provided with life insurance, health, medical or other employee welfare benefits, except to the extent required by Applicable Law.

(g) No condition exists that would prevent the Company from amending or terminating any Employee Plan in accordance with its terms, without liability to Buyer, the Company or any ERISA Affiliate of Buyer or the Company (other than ordinary administrative expenses).

(h) All contributions and payments accrued under each Employee Plan, determined in accordance with prior funding and accrual practices, as adjusted to include proportional accruals for the period ending on the Closing Date, will be discharged and paid on or prior to the Closing Date. There has been no amendment to, written interpretation of or announcement (whether or not written) by Sellers or the Company relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Employee Plan that would increase materially the expense of maintaining such Employee Plan above the level of the expense incurred in respect thereof for the most recent fiscal year ended prior to the date hereof.

(i) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (either alone or together with any other event, including a subsequent termination of employment or service) entitle any current or former employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company to severance pay or accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment of funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any Employee Plan (including any acceleration of vesting with respect to a Company Option or award of Company Restricted Stock as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any termination of employment in connection therewith). No payment or benefit (including vesting of Company Options and Company Restricted Stock) that has been or could be received by any current or former employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company will, or could reasonably be expected to, give rise directly or indirectly to the payment of any amount that would be characterized as a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code. There is no contract, plan, agreement or arrangement by which the Company is bound to compensate any employee for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code.

(j) There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by the Company to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or directors of the Company.

(k) There is no action, suit, investigation, audit or proceeding pending against or involving or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against or involving any Employee Plan before any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority. To the Knowledge of the Company, no facts or circumstances exist which could give rise to any such actions, suits, investigations, audits or proceedings. No event has occurred and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no condition exists that would subject the Company, either directly or by reason of its affiliation with any ERISA Affiliate of the Company, to any material tax, fine or penalty imposed by ERISA, the Code or other Applicable Laws.

(l) There are no “nonqualified deferred compensation plans” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) to which the Company is a party. No payment pursuant to any Employee Plan or other arrangement to any “service provider” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations and IRS guidance thereunder) would subject any Person to tax pursuant to Section 409A(1) of the Code, whether pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. The exercise price of all of Company Options is no less than the fair market value of the Common Stock underlying such Company Options as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code on the date such Company Options were granted (within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv)(B)). No Company Options have been retroactively granted, and the exercise price of any such Company Option has not been determined retroactively in contravention of any Applicable Law.

Section 3.23 Environmental Matters.

(a) No notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons or order has been received, no complaint has been filed, no penalty has been assessed and no investigation, action, claim, suit, proceeding or review is pending or, to Knowledge of the Company, threatened by any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any material matters relating to the Company or the Business and relating to or arising out of any Environmental Law. There are no material liabilities or obligations of or relating to the Company of any kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, arising under or relating to any Environmental Law or any Hazardous Substance, and there are no facts, conditions, situations or set of circumstances which could reasonably be expected to result in or be the basis for any such liability or obligation. To the Company’s Knowledge, no Hazardous Substance has been discharged, disposed of, dumped, injected, pumped, deposited, spilled, leaked, emitted or released at, on or under any property now or previously owned, leased or operated by the Company. The Company is and has at all times since January 1, 2007 been in material compliance with all Environmental Laws and has obtained and is in compliance with all Environmental Permits; such Environmental Permits are valid and in full force and effect and will not be terminated or impaired or become terminable, in whole or in part, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) There has been no environmental investigation, study, audit, test, review or other analysis conducted of which any of the Company or any Seller has Knowledge in relation to the business of the Company or any property or facility now or previously owned, leased or operated by the Company which has not been delivered to Buyer at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date hereof.

Section 3.24 Tax Matters.

(a) The Company has timely filed with the appropriate Taxing Authority all Tax Returns required to be filed (taking into account any extensions to file on or before the Closing Date). All such Tax Returns are complete and accurate in all material respects. All Taxes due and owing by the Company (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been timely paid. The Company is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file Tax Returns that the Company is or may be subject to Tax by that jurisdiction.

(b) The unpaid Taxes of the Company did not, as of the Balance Sheet Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Current Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto).

(c) No deficiencies for Taxes with respect to the Company have been claimed, proposed or assessed (in writing or, to the Company’s Knowledge, other than in writing) by any Taxing Authority. No audit, assessment or other action for or relating to any liability in respect of Taxes of the Company has been commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, and there are no matters under discussion with any Taxing Authority, or known to the Company, with respect to Taxes that are likely to result in an additional liability for Taxes with respect to the Company. The Company has delivered or made available to Buyer complete and accurate copies of all federal, state, local, and foreign Tax Returns of the Company for all open Tax years. The Company has made available to Buyer complete and accurate copies of all private letter rulings, determination letters, closing agreements and other correspondence issued by or received from the IRS or any other Taxing Authority with respect to Tax matters of the Company. The Company has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency, nor has any request been made in writing for any such waiver or extension. No power of attorney with respect to any Taxes of the Company has been executed or filed with any Taxing Authority.

(d) There are no Liens for Taxes (other than Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable).

(f) There are no Tax Sharing Agreements with respect to or involving the Company, and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound by any such Tax Sharing Agreements or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods prior to the Closing Date, except, in each case, (i) commercially reasonable agreements providing for the allocation or payment of real property Taxes attributable to real property leased or occupied by the Company or (ii) commercially reasonable agreements for the allocation or payment of personal property Taxes, sales or use Taxes or value added Taxes with respect to personal property leased, used, owned or sold in the ordinary course of business.

(g) The Company has not been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return (other than a group the common parent of which is the Company) or any similar group for federal, state, local or foreign Tax purposes. The Company does not have any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than Taxes of the Company) (i) under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), or (ii) as a transferee or successor.

(h) The Company has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any creditor, shareholder or other third party (other than an employee or consultant).

(l) None of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company constitutes indebtedness with respect to which any interest deductions may be disallowed under Sections 163(i), 163(1) or 279 of the Code or under any other provision of Applicable Law.

(m) The Company has not distributed the stock of any corporation in a transaction satisfying the requirements of Section 355 of the Code, and neither the stock of the Company nor the stock of any Subsidiary has been distributed in a transaction satisfying the requirements of Section 355 of the Code.

(n) The Company has not entered into any transaction that is or is substantially similar to a “listed transaction” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4, or any other transaction requiring disclosure under analogous provisions of state, local or foreign law. If the Company has entered into any transaction such that, if the treatment claimed by it were to be disallowed, the transaction would constitute a substantial understatement of federal income tax within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code, then it believes that it has either (i) substantial authority for the tax treatment of such transaction or (ii) disclosed on its Tax Return the relevant facts affecting the tax treatment of such transaction.

Participants for breaches of representations or warranties of Holdback Participants contained in this Agreement shall not exceed $3,750,000 (the “Indemnity Cap”); provided however, that (A) the maximum aggregate liability of the Holdback Participants for any indemnification claim with respect to breach of the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 (Corporate Existence and Power), 3.02 (Corporate Authorization), 3.05 (Capitalization), 3.06 (Ownership of Shares), 3.19 (Finders’ Fees) or 3.24 (Tax Matters) may exceed the Indemnity Cap but shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price, (B) the maximum aggregate liability of the Holdback Participants for any indemnification claims with respect to breach of the representations and warranties made in Section 3.22(l) (Employee Benefit Plans) may not exceed an amount equal to the Indemnity Cap; provided, that the maximum aggregate liability of the Sellers and Management Employees for any indemnification claims with respect to breach of the representations and warranties made in Section 3.22(l) (Employee Benefit Plans) may exceed the Indemnity Cap but shall not exceed an amount equal to the Indemnity Cap plus $1,000,000 and any such excess shall be payable by the Sellers and Management Employees pro rata, in proportion to the Additional Indemnity Percentage of such Seller or Management Employee as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, and (C) the maximum aggregate liability of the Holdback Participants for any breach of any covenant of Holdback Participants contained in this Agreement and indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.02(a)(i)(B), 6.02(a)(ii) and 6.02(a)(iii) may exceed the Indemnity Cap but shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6, the total amount required to be paid by any Holdback Participant pursuant to Section 6.02(a) shall be limited in the aggregate to the value of the Purchase Price received by such Holdback Participant (including portions of future holdback payments to which such Holdback Participant may be entitled).

(iii) Nothing in this Section 6.03(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties’ right to specific performance or other similar non-monetary equitable remedy. The parties hereby waive any provision of any Applicable Law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 6.03(a).

(b) Without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Article 6: (i) the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.02(a) and 6.02(b) shall not apply except to the extent that the aggregate Damages against which the applicable Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified under this Article 6 exceeds $270,000 (the “Threshold”), in which event the Indemnified Party shall, subject to the other limitations contained herein, be entitled to be indemnified from the first dollar thereof; provided however, that (A) the Threshold shall not apply to any breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers in Sections 3.01 (Corporate Existence and Power), 3.02 (Corporate Authorization), 3.05 (Capitalization), 3.06 (Ownership of Shares), 3.19 (Finders’ Fees) and 3.22(l) (Employee Benefit Plans), any breach of any covenant (including with respect to Article 5) made pursuant to this

Agreement by any applicable party or any indemnification for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(ii) and (B) the Threshold shall be $25,000 (and not $270,000) only for the purposes of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers in Section 3.24 (Tax Matters).

(c) The rights to indemnification under this Article 6 shall not be affected by any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at or prior to the Closing that could give rise to an indemnification claim following the Closing.

(d) Nothing in this Section 6.03 shall limit any remedy a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party may have against any Person for fraud under applicable tort laws. With respect to any claim against any Person for fraud under Applicable Laws, the rights and remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Laws.

(e) No Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be compensated pursuant to this Article 6 more than once for the same Damage.

(f) Buyer and Holdback Participants acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in Articles 3 and 4 (as qualified by the disclosures made in the Disclosure Schedule), no party hereto, and none of the representatives of the parties hereto, has made or is making any representations or warranties whatsoever, implied or otherwise.

Section 6.04 Claims Procedure.

(a) If an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that such Indemnified Party has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6, then Buyer (on behalf of any Buyer Indemnified Party) may deliver to Sellers’ Representative, or Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of all Seller Indemnified Parties) may deliver to Buyer, a certificate signed by any officer of Buyer or by any officer of Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be (a “Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6;

(ii) to the extent possible, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to receive, which shall be the amount of Damages such Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer (subject to any applicable adjustments pursuant to Section 6.03(c)); and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Buyer or Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be) the material facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim.

Subject to this Article 6, no delay in providing such Claim Certificate shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) If Sellers’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, in good faith objects to any claim made in any Claim Certificate, then such party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the other parties during the 30 calendar day period commencing upon receipt by Sellers’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, of the Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made in the relevant Claim Certificate. If no Claim Dispute Notice is delivered prior to the expiration of such 30 calendar day period, then (i) each claim for indemnification set forth in such Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the relevant Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this Article 6 on the terms set forth in the Claim Certificate and (ii) as applicable, if such Claim Certificate was delivered by Buyer, then Buyer may offset the then-current Holdback Funds by an amount equal to the amount of such claim in accordance with this Section 6.04, or as otherwise required pursuant to this Article 6, the Indemnifying Party shall make payment to the Indemnified Party.

(c) Following delivery of a Claim Dispute Notice, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall then attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised in such Claim Dispute Notice. If Buyer and Sellers’ Representative agree to a resolution of such objection, then (i) a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall be prepared and signed by both parties and (ii) as applicable, if such memorandum calls for a payment to a Buyer Indemnified Party, Buyer may offset the then-current Holdback Funds by an amount equal to the amount of such claim in accordance with such memorandum, or as otherwise required pursuant to this Article 6, the Indemnifying Party shall make payment to the Indemnified Party.

(d) If no such resolution can be reached during the 45 calendar day period following receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45 calendar day period, either Buyer or Sellers’ Representative may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Sections 7.06 and 7.07. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and Holdback Participants. As applicable, if such decision calls for a payment to a Buyer Indemnified Party, Buyer may offset the then-current Holdback Funds by an amount equal to the amount of such claim in accordance therewith, or as otherwise required pursuant to this Article 6, the Indemnifying Party shall make payment to the Indemnified Party. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 6.05 Defense of Third-Party Claims. Except as otherwise provided in Article 5 or further below in this Section 6.05, in the event of the assertion of any actual or possible claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding that has been or may be brought or asserted by a third party against an Indemnified Party and that may be subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), Buyer shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such Third-Party Claim on its own. If Buyer so proceeds with the defense of any such Claim:

(a) Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Indemnifying Party (to the extent a Seller or its Affiliates) to, make available to Buyer any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Third-Party Claim;

(b) Buyer shall notify Sellers’ Representative of the progress of any such Third-Party Claim as reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative; and

(c) Buyer shall not have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the consent of Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Buyer shall give Sellers’ Representative prompt written notice of the commencement of any such Third-Party Claim against Buyer or the Company (the “Third-Party Claim Notice”); provided however, that any failure on the part of Buyer to so notify Sellers’ Representative shall not limit any of the obligations of the applicable Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 6 (except and only to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Third-Party Claim). The Third-Party Claim Notice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by the third party making such claim (to the extent then in possession by Buyer) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent then known by Buyer) the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount of the claimed Damages. Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the applicable Indemnifying Party, at his sole option and expense, to participate in, but not to conduct, any defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third-Party Claim. Buyer shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the Sellers’ Representative with respect to the Third-Party Claim.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, at its election and at its expense, and in lieu of Buyer, to proceed with the defense of a Third-Party Claim on its own, provided that (i) Sellers’ Representative acknowledges to Buyer that that the Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnified pursuant to this Article 6, (ii) the third party seeks monetary damages only, (iii) an adverse resolution of the Third-Party Claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (A) the goodwill or reputation of Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party or the future conduct of any of their respective businesses, or (B) the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party, (iv) the maximum monetary liability sought under such Third-Party Claim is less than or equal to the amount of the Holdback Funds then actually remaining unpaid, less the aggregate amount of all other unresolved claims for indemnification pending hereunder, (v) the subject matter of such Third-Party Claim does not relate to intellectual property or employee or employee benefit matters. If Sellers’ Representative has the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this paragraph but fails to notify Buyer in writing of its election to do so within 15 days of delivery of the Third-Party Claim Notice, then Buyer shall be entitled to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim in its sole discretion. If Sellers’ Representative so proceeds with the defense of any such Claim:

(d) Buyer shall reasonably make available to Sellers’ Representative any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Third-Party Claim;

(e) Sellers’ Representative shall regularly update Buyer of the progress of any such Third-Party Claim; and

(f) Sellers’ Representative shall not have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Buyer shall be entitled, at its sole option and expense, to participate in, but not to conduct, any defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to Third-Party Claim for which Sellers’ Representative has assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 6.05. Sellers’ Representative shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to such Third-Party Claims.

Section 6.06 No Contribution. No Holdback Participant shall have, or be entitled to exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Buyer or any other Person in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which it may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement (unless Buyer shall have consented thereto).

Section 6.07 Effect on Payment of Holdback Amounts. Buyer shall have the right to offset any payment of Holdback Funds and apply such funds to the satisfaction of indemnification claims, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all claims by any Buyer Indemnified Party for Damages subject to the provisions of this Article 6.

ARTICLE 7

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 7.04 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

Section 7.05 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party hereto; provided, further, that any Seller may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to its affiliates, provided that such affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 7.07 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in a United States District Court for the State of California (or if such action cannot be brought therein, in any California State Court), so long as one of such courts shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of California, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 7.02 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
