outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of

shall assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01, such Company Indemnified Party
shall submit to Parent a written claim in good faith signed by an authorized officer of the Company
or other Company Indemnified Party, as applicable, stating (i) that a Company Indemnified Party
incurred or reasonably believes it may incur Damages and the reasonable estimate of the amount of
any such Damages; (ii) in reasonable detail, the facts alleged as the basis for such claim and the
section or sections of this Agreement alleged as the basis or bases for the claim; and (iii) if the
Damages have actually been incurred, the number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock to
which the Stockholders are entitled to with respect to such Damages, which shall be determined as
provided in Section 8.06 below. If the claim is for Damages which the Company Indemnified Parties
reasonably believe may be incurred or are otherwise un-liquidated, the written claim of the
applicable Company Indemnified Party shall state the reasonable estimate of such Damages, in which
event a claim shall be deemed to have been asserted under this Article VIII in the amount of such
estimated Damages, but no distribution of additional shares of Parent Common Stock to the
Stockholders pursuant to Section 8.06 below shall be made until such Damages have actually been
incurred.
(b) In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any Company
Indemnified Party with respect to which Parent may have liability under this Article VIII, Parent
shall have the right, at its cost and expense, to defend such action, suit or proceeding in the
name and on behalf of the Company Indemnified Party; provided, however, that a
Company Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with fees and expenses
paid by Parent, if representation of the Company Indemnified Party by counsel retained by Parent
would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differing interests between Parent and the
Company Indemnified Party. In connection with any action, suit or proceeding subject to Article
VIII, Parent and each Company Indemnified Party agree to render to each other such assistance as
may reasonably be required in order to ensure proper and adequate defense of such action, suit or
proceeding. Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Company
Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or
compromise any claim or demand if such settlement or compromise does not include an irrevocable and
unconditional release of such Company Indemnified Party for any liability arising out of such claim
or demand.

Section 8.06 Payment of Damages. In the event that the Company Indemnified Parties
shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII for actual Damages incurred by
them, Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination of the amount of such
Damages, issue to the Stockholders that number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock in an
aggregate amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of such Damages by (y)
the Fair Market Value per share of the Parent Common Stock as of the date (the “Determination
Date”) of the submission of the notice of claim to Parent pursuant to Section 8.05. Such shares
of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to the Stockholders pro rata, in proportion to the number of
shares of Parent Common Stock issued (or issuable) to the Stockholders at the Effective Time. For
purposes of this Section 8.06, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, with respect to a share of
Parent Common Stock on any Determination Date, the average of the daily closing prices for the 10
consecutive business days prior to such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last
sales price or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing high bid and low
asked prices, in either case (a) as officially quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the NYSE Amex, the
NASDAQ Stock Market or such other market on which the Parent Common Stock is then listed for
trading or quoted, or (b) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, the
OTC Bulletin Board, the NYSE Amex or the NASDAQ Stock Market is no longer the principal United
States market for the Parent Common Stock, then as quoted on the principal United States market for
the Parent Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of Parent, or (c) if, in the
reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, there exists no principal United States
market for the Parent Common Stock, then as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of Parent.
