2.3 Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause, on the Closing Date, a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be properly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective on the date and at the time (the “Effective Time”) of filing of the Certificate of Merger. If the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware requires any changes in the Certificate of Merger or this Agreement, as a condition to filing or to issuing its certificate to the effect that the Merger is effective, Merger Sub and the Company will execute any necessary revisions incorporating such changes, provided such changes are not inconsistent with and do not result in any material change in the terms of this Agreement.

2.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. In addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time:

(a) General Effect. All the property, rights, privileges, powers, franchises and assets of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5 Effect of Merger on Company Common Stock and Merger Sub. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, the Merger Sub or the Company, the following shall occur:

(a) Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of the Merger Sub’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock. Each share of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Treatment of Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall convert into the right to receive the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, together with any amounts that may become payable in respect of such share of Company Common Stock in the future from the Holdback Amount or in respect of the Post-Closing Adjustment, at the respective times and subject to the contingencies specified herein. All such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time, and each certificate previously evidencing any such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.5(c). The holders of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall from and after the Effective Time cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.5(c).

(d) Fractional Shares. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which a Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock are converted pursuant to this Article II shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which any Stockholder would otherwise be entitled (after aggregating, for each particular stock certificate representing Company Common Stock, all fractional shares of Company Common Stock to be received by such holder), such Stockholder shall receive from Purchaser an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Purchaser Stock Price.

2.6 Treatment of Warrants and Corporate Actions.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, the Warrantholder or any other Person, cancelled and each Warrantholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive with respect to In-Money Warrants (i) Closing Merger Consideration, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-Money Warrant, multiplied by (y) the excess of the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such In-

Money Warrant, and (ii) any amounts that may become payable in respect of such In-Money Warrant in the future from the Holdback Amount or in respect of the Post-Closing Adjustment, in each case, at the respective times and subject to the contingencies specified herein. After the Effective Time, each Warrantholder shall only be entitled to the payments described in this Section 2.6.

(c) Fractional Shares. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which a Warrantholder’s In-Money Warrants are converted pursuant to this Article II shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which any Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, such Warrantholder shall receive from Purchaser an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Purchaser Stock Price.

2.7 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.5(c), Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such Company Common Stock) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.5(c), without interest thereon. The Company shall provide Purchaser prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Purchaser shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.5(c). If after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.8.

(d) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall mail to each Warrantholder a Warrant Termination Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B (a “Warrant Termination Agreement”) and instructions for completing, executing and returning such Warrant Termination Agreement in exchange for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a). No later than the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Warrant Termination Agreement duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and any other customary documents that the Exchange Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith, (i) the Exchange Agent shall pay to such Warrantholder a cash amount, and (ii) the Parent shall issue such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 2.6(a) with respect to the In-Money Warrants in respect of which the Warrant Termination Agreement was delivered. Unless otherwise provided herein, no interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any Merger Consideration payable upon delivery of any Warrant Termination Agreement.

(e) Each Stockholder and Warrantholder shall also be entitled to any amounts that may be payable in the future in respect of the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and the cancelled In-Money Warrants from the Holdback Amount as provided in this Agreement and on account of the Post-Closing Adjustment, at the respective time and subject to the contingencies specified herein. Unless otherwise provided herein, no interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of Stockholders or Warrantholders on the Merger Consideration.

(f) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(g) Each holder of a Certificate or In-Money Warrant who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by this Section 2.8 shall look only to Purchaser (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar applicable Law) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to any portion of the Merger Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Certificate or In-Money Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Certificate or In-Money Warrant has not been surrendered prior to the earlier of the first anniversary of the Effective Time and such date on which the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Certificate or In-Money Warrant would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Body, any amounts payable in respect of such Certificate or In-Money Warrant shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of Purchaser, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Purchaser, upon demand.

2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock And Warrants. All Merger Consideration paid or payable upon the surrender of Certificates, and all Merger Consideration paid or payable in respect of the Warrants, in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and such Warrants, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II and elsewhere in this Agreement.

To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

2.12 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Purchaser, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Purchaser may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article II.

2.13 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Closing Adjustment.

(i) At least two (2) Business Days before the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) and a calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”), both prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same methodologies as are set forth on Schedule 2.13.

(ii) The “Estimated Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital minus $-2,000,000 (the “Target Working Capital”).

During the Review Period, Stockholder Representative and its accountants shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Purchaser and/or its accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Purchaser’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Stockholder Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Stockholder Representative may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Purchaser a written statement setting forth its objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Stockholder Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Stockholder Representative. If Stockholder Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Purchaser and Stockholder Representative, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes.

Any Undisputed Amounts shall be deemed accepted by the parties. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and its decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders), on the one hand, and by Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser. Any such fees and expenses payable by the Stockholder Representative shall be payable from the Holdback Amount, subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, the Stockholders and Warrantholders, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares), shall indemnify and defend each of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company and Parent) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Purchaser Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement (other than in respect of Section 3.9, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such inaccuracy in or breach thereof shall be pursuant to Section 7.11), as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company or the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement (other than any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Section 7.11, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach, violation or failure shall be pursuant to Section 7.11);

(f) the matters set forth in Section 3.15 of the Disclosure Schedules for a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date.

9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, Purchaser shall indemnify and defend each of the Stockholders and Warrantholders and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Stockholder Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Purchaser or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date); or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Purchaser or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement (other than Section 7.11, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach thereof shall be pursuant to Section 7.11).

9.4 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Stockholders and Warrantholders shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.2(a) exceeds $300,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Stockholders and Warrantholders shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Stockholders and Warrantholders shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.2 shall not exceed the Holdback Amount (the “Cap”). For purposes of Section 9.2 and this Section 9.4(a), any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty for purposes of determining the amount of Losses.

(b) Purchaser shall not be liable to the Stockholder Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.3 until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.3 exceeds the Basket, in which event Purchaser shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Purchaser shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.3 shall not exceed the Cap. For purposes of Section 9.3 and this Section 9.4(b), any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in

or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty for purposes of determining the amount of Losses.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, liability for acts of fraud by any Person shall be unlimited; provided, however, that any individual Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s aggregate indemnification obligations under this Article IX shall be limited to the lesser of (i) such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s ratable portion of the aggregate indemnification obligations of the Stockholders and Warrantholders as determined in accordance with such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) the aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by such Stockholder under this Agreement; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 9.4(c) or any other provision of this Agreement shall be read to limit a Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s liability for acts of fraud committed by such Stockholder or Warrantholder.

9.5 Holdback Arrangements.

(a) As provided in Section 9.7(a), the Holdback Amount shall be the sole recourse the Purchaser Indemnitees to satisfy their claims against the Stockholders and Warrantholders for indemnification hereunder.

(b) On the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, if the remaining Holdback Amount exceeds the amount of any Remaining Indemnity Claims, then, subject to Section 9.5(d), Purchaser will deliver to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as determined in accordance with Section 2.8, for distribution to each Stockholder and Warrantholder, all such excess amounts payable to each Stockholder and Warrantholder in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

(c) Purchaser shall retain a portion of the Holdback Amount equal to the amount of each Remaining Indemnity Claim, until the earlier of (i) a resolution of such Remaining Indemnity Claim between Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative and (ii) a final result, determination, finding, judgment and/or award is rendered by an arbitrator with respect to such Remaining Indemnity Claim, after which, and subject to Section 9.5(d), Purchaser will, within five (5) Business Days of such date, release to the Stockholders and Warrantholders an amount equal to the excess of the Holdback Amount retained in connection with such Remaining Indemnity Claim over the actual amount of Losses finally determined in connection with such Remaining Indemnity Claim and shall deliver to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as determined in accordance with Section 2.8, for distribution to each Stockholder and Warrantholder in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

(d) Each amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be subject to any right to setoff expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Letter of Transmittal.

9.6 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If a Purchaser Indemnitee or Stockholder Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) has suffered, incurred or sustained, or is reasonably likely to suffer, incur or sustain, a Loss, including as a result of a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), for which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification or reimbursement under this Article IX, then such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such Third Party Claim or other Loss not involving a Third Party Claim to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders, or to Purchaser, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim or incurrence of such other Loss, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known and quantifiable) and the basis for indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnification Claim”). The delay in providing, or failure to provide, such notice of an Indemnification Claim shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay or failure or such notice is not provided on or prior to the Survival Date.

(b) Purchaser shall assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim resulting from, arising out of or relating to any Losses that may be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2 (a “Stockholder Indemnified Third Party Claim”), and the costs of such defense will be indemnifiable Losses in accordance with, and subject to the limitations in, this Article IX. In connection with such defense, Purchaser shall employ counsel selected by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholder Representative (which consent to counsel shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (which consent to counsel shall not be unreasonably withheld) and to participate in (but not control) the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense, and such costs and expenses shall be classified as Representative Expenses and subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap. In addition, if the Stockholder Representative has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and, in the reasonable judgment of such counsel, it is advisable for the Stockholder Representative to employ separate counsel in order to effectively assert such defense or defenses, then, in addition to the right of participation set forth above, the Stockholder Representative and such counsel shall be entitled to control the defense of such Stockholder Indemnified Third Party Claim solely to the extent necessary to assert such defense or defenses. In all cases, the cost of separate counsel employed by the Stockholder Representative shall be classified as Representative Expenses and subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap.

(c) In the case of any Third Party Claim resulting from, arising out of or relating to any Losses that may be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.3 (a “Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim”), subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 9.6(c), Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense of such Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim at its expense with counsel selected by Purchaser and reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholder Representative (which consent to counsel shall

not be unreasonably withheld), if Purchaser delivers to the Stockholder Representative within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim written notice of such election. If Purchaser is entitled to and does assume the defense of a Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim, then the Stockholder Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof. The fees and expenses of such counsel shall be classified as Representative Expenses and shall be subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap. In the event that Purchaser does not elect to assume the control of the defense of any Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.6(c), the Stockholder Representative may defend against such Third Party Claim, with all fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid from the Holdback Amount.

(d) If Purchaser is controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim, then it shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the Stockholder Representative’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as such settlement, compromise or discharge involves monetary damages that are Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required if Purchaser agrees in writing to forego all claims for indemnification from the Stockholders and Warrantholders with respect to such Third Party Claim. In the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim where Purchaser has not assumed the defense of such claim, the Stockholder Indemnitee controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but shall be without prejudice to any position with respect to whether any Loss is indemnifiable hereunder.

(e) Irrespective of which Party controls the defense of any Third Party Claim, the other Parties will cooperate with the controlling Party in such defense and make available to the controlling Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such non-controlling Party’s possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the controlling Party.

(f) In connection with any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver written notice to the Indemnified Party accepting or disputing the Indemnification Claim within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such Indemnification Claim (the “Indemnification Claim Response Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver an Indemnification Claim Response Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, or if the Indemnification Claim Response Notice indicates that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute all or any portion of such Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will pay, or cause to be paid, in accordance with Section 9.7, to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the dollar value of such Indemnification Claim or undisputed portion thereof. If an Indemnified Party delivers notice of an Indemnification Claim where the amount of such claim is at such time unknown or unquantifiable, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver an Indemnification Claim Response Notice in accordance with the foregoing, but such notice may accept the basis of liability for such Indemnification Claim but reserve the

right to dispute the amount of such claim. As soon as practicable after determining the amount of such Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a supplemental Indemnification Claim Response Notice accepting or disputing the amount (but only the amount) of such Indemnification Claim within ten (10) Business Days thereafter. If the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver such supplemental Indemnification Claim Response Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, or if the supplemental Indemnification Claim Response Notice indicates that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute all or any portion of the amount of such Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will pay, or cause to be paid, in accordance with Section 9.7, to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the dollar amount of such Indemnification Claim or undisputed portion thereof. If an Indemnification Claim is disputed by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the foregoing, then such disputed Indemnification Claim shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.6(g) and Section 11.3.

(g) Resolution of Conflicts.

(i) If an Indemnification Claim is disputed by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the foregoing (such disputed Indemnification Claim, a “Disputed Claim”), then the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser will attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser should so agree, then a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be prepared and signed by all Parties, and payments will be made out of the Holdback Amount or otherwise according to such memorandum as provided therein.

(ii) In the event the Parties cannot come to an agreement as set forth in Section 9.6(g)(i) within thirty (30) days after the date on which an Indemnification Claim becomes a Disputed Claim, the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser shall mutually agree on one mediator not affiliated with any Party for determination of the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such Disputed Claims. The Parties shall cooperate with one another in selecting a mediator and in scheduling mediation proceedings, shall act in good faith in such mediation, shall share equally in the costs of any mediation, and shall use good faith efforts to cause such mediation to be completed within thirty (30) days of the initiation thereof; provided, that any costs of any such mediation to be borne by the Stockholder Representative shall be classified as Representative Expenses and shall be subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap. If a resolution is not agreed upon after completion of such mediation, then any Party may begin proceedings in accordance with Section 11.3.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 7.11 and not this Section 9.5 shall control any Tax Matter, provided however that Sections 9.6(f) and 9.6(g) shall apply with respect to Tax Matters and the mediator selected by the Parties under Section 9.6(g) in respect of a Tax Matter shall be

an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to both Parties. The preceding sentence does not change the application of any other provision of Article IX.

9.7 Payments. Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, the Parties agree that:

(a) any indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article IX of the Stockholders and Warrantholders shall be effected within two (2) Business Days after the determination of the amount (whether pursuant to a final judgment, settlement, agreement among the Parties, the dispute resolution procedures hereunder or otherwise), solely by deduction from the Holdback Amount;

(b) Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article IX within two (2) Business Days after the determination of the amount (whether pursuant to a final judgment, settlement, agreement among the Parties, the dispute resolution procedures hereunder or otherwise), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts designated by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders; and

(c) a Stockholder’s and Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share of any indemnification payments to be paid by the Stockholders and Warrantholders pursuant to this Article IX that are not otherwise deducted in full from the Holdback Amount shall be reapportioned (as necessary, and among all Stockholders and Warrantholders severally in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares) to ensure that the entirety of such payment obligation is paid by the Stockholders and Warrantholders to Purchaser; provided, that indemnification payments that a particular Stockholder or Warrantholders is obligated but fails to pay shall remain the several obligation of such Stockholder or Warrantholder and shall not be reapportioned pursuant to this Section 9.7(c).

9.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

9.9 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 11.10, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.11 and this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.11 and this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.9 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which

any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent conduct; provided, however, that any individual Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s aggregate liability under this Agreement shall be limited to the lesser of (i) such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s ratable portion of the aggregate liability under this Agreement of the Stockholders and Warrantholders as determined in accordance with such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) the aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by such Stockholder under this Agreement; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 9.9 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be read to limit a Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s liability for acts of fraud committed by such Stockholder or Warrantholder.

11.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either the Company or Purchaser, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, that the Purchaser may assign or collaterally assign its rights but not its obligations under this Agreement to any financing source. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

11.9 Retention of Counsel. In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement following the Closing, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right, at its election, to retain McGuireWoods LLP or Akin Gump Xxxxxxx

Xxxxx & Xxxx LLP to represent it in such matter, and Purchaser, for itself and the Company and for their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives and consents to any such representation in any such matter and the communication by such counsel to the Stockholder Representative in connection with any such representation of any fact known to such counsel arising by reason of such counsel’s prior representation of the Company. Purchaser, for itself and the Company and for its and such respective Persons’ Affiliates, successors and assigns, irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between any of the Company and counsel made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and Closing under, or any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise that, immediately prior to the Closing, would be deemed to be privileged communications of any of the Company and its counsel and would not be subject to disclosure to Purchaser in connection with any process relating to a dispute arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or otherwise, shall continue after the Closing and for all purposes be deemed to be privileged communications between the Stockholder Representative and such counsel and neither Purchaser nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Purchaser shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such communications, belongs to the Company, and not the Stockholder Representative.

11.10 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail transmission), each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY. YOU MUST (1) SIGN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL WHERE INDICATED BELOW, (2) COMPLETE THE FORM W-9 OR THE FORM W-8, AS APPLICABLE, AND (3) DELIVER BOTH DOCUMENTS BY OVERNIGHT COURIER OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED AND INSURED, TO THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE.

THE INSTRUCTIONS ACCOMPANYING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS COMPLETED.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of GTT USNI, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Telecom & Technology Americas, Inc. (“Purchaser”) and an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of GTT Communications, Inc. (“Parent”) with and into American Broadband, Inc. d/b/a United Network Services, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 1, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx, solely in his capacity as the Stockholder Representative, the undersigned herewith surrenders the above described shares of Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”), in exchange for the consideration set forth below, without interest and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Letter of Transmittal shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

Common Stock

As a result of the Merger, each share of Common Stock (each, a “Share”) (other than any Dissenting Shares, Shares held in the treasury of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time or authorized but currently unissued Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time) will be converted automatically into the right to receive the Closing Merger Consideration, together with those portions of the Holdback Amount and the Post-Closing Adjustment (if any) that the Stockholders and the Warrantholders become entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Consideration paid to holders of the Common Stock (each, a “Stockholder”) and In-Money Warrants (each, a “Warrantholder”) is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment, as well as certain indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement. The Merger Consideration that will be paid by the Purchaser to the Stockholders and Warrantholders in connection with the Closing shall be reduced by the Holdback Amount, which will be withheld by the Purchaser to secure the Post-Closing Adjustment, the indemnification obligations of the Stockholders and Warrantholders under the Merger Agreement and the Representative Expenses (as defined below). The Holdback Amount that is not deducted by the Purchaser for the Post-Closing Adjustment, for indemnification obligations within the time periods provided in the Merger Agreement or for Representative Expenses will be released to the Stockholder Representative for distribution to the Stockholders and Warrantholders based on each Stockholder’s and Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the portion of the Holdback Amount not deducted by the Purchaser for the Post-Closing Adjustment, for the Stockholders’ and Warrantholders’ indemnification obligations or for Representative Expenses will be released twelve months after the Closing (unless used or reserved to pay for indemnification claims, with any reserved funds which are not used to pay for indemnification claims to be paid to the Stockholders and Warrantholders upon final settlement of the indemnification claim).

Waiver of Dissenting Stockholder Rights

BY DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY (I) FOREVER WAIVES ALL DISSENTING

STOCKHOLDER, APPRAISAL OR SIMILAR RIGHTS AVAILABLE TO THE UNDERSIGNED IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 262 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW WITH RESPECT TO ANY SHARES AT ANY TIME HELD BY THE UNDERSIGNED NOT PREVIOUSLY WAIVED AND (II) FULLY AND COMPLETELY WITHDRAWS ALL OBJECTIONS PREVIOUSLY MADE TO THE MERGER (IF ANY) AND/OR DEMANDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE UNDERSIGNED’S DISSENTING SHARES, IF ANY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SHARES AT ANY TIME HELD BY THE UNDERSIGNED.

Consent to Terms and Conditions of the Merger Agreement

The undersigned understands, acknowledges and agrees that completion and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal constitutes agreement to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement subject to its terms and conditions. The undersigned has reviewed and understands the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including without limitation, the representations and warranties, covenants, and indemnification and holdback provisions of Articles II, III, IV, V, VI, and VIII of the Merger Agreement. In particular, the undersigned understands that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Holdback Amount will also be available to satisfy any claims by the Purchaser Indemnitees, any post-closing price adjustment and any Representative Expenses, in each case, pursuant to (and subject to the limitations set forth in) the Merger Agreement and/or this Letter of Transmittal.

The undersigned is strongly urged to consult with his or her legal, tax and/or financial advisor(s) regarding the consequences to the undersigned of the Merger, the Merger Agreement, and the undersigned’s execution of this Letter of Transmittal.

The undersigned’s signature on this Letter of Transmittal and tender of Shares constitutes the undersigned’s (a) acknowledgment and agreement that the undersigned shall be deemed to be bound by the obligations in the Merger Agreement as a “Stockholder” and therefore shall be subject to all of the covenants, terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; and (b) approval of and consent to the appointment of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx as representative and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders to act as the “Stockholder Representative” for the limited purpose as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including Article IV thereof.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholder Representative has full power and authority to make, on behalf of the Stockholder, all decisions delegated to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the Merger Agreement and otherwise to act on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders in all respects with respect to the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to (i) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, such indemnification claims; (ii) litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 7.11(a) or Article IX of the Merger Agreement; (iii) waive any breach or default of Purchaser or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement; (iv) receive service of process in connection with any claims under the Merger Agreement and give and receive notices and communications; and (v) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Stockholder’s Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and any other post-Closing matters. The

Stockholder Representative shall have the authority and power to act on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders with respect to the disposition, settlement or handling all indemnification claims under the Merger Agreement. The Stockholders and Warrantholders shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Stockholder Representative in connection with Section 7.11(a) and Article IX of the Merger Agreement, and Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Stockholder Representative or any Contract, document or instrument signed by the Stockholder Representative, in each case, as action by, on behalf of and with the consent of all Stockholders and Warrantholders. Any payment made to the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to be made to the Stockholders and Warrantholders, and Purchaser shall have no further liability to the Stockholders or Warrantholders with respect to any such payment. In performing the functions specified in the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder Representative may act upon any instrument or other writing believed by the Stockholder Representative to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper Person and shall not be liable in connection with the performance by it of its duties pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Stockholder Representative. By approval of the Merger, each Stockholder and Warrantholder agrees that the Stockholder Representative shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties. Any out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with actions taken by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (including the hiring of legal counsel and accountants and the incurring of legal and accounting fees and costs) (“Representative Expenses”) shall be deducted from the Holdback Amount, up to, in the aggregate, the Expense Reimbursement Cap. The Stockholder Representative may request that the Purchaser withhold a disproportionate amount of Merger Consideration from any Stockholder(s) and Warrantholder(s) that were the cause of any Representative Expenses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement and to consent to any amendment thereof, on behalf of all the Stockholders and Warrantholders and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

Surrender of Shares

The undersigned acknowledges that, until surrendered in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned’s Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive the consideration payable in respect of such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and that from and after the Effective Time, the undersigned shall cease to have any rights as a holder of securities of the Company.

The undersigned represents below that the undersigned has full authority to surrender the Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. Subject to, and effective upon,

payment for the Shares surrendered herewith, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Company all right, title and interest in and to all of the Shares that are being surrendered hereby. The surrender of Shares is irrevocable but will not be effective until receipt and acceptance of this Letter of Transmittal by the Exchange Agent.

The undersigned understands, acknowledges and agrees that surrender is not made in acceptable form until the receipt by Exchange Agent of this Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile or PDF copy hereof, duly completed and signed, together with all accompanying evidences of authority in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent (which may delegate power in whole or in part to an Affiliate or a representative thereof). All questions as to validity, form and eligibility of any surrender of Shares hereby will be reasonably determined by Parent in good faith (which may delegate power in whole or in part to an Affiliate or a representative thereof), and such determination shall be final and binding. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the consideration to be paid in exchange for each Share shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Share.

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and delivery any additional documents reasonably deemed appropriate or necessary by Parent, Purchaser, Company or the Stockholder Representative, in connection with the surrender of the Shares. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall not be affected by the death or disability of the undersigned, and shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators and legal representatives of the undersigned.

limited liability company, approval by its manager and, if necessary, members, as the case may be) on the part of the undersigned, if any, and this Letter of Transmittal constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable against him, her or it in accordance with its terms.

(iv) There is no limitation or restriction on the sale, transfer and delivery of the Shares listed in Box C this Letter of Transmittal that will be breached by complying with these instructions in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal.

The undersigned hereby understands, acknowledges and agrees that Parent or Purchaser may set off the amount of any indemnification due from the undersigned against any amount due and unpaid, or otherwise subsequently payable, under the Merger Agreement and/or this Letter of Transmittal (subject to the limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement).

The undersigned understands, acknowledges and agrees that it will not, in his, her or its capacity as a Stockholder, seek, nor will it be entitled in such capacity to, reimbursement or contribution from, subrogation to, or indemnification by the Purchaser or any of any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any directors, officers or other stockholders of Company, under their respective organizational documents, the Merger Agreement, applicable law or other legal requirements or otherwise, in respect of any amounts due from the undersigned to any Purchaser Indemnitee under Article IX of the Merger Agreement or, from and after the Closing, otherwise in connection with the Merger Agreement, other than as expressly permitted by the Merger Agreement.

General Instructions

1. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal: This Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile hereof, completed and signed (Box A), must be used in connection with the delivery and surrender of the Shares. Surrender of the Shares, and the risk of loss and title to the Shares shall pass, only upon proper tender of the Shares as provided herein. The Letter of Transmittal should be completed and signed exactly as the surrendered Shares are registered in the stockholder register of Company and as legibly as possible. If any surrendered Shares are registered in different names, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations. Letters of Transmittal executed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary capacity who are not identified as such in the registration must be accompanied by proper evidence of the signer’s authority to act (e.g., corporate resolution, partnership agreement, etc.).

2. Endorsement and Signature Guarantee: Stock powers and signature guarantees are unnecessary unless the Shares are registered in a name other than that of the person surrendering the Shares or if the person receiving payment will be different from the current registration as indicated in Box C. In either case, Box E (Medallion Signature Guarantee) must be completed. The guarantee is a form of signature verification which can be obtained from a firm that is a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents’ Medallion Program.

3. Special Payment Instructions: Provide new payee information in Box D if different than those listed in Box C. A Medallion Guarantee is required. Please see Instruction No. 2. Failure to provide the required documentation will result in payment being issued to the registered Stockholder(s) as shown in Box C.

4. Multiple Owners: If any of the Shares surrendered hereby are held of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any of the Shares surrendered hereby are registered in different names, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as necessary as there are different registrations of the Shares.

5. Stock Transfer Taxes: If payment in respect of the Shares is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name such Shares are registered, then as a condition of payment the person requesting such payment must have established to the satisfaction of Parent that any transfer and other taxes required by reason of such payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Shares have been paid or are not applicable.

6. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or, for non-U.S. persons, Form W-8): Under the federal income tax law, a non-exempt Stockholder surrendering Shares is required to provide the disbursing agent with such stockholder’s certified taxpayer identification number (“TIN”). Therefore, please complete and sign the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 attached to this Letter of Transmittal (or, if you are a non-U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 (including, in the case of IRS Form W-8BEN-E, any finalized, successor or updated form)). A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate IRS Form W-8, and not an IRS Form W-9. Instructions for completing IRS Form W-9 are included with the Form. Additional information on completing the IRS Form W-9 can be found on the IRS website at xxx.xxx.xxx.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

In order to avoid backup withholding of United States federal income tax, United States federal income tax law generally requires that if your Shares are accepted for payment, you or your assignee (in either case, the “Payee”) must provide Parent and Purchaser (each a “Payer”) with the Payee’s correct TIN, which, in the case of a Payee who is an individual, is generally the Payee’s social security number. If the Payer is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, the Payee may be subject to a $100 penalty imposed by the IRS and backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) on reportable payments, if any, received by the Payee in connection with the Merger. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

To prevent backup withholding, each Payee that is a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes must provide either (A) such Payee’s correct TIN by completing the IRS Form W-9, a copy of which is included herewith, certifying that (i) the TIN provided is correct, (ii) (a) the Payee is exempt from backup withholding, (b) the Payee has not been notified by the IRS that such Payee is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified the Payee that such Payee is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (iii) the Payee is a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien), or (B) an adequate basis for exemption from backup withholding.

If the Payee has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future, such Payee should write “APPLIED FOR” in the space for the TIN in Part I of the IRS Form W-9 and should sign and date the IRS Form W-9. If the Payee has not provided a properly certified TIN to the Payer by the time of payment, backup withholding will apply to all reportable payments made to the Payee in connection with the Merger.

If the Shares are held in more than name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions on the IRS Form W-9 for additional guidelines on which name and TIN to report.

Certain Payees (including, among others, certain corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to backup withholding. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt Payee that is a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes should complete the Form W-9 by providing such Payee’s correct TIN, signing and dating the form and checking the “Exempt payee” box on the IRS Form W-9. See the IRS Form W-9 for additional instructions. In order for a Payee who is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes to establish its exemption from backup withholding, such person must submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E (including any finalized, successor or updated form), W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY, as the case may be, signed under penalties of perjury attesting to such exempt status. Such forms may be obtained from Parent or from the IRS at its Internet website: xxx.xxx.xxx.

PAYEES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

Please note that the foregoing certifications do not exempt the undersigned from any compensation-related withholdings that may be required. Any payment pursuant to the Merger Agreement that is treated as wages for tax purposes will be subject to the normal withholding requirements that are applicable to wages, regardless of the submission of the Form W-9 or a Form W-8.

TO COMPLY WITH IRS CIRCULAR 230, YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED BY ANY TAXPAYER, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) A TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THE TAXPAYER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

(“Purchaser”) and an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of GTT Communications, Inc. (“Parent”), with and into American Broadband, Inc. d/b/a United Network Services, Inc.

Payment in Respective of In-Money Warrants

As a result of, and contingent upon, the Merger, at the Effective Time, each In-Money Warrant will be terminated and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the (i) Closing Merger Consideration, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-Money Warrant, multiplied by (y) the excess of the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such In-Money Warrant, and (ii) any amounts that may become payable in respect of such In-Money Warrant in the future from the Holdback Amount or in respect of the Post-Closing Adjustment, in each case, at the respective times and subject to the contingencies specified in the Merger Agreement (collectively, your “Warrant Payments”). After the Effective Time, each Warrantholder shall only be entitled to the payments described in Section 2.6 of the Merger Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Out-of-Money Warrants and Unvested Warrants shall be terminated and shall not have any right to receive any consideration in respect thereof.

Copies of IRS Form W-8 and related instructions can be found on the IRS website at xxx.xxx.xxx.

Consent to Terms and Conditions of the Merger Agreement

The undersigned understands, acknowledges and agrees that completion and delivery of this Warrant Termination Agreement constitutes agreement to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement subject to its terms and conditions. The undersigned has reviewed and understands the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including without limitation, the representations and warranties, covenants, and indemnification and holdback provisions of Articles II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and IX of the Merger Agreement. In particular, the undersigned understands that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Holdback Amount will also be available to satisfy any claims by the Purchaser Indemnitees, any post-closing price adjustment and any Representative Expenses (as defined below), in each case, pursuant to (and subject to the limitations set forth in) the Merger Agreement and/or this Warrant Termination Agreement.

The undersigned’s signature on this Warrant Termination Agreement constitutes the undersigned’s (a) acknowledgment and agreement that the undersigned shall be deemed to be bound by the obligations in the Merger Agreement as a “Warrantholder” and therefore shall be subject to all of the covenants, terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; and (b) and (b) approval of and consent to the appointment of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx as representative and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders to act as the “Stockholder Representative” for the limited purpose as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including Article IV thereof.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholder Representative has full power and authority to make, on behalf of the Warrantholder, all decisions delegated to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the Merger Agreement and otherwise to act on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders in all respects with respect to the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to (i) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, such indemnification claims; (ii) litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 7.11(a) or Article IX of the Merger Agreement; (iii) waive any breach or default of Purchaser or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement; (iv) receive service of process in connection with any claims under the Merger Agreement and give and receive notices and communications; and (v) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Stockholder’s Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and any other post-Closing matters.

the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to be made to the Stockholders and Warrantholders, and Purchaser shall have no further liability to the Stockholders or Warrantholders with respect to any such payment.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement and to consent to any amendment thereof, on behalf of all the Stockholders and Warrantholders and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

Exhibit B

Section 262 of the Act

A. § 262. Appraisal rights.

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the

merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of

such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.
