AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the “Agreement”) dated as of May 20, 2010 is entered into by and among LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office located in Lexington, Kentucky (“Buyer”); 2010 PARIS ACQUISITION CO., a Delaware corporation (“MergerCo”); PERCEPTIVE SOFTWARE INC., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office located in Shawnee, Kansas (“Seller”); and Xxxx Xxxxx, as the Stockholders’ Agent, solely for the purpose of Sections 8.3 through 8.6 hereof.

RECITALS

A. The respective Boards of Directors of each of Seller, Buyer and MergerCo believe it is in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders that Seller and MergerCo combine into a single company through the statutory merger of MergerCo with and into Seller with Seller as the Surviving Corporation (the “Merger”) and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger.

B. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Seller are executing and delivering Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreements with the Buyer and certain employees of the Seller are executing and delivering Executive Employment Agreements in favor of the Buyer.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the representations, warranties, agreements, provisions and covenants set forth below, Buyer, MergerCo and Seller hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2(b)) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) and the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), MergerCo shall be merged with and into Seller, the separate corporate existence of MergerCo shall cease and Seller shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

1.2. Closing of the Merger

(a) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. local time, at the offices of Xxxxxxxx & Shohl LLP, 000 X. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than five (5) business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI and VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) or at such

other time, date and place as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree (the date on which the Closing occurs being referred to as the “Closing Date”).

(b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing being the “Effective Time”).

1.3. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, MergerCo shall be merged with and into Seller and the separate existence of MergerCo shall cease, Seller shall be the Surviving Corporation and the separate existence of Seller, with all its purposes, objects, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the title to all real estate and other property owned by Seller and MergerCo shall vest in Seller without reversion or impairment, and all the liabilities of Seller and MergerCo shall remain or become, as the case may be, the liabilities of Seller.

1.4. The Merger Consideration. The total consideration to be paid by Buyer in the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) shall be comprised of the following:

(a) Closing Date Cash Consideration. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash in the amount of Two Hundred Eighty Million Dollars ($280,000,000.00) less (i) any fees and expenses payable to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx in connection with the Merger and any and all transaction related expenses of Seller, including, but not limited to accounting, legal, tax, financial advisors and other professional fees and costs, incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (collectively the “Transaction Expenses”); and (ii) the Escrow Fund provided for in Section 1.4(b) of this Agreement (the “Closing Date Cash Consideration ”). The Closing Date Cash Consideration will be distributed to the stockholders of the Seller (the “Stockholders”) as described in Section 1.7 of this Agreement.

(b) Escrow Fund. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with Computershare or its successor in interest or other institution selected by Buyer with the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) cash in the amount of Twenty-Eight Million Dollars ($28,000,000) in order to partially secure the indemnification obligations of Seller under Section 8.2(b) hereof. Such deposit (together with any income thereon) will constitute the Escrow Fund ( the “Escrow Fund”) to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”). All costs, fees, charges and expenses assessed by Escrow Agent to maintain the escrow account as required hereunder, and any and all penalties, obligations and liabilities associated therewith or arising therefrom shall be paid by Buyer. On the date that represents the fifteenth month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Termination Date”) any amounts remaining (i) after the payment and satisfaction of any and all indemnification claims under Section 8.2(b), and (ii) net of any amounts held back for the purposes of pending claims, shall be distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. All earnings and interest accrued on the Escrow Fund shall remain in the Escrow Fund until

termination of the escrow, and shall be released, subject to any pending claims, to the Stockholders. The Escrow Agent shall manage and disburse the contents of the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and this Section 1.4(b).

(c) Transaction Expenses. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Persons entitled thereto, the amount of all Transaction Expenses.

1.5 MergerCo Common Stock. At the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Buyer, MergerCo, Seller or any holder of any share of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred Stock (each as defined in Section 1.7(a)), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of MergerCo issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”). Such shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time.

1.6 Dissenting Shares; Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any holder of shares of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred Stock who has demanded and perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal rights (“Eligible Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.7, but rather the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such appraisal rights as are granted by the DGCL.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any holder of Eligible Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) its appraisal rights, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article I, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred Stock (“Certificate”) in the manner provided in Section 1.7.

1.7 Conversion of Seller Common Stock and Seller Preferred Stock; Designation of Paying Agent; Distribution of Closing Date Cash Consideration.

(a) At the Effective Time, automatically and by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Seller, Buyer or MergerCo, each issued and outstanding share of (i) common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Seller (the “Seller Common Stock”), and (ii) preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share of Seller, including the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Seller Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Eligible Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.4(d)) and treasury stock as provided in Section 1.8) shall be converted and exchanged for the right to receive (A) an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Closing Amount (as defined below); plus (B) any cash disbursements required to be made from the Escrow Fund with respect to such share of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred

Stock to the former holder thereof in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement (as and when such disbursements are required to be made). All shares of Seller Common Stock and Seller Preferred Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Closing Date Cash Consideration therefore upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.7, without interest. The “Per Share Closing Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the (1) Closing Date Cash Consideration by (2) the sum of the aggregate number of shares of Seller Common Stock and Seller Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall calculate and the amount of consideration payable to each Stockholder and deliver a statement to Buyer containing the following information (the “Closing Date Cash Consideration Calculation”): (i) the aggregate amount of Transaction Expenses paid or payable (including any Transaction Expenses that will become payable after the Effective Time with respect to services performed or actions taken prior to the Effective Time); and (ii) with respect to each Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, (A) the name and address of record of each Stockholder, (B) the number of shares of Seller Common Stock and Seller Preferred Stock of each class and series held by each such Stockholder, (C) the consideration that each such stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.7, and (D) the cash amount to be contributed to the Escrow Fund with respect to the shares of Seller Common Stock and Seller Preferred Stock held by each such Stockholder.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer and Seller will (i) designate Computershare or other commercial bank or trust company to act as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the benefit of Stockholders (other than the Eligible Dissenting Shares) in the Merger, and Buyer (or MergerCo) will enter into a Paying Agent Agreement acceptable to Seller with the Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent Agreement”), pursuant to which, after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will distribute the Closing Date Cash Consideration on a timely basis, and (ii) irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent the Closing Date Cash Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the cash contemplated to be paid to Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.4(a) and Section 1.7 out of the funds held for such purpose, which funds shall not be used for any other purpose. Buyer shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent and Buyer shall be entitled to receive any and all interest on the funds held by Paying Agent pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Closing, Seller may provide the letter of transmittal, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Letter of Transmittal”), to certain of its Stockholders. If a Letter of Transmittal is delivered and a Certificate is properly surrendered to Buyer prior to the Closing, then Buyer shall pay the portion of the Closing Date Cash Consideration to be paid to the holder of such Certificate pursuant to Section 1.7 by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the Closing. As promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three business days) after the Effective Time, Buyer or the Surviving Corporation will cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record who did not deliver a completed Letter of Transmittal to Buyer at the Closing: (i) a Letter of Transmittal and (ii) instructions for use in

effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the aggregate Closing Date Cash Consideration previously represented by such Certificates, pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Paying Agent pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor its portion of the Closing Date Cash Consideration in accordance with Section 1.7 for each share of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, to be distributed as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (after giving effect to any required tax withholding) in each case without interest, and the Certificate so surrendered will immediately be cancelled. Until surrendered and exchanged, each outstanding Certificate which, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred Stock, shall be deemed to represent and evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid therefor. No interest shall accrue or be payable with respect to the Closing Date Cash Consideration which any Stockholder shall be entitled to receive. Paying Agent shall be authorized to pay Merger Consideration attributable to any Certificate theretofore issued which has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of ownership of the shares of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred Stock represented thereby and of customary indemnification.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, any portion of the Closing Date Cash Consideration (plus any interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of such funds) which remains undistributed to the holders of shares of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred Stock as of 2 years following the Closing Date will be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any holders of shares of Seller Common Stock or Seller Preferred Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 1.7 must thereafter look, as general creditors, only to the Surviving Corporation for the Merger Consideration, without interest.

1.8 Cancellation of Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, automatically and by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the Buyer or MergerCo, each share of Seller Common Stock issued and held immediately prior to the Effective Time in the Seller’s treasury will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

1.9 Stock Options and Warrants. On or prior to the Effective Time, Seller shall cause any and all outstanding options to purchase Seller Common Stock (the “Seller Stock Options”) to be either exercised or terminated and cancelled effective as of the Effective Time of the Merger.

1.10 No Further Ownership Rights in the Seller Common Stock. The Merger Consideration delivered upon the surrender for exchange of any shares of Seller Common Stock

in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been delivered in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Seller Common Stock.

1.11 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws; Directors and Officers.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of MergerCo hereto, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as permitted by the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) The Bylaws of MergerCo, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended.

(c) At the Effective Time, the directors and officers of MergerCo, as in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation until his or her respective successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified.

2.3 No Breach. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.3, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not, conflict with, or result in any material violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation, or result in the creation of any mortgages, pledges, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances or security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Liens”) upon any of the properties or assets of Seller, pursuant to any provision of: (a) the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Seller; (b) any of the Listed Agreements; or (c) subject to the governmental filings and other matters referred to in Section 2.4, any material constitution, statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to Seller or its properties or assets.

2.4 Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local government or any court, administrative agency, commission or other governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign (each, a “Governmental Entity”), is required by or with respect to Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller or the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (a) the filing of a premerger notification and report form by Seller under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act ”), if applicable, and other filings as may be required under applicable Antitrust Laws, (b) the filing of the Certificate of Merger as contemplated by Section 1.1 and (c) such approvals as may be required under applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws.

Except as set forth on Schedule 2.5, there is no action, suit, or other proceeding threatened against Seller.

2.6 Financial Statements. Seller has delivered to Buyer the following financial statements: (a) audited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows (together with the auditors’ report thereon) for the year ended June 30, 2009, together with notes to such financial statements (the “Audited Financial Statements”), and (b) unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2010 (the “Interim Financial Statements ”). The Audited Financial Statements and Interim Financial Statements are herein collectively referred to as the “Financial Statements.” The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP ”) consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby, present fairly in all material respects, as of their respective dates, the financial condition and results of operations of Seller (subject, in the case of Interim Financial Statements, to the disclosures contained in any notes thereto and normal, recurring year-end adjustments that may be required upon audit and the omission of footnote disclosures) and are consistent with the books and records of Seller.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Seller Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change, effect, development, circumstance or occurrence (each, an “Effect”) that, individually, or together with any other Effect (A) has or would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or financial performance of Seller, or (B) materially impairs the ability of Seller to consummate the Merger contemplated by this Agreement; provided that “Seller Material Adverse Effect” shall not be deemed to include the impact of, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been or would be, a Seller Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Effects of compliance with this Agreement, including such compliance as consented to by Buyer (ii) Effects after the date of this Agreement resulting from changes in general economic or industry conditions except to the extent that such changes affect Seller in a manner disproportionate to the effect of companies in its industry generally, (iii) Effects (including any loss of employees, any cancellation of or delay in customer orders, any litigation or any disruption in supplier, distributor, partner or similar relationships) resulting from and attributable to the announcement of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, (iv) Effects resulting from or arising out of any natural disaster or any acts of terrorism, sabotage, military action or war or any escalation or worsening thereof, (v) Effects directly resulting from any event, occurrence, development or state of circumstances disclosed in or incorporated by reference into the Disclosure Schedules, with respect to the Seller, or (vi) Effects resulting from or arising out of changes in GAAP or applicable laws.

2.8 Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.8, Seller does not have any material liability (whether known or unknown, whether asserted or unasserted, whether absolute or contingent, whether accrued or unaccrued, whether liquidated or unliquidated, and whether due or to become due, including any liability for taxes), except for (a) liabilities set forth

on the face of or reserved for in the Financial Statements (rather than in any notes thereto), (b) liabilities that have arisen after the date of the Interim Financial Statements in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, (c) those incurred by the Seller in connection with this Agreement and (d) those not required to be reflected in the liabilities column of a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP.

2.9 Compliance with Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable laws (including rules, regulations, codes, plans, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings and charges thereunder) of any Governmental Entity. Schedule 2.9 sets forth a true and correct list of all material licenses, permits (including environmental and occupancy permits), certificates, registrations, approvals, franchises, consents and other authorizations of Seller obtained from or filed with a Governmental Entity and used in connection with Seller’s business (the “Permits”) necessary in connection with the operation of Seller’s business, and, except as set forth on Schedule 2.9, Seller holds all such Permits in full force and effect. Seller is not in violation of such Permits, and there is no pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened revocation, cancellation or suspension of any such Permit.

2.10 Taxes.

(a) Seller duly and timely filed all tax returns, schedules, declarations, and tax-related documents (collectively, “Tax Returns”) that it was required to file under applicable laws and regulations. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects and were prepared in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. All Taxes (as defined in Section 2.10) due and owing by Seller (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid, other than any Taxes for which adequate reserves satisfying the provisions of subsection (g) below and Section 4.9 have been established on the Seller’s balance sheet. Seller is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return, other than income Tax Returns for Seller’s fiscal 2009 taxable year. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where Seller does not file Tax Returns that Seller is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no Liens for Taxes (other than Taxes not yet due and payable) upon any of the assets of Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, “Taxes” means any federal, state, local, foreign, or other tax (whether income, sales, use, franchise, transfer, withholding, excise, real or personal property, employment or other kind of tax), assessment, levy, fee, impost, withholding, or other similar governmental charge, and shall include all interest and penalties thereon.

No federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax audits or administrative or judicial Tax proceedings are pending or being conducted with respect to Seller. Seller has not received from any Governmental Entity or other taxing authority (including jurisdictions where Seller has not filed Tax Returns) any (i) notice indicating an intent to open an audit or other

review, (ii) request for information related to Tax matters, or (iii) notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment for any amount of Tax proposed, asserted, or assessed by any Governmental Entity or other taxing authority against Seller, that has not been resolved. Schedule 2.10(c) lists all federal, state, local, and non-U.S. income Tax Returns filed with respect to Seller for taxable periods ended on or after December 31, 2005, indicates those Tax Returns that have been audited, and indicates those Tax Returns that currently are the subject of audit. Seller has delivered or made available to Buyer correct and complete copies of all income Tax Returns, examination reports, and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by Seller filed or received since December 31, 2005.

(d) Seller has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency that is still in effect. Seller has not received any written ruling related to Taxes or entered into any agreement with any Governmental Entity or other taxing authority relating to Taxes.

Seller has not been a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Code §897(c)(2) during the applicable period specified in Code §897(c)(1)(A)(ii). None of the assets of Seller are “tax exempt use property” within the meaning of Code §168(h). Seller has disclosed on its federal income Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a substantial understatement of federal income Tax within the meaning of Code §6662. Seller is not a party to or bound by any Tax allocation or Tax sharing agreement. Seller (A) has not been a member of any “affiliated group” within the meaning of Code §1504(a) or any similar group defined under a similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. law filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return (other than a group the common parent of which was Seller) and (B) does not have any liability for the Taxes of any Person under Reg. §1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means any natural person, corporation, limited liability company, general partnership, limited partnership, sole proprietorship, trust, union, association, Governmental Entity or other business organization.

(f) Seller has no deferred gains or losses arising out of any intercompany transactions.

(g) The unpaid Taxes of Seller (i) did not, as of the most recent fiscal month end, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the most recent balance sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (ii) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of

Seller in filing its Tax Returns. Since the date of the most recent balance sheet, Seller has not incurred any liability for Taxes arising from extraordinary gains or losses, as that term is used in GAAP, other than any items arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) Seller will not be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date that would give rise to a liability for Taxes for such taxable period or portion thereof as a result of any: (i) change in method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) “closing agreement” as described in Code §7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. income Tax law) executed on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) “intercompany transaction” or “excess loss account” described in Treasury Regulations under Code §1502 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. income Tax law); (iv) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date; or (v) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Except as required in connection with qualified plan amendments required by tax law changes, the vesting of accrued benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code as a result of termination of that plan or as disclosed on Schedule 2.16(c), the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not: (i) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount, of compensation due to any employee, officer, former employee or former officer of Seller or any ERISA Affiliate; or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition of any restrictions or limitations on the right of Seller or any ERISA Affiliate or the Buyer to amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan. No amount that will be received (whether in cash or property or vesting of property), or benefit provided to, any officer, director or employee of Seller or any ERISA Affiliate who is a “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation 1.280G-1) under any employment, severance or termination agreement, other compensation arrangement or benefit plan currently in effect as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be an “excess parachute payment” (as such term is defined in section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and no such person is entitled to receive any additional payment from Seller or any ERISA Affiliate in the event that the excise tax of Section 4999(a) of the Code is imposed on such person.

Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use its reasonable best efforts to assume all Employee Benefit Plans and other employment-related obligations and agreements with respect to any current or former employees of Seller (“Seller Employees”), provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation from amending, modifying, suspending or terminating any or all Employee Benefit Plans or other employment-related obligations or agreements with respect to any Seller Employees in its discretion at any time, provided, further, that prior to December 31, 2011, such amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall not materially reduce in the aggregate the benefits provided to Seller Employees as of the Effective Time.

(b) Pre-Existing Limitations; Service Credit. With respect to any Employee Benefit Plans of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates in which Seller Employees

participate after the Effective Time, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or such affiliates to: (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Seller Employees to the extent such limitations were waived or otherwise satisfied under the comparable Employee Benefit Plans, and (ii) recognize all regular employee service of Seller Employees with Seller and its current and former affiliates for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, form of payment and calculation of the rate of benefits (if applicable) relating to service after the Effective Time, but not (A) to the extent such recognition would result in duplication of benefits or (B) for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or equity plan, and only to the same extent such service would be taken into account under a comparable Employee Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.

5.4 Consents; Cooperation.

(a) Each of Buyer and Seller shall promptly apply for or otherwise seek, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, all consents and approvals required to be obtained by it for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including those required under the HSR Act and any foreign antitrust laws, including submitting any such required filings or other request for approvals related to Antitrust Laws (as defined in 5.4(b) below) no later than four (4) business days after execution of this Agreement. The parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any other antitrust or fair trade law.

(b) Each of Buyer and Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any governmental entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act, the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other Federal, state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders or decrees that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”). In connection therewith, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and use all commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent (each an “Order”), that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, unless by mutual agreement Buyer and Seller decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any obligation to litigate or contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding or any Order beyond the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the date hereof or (ii) the date of a ruling preliminarily enjoining the Merger issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each of Buyer and Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of

the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible after filing the notification and report form under the HSR Act.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Buyer shall not be required to divest any of its businesses, product lines or assets, or to take or agree to take any other action or agree to any limitation that could reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect after the Closing Date or a material adverse effect on Buyer, and (ii) Seller shall not be required to divest any of its businesses, product lines or assets, or to take or agree to take any other action or agree to any limitation that could reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

5.5 Exercise of Stock Options; Payment of One Time Bonus and Dividend. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, which shall include accelerating the vesting provisions in the Seller Stock Options if necessary, to cause the Stockholders to exercise any and all outstanding Seller Stock Options prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall be permitted to pay a one-time bonus (the “One Time Bonus”) to certain of its selected employees prior to Closing out of the proceeds of the exercise of the Seller Stock Options. Prior to the payment of the One Time Bonus, Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer of the aggregate amount of the One Time Bonus, the intended recipients and the individual amounts to be paid to the recipients. Seller shall cause the One Time Bonus to be treated as compensation for accounting and tax purposes. In the event that the proceeds of the exercise of the Stock Options exceed the One Time Bonus (the “Stock Option Excess”), Seller may issue a dividend to the Stockholders for any or all of the amount of such excess in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

5.6 Director and Officer Indemnification; Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Seller pursuant to any agreement of the Seller providing for the indemnification of its officers or directors (the current and former officers and directors of the Seller, and all other persons entitled to be indemnified pursuant to such agreements being referred to collectively as the “Seller Indemnified Parties”). From and after the Effective Time, except to the extent otherwise required to comply with applicable law, Buyer shall cause the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation to contain the provisions with respect to exculpation from liability no less favorable to the beneficiaries thereof than those set forth in the Seller’s certificate of incorporation immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.6(a), during the period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless each Seller Indemnified Party against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Seller Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Seller or any of its subsidiaries (regardless of whether such action or omission,

or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date) or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Seller Indemnified Party delivers to Buyer a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 5.6(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (i) Buyer will have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, Buyer will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Seller Indemnified Parties’ entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto), (ii) any counsel retained by the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to the defense thereof for any period after the Effective Time must be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and (iii) after the Effective Time, Buyer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, promptly after statements therefor are received (provided that in the event of a final non-appealable judicial determination that any Seller Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, any amounts advanced on his or her behalf shall be remitted to the Surviving Corporation); provided, however, that neither Buyer nor the Surviving Corporation, nor any Seller Indemnified Party, will be liable for any settlement effected without its, his or her express written consent. The Seller Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm (in addition to local counsel) to represent them with respect to any single action unless counsel for any Seller Indemnified Party determines in good faith that, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict exists or is reasonably likely to arise on any material issue between the positions of any two or more Seller Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.6(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 5.6 unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Seller Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(c) From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause to be maintained in effect, for the benefit of the Seller Indemnified Parties, the current level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as set forth in the Seller’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(d) This Section 5.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time, is intended to benefit and may be enforced by the Seller Indemnified Parties, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation.

5.7 Certain Employment and Other Agreements. Buyer and certain employees of Seller are entering into certain employment and other related agreements concurrently with this Agreement, which agreements shall be held in escrow by Buyer until the Closing Date, at which time they will be released and become effective. In the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to Closing, any and all such agreements with Seller’s employees shall be void and without further force or effect.

5.8 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will, from time to time after the date of this Agreement, execute and deliver such other certificates, documents and instruments and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by any of the other parties to carry out the actions and transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Seller in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the supplements to the Disclosure Schedule shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the Merger until the Escrow Termination Date, except that the representations and warranties in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.10, 2.16, 3.1 and 3.2 (the “Specified Representations”) shall survive until thirty (30) days beyond the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and no claims for breach of representations, warranties, covenants and obligations may be brought after the Escrow Termination Date, or with respect to the Specified Representations, thirty (30) days beyond the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 8.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 8.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

(b) The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to or any knowledge acquired at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy, inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

8.2 Indemnification.

(a) After the Closing Date, the Stockholders thereafter shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, MergerCo and the Surviving Corporation and each of its respective agents, representatives, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, controlling persons and affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”), and shall reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for, any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense (including, but not limited to, costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, “Damages”) actually paid or suffered as a result of (i) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Seller in Article II of this Agreement or the Seller Closing Certificate, and (ii) any failure of Seller to perform or comply with any agreement to be performed or complied with by it in this Agreement. Each Stockholder shall be severally, and not jointly, liable on a pro rata basis for its respective indemnification obligations under this

Section 8.2(a), which shall be determined based on the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate consideration payable to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.7 by the aggregate Closing Date Cash Consideration (the “Pro Rata Portion”).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.2 until the aggregate amount of all Damages under this Section 8.2 incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees (collectively) exceeds $1,250,000 (the “Seller Threshold”); provided, however, that all claims of Buyer Indemnitees under Section 8.2 shall accrue in the aggregate until the Damages of Buyer Indemnitees exceed the Seller Threshold, and thereupon the Buyer Indemnitees shall become entitled to be to indemnified for only such Damages that exceed $500,000.

(c) Subject to the following sentence, but notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, recourse to the Escrow Fund shall be the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing for claims pursuant to Article VIII. After the funds in the Escrow Fund have been exhausted, the Buyer Indemnitees may seek recourse directly from the Stockholders for claims for indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) for Damages resulting from a failure of the Specified Representations to be true, provided that the maximum amount the Buyer Indemnitees may recover directly from any Stockholder for all such claims shall be limited in the aggregate to the portion of the proceeds actually received by such Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement (it being understood that any amounts held on behalf of a Stockholder in the Escrow Fund shall not be deemed to have been “actually received” for purposes of this Section 8.2(c) unless and until such amounts have been actually distributed to such Stockholder). Except as otherwise provided herein, no current or former stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate or advisor of the Seller shall have any personal or individual liability of any nature to the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation set forth in, or any other breach of, this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Buyer from bringing a common law action for actual fraud with intent to deceive against any Person whose own such fraud has caused Buyer to incur Damages or limit the Damages recoverable by Buyer in such common law action, provided that no Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover more than once for the same Damages.

(d) Without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Article VIII, for purposes of this Agreement, none of the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to be or to have been inaccurate if, during the period from the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Effective Time, (i) the Seller delivers written notice of the inaccuracy to Buyer or MergerCo and (ii) Buyer and MergerCo nonetheless elect to proceed with the Closing.

(e) The amount of any Damages that are subject to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be calculated net of: (i) any tax benefit received or receivable by the Buyer Indemnitees in connection with such Damages or any of the events or circumstances giving rise or otherwise related to such Damages; and (ii) the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements received or receivable by the Buyer Indemnitees in connection with such Damages or any of the events or circumstances giving rise or otherwise related to such Damages. The Buyer Indemnitees shall seek full

recovery under all insurance policies covering any Damages to the same extent as they would if such Damages were not subject to indemnification hereunder.

(f) To the extent the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII, the Stockholders’ Agent shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Buyer Indemnitees may have against any other Person with respect to any Damages, circumstances or matter to which such indemnification payment is directly or indirectly related. The Buyer Indemnitees shall permit the Stockholders’ Agent to use the name of any of the Buyer Indemnitees in any transaction or in any action or proceeding or other matter involving any of such rights or remedies, and the Buyer Indemnitees shall take such actions as the Stockholders’ Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Stockholders’ Agent to perfect or exercise the right of subrogation of the Stockholders’ Agent hereunder.

(g) Promptly after any of the Buyer Indemnitees becomes aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to any indemnification claim by a Buyer Indemnitee under this Article VIII, such Buyer Indemnitee shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate and minimize all Damages that may result from such event or circumstance.

8.3 Indemnification Payment.

(a) Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.3 unless it has duly delivered a written notice to the Stockholders’ Agent and the Escrow Agent (any such notice being referred to as a “Notice of Indemnification Claim,” and the claim for indemnification described in such Notice of Indemnification Claim being referred to as an “indemnification claim”), setting forth: (i) the specific representation and warranty alleged to have been breached by the Company; (ii) a detailed description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the alleged breach of such representation and warranty; and (iii) the aggregate dollar amount of the Damages being claimed with respect to the breach referred to in such notice (the aggregate amount of such estimate being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”).

(b) During the 45-day period commencing upon the receipt by the Stockholders’ Agent of a Notice of Indemnification Claim, the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver to Buyer and the Escrow Agent a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Stockholders’ Agent: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to Buyer; (ii) agrees that part (but not all) of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to Buyer; or (iii) asserts that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to Buyer. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed by the Stockholders’ Agent to be owed to Buyer pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Stockholders’ Agent asserts in the Response Notice that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to Buyer) shall be referred to as the “Contested Amount.” If the Stockholders’ Agent does not deliver a Response Notice within the aforementioned 45-day period, it shall be deemed to have submitted a Response Notice in which the Agreed Amount was equal to the Claimed Amount.

(c) If the Stockholders’ Agent delivers a Response Notice to Buyer agreeing that the full Claimed Amount is owed to Buyer, then, within three days following the receipt of such Response Notice by Buyer, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release the full Claimed Amount (or such lesser amount as may remain in the Escrow Fund) to Buyer from the Escrow Fund.

(d) If the Stockholders’ Agent delivers a Response Notice to Buyer agreeing that less than the full Claimed Amount is owed to Buyer, then, within three days following the receipt of such Response Notice by Buyer, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Agreed Amount (or such lesser amount as may remain in the Escrow Fund) to Buyer from the Escrow Fund.

(e) If the Stockholders’ Agent delivers a Response Notice to Buyer indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Stockholders’ Agent and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent resolve such dispute in writing, then a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to Buyer (the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent. Within three days after the execution of such settlement agreement, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Stipulated Amount (or such lesser amount as may remain in the Escrow Fund) to Buyer from the Escrow Fund.

(f) If the Stockholders’ Agent and Buyer are unable to resolve the dispute relating to any Contested Amount during the 30-day period commencing upon the receipt of the Response Notice by Buyer, then either Buyer or the Stockholders’ Agent may submit the contested portion of the indemnification claim to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 8.3. The final decision of the arbitrator shall include the dollar amount of the award to Buyer, if any (the “Award Amount”), and shall be furnished to the Stockholders’ Agent and Buyer in writing. Within three days following the receipt of the final award of the arbitrator setting forth the Award Amount, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Award Amount (or such lesser amount as may remain in the Escrow Fund) to Buyer from the Escrow Fund.

(g) If the aggregate amount remaining in the Escrow Fund as of the Escrow Termination Date (the “Aggregate Escrow Balance”) exceeds the aggregate dollar amount, as of the Escrow Termination Date, of (i) the Contested Amounts associated with all indemnification claims that have not been finally resolved and paid prior to the Termination Date in accordance with this Section 8.3, and (ii) any Claimed Amounts for which Stockholders’ Agent has not yet delivered a Response Notice (each, an “Unresolved Escrow Claim,” and the aggregate dollar amount of such Contested Amounts as of the Escrow Termination Date being referred to as the “Aggregate Pending Claim Amount”), then the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Fund, either (x) the Aggregate Distribution Amount to the Paying Agent, or (y) to each Participant, an amount determined by multiplying such Participant’s Pro Rata Portion by the Aggregate Distribution Amount, as shall be determined by Buyer and Stockholders’ Agent. For

purposes of this Section 8.3(g), the “Aggregate Distribution Amount” shall be the Aggregate Escrow Balance as of the Termination Date minus the Aggregate Pending Claim Amount.

(h) Following the Escrow Termination Date, if an Unresolved Escrow Claim is finally resolved, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days after the final resolution of such Unresolved Escrow Claim, a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund, either (i) the Excess Escrow Amount to the Paying Agent, or (ii) to each Participant an amount determined by multiplying such Participant’s Pro Rata Portion by the Excess Escrow Amount, as shall be determined by Buyer and Stockholders’ Agent. For purposes of this Section 8.3(h), the “Excess Escrow Amount” shall mean the amount (if any) by which the aggregate amount remaining in the Escrow Fund as of the date of resolution of such Unresolved Escrow Claim exceeds the aggregate amount of the Contested Amounts associated with all other remaining Unresolved Escrow Claims.

(i) The parties agree that any amounts released to Buyer from the Escrow Fund pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be treated as a reduction in the aggregate consideration paid in connection with the Merger for all income tax purposes.

8.4 Procedure for Indemnification--Third Party Claims. The Buyer shall with reasonable promptness give to the Stockholders’ Agent written notice if it or any of the other Buyer Indemnitees becomes aware of any liability, loss, damage, claim, cost and expense with respect to which indemnity under Section 8.2 may be asserted. If any claim is made by a third person or an action or proceeding commenced for which the any of the Buyer Indemnitees shall seek indemnity from the Stockholders, Buyer party shall give to the Stockholders’ Agent prompt written notice of the claim stating the nature and basis of such claim and, to the extent known, the amount of and remedy sought by such third person, and request the Stockholders’ Agent, on behalf of the Stockholders, to defend the same; provided, that the failure of the Buyer to deliver prompt written notice shall not result in any liability on the part of the Buyer (or result in the reduction of any right to indemnification) except to the extent of actual prejudice which results from such failure. The Stockholders’ Agent shall have the right to defend against such liability at its expense, and shall give written notice to the Buyer of the commencement of such defense with reasonable promptness after the giving of the written notice of the claim by the Buyer. The Buyer shall be entitled to participate with the Stockholders’ Agent in such defense (at the Buyer’s expense except with respect to defenses which are not available to the Stockholders’ Agent), but shall not be entitled in any way to release, waive, settle, modify or pay such claim without the written consent of the Stockholders’ Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the Stockholders’ Agent has assumed such defense. In the event the Stockholders’ Agent does not accept the defense of the matter as provided above, or does not notify the Buyer of its election to defend such a matter within 30 days after written notice from the Buyer, the Buyer shall have the full right to defend against such liability and consent to the entry of any judgment or settlement of the matter in such manner as it may deem appropriate. In the event the Stockholders’ Agent shall assume the defense, the Buyer shall cooperate in the defense of such action, and the records of the Buyer shall be available to the Stockholders’ Agent with respect to such defense, provided, however, that the Stockholders’ Agent shall not, in the defense of any such action, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement where such entry of

judgment or settlement does not include a provision releasing the Buyer Indemnitees from all liability with respect to such action, except with the written consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, except with the consent of the Stockholders’ Agent, no consent or settlement of any third party claim shall be determinative of the amount of Damages relating to such claim.

8.5 Stockholders’ Agent.

(a) Xxxx Xxxxx shall be constituted and appointed as agent (“Stockholders’ Agent”) for and on behalf of the Stockholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to Buyer of the cash or other property from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by Buyer, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, to consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any other Person. Such agency may be changed by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund from time to time upon not less than ten days’ prior written notice to Buyer. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Agent, [and the Stockholders’ Agent shall receive no compensation for his services]. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholders’ Agent shall constitute notice to or from each of the Stockholders.

The forwarding of a check by the Escrow Agent will satisfy and discharge the liability for any cash amounts due to the extent of the sum or sums represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax deducted or withheld as required by law) unless such check is not honored on presentation; provided that in the event of non-receipt of such check by the payee, or loss or destruction thereof, the Escrow Agent upon being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, will issue to such payee a replacement check for the amount of such check.

(h)

apprised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

(k)

(c)

Incapacity of Escrow Agent. In the event of the Escrow Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent acting together, shall forthwith appoint a successor escrow agent; failing such appointment by the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent, the retiring Escrow Agent, acting alone, may apply, at the expense of the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent, to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent; but any successor escrow agent so appointed by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Agent, acting together.

(d)

Consistent with applicable law, the sole obligation of the Escrow Agent with regard to tax reporting under this Section 13 shall be to the report amounts released from the Escrow Amount on the appropriate IRS form or forms.

10.	Anti-Money Laundering.

(a)

Each Party to this Agreement (other than the Escrow Agent) hereby represents to the Escrow Agent that any account to be opened by, or interest to be held by, the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement, for or to the credit of such Party, either (i) is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any third party; or (ii) is intended to be used by or on behalf of a third party, in which case such Party hereto agrees to complete and execute forthwith a declaration in the Escrow Agent's prescribed form as to the particulars of such third party.

(b)

The Escrow Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Escrow Agent, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Escrow Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on ten (10) days written notice to the other parties to this Agreement, provided (i) that the Escrow Agent's written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Escrow Agent's satisfaction within such ten (10) day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

11. Privacy.

(a)	Definition. Each party acknowledges and understands that any and all technical, trade secret, or business information, including, without limitation, financial information, business or marketing strategies or

plans, product development, Buyer or Stockholders’ Agent information, (including any non-public information of such Buyer or Stockholders’ Agent), proprietary information, or proprietary software (including methods or concepts used therein, sources code, object code, or related technical information) which has been or is disclosed to the other or has been or is otherwise obtained by the other, its affiliates, agents or representatives before or during the term of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”) is confidential and proprietary, constitutes trade secrets of the owner (or its affiliates), and is of great value and importance to the success of the owner’s (or its affiliates’) business. The parties shall treat the terms and conditions (but not the existence) of this Agreement as the Confidential Information of the other party. Confidential Information shall not include any information that is: (i) already known to the other party or its affiliates at the time of the disclosure; (ii) publicly known at the time of the disclosure or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or failure of the other party; (iii) subsequently disclosed to the other party or its affiliates on a non-confidential basis by a third party not having a confidential relationship with the owner and which rightfully acquired such information; or (iv) independently developed by one party without access to the Confidential Information of the other.

(b)

Use and Disclosure. All Confidential Information relating to a party will be held in confidence by the other party to the same extent and with at least the same degree of care as such party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of like kind and import, but in no event using less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither party will disclose, duplicate, publish, release, transfer or otherwise make available Confidential Information of the other party in any form to, or for the use or benefit of, any person or entity without the other party's consent. Each party will, however, be permitted to disclose relevant aspects of the other party's Confidential Information to its officers, affiliates, agents, subcontractors and employees to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement and such disclosure is not prohibited by the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999 (15 U.S.C. 6801 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time (the “GLB Act”), the regulations promulgated thereunder or other applicable law. Each party will establish commercially reasonable controls to ensure the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and to ensure that the Confidential Information is not disclosed contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, the GLB Act or any other applicable privacy law. Without limiting the foregoing, each party will implement such physical and other security measures as are necessary to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of the Confidential Information; (ii) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of the Confidential Information; and (iii) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of the Confidential Information. To the

extent that any duties and responsibilities under this Agreement are delegated to an agent or other subcontractor, the party ensures that such agent and subcontractor are contractually bound to confidentiality terms consistent with the terms of this Section 11.

(c)

Required or Permitted Disclosure. In the event that any requests or demands are made for the disclosure of Confidential Information, the party receiving such request will notify the other party to secure instructions from an authorized officer of such party as to such request and to enable the other party the opportunity to obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment, unless such notification is otherwise prohibited by law or court order. Each party expressly reserves the right, however, to disclose Confidential Information to any person whenever it is advised by counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to disclose such Confidential Information or if required by law or court order.

(d)

Unauthorized Disclosure. As may be required by law and without limiting either party's rights in respect of a breach of this Section, each party will (i) promptly notify the other party in writing of any unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of the other party's Confidential Information by any person or entity that may become known to such party; (ii) promptly furnish to the other party full details of the unauthorized possession, use or disclosure; and (iii) promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any such unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

(e)	Costs. Each party will bear the costs it incurs as a result of compliance with this Section 11.
