B. The Company Board (as defined herein) has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger is in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholders, and (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Company Board Approval”) and (iii) recommended that the Company Stockholders adopt this Agreement.

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a majority-owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.”
CONFIDENTIAL

2.2 Deferred Merger Consideration. Subject to any right of setoff that Parent may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7.3(f) and subject to the requirements of this Section 2.2, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid, as set forth in Section 2.3, the Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration and the Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration (collectively, the “Deferred Merger Consideration”) as follows:
(a) Deferred Merger Consideration.
(i) The “Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration” shall be an amount equal to the (A) Year 1 Net Revenue Payment, as set forth in Section 2.2(b) plus the (B) Year 1 Milestone Payment, as set forth in Section 2.2(c); provided, that in the event that such amount exceeds the Maximum Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration, the Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration shall equal the Maximum Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration (and such excess amount (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.3(d)), the “Year 1 Excess”).
(ii) The “Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration” shall be an amount equal to (A) the Year 2 Net Revenue Payment, as set forth in Section 2.2(b) plus (B) the Year 2 Milestone Payment, as set forth in Section 2.2(c) plus (C) the Year 1 Excess, if any; provided, that, except as set forth in Section 2.2(b)(iv), in no event shall the Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration exceed the Maximum Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration.
(iii) In no event shall the Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration and the Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration exceed Thirty Six Million Dollars ($36,000,000) (the “Maximum Deferred Merger Consideration”).
(b) Net Revenue. On or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the conclusion of each of the next two (2) calendar years, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2014, Parent shall determine the Net Revenue for the calendar year just ended. The calendar year ending December 31, 2014 shall be referred to herein as (“Year 1”). The calendar year ending December 31, 2015 shall be referred to herein as (“Year 2”). Within sixty (60) days after the end of Year 1 or Year 2, as the case may be, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Holder Representative a revenue statement of the business of the Company as conducted, by the Company prior to, on and, by the Surviving Corporation, after the Closing Date (the “Business”) as of the end of Year 1 or Year 2, as the case may be, which shall include a computation of the Net Revenue as of the relevant date as well as all relevant backup materials and schedules (the “Net Revenue Statement”). If within thirty (30) Business Days following Holder Representative’s receipt of the Net Revenue Statement, Holder Representative has not provided Parent with written objections to the Net Revenue Statement, then such calculation shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If Holder Representative within thirty (30) Business Days following Holder Representative’s receipt of the Net Revenue Statement gives Parent written notice of its objections to the Net Revenue Statement, then Parent and the Holder Representative shall use their good faith efforts to promptly resolve such dispute and to establish a final computation of the Net Revenue Statement. If
-5-
CONFIDENTIAL
Holder Representative and Parent fail to resolve the issues raised by the Holder Representative’s objections within thirty (30) Business Days from Parent’s receipt of said objections (which they will discuss and attempt to do so in good faith), then the parties shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 2.7.
(i) Year 1 Net Revenue Payment. Based on the Net Revenue (as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b) above) achieved by the Business in Year 1, the “Year 1 Net Revenue Payment” shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the corresponding percentage set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto under the column titled “% of Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration” corresponding to such Net Revenue in Year 1 and (B) the Maximum Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration.
(ii) Year 2 Net Revenue Payment. Based on the Net Revenue (as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b) above) achieved by the Business in Year 2, the “Year 2 Net Revenue Payment” shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the corresponding percentage set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto under the column titled “% of Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration” corresponding to such Net Revenue in Year 2 and (B) the Maximum Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration.
(iii) Proration. In the event the Net Revenue falls between the Net Revenue amounts set forth in thresholds 1 and 2 on Exhibit B, the Year 1 Net Revenue Amount or Year 2 Net Revenue Amount, as applicable shall be the product, prorated based upon the actual revenue on a linear basis, of (A) such percentages set forth in thresholds 1 and 2 on Exhibit B and (B) the corresponding Maximum Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration or Maximum Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration, as applicable.
(iv) Total Net Revenue. If (A) the Net Revenue Payment in Year 1 is less than the Maximum Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration; and (B) the sum of the Net Revenue in Year 1 and Net Revenue in Year 2 equals or exceeds [***] Dollars ($[***]), then the Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration Payment shall be an amount equal to the Maximum Deferred Merger Consideration less the Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration.
(v) Penalty for Carrier Concentration. If, in either Year 1 or Year 2, more than [***] ([***]%) of the Net Revenue originates from one Carrier, then the percentage set forth under the column titled “% of Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration” or “% of Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration”, as the case may be, on Exhibit B, corresponding to the applicable Net Revenue, shall be reduced by five (5) percentage points.
(c) Milestones. If for either Year 1 or Year 2, the Year 1 Net Revenue Payment or the Year 2 Net Revenue Payment is less than the Maximum Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration or the Maximum Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration, as applicable, then the achievement of each of the milestones set forth below (the “Milestones”) shall earn a payment (each, a “Milestone Payment”), in each case as further set forth in this Section 2.2(c). The “Year 1 Milestone Payment” shall equal the aggregate amount of the Milestone Payments earned in Year 1 and the “Year 2 Milestone Payment” shall equal the aggregate amount of the Milestone Payments earned in Year 2; provided, that in no event shall (i) the Year 1 Milestone Payment exceed twenty-four percent (24%) of the Maximum Deferred Merger Consideration; (ii) the Year 2 Milestone Payment exceed thirty-three percent (33%) of the Maximum Deferred Merger Consideration; and (iii) the sum of the Year 1 Milestone Payment and the Year 2 Milestone Payment exceed an aggregate amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the Maximum Deferred Merger Consideration.

2.7 Independent Accountant. If Holder Representative and Parent fail to resolve the issues under Sections 2.3(b) and 2.6, Holder Representative and Parent shall submit their issues remaining in dispute to a mutually agreeable third party nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”), it being understood that the Independent Accountant in such case shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree upon the Independent Accountant within ten (10) Business Days after the respective request for such designation, the Independent Accountant shall be appointed, upon request of either party, by the American Institute of CPAs (the “AICPA”), which shall select a nationally recognized accounting firm to act as the Independent Accountant. Such nationally recognized accounting firm shall not be an accounting firm that has performed accounting or similar services for either party in the three (3) years preceding the date of this Agreement. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountant to settle the disagreement:
(a) Holder Representative and Parent shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountant and to the other party such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountant may request and are available to the Holder Representative or the Parent or their Representatives, and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountant;
(b) the determination by the Independent Accountant of the amount at issue, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to the Holder Representative and Parent (who shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that such notice be delivered within thirty (30) Business Days of the submission to the Independent Accountant of the issues remaining in dispute), shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties; and

2.8 Withholding Rights; Deductions from Merger Consideration.
(a) After consultation with the Holder Representative, each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent and the Ultimate Parent or a subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to any Person under this Agreement or any Related Agreements such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or any other Tax withholding obligation with respect to the Merger or the exercise, cancellation or cash out of any Company Stock Right or the vesting of restricted stock under the Code or any provision of applicable U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted by the Surviving Corporation or by Parent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or by Parent or by the Ultimate Parent or a subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent, as the case may be.
(b) All parties hereto agree that: (i) the right of the holders of Company Converted Capital Stock to the Escrow Amount, Specified Matter Escrow Amount, Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration and Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration is intended to be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local law, as appropriate; (ii) Parent shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount and Specified Matter Escrow Amount solely for tax purposes, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amount and Specified Matter Escrow Amount, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Parent pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8; (iii) if and to the extent any portion of
-19-
CONFIDENTIAL
the Escrow Amount or Specified Matter Escrow Amount is actually distributed or the Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration and Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration are actually paid to the holders of Company Converted Capital Stock, interest shall be imputed on such amount, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code; (iv) in the event that the total amount of any interest and earnings earned on the Escrow Amount or Specified Matter Escrow Amount exceeds the imputed interest described in clause (iii) with respect to the Escrow Amount and Specified Matter Escrow Amount, such excess amount shall be treated as interest or other income and not as purchase price; and (v) the receipt by any holder of Company Options or holder of Unvested Company Share of any portion of the Escrow Amount, Specified Matter Escrow Amount, Year 1 Deferred Merger Consideration and Year 2 Deferred Merger Consideration shall be treated as compensation paid by the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local law, as appropriate. Clause (iv) of the preceding sentence is intended to ensure that the right of the holders of Company Converted Capital Stock to the Escrow Amount and Specified Matter Escrow Amount and any interest and earnings earned thereon is not treated as a contingent payment without a stated maximum selling price under Section 453 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. All parties hereto shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the foregoing and shall not take any tax position, including in any Tax contest or proceeding, that is inconsistent with the foregoing.

7.4 Procedures.
(a) General. Promptly after the discovery by any Parent Indemnified Party of any Loss or Losses, claim or breach, including any claim by a third party , that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the Parent Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Holder Representative a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) that:
(i) states that the Parent Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses, or it is reasonably expected that it will incur liability for Losses, for which such Parent Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and
(ii) specifies in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable and available, each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which such Parent Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder; provided, that no delay on the part of any Parent Indemnified Party in notifying the Holder Representative shall relieve the Holders of any liability or obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Holders have been prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent.
(b) If the Holder Representative objects to the indemnification of a Parent Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Holder Representative shall deliver a written notice to such effect to the Parent Indemnified Party within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Holder Representative of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Holder Representative and the Parent Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties for a period of not less than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Parent Indemnified Party of such written objection with respect to each of such claims to which the Holder Representative has objected. If the Parent Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative agree with respect to any of such claims, the Parent Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement and, if applicable, a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent. Should the Parent Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative fail to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such sixty (60)-day period, then either party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving the claim for indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Parent Indemnified Party seeks recovery against the Escrow Amount or the Specified Matter Escrow Amount, as applicable, the time periods set forth herein shall be without duplication of the time periods set forth in the Escrow Agreement and the Parent Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative shall issue a joint written notice (an “Escrow Claim Notice”) to the Escrow Agent indicating the disputed amount and instructing the Escrow Agent to continue to hold such amount until Escrow Agent receives (i) a final non-appealable order, (ii) a joint written instruction from Parent and Holder Representative, instructing the Escrow Agent to release such funds, or (iii) as otherwise set forth herein.

(c) Parent Indemnified Party Defense; Settlement.
(i) In the event of receipt of notice of a Third-Party Claim (other than an IP Third Party Claim or a claim subject to the provisions of Section 5.14(e)) from a Parent Indemnified Party, the Holder Representative will be entitled to assume the defense thereof by representatives chosen by it and reasonably acceptable to the Parent Indemnified Party upon written notice to the Parent Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of receiving written notice of the Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires). If the Holder Representative assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel and, if reasonably necessary other experts, whose fees and expenses shall be the Parent Indemnified Party’s sole responsibility. The party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the other parties copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other written statements and information relating to or submitted in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, and timely notices of, and the right to participate in (as an observer) any hearing or other court proceeding to the Third Party Claim. The Parent Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and representatives to, cooperate fully with the Holder Representative in connection with any Third-Party Claim. The Holder Representative or Parent, as applicable, shall keep such Parent Indemnified Party apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action and shall consult with such Parent Indemnified Party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions.
(ii) If the Holder Representative, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice of the Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), elects not to defend such Third Party Claim or thereafter fails or ceases to defend such Third Party Claim, actively and in good faith, then the Parent Indemnified Party will (upon advance written notice of at least four (4) days) have the right to assume the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect thereto, the costs and expenses of which shall be an indemnifiable Loss, and the Holder Representative shall thereafter have no right to assume the defense, compromise or settlement thereof.
(iii) The Holder Representative shall not, without the written consent of the Parent Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that (A) encumbers any of the assets of any Parent Indemnified Party or contain any restriction or condition that would apply to such Parent Indemnified Party or to the conduct of that party’s business, or (B) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Parent Indemnified Party of an unconditional release of the Parent Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. No settlement or entry of judgment in respect of any Third-Party Claim shall be consented to by any Parent Indemnified Party without the express written consent of the Holder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any consent withheld hereunder which is not accompanied by a written rationale for such withholding will have the effect of constituting prior written consent for purposes of this subsection.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parent Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel.
-76-
CONFIDENTIAL
(v) With respect to any IP Third Party Claim, Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of such claim at its sole cost and expense (“IP Defense Costs”); provided, however, that any settlement of any such IP Third Party Claim, shall not be effected without the prior written consent of the Holder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Parent shall keep the Holder Representative apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and shall consult with the Holder Representative prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. If any such action or claim is settled with the prior written consent of the Holder Representative, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of any Loss (other than the related IP Defense Costs) relating thereto. Any consent withheld hereunder which is not accompanied by a written rationale for such withholding will have the effect of constituting prior written consent for purposes of this subsection.
(d) Agreed Claims. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which the Holder Representative did not object in writing within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such Claim Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a joint written instruction of the nature described in Section 7.4(b) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of resolution of a final non-appealable judicial determination are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” The Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to payment for any Agreed Claim within ten (10) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any such Agreed Claims.
7.5 Merger Consideration Adjustment. The Company, Parent, the Holder Representative and the Holders agree to treat each indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VII paid by Holders as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration or Total Consideration, as the case may be, for all Tax purposes and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Law pursuant to a determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

No bond shall be required of the Holder Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Holder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Holders.
(d) No Liability. Certain Holders have entered into an engagement agreement with the Holder Representative to provide direction to the Holder Representative in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (such Holders, including their Representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Holder Representative (together with its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees) nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Holder Representative Group”) shall be liable to any Holder for any act done or omitted hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement as the Holder Representative while acting in good faith and without gross negligence, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Holders shall severally and not jointly, in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, indemnify the Holder Representative Group and hold it harmless against any loss, liability, fee or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Holder Representative Group and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder or under any Holder Representative engagement agreement. The Holder Representative may receive reimbursement for any and all fees, costs, expenses, charges, damages, judgments and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees, fees of disbursements and costs of other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), reasonably incurred by the Holder Representative in the performance or discharge of its rights and obligations under this agreement (collectively, the “Holder Representative Expenses”); provided, however, that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability with respect to such items. Such Representative Expenses may be recovered first, from the Expense Fund, second, from any distribution of the Escrow Amount, Specified Matter Escrow Amount or any Deferred Merger Consideration otherwise distributable to the Holders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Holders, in each case based on each Holder’s Pro Rata Share.

The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Holder Representative and the Advisory Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of the respective Holder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Holder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Amount or Specified Matter Escrow Amount.

The Holder Representative will hold the Expense Fund separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make it available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Holder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Holder Representative shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
