AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the “Agreement”) dated as of October 1, 2003 by and among Marchex, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Parent”), Sitewise Acquisition Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Acquisition Corp.”), Sitewise Marketing, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Oregon (the “Company”), Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx (the “Principal Shareholders”) and those holders of shares of capital stock of the Company, each as identified on the signature pages hereto (the “Shareholders” and the term Shareholders shall include the Principal Shareholders except as otherwise provided herein and where applicable based on the context the term Shareholders shall also include all other holders of capital stock of the Company) and with respect to Article II, VII and Article XII hereof, Xxxxxx Xxxxx (the “Shareholder Representative”).

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of the Parent, Acquisition Corp. and the Company have approved the merger of the Company with and into the Acquisition Corp. (the “Merger”), pursuant to which the Acquisition Corp. will be the surviving corporation and the Shareholders immediately prior to such merger will be entitled to receive the consideration provided for in this Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder; and

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Shareholders have signed this Agreement and have signed and delivered herewith to Parent written consents adopting and approving this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.

The Acquisition Corp. as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

- 1 -

(b) Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Article XI and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles IX and X, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) business days) after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles IX and X, at the offices of Marchex, Inc., 0000 0^xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the Company and the Parent. The date of such Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

1.2 Effective Time. On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing articles or certificates of merger as contemplated by the ORS and DGCL in the forms of Exhibit A-l and A-2 attached hereto (the “Certificates of Merger”), together with any required related certificates, with the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the ORS and the DGCL (the time of acceptance of the filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware shall be the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificates of Merger and the applicable provisions of the ORS and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Acquisition Corp. shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Acquisition Corp. shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; By-Laws.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Acquisition Corp., as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time in the form of Exhibit X-x attached hereto, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation, except that the name of Acquisition Corp. shall be changed to Sitewise Marketing, Inc.

(b) By-Laws. The By-Laws of the Acquisition Corp., as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time in the form of Exhibit B-2 attached hereto, shall be the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such By-Laws.

1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of Acquisition Corp. immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Acquisition Corp. immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly

- 2 -

elected or appointed and qualified. The directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation are set forth on Schedule 1.5 attached hereto.

1.6 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other acts or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation, its right, title or interest in or to any of the rights, properties or assets of Acquisition Corp. or the Company acquired or to be acquired by reason of, or as a result of, the Merger, or otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and its proper officers and directors shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of Acquisition Corp. or the Company, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to do, in the name and on behalf of Acquisition Corp. or the Company, all such other acts and things necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to or under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

1.7 Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to this Agreement and from any holder or former holder of Company Stock Options (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the exercise, cancellation, termination, or other disposition of such Company Stock Options, including any Company Stock Options that have already been exercised, such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company may be required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

ARTICLE II

CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF SHARES

2.1 Total Merger Consideration. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(e) hereof, the consideration payable in the Merger to the holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value per share (the “Company Common Stock”), shall consist of (a) an aggregate of 425,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) (the “Equity Consideration”), (b) an aggregate of 137,500 shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 7.8 hereof (the “Restricted Equity Consideration”), and (c) $3,500,000 which such cash is to be issuable at the Closing (the “Cash Consideration”). Such Equity Consideration, Restricted Equity Consideration and Cash Consideration which shall be issuable or payable at the Closing, as the case may be, as provided herein shall in the aggregate be referred to as the “Initial Merger Consideration”. The calculation of the Initial Merger Consideration assumes that as of the Closing Date, the Company shall not have any of the following (collectively, “Debt”) (i) indebtedness for borrowed money, (ii) any obligations evidenced by notes, bonds or similar instruments; (iii) indebtedness to any banking institution,

- 3 -

and (iv) indebtedness where repayment is due twelve (12) months or more from the Closing Date. The amount of Cash Consideration shall be reduced at the Closing, dollar for dollar, to the extent of any Debt, except as provided above, or negative working capital of the Company, determined in accordance with GAAP (as defined herein), as of the Closing Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, “GAAP” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles set forth in the opinions and pronouncements of the Accounting Principles Board and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and statements and pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and rules promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and its related interpretations or in such other statements by such other entity as may be approved by a significant segment of the accounting profession, which are applicable to the circumstances as of the date of determination.

2.2 Conversion of Shares.

(a) Conversion of Shares. (i) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time (other than shares owned by holders who have properly exercised their rights of appraisal within the meaning of Section 60.554 of the ORS (“Dissenting Shares”)) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically be converted into (A) an amount in cash equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Cash Consideration by (y) the total number of Fully Diluted Shares (as herein defined) as of the Effective Time and (B) that number of shares of Parent Common Stock as shall be obtained by dividing (xx) the Equity Consideration and the Restricted Equity Consideration, respectively, by (yy) the total number of Fully Diluted Shares (as herein defined) as of the Effective Time. Such resulting quotients are referred to herein as the “Exchange Ratio.” “Fully Diluted Shares” shall be equal to the total number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, immediately prior to the Closing Date, calculated on a fully diluted, fully converted basis as though all convertible debt and equity securities and options (to the extent vested and with all unvested options being cancelled at such time) and warrants had been converted or exercised. Schedule 2.2 attached hereto sets forth, with respect to the Initial Merger Consideration, (i) the Exchange Ratio, (ii) the aggregate cash payment to be paid in connection with the Merger, with the allocation among the Shareholders, (iii) the aggregate Equity Consideration and the Restricted Equity Consideration to be issued in connection with the Merger, with the allocation among the Shareholders, (iv) the percentage of any Cash Earnout Consideration allocated among the Shareholders, and (v) addresses for each of the Shareholders.

(ii) The Initial Merger Consideration will be increased by payment of the cash earnout consideration (the “Cash Earnout Consideration”) which shall be an amount equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the Net Revenue (as hereinafter defined) of the Surviving Corporation for the calendar year 2004 (the “Fiscal Period”), in excess of $15,000,000 and up to $25,000,000. The maximum Cash Earnout Consideration shall equal $1,000,000. For the purposes hereof, “Net Revenue” shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP and shall be defined as gross revenue calculated by Parent less (i) amounts attributable to those costs associated with collection of revenue, including credit card charges, charge backs, bad debts, invoice and traffic adjustments and customer incentives, if applicable, and (ii) refunds the Company pays its customers. The Net Revenue will be determined by Parent within ninety (90) days of the end of the Fiscal Period.

- 4 -

Providing no objections are made pursuant to this Section 2.2, such additional consideration shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the determination by Parent of such Net Revenue, otherwise such payment shall be made upon resolution of any such objection. The Cash Earnout Consideration will be allocated in accordance with Schedule 2.2.

At such time as the Surviving Corporation’s Net Revenue is determined for the Fiscal Period described above in this Section 2.2(a)(ii), Parent shall provide the Shareholder Representative with a written statement setting forth the calculation of such Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period. In the event that the Shareholder Representative does not object to the determination by Parent of such Net Revenue by written notice of objection (the “Notice of Objection”) delivered to Parent within fifteen (15) days after the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of such determination, such Notice of Objection to describe in reasonable detail the Shareholder Representative’s proposed adjustments to the proposed Net Revenue determination, the proposed Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period shall be deemed final and binding.

If the Shareholder Representative does deliver a Notice of Objection to Parent, then the dispute shall be resolved as follows:

(X) The Shareholder Representative and Parent shall promptly endeavor to agree upon the calculation of Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period. In the event that a written agreement determining the amount of Net Revenue has not been reached within fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt by Parent from the Shareholder Representative of the Notice of Objection thereto, then Parent’s determination of Net Revenue and the Notice of Objection shall be submitted to an internationally recognized firm of certified public accountants mutually acceptable to Parent and the Shareholder Representative (the “Arbitrator”).

(Y) Within thirty (30) days of the submission of any dispute concerning the determination of Net Revenue to the Arbitrator, the Arbitrator shall render a decision in accordance with this Section 2.2(a)(ii) along with a statement of reasons therefor. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.

(Z) In the event that an examination or audit shows that the calculation of Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period is under reported by more than fifteen percent (15%), the Parent shall bear the entire cost of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator, otherwise, the Shareholders shall bear the entire cost of such fees and expenses, and such fees attributable to the Shareholders shall be deducted from any amounts to be paid to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 2.2(a)(ii) and to the extent of any deficit, the Shareholders hereby agree to promptly reimburse Parent for any such amounts.

(iii) In the event that an Acceleration Event (as hereinafter defined) occurs on or before December 31, 2004, Parent shall pay the Shareholders as the Cash Earnout Consideration a cash payment of $1,000,000 within ninety (90) days of such event in accordance with Schedule 2.2. For the purposes hereof, Acceleration Event shall be defined as (w) a Change

- 5 -

of Control (as defined herein), (x) the termination of employment without cause (as defined in the respective employment agreement) of Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, (y) the resignation of Xxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx for Good Reason (as defined in the respective employment agreement), or (z) if Parent takes, or causes the Surviving Corporation to take, any action relating to the business prior to the end of the Fiscal Period that makes it impractical to reconstruct or calculate the Cash Earnout Consideration. For the purposes hereof, “Change of Control” shall mean (x) except as a result of a Qualified IPO (as defined herein), an event when any “person”, as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except for an existing stockholder of Parent as of the date hereof, is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s then outstanding securities, other than as a result of the purchase of equity securities directly from the Parent or Surviving Corporation in connection with a financing transaction; (y) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s securities outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization is owned by persons who were not stockholders of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization; or (z) the Parent or the Surviving Corporation sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of its respective assets or adopts any plan or proposal for its liquidation or dissolution. A Change of Control shall not occur if the person, surviving entity, or transferee is a wholly-owned (direct or indirect) subsidiary of Parent; provided, however, that an Acceleration Event shall occur upon a Change of Control of such wholly-owned subsidiary.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) Stock Options. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each a “Company Stock Option”), which has already vested prior to the Effective Time, shall be exercised on the Closing Date. In connection with the exercise of any such Company Stock Option, the Company shall withhold the requisite amount for tax purposes provided in Section 1.7 hereof. Each outstanding Company Stock Option, not already vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled at the Effective Time without the payment of any consideration therefor, and shall be of no further force and effect, without any assumption thereof.

(d) Acquisition Corp. Shares. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Acquisition Corp. issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, as such shares of common stock are constituted immediately following the Effective Time.

(e) Dissenting Shares. Any Dissenting Shares shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to each such

- 6 -

Dissenting Share pursuant to Section 60.554 of the ORS; provided, however, that Dissenting Shares held by a holder who shall, after the Effective Time of the Merger, withdraw his demand for appraisal or lose his right of appraisal as provided in Section 60.554 of the ORS, shall be deemed to be converted, as of the Effective Time of the Merger, into the right to receive such holder’s pro rata portion of the Initial Merger Consideration in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2.3. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 60.554 of the ORS received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Section 60.554 of the ORS. The Company will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal and will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, settle or offer to settle any such demands.

2.3 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) At the Closing, certificates representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) shall be surrendered for cancellation and termination in the Merger. At the Effective Time, each Certificate shall be canceled in exchange for the amount of Initial Merger Consideration allocated to each Shareholder pursuant to Section 2.2(a). The Initial Merger Consideration shall be distributed as follows to the extent Certificates have been surrendered, at Closing (or thereafter upon surrender of Certificates): (i) the Cash Consideration shall be wired to an account designated by the Shareholder Representative for further distribution by the Shareholder Representative to the Shareholders in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.2, less $175,000 which shall be placed in escrow to satisfy the obligations pursuant to Article XII hereof (the “Cash Escrow”) and also less any fees and expenses pursuant to Section 7.5, and (ii) the Equity Consideration and the Restricted Equity Consideration shall be distributed by the Shareholder Representative to the Shareholders in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.2, less 100,000 shares of Parent Common Stock issued as part of the Equity Consideration which shall be placed in escrow to satisfy the obligations pursuant to Article XII hereof (the “Stock Escrow”) and also less any fees and expenses pursuant to Section 7.5. The surrender of Certificates shall be accompanied by duly completed and executed Letters of Transmittal in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. Until surrendered with an executed Letter of Transmittal, each outstanding Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Company Common Stock, but shall, subject to applicable appraisal rights under the ORS and Section 2.2(e), have no other rights. Subject to appraisal rights under the ORS and Section 2.2(e), from and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights in respect of such shares and their rights shall be solely in respect of their proportionate amounts of the Initial Merger Consideration and the Cash Earnout Consideration.

(b) If any cash is to be paid or any shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate(s) surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of such cash or the

- 7 -

issuance of such shares that (i) the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be transferable, and shall be properly assigned, endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, (ii) such transfer shall otherwise be proper and (iii) the person requesting such transfer shall pay Parent, or its exchange agent, any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Company shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for cash paid to such holder pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement that are delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(c) In the event 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, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the cash or shares issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement. The Board of Directors of Parent may in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide to Parent an indemnity agreement against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.4 No Fractional Securities. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issuable by the Parent upon the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock in the Merger pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be entitled to receive no additional consideration for any fraction of less than one half (1/2) a share and one (1) additional share for any fraction equal to or greater than one half (1/2) a share.

2.5 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 Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.

2.6 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The amount of cash delivered and number of shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof and the payment of any additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates for shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.7 Escrow. Parent will deposit in escrow on behalf of the Shareholders the Cash Escrow at Closing by wire and the Stock Escrow as soon as practicable after the Closing and in any event within two (2) business days after the Closing (which shall reduce the amount of Cash Consideration and shares of Equity Consideration issuable to such holders of Company Common

- 8 -

Stock under Section 2.2(a)) allocated among the holders of Company Common Stock in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.2 (collectively, the “Escrow Deposit”). The Escrow Deposit shall be held by and registered in the name of U.S. Bank National Association, as Escrow Agent, as security for the indemnification obligations under Article XII pursuant to the provisions of an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto.

The Company has in force, and is in compliance with, in all material respects, all governmental permits, licenses, exemptions, consents, authorizations and approvals used in or required for the conduct of its business as presently conducted, all of which shall continue in full force and effect, without requirement of any filing or the giving of any notice and without modification thereof, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

- 39 -

Returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-l s furnished by Parent to the Shareholders for such periods.

(i) Parent, the Company and the Shareholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.10 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(iii) Parent and the Shareholders intend that the Merger be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, Parent and the Company each hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) promulgated under the Code and covenant that each will report the Merger accordingly and shall use their reasonable best efforts to take or permit no action to be taken that would be inconsistent with such position.

(iv) It is the intent of Parent that Surviving Corporation will continue at least one significant historic business line of the Company, or use at least a significant portion of Company’s historic business assets in a business, in each case within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.368-l(d).

(d) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (and any corporate-level gains Tax triggered by the Merger and any applicable transfer taxes imposed in any state or subdivision) shall be paid by the Shareholders when due, and the Shareholders shall, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Parent will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(e) Tax Audits.

(i) If any taxing authority asserts a claim, makes an assessment or otherwise disputes or affects any Tax for which the Shareholders are responsible hereunder, Parent shall,

- 40 -

promptly upon receipt by Parent or the Acquisition Co. of notice thereof, inform the Shareholders thereof in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 12.2(a) of the Agreement.

(ii) The Shareholder Representative shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the Company (and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense) in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to taxable periods of the Company which end before the Closing Date to the extent the Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding solely relates to a Tax item for which the Shareholders are liable and the Parent is not liable. Parent shall cooperate fully with the Company and its counsel in the defense against or compromise of any claim in any said proceeding; provided that neither the Shareholder Representative nor any of its appointed representatives shall settle or prosecute any Tax claim in a manner that would have an adverse effect on Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or their Affiliates without the prior written consent of Parent.

(iii) Except as provided in Section 7.10(e)(ii) above, Shareholders and Parent jointly shall represent the interests of the Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to any Taxable period of the Company which ends on or before, or includes, the Closing Date, provided Shareholders may bear whole or partial responsibility for resulting liability hereunder. Each of the parties shall be bound by the decision rendered pursuant to this Section 7.10(e)(ii). All costs, fees and expenses paid to third parties in the course of such proceeding shall be borne by the Shareholders and the Parent in the same ratio as the ratio in which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, they would share the responsibility for payment of the Taxes asserted by the taxing authority in such claim or assessment if such claim or assessment were sustained in its entirety. Each of the Shareholder Representative and the Parent shall consult with each other with respect to the resolution of any audit or proceeding under this 7.10(e)(iii), and shall not settle or resolve any such audit or proceeding without the consent of the other.

(iv) If Parent and the Shareholder Representative are unable to reach mutual agreement on any matter covered by this Section 7.10, within an appropriate period of time taking into account relevant due dates for Tax Returns and similar items, but in any event within ninety (90) days of such disagreement, such disagreement shall be submitted for resolution to such nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm as is mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Shareholder Representative (a “Tax Referee”). If the parties can not agree on a Tax Referee, the Tax Referee shall be picked by two nationally recognized accounting firms, one picked by Parent and one picked by the Shareholder Representative; provided, however, that the Tax Referee so picked may not then be the accountant regularly employed by Parent or the Company. The decision of the Tax Referee shall be binding on the parties. The fees of the Tax Referee shall be shared equally by Parent and the Shareholders.

7.11. Accounting Treatment. Parent, the Company and the Shareholders intend that the Merger qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and, for Tax reporting purposes, will report the Merger as a tax-free reorganization. If, for any reason, prior to the earliest to occur of the events below, the IRS asserts, which in turn results in

- 41 -

a final non-appealable written IRS determination, that the Merger does not so qualify, Parent shall indemnify the Shareholders for any resulting costs and expenses, which such amounts shall be approved in advance by Parent prior to the incurrence of such costs and expenses, and for any interest and penalties due on any resulting Taxes. In the above event, Parent shall also lend each Shareholder, on ten (10) days prior written notice, the amount of any resulting Taxes. Each such loan will be evidenced by a promissory note and shall accrue interest per annum at the then applicable federal rate. Parent’s indemnification obligation shall expire upon the earlier to occur of the following and each Shareholder shall have no obligation to pay principal and interest of the loan until ten (10) days after the earliest to occur of the following, at which time the outstanding balance shall be due and payable in full:

(a) the expiration of the redemption right or the date of the cash payout upon exercise of the redemption right as set forth in Section 7.9;

(b) in the event of a Qualified IPO, the later of the following:

(i) the expiration of the “lock-up” period on the Equity Consideration; or

(ii) twelve (12) months from the Closing;

(d) as to any Shareholder, with and upon receipt of the consideration such Shareholder receives on the consummation of a Change of Control in exchange for his or her shares of the Equity Consideration and the Restricted Equity Consideration.

7.12. Appointment of Shareholder Representative.

(a) The Shareholder Representative is hereby appointed as representative of the Shareholders for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Shareholder approval of this Agreement shall include confirmation of the authority of the Shareholder Representative. Parent, Acquisition Corp., and the Company may rely upon the acts of the Shareholder Representative for all purposes permitted hereunder and under the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Shareholder Representative shall have full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of the Shareholders in all matters in connection with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Shareholder Representative’s power shall include the following powers, without limitation: the power to act for the Shareholders with regard to the calculation of the Cash Earnout Consideration and indemnification obligations hereunder; the power to compromise any claim on behalf of the Shareholders and to transact matters of litigation or arbitration in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; the power to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things on behalf of the Shareholders that the Shareholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion, and to execute all such documents as the Shareholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate, in

- 42 -

connection therewith; and the power to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement.

(c) If the Shareholder Representative dies or otherwise becomes incapacitated and unable to serve as Shareholder Representative, his successor shall be appointed by a majority in interest of the Shareholders (such majority in interest to be determined in accordance with the pro rata amounts of the Equity Consideration as set forth on Schedule 2.2 hereto).

(d) The Shareholder Representative shall act for the Shareholders in the manner the Shareholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Shareholders and consistent with his obligations under this Agreement, but shall have no duties or obligations except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, In acting as representative of the Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative may rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, an opinion or advice of counsel, certificate of auditors or other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order arbitrator’s award, appraisal, bond or other paper or documents reasonably believed by him to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Shareholder Representative shall not be personally liable to the Shareholders for any action taken, suffered or omitted by him in good faith and reasonably believed by him to be authorized or within the discretion of the rights or powers conferred upon him by this Section 7.12. The Shareholder Representative may consult with counsel and any advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by him in such capacity in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel. The Shareholder Representative may perform his duties as Shareholder Representative either directly or by or through his agents or attorneys, and the Shareholder Representative shall not be responsible to the Shareholders for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by him under this Agreement. No bond shall be required of the Shareholder Representative, and the Shareholders jointly and severally shall indemnify the Shareholder Representative with respect to any and all decisions made or actions taken in the capacity as Shareholder Representative, other than for the Shareholder Representative’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

ARTICLE XII

INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL OF

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

12.1 Indemnity Obligations. (a) Subject to Sections 12.3 and 12.4 hereof, each of the Shareholders by adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the Parent (including its representatives and affiliates) harmless from, and to reimburse the Parent for, any Losses (as defined below) directly or indirectly arising out of, based upon or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company and the Shareholders set forth in Article III of this Agreement or any Schedule or certificate delivered by the Company pursuant hereto; (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of, or any failure to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or undertakings of the Company and the Principal Shareholders (which covenants, agreements or undertakings were to be performed or complied with on or prior to the consummation of the Merger) which are contained in this Agreement; (iii) any claims arising prior to the Closing involving personal injury, death or physical damage to the tangible or real property of the Company or any other person which otherwise would have been covered by fire, property, casualty or liability insurance if the Company had such insurance in place for all periods prior to the Closing; and (iv) all Taxes of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date to the extent the payments exceed the amount of reserves for Taxes reflected on the Balance Sheet other than reserves for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income and other than any reserves for any liability for Taxes arising from extraordinary gains or losses, as that term is used in GAAP and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for a taxable period that includes (but does not end) on the Closing Date. For this purpose, Taxes attributable to a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date shall be allocable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date to the extent (i) in the case of Taxes that (x) are based upon or related to income or receipts or (y)

- 50 -

imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property, the amount of such Taxes that would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (including property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending with the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. The Escrow Deposit shall be available to compensate Parent for such Losses. However, the failure to make a claim against the Escrow Deposit will not constitute an election of remedies or limit the Parent in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it pursuant to the terms hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Losses” shall mean any and all losses, damages, deficiencies, liabilities, obligations, actions, claims, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, recoveries, fees, diminution in value, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all out-of-pocket expenses, reasonable investigation expenses and reasonable fees and disbursements of accountants and counsel) of any nature whatsoever. All indemnification payments under this Article XII shall be deemed adjustments to the Initial Merger Consideration.

(b) Subject to Sections 12.3 and 12.4 hereof, each of the Shareholders by adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger hereby severally and not jointly agree to indemnify and hold the Parent harmless from, and to reimburse the Parent for, any Losses arising out of, based upon or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of such Shareholder set forth in Article IV of this Agreement or such Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal, or any Schedule or certificate delivered by such Shareholder pursuant hereto or thereto; or (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of, or any failure to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or undertakings of such Shareholder which are contained in this Agreement and/or the Letter of Transmittal of such Shareholder, (and, with respect to the Principal Shareholders only, also the covenants of each Principal Shareholder set forth in Article VIII of this Agreement), or any Schedule or certificate delivered by such Shareholder (or Principal Shareholder) pursuant hereto or thereto. The Escrow Deposit shall be available to compensate Parent for such Losses under this Section 12.1(b) up to the Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Escrow Deposit.

12.2 Notification of Claims.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3 below, in the event of the occurrence of an event pursuant to which the Parent shall seek indemnity pursuant to Section 12.1, the Parent shall provide the Shareholder Representative, and, if such indemnity is sought against a Shareholder pursuant to Section 12.1(b), the Shareholder against whom indemnification is sought, with prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such event and shall otherwise promptly make available to the Shareholder Representative, and, if applicable, such Shareholder, all relevant information which is material to the claim and which is in the possession of the indemnified party. Parent’s failure to give a timely Claims Notice or to promptly furnish the Shareholder Representative, and, if applicable, such Shareholder, with any relevant data and documents in connection with any Third-Party Claim (as that term is hereinafter defined) shall not constitute a defense (in part or in whole) to any claim for indemnification by such party,

- 51 -

except and only to the extent that such failure shall result in any prejudice to the indemnified party.

(b) The Shareholder Representative and, if such indemnification is sought against a Shareholder pursuant to Section 12.1(b) the Shareholder against whom indemnification is sought, shall have the right to elect to join in, through counsel of its choosing reasonably acceptable to Parent, the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claim of any third party (a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification will be sought by the Parent; provided; however, that Parent shall control such defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise. The expense of any such defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise, including Parent’s counsel and any counsel chosen by the Shareholder Representative, or if applicable, the Shareholder, shall be borne by the Shareholders with respect to indemnification sought pursuant to Section 12.1 (a) and by the Shareholders against whom indemnification is sought with respect to indemnification sought pursuant to Section 12.1(b); provided, such expenses shall be paid from the Escrow Deposit for indemnification sought pursuant to Section 12.1 (a) and from the Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Escrow Deposit attributable to the Shareholders against whom indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 12.1(b). Parent shall have the right to settle any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that Parent may not effect the settlement, adjustment or compromise of any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Shareholder Representative, or, if applicable, the Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Shareholder Representative, or, if applicable, the Shareholder, has consented in writing to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Shareholders shall have no power or authority to object to the amount of any claim by Parent against the Escrow Deposit for indemnification of Losses with respect to such settlement, adjustment or compromise.

12.3 Duration. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the Letters of Transmittal and any Schedules or certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and all covenants, agreements and undertakings of the parties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, the Letters of Transmittal and any Schedules or certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and the rights of the parties to seek indemnification with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing but, except in respect of any claims for indemnification as to which a Claim Notice shall have been duly given prior to the Escrow Release Date (as defined below), all representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and undertakings contained in this Agreement and the Letters of Transmittal or any certificate or Schedule delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall expire on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, obligations (a) arising from breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 3.11 and Article VIII shall survive the Closing Date for a period of three (3) years and (b) (i) arising from breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.4, 3.9, Article IV, Article VII, 12.1(a)(iii) and 12.1(a)(iv), and the Letters of Transmittal and (ii) arising from fraud shall each survive the Closing Date until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (all such obligations in (a) and (b), collectively, the “Excluded Obligations”).

- 52 -

12.4 Escrow. The Cash Escrow shall be delivered by Parent to the Escrow Agent at Closing by wire and the Stock Escrow shall be delivered by the Parent as soon as practicable after the Closing and in any event within two (2) business days after the Closing, which such Cash Escrow and Stock Escrow is to be held for a period ending on the Escrow Release Date, except the Escrow Deposit may be withheld after the Escrow Release Date to satisfy claims for indemnification which are the subject to a Claims Notice delivered prior to the Escrow Release Date pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Any indemnification claim for any Losses under this Article XII shall be paid first from the Escrow Deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no claim for indemnification has been made hereunder the Escrow Release Date for the Cash Escrow portion of the Escrow Deposit shall be the nine (9) month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Escrow Deposit shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Except with respect to claims based on the Excluded Obligations, if the Closing occurs, Parent and Acquisition Corp. agree that the Parent’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article XII shall constitute Parent’s and Acquisition Corp.’s sole and exclusive remedy and recourse against the Shareholders for Losses attributable to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty, or any breach or nonfulfillment of any failure to perform the covenants, agreements or undertakings, of the Company, the Principal Shareholders or the Shareholders which is contained in this Agreement or the Letters of Transmittal or any Schedule or certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto. Except with respect to the Excluded Obligations, the maximum liability of any Shareholder shall be limited to such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Escrow Deposit and the maximum liability of any Shareholder for the Excluded Obligations shall be limited to such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Losses up to the aggregate amount of the Initial Merger Consideration and Cash Earnout Consideration to which such Shareholder is entitled (less any amount previously recovered under this Article XII from such Shareholder’s Pro Rata portion of the Escrow Deposit); provided, however, that no Shareholder shall have any liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(b) on account of any other Shareholder. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Pro Rata Portion” of a Shareholder as to any Losses or as to the Escrow Deposit shall be equal to the percentage of the Merger Consideration to which such Shareholder is entitled.

12.5 No Contribution. The Shareholders hereby waive, acknowledge and agree that the Shareholders shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution or right of indemnity against the Company or the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification payments which the Shareholders are required to make under this Article XII. Nothing in this Article XII shall limit a Shareholder’s right of contribution or right of indemnity from another Shareholder.
