quotient of (i) the aggregate Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder
Consideration payable at Closing to such Accredited Stockholder divided by
(ii) the aggregate Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration payable
at Closing to all Accredited Stockholders, rounded down to the nearest whole share
and (y) that amount of cash equal to the aggregate Applicable Per Share Closing
Equityholder Consideration payable at Closing to such Accredited Stockholder
less the product of (i) the number of Closing Shares to be issued
to such Accredited Stockholder and (ii) the Signing
Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate Applicable Per Share
Closing Equityholder Consideration payable at Closing to all Accredited
Stockholders is less than $8,000,000 (taking into account any reduction on account
of such Company Stockholder’s Escrow Percentage of the Escrow Amount), each
Accredited Stockholder shall receive Closing Shares with an aggregate value, valued
at the Signing Price, equal to the aggregate Applicable Per Share Closing
Equityholder Consideration payable at Closing to such Accredited Stockholder;
provided that in no event shall the aggregate value of all such Closing Shares,
valued at the Signing Price, exceed $8,000,000. The aggregate Applicable Per Share
Closing Equityholder Consideration payable at Closing to each Company Stockholder
that is not an Accredited Stockholder shall be paid in cash.
8
(ii) Company Options. At or before the Effective Time, the Company shall have
taken all necessary action, including, if necessary, obtaining the consent of any holder of
Company Options and the adoption of resolutions by the Board of Directors, to: (A)
terminate, as of the Effective Time, the Stock Plans, and (B) cancel, as of the Effective
Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised or unconverted, whether
vested (including Company Options that become vested as a result of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or unvested, in exchange for the right to
receive the payments described in Section 2.02(f)(iv)(F), subject to the terms and
conditions set forth therein. The amounts payable with respect to each Company Option
hereunder shall be paid on the same schedule and under the same terms and conditions as
apply to payments to Company Stockholders hereunder generally (taking into account
reductions on account of the Threshold Amount), and shall be paid in no event later than
five (5) years after the Effective Time.
(iii) Company Warrants. Each holder of a warrant to purchase shares of Series
A-1 Preferred Stock (a “Series A-1 Warrant”) that is outstanding as immediately
prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Warrantholder” and, collectively with
the Company Stockholders and the Company Optionholders, the “Company
Equityholders”) shall be entitled to receive, in full consideration of the cancellation
of all Series A-1 Warrants held by such holder:
(A) a lump-sum cash payment on the Closing Date equal to (x) the product of
(1) the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock the holder of each Series
A-1 Warrant would be entitled to purchase upon the exercise of such Series A-1
Warrant and (2) the Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration
applicable to a share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, less (y) the product
of (1) the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock the holder of each Series
A-1 Warrant would be entitled to purchase upon the exercise of such Series A-1
Warrant and (2) the per share exercise price of such Series A-1 Warrant,
less (z) the amount of such Company Warrantholder’s Escrow Percentage of
the Escrow Amount (a “Closing Date Warrant Cancellation Payment” and
collectively, the “Closing Date Warrant Cancellation Payments”);
(B) the right to receive such Company Warrantholder’s Equityholder Earn-Out
Percentage of the payments, if any, pursuant to Section 2.02 (subject to

cash disbursements made from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, as and when such disbursements are made.
At or before the Effective Time, the Company shall have taken all necessary action,
including, if necessary, obtaining the consent of any holder of any Company Warrants other
than Series A-1 Warrants (each, a “Out-of-the-Money Warrant”), to terminate, as of
or prior to the Effective Time all Out-of-the-Money Warrants.
(iv) Each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of
Company Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent
or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and
extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made
with respect thereto.
9
(v) Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged
for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value

common stock of Merger Sub shall then evidence ownership of the outstanding share of common
stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Adjustment and Distribution of Gross Closing Consideration. The “Gross
Closing Consideration” shall consist of (x) $32,172,000.00 in cash and (y) 397,990 shares of
Parent Common Stock (such amount to be adjusted appropriately for any reclassification,
recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares of Parent Common
Stock, or any stock dividend thereon, the “Closing Shares”). The Gross Closing
Consideration shall be adjusted and distributed in accordance with the terms of this Section
2.01(c).
(i) Company Transaction Expenses. Any Company Transaction Expenses incurred
or accrued by the Company in connection with the Merger on or prior to the Closing Date
shall be paid in cash from the Gross Closing Consideration on the Closing Date.
(ii) Verizon Payment. $3,500,000 of the Gross Closing Consideration

Closing Date to Verizon pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Cancellation Agreement dated
as of June 30, 2010 in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii) (the “Verizon Consent Agreement”) by and
between the Company and Verizon. In addition to the foregoing, Verizon shall also have the
right to receive its Escrow Percentage of any cash disbursements made from the Escrow Fund
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, as and when such
disbursements are made. For the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes under this Agreement
(i) the warrant held by Verizon to be cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Verizon
Consent Agreement shall not constitute a Company Warrant or Series A-1 Warrant and (ii)
Verizon shall not be a Company Warrantholder.
(iii) Warrant Cancellation Payments. Each Company Warrantholder shall be paid
from the Gross Closing Consideration, in the form of cash, the Closing Date Warrant
Cancellation Payments to which such Company Warrantholder is entitled under Section
2.01(b)(iii) from the Gross Closing Consideration on the Closing Date.
(iv) Working Capital.
(A) At least three (3) business days preceding the Closing Date, the Company
shall prepare and deliver to Parent a consolidated calculation of the estimated Net
Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing (the
“Estimated Net Working Capital”). The amount, if any, by which the
Estimated Net Working Capital is less than zero shall be referred to herein as the
“Estimated Deficiency Amount”. The Estimated Deficiency Amount shall
reduce the amount of Closing Equityholder Consideration in accordance with Section
2.01(c)(v) below.
10
(B) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Parent shall prepare and
deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a balance sheet and a schedule (the
“Final Net Working Capital Schedule”) which includes a consolidated
calculation of the Net Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of
the Closing.
(C) During the thirty (30) day period after the receipt of the Final Net
Working Capital Schedule, the Stockholders’ Representative may notify Parent in
writing, of any objections to such Final Net Working Capital Schedule, setting
forth a reasonably specific and detailed description of the objections (each, an
“Item of Working Capital Dispute”); provided, however, that the only basis
on which the Stockholders’ Representative shall be permitted to submit an Item of
Working Capital Dispute is that such Item of Working Capital Dispute was not
prepared in accordance with this Section 2.01(c)(iv) or contains
mathematical or clerical errors. If the Stockholders’ Representative does not
deliver such notice within such thirty (30) day period, the Final Net Working
Capital Schedule shall be final, binding and conclusive upon
Parent, the Company, the Stockholders’ Representative, the Earn-Out
Consideration Recipients and the Closing Consideration Recipients.
(D) If the Stockholders’ Representative provides a timely notice of objection
to the proposed Final Net Working Capital Schedule pursuant to subsection (C)
above, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt to amicably
resolve any Item of Working Capital Dispute by the end of a thirty (30) day review
period but in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter. If the parties are
unable to resolve any difference within such period, they shall promptly (within
fifteen (15) days thereafter) and jointly appoint an Independent CPA to resolve
each Item of Working Capital Dispute and make any resulting adjustments to the
Final Net Working Capital Schedule. The scope of the work assignment for the
Independent CPA shall be limited to the resolution of any Item of Working Capital
Dispute not previously resolved by the parties and be based solely on whether each
such unresolved Item of Working Capital Dispute was prepared in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or whether each such Item of Working Capital Dispute
contains a mathematical or clerical error or errors. No Item of Working Capital
Dispute shall be resolved such that the final amount determined by the Independent
CPA is more favorable to the Parent than the calculation(s) presented in the Final
Net Working Capital Schedule delivered by the Parent to the Stockholders’
Representative or more favorable to the Closing Consideration Recipients than the
calculation(s) presented in any unresolved Item of Working Capital Dispute
delivered by the Stockholders’ Representative. The resolution of each Item of
Working Capital Dispute by the Independent CPA and corresponding adjustments to the
Final Net Working Capital Schedule shall be final, binding and conclusive upon
Parent, the Company, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Closing Consideration
Recipients. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent CPA will be allocated
by the Independent CPA, in its sole discretion, between Parent, on the one hand,
and Closing Consideration Recipients, on the other hand, taking into account the
extent to which each Item of Working Capital Dispute was, or was not, resolved in
favor of the Closing Consideration Recipients.
11
(E) If the Final Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with
subsection (D) above) is less than zero (the amount of such deficiency, the
“Final Deficiency Amount”) and the absolute value of the Final Deficiency
Amount exceeds the absolute value of the Estimated Deficiency Amount, then Parent
shall be entitled to immediate recovery from the Escrow Fund in an amount equal to
(x) the difference between the Final Deficiency Amount and the Estimated Deficiency
Amount or (y) if the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than zero, the Final
Deficiency Amount.

Company Transaction Expenses paid pursuant to subsection (c)(i) above, less (C) the
Estimated Deficiency Amount, if any, less (D) the Verizon Warrant Cancellation
Payment, shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Equityholder Consideration”.

Consideration,” which shall be paid, in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(i)(B)
in the form of cash (the “Closing Cash Consideration”) and Closing Shares. The sum
of the Stockholder Closing Consideration plus the amount of the Verizon Warrant
Cancellation Payment plus the aggregate amount of the Closing Date Warrant

(vi) Escrow Amount. An amount of the Net Closing Consideration in cash equal
to the Escrow Amount shall, on the Closing Date, be deposited by the Parent with the Escrow
Agent in an escrow fund (with any interest earned thereupon, the “Escrow Fund”) for
the purpose of satisfying claims by Parent and Parent Indemnified Parties under Section
2.01(c)(iv)(E) or Article IX, as applicable, to be held and disbursed by the Escrow
Agent in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The portion of the Escrow
Amount contributed by the Parent with respect to each Closing Consideration Recipient shall
be made in accordance with the each Closing Consideration Recipient’s Escrow Percentage.
(vii) Changes in Parent Capital Stock. If, during the period between the date
hereof and the Effective Time, any change in the capital stock of Parent shall occur by
reason of reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or
readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period

respect of the calendar year ended December 31, 2011, shall be an amount equal to the product of
(i) .25, multiplied by (ii) the amount by which Total Revenue in respect of such calendar year

notice, reasonable access to all records, and on terms reasonably determined by Parent, the

(i) Within sixty (60) days following the end of the Earn-Out Period, the Parent shall
determine, in accordance with this Section 2.02, the sum of the Quarterly Earn-Out
Amounts earned in respect of each fiscal quarter during the Earn-Out Period and the
Additional Earn-Out Amount earned in respect of the calendar year ended December 31, 2011
(such sum, less any setoff to the extent provided in Article IX of this Agreement,
the “Aggregate Earn-Out Amount”) and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a
statement setting forth such Aggregate Earn-Out Amount and the calculation thereof (the
“Final Earn-Out Statement”).
(ii) Within thirty (30) days after delivery by Parent of the Final Earn-Out Statement
pursuant to subsection (f)(i) above, the Stockholders’ Representative may notify the Parent
in writing of any objections to the Final Earn-Out Statement setting forth a reasonably
specific and detailed description of the objections, including the amount disputed (each,
an “Item of Earn-Out Dispute”). If the Stockholders’ Representative does not

16
(iii) If the Stockholders’ Representative provides a notice of objection to the Final
Earn-Out Statement within the time periods specified in subsection (f)(ii) above, Parent
and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt to amicably resolve any such Item of
Earn-Out Dispute by the end of such period
but in no event later than fifteen (15) days thereafter. If the parties are unable to
resolve any difference within such period, they shall promptly and jointly appoint an
Independent CPA to resolve each such Item of Earn-Out Dispute and make any resulting
adjustments to the Final Earn-Out Statement. The scope of the work assignment for the
Independent CPA shall be limited to the resolution of any unresolved Item of Earn-Out
Dispute and shall be based solely on whether each such unresolved Item of Earn-Out Dispute
was prepared in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.02 or whether each such
Item of Earn-Out Dispute contains a mathematical or clerical error or errors. No Item of
Earn-Out Dispute shall be resolved such that the final amount determined by the Independent
CPA is more favorable to the Parent than the calculation(s) presented in the Final Earn-Out
Statement delivered by the Parent to the Stockholders’ Representative or more favorable to
the Earn-Out Consideration Recipients than the calculation(s) presented in any unresolved
Item of Earn-Out Dispute delivered by the Stockholders’ Representative. The resolution of
each Item of Earn-Out Dispute by the Independent CPA and the corresponding adjustments to
the Final Earn-Out Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Parent, the
Company, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Earn-Out Consideration Recipients. The
costs, fees and expenses of the Independent CPA will be allocated by the Independent CPA,
in its sole discretion, between Parent, on the one hand, and Earn-Out Consideration
Recipients, on the other hand, taking into account the extent to which each Item of
Earn-Out Dispute was, or was not, resolved in favor of the Earn-Out Consideration
Recipients.
(iv) Payment of the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount.
(A) Payment of the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount, if any, shall be made by Parent
within later of (i) thirty (30) days following such time as the Final Earn-Out
Statement becomes binding, final and conclusive and (ii) five (5) days following
the delivery by the Stockholders’ Representative to Parent of the Earn-Out
Consideration Schedule (the date of such payment, the “Earn-Out Payment
Date”) and shall be paid to the Earn-Out Consideration Recipients, at Parent’s
election, directly by Parent or by the Exchange Agent, and in either case, in
accordance with a schedule of payments (the “Earn-Out Consideration
Schedule”) prepared by the Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with the
Final Earn-Out Statement and this Section 2.02(f)(iv) and delivered to
Parent prior to the Earn-Out Payment Date. The Earn-Out Consideration Schedule
shall set forth the name of each Earn-Out Consideration Recipient, that portion of
the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount payable to such party in cash and that number of
Earn-Out Shares to be issued to such party (subject to subsection (H)(iii) below).
For the purposes of the indemnification obligations of the Company Participants
under Article IX hereof, the delivery of the Earn-Out Consideration
Schedule to Parent shall constitute a representation (deemed made by the Company
under Section 3.04 hereof) that the allocation of the type and amount of
the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount among the Earn-Out
Consideration Recipients conforms with this Section 2.02(f)(iv), the
requirements of applicable Law, including the DGCL and the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Payment of
the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount is subject to Parent’s right of setoff to the extent
provided in Article IX of this Agreement.
17
(B) Parent shall pay to Verizon, in cash, an amount equal to (i) the Verizon
Earn-Out Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount (the
“Verizon Earn-Out Payment”).
(C) Parent shall pay to Mooreland, in cash, an amount equal to (i) the
Mooreland Earn-Out Percentage multiplied by (ii) the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount (the
“Mooreland Earn-Out Payment”, and the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount less the
Mooreland Earn-Out Payment less the Verizon Earn-Out Payment being referred to
herein as the “Net Earn-Out Amount”).
(D) The Net Earn-Out Amount shall be paid by Parent to the Earn-Out
Consideration Recipients other than Verizon and Mooreland in the form of cash and
shares of Parent Common Stock, valued at the Signing Price, in amounts as follows:
a. that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (A) the
product of 0.5 multiplied by the Net Earn-Out Amount, divided
by (B) the Signing Price, rounded to the nearest whole share (such
number, the “Net Earn-Out Share Number” and such shares, the
“Earn-Out Shares”).
b. that amount of cash equal to (A) the Net Earn-Out Amount less (B)
the product of the Net Earn-Out Share Number multiplied by the
Signing Price (such cash amount, the “Net Earn-Out Cash Amount”).
c. If, during the period between the date hereof and the Earn-Out
Payment Date, any change in the capital stock of Parent shall occur by
reason of reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination,
exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a
record date during such period or any similar event, the Signing Price
shall be correspondingly equitably adjusted to the extent appropriate to
reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification,
recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares.
18
(E) Subject to this subsection (E), subsection (F) and subsection (H) below,
each Company Equityholder shall receive (x) that number of Earn-Out Shares equal to
(i) the Net Earn-Out Share Number, multiplied by (ii) such Company Equityholder’s
Equityholder Earn-Out
Percentage, rounded to the nearest whole share, and (y) that amount of cash
equal to (i) the Net Earn-Out Cash Amount, multiplied by (ii) such Company
Equityholder’s Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage, rounded to the nearest whole cent;
provided, however, in the event that the Remaining Preference
Amount is greater than zero, Parent shall first pay to the holders of shares of
Company Preferred Stock, 50% in cash and 50% in Earn-Out Shares (valued at the
Signing Price, and rounded to the nearest whole share), an amount equal to the
Remaining Preference Amount as follows:
a. Parent shall pay to each holder of a share of Series D Preferred
Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) a per
share amount equal to the Series D Preference Amount less the
Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration paid to such
Company Equityholder on account of such share of Series D Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i) (without regard to any
reduction in such amount on account of the Escrow Amount);
b. Parent shall pay to each holder of a share of Series C Preferred
Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) a per
share amount equal to the Series C Preference Amount less the
Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration paid to such
Company Equityholder on account of such share of Series C Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i) (without regard to any
reduction in such amount on account of the Escrow Amount);
c. Parent shall pay to each holder of a share of Series B Preferred
Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) a per
share amount equal to the Series B Preference Amount less the
Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration paid to such
Company Equityholder on account of such share of Series B Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i) (without regard to any
reduction in such amount on account of the Escrow Amount); and
d. Parent shall pay to each holder of a share of Series A Preferred
Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) a per
share amount equal to the Series A Preference Amount less the
Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration paid to such
Company Equityholder on account of such share of Series A Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i) (without regard to any
reduction in such amount on account of the Escrow Amount).
In the event that the value of the cash and Earn-Out Shares (valued at the
Signing Price) payable or issuable pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(iv)(E) are
less than the Remaining Preference Amount, the payments described in the foregoing
proviso shall be made to the holders of Company Preferred Stock ratably in
proportion to the applicable Preference Amounts of such series of Company Preferred
Stock. Any payments on account of the Remaining Preference Amount pursuant to this
subsection 2.02(f)(iv)(E) shall reduce the amount of cash payable and
Earn-Out Shares issuable to each Company Equityholder pursuant to subsection
2.02(f)(iv)(E) ratably in proportion to such Company Equityholder’s
Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage.
19
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any holder
of a share of Series C Preferred Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time) receive from the Net Earn-Out Amount more than (i) $0.4912 per
share of Series C Preferred Stock less (ii) the amount paid at the Closing
(including any amount comprising a portion of the Escrow Amount) in respect of each
share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Cap”), and in no event
shall any holder of a share of Series D Preferred Stock (determined as of
immediately prior to the Effective Time) receive from the Net Earn-Out Amount more
than (i) $0.7430 per share of Series D Preferred Stock less (ii) the amount
paid at the Closing (including any amount comprising a portion of the Escrow
Amount) in respect of each share of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D
Cap”). If the Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage of the Net Earn-Out Amount
otherwise payable to each holder of a share of Series C Preferred Stock or each
holder of Series D Preferred Stock, in each case, on account of such shares of
Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, would exceed the Series C
Cap or the Series D Cap, as applicable, then such amount, in each case, solely on
account of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, in
excess of the Series C Cap or the Series D Cap, as applicable, shall be
redistributed to the Company Equityholders in proportion to the amount their
respective Equityholder Earn-Out Percentages bears to the Equityholder Earn-Out
Percentages of all Company Equityholders (excluding for this purpose the portion of
any Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage attributable to shares of Series C Preferred
Stock or Series D Preferred Stock that have received an amount of the Net Earn-Out
Amount equal to their Series C Cap or Series D Cap, respectively).
(F) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Company Optionholder
shall be entitled to receive any payments, Earn-Out Shares or other amounts
pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(iv)(E) on account of Company Options held by
such Company Optionholder immediately prior to the Effective Time unless and until
such time as the Common Stock Equivalent Earn-Out Amount exceeds the Threshold
Amount attributable to the Company Options held by such Company Optionholder
immediately prior to the Effective Time, at which point such Company
Optionholder shall only be entitled to receive an amount equal to (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Company Options held by such
Company Optionholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by
(ii) the amount by which the Common Stock Equivalent Earn-Out Amount exceeds the
Threshold Amount attributable to such Company Options outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time. To the extent that a Company Optionholder held Company
Options with more than one associated Threshold Amount, the foregoing calculations
shall be made on a Company Option-by-Company Option basis. The difference between
each Company Optionholder’s Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage of the Net Earn-Out
Amount and the amount of cash or value of Earn-Out Shares payable or issuable under
this Section 2.02(f)(iv)(F) shall be redistributed to the Company
Stockholders and Company Warrantholders in proportion to the amount their
respective Equityholder Earn-Out Percentages bears to the Equityholder Earn-Out
Percentages of all Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholders.
20
(G) Subject to subsection (H) below, each Earn-Out Eligible Employee shall
receive (x) that number of Earn-Out Shares equal to (i) the Net Earn-Out Share
Number, multiplied by (ii) such Earn-Out Eligible Employee’s Employee Earn-Out
Percentage, rounded to the nearest whole share, and (y) that amount of cash equal
to (i) the Net Earn-Out Cash Amount, multiplied by (ii) such Earn-Out Eligible
Employee’s Employee Earn-Out, rounded to the nearest whole cent.
(H) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any Earn-Out Eligible
Employee that is no longer an employee of the Parent or any subsidiary thereof as
of the Earn-Out Payment Date as a result of his or her voluntary resignation or
Termination for Cause shall not be entitled to receive any payments pursuant to
this Section 2.02 and, in lieu thereof, such payments shall be paid by
Parent to the Earn-Out Eligible Employees who remain employees of the Parent or any
subsidiary thereof as of the Earn-Out Payment Date in proportion to the amount
their respective Employee Earn-Out Percentage bears to the Employee Earn-Out
Percentage of all Earn-Out Eligible Employees who remain employees of the Parent or
any subsidiary thereof as of the Earn-Out Payment Date (“Employee Residual
Sharing Percentage”), (ii) any Earn-Out Eligible Employee that is no longer an
employee of the Parent or any subsidiary thereof as of the Earn-Out Payment Date as
a result of his or her termination by the Company other than a Termination for
Cause shall only be entitled to receive a pro rated portion of the Aggregate
Earn-Out Amount otherwise payable to such Earn-Out Eligible Employee based upon the
actual number of calendar days that such Earn-Out Eligible Employee was an employee
of the Parent or any subsidiary during the Earn-Out Period (and the remainder of
such amount shall be distributed to the Earn-Out Eligible Employees who remain
employees of the Parent or
any subsidiary thereof as of the Earn-Out Payment Date in proportion to their
respective Employee Residual Sharing Percentages), and (iii) any Earn-Out
Consideration Recipient that (x) is not an Accredited Investor or (y) has not
executed and delivered to Parent, no later than ninety (90) days subsequent to the
Effective Time (or such other time as requested by Parent following any change to
the legal qualifications for being an Accredited Investor), an Investment
Representation Letter representing to such party’s status as an Accredited
Investor, shall not be issued any Earn-Out Shares and, in lieu thereof, shall
receive that amount of cash equal to such number of Earn-Out Shares such person was
otherwise entitled to receive, multiplied by the Signing Price.
(g) Continuity of Obligations. In the event that, during the Earn-Out Period, there
is consummated a transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which (i) all or
substantially all of the assets used in the Business of the Company are sold or transferred to a
non-affiliate of Parent, or (ii) Parent, together with the affiliates thereof, ceases to hold,
directly or indirectly, a majority of the equity interests of the Surviving Corporation (whether by
merger, consolidation, acquisition of equity interests or all or substantially all of the assets of
the Surviving Corporation or otherwise, a “Divestiture”), proper provision shall be made so
that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume the
obligations set forth in this Section 2.02 and agree to be bound by the terms hereof to the
same extent as Parent.
21
(h) Conduct of Business. Parent acknowledges that the possibility of receiving all or
a portion of the amount provided for in this Section 2.02 comprises a material inducement
for the Company and Earn-Out Consideration Recipients to enter into this Agreement and consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby. During the Earn-Out Period, Parent agrees and covenants that
Parent shall (A) maintain true, complete and accurate books and records relating to the subject
matter of this Section 2.02, which it shall make available for review by the Stockholders’
Representative and its Representatives to the extent provided for, and on the terms and conditions
set forth in, Section 2.02(e) hereof, (B) operate the Business of the Company in good faith
and not in a manner intended to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount and (C) operate
the Business of the Company in the ordinary course of business designed to achieve an Operating
Margin of at least the Target Operating Margin; provided, however, that if the Operating Margin for
any individual fiscal quarter is below the Target Operating Margin, or is reasonably forecasted
(such reasonableness to be evaluated in the context of the prior results of the operation of the
Business of the Company by Parent and by the Company prior to the Effective Time, and the accuracy
of prospective forecasts of such results) by the general manager in charge of the operation of the
Business of the Company (the “GM”, it being agreed that the individual indicated with a “†”
on Schedule 7.02(f) shall be the GM for so long as such individual is employed by Parent)
to be below the Target Operating Margin, Parent’s chief executive officer and/or
president (the “CEO”) and the GM will work together to identify cost (or revenue)
adjustments anticipated to result in an Operating Margin of at least the Target Operating Margin
for future fiscal quarters unless such parties collectively agree that not making any such
adjustments is in the best interest of Parent; provided, further that if such parties are
unable to agree upon such adjustments after three (3) days of good faith discussions, Parent
shall no longer be obligated to operate the Business of the Company in the ordinary course of
business and the CEO shall be able to make any adjustments with respect to the Business of the
Company as reasonably determined by the CEO to be necessary or desirable to accomplish the goal of
achieving an Operating Margin of at least the Target Operating Margin. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, during any one fiscal quarter during the Earn-Out Period in which the Operating Margin
is below the Target Operating Margin, the CEO and the GM will work together to identify cost (or
revenue) adjustments anticipated to result in an Operating Margin of the Target Operating Margin or
greater and, provided that the Operating Margin for such fiscal quarter is at least equal to the
product of 0.6 and the Target Operating Margin, the Stockholders’ Representative may request in
writing to Parent that the fact that the Operating Margin for such fiscal quarter is below the
Target Operating Margin shall not release Parent from the obligations to operate the Business of
the Company in the ordinary course of business pursuant to clause (C) above (it being understood
that such request may only be made in respect of a single fiscal quarter during the Earn-Out
Period).

SECTION 2.03 Exchange of Certificates; Closing Payments.
(a) Exchange Procedures.
(i) From and after the Effective Time, a bank or trust company designated by Parent,
and reasonably acceptable to the Stockholders’ Representative, shall act as exchange agent
(the “Exchange Agent”) in effecting the exchange of the certificates which
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock
(“Company Share Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive
Closing Cash Consideration or Closing Shares comprising the Transaction Consideration
described in Section 2.01(b)(i). Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to make
available to the Stockholders’ Representative, at least five (5) days prior to the Closing
Date, a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in a form approved by
Parent and the Company, including instructions for use in surrendering such Company Share
Certificates and receiving the applicable portion of the Transaction Consideration. As
promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than three (3)
business days following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail a Letter of
Transmittal to each record holder of Company Stock who has not previously submitted a
Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent.
(ii) On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule of payments
(the “Closing Consideration Schedule”) prepared in accordance with Section
2.01 above and setting forth the name of each Closing Consideration Recipient, the
amount of Net Closing Consideration payable on the Closing Date to such party in the form
of cash, the number of Closing Shares to be issued to such party and such party’s Escrow
Percentage.
(iii) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall transfer to the Exchange Agent
by direct wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the portion of
the Gross Closing Consideration to be paid in cash less the Estimated Deficiency Amount and
shall cause to be made by the Exchange Agent, the following payments (collectively, the
“Closing Payments”) by direct wire transfer of immediately available funds: (A) to
the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the Escrow Amount, to be held in an escrow account, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (B) to the payees
thereof, the Company Transaction Expenses to be paid as of the Closing Date, as set forth
on Schedule 2.01(a)(ix) hereof (as updated to include final amounts for previously
estimated items and additional items constituting Company Transaction Expenses and not set
forth on such schedule), (C) to Verizon, the Verizon Warrant Cancellation Payment, as set
forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule and (D) to the Company Warrantholders, the
Closing Date Warrant Cancellation Payments (less the Company Warrantholders’ aggregate
Escrow Percentage of the Escrow Amount), as set forth on the Closing Consideration
Schedule. The balance of such funds transferred by Parent to the Exchange Agent shall be
distributed by the Exchange Agent to the holders of Company Stock as the cash portion of
Stockholder Closing Consideration (less the Company Stockholders’ aggregate Escrow
Percentage of the Escrow Amount) in accordance with the terms hereof as set forth on the
Closing Consideration Schedule.
23
(iv) Upon the surrender of each Company Share Certificate for cancellation to the
Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, (A) Parent shall
cause to be issued to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in exchange therefor a
separate stock certificate representing the number of Closing Shares, if any, to be issued
to such Company Stockholder and (B) the Exchange Agent shall pay to the holder of such
Company Share Certificate in exchange therefor the amount of Stockholder Closing
Consideration to be paid to such Company Stockholder in cash in accordance with Section
2.01(b)(i)(A)(i), and the Company Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be
cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any holder of Company Stock who
has surrendered each of its Company Share Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange
Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, at least two (2) days
prior to the Closing Date, within two (2) business days following the Closing Date, (X)
Parent shall cause to be issued to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in exchange
therefor a separate stock certificate or evidence representing the number of Closing
Shares, if any, to be issued to such Company Stockholder and (Y) the Exchange Agent shall
pay to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in exchange therefor the amount of
Stockholder Closing Consideration to be paid to such Company Stockholder in cash in
accordance with Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i).
(v) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock that is not
registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable Closing Shares may be
issued to a person other than the person in
whose name the Company Share Certificate so surrendered is registered, if the Company
Share Certificate representing such shares of Company Stock is presented to Parent or the
Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer
and evidence that (A) the shares are transferable and (B) any applicable stock transfer
taxes have been paid.
(vi) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article II, each Company Share
Certificate shall, subject to appraisal rights under the DGCL (and if the Company is
subject to Section 2115 of the California Corporations Code, Chapter 13 of the
California Corporations Code) and Section 2.05, be deemed at any time after the
Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the portion of the
Transaction Consideration payable in respect of the Company Stock represented by such
Company Share Certificate pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i) hereof, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(b) Escrow Fund. Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, the Stockholders’
Representative and Parent shall enter into an escrow agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to
Parent, Company and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Escrow Agreement”) with an
escrow agent jointly selected by Parent and the Company (the “Escrow Agent”). At the
Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent shall deposit the Escrow
Amount into an escrow account, which account is to be managed by the Escrow Agent. Distributions
of any Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the
Escrow Agreement. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company
Stockholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all the arrangements relating
thereto, including, without limitation, the placement of the Escrow Amount in escrow and the
appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative. Parent shall be treated as the owner of the
Escrow Fund, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the
Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Parent pursuant to Section
468B(g) of the
24
Code
and Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8. If and to the extent
any amount of the Escrow Fund is actually distributed to the holders of Company Stock immediately
prior to the Closing, interest may be imputed on such amount, as required by Section 483 or
1274 of the Code. In no event shall the total amount of the Escrow Fund and any interest
and earnings earned thereon paid to the Company Equityholders immediately prior to the Closing
under this Agreement exceed $4,500,000. The preceding sentence is intended to ensure that the
right of the Company Equityholders immediately prior to the Closing to the Escrow Fund and any
interest and earnings earned thereon is not treated as a contingent payment without a stated
maximum selling price under Section 453 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder. All parties hereto shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03 (b)(i).
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Parent Shares. No dividends or other
distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Closing Shares with a
record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Share
Certificate with respect to the Closing Shares
represented thereby until the holder of such Company Share Certificate shall surrender such
Company Share Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.03.
(d) No Further Rights in Company Stock. The Transaction Consideration provided for in
Section 2.01(b)(i) upon the conversion of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued or payable in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such shares of Company Stock.
(e) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion and exchange of
Company Share Certificates, and no holder of Company Share Certificates shall be entitled to
receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock.
(f) No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any
holder of shares of Company Stock for any such shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or
distributions with respect thereto) or cash properly and legally delivered to a public official
pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law (as defined in Section 3.06(a)).
(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and
Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant
to this Agreement to any Company Participants such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold
with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax (as defined in Section
3.15(bb)) Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving
Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been
paid. The parties make no representations or warranties to any Company Participant regarding the
tax treatment of the Merger, or any of the tax consequences to the Company or any Company
Participant of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby.
25
(h) Lost Certificates. If any Company Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen
or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company
Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the
execution by such person of an indemnity agreement against any claim that may be made against it or
Parent with respect to such Company Share Certificate, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Share Certificate, the applicable Closing Cash
Consideration or Closing Shares (and dividends or other distributions on Closing Shares pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)) to which such person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this
Article II.
(i) Return of Transaction Consideration. Any portion of the Transaction Consideration
that remains unclaimed by the former stockholders of the Company for nine (9) months after the end
of the Earn-Out Period shall be delivered to
Parent. Any former stockholder of the Company that has not complied with this Section
2.03 prior to the end of such nine (9) month period shall thereafter look only to the Parent
(subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) but only as a general creditor
thereof for payment of its claim for the Transaction Consideration. If any Company Share
Certificates shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date that such unclaimed
Transaction Consideration would otherwise become subject to any abandoned property, escheat or
similar Law, any unclaimed Transaction Consideration payable with respect to such Company Share
Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free
and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
SECTION 2.04 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of
the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of
Company Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the
holders of certificates representing shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Stock, except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.
SECTION 2.05 Dissenting Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock
that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who
have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company Stock in accordance with
the DGCL (and, if the Company is subject to Section 2115 of the California Corporations
Code, such rights as may be granted to such persons in Chapter 13 of the California Corporations
Code) (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the
right to receive the applicable portion of the Transaction Consideration under Sections
2.01 or 2.02. Such stockholders shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted
by the DGCL (and, if the Company is subject to Section 2115 of the California Corporations
Code, such rights as may be granted to such persons in Chapter 13 of the California Corporations
Code) to a holder of Dissenting Shares, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or
effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL (or, if applicable,
Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code). All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who
shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to
appraisal of such shares of Company Stock under the DGCL (or, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the
California Corporations Code) shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have
become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable portion of
the Transaction Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon the surrender, in the manner
provided in Section 2.03, of the corresponding Company Share Certificate, assuming the full
amount of Closing Equityholder Consideration due in respect of such Company Share Certificate was
comprised of Closing Cash Consideration.
26
(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by
the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the
DGCL (or, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code) and received by the
Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to
demands for appraisal under the DGCL (or, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the California Corporations
Code). The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment
with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
SECTION 2.06 Notices.
(a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure, promptly after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the delivery of the Written Consent, which shall constitute all
requisite approvals by holders of Company Stock of the Agreement and the Merger.
(b) The Company shall deliver the Preliminary Closing Consideration Schedule no less than
three (3) days prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Promptly, but in no event later than three (3) business days after the date of the Written
Consent, the Company shall mail notice to the Company Stockholders of the approval by the Company
Stockholders of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby,
pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, including Section
228(e), and the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws (the “Stockholder
Notices”).
(d) Promptly, but in no event later than seven (7) business days after the date of the Written
Consent, the Company shall provide to each Company Stockholder whose consent was not obtained a
copy of the notice required pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and, if applicable,
Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code) informing them that appraisal rights are available
for their shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the
California Corporations Code) along with such other information as required by Section 262
of the DGCL and applicable Law (the “Section 262 Notice”).
(e) The Section 262 Notice, including any amendments or supplements thereto, shall be subject
to review and approval by Parent.
(f) Each party shall provide to the other any information for inclusion in preparation for any
Written Consent or Stockholder Notices that may be required by Law and that is reasonably requested
by the other party.
27

The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that the statements
contained in this Article III are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement (except
for any such representation and warranty that expressly is made as of a specific date, which such
representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such date), subject to such
qualifications as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and
Merger Sub concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure
Schedule”). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged according to specific sections
in this Article III and shall provide exceptions to, or otherwise qualify in reasonable
detail, the corresponding section in this Article III and any other section hereof where it
is clear and readily apparent, upon a reading of such disclosure without any independent knowledge
on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed, that the disclosure would apply to such
other section.
SECTION 3.01
Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has
all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and otherwise hold and operate its
properties and other assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company
is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in
each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the
nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to

to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below).
Section 3.01 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth each jurisdiction where the
Company is qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation and each other jurisdiction in which the
Company owns, uses, licenses or leases real property or has employees or engages independent

are inconsistent with the representations or warranties made by the Company and its Subsidiaries in
this Agreement) that is, or would reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate,
materially adverse to the business, operations, financial condition, properties, assets (tangible
or intangible), liabilities, capitalization or results of operations of the Company and the
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for any such events, changes, circumstances or effects
resulting from or arising in connection with (i) any changes in general economic, market or
business conditions that do not disproportionately impact the Company relative to other
participants in the Company’s industry, (ii) any changes or events affecting the industry in which
the Company operates that do not disproportionately impact the Company relative to other
participants in the Company’s industry, (iii) changes in any applicable Law or U.S. GAAP or
international accounting standards that do not disproportionately impact the Company relative to
other participants in Company’s industry, (iv) changes caused by hostilities, acts of terrorism or
war, or any material escalation of any such hostilities, acts of terrorism or war existing on the
date hereof that do not disproportionately impact the Company relative to other participants in
Company’s industry, (v) the announcement, negotiation, existence or performance of this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including the loss or departure of employees or adverse developments in relationships with
customers, suppliers, distributors, or other business partners), but not including, for the
avoidance of doubt, any breach or violation of a contract resulting from the Company’s execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or (vi) the taking of any action required by this Agreement or that an authorized
representative of Parent has requested, or expressly consented to, in writing.

outstanding equity securities of each Subsidiary and a list of the holders thereof; (iii) the
jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary; (iv) the name of the officers and directors of

(b) Each Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each Subsidiary is duly qualified or

business as it is now being conducted and as
currently proposed to be conducted and to own, lease and otherwise use the assets and
properties owned and used by it. The Company has made available to the Parent complete and

issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. All shares of each Subsidiary are
held of record or owned beneficially by either the Company or another Subsidiary and are held or
owned free and clear of any restriction on transfer (other than restrictions under federal or state
securities laws), claim, security interest, option, warrant, right, lien, call, commitment, equity

providing for the issuance, disposition or acquisition of any capital stock of any Subsidiary.
There are no outstanding stock appreciation, phantom stock or similar rights with respect to any
Subsidiary. There are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or understandings with respect
to the voting of any capital stock of any Subsidiary.

company, joint venture, trust or other business association which is not a Subsidiary. There are

Disclosure Schedule, neither the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor
any action taken or to be taken by Company in connection with such transactions, will result in (y)
any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, whether or not contingent on the occurrence of any
event after consummation of the Merger, in favor of any optionee under any Company Option; or (z)
any additional benefits for any
optionee under any Company Option. Each Company Option outstanding as of immediately prior to

in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are
issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The holders of
Company Options and Company Warrants have been or will be given, or shall have properly waived, any
required notice of the Merger prior to the Effective Time, and all such rights, if any, will
terminate at or prior to the Effective Time.
(e) The Company does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations
the holders of which have the right to vote (or which are convertible into or exercisable for
securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of the Company on any matter.
(f) All of the securities offered, sold or issued by the Company (i) have been offered, sold
or issued in compliance with the requirements of the Federal securities laws and any applicable
state securities or “blue sky” laws and (ii) are not subject to any preemptive right, right of

(g) The Company has never repurchased, redeemed or otherwise reacquired any shares of capital
stock or other securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than unvested securities in the
ordinary course upon termination of employment or consultancy. There are no outstanding
contractual obligations of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any share of
capital stock of, or other equity interest in, the Company. Except as provided in the Fourth
Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated March 30, 2006, as amended (which agreement will be
terminated prior to the Effective Time and have no further effect after the Effective
Time), the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and as set forth in Section

Company and the Subsidiaries reflected on the Reference Balance Sheet are valid receivables subject

after the date on which they first became due and payable), net of the applicable reserve for bad
debts on the Reference Balance Sheet. All accounts receivable reflected in the financial or
accounting records of the Company and the Subsidiaries that have arisen since the date of the
Reference Balance Sheet are valid receivables subject to no setoffs or counterclaims and are

hereunder. Allowances for doubtful accounts and warranty returns have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with Company’s past practices. Section

amended to date, or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license,
permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party,

“D&O Indemnified Parties”) provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws
or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof shall continue in full force and effect for a period
of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
SECTION 8.01 Termination. Other than as provided in Section 8.02, this
Agreement may be terminated and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding any requisite

under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective
Time to occur on or before the Outside Date;

Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Sections
7.02(a) and 7.02(b) could not reasonably be expected to be satisfied prior to the
Outside Date (“Terminating Company Breach”); provided, however, that, if
such Terminating Company Breach is curable by the Company through the exercise of its commercially
reasonable efforts and for so long as the Company continues to exercise such commercially
reasonable efforts, Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(d)
unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof is provided by Parent
to the Company (but no cure period is required for a breach which, by its nature, cannot be cured);
(e) by the Company upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement on the part of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, or if any
representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in either case such
that the conditions set forth in Sections 7.03(a) and 7.03(b) could not reasonably
be expected to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date (“Terminating Parent Breach”);
provided, however, that, if such Terminating Parent Breach is curable by Parent and
Merger Sub through the exercise of their respective commercially reasonable efforts and for so long

not terminate this
Agreement under this Section 8.01(e) unless such breach is not cured within thirty
(30) days after notice thereof is provided by the Company to Parent (but no cure period is required
for a breach which, by its nature, cannot be cured); or
75
(f) by Parent at any time within two (2) and five (5) business days of the date hereof, if the
Agreement and the Merger has not been approved and adopted as provided herein pursuant to the

pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, there shall be no
liability under this Agreement on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their
respective affiliates, officers or directors, and all rights and obligations of each party hereto
shall cease; provided, however, that (i) Section 6.01(b), Section
6.07, Section 8.02, and Article X shall remain in full force and effect and
survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party from
liability for the willful breach of any of its representations or warranties or the breach of any
of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may
(a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto,
(b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document
delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained

Capital;
(vii) any claims for indemnification or expense reimbursement by or in respect of any
current or former officer, director or agent of the Company with respect to any matter

each case, in excess of the amounts, if any, recoverable under the D&O Tail Policy; or
(viii) defending any third-party claim alleging the occurrence of facts or

Losses actually incurred or sustained by any of the Parent Indemnified Parties in the absence of
claims by third parties.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect
to (1) claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation or misconduct, (2) any Losses for
which indemnification may be sought pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i) for breaches of

indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable under Section 9.02(a) and arising out of or
resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 9.02(a) shall be payable until such
time as all such indemnifiable Losses shall aggregate to more than $250,000, after which
time the Company Participants shall be liable in full for all indemnifiable Losses
(including the first $250,000); provided, however that the Company Participants shall be
liable in full for all indemnifiable Losses arising out of or resulting from the causes
enumerated under Section 9.02(a)(vi) without regard to any minimum aggregate
amount;
78
(ii) No Company Participant shall be responsible or obligated to provide

(iii) the aggregate amount of indemnification available under Section 9.02(a)
shall be limited to the amount of the Escrow Fund, and the Escrow Fund shall be the sole
and exclusive source of any recovery pursuant to Section 9.02(a).

Special Losses:
(i) The aggregate indemnification to be provided by the Company Participants with
respect to Special Losses arising under Section 9.02(c)(3) above shall not exceed
$6,000,000 in excess of the Escrow Fund (as reduced from time to time by payments to the
Parent Indemnified Parties on account of indemnifiable claims);
(ii) Parent shall first satisfy any claim with respect to Special Losses in full out
of the Escrow Fund before seeking indemnification (A) through the right of setoff set

(v) the aggregate maximum liability of any Company Participant for any and all Losses,
including Special Losses (other than those based fraud or intentional misrepresentation or
misconduct), shall be limited to the value of the Transaction Consideration such Company
Participant actually received pursuant to this Agreement (valued at the date of such
receipt). Nothing contained in this Article IX shall be deemed to limit or
restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which the Parent Indemnified Parties have, or
might have, at Law, in equity or otherwise, based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation
or misconduct.
79
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to any
indemnity under Section 9.02(a) relating to any breach of a representation or warranty in
Section 3.15, a Parent Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for Losses with respect
to Taxes shall be limited to Taxes attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) of the
Company or any Subsidiary ending on or prior to the Closing Date.
SECTION 9.03 Indemnification of Stockholder Indemnified Parties. After the Effective Time, each Company Participant and its affiliates, officers, directors,
managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnified
Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent for any and all Losses suffered,
incurred or paid by them, arising out of or resulting from:
(a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub in
the Acquisition Documents; and
(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub in the Acquisition
Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification payment by Parent with respect to any
indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable under Section 9.03 and arising out of or resulting
from the causes enumerated in Section 9.03 shall be payable until such time as all such
indemnifiable Losses shall aggregate to more than $250,000, after which time Parent shall be liable
in full for all indemnifiable Losses (including the first $250,000). The aggregate maximum
liability of Parent for any and all Losses pursuant this Section 9.03 shall be limited to
value of the total Net Closing Consideration actually paid pursuant to this Agreement (valued as of
the date of such payment).
SECTION 9.04 Calculation of Losses.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, and subject to the other limitations set forth in this
Article IX, the term “Losses” shall mean the amount of any liabilities, losses,
damages, claims, costs, expenses, fines, fees, deficiencies, interest, awards, judgments, amounts
paid in settlement and penalties (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and
other costs of defending, investigating or settling claims) actually incurred, paid, accrued or
sustained by an Indemnified Party; provided, however, an Indemnifying Party shall
not be liable under this Article IX for any (i) Losses relating to any matter to the extent
that there is included in the Reference Balance Sheet a specific liability or reserve relating to
such specifically identified matter; or (ii) Losses that are for consequential, special,
incidental, indirect or punitive damages.
(b) The amount of any Losses payable under this Article IX by an Indemnifying Party
shall be reduced by (i) amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance
policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) the Tax Benefits
actually realized by the Indemnified Party or the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries (in
the case of a Parent Indemnified Party) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses.
If an Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any
other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by
the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party
for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing
such indemnification payment in the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified
Party in collecting such amount. “Tax Benefit” shall mean any refund, credit, or
other reduction in otherwise required Tax payments in the year in which the Loss occurs or the
immediately succeeding taxable year.
80
(c) No Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Losses
arising from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein (and
the amount of any Losses incurred in respect of such breach shall not be included in the
calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent the amount of
such specific Loss is included and properly accounted for in the calculation of the Final Net
Working Capital.
SECTION 9.05 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) For purposes of this Section 9.05, a party against which indemnification may be
sought is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” and the party that may be entitled to
indemnification is referred to as the “Indemnified Party.”
(b) The obligations and liabilities of Indemnifying Parties under this Article IX with
respect to Losses arising from actual or threatened claims or demands by any third party which are
subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article IX (“Third Party
Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and
conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim promptly following the
receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the
failure to provide such notice shall not release an Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations
under this Article IX except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced by such failure. The notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts
known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification claim, and the amount or good
faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third
Party Claim at its own expense and through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the
Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume
the defense of the Third Party Claim if (i) any such claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of
monetary losses or damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief, (ii) the Indemnifying Party
fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of the adequacy of the Escrow Fund
to provide indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement with respect to such proceeding, (iii) there is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of
interest that would make it inappropriate (in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its
reasonable discretion) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party, or (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the
Third Party Claim may establish (in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Indemnified
Party) a precedential custom or practice adverse to the business interests of the Indemnified Party
81
or would increase the Tax liability of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes
the defense of a Third Party Claim, it will conduct the defense actively, diligently and at its own
expense, and it will hold all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Losses caused by or
arising out of any settlement thereof, subject to the limitations on indemnifications set forth in
Article IX. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such
defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all
witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or
under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the
Indemnifying Party. Except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be
unreasonably withheld), the Indemnifying Party will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim,
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnified Party by the third party of a release from
all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no
finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate
thereof), (B) any liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof) or (C)
any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims of a similar nature
that may be made by the same third party against the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof);
or (iii) which exceeds the then current value of the Escrow Fund.
(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of an
Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party had the right to
assume pursuant to Section 9.05(c), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or prosecute such claim in any manner as it may
reasonably deem appropriate and may settle such claim after giving written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party, on such terms as such Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the
Indemnified Party may seek prompt indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article IX
for any Losses incurred in connection with such settlement. If no settlement of such Third Party
Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt indemnification pursuant to the terms of this
Article IX for any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim.
Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be
promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP). If the Indemnifying
Party does not elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim which it has the right to assume
hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do so.
(e) In the event that the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the
Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.05(c), the
Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or
prosecute such claim and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate after giving
written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may seek prompt
indemnification pursuant to the terms
of this Article IX for any Losses incurred in connection with such judgment or
settlement. In such case, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim
actively and diligently, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in
such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all
such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under
the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified
Party. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt
indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article IX for any Losses arising out of any
judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in
accordance with U.S. GAAP).
82
(f) The procedures relating to indemnification claims are further governed, where applicable,
by the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
(g) Following the Closing, no Company Participant shall have any right of indemnification,
contribution or subrogation against the Company with respect to any indemnification made by or on
behalf of any Company Participant under Section 9.02 if the Merger and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.
SECTION 9.06 Stockholders’ Representative.
(a) Xxxx Xxxxxx (such person and any successor or successors being the “Stockholders’
Representative”) shall act as the representative of the Company Participants, and shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Company Participants and to take any and all actions required or
permitted to be taken by the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement with respect to any
claims (including the settlement thereof) made by a Parent Indemnified Party or a Stockholder
Indemnified Party (as the case may be) for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX and
with respect to any actions to be taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to the terms
of the Escrow Agreement (including, without limitation, the exercise of the power to (i) authorize
the delivery of Escrow Funds to a Parent Indemnified Party or, in Parent’s sole discretion, setoff
against the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount, if permitted under this Agreement, in satisfaction of claims
by a Parent Indemnified Party, (ii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of,
and comply with orders of courts with respect to any claims for indemnification and (iii) take all
actions necessary in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the
foregoing). In all matters relating to this Article IX, the Stockholders’ Representative
shall be the only party entitled to assert the rights of the Company Participants, and the
Stockholders’ Representative shall perform all of the obligations of the Company Participants
hereunder. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on all statements,
representations and decisions of the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’
Representative may resign at any time upon ten (10) days prior notice to Parent, at which
time the holders of a majority of the shares of Company Stock immediately prior to the
Effective Time (voting on an as-converted basis) shall designate a replacement Stockholders’
Representative.
(b) The Company Participants shall be bound by all actions taken by the Stockholders’
Representative in his, her or its capacity thereof, except for any action that conflicts with the
limitations set forth in subsection (d) below. The Stockholders’ Representative shall at all times
act in his or her capacity as Stockholders’ Representative in a manner that the Stockholders’
Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Participants. Neither the
Stockholders’ Representative nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, if any, shall
be liable to any person for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except in the case of its gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative may consult with legal counsel,
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it. The Stockholders’ Representative
shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. As to any matters
not expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholders’
Representative shall not exercise any discretion or take any action.
83
(c) Each Company Participant shall indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse the Stockholders’
Representative from and against such Company Participant’s ratable share of any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Stockholders’
Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, other than such
liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising out of or resulting from the
Stockholders’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, the
Stockholders’ Representative is not authorized to, and shall not, accept on behalf of any Company
Participant any Transaction Consideration to which such Company Participant is entitled under this
Agreement and the Stockholders’ Representative shall not in any manner exercise, or seek to
exercise, any voting power whatsoever with respect to shares of capital stock of the Company or
Parent now or hereafter owned of record or beneficially by any Company Participant unless the
Stockholders’ Representative is expressly authorized to do so in a writing signed by such Company
Participant.
SECTION 9.07 Setoff. Subject to the indemnification limitations and procedures set
forth in this Article IX (including Section 9.02(d)(ii)), Parent is authorized (in
its sole and absolute discretion), to setoff and apply all indemnifiable Losses that constitute
Special Losses against any payments comprising any portion of the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount to be
paid (and not then paid) to the Earn-Out Consideration Recipients (provided that any set-off shall be made in a proportionate manner relative to the amounts that the Earn-Out
Consideration Recipients are otherwise entitled to receive).

event of fraud, the rights of the parties to indemnification relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be strictly limited to those contained in this Article
IX, and such indemnification rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties
subsequent to the Effective Time with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement
or arising in connection herewith. Except as provided in this Article IX or in the event
of fraud, no claim, action or remedy shall be brought or maintained by any party against any other
party, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon
any alleged misstatement or omission respecting an inaccuracy in or breach of any of the
representations, warranties or covenants of any of the parties hereto set forth or contained in
this Agreement.
