2.5 Directors and Officers.

2.6 Effect of Merger on the Target Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, Target or the Target Stockholders (subject, in each case, to the terms hereof, including Article IX hereof, and contingent upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Target Capital Stock in the manner set forth in Section 2.9 hereof):

(a) Target Common Stock. Each share of Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Dissenting Shares) shall be converted and exchanged into the right to receive an amount per share in cash equal to the consideration reflected in the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet, plus or minus, as applicable, the Pro Rata Portion, in cash, of any Working Capital Adjustment and less the Escrow Amount, plus any consideration required to be released from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Article IX of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

(e) Target Stock Options. Neither the Target Incentive Plan nor any Target Option shall be assumed by Acquiror or Merger Sub in connection with the Merger. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time, the vesting schedules of all outstanding in-the-money options to purchase Target Common Stock (each a “Target Option”) shall be accelerated in full in accordance with the Target Incentive Plan, and each option to purchase shares of Target Capital Stock (whether vested or unvested) that has not been exercised as of the Effective Time will be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof. At the Closing, Acquiror shall pay or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the amounts respecting Target Options as set forth on the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet to Administaff Companies II, L.P. (“Administaff”) on behalf of the respective parties identified on the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet in satisfaction of all amounts payable by Target to any holder of Target Options as a result of the Merger and transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively such payments, together with all withholding, deductions and Taxes (including employer Taxes) associated with such payments payable by Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation in connection therewith, the “Target Option Payments”). For the purposes of clarity, all employer Taxes, withholding amounts, or similar costs of Target (including as the Surviving Corporation) associated with the payment of any consideration pursuant to the Target Option Payments, shall be included as liabilities in calculating the Actual Adjusted Closing Working Capital. Target shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of a Target Option to enter into an Option Cancellation Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit N hereto (the “Option Cancellation Agreement”). Upon the receipt by Acquiror of an Option

Cancellation Agreement, the holder of the applicable Target Option shall become entitled to receive the applicable Target Option Payment, without interest, less all applicable tax withholdings and other deductions (which shall be withheld and paid by the Surviving Corporation). Target Option Payments shall not be subject to increase or decrease as a result of any Working Capital Adjustment.

(f) Target Warrants. At the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase Target Capital Stock then outstanding to the extent unexercised as of the Effective Time will be cancelled and extinguished pursuant to Section 6.7.

(g) Cancellation of Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, or Target, each share of Target Capital Stock, if any, owned by Target, or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Target, immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(h) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(i) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Target Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected such holder’s right for appraisal of such shares in accordance with Delaware Law and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal (“Dissenting Shares”), if any, shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive any portion of the Net Merger Consideration, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive only such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares under and pursuant to Delaware Law. Target shall give Acquiror prompt notice of any demand received by Target with respect to appraisal, and Acquiror shall have the right to direct and participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand. Acquiror agrees that, except with the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, or as required under Delaware Law, it will not permit the Surviving Corporation to voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such appraisal demand. Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation will provide the Stockholder Representative with copies of any and all notices, demands and other documents with respect to any such demands or proceedings and shall cooperate with, receive and consider in good faith the input from, and keep the Stockholder Representative fully informed with respect to the status of any such demands, negotiations or proceedings. Each holder of Dissenting Shares (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for shares of Target Capital Stock shall receive payment therefor (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, Acquiror shall issue and deliver, upon surrender by such stockholder of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Target Capital Stock, the portion of the Net Merger Consideration to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled under this Section 2.6 and the Certificate of Merger less the portion of the Note Consideration allocable to such stockholder that has been deposited in the Escrow Fund (as defined in Section 9.9 hereof) in respect of such shares of Target Capital Stock pursuant to Section 9.9 hereof.

(j) Aggregate Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Article ARTICLE IX hereof, by virtue of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Target Stockholders, in the aggregate and to the extent eligible under the terms of this Agreement, shall be entitled to receive no more than the Net Merger Consideration, subject to adjustment with respect to the indemnification obligations of Article ARTICLE IX and any Working Capital Adjustment.

(k) Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) Target has delivered to Acquiror an Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and a calculation of the Estimated Adjusted Closing Working Capital, which is set forth on Schedule 2.6(k)(i).

(ii) Acquiror shall cause Ernst & Young LLP to audit the Final Closing Balance Sheet within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, but if Ernst & Young LLP is unable to deliver the Final Closing Balance Sheet within sixty (60) days, as soon as practicable thereafter. Within five (5) business days of receipt of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, Acquiror will prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative a notice (the “Calculation Notice”) containing a calculation, in reasonable detail, of the actual Adjusted Working Capital of Target as of the Closing Date derived therefrom (the “Actual Adjusted Closing Working Capital”), and any amount by which the Actual Adjusted Closing Working Capital is less than or greater than the Estimated Adjusted Closing Working Capital. The Calculation Notice shall be accompanied by supporting schedules setting forth in reasonable detail the assets and liabilities and other matters included in or underlying such calculations. The Final Closing Balance Sheet delivered to the Target by the Acquiror pursuant to this Section 2.6(k)(ii) and the Calculation Notice shall be developed in accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the same accounting principles and policies used in the preparation of the Target Financial Statements to the extent in accordance with an audited GAAP presentation, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

(iii) (A) If, and to the extent that the Actual Adjusted Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Adjusted Closing Working Capital, the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis based upon the Pro Rata Portion to such extent to account therefor; and (B) if, and to the extent that the Actual Adjusted Closing Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Adjusted Closing Working Capital, the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be increased based upon the Pro Rata Portion to such extent to account therefor (in either case, a “Working Capital Adjustment”). The Working Capital Adjustments applicable to Target Common Stockholders shall be effected in the form of cash, and the Working Capital Adjustments applicable to Target Preferred Stockholders shall be effected in the form of Notes solely based on the principal value thereof. The Acquiror shall also provide the proposed Working Capital Adjustment to the Stockholder Representative as part of the Calculation Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(k)(ii).

(iv) If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with the calculation as reflected in the Calculation Notice (including the Actual Adjusted Closing Working Capital or the proposed Working Capital Adjustment), the Stockholder Representative may, within 30 days after delivery of the Calculation Notice, deliver (a) a notice to Acquiror setting forth with reasonable particularity the additional information that the Stockholder Representative believes was missing from or inconsistent with respect to the Calculation Notice and/or the supporting information that would be necessary in order for the Stockholder Representative to formulate a response with respect to the proposed Working Capital Adjustment (the “Notice of Missing Information”) or (b) a notice to Acquiror setting forth with reasonable particularity the Stockholder Representative’s calculation (a “Notice of Disagreement”). The Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which the Stockholder Representative disagrees, the reasons for such disagreement and the proposed revised Actual Adjusted Closing Working Capital or the proposed revised Working Capital Adjustment as calculated by the Stockholder Representative. If (x) the Stockholder Representative fails to deliver the Notice of Disagreement by the expiration of such 30-day period or (y) the Stockholder Representative

timely delivers a Notice of Missing Information, within 20 days after the Acquiror provides all of the information requested by the Notice of Missing Information, the Stockholder Representative fails to deliver the Notice of Disagreement to the Acquiror, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to Acquiror’s calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment on behalf of the Target Stockholders. For purposes of determining the Working Capital Adjustment, the Stockholder Representative and/or its representatives may examine the invoices and other underlying documents and information supporting any line items of the Final Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that such examination shall not include any working papers of Acquiror’s auditors or legal counsel, shall be restricted to the scope specified above and solely for the purpose of confirming that the Calculation Notice and supporting information, including the Final Closing Balance Sheet, fairly represents the Working Capital Adjustment.

(v) If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Notice of Disagreement in accordance with Section 2.6(k)(v), Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, use diligent good faith efforts to reach a written agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Working Capital Adjustment. If they are unable to resolve the dispute during such 30-day period, then the dispute shall be submitted to an independent United States accounting firm (which need not be one of the “big four” accounting firms, but shall not be Ernst & Young LLP or the Acquiror’s then-current auditing firm if different) mutually agreeable to Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative, which firm shall select one of its partners (the “Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator”) to promptly review this Agreement, the Final Closing Balance Sheet in accordance with Section 2.6(k)(ii) and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of making the Working Capital Adjustment calculation, which amount shall be within the bounds of the amounts asserted by Acquiror in the Calculation Notice and by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement (for the purpose of clarity, the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator shall not be bound when determining the Working Capital Adjustment calculation by any Closing determination of Estimated Adjusted Closing Working Capital). Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall enter into any engagement letter reasonably required by the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator to perform its, his or her services hereunder. Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation shall make available to the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator during the Surviving Corporation’s normal business hours and on terms that are mutually agreed upon by Acquiror and the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator, solely for purposes of determining the Working Capital Adjustment, underlying documents supporting any line items of the Final Closing Balance Sheet. A judgment of the determination made by the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator pursuant to this paragraph may be entered into and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereover. The Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative and Acquiror, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth such calculation and the Final Closing Balance Sheet and Working Capital Adjustment shall be revised accordingly. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. The cost of such review and report shall be shared by the Target Stockholders (by appropriate withdrawal from the Escrow Amount) and Acquiror on a pro rata basis based on: (i) the difference between the Working Capital Adjustment determined by the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator and the applicable party’s calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment as reflected in the Calculation Notice or the Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, (ii) divided by the difference between the calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment as reflected in the Calculation Notice and the Notice of Disagreement.

(l) Escrow. The setting aside of the Escrow Amount on behalf of a Target Stockholder shall be deemed to be in satisfaction of the respective liquidation preference and participation rights described above and set forth in the Target Certificate of Incorporation, such that any claims made against the Escrow Amount that reduce the amount actually received by a Target Stockholder shall not give rise to any claim by a Target Stockholder for adjustment to such stockholder’s portion of the Net Merger Consideration hereunder.

2.7 Payment of Debt. At the Closing, Acquiror shall pay or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Debt amounts set forth on Schedule 2.7 hereto to the respective parties set forth thereon in satisfaction of all Debt amounts outstanding at the Closing (collectively, the “Target Debt Payments”).

2.8 Payment of Target Change of Control Bonuses. At the Closing, Acquiror shall pay or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.8 hereto (the “Target Change of Control Bonus Schedule”) to Administaff Companies II, L.P. (“Administaff”) on behalf of the respective parties identified on Schedule 2.8 in satisfaction of all amounts payable by Target to any director, officer, employee or independent contractor of Target as a result of the Merger and transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the Target Acquisition Bonus Plan (collectively such payments, together with all withholding, deductions and Taxes (including employer Taxes) associated with such payments payable by Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation in connection therewith, the “Target Change of Control Bonus Payments”). For the purposes of clarity, all employer Taxes, withholding amounts, or similar costs of Target (including as the Surviving Corporation) associated with the payment of any consideration pursuant to the Target Acquisition Bonus Plan, shall be included as liabilities in calculating the Actual Adjusted Closing Working Capital.

2.9 Surrender of Certificates; Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (a “Certificate” and collectively, the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Target Capital Stock, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Net Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6, (i) letters of transmittal substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit K with respect to Target Preferred Stockholders and Exhibit K-1 with respect to Target Common Stockholders, (ii) such other customary documents as may be required pursuant to such letter of transmittal and (iii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for Net Merger Consideration (collectively, the “Transmittal Documents”). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Surviving Corporation or such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Acquiror, together with such Transmittal Documents, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the holder’s portion of the Net Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Target Capital Stock represented by such Certificate as determined pursuant to Section 2.6 and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Target Capital Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence the right to receive the portion of the Net Merger Consideration which shall be issued for such shares of Target Capital Stock.

(b) Delivery of Merger Consideration. All Net Merger Consideration delivered in cash shall be sent by Acquiror via wire or check, pursuant to the instructions set forth for such Target Stockholder on the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet or in the applicable Target Stockholder’s letter of transmittal. All Net Merger Consideration delivered in Notes shall be sent by Acquiror or Acquiror’s transfer agent or other designee via personal delivery, overnight courier or United States mail to the Target Stockholder at the address set forth for such Target Stockholder on the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet (or, at Acquiror’s discretion, such other address as such Target Stockholder has delivered to Acquiror in writing). Any Dissenting Stockholders that lose their status as such following the Effective Time and become converted into the right to receive the Net Merger Consideration shall be sent such applicable Net Merger Consideration within 30 days following such Dissenting Stockholder’s delivery of the applicable Certificate and Transmittal Documents.

(c) Unclaimed Payments. To the extent there exist any amounts of Net Merger Consideration not exchanged for Target Capital Stock within 24 months after the Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.9, any former Target Stockholders who theretofore have not complied with this Section 2.9 shall be entitled to look to Acquiror (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Net Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Neither Acquiror nor the Surviving Corporation nor Stockholder Representative shall be liable to any Target Stockholder or other Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.10 No Further Transfers. There shall be no further registration on the records of the Surviving Corporation of transfers of shares of Target Capital Stock outstanding at the Effective Time on or after the Effective Date.

2.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Acquiror shall only be obligated to deliver the Net Merger Consideration with respect to the Target Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate upon delivery of (a) an affidavit by such Target Stockholder regarding such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate and (b) an agreement by such Target Stockholder to indemnify Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation with respect to any claim that may be made against Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation or any of their agents with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.12 Tax Consequences. Each party has consulted with its own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the Merger.

2.13 Withholding Rights. Acquiror shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity by or on behalf of Acquiror, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by or on behalf of Acquiror.

2.14 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Each of Acquiror, Merger Sub, and Target will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as possible. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror are fully authorized (in the name of Target, Merger Sub or otherwise) to take all such lawful and necessary action.

Section 3.1 of the Target Disclosure Schedule lists each jurisdiction in which Target is qualified to do business and in good standing.

Target has furnished to Acquiror true and complete copies of its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date and currently in effect. Target is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. Target does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity.

3.2 Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of Target consists of 72,400,000 shares of Target Common Stock, of which there are issued and outstanding 6,630,645 shares, and 52,400,000 shares of Target Preferred Stock.

Target has delivered to Acquiror true and complete copies of each form of agreement or stock option plan evidencing each option to purchase Target Capital Stock. Except for the rights created pursuant to this Agreement, there are no other options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments or agreements of any character to which Target is a party or by which it is bound, obligating Target to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or redeemed, any shares of Target Capital Stock or obligating Target to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of, change the price of, or otherwise amend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement. Except as described above in this Section 3.2, there are no other contracts, commitments or agreements relating to voting, purchase or sale of Target Capital Stock (a) to which Target is a party, and (b) to Target’s knowledge, between or among any of Target’s stockholders. All shares of outstanding Target Common Stock and Target Preferred Stock and rights to acquire Target Capital Stock were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. As of the Effective Date, all of the shares of Target Capital Stock are held of record and owned beneficially by the persons and in the amounts as are set forth in the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet.

3.3 Authority. Target has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby by the stockholders of the Target in accordance with Delaware Law and the Target Organizational Documents, which will be sought after execution of this Agreement). The execution and delivery by Target of this Agreement and each of the other agreements set forth in Section 7.2 to which Target is a party and the consummation by Target of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by the necessary corporate action on the part of Target. The Board of Directors of Target has unanimously (a) approved this Agreement, the Merger and each of the other agreements set forth in

Section 7.2 to which Target is a party and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, with no directors voting against, (b) determined that in its judgment this Agreement is advisable and in the best interests of the Target Stockholders and (c) recommended that the Target Stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Target and constitutes or will constitute, as the case may be, a valid and binding obligation of Target enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally now or hereafter in effect and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether asserted in a proceeding in equity or at law. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with, or result in any violation of, or breach of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, or require a waiver or consent under (a) Target’s Organizational Documents, (b) any Material Contract, or (c) any permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, Order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Target or its properties or assets. To Target’s knowledge, no consent, approval, Order or Authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to Target in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and (ii) for such Authorizations needed to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the failure of which to obtain would not individually or in the aggregate have or would reasonably be expected to have, a Target Material Adverse Effect.

The Target Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of Target as of the dates, and during the periods indicated therein (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material individually or in the aggregate). Target maintains a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP.

Target has good and marketable title to all of its tangible properties, interests in properties and assets, real and personal, reflected in the Target Balance Sheet (and not shown therein as leased) or acquired after the Target Balance Sheet Date, and valid leasehold interests in all leased tangible properties and assets, free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, charges or encumbrances (collectively, “Encumbrances”) of any kind or character, except for (a) Encumbrances for current Taxes not yet due and payable, Taxes not yet delinquent or Taxes that are being contested in good faith by any appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in the Target Balance Sheet, (b) such imperfections of title, liens and easements as do not and will not materially detract from or interfere with the use of the properties subject thereto or affected thereby, or otherwise materially impair business operations involving such properties, (c) Encumbrances securing debt which is reflected on the Target Balance Sheet, (d) statutory or common law Encumbrances to secure landlords, lessors or renters under leases or rental agreements, (e) statutory or common law Encumbrances in favor of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics and materialmen to secure claims for labor, materials or supplies and other like Encumbrances, (f) Encumbrances imposed on the underlying fee interest of a landlord or owner in leased property, and (g) liens in favor of customs and revenue authorities arising as a matter of legal requirements to secure payments of customs duties in connection with the importation of goods (each of the Encumbrances set forth in (a)—(g), a “Permitted Encumbrance”). The plant, property and equipment of Target that are used in the operations of its business, taken as a whole, are in good operating condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. All properties used in the operations of Target are reflected in the Target Balance Sheet to the extent GAAP requires the same to be reflected. Target does not own any fee interest in any real property. Section 3.10 of the Target Disclosure Schedule identifies each parcel of real property leased by Target.

(g) Target does not currently maintain, sponsor, participate in or contribute to, nor has it ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in, or contributed to, any pension plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) which is subject to Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code.

(b) by either Acquiror or Target if the Closing shall not have occurred by July 15, 2008; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to (i) Target if any action or failure to act by Target shall have been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act shall have constituted a material breach of this Agreement, or (ii) Acquiror if any action or failure to act by Acquiror or Merger Sub shall have been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act shall have constituted a material breach of this Agreement;

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.

(a) Target. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Target made to Acquiror and set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule, instrument or other document delivered by any party to Acquiror pursuant to this Agreement at the Closing shall survive the Effective Time and remain in effect for the time periods specified in Section 9.6.

(b) Acquiror. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Acquiror made to Target and set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule, instrument or other document delivered by any party to the Acquiror pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time and remain in effect for the time periods specified in Section 9.6. The foregoing shall not limit or affect the validity or survival of Acquiror’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Transaction Documents, including the Notes, the Security Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, which shall survive in accordance with their respective terms.

9.2 Losses.

(a) Definition. “Losses” of any Person means any and all actually incurred claims, costs, losses, liabilities, obligations, fines, penalties, awards, amounts paid in settlement (in compliance with any restrictions imposed herein), Taxes, liens, damages and expenses (including reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) and any interest thereon; provided that in no event shall Losses include any incidental, consequential, speculative or punitive damages of any nature, regardless of the legal theory advanced. The term Losses as used herein is not limited to matters asserted by third parties, but may include Losses incurred or sustained in the absence of claims by a third party. “Acquiror Indemnitees” shall mean Acquiror, any Affiliate of Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns. “Target Stockholder Indemnitees” shall mean each Target Stockholder, their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and the respective heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the foregoing Persons. “Indemnitee” shall mean any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX. As used in this Article IX, an “Affiliate” of a Person shall include any direct or indirect Subsidiary or controlling Person of such Person (including the Surviving Corporation), and any officer, director or employee of such Person or any such Subsidiary.

(b) Mitigation; Offset. Each Loss for which Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any insurance proceeds which Indemnitee recovers with respect to such Loss; (ii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment which Indemnitee receives from any third party with respect to such Loss; and (iii) an amount equal to any net Tax Benefits of Indemnitee attributable to such Loss. If a Tax Benefit attributable to a Loss is realized by an Acquiror Indemnitee after the taxable year of payment of the Loss and on or before the Acquiror Indemnitee’s third taxable year ending after payment of the Loss, Acquiror shall pay to each indemnifying Target Stockholder an amount in cash equal to such stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the amount of such Tax Benefit.

(c) Limitation on Aggregate Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the Escrow Agreement, and in any of the agreements contemplated hereby or thereby, the maximum aggregate liability of any Target Stockholder to the Acquiror and Merger Sub, whether by reason of indemnification, reimbursement or other payment obligation of any type, any liability in tort, contract or otherwise, shall never exceed the aggregate amount of the Net Merger Consideration actually received by such Target Stockholder.

9.3 Indemnification by Target Stockholders.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, each Target Stockholder, severally in accordance with such Target Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by such Indemnitee which arise out of or in connection with:

(i) an inaccuracy in, or any breach of, any representation or warranty of Target contained in Article III of this Agreement (as modified by the Target Disclosure Schedule) or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered to Acquiror by Target at the Closing (it being agreed that for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss with respect thereto, all such representations and warranties of Target and the Target Stockholders that are qualified as to materiality or by reference to a Material Adverse Effect shall be deemed to be not so qualified);

(ii) a breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Target pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered by Target to Acquiror at Closing;

(iii) any claim by a Target Stockholder, former stockholder of Target, or any other Person or entity, seeking to assert, or based upon: (A) ownership or rights to acquire ownership of any shares of stock or other securities of Target; (B) any rights of a stockholder, preemptive rights or rights to notice or to vote; (C) any rights under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Target; (D) any claim that his, her or its shares were wrongfully repurchased by Target or (E) quasi-appraisal, breaches of fiduciary duties, or similar or related claims that arise out of or are based upon the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv) any negotiations, settlements or proceedings related to a demand for appraisal rights by a holder of Dissenting Shares; provided, however, that with respect to this clause, Losses shall only be deemed incurred to the extent (x) the aggregate amount of such Losses with respect to such negotiations, settlements or proceedings to all Dissenting Shares exceeds (y) the aggregate amount of the Net Merger Consideration that would have been received by such holders of Dissenting Shares had they exchanged their shares of Target Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.6 (the “Appraisal Losses”); and

(v) fraud or Intentional Breach by Target.

(b) Only Acquiror (or a Person or entity designated in writing by Acquiror) may bring a Claim (as defined herein) to recover for Losses that are economic losses of the Surviving Corporation or Acquiror.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Target Stockholder shall be responsible for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Acquiror Indemnitees exceeds a cumulative amount equal to $250,000 (the “Deductible”) and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible, except in the case of fraud or Intentional Breach, in which case the Deductible, once exceeded, also shall be recoverable.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.3(d), the sole recourse and exclusive remedy that the Acquiror Indemnitees shall have to satisfy any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(a) (but excluding a claim for indemnification for fraud or Intentional Breach by Target if the Escrow Fund has been exhausted and a claim for the Extended Representations if the Escrow Fund has been released), shall be the Indemnity Escrow Fund established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The cumulative indemnification obligation of all Target Stockholders under this Article IX shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the amount comprising the Indemnity Escrow Fund at the time a Claim is to be paid by the Target Stockholders pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Indemnity Cap”); provided, however, that the amounts payable in respect of an indemnity claim brought after the release of the Indemnity Escrow Fund and based upon an Extended Representation shall not exceed the final amount released from such Indemnity Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnity Cap shall not be applicable to any Losses incurred due to fraud or Intentional Breach by Target, for which the cumulative indemnification obligation of any Target Stockholder under this Article IX shall in no event exceed the Pro Rata Portion of the Net Merger Consideration actually received by such Target Stockholder.

(e) No claim for indemnification with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty may be made after the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 9.6 hereof with respect to such representation or warranty.

9.4 Indemnification of the Target Stockholders. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, the Acquiror Indemnitees agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Target Stockholder Indemnitees from and against Losses resulting from Third Party Claims (as defined herein) or Claims by or on behalf of Acquiror arising out of a breach of any representation and warranty made by the Acquiror or the Merger Sub in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.2, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16 (the “General Acquiror Representations”). Further, the holders of Notes shall be entitled to exercise their rights thereunder in the event of a breach of any representation and warranty made by the Acquiror or the Merger Sub in Sections 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22, 4.23, 4.24, 4.25, 4.26, 4.27 and 4.29 (the “Acquiror Note Representations”), but, in all cases, only in the event and to the extent that any such breach would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect Acquiror’s ability to pay the amounts owed under the Notes when they become due (a “Note Material Adverse Effect”).

9.5 Procedures.

(a) Procedures for Third-Party Claims.

(i) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee arising out of a matter for which such Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnitee shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) days of the receipt of the notice of such Third Party

Claim) notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (each, an “Indemnitor”) in writing of such claim (such notice to be delivered to the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Target Stockholders in the event of a Third-Party Claim against an Acquiror Indemnitee). The failure to notify promptly the Indemnitor hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. As used herein, “Third-Party Claim” means any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or like matter which is asserted or threatened by a party other than the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns against an Indemnitee.

(ii) Within 30 days after delivery of such notice, the Indemnitor may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnitee, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnitee shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnitor assumes control of such defense and the Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnitor be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and any appeal arising therefrom. In the case of Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation, such cooperation shall include the retention, and the provision to the Stockholder Representative (and its representatives) upon request, of records and information reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees of Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. An Acquiror Indemnitee shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Stockholder Representative shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of an Acquiror Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Acquiror Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Procedures for Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnitee should have a claim under this Agreement that does not involve a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim” and together with a Third-Party Claim, each a “Claim”), the Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such Direct Claim to the Indemnitor, in the case of a request for indemnification by the Target Stockholders, such notice to be delivered to the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Target Stockholders, promptly after the Indemnitee becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article IX. The failure by any Indemnitee to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such failure. Each notice of a Direct Claim shall set forth: (i) the specific representation, warranty, covenant or agreement alleged to have been breached; (ii) the nature and amount of the claim asserted, together with sufficient facts relating thereto so that the Indemnitor may reasonably evaluate such claim; and (iii) a calculation or good faith estimate, if such can be reasonably calculated, of the aggregate Losses to which the Indemnitee believes it is entitled in connection with the claim. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within 30 days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnitor disputes its liability to the Indemnitee (such notice on behalf of the Target Stockholders to come from the Stockholder Representative), such Direct Claim specified by

the Indemnitee in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of such Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnitee within ten (10) days after the expiration of such 30-day period, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

9.6 Termination of Indemnification.

(a) Target.

(i) Sections 3.12 (“Environmental Matters”), 3.13 (“Taxes”) and 3.14 (“Employee Benefit Plans”) are collectively referred to as the “Extended Representations”.

(ii) The Target Stockholders will only have indemnification obligations under Section 9.3 of this Agreement:

a. until the first anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to the representations and warranties other than the Extended Representations;

b. until the second anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.12 (“Environmental Matters”) and 3.14 (“Employee Benefit Plans”); and

c. until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.13 (“Taxes”), or for fraud and Intentional Breach.

(iii) Notwithstanding Section 9.6(a)(i), no such indemnification obligations shall terminate with respect to any item as to which any Acquiror Indemnitee has, before the expiration of such period, previously made a Claim against the Target Stockholder(s) by delivering a notice to the Stockholder Representative in accordance with this Agreement.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Claims for fraud or Intentional Breach may be made until the end of the applicable statute of limitations.

(b) Acquiror.

(i) Acquiror will only have indemnification obligations under Section 9.3 of this Agreement:

a. with respect to the General Acquiror Representations, until the first anniversary of the Closing Date;

b. with respect to the Acquiror Note Representations, until the earlier to occur of the payment of all amounts owing under the Notes or the conversion of all of the Notes.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 9.6(a)(i), no such indemnification obligations shall terminate with respect to any item as to which any Target Indemnitee has, before the expiration of such period, previously made a Claim against the Acquiror by delivering a notice to the Acquiror in accordance with this Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Claims for fraud may be made until the end of the applicable statute of limitations, and Claims for Intentional Breach may be made at any time the Notes are outstanding.

9.7 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification rights provided in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses of (i) the Acquiror Indemnitees against Target, the Target Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative, or any of their respective Affiliates, for any claim under this Agreement, and (ii) the Target Stockholder Indemnitees against Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates, for any claim under this Agreement. The foregoing sentence is in no way intended to affect the obligation of Acquiror to deliver the Net Merger Consideration at the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This Section 9.8 shall not affect the rights or remedies of third party beneficiaries under Section 6.9 or otherwise expressly provided for hereunder.

9.8 Dispute Resolution. In the event that an Indemnitor objects to any Claim in writing within 30 days after receipt of notice of a Claim of such dispute (in each case, an “Objection Notice”), and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute within 60 days of delivery of such Objection Notice. If such dispute is not so resolved within such 60 day period, then either the Indemnitee or the Indemnitor may demand arbitration of the matter to be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators (the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall each select one arbitrator within 15 days after the date that a demand for arbitration is made and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator within 15 days thereafter); provided, however, that no such arbitration may be initiated more than 120 days after the receipt by the Indemnitor of the applicable notice of Claim referred to in Section 9.5 and upon the expiration of such period the Claim will be deemed undisputed. If a party fails to select an arbitrator during such 15-day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected by the party that selected an arbitrator during such 15-day period. Any such arbitration shall be held in Austin, Texas under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any Claim shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Target Stockholders. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or Order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Within 30 days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

9.9 Escrow Provisions.

(a) Establishment of the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Amount shall be deposited with Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) and shall constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”), without any act of any Target Stockholder. The Escrow Fund will be governed by the terms set forth

herein and in the Escrow Agreement in substantially the form approved by Acquiror, Target, the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”) and shall be maintained at Acquiror’s sole cost and expense.

(b) Escrow Fund Period; Release from Escrow.

(i) The GD Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate upon the earlier of the receipt by Target from General Dynamics Corporation of an authorization to submit to it the GD Invoice (the “GD Authorization”) or at 5:00 p.m., Austin, Texas time, on the date (the “GD Escrow Expiration Date”) one year after the Effective Date (the period of time from the Effective Time through and including the GD Escrow Expiration Date is referred to herein as the “GD Escrow Fund Period”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that promptly after receipt of the GD Authorization, if received prior to the GD Escrow Expiration Date, Acquiror shall pay, or cause Surviving Corporation to pay, an amount determined in accordance with the calculations set forth on Exhibit A (the “GD Escrow Release Payment”). Any amounts remaining in the GD Escrow Fund after the earlier to occur of the GD Escrow Release Payment or the GD Escrow Fund Expiration Date shall be returned to Acquiror.

(ii) Subject to the following requirements, the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Stockholder Representative Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Austin, Texas time, on the date (the “Escrow Expiration Date”) two years after the Effective Date (the period of time from the Effective Time through and including the Escrow Expiration Date is referred to herein as the “Escrow Fund Period”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that (i) promptly after, but in any event within 15 days after, the first anniversary of the Effective Time, (1) an aggregate of $900,000 (less any reductions to the Indemnity Escrow Fund made for any Working Capital Adjustment and any Claims and any reserves for unresolved Claims made prior to such first anniversary), consisting of the Pro Rata Portions of Notes (or the cash or stock into which such amount of Notes shall have been converted if there are not sufficient Notes outstanding) in the case of Target Preferred Stockholders and cash in the case of Target Common Stockholders, shall be released from the Indemnity Escrow Fund if Target Stockholders holding less than 3,315,323 shares of Target Common Stock prior the Effective Time shall have delivered either (x) a Written Consent (even if after the Effective Time), (y) a Consent and Waiver in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q, or (z) other evidence reasonably acceptable to Acquiror that such Target Stockholder shall have consented to the Merger and the Agreement and waived all appraisal rights, quasi-appraisal rights, breach of fiduciary duty claims, or similar or related claims (“Target Stockholder Consent”); (2) an aggregate of $1,900,000 (less any reductions to the Indemnity Escrow Fund made for any Working Capital Adjustment and any Claims and any reserves for unresolved Claims made prior to such first anniversary), consisting of the Pro Rata Portions of Notes (or the cash or stock into which such amount of Notes shall have been converted if there are not sufficient Notes outstanding) in the case of Target Preferred Stockholders and cash in the case of Target Common Stockholders, shall be released from the Indemnity Escrow Fund if the Target Stockholders holding greater than 3,315,323 but less than 4,906,677 of the Target Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have provided a Target Stockholder Consent; (3) all of the Indemnity Escrow Fund (less any reductions to the Indemnity Escrow Fund made for Claims and any reserves for unresolved Claims made prior to such first anniversary) shall be released if the Target Stockholders holding at least 4,906,677 of the Target Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have provided a Target Stockholder Consent; and (ii) the remainder of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, if not released pursuant to clause (i) (less any reductions to the Indemnity Escrow Fund made for Claims and any reserves for unresolved Claims made after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Time) shall be released promptly after, but in any event within 15 days after, the first to occur of (x) the time when the Target Stockholders holding at least 4,906,677 of the Target Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have provided a Target Stockholder Consent, or (y) the two year anniversary the Closing Date.

(c) Substitution of Cash or Acquiror Stock. The parties agree, and the terms of the Escrow Agreement shall provide, that in the event that a Claim is to be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 9.5 and the Escrow Agreement, any holder of the Target Preferred Stock shall have the option, in such holder’s sole discretion, to satisfy such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of a Claim by delivering, in lieu of the Notes otherwise to be released from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (i) an amount of cash equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of such Claim or (ii) an aggregate number of shares of Acquiror Stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Claim. The fair market value for each share of the Acquiror Common Stock for the purposes of the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to be the average of the closing or bid prices (whichever is applicable) of the Acquiror Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the date of the settlement of the Claim.

(d) Protection of Escrow Fund; Distribution for Taxes. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Fund Period and shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement. Any amounts held in the Escrow Fund shall, to the maximum amount possible, be treated as contingent payments eligible to be reported on the installment method. The parties hereto agree that, for tax reporting purposes, Acquiror shall be the owner of the Escrow Fund.

9.10 Stockholder Representative.

(a) Each Target Stockholder, by virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the requisite vote of Target Stockholders, hereby consents and agrees to the appointment of Centennial Ventures VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as the “Stockholder Representative” for purposes of all matters to be performed by the Stockholder Representative expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement entered into by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Target Stockholders as contemplated hereunder (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Agreements”). The Stockholder Representative shall not be required to exercise any discretion or to take any action that exposes (or which the Stockholder Representative determines in its sole discretion could expose) the Stockholder Representative to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law.

(b) Each Target Stockholder, by virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the requisite vote of Target Stockholders, hereby constitutes and appoints (and acknowledges such appointment is coupled with an interest) the Stockholder Representative, including any replacement of any such Stockholder Representative, as attorney-in-fact for such Target Stockholder (except with respect to Target Stockholders, if any, who have caused their Target Capital Stock to become Dissenting Shares) with full power of substitution and authority, in its discretion to exclusively (except in the case of clause (vi) and clause (vii) of this paragraph below in the event of a claim not generally applicable to the Target Stockholders (a “Particular Claim”), in which case such authorization shall be non-exclusive), to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) enforce the Stockholder Representative Agreements against the parties hereto and thereto, including, but not limited to, paying expenses pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, (ii) execute any amendment, modification or waiver of the Stockholder Representative Agreements, (iii) give and receive notices (including service of process) and communications by or on behalf of any Target Stockholder under the Stockholder Representative Agreements, (iv) without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.10, take any action (or determine to take no action) in connection with the defense, settlement, compromise, arbitration and/or

other resolution of any claim for indemnification by any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article IX, including compliance with any Order in connection with any such claim, or any other claim, arbitration, dispute, action, suite or other proceeding in connection with the Stockholder Representative Agreements, (v) dispute any decision of Acquiror to pay itself or any Indemnitee hereunder, (vi) assert, bring, prosecute, maintain, settle, compromise, arbitrate and/or otherwise resolve on behalf of the Target Stockholders any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX or any other claim, arbitration, dispute, action, suit, or other proceeding in connection with the Stockholder Representative Agreements, (vii) to take all actions (or determine to take no such action) on behalf of the Target Stockholders or itself as the Stockholder Representative may deem necessary or appropriate in its sole judgment for the accomplishment of the foregoing and (viii) engage and hire other parties (e.g. attorneys, accountants) in connection with the foregoing. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to consent to any payment from the Escrow Amount.

(c) Any claim, arbitration, action, suit, or other proceeding, whether in law or equity, to enforce any right, benefit or remedy granted to the Target Stockholders under this Agreement shall be asserted, brought, prosecuted or maintained only by the Stockholder Representative, except with respect to Particular Claims in connection with which the affected Target Stockholders may act independently of the Stockholder Representative. Except with respect to Particular Claims, all actions, decisions and instructions of the Stockholder Representative may be relied upon by Acquiror, and shall be binding and conclusive upon each Target Stockholder.

(d) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Target Stockholders for any Losses incurred by reason of any act or failure to act by such Stockholder Representative except to the extent that such Losses shall have been the result of the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Stockholder Representative as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Stockholder Representative shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Target Stockholders from all Losses arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, except for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Stockholder Representative as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If at any time the Stockholder Representative and any other Person shall have any unsatisfied claims against the Target Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the claims of the Stockholder Representative shall be satisfied first including out of funds comprising the Escrow Amount, subject to the limits set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to make demands of the Target Stockholders directly, pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions of the Net Merger Consideration, for such indemnification and for payment of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in the discharge of the Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder, which demand shall be promptly honored by the Target Stockholders. Without in any way limiting the rights of the Stockholder Representative as against the Target Stockholders, neither Target nor Acquiror shall have any liability or obligation whatsoever to the Stockholder Representative arising out of or relating to any breach or alleged breach by the Target Stockholders of their indemnification obligations to the Stockholder Representative as contemplated hereby.

(e) The Stockholder Representative and its representatives and agents shall have reasonable access to information about the Target, Merger Sub and Acquiror and the reasonable assistance of the Target’s, Merger Sub’s and Acquiror’s officers and employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder, including in the case of the Working Capital Adjustments, access to Acquiror’s books and records the Stockholder Representative and/or its representatives and agents may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about the Target, Merger Sub or Acquiror to anyone other than its representatives and agents (except on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially).

(f) The Target Stockholders may, at any time, remove the Stockholder Representative and appoint a substitute representative by written consent signed by the former Target Stockholders (or, if applicable, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns) receiving at least 67% in value of the Net Merger Consideration at Closing (valuing the Notes at their principal value), including the amounts held in Escrow. If the Stockholder Representative dissolves or if an individual dies, becomes unable to perform his responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Target Stockholders shall, by such written consent, appoint a substitute representative to fill such vacancy. Any such substitute representative shall be deemed to be the Stockholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon the selection of such substitute representative, the substituted representative shall promptly notify Acquiror in writing of its, his or her appointment, which written notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the written consent effectuating such appointment.

(g) The provisions of this Section 9.10 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Target Stockholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of each Target Stockholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Target Stockholder or the Target Stockholders shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Target Stockholders hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution, assignment or otherwise.

9.11 Approval and Appointment by Target Stockholders; Acceptance by Stockholder Representative. The approval of this Agreement by the Target Stockholders shall constitute approval of the indemnification obligations in this Article IX, the Escrow Agreement and the appointment of the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent. By executing this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative hereby accepts the appointment and authorization to act as the Stockholder Representative and as attorney-in-fact and agent in accordance with the terms hereof.

9.12 Merger Consideration Adjustment. The parties hereto agree that any amounts paid to an Indemnitee hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the aggregate Net Merger Consideration paid by Indemnitor pursuant to this Agreement for all tax and other purposes.

10.2 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, Article, Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section, Article, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “the date of this Agreement”, “the date hereof”, and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement, the words “aware,” “knowledge” or similar words, expressions or phrases (i) with respect to Target means the actual knowledge of the following officers of Target, after reasonable inquiry of those employees of Target whom such officers reasonably believe would have actual knowledge of such fact or matter: Stephane Godevais, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxx, but shall not include any imputed knowledge or “inquiry notice,” and (ii) with respect to Acquiror, knowledge that any of Acquiror’s executive officers actually possesses or, after reasonable inquiry of those employees of Acquiror whom such officers reasonably believe would have actual knowledge of such fact or matter, but shall not include any imputed knowledge or “inquiry notice.” The term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or holiday for Acquiror’s or Target’s employees generally. In this Agreement, any reference to any event, change, condition or effect being “material” with respect to Target means any event, change, condition or effect that is material to the financial condition, properties, assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, business, operations, results of operations or employee base of Target, taken as a whole.

10.3 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic delivery shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart signature page.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Nonassignability. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including the Escrow Agreement, the Exhibits and the Target Disclosure Schedule constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no party shall be deemed to have made any representations or warranties to the other party, except as expressly set forth in Article III or IV above. This Agreement shall not be assigned, transferred or encumbered by operation of law or otherwise without the other party’s written consent, provided that Acquiror may assign its rights hereunder to an affiliate or Subsidiary. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.4 shall be void. Subject to the foregoing provisions, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.5 Amendment; Waiver. Prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be amended and any provision hereof may be waived at any time, in each case, by execution of an instrument in writing signed by Acquiror and Target, provided that any amendment affecting the Stockholder Representative shall require the consent of the Stockholder Representative; and following the Closing, this Agreement may be amended and any provision hereof may be waived at any time, in each case, by execution of an instrument in writing signed by the Stockholder Representative and Acquiror; provided, however, no amendment or modification which disproportionately affects a Target Stockholder (relative to the Target Stockholders generally) shall be effective against such Target Stockholder without his, her or its consent; and provided, further, that following Stockholder Approval, no amendment shall be made that by Law requires further approval by the stockholders without such approval.

10.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.7 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, including the limitations expressly imposed by Article IX, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

10.8 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to applicable principles of conflicts of law. EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF XXXXXX AND THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES LOCATED IN THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. Each party agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim it may now or hereafter have that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the action, suit, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit, or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. Each party further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any such action, suit, or proceeding and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available. Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be effective against any party if given personally or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or by personal service on such party. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction.

10.9 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an

agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP solely acted as special counsel to the Company, and not any of its stockholders, employees, officers or directors.

10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AGREEMENT, CONTRACT OR OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

10.11 Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

10.12 Conflicts. The parties acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the fact that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP acted as special counsel to Target (which effective as of the Closing shall be wholly owned by Acquiror in the form of the Surviving Corporation) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP shall, if so requested, be permitted to represent the Stockholder Representative and/or any former holders of Target Capital Stock, including the holders of the Notes, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, affiliates, successors and assigns, in connection with any and all matters, negotiations and/or disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents, and accordingly waive any and all conflicts of interest that may arise, be deemed to arise, or be alleged in connection with the foregoing. It is understood that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP solely represented the Company with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and not any other person, including any of the Company’s employees, officers, directors, stockholders, partners or the like.
