The amount of cash each Company Shareholder is entitled to receive for the shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Shareholder shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating the cash amounts payable for all shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Shareholder.

(b) Cancellation of Company-Owned Stock. Notwithstanding Section 2.6(a), each share of Company Common Stock held of record by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(i) The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Option or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such Company Stock Option, less any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld in accordance with Section 2.7(d).

(ii) The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each restricted stock award, deferred stock award, stock appreciation right and other right, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive shares of Company Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of such shares, and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Company Common Stock that may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under any Company Stock Plan, other than Company Stock Options (each, a “Company Stock Award”) immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Award or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock in respect of such Company Stock Award multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.7(d).

(iii) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any Employee consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.6(c).

(d) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Following the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub common stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.7 Exchange.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Exchange Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Exchange Agent and make available to the Exchange Agent cash in an amount sufficient to permit the payment of the Merger Consideration to which the Company Shareholders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.6(a) (including cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares of Company Common Stock) (the “Exchange Fund”). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of (i) a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock (the “Company Certificates”), or (ii) book-entry shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Book-Entry Shares”) the following: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Certificates or the Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange

Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Certificates or the Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Company Certificate for cancellation, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares or upon delivery of an affidavit of lost certificate and an indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (an “Affidavit”) (together with any required Form W-9 or Form W-8) to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the Exchange Agent shall pay by check to each tendering holder of a Company Certificate, Book-Entry Share or an Affidavit (each, a “Tendering Company Holder”) the Merger Consideration. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable to holders of Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(b) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company or its transfer agent of any shares of the Company’s capital stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Company Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Affidavits for lost Company Certificates are presented for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.7.

(c) Until Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are surrendered or an Affidavit with respect to any lost Company Certificates is delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(b), such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed, for all purposes, to evidence ownership of the right to receive from Parent the Merger Consideration.

(d) Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other Applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or an entity designated by Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with the provisions of this Section 2.7 shall thereafter look only to Parent for any Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

2.8 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub will take all such lawful and reasonably necessary action at the cost and expense of Parent. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to perform all of its obligations relating to this Agreement and the Transactions.

2.9 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

2.10 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock that are held by a Company Shareholder of record (or held by a beneficial owner or by a nominee who complies with Section 23B.13.030 of the Act) who, (i) if this Agreement has been approved at the Company Shareholder Meeting, did not vote such shares in favor of the approval of this Agreement and has properly notified the Company of such Company Shareholder’s intent to demand payment for such Company Shareholder’s shares in accordance with Chapter 23B.13 of the Act (and who has neither effectively withdrawn such demand nor lost his, her or its right of dissent) and (ii) following receipt of a dissenters’ notice from the Company, has demanded payment and taken such other actions required by Chapter 23B.13 of the Act (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive any Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6 or any other provision in this Agreement, and such Company Shareholder shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such Company Shareholder by the Act. If after the Effective Time such Company Shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such Company Shareholder’s right of dissent, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.6.

(b) Notice of Exercise. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any notices of intent to demand payment with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such notices and any other instruments served pursuant to the Act and received by the Company relating to dissenters’ rights and (ii) subject to the provisions of Article 6, the opportunity to participate in the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to the exercise of dissenters’ rights under the Act. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to the exercise of dissenters’ rights or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment with respect to Dissenting Shares.

It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section 6.4 by any Representative of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section 6.4 by the Company.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 6.4(a), at any time prior to the Company Shareholder Approvals:

(i) the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with any third party that, subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 6.4(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a Superior Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, is, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal by the third party making such Acquisition Proposal and (B) furnish to such third party and its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries and access to the business, properties, assets, books and records of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent) with such third party with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such third party and (C) take any action required by Applicable Law and any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take; and

(ii) the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change following receipt of an Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal;

in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) only if the Company Board determines in good faith by a majority vote, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company Shareholders under Applicable Law.

In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from (i) complying with Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2 under the Exchange Act (or making any similar communication to the Company Shareholders in connection with any amendment to the terms of a tender offer or exchange offer) so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 6.4, (ii) disclosing factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or the fact that an Acquisition Proposal has been made, the identity of the party making such proposal or the material terms of such proposal in the Proxy Statement or otherwise, to the extent the Company in good faith determines that such information, facts, identity or terms is required to be disclosed under Applicable Law or that failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law or (iii) making any statement or disclosure to the Company Shareholders required by Applicable Law; provided, that any such action taken or statement or disclosure made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an

Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Board Recommendations in such statement or disclosure or in connection with such action (except that a mere “stop, look and listen” disclosure in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the 1934 Act shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change).

(c) Required Notices. The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.4(b) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action, and, after taking such action, the Company shall, if such action is in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, continue to advise Parent on a current basis on the status and terms of any discussions and negotiations with the third party and the Company is not in breach of any of the other requirements of this Section 6.4. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any written indication that a third party is considering making an Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries by any third party that has indicated it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide such notice orally and in writing and shall identify the third party making, and the terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis, of the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request, and shall promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) (x) provide to Parent copies of all correspondence and written materials sent or provided to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries by the third party that describes any terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal and (y) notify Parent after it becomes aware of any breach of this Section 6.4 expressly sanctioned or knowingly permitted by the Company. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the Company’s compliance with this Section 6.4(c).

(d) “Last Look”. Further, the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal as permitted by Section 6.4(b)(ii), unless (i) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing at least three (3) Business Days before taking that action, of its intention to do so, attaching the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Acquisition Proposal is proposed to be consummated and all other contemplated transaction documents (including any agreements with any Company Shareholders or any directors or Employees of the Company) and the identity of the third party making the Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) Parent does not make, within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of that written notification, an offer that the Company Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, is more favorable to the Company Shareholders as such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and a new three (3) Business Day period under clause (ii) of this Section 6.4(d)). During any three (3) Business Day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.4(d), the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transactions proposed by Parent.

(e) Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal, that did not result from or arise out of a violation of Section 6.4(a), for all of the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock or substantially all the assets of the Company that the Company Board determines in good faith by a majority vote, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, including the expected timing and likelihood of consummation in light of all technical, legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the Acquisition Proposal, any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions, conditions to consummation and the expectation of obtaining required regulatory approvals, is more favorable to the Company Shareholders, including from a financial point of view, than as provided hereunder (taking into account any binding proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4(d)), that the Company Board determines is reasonably likely to be consummated and for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Company Board.

(f) Obligation to Terminate Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause the Company’s subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party and its Representatives and its financing sources conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly request that each third party, if any, that has executed a confidentiality agreement within the 12-month period prior to the date hereof in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries (and all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such Person that contains, reflects or analyzes that information), and the Company shall provide to Parent all certifications of such return or destruction from such other Persons as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure all such certifications as promptly as practicable. If any such Person fails to provide any required certification within the time period allotted in the relevant confidentiality agreement (or if no such period is specified, then within a reasonable time period after the date hereof but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days), then the Company shall take all actions that may be reasonably necessary to secure its rights and ensure the performance of such other party’s obligations thereunder as promptly as practicable.

6.5 Confidentiality; Access to Information.

(a) Confidentiality Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Company and Parent have previously executed the Confidentiality Agreement, which will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b) Access to Information. The Company will afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the properties, books, records and personnel of the Company during the period prior to the Effective Time to obtain all information concerning the business, properties, results of operations and personnel of the Company, as Parent may reasonably request. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts

to obtain the consent from its personnel, agents, contractors, suppliers and customers as required to be in compliance with the privacy laws of the Applicable Laws allowing such access. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.5 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger.

6.6 Public Disclosure. Parent and the Company will consult with each other, and to the extent reasonably practicable, agree, before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal and will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by Applicable Law or the rules of the OTCBB or any applicable stock exchange. The parties have agreed to the text of the joint press release announcing the signing of this Agreement.

6.7 Reasonable Efforts; Notification.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other Transactions, including using reasonable efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all reasonable acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article 7 to be satisfied, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid any suit, claim, suit, action arbitration, dispute, investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iv) the defending of any suits, claims, actions, arbitrations, disputes, investigations or proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (v) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent nor any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be under any obligation to consent or otherwise agree to, or to make proposals to sell or otherwise dispose or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) any assets or categories of assets of Parent, any of its Affiliates or the Company, or hold separate the Company Common Stock (or shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation), or any limitation or regulation on the ability of Parent or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to freely conduct their business or own assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation).

(b) Each of the Company and Parent will give prompt notice to the other of (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger, (ii) any notice or other communication

from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, (iii) any litigation relating to, involving or otherwise affecting the Company, Parent or their respective subsidiaries that relates to or may reasonably be expected to affect, the consummation of the Merger. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate, or any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 would not be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement. Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company of any representation or warranty made by it or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate, or any failure of Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 would not be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

(c) In order to facilitate the integration of the operations of Parent and the Company and their subsidiaries and to permit the coordination of their related operations on a timely basis, and in an effort to accelerate the earliest time possible following the Effective Time the benefits expected to be realized by the parties as a result of the Merger, the Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, consult with Parent on all strategic and operational matters to the extent such consultation is not in violation of Applicable Law, including laws regarding exchange of information and other laws regarding competition. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Company will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, make available to Parent at its facilities and those of its subsidiaries, where determined by Parent to be appropriate and necessary, office space in order to assist in observing all operations and reviewing all matters concerning the affairs of the Company.

6.8 Third Party Consents. As soon as practicable following the date hereof, Parent and the Company will each use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, waivers and approvals under any of its or its subsidiaries’ respective Contracts required to be obtained in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.

6.9 Takeover Statutes. No party hereto shall take any action that would cause the Transactions to be subject to any Takeover Statute. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other Transactions, each of Parent and the Company and their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such lawful actions as are necessary to ensure that such Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute and any regulations promulgated thereunder on such Transactions.

6.10 Section 16 Matters. The Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law) to cause any disposition of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the Transactions contemplated by Article 2 of this Agreement by each Company Insider to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.11 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six years after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the individuals who on or prior to the Closing were officers or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries or were serving at the request of the Company as an officer or director of any other corporation, partnership or joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Closing to the extent provided under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement (including with respect to the advancement of expenses).

(b) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall purchase a “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing covering each such Person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with a term of six years from the Closing and on terms with respect to coverage and in amounts which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous than those of the policy in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.11(b) more than an amount equal to 150% of the annual premiums paid by the Company as of the date hereof for its existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy.

(c) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Surviving Corporation shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.11 (i) shall survive the Closing, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Company Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or Applicable Law.

(e) Any Company Indemnitee wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 6.11, upon learning of an indemnifiable claim, shall promptly notify Parent thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent or the Surviving Corporation of any Liability it may have to such Company Indemnitee, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any such claim, (arising after the Effective Time), (i) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company Indemnitees (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to such Company Indemnitees for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Company Indemnitees in

connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Company Indemnitees advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent or the Surviving Corporation and the Company Indemnitees, or between the Company Indemnitees, the Company Indemnitees may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Company Indemnitees promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (e) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Company Indemnitees in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Company Indemnitees would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; provided, that (i) the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used, (ii) the Company Indemnitees will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and provided, further, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Company Indemnitee if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Company Indemnitee in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by Applicable Law.

9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

9.4 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the LOI; and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder.

9.5 Severability. 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 of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement 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.

9.6 Other Remedies; Specific Performance.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed by the Company in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached by the Company. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled, without posting a bond or similar indemnity, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any federal court located in the State of Washington or any Washington state court, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Company agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that Parent and Merger Sub have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall not be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms hereof.

9.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

9.8 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

9.9 Assignment. No party may assign (whether by operation of law or otherwise) either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub may, without the prior written consent of the Company, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 9.9 shall be void.

9.10 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by any other party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in any federal court located in the State of Washington or any Washington state court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any court or tribunal other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 9.10, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claim that (x) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

9.11 Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH OF PARENT, THE COMPANY AND MERGER SUB HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, THE COMPANY OR MERGER SUB IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

9.12 Amendment. Subject to Applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the Company Shareholders; provided, after any such approval, no amendment shall be made which by law or in accordance with the rules of the OTCBB or any relevant stock exchange requires further approval by such shareholders without such further shareholder approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company.

9.13 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.
