ARTICLE II
THE MERGER
2.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, MergerSub and Holdings shall
consummate a merger (the “Merger”) in which (a) MergerSub shall be merged with and into Holdings
and the separate corporate existence of MergerSub shall thereupon cease, and (b) Holdings shall
continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) as a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Parent and shall succeed to and assume all of the rights, properties, liabilities and
obligations of Holdings and MergerSub in accordance with the DGCL. The Parties agree to treat the
Merger as a taxable stock purchase for federal income tax purposes.
2.02 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Parent and Holdings
shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing on the Closing Date a Certificate of Merger (the
“Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as
required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger
shall become effective as of the time of acceptance of the Certificate of Merger by the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”).
2.03 Consideration for the Merger; Conversion or Cancellation of Shares in the Merger.
By virtue of the Merger, and without any further action on the part of any Party hereto or holder
thereof at the Effective Time, all Holdings Series A Preferred Shares and Holdings Common Shares
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and
shall be cancelled and retired as of the Effective Time and converted solely into the right to
receive the applicable Merger Consideration as follows:
(a) The merger consideration payable to the holders of the Holdings Series A Preferred Shares
and Holdings Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on account thereof
shall consist of the cash (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.03(b))and Parent Shares set forth on
Schedule 2.03(a) hereto, the Make-Whole Payment and the Per Share Escrow Consideration (the
“Merger Consideration”). On the Closing Date, Parent shall (i) pay to the holders of Holdings
Shares by wire transfer in immediately available funds the respective amounts set forth opposite
their names on Schedule 2.03(a) hereto (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.03(b)),
such wires to be sent to the respective accounts and in accordance with the respective wire
transfer instructions set forth on said Schedule 2.03(a) (the “Designated Accounts”); and
(ii) cause to be issued to the holders of Holdings Shares that number of Parent Shares set forth on
Schedule 2.03(a) hereto, such Parent Shares to be issued in the manner set forth on said
Schedule 2.03(a).
11
(b) The aggregate amount of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, as set forth on
Schedule 2.03(a) hereto, shall be increased by the aggregate exercise price in respect of
all Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and reduced by the sum of the
Merger Transaction Expenses and the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.03(b). Such
adjustments to the aggregate amount of the cash portion of the Merger Consideration shall
proportionately increase or reduce the amount of cash payable to each of the holders of the
Holdings Shares pursuant to the respective allocation percentages set forth on Schedule
2.03(a).
(c) If the Per Share Net Proceeds received by the Selling Stockholders in the Proposed
Secondary Offering are less than the Average Price for the five-day trading period ending on the
trading date immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Average Price”), then on the
closing date of the Proposed Secondary Offering, Parent will pay in cash as additional Merger
Consideration to each Stockholder an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Parent Shares
issued to such Stockholder on the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule 2.03(a), multiplied
by (ii) the lesser of (A) the difference between the closing price of Parent Shares on The Nasdaq
Global Market on the date the Proposed Secondary Offering is priced (which is the date of the
underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the Proposed Secondary Offering, unless the
Proposed Secondary Offering is priced intra-day, in which case such date shall be the trading date
immediately prior to such date) (the “Pricing Day Closing Price”) and the Per Share Net Proceeds,
or (B) 12.5% of the Pricing Day Closing Price (the “Make-Whole Payment”).
(d) The Holdings Series A Preferred Shares together with Holdings Common Shares outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Holdings
Shares.” Each Holdings Share (other than any Holdings Shares that are held by stockholders
exercising dissenters’ rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Stockholders,” and
such Holdings Shares, the “Dissenting Shares”)) will be converted solely into the right to receive
that portion of the Merger Consideration equal to the fraction, the numerator of which shall equal
(i) in the case of a Holdings Common Share, one (1) and (ii) in the case of a Holdings Series A
Preferred Share, the number of Holdings Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of such Holdings
Series A Preferred Share, and the denominator of which shall equal the sum of (1) that number of
Holdings Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (2) the
number of Holdings Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the issued and outstanding Holdings
Series A Preferred Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and (3) that number of Holdings
Common Shares that are subject to issuance upon the exercise of Options vested (including Options
that automatically vest in connection with the Merger) immediately prior to the Effective Time.
All Holdings Shares shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
holders thereof, except as otherwise set forth herein, cease to be outstanding, be canceled and
retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Holdings Shares
(a “Company Certificate”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Holdings
Shares, except its right to receive the respective portion of the Merger Consideration for such
Holdings Shares upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with this Section
2.03. Each holder of Holdings Shares shall surrender all Company Certificates held by such
party as a condition to receiving the respective portion of the Merger Consideration to which such
holder is entitled.
12
(e) At the Effective Time, each share of MergerSub’s Common Stock shall be converted into one
share of the Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(f) No interest shall accrue on the Merger Consideration (other than any that may be earned on
investments of the Escrow Fund). Neither Parent nor any other Party hereto shall be liable to any
holder of Holdings Shares for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
2.04 Dissenting Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
any Stockholder that is entitled to demand, and properly demands, appraisal of its Holdings Shares
pursuant to, and complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into
the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to such rights (but
only such rights) as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall
fail to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, Holdings
Shares held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be treated as though such Holdings
Shares had been converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II.
2.05 Option Treatment. As of the Effective Time, all outstanding options to purchase
Holdings Common Shares granted by Holdings pursuant to its stock option plans or otherwise (the
“Options”), whether vested or unvested, whether or not exercisable, shall by virtue of the Merger
be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and the sole right of the holders of
the Options (“Optionholders”) with respect to such Options shall be the right to receive, in
respect of those Options which are, or will be at the Closing, vested (or that automatically vest
in connection with the Merger), payments in cash equal to (a) the respective amounts set forth
opposite their names on Schedule 2.05 (as adjusted to reflect adjustments to the cash
portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.03(b)), payable on the Closing
Date minus the aggregate exercise price at which such Option is exercisable immediately prior to
the Effective Time, and (b) the product of any Per Share Escrow Consideration multiplied by the
number of Holding Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Options held by such Optionholder
immediately prior to the Effective Time. All payments to Optionholders shall be treated as
compensation when such consideration is actually paid, and each such payment shall be subject to
and reduced by all applicable federal, state and local withholding Taxes. The Board of Directors
of Holdings shall adopt such resolutions and take such actions as may be required to cause each
Option outstanding at the Effective Time to be terminated in accordance with this Section
2.05.
2.06 Closing.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the closing (the
“Closing”) of the Merger shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxx Procter LLP, Exchange Place,
Boston, Massachusetts 02109 on the Closing Date, or at such other time or place as Parent and
Holdings may agree.
(b) The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable
provisions of the DGCL.
13
(c) The Certificate of Merger shall provide that at the Effective Time, (a) the Surviving
Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be amended as of the Effective Time so as to contain the provisions, and only the provisions,
contained immediately prior thereto in MergerSub’s Certificate of Incorporation, except for Article
I thereof, which shall continue to read “That the name of the corporation is ‘Neighborhood
Holdings, Inc.” and (b) MergerSub’s By-laws in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
be Surviving Corporation’s By-laws; in each case until amended in accordance with the DGCL. At the
Effective Time, the directors and officers of MergerSub shall become the directors and officers of
the Surviving Corporation.
(d) Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to Holdings the following items and the obligation of Holdings to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
following conditions:
(i) this Agreement, duly executed by Parent and MergerSub;
(ii) the Escrow Agreement, duly executed by Parent; and
(iii) such other documents and instruments as are required pursuant to this Agreement
or as may reasonably be requested by Company or its counsel.
2.07 Escrow Agreement. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent,
Six Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,600,000) in cash (the “Escrow Amount”) to be deposited
in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. All funds deposited with the Escrow Agent
shall be applied by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Parent
shall be treated as the owner of the Merger Consideration to the extent held by the Escrow Agent,
and all interest and earnings from the investment and reinvestment of the Merger Consideration held
by the Escrow Agent, or any portion thereof, shall be included in the gross income of Parent
pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8. The
Parties agree to treat as interest paid to the Stockholders the sum of (a) any amount distributed
to the Stockholders in excess of the Escrow Amount attributable to the Stockholders and (b) without
duplication, any interest that may be imputed on the amount distributed from the Escrow to the
Stockholders, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code. If and to the extent any funds
deposited with the Escrow Agent are actually distributed to any Optionholder with respect to any
Option, such funds shall be treated as compensation in accordance with Section 2.05.

in a Company Material Adverse Change.

to Company’s Knowledge been investigated by any Governmental Entity with respect to contracts

Business Intellectual Property or (ii) to the effect that any activity by any Company, infringes,
misappropriates or conflicts with, or will infringe, misappropriate or conflict with any Third
Party IP Rights have been asserted against any Company or, to Company’s Knowledge, are threatened
by any Person nor does there exist any valid basis for such a claim. There are no legal or
governmental proceedings, including interference, re-examination, reissue, opposition, nullity, or
cancellation proceedings pending that relate to any of the Business Intellectual Property, other
than review of pending patent applications, and to Company’s Knowledge, no such proceedings are
threatened or contemplated by any governmental entity or any other person. All Business

execute a binding confidentiality agreement, copies or forms of which have been provided to
Parent and, to Company’s Knowledge, there has not been any breach by any party to such
confidentiality agreements.
(h) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13, in connection with the collection and/or use

Subsidiary has been owned by Holdings), complied in all material respects with (i) all applicable
statutes, regulations and Company privacy and data security policies relating to the collection,
storage, use and onward transfer of all Personal Data maintained by or on behalf of any Company
(including, without limitation, to the extent applicable to a Company, the Health Insurance

acquired by Holdings within such five-year period, for such shorter period as such Subsidiary has
been owned by Holdings), suffered any breach in security that has permitted, to Company’s
Knowledge, any unauthorized access to the Personal Data under that Company’s control or possession.
Except as described on Schedule 3.13, each Company has, to the extent required by
applicable Law, required and does require all third parties to which it provides Personal Data

reasonably be expected to result in the loss or expiration (including any termination,
cancellation, revocation, suspension, restriction, withdrawal or similar action) of any Permit,
other than the expiration of a Permit in accordance with the terms thereof, which terms do not
expire as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the imposition
27

state or local Plant Closing Law or regulation and no layoffs that are reasonably likely to
implicate such Laws or regulations are currently contemplated.
29
(i) No Company is a government contractor under Executive Order 11246, or otherwise has any
affirmative action or prevailing wage obligations under the Law of any Governmental Entity.
(j) Schedule 3.16(j) sets forth a true, complete and correct list of every Employee
Plan that is maintained, sponsored or contributed to by any Company or with respect to which any
Company has or is reasonably likely to have any liability (the “Company Employee Plans”).
“Employee Plan” means (A) an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) whether or not subject to
ERISA; (B) stock option plans, stock purchase plans, bonus or incentive award plans, severance pay
plans, programs or arrangements, deferred compensation arrangements or agreements, employment
agreements, executive compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements, change in control
plans, programs or arrangements, supplemental income arrangements, vacation plans, and all other
employee benefit plans, agreements, and arrangements, not described in (A) above; and (C) plans or
arrangements providing compensation to employee and non-employee directors. An entity is an
“ERISA Affiliate” of any Company if it is or at any applicable time (but only with respect to such
time) would have been considered a single employer with such Company under Section 4001(b) of ERISA
or part of the same “controlled group” as such Company for purposes of Section 302(d)(3) of ERISA.
(k) Each Company Employee Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) or 501(c)(9)
of the Code has received a favorable determination or approval letter from the IRS with respect to
such qualification, or may rely on an opinion letter issued by the IRS with respect to a prototype
plan adopted in accordance with the requirements for such reliance, or has time remaining for
application to the IRS for a determination of the qualified status of such Company Employee Plan
for any period for which such Company Employee Plan would not otherwise be covered by an IRS
determination and, to Company’s Knowledge, no event or omission has occurred that is reasonably
likely to cause any Company Employee Plan to lose such qualification.
(l) (i) Each Company Employee Plan is, and has been operated in material compliance with
applicable Laws and is and has been administered in all material respects in accordance with
applicable Law and with its terms. (ii) No litigation or governmental administrative proceeding,
audit or other proceeding (other than those relating to routine claims for benefits) is pending or,
to Company’s Knowledge, threatened with respect to any Company Employee Plan. (iii) All payments
and/or contributions required to have been made with respect to all Company Employee Plans either
have been made or have been accrued, where required by GAAP, in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Company Employee Plan and applicable Law.
(m) No Company Employee Plan is a single employer pension plan (within the meaning of Section
4001(a)(15) of ERISA) for which any Company or any ERISA Affiliate could incur liability under
Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA or a plan maintained by more than one employer as described in
Section 413(c) of the Code.
(n) No Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained any Company Employee Plan that is
or was subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code, Section 302
30
of ERISA or is a multiemployer plan (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) and no
Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA that has not
been paid in full.
(o) None of the Company Employee Plans provides health care or any other non-pension benefits
to any employees after their employment is terminated (other than as required by Part 6 of Subtitle
B of Title I of ERISA or similar state law) and no Company has a contractual or otherwise
enforceable obligation to provide such benefits.
(p) Each Company Employee Plan may be amended, terminated, or otherwise modified by any
Company to the greatest extent permitted by applicable Law, including the elimination of any and
all future benefit accruals thereunder. No Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has announced
its intention to modify or terminate any Company Employee Plan or adopt any arrangement or program
which, once established, would be a Company Employee Plan. Each asset held under each Company
Employee Plan may be liquidated or terminated without the imposition of any redemption fee,
surrender charge or comparable liability.
(q) The per share exercise price of each Option is no less than the fair market value of a
share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such Option determined in a manner consistent with
Section 409A of the Code. Each Company Employee Plan that constitutes in any part a nonqualified
deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code has been operated and
maintained in operational and documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Code and applicable
guidance thereunder. No payment to be made under any Company Employee Plan is, or to Company’s
Knowledge, will be, subject to the penalties of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.
(r) No Company Employee Plan is subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United
States.
(s) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the stockholder approval of this

additional representations or warranties of the Company beyond those specifically set forth in this
Agreement. Parent will hold any such information which is nonpublic in confidence in accordance
with the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Company shall have any obligation to provide Parent or its Representatives with any such access or
information which is prohibited under applicable Law or under the terms of any Contract to which
the Company is a party as of the date hereof.
6.04 Confidentiality. Holdings is bound by a previously executed Mutual
Confidentiality Agreement, dated November 16, 2006, between Holdings and Parent (the “Mutual
Confidentiality Agreement”), which Mutual Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and
effect in accordance with its terms. In addition, each Company (other than Holdings) hereby
acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof as if it were a party thereto.
6.05 No Solicitation.
(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, Holdings and each other Company will not, and will use
their reasonable efforts to cause the Representatives of any Company not to, (i) solicit or
initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage, any Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) from any
Person, or participate or engage in or conduct any substantive discussions or negotiations with any
Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) provide any information with respect to Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person other than Parent relating to (or
42
which any Company believes would be used for the purpose of formulating) an Acquisition
Proposal, or otherwise assist, cooperate with, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any
such Person with regard to, any request for information regarding Holdings or any other Company for
such purpose, (iii) approve or agree to or enter into any agreement with any Person other than
Parent providing for the acquisition of Holdings, any other Company, or all or substantially all of
their respective assets, or (iv) make or authorize any statement, recommendation, solicitation or
endorsement in support of any possible offer for Holdings, any other Company or all or
substantially all of their respective assets other than the Merger contemplated by this Agreement;
provided, however, that, at any time prior to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder
Approval, if Holdings receives a bona fide written request for information that was unsolicited and
that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.05, Holdings may furnish
non-public information with respect to the Companies to, and participate in discussions with, the
Person who made such request. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any
written or oral proposal or offer for a merger, consolidation, dissolution, sale of substantial
assets outside the ordinary course of business, recapitalization, share exchange or other business
combination involving any Company, (ii) any written or oral proposal for the issuance by any
Company of over 20% of its equity securities or (iii) any written or oral proposal or offer to
acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, over 20% of the equity securities or total assets of
any Company, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Holdings further agrees that it shall (a) promptly notify (which notice shall be provided
orally and in writing and shall identify the Person making such request) Parent after receipt of
any request for non-public information or for access to the properties, books or records of
Holdings or any other Company by any Person relating to (or which any Company believes would be
used for the purposes of formulating) an Acquisition Proposal, and (b) keep Parent informed of the
status of any such request. Holdings will, and will cause its Representatives to, immediately
cease and cause to be terminated all discussions and negotiations, if any, that have taken place
prior to the date of this Agreement with any parties (other than Parent) with respect to any
Acquisition Proposal.
6.06 [Reserved]
6.07 Tax Matters. During the Pre-Closing Period, neither Holdings nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall make or change any Tax election, change an annual accounting period, adopt or
change any accounting method, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle
any Tax claim or assessment relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, surrender any right to
claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to
any Tax claim or assessment relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, take any Tax position
on any Tax Return inconsistent with past practices or take any other similar action relating to the
filing of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax.
6.08 Financials.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, Holdings shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Parent
the Required Financial Statements. During the Pre-Closing Period, Holdings shall request its
auditors to deliver, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such
43
other actions as are necessary to enable its auditors to deliver, any opinions or consents
necessary for Parent to file the Required Financial Statements with the SEC on the Closing Date, in
each case to the extent and as may reasonably be requested by Parent.
(b) Holdings, prior to the Effective Time, and the Stockholders’ Representative, on or after
the Effective Time, shall request Holdings’s auditors to deliver, and Holdings prior to the
Effective Time shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such other actions as are
necessary to enable Holdings’s auditors to deliver, any opinions, consents, comfort letters, or
other materials necessary for Parent to file the Required Financial Statements in a registration
statement or other filings made by Parent with the SEC, in each case to the extent and as may be
reasonably requested by Parent.
(c) Holdings represents and warrants that the Required Financial Statements, when delivered,
will (i) have been derived from the books and records of Holdings, (ii) fairly present, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
Holdings at the dates and for the periods indicated in accordance with GAAP and Regulation S-X,
except as indicated in the footnotes thereto and except for periods subsequent to June 30, 2010, to
the absence of footnotes and normal year-end audit adjustments.
6.09 Notice of Breach; Updates to Disclosure Letters. During the Pre-Closing Period,
Holdings shall give prompt written notice to Parent of the occurrence, or failure to occur, after
the date hereof, of any event which occurrence or failure to occur has caused or could be
reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue
or inaccurate in any material respect and any failure of a Company to comply with or satisfy any
covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder in any material
respect. Except as provided below, such written notice shall be deemed not to have amended any
section of the Disclosure Schedules or any certificate or document to be delivered hereunder, or
modified any representation or warranty or any covenant, condition or agreement for purposes of
determining Parent’s right to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.02.
ARTICLE VII
COVENANT OF PARENT
Parent agrees that:
7.01 Confidentiality. Parent is bound by the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, which
Mutual Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms. In addition, MergerSub hereby acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof as
if it were a party thereto.
7.02 Registration of Shares.
(a) Parent shall file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time,
and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Closing, a shelf registration
statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act
covering the resale by the Stockholders of the Parent Shares issued as part of
44
the Merger Consideration (together with any Parent Shares issued as (or issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of any warrant, right, or other security that is issued as) a dividend or
other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, such Parent Shares,
the “Registrable Securities”). Registrable Securities will cease to be Registrable Securities upon
the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which such
Registrable Securities are no longer held by a Stockholder or a Person to which rights under this
Article VII have been transferred in accordance with Section 7.02(q).
(b) Each Stockholder will be afforded the opportunity to sell the Registrable Securities owned
by it in the Proposed Secondary Offering. Parent shall provide each Stockholder with written
notice of the Proposed Secondary Offering, offering such opportunity at least one (1) day prior to
the Proposed Secondary Offering (the “Offering Notice”). Each Stockholder may elect not to sell
some or all of its Registrable Securities in the Proposed Secondary Offering. Except to the extent
provided otherwise in the sentence immediately following this sentence, if Parent provides the
Stockholders with the Offering Notice, then the Stockholders shall have no right to cause Parent to
facilitate a further underwritten offering or to sell Registrable Securities in any other public
offering by Parent of Parent Shares. If Parent fails to provide the Stockholders with the Offering
Notice or the Proposed Secondary Offering is not consummated within 15 days after the Closing, then
the Stockholders shall have the right, until six months following the Closing Date, to sell the
Registrable Securities held by them in future underwritten offerings of Parent Shares conducted by
Parent.
(c) In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, Parent agrees to make any
other filings with the SEC required to be made prior to the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement, including, if required, a Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the closing of the
Merger and all financial statements required to be included therein.
(d) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for a period not exceeding the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the
Closing Date, or (ii) the earliest date on which each Stockholder shall cease to hold any
Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.02,
Parent may, by written notice to the Stockholders, suspend the Registration Statement after
effectiveness and require that the Stockholders immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to the
Registration Statement, in the event that Parent shall in good faith conclude in its sole
discretion, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it is advisable to suspend use of any
prospectus as a result of pending corporate developments or the disclosure requirements of the
securities laws. Upon receipt of any notice described in the preceding sentence, no Stockholder
shall offer, sell, pledge, hypothecate, transfer, distribute or otherwise dispose of, in reliance
on the Registration Statement, any of such Registrable Securities during the period in which the
Registration Statement is suspended. If Parent suspends the Registration Statement and requires
the Stockholders to cease sales of shares pursuant to this Section 7.02(d), Parent shall,
as promptly as practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled Parent to
do so, use reasonable best efforts to reinstate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
(including the filing of any necessary amendments or supplements thereto) and give written notice
to all Stockholders authorizing them to resume sales pursuant to the Registration Statement. If,
as a result thereof, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement has been amended or
supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Parent shall enclose such
45
revised prospectus with the notice to Stockholders given pursuant to this Section
7.02(d), and the Stockholders shall make no offers or sales of shares pursuant to the
Registration Statement other than by means of such revised prospectus.
(e) Parent shall notify the Stockholders of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
and shall furnish to each Stockholder, without charge, such number of copies of the Registration
Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the prospectus contained therein
(including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements (other than
amendments and supplements effected pursuant to the filing of reports required by the Exchange
Act)) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement as the Stockholders
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner
described in the Registration Statement.
(f) Parent shall as promptly as reasonably practicable notify each Stockholder of the issuance
by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with
respect to such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities or the receipt of notice of the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such a Registration Statement at the
earliest possible moment. Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholders of any request by the SEC
for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Registration
Statement (or prospectus relating thereto). Parent shall promptly notify each Stockholder of the
filing of the Registration Statement or any prospectus, amendment or supplement (other than
amendments and supplements effected pursuant to the filing of reports required by the Exchange Act)
related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and the effectiveness
of any post-effective amendment.
(g) Parent shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC from time to time such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement and prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities until the time
period specified in the first sentence of Section 7.02(d). Upon the filing of any
amendments or supplements (other than amendments and supplements effected pursuant to the filing of
reports required by the Exchange Act), Parent shall notify the Stockholders and provide copies of
such amendments or supplements in accordance with Section 7.02(e).
(h) Parent shall, in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, file
such documents as may be necessary to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of such states as the Stockholders may reasonably request, and Parent
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such filings to become effective in a timely manner;
provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign
corporation to do business under the laws of any such state in which it is not then qualified or to
file any general consent to service of process in any such state or subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction or provide any undertakings that cause Parent undue expense or
burden.
46
(i) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading
system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued
by Parent are then listed; and provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and provide a CUSIP number for all
such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the closing date of the Proposed Secondary
Offering.
(j) It shall be a condition to Parent’s obligation under this Section 7.02 to include
any Stockholder as a selling stockholder in any Registration Statement that such Stockholder shall
have delivered to Parent the Registration Rights Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit
C. It shall be a condition to Parent’s obligation under this Section 7.02 to include
any Stockholder as a selling stockholder in the Proposed Secondary Offering that such Stockholder
shall have promptly taken all such actions as Parent shall reasonably request in connection with
the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, with respect to the Proposed Secondary
Offering, including entering into and performing its obligations under any underwriting agreement,
in usual and customary form.
(k) Parent covenants and agrees that (i) the information regarding Parent included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall not at the time the Registration
Statement is filed with the SEC and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) the information
regarding Parent included or incorporated by reference in any prospectus relating to the
Registration Statement, as then amended or supplemented, shall not, as of the date such prospectus,
as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to the Stockholders, contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Subject to the
terms of this Section 7.02, if Parent becomes aware of any information that would cause any
of the statements in the Registration Statement or any prospectus related thereto, as then amended
or supplemented, with respect to Parent to be false or misleading with respect to any material
fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make such statements not false or
misleading, Parent shall promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or such
prospectus.
(l) Parent shall pay all expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this
Section 7.02, including registration and filing fees, listing fees, printing expenses,
messenger and delivery expenses, fees and expenses of Parent’s counsel, fees and expenses of
Parent’s accountants, Parent’s internal expenses. Each Stockholder shall pay, in connection with
the Proposed Secondary Offering, all expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders in connection
with the disposition of their Registrable Securities in the Proposed Secondary Offering, including
any fees of any counsel retained by such Stockholder but excluding underwriting discounts or
commissions. Each Stockholder that disposes of Registrable Securities outside the Proposed
Secondary Offering shall pay all expenses incurred by such Stockholder in connection with the
disposition of its Registrable Securities, including any broker’s fees or commissions, underwriting
discounts, selling expenses, messenger and delivery expenses and expenses of any counsel retained
by such Stockholder.
47
(m) Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Stockholder, and if such Stockholder
is not an individual, such Stockholder’s partners, members, directors, officers and stockholders,
(ii) legal counsel and accountants for each such Stockholder, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in
the Securities Act) for each such Stockholder and (iv) each Person, if any, that controls such
Stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against
any Losses (as defined below) to which such Stockholder or other such Person may become subject
that arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including any preliminary or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by Parent
(or any of its agents or Affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities
law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state
securities law, except insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon information furnished
in writing to Parent by or on behalf of a Stockholder for use in the Registration Statement.
Parent shall have the right to assume the defense and settlement of any claim or suit for which
Parent may be responsible for indemnification under this Section 7.02 with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnified party may participate in any
such defense or settlement, but Parent shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal
or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. It
shall be a condition to the inclusion of a Stockholder’s Registrable Securities in the Registration
Statement that the Stockholder agrees, severally and not jointly with any other Stockholder, to
indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its directors, officers and each Person, if any, that
controls Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any Losses to which Parent or
other such Person may become subject by reason of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, but only insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon information
furnished in writing to Parent by or on behalf of such Stockholder for use in the Registration
Statement. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party,
effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to,
any action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, and (ii) does not include
a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any
indemnified party. This Section 7.02(m) will be separate from any indemnity obligations
included in an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities.
(n) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.02 of notice
of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be
entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7.02, give the indemnifying
party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate
jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that
an
48
indemnifying party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented
without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees
and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by
the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel
in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of
the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 7.02, to the extent that such failure materially
prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to
the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section 7.02. This Section 7.02(n) will be
separate from any indemnity obligations included in an underwriting agreement entered into in
connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.
(o) If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.02(m) is unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any Losses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the
indemnified party harmless as contemplated therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other
hand, in connection with the statements, omissions or other actions which resulted in such Losses,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Parent and
the Stockholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 7.02(k) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
that fails to take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. No Person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stockholder will be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold
by such Stockholder pursuant to the Registration Statement, and in no event shall a Stockholder’s
liability pursuant to this Section 7.02(o), when combined with the amounts paid or payable
by such Stockholder pursuant to Section 7.02(m), exceed the proceeds from the offering
received by such Stockholder, except in the case of fraud by such Stockholder. This Section
7.02(o) will be separate from any contribution obligations included in an underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.
(p) Parent covenants that, for so long as (i) Parent has a class of securities registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and (ii) there are Registrable Securities outstanding, it will
49
(i) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are
understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the
Registration Statement;
(ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
Parent under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(iii) furnish to any Stockholder, so long as the Stockholder owns any Registrable
Securities forthwith upon request (A) to the extent accurate, a written statement by Parent
that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC rule 144, the Securities Act,
and the Exchange Act and (B) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Stockholder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of
any such securities without registration.
(q) Parent’s obligations under this Section 7.02 (other than Sections 7.02(m),
(n), (o) and this Section 7.02(q)) shall terminate, with respect to each
Stockholder, on the date on which all of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities may be sold
without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Each Stockholder’s rights under
this Section 7.02 are personal to such Stockholder and non-transferable except by will or
in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution in connection with the transfer of some or
all of his, her or its Registrable Securities to a child or spouse, or trust for their benefit or,
in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, to its partners, members or
stockholders. Parent’s obligations under this Section 7.02 may be waived in any instance
by the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of any or all Stockholders).
(r) Any notice sent by Parent to any address included in the Registration Rights Questionnaire
of a Stockholder shall constitute notice to such Stockholder under this Section 7.02.
7.03 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a) From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective
Time occurs, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify
and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who
becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of any Company or any predecessor
thereof (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages,
judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact
that the Company Indemnified Party is or was an officer or director of a Company or any predecessor
thereof, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest
extent permitted under the DGCL for officers and directors of Delaware corporations. Each Company
Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation
within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt by Parent or the Surviving Corporation from the Company
Indemnified Party of a request therefor.
50
(b) The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain,
and Parent shall cause the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation to
so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses
and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of any Company or any predecessor
thereof than are presently set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of such
Company.
(c) Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred
by the Company Indemnified Parties in connection with the enforcement of their rights provided in
this Section 7.03.
(d) The provisions of this Section 7.03 are intended to be in addition to the rights
otherwise available to the Company Indemnified Parties by law, charter, statute, by-law or
agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Company
Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.
7.04 Employee Matters. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall give each employee
of Parent or the Surviving Corporation who shall have been an employee of a Company immediately
prior to the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) full credit for prior service with the Company
for purposes of (a) eligibility under any Parent Employee Plans and (b) determination of benefit
levels under any Parent Employee Plan or policy relating to vacation or severance, in each case for
which the Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible and in which the Continuing Employee is offered
participation, but not where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition,
Parent shall waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to pre-existing
conditions to the same extent such limitations are waived under any comparable plan of a Company
and recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and
dental plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees in the calendar
year in which the Effective Time occurs. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Parent Employee
Plan” means any “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), any
“employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), and any other written or
oral plan, agreement or arrangement, including insurance coverage, severance benefits, disability
benefits, deferred compensation, bonuses, stock options, stock purchase, phantom stock, stock
appreciation or other forms of incentive compensation or post-retirement compensation and all
unexpired severance agreements, for the benefit of, or relating to, any current or former employee
of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.
Following the Effective Time, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide,
for twelve (12) months following the Closing, to those employees of the Company who continue to be
employed by the Company following the Closing, health benefits on terms generally as favorable to
such employees as currently provided by the Company’s health plan as in effect as of the date of
this Agreement.

relating to any Tax Return. The Stockholders’ Representatives and Parent shall cooperate in the
conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes involving the Business or the Merger.
Parent and the Surviving Corporation agree to maintain or arrange for the maintenance of all
records necessary to comply with this Section 9.01(a) for a period of seven (7) years from
the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be requested in writing by Stockholders’
Representative) and agree to afford the Stockholders’ Representatives reasonable access to such
records during normal business hours.
(b) Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns
for Holdings and its Subsidiaries for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are
filed after the Closing Date and all Tax Returns for any Straddle Period in a manner consistent
with past practice, except as required by applicable Law. Parent shall provide a draft of any such
Tax Return to the Stockholders’ Representatives no later than thirty-five (35) days prior to the
date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed (for the avoidance of doubt, including
extensions), except for Tax Returns due less than thirty-five (35) days after the close of the
relevant tax period. The Stockholder’s Representatives shall submit any comments the Stockholders’
Representatives may have on such Tax Return no later than five (5) days prior to the date in which
such Tax Return is required to be filed. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parent
shall prepare such Tax Returns in accordance with the Stockholders’ Representatives’ changes and
comments.
9.02 Tax Indemnification. Stockholders shall indemnify Parent and its affiliates and
hold them harmless from any against any liability resulting from or relating to (i) any Tax
attributable to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods imposed upon Holdings or its Subsidiaries, other than
any Taxes included in Schedule 2.03(b) or Taxes attributable to actions of the Parent on the
Closing Date after the Effective Time; (ii) any Tax of any member of an affiliated, consolidated,
combined, or unitary group of which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of the
foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury
Regulations section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or
regulation, (iii) all Taxes of any Person (other than Holdings and its Subsidiaries) imposed on
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any
law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring on or before the
Closing Date, and (iv) the inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, and
covenants set forth in Section 3.20 (Tax Matters), Section 6.07 (Tax Matters), and
Section 3.07(a)(vi) (with respect to Tax matters) of this Agreement.
9.03 Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, including Section 9.02
(Tax Indemnification), in the case of any Tax period that begins on or before and ends after the
Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in
the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, sales or use,
employment, or withholding, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period
ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of
53
days in the entire Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to
the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended as of the close of business on the
Closing Date.
9.04 Transfer Taxes. Parent shall be liable for 50% and the Stockholders shall be
liable for 50% of any and all Transfer Taxes. The applicable Parties shall cooperate in filing
such forms and documents as may be necessary to permit any such Transfer Taxes to be assessed and
paid on or prior to the Closing Date in accordance with any available pre sale filing procedure,
and to obtain any exemption or refund of any such Transfer Taxes.
9.05 FIRPTA Certificate. On or prior to the Closing Date, Holdings shall deliver to
Parent a duly authorized and executed certificate, sworn under penalty of perjury and in a form
consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3), certifying that the interests in
Holdings are not “U.S. real property interest”; provided that, if Holdings does not deliver such
certificate, Parent shall have the right to withhold from the Merger Consideration in accordance
with Section 1445 of the Code.
9.06 Refunds. If the Parent receives any refund of Taxes attributable to any
Pre-Closing Tax Period (along with any interest received on the account of such refund, the “Tax
Refund”), Parent shall pay in cash, within 10 days after receipt of the Tax Refund, as additional
Merger Consideration to each Stockholder and Optionholder an amount, with respect to each Holdings
Series A Preferred Share and Holdings Common Share held by such Stockholder immediately prior to
the Effective Time or each Holdings Common Share issuable upon the exercise of the Options held by
such Optionholder which are, or will be at the Closing, vested (or that automatically vest in
connection with the Merger), as the case may be, equal to the quotient of the Tax Refund divided by
the sum of (i) that number of Holdings Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time, (ii) that number of Holdings Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the
issued and outstanding Holdings Series A Preferred Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time
and (iii) that number of Holdings Common Shares that are subject to issuance upon the exercise of
Options vested (or that automatically vest in connection with the Merger) immediately prior to the
Effective Time.

notice by the terminating party to the other party), whether before or, subject to the terms
hereof, after receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval:
(a) by mutual written consent of Parent, MergerSub and Holdings; or
(b) by either Parent or Holdings if the Merger shall not have been consummated by June 30,
2011; or
(c) by either Parent or Holdings if a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have
issued a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other nonappealable final action,
in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
Merger; or
(d) by Parent, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of any Company set forth in this Agreement, which
breach or failure to perform (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 10.02(a)
or 10.02(b) not to be satisfied and (ii) shall not have been cured within 20 days following
receipt by Holdings of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from Parent; or
(e) by Holdings, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or MergerSub set forth in this Agreement,
which breach or failure to perform (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section
10.03(a) or 10.03(b) not to be satisfied and (ii) shall not have been cured within 20
days following receipt by Parent of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from
Holdings; or
(f) by Parent, if the Required Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained prior to
three (3) hours after the execution of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Parent is entitled to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 11.01(d), Parent shall have the right to proceed with the Merger and
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without waiving, or being deemed to have waived,
57
any rights it may have to recover damages or to make indemnity claims on account of the
events, circumstances or conditions giving rise to such right of termination.
11.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as
provided in Section 11.01, this Agreement shall immediately become void and there shall be
no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, the Companies, MergerSub or their respective
officers, directors, stockholders or Affiliates; provided that (a) any such termination shall not
relieve any Party from liability for damages (including, in the case of damages sought by Holdings,
damages based on the consideration payable to the Stockholders and Optionholders pursuant to this
Agreement) for any willful breach of this Agreement (including such Party’s obligation to close if
it was otherwise obligated to do so under the terms of this Agreement) and (b) the provisions of

Required Stockholder Approval, but, after receipt of the Required Stockholder Approval no amendment

approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of
each of the parties hereto.
ARTICLE XII
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
12.01 Survival.

indefinitely.

survive the Closing Date and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Boston time, on the date which is twelve
(12) months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”), except (i) as to any matter to which
Parent has made a claim for indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on or prior to
such date, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive the expiration of such
period (only for the purpose of such claim) until such claim is finally resolved and any
obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii)
with respect to the representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3.20
(Tax Matters), Section 3.03 (Capital Stock and Securities) and Section 3.21

respect thereto (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof).
58
(c) The representations and warranties of Parent contained in this Agreement, shall survive
the Closing Date and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Boston time, on the Expiration Date except as to
any matter to which Company or any Securityholder (as defined below) has made a claim for
indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on or prior to such date, in which case
such representation and warranty shall survive the expiration of such period (only for the purpose
of such claim) until such claim is finally resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are
fully satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof.
(d) Any investigation or other examination that may have been made or may be made at any time
by or on behalf of the Party to whom representations and warranties are made in this Agreement

information obtained by them in any investigation, examination or otherwise.
12.02 Indemnification of Parent. As a material inducement to Parent’s willingness to
enter into and perform this Agreement and its payment of the Merger Consideration, each Company
prior to the Closing, and each Stockholder and Optionholder (each a “Securityholder”), following
the Closing, severally and not jointly, shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article
XII, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent against any and all claims, losses, liabilities,
damages, deficiencies, interest and penalties, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, and expenses of investigation and defense (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and
collectively “Losses”) incurred or suffered by Parent, MergerSub or any Affiliate of Parent or
MergerSub as a result of or relating to:
(a) any misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty of any Company set forth
herein; or
(b) any breach or nonperformance of any covenants or agreements made by any Company in or
pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, however, that Parent shall not be indemnified under this Section

12.03 Indemnification of Holdings. As a material inducement to Holding’s willingness
to enter into and perform this Agreement, Parent shall, subject to the limitations set forth in

Securityholder, as a result of or relating to:
(a) any misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty of Parent or MergerSub set
forth herein; or
(b) any breach or nonperformance of any covenants or agreements made by Parent or MergerSub in
or pursuant to this Agreement.
59
12.04 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) Any Party seeking indemnification under Section 9.02, 12.02 or
12.03 (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice (the “Notice of
Claim”) to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of (i) any Loss in respect of which the
Indemnified Party has a duty to indemnify such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or (ii) the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third party for which indemnification may be
sought or if earlier upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party. The Notice of Claim,
in the case of clause (i) shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss for which
indemnification is sought, the section or sections of this Agreement to which the Notice of Claim
relates and the amount of the Loss for which indemnification is being sought, and in the case of
clause (ii) shall specify in reasonable detail the facts constituting the basis for the third-party
claim and the amount of Losses claimed; provided, however, that no delay or failure
on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party with a Notice of Claim
shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder, except to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of any third-party suit, action or
proceeding has been materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice;
provided further, however, that no Notice of Claim with respect to a breach of a representation or
warranty shall be given after the Expiration Date (for the representations and warranties that
terminate as of such date) or the expiration of the Surviving Representations as provided in
Section 12.01.
(b) If such Notice of Claim relates to any claim, suit, action, cause of action suit or
proceeding by a third party, the Indemnifying Party may upon written notice given to the
Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Notice
of Claim, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume
control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control such defense. The
Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that, if
the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and there exists a conflict of interest
between the interests of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and those of the Indemnified
Party, on the other hand, with respect to such claim, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel
satisfactory to it and to the Indemnifying Party and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to
the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered Losses for purposes of
this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be
responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Parent determines in
its reasonable judgment that there is a probability that a claim, suit, action or proceeding may
materially adversely affect (it being understood by the Parties that any action relating to alleged
misrepresentations or breach of Section 3.13, 3.22, 3.23 or 3.24
shall be deemed to “materially adversely affect”) Parent or Parent’s rights under this Agreement
other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement, then Parent may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive
right to defend, compromise, or settle such claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement provided that Parent conducts the defense
of such claim actively and diligently. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other
Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense
60
thereof and
shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.
(c) The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of any claim, suit, and action,
cause of action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to
any settlement of any claim, suit, action, cause of action or proceeding which does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a complete irrevocable
release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or which
requires action (or limits action) of the Indemnified Party other than the payment of money that
would be considered to be Losses under this Agreement.
(d) Within 30 days after delivery of a Notice of Claim that does not involve a third-party
claim, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which
the Indemnifying Party shall (A) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the
claimed Losses (in which case (x) if the Indemnifying Party is Parent, such response shall be
accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the claimed Losses,
by check or by wire transfer and (y) if the Indemnifying Party is the Securityholders, the
Stockholder Representative shall take such actions as are required pursuant to the Escrow Agreement
to cause the claimed Losses to be released to Parent from the Escrow Fund), (B) agree that the
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the claimed Losses (the “Agreed
Amount”) (in which case (x) if the Indemnifying Party is Parent, such response shall be accompanied
by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or
by wire transfer and (y) if the Indemnifying Party is the Securityholders, the Stockholder
Representative shall take such actions as are required pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to cause
the Agreed Amount to be released to Parent from the Escrow Fund) or (C) contest that the
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the claimed Losses. If the Indemnifying Party in
such response contests the payment of all or part of the claimed Losses, the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not
resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a
court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.06.
12.05 Methods of Payment; Limitations
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article XII and except in the case of claims
based on fraud, (i) the amount of Losses that may be recovered by Parent under Section 9.02 and
this Article XII shall not exceed the Escrow Amount and shall be payable solely out of the Escrow
Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (provided, however, that claims
under Section 12.02(a) with respect to the Surviving Representations or Section
9.02 shall not be limited to the Escrow Amount, and that Parent shall continue to be entitled
to indemnification under Sections 9.02 and 12.02(a) with respect to such claims
outside of the Escrow Fund only following such time as the Escrow Fund shall have been exhausted
through distributions to Parent and/or the Securityholders in accordance with this Agreement and
the Escrow Agreement); and (ii) Parent shall not be permitted to recover any Losses under
this
61
Article XII
(other than Losses under Section 12.02(a) with respect to the Surviving
Representations or under Section 9.02) until such Losses exceed $200,000, at which point
Parent shall recover such Losses in excess of $200,000. In the absence of fraud and except in the
case of any claims under Section 12.02(a) with respect to any of the Surviving
Representations or claims under Section 9.02, in no event shall any Securityholder have any
personal liability for any Losses and Parent’s sole recourse for any Losses shall be the Escrow
Fund.
(b) In the event Losses may be reimbursable through insurance proceeds, the following
procedure shall be applicable. The amount of the Losses shall initially be paid from the Escrow
Fund as if such Losses were not reimbursable through insurance. Parent shall use reasonable best
efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all insurance claims to which it may be
entitled in connection with any Losses it incurs, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other
in pursuing insurance claims with respect to any Losses, but shall not be obligated to commence
litigation with respect thereto unless the costs of such litigation are available from and advanced
out of the Escrow Fund. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by Parent with
respect to any Losses for which Parent has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the
aggregate amount of the recovery attributable to the claim which was paid from the Escrow Fund
shall be (net of previously unreimbursed litigation and collection costs) deposited into the Escrow
Fund and disbursed through the procedures otherwise applicable to the Escrow Fund;
provided, however, in no event shall the amount deposited into the Escrow Fund
exceed the amounts paid from the Escrow Fund with respect to such claim.
(c) If the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Losses as
a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as an
Affiliate of Parent) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the
Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Losses as a result of, and in connection with, such
inaccuracy or breach.
(d) From and after the date hereof, the indemnification provisions provided in this Article
XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Parties hereto and their Affiliates
with respect to any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the
Parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Agreement shall limit (i) any right or remedy for fraud, or (ii) any equitable
remedy, including a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance for such breaches,
including, without limitation, with respect to breaches of Article III, Article IV or Article V of
this Agreement.
(e) For purposes of this Article XII, (i) if the Securityholders comprise the Indemnifying
Party, any references to the Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to
make any payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholder Representative and (ii) if the
Securityholders comprise the Indemnified Party, any references to the Indemnified Party (except
provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments) shall be deemed to
refer to the Stockholder Representative.
62
12.06 Treatment. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be
treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, and the Parties agree to file
their Tax Returns accordingly.

Any party to this Agreement may give any notice or other communication hereunder using any
other means (including personal delivery, messenger service, ordinary mail or electronic mail), but

other Parties to this Agreement notice in the manner herein set forth.
13.02 Waivers.
(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be waived by a Party if the waiver is in writing and
signed by the Party to be bound. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach of the same term or condition or as a waiver of any other term or
condition of this Agreement.
(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 Law.
13.03 Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 2.03, all costs and expenses

13.05 Assignability; 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. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or
delegated by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, MergerSub may assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder without the prior
written consent of any other Party to any Affiliate of MergerSub.
13.06 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to
the principles of conflicts of Laws thereof. For the purposes of establishing the Parties’ rights
hereunder, each Party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the
jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts located in the
64
City of Boston and
the courts of the United States of America located in the City of Boston in connection with any
actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby (and each Party hereto agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding
relating thereto except in such courts). Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or
proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with
the foregoing sentence, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to
plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court
has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
13.07 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto
and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party
hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties hereto.
13.08 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto) constitute the
entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all
prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. No representation, statement, fact, inducement, promise,
understanding, condition or warranty not set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules
hereto) has been made or relied upon by either Party hereto.
13.09 Captions. The captions and titles contained herein are included for convenience
of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof.
13.10 Rules of Construction; Etc. The Parties agree that they have been represented
by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and,
therefore, waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in
an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or
document. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (i) words of any gender include
each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or
singular number, respectively; (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or
similar words refer to this entire Agreement; (iv) the terms “Article” or “Section” refer to the
specified Article or Section of this Agreement; (v) the word “including” shall mean “including,
without limitation;” and (vi) the word “or” shall be disjunctive but not exclusive; (vii) the word
“agreement” shall mean any contract, commitment or other agreement, whether oral or written, that
is legally binding. References to agreements and other documents shall be deemed to include all
subsequent amendments and other modifications thereto. References to statutes shall include all
regulations promulgated thereunder and references to statutes or regulations shall be construed as
including all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute
or regulation. The schedules and exhibits to this Agreement are a material part hereof and shall
be treated as if fully incorporated into the body of the Agreement. All accounting terms used
herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP.

13.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or
unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending
term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or
unenforceable, the
parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit
the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or
unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that
comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and
this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the
power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or
unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve,
to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable
term.
13.12 Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be
considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed
by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by
facsimile or .pdf transmission.
