B. The Board of Directors of the Company has (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in
the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders, (ii) unanimously approved and adopted this
Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii)

Company voting together as a class have approved this Agreement and the Merger;
D. The Boards of Directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub have (i) determined that the

and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the
Shareholders’ Representative hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms of this Agreement and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the CGCL, at the Effective Time (as defined in
Section 1.2), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Reverse Merger”).
As a result of the Reverse Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and
the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Reverse Merger (the “Surviving
Corporation”). As soon as reasonably practicable following the consummation
of the Reverse Merger, but in any event within sixty (60) days thereafter, the Company shall be
merged (the “Second-Step Merger”) with and into Parent or a wholly-owned, first-tier
subsidiary of Parent that is not, for federal income tax purposes, recognized as an entity separate
from Parent. Following the Second-Step Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company
shall cease and Parent or its wholly-owned subsidiary, as the case may be, shall continue as the
surviving entity in such merger. The Reverse Merger is referred to herein as the “Merger.”
1.2 Effective Time; Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (other than the Second-Step Merger) shall take place at a closing (the
“Closing”) to be held on the second business day following satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in Article VII hereof (the “Closing Date”) at such place and time as
the parties may agree. The parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by (i) filing
an Agreement of Merger (the “Agreement of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State
of California in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant
provisions of the CGCL and (ii) making all other filings and recordings required under the CGCL.
The term “Effective Time” means the date and time of the filing of the Agreement of Merger
(or such later time as may be agreed by each of the parties hereto and specified in the Agreement
of Merger).
1.3 Effect of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the
effects as set forth in the applicable provisions of the CGCL. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges,
powers and franchises of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving
Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each
of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions,
disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
1.4 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
(a) At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as the Surviving
Corporation shall be amended and restated to read the same as the Articles of Incorporation of
Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that Section 1 of the
Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, instead of reading the same as Section 1 of
the Articles of
Incorporation of Merger Sub, shall read as follows: “The name of this corporation is
TradePoint Solutions, Inc.”
(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Company as the Surviving Corporation shall be
amended and restated to read the same as the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect
2
immediately prior to
the Effective Time, except that all references to Merger Sub in the Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation shall be changed to refer to TradePoint Solutions, Inc.
1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in
accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the
officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the
Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed
and qualified.
1.6 Tax-free Reorganization. For federal income tax purposes, the parties intend that
the Reverse Merger with the Second-Step Merger constitute an integrated transaction that
collectively or seriatim qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and will use commercially reasonable
efforts to have it so qualify; provided, however, that none of the parties makes any representation
or warranty that the Merger will so qualify.

will also be unvested and/or subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other

2.2 Exchange of Cash and Certificates.
(a) Exchange Procedures. From and after the Effective Time, a third party designated
by Parent will act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in effecting the exchange of
the applicable Cash Consideration, Parent Shares and Promissory Note Amount for certificates which
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock
(“Company Share Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive the
applicable Cash Consideration, Parent Shares and Promissory Note Amount pursuant to Section 2.1.
As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall mail to
each record holder of Company Share Certificates a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of
Transmittal”) in a form approved by Parent and the Company and instructions for use in
surrendering such Company Share Certificates and receiving the applicable Cash Consideration,
Parent Shares and Promissory Note Amount pursuant to Section 2.1. Promptly after the Effective
Time, but in no event later than ten (10) business days following the Effective Time, Parent shall
cause to be deposited in trust with the Exchange Agent the Cash Consideration and Parent Shares,
and shall cause the Promissory Note to be delivered to the Shareholders’ Representative, with a
copy to the Exchange Agent.
Upon the surrender of each Company Share Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent,
together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably
be required by Parent:
(i) Parent shall cause to be issued to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in
exchange therefor (x) the portion of the Cash Consideration to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2.1, and (y) a separate stock certificate representing the Parent Shares to
which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1; and
(ii) the Company Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article II, each Company Share Certificate shall,
subject to appraisal rights under the CGCL and Section 2.6, be deemed at any time after the
Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the applicable Cash
Consideration,
Promissory Note Amount, and Parent Shares with respect to the shares of Company Stock formerly
represented thereby to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1.
(b) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Parent Shares. No dividends or other
distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Shares comprising
part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration and with a record date after the Effective Time shall be
paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Share Certificate with respect to the Parent Shares
represented thereby until the holder of such Company Share Certificate shall surrender such Company
Share Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.2.
7
(c) No Further Rights in Company Stock. The Aggregate Merger Consideration issuable
upon the conversion of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed
to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock.
(d) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and
subject to the provisions of the CGCL, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued
upon the conversion and exchange of Company Share Certificates, and no holder of Company Share
Certificates shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock. In the event
that any holder of Company Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of
Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Parent Common Stock
issuable to such holder), then such holder will receive an aggregate number of shares of Parent
Common Stock rounded up or down to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 being rounded up).
(e) No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any
holder of shares of Company Stock for any such shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or
distributions with respect thereto) or cash properly and legally delivered to a public official
pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law (as defined in Section 3.6(a)).
(f) Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and
Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant
to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Stock 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 state,
local or foreign Tax (as defined in Section 3.15(c)) Law. To the extent that amounts are so
withheld by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such
withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the
holder of the shares of Company Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made
by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.
(g) Lost Certificates. If any Company Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen
or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company
Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation,
the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may
direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company
Share Certificate, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Share
Certificate, the applicable Cash Consideration, Promissory Note Amount and Parent Shares (and
dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) to which such person is entitled
pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.
(h) Return of Parent Shares. Promptly following the end of the third full calendar
month after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall return to Parent all of the remaining Cash
Consideration and Parent Shares in the Exchange Agent’s possession. Thereafter, upon the
surrender of a Company Share Certificate to Parent, together with a properly executed Letter
of Transmittal and forms of stock power and such other documents as may reasonably be required by
Parent, and subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws, the holder of such
Company Share Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Cash
Consideration, Promissory Note Amount and Parent Shares (and dividends or other distributions
pursuant to Section 2.2(c)) without any interest thereon.
2.3 Stock Transfer Books. Commencing on the date hereof, the stock transfer books of
the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of
Company Stock thereafter on the records of the Company other than as required to comply with the
terms
8
of this Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Company Share
Certificate shall cease to have any rights as a shareholder of the Company, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement or by Law.
2.4 Company Stock Options; Company Warrants.
(a) At the Effective Time, all options to purchase Company Common Stock issued by the Company
pursuant to the Stock Plan, as defined in Section 3.4(b) (each a “Company Option”), shall
terminate. A reasonable period prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to each
holder of a Company Option a written notice advising him or her of the opportunity to exercise such
Company Option prior to the Effective Time and, if applicable, the acceleration of such Company
Option. In the case of a Company Option that becomes exercisable only as of the Effective Time
pursuant to this Subsection (a), any exercise of such Company Option shall be contingent on the
consummation of the Merger. Shares of Company Common Stock acquired by exercising Company Options
(including contingent exercises) shall be subject to Section 2.1(a)(i). The Company’s repurchase
right with respect to any unvested shares acquired by the exercise of Company Options prior to the
Effective Time shall be assigned to Parent by virtue of the Merger and without any further action
on the part of the Company or the holder of such unvested shares.
(b) Parent shall not assume any warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Company Stock.
Prior to the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase Company Stock (a “Company Warrant”),
and any agreement evidencing such warrant, that has not otherwise been exercised or converted shall
have been terminated and of no further force and effect.
2.5 Securities Laws Issues. Parent intends to issue the shares of Parent Common Stock
as provided in this Agreement pursuant to a “private placement” exemption or exemptions from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and an exemption from
qualification under the laws of the State of California and other applicable state securities laws.
Parent and the Company shall comply with all applicable provisions of and rules under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws in connection with the offering and issuance of
the shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement. Such shares of Parent Common Stock
will be “restricted securities” under the Federal and state securities laws and cannot be offered
or resold except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from
registration.
2.6 Dissenting Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock
that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by shareholders who
have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company Stock in accordance with
the CGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent
the right to receive the applicable Cash Consideration, Promissory Note Amount, and Parent Shares.
Such shareholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of
Company Stock held by them in accordance with the CGCL, unless and until such shareholders fail to
perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the CGCL. All
Dissenting Shares held by shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall
have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Stock under the CGCL
shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of
the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Cash Consideration, Promissory Note Amount
and Parent Shares, without any interest thereon, upon the surrender in the manner provided in
Section 2.2 of the corresponding Company Share Certificate.
9
(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by
the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the
CGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the CGCL. The Company shall not, except
with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for
appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that the statements
contained in this Article III are true and correct except as set forth in the disclosure schedule
delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub concurrently with the execution of this Agreement
(the “Company Disclosure Schedule”). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged
according to specific sections in this Article III and shall provide exceptions to, or otherwise
qualify in reasonable detail, only the corresponding section in this Article III and any other
section hereof where it is clear, upon a reading of such disclosure without any independent
knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed, that the disclosure is intended
to apply to such other section.
3.1 Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and otherwise hold and operate its properties
and other assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and as currently
proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing
or to have such corporate power and authority has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The
Company is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good
standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by
it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the
failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing has not had, and could not reasonably
be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Section 3.1 of the
Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth each jurisdiction where the Company is qualified or licensed
as a foreign corporation and each other jurisdiction in which the Company owns, uses, licenses or
leases real property or has employees or engages independent contractors. The term “Company
Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect
(regardless of whether or not such events, changes, violations, inaccuracies, circumstances or
effects are inconsistent with the representations or warranties made by the Company in this
Agreement) that is, or could reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate,
materially adverse to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), assets
(tangible or intangible), liabilities, properties, capitalization or results of operations of the
Company, except for any such events, changes, violations, inaccuracies, circumstances or effects
resulting from or arising in connection with (i) any changes in general economic or business
conditions that do not disproportionately impact the Company or (ii) any changes or events
affecting the industry in which the Company operates that do not disproportionately impact the
Company (it being understood that in any controversy concerning the applicability of the preceding
exceptions, the Company shall have the burden of proof with respect to the elements of such
exceptions).
3.2 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company has heretofore made available
to Parent a complete and correct copy of (a) the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the
Company including all amendments thereto, (b) the minute books containing all consents, actions and
meeting of the shareholders of the Company and the Company’s Board of Directors and any committees
10
thereof, and (c) the stock transfer books of the Company setting forth all issuances or transfers
of any capital stock of the Company. Such Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are in full force
and effect. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws. The corporate minute books, stock certificate books, stock registers and
other corporate records of the Company are complete and accurate in all material respects, and the
signatures appearing on all documents contained therein are the true or facsimile signatures of the
persons purported to have signed the same.
3.3 No Subsidiaries. The Company does not own, of record or beneficially, or control
any direct or indirect equity or other interest, or any right (contingent or otherwise) to acquire
the same, in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association or
other entity. The Company is not a member of (nor is any part of the Company’s business conducted
through) any partnership, nor is the Company a participant in any joint venture or similar
arrangement. There are no contractual obligations of the Company to provide funds to, or make any
investment in (whether in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise), any other person.
3.4 Capitalization.
(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of Company
Common Stock, 17,500,000 shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock and 11,111,111 shares of
Company Series A1 Preferred Stock. As of the date hereof, (i) 9,013,352 shares of Company Common
Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and (ii) 4,259,500 shares of Company Common Stock are reserved for future issuance
pursuant to outstanding Company Options. As of the date of this Agreement, (A) 17,335,000 shares
of Company Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, and (B) 11,036,088 shares of
Company Series A1 Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Each share of Company
Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Company Common Stock. There are no other shares
of Company Preferred Stock outstanding. As of the date hereof, the outstanding shares of Company
Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock and Company Series A1 Preferred Stock are owned as
set forth in Section 3.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Section 3.4(a) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule also provides an accurate and complete description of the terms of each
repurchase option or right of first refusal which is held by the Company and to which any of such
shares are subject.
(b) The Company has reserved 2,380,000 shares of Company Common Stock for issuance under the
Company’s 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and 2,500,000 shares of Company Common Stock for issuance
under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Stock Plan”) of which
options to purchase 1,772,500 and 2,487,000 shares of Company Common Stock, respectively, are
outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. Section 3.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule
accurately sets forth with respect to each Company Option that is outstanding as of the date of
this Agreement: (i) the name of the holder of such Company Option; (ii) the total number of shares
of Company Common Stock that was originally subject to such Company Option; (iii) the number of
shares of Company Common Stock that remain subject to such Company Option, (iv) the date on which
such Company Option was granted and the term of such Company Option; (v) the vesting schedule and
vesting commencement date for such Company Option; (vi) the exercise price per share of Company
Common Stock purchasable under such Company Option; (vii) whether such Company Option has been
designated an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code; (viii) the current
employee or independent contractor status of the holder of such Company Option; and (ix) the
current State of residence of the holder of such Company Option. No Company Option will by its
terms require an adjustment in connection with the Merger, except as contemplated by this
Agreement. Neither the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor any action
taken or to be taken by
11
Company in connection with such transactions, will result in (i) any
acceleration of exercisability or vesting, whether or not contingent on the occurrence of any event
after consummation of the Merger, in favor of any optionee under any Company Option; (ii) any
additional benefits for any optionee under any Company Option, except as contemplated by this
Agreement; or (iii) the inability of Parent after the Effective Time to exercise any right or
benefit held by Company prior to the Effective Time with respect to any shares of Company Common
Stock previously issued upon exercise of a Company Option, including, without limitation, the right
to repurchase an optionee’s unvested shares on termination of such optionee’s employment. The
termination of all Company Options in accordance with Section 2.4(a) hereunder will not give rise
to any event described in clauses (i) through (iii) in the immediately preceding sentence or
constitute a breach of the Stock Plan or any agreement entered into pursuant to such plan.
(c) The Company previously reserved 3,557,316 shares of Company Common Stock for issuance
pursuant to the exercise or conversion of warrants to purchase Company Common Stock, 165,000 shares

Stock for issuance pursuant to the exercise or conversion of warrants to purchase Company Series A1
Preferred Stock. As of the Closing, all Company Warrants will have been exercised or converted
pursuant to their terms or terminated. Section 3.4(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets
forth, with respect to each Company Warrant issued to any person by the Company since the Company’s
date of incorporation: (i) the name of the holder of such Company Warrant; (ii) the total number
and type of shares of Company Stock that are subject to such Company Warrant; (iii) the exercise
price per share of Company Stock purchasable under such Company Warrant; (iv) the total number of
shares of Company Stock with respect to which such warrant is immediately exercisable; (v) the
vesting schedule for such Company Warrant; and (vi) the disposition (i.e., exercised or converted
or terminated) of such Company Warrant.
(d) Except as described in Section 3.4(b) above or as set forth in Sections 3.4(b), 3.4(c) and
3.4(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no options, warrants or other rights,
agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character, whether or not contingent, relating to
the issued or unissued capital stock of the Company or obligating the Company to issue or sell any
share of capital stock of, or other equity interest in, the Company. All shares of Company Stock
so subject to issuance, upon issuance in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the
instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable. The holders of Company Options and Company Warrants have been or will be
given, or shall have properly waived, any required notice of the Merger or the termination of such
Company Warrants or Company Options prior to Effective Time, and all such rights, if any, will
terminate at or prior to the Effective Time.
(e) Except as described in Section 3.4(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company does
not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have
the right to vote (or which are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to
vote) with the shareholders of the Company on any matter.
(f) All of the securities offered, sold or issued by the Company (i) have been offered, sold
or issued in compliance with the requirements of the Federal securities laws and any applicable
state securities or “blue sky” laws, and (ii) are not subject to any preemptive right, right of
first refusal (other than the Company’s right of first refusal), right of first offer or right of
rescission.
(g) Except as set forth in Section 3.4(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company has
never repurchased, redeemed or otherwise reacquired any shares of capital
12
stock or other securities
of the Company, other than unvested securities in the ordinary course upon termination of
employment or consultancy. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company to
repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any share of capital stock of, or other equity interest in,
the Company. There are no shareholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or
understandings to which the Company is a party, or of which the Company is aware, that (i) relate
to the voting, registration or disposition of any securities of the Company, (ii) grant to any
person or group of persons the right to elect, or designate or nominate for election, a director to
the Board of Directors of the Company, or (iii) grant to any person or group of persons information
rights.
(h) An updated Section 3.4 of the Company Disclosure Schedule reflecting changes permitted by
this Agreement in the capitalization of the Company between the date hereof and the Effective Time
shall be delivered by the Company to Parent on the Closing Date.

transactions contemplated hereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its
shareholders, (ii) approved and adopted the Merger, this Agreement and the other transactions
contemplated hereby in accordance with the provisions of the CGCL and the Company’s charter

Shareholders for their approval and adoption and (iv) resolved to recommend that the Company
Shareholders vote in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement.

consent, approval or notice under, give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation of, require any payment under, or result in the creation of a lien or other
encumbrance on any property or asset of the Company pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation
to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound.

governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, agency or commission, any court, tribunal or
arbitral body, or any quasi-governmental or private body exercising any regulatory, taxing,
importing or other governmental authority (a “Governmental Entity”), except for such
consents, approvals, orders, permits, authorizations, registrations, filings or notifications,
which if not obtained or made could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate,
to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.7 Permits; Compliance.
(a) The Company is in possession of all material franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses,
permits, easements, variances, exceptions, consents, certificates, approvals and
orders of any Governmental Entity necessary for the Company to own, lease and otherwise hold
and operate its properties and other assets and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted (the “Company Permits”). All Company
Permits are in full force and effect and will remain so after the Closing and no suspension or
cancellation of any Company Permit is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened. The
Company has received no notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity regarding (i)
any actual or possible violation of or failure to comply with any term or requirement of any

Governmental Entity (a “Company Legal Proceeding”). To the Company’s knowledge, no event
has occurred, and no claim, dispute or other condition or circumstance exists, that could
reasonably be expected to give rise to or serve as a basis of the commencement of any Company Legal
Proceeding. None of the Company, the officers or directors thereof (in their capacity as such), or
any material property or asset of the Company is subject to any continuing order of, consent
decree, settlement agreement or other similar written agreement with, or, to the knowledge of the
Company, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Entity, or any order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Entity. The
Company has no plans to initiate any Company Legal Proceeding against any third party.

within the meaning of such term under Section 280G of the Code. Except for benefits paid as a
result of the termination of the Company’s 401(k) Plan as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, neither

life insurance benefits to any person for any reason, except as may be required by the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), or other applicable
statute, and the Company has never represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written

Affiliate”) is subject to any penalty or Tax with respect to any Company Plan under Section
502(i) of ERISA or Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code. Each Company Plan can be amended,
terminated or otherwise discontinued at any time without material liability to Parent, the Company

Act of 1996, the requirements of the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, the requirements

any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination as to the qualified status of each
such Company Plan.

participating in, any transaction which was or is a “Tax shelter” transaction as defined in Section
6662, 6011, 6111 or 6112 of the Code, the Regulations or other published guidance from the Internal
Revenue Service.
(d) As used in this Section 4.12, the term “Parent” means Parent and any entity included in,
or required under U.S. GAAP to be included in, any of the Parent Audited Financial Statements or
the Parent Interim Financial Information.
4.13 Compliance. Parent has complied and is in compliance with all governmental laws,
regulations and orders regarding environmental, employee benefit and labor matters applicable to
its business, properties and personnel with which a failure to comply would be reasonably likely to
have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Parent has not received notice from any applicable
governmental authority of any alleged violation of any such laws, regulations or orders, and knows
of no basis existing which is likely to result in a violation thereof that would have a Parent
Material Adverse Effect. To its knowledge, Parent is not in breach of any promise, commitment or
agreement the breach of which would be reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

employees of the Company shall continue in their existing benefit plans until such time as, in
Parent’s sole discretion, an orderly transition can be accomplished to employee benefit plans and
programs maintained by Parent for its and its affiliates’ employees in the United States. Parent
shall take such reasonable actions, to the extent permitted by Parent’s benefits programs, as are
necessary to allow eligible employees of the Company to participate in the health, welfare and
other benefits programs of Parent or alternative benefits programs in the aggregate that are
substantially equivalent to those applicable to employees of Parent in similar functions and
positions on similar terms (it being understood that equity incentive plans are not considered
employee benefits). Pending such action, Parent shall maintain the effectiveness of the Company’s
benefit plans.
38
(b) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall tender
employment offer letters (collectively, the “Offer Letters,” and, individually, an
“Offer Letter”) to the individuals set forth on Schedule III hereto.
(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary actions to obtain the
requisite shareholder approval under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code of any payments or benefits to
the extent that they are “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code
and shall require all “disqualified individuals” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code to
subject such excess parachute payments to the shareholder approval requirements of Section
280G(b)(5) of the Code, as contemplated in the Proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder. The Company further agrees that whether or not its shareholders approve any such
excess parachute payments, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall have any
responsibility or liability with respect to any excise taxes owed by the recipients of any such
payments.
(d) By giving the Company written notice not less than three business days prior to the
Closing Date, Parent may request that the Company take all necessary corporate action to terminate
its 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”) effective as of the date immediately prior to the
Closing Date, but contingent on the Closing. If Parent provides such notice to the Company, Parent

subject to review and approval of Parent), effective as of the date immediately preceding the
Closing Date.

all group severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements immediately

other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) obtain from any Governmental Entity or any
other person all consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required

authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) make all necessary filings, and
thereafter make any other required submission, with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement required under applicable Law. The parties
hereto shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings, including
by providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing party and its advisors prior to filing
and, if requested, by accepting all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in
connection therewith.
6.3 No Public Announcement. The Company shall not issue any press release or
otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other
transactions contemplated by this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld to the extent any blackout notice is required under the 401(k) Plan.
39

the information described above as of the Effective Time and reflecting exercises (including
contingent exercises) of Company Options and Company Warrants between the date of execution of this
Agreement and the Closing.

knowingly take any position in its tax filings inconsistent with the treatment of this transaction
as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
6.7 Shareholder Solicitation. Parent and Company will cooperate in preparing and
distributing to Company shareholders as soon as practicable after execution of this Agreement an
information statement to solicit the approval of the shareholders of Company to the Merger, this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder (the “Information Statement”). The
Company shall ensure that such approval is solicited and obtained in compliance with applicable
Law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and all other applicable legal
requirements. Each party covenants that the information it includes in the Information Statement
or otherwise provides to the shareholders of Company in connection with the solicitation of their
consent to the Merger will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Information

of the Merger and this Agreement. No amendment or supplement to the Information Statement will be
made by the Company without the prior approval of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The Company will engage an independent investment advisor to meet with and advise Company
shareholders regarding the Merger and the implications of their receipt of shares of Parent Common
Stock. Parent
agrees that up to $20,000 of expenses for this independent investment advisor may be incurred
by the Company. Any expenses above $20,000 shall be paid by the Company Shareholders.
6.8 Access to Information; Confidentiality. From the date of this Agreement to the
Effective Time, the Company shall: (i) provide to Parent (and its officers, directors, employees,

officers, employees, agents, books, records, properties, offices and other facilities of the
Company, and (ii) furnish promptly such information concerning the business, properties, contracts,
assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of the Company as reasonably requested by Parent
or its Representatives.
40
6.9 No Solicitation by the Company.
(a) The Company will not, directly or indirectly, and will instruct its officers, directors,
employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, advisors, agents and other representatives
(collectively, “Company Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate
or encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action to
facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including, without limitation,
any proposal or offer to its shareholders) that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead
to, any Company Competing Transaction (as defined below), or enter into or maintain or continue
discussions or negotiate with any person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a Company
Competing Transaction, or agree to or endorse any Company Competing Transaction, or authorize or
permit any Company Representatives to take any such action; provided, however, that the foregoing

unsolicited offer received by the Company after the date of this Agreement if the Company’s Board
of Directors determines, upon the written advice of counsel, that such action is necessary for the
fulfillment of its fiduciary duties. The Company will notify Parent immediately after receipt by
the Company (or any Company Representatives) of any proposal for, or inquiry respecting, any
Company Competing Transaction, or any request for nonpublic information in connection with such
proposal or inquiry or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company by any person
that informs or has informed the Company that it is considering making or has made such a proposal
or inquiry. Such notice to Parent shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the person
making such proposal or inquiry and the terms and conditions of such proposal or inquiry. The
Company immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations
with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Company Competing Transaction. The Company
agrees not to release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or

nonappealable which would (i) prevent the consummation of the Merger, (ii) prohibit Parent’s or the
Company’s ownership or operation of any portion of the business of the Company or (iii) compel
Parent or the Company to dispose of or hold separate, as a result of the Merger, any portion of the
business or assets of the Company or Parent;
(d) by Parent upon a breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on
the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the
Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Sections
7.1(a) and 7.1(b) would not be satisfied (“Terminating Company Breach”); provided,
however, that, if such Terminating Company Breach is by its nature curable by the Company
and for so long as the Company continues to exercise best efforts to cure such breach after notice
thereof, Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) unless such breach is
not cured within twenty (20) days after notice thereof is provided by Parent to the Company (but no
cure period is required for a breach which, by its nature, cannot be cured); or
(e) by the Company upon a breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement on the part of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, or if any
representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in either case such
that the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) would not be satisfied
(“Terminating Parent Breach”); provided, however, that, if such Terminating
Parent Breach is by its nature curable by Parent
and Merger Sub and for so long as Parent and Merger Sub continue to exercise best efforts to
cure such breach after notice thereof, the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this
Section 8.1(e) unless such breach is not cured within twenty (20) days after notice thereof is
provided by the Company to Parent (but no cure period is required for a breach which, by its
nature, cannot be cured).
8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, there shall be no liability under this
Agreement on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their respective officers or
directors, and all rights and obligations of each party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that
(i) Section 6.3, Section 6.4, Section 8.2 and Article X shall remain in full force and effect and
survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party from
liability for the willful breach of any of its representations or warranties or the breach of any
of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.
8.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by
or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time. This

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of
the Company and the Company Shareholders contained in this Agreement, the Shareholder Certificates
and any other document or certificate relating hereto (collectively, the “Acquisition
Documents”) shall survive the Effective Time until September 1, 2007; provided,
however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Organization
and Qualification), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.14 (Intellectual Property) and 3.15 (Taxes) shall
survive the Effective Time for a period of 24 months from the Effective Time. The representations
and warranties of Parent contained in the Acquisition Documents shall not survive beyond the
Effective Time; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3
(Capitalization) shall survive until September 1, 2007. Neither the period of survival nor the
liability of the Company and the Company Shareholders (as the case may be) with respect to such
party’s representations and warranties shall be affected by any investigation made at any time
(whether before or after the Effective Time) by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub or by any
actual, implied or constructive knowledge or notice of any
facts or circumstances that such party may have as a result of any investigation or otherwise.
The parties hereto agree that reliance shall not be an element of any claim for misrepresentation
or indemnification under this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any
such representation or warranty, or based on the performance of, or compliance with, any covenant
or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such
representations, warranties, covenants or obligations. If written notice of a claim has been
given, prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, by Parent to the
Shareholders’ Representative, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to
such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.
9.2 Indemnification by the Company Series A Preferred Holders and Parent.
(a) After the Effective Time, Parent and its affiliates (including, after the Effective Time,
the Surviving Corporation), officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns
(collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the holders of Company Series A Preferred Stock (the “Company Series A Preferred Holders”),
jointly and severally, for any and all liabilities, losses, damages of any kind, diminution in
value, claims, costs, expenses, fines, fees, deficiencies, interest, awards, judgments, amounts
paid in settlement and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’,
consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses and other costs of defending, investigating or settling
claims) suffered, incurred, accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) or paid by them (including,
without limitation, in connection with any action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them)
(collectively, “Losses”), without adjustment for any tax deduction relating thereto,
arising out of or resulting from:
(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty (without giving effect to any
qualification as to materiality (or similar qualifications) contained therein) made by the Company
or any Company Shareholder in the Acquisition Documents;
(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Company Shareholder in
the Acquisition Documents;
46
(iii) Losses from breach of contract or other claims made by any party alleging to have had a
contractual or other right to acquire the Company’s capital stock or assets;
(iv) in the event that any Company Shareholder properly exercises appraisal rights under
applicable Law, the amount, if any, by which the fair market value (determined in accordance with
applicable Law) of the Dissenting Shares exceeds the amount such Company Shareholder was otherwise
entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement;
(v) any cost, loss or other expense (including the value of any Tax deduction lost) as a
result of the application of Section 280G of the Code to any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement plus any necessary gross up amount; or
(vi) any Shareholder Expenses payable by the Surviving Corporation following the Closing.
(b) As used herein, “Losses” are not limited to matters asserted by third parties, but include
Losses incurred or sustained by the Parent Indemnified Parties in the absence of claims by third
parties.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect
to (A) claims for equitable remedies and (B) claims based on fraud or willful misrepresentation or
willful misconduct:
(i) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses arising out of or resulting from the
causes enumerated in Section 9.2(a) that may be recovered from the Company Series A Preferred
Holders shall not exceed (x) $3,000,000 in the case of claims for any inaccuracy or breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.4 (Capitalization), or (y) $1,800,000 in the
case of all other causes enumerated in Section 9.2(a) (collectively, the “Indemnification
Cap”) and no such indemnifiable Losses may be recovered from the holders of Company Common
Stock in their capacity as such; and
(ii) no indemnification payment by the Company Series A Preferred Holders with respect to any
indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable under Section 9.2(a) shall be payable until such time as all
such indemnifiable Losses shall aggregate to more than $50,000, after which time the Company Series
A Preferred Holders shall be liable in full for all indemnifiable Losses (including the first
$50,000).
(d) After the Effective Time, the Company Shareholders shall be indemnified for any breach of
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3 (Capitalization), but only to the
extent that such breach results in the Parent Shares representing less than 4.34% (i.e., the
quotient of 2,150,000 divided by 49,531,974) of the Parent Fully Diluted Total. In the case of
such breach, and subject to the provisions of this Article IX, the definition of “Parent Shares”
set forth in Section 2.1(b) above shall be deemed amended, automatically and without the necessity
of any consent or other action of any party hereto (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.14
hereof), such that it means a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to 4.34% of the Parent
Fully Diluted Total, which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Shareholders in
the event of such breach. As a result of such amendment, the Common Exchange Ratio shall be
modified accordingly, and the holders of Company Stock shall be entitled to adjustments to the
number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled as a result of their holdings.
Upon such adjustment, Parent shall issue additional shares of Parent Common Stock to the holders of
Company Stock accordingly.
47
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any misrepresentation by a party shall not
constitute fraud or willful misrepresentation by that party if, after reviewing its relevant
records and inquiring of its relevant personnel, exercising reasonable diligence, that party did
not have actual knowledge that the representation was false.
9.3 Recoveries. The amount of indemnifiable Losses required to be paid under this
Article IX shall be reduced by (or if already paid, shall be promptly repaid in the amount of) any
recoveries actually received by a Parent Indemnified Party under insurance policies or other form
of payment received from a third party. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall take all actions
reasonably necessary to mitigate any indemnifiable Losses in connection with an indemnity claim
made pursuant to this Article IX. Except for such remedies as are explicitly provided for
elsewhere in this Agreement, after the Effective Time, in the absence of fraud, intentional
misrepresentation or willful misconduct, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Parent Indemnified
Party or Company Shareholder with respect to any claim arising out of this Agreement (whether based
on contract, tort or any other theory, at law or in equity) or breach of any representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate, instrument or other document
entered into in connection herewith, shall be restricted to the indemnification rights set forth
herein.
9.4 Indemnification Procedures – Third Party Claims.
(a) For purposes of this Section 9.4, a party against which indemnification may be sought is
referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” and the party that may be entitled to
indemnification is referred to as the “Indemnified Party.”
(b) The obligations and liabilities of Indemnifying Parties under this Article IX with respect
to Losses arising from actual or threatened claims or demands by any third party which are subject
to the indemnification provided for in this Article IX (“Third Party Claims”) shall be
governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified
Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the
Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within 90 days of the receipt by the
Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide
such notice shall not release an Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article
IX except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The
notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Indemnified Party giving
rise to such Indemnification Claim (as defined below), and the amount or good faith estimate of the
amount arising therefrom.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the
Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then
the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party
Claim through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified
Party) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 20 days of the
receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim if (i)
any such claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary losses, any injunctive or other
equitable relief, (ii) there is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make
it inappropriate (in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion) for the
same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or (iii)
settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim may establish (in the
good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party) a precedential custom or practice adverse to the
business interests of the Indemnified Party or would increase the Tax liability of the Indemnified
Party; provided further, that if by reason of the Third Party Claim a Lien,
attachment, garnishment, execution or other encumbrance is placed upon any of the property or
assets of such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
48
Party, if it desires to exercise its right to
assume such defense of the Third Party Claim, must agree to use a portion of the Indemnification
Cap to furnish a satisfactory indemnity bond to obtain the prompt release of such Lien, attachment,
garnishment, execution or other encumbrance. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a
Third Party Claim, it will conduct the defense actively, diligently and at its own expense, and it
will hold all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Losses caused by or arising out of
any settlement thereof. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such
defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all
witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or
under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the
Indemnifying Party. Except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be
unreasonably withheld), the Indemnifying Party will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim,
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnified Party by the third party of a release from
all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no
finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate
thereof), (B) any liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof) or (C)
any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims of a similar
nature that may be made by the same third party against the Indemnified Party (or any
affiliate thereof); or (iii) which exceeds the Promissory Note Amount.
(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of an
Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party had the right to
assume pursuant to Section 9.4(c), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party, to defend or prosecute such claim in any manner as it may reasonably deem
appropriate and may settle such claim after giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying
Party, on such terms as such Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Promissory Note Amount
shall be automatically reduced by (or if the Promissory Note or any replacement thereof is no
longer outstanding, the Company Series A Preferred Holders shall be obligated to pay) the amount of
any Losses incurred in connection with such settlement. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim
is made, the Promissory Note Amount shall be automatically reduced by (or if the Promissory Note or
any replacement thereof is no longer outstanding, the Company Series A Preferred Holders shall be
obligated to pay) the amount of any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to
such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder
shall be promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP). If the
Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim which it has the
right to assume hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do so.
(e) In the event that the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the
Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.4(c), the Indemnified Party
shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or prosecute such claim
and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third
Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate after giving written notice thereof to
the Indemnifying Party, and the Promissory Note Amount shall be automatically reduced by (or if the
Promissory Note or any replacement thereof is no longer outstanding, the Company Series A Preferred
Holders shall be obligated to pay) the amount of any Losses incurred in connection with such
judgment or settlement. In such case, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of the Third
Party Claim actively and diligently, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the
Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying
Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s
possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by
the Indemnified Party. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Promissory Note
Amount shall be automatically reduced by (or if the Promissory Note or any replacement thereof is
no longer outstanding, the Company
49
Series A Preferred Holders shall be obligated to pay) the amount
of any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for
which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as
suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP).
9.5 Indemnification Procedures – Generally.
(a) If, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date that is 24 months from the
Effective Time (the “Expiration Date”), a Parent Indemnified Party shall have suffered,
incurred, accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) or paid a Loss for which it is entitled to
indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder (an “Indemnification Claim”), such
Parent Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative, not more than 30 days
after the Expiration Date, a certificate executed by a Parent Indemnified Party or an authorized
officer of a Parent Indemnified Party (an “Indemnification Certificate”), which
Indemnification Certificate shall:
(i) state that such Parent Indemnified Party has an Indemnification Claim;
(ii) state the aggregate amount of such Indemnification Claim (the “Indemnification
Amount”); and
(iii) specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of each individual Indemnification
Claim.
(b) If the Shareholders’ Representative shall object to any amount claimed in connection with
any Indemnification Claim specified in any Indemnification Certificate, the Shareholders’
Representative shall, within fifteen business days after receipt of such Indemnification
Certificate (the “Response Period”), deliver to Parent a certificate, executed by the
Shareholders’ Representative (a “Shareholders’ Representative Certificate”), which shall
specify in reasonable detail (i) each such amount to which the Shareholders’ Representative objects
and (ii) the nature and basis for each such objection.
(c) If Parent shall not have received a Shareholders’ Representative Certificate objecting to
the amount claimed with respect to an Indemnification Claim prior to the expiration of the
applicable Response Period, the Company Series A Preferred Holders and the Shareholders’
Representative shall be deemed to have agreed to the Indemnification Certificate and to have
acknowledged the correctness of the Indemnification Amount claimed with respect to such
Indemnification Claim, or (ii) if Parent shall have received a Shareholders’ Representative
Certificate pursuant to Section 9.5(d) below prior to the expiration of the Response Period with
respect to an Indemnification Claim as to which any portion of the Indemnification Amount claimed
is not objected to, the Company Series A Preferred Holders and the Shareholders’ Representative
shall be deemed to have agreed to that portion of the Indemnification Certificate and to have
acknowledged the correctness of that portion of the Indemnification Amount claimed as to which no
objection is raised in the Shareholders’ Representative Certificate, and, in either case, the
Principal Note Amount shall be automatically reduced by (or if the Promissory Note or any
replacement thereof is no longer outstanding, the Company Series A Preferred Holders agree to pay)
an amount equal to the Indemnification Amount (or the portion of the Indemnification Amount not
objected to in a Shareholders’ Representative Certificate).
(d) If Parent shall have received within the applicable Response Period a Shareholders’
Representative Certificate contesting the amount claimed with respect to any Indemnification Claim
specified in the Indemnification Certificate (a “Contested Claim”), the amount so
50
contested (the “Contested Amount”) shall not be deducted from the Promissory Note Amount
(or if the Promissory Note or any replacement thereof is no longer outstanding, shall not yet be
due from the Company Series A Preferred Holders), except in accordance with any of the following:
(i) a written agreement executed by each of an authorized officer of the Parent Indemnified
Party and the Shareholders’ Representative; or
(ii) if the Contested Claim concerns amounts that are subject to third party claims brought
against the Parent Indemnified Parties in a litigation or arbitration, the determination of the
validity of such claims and amounts in a final, non-appealable decision, award or settlement of
such litigation or arbitration; or
(iii) if the Contested Claim concerns amounts that are not subject to third party claims and
if the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent, on behalf of the Parent Indemnified Parties, are
unable to resolve any such Contested Claim within 30 days after delivery of the Shareholders’
Representative Certificate, the settlement of such Contested Claim by a binding arbitration
proceeding which shall take place in San Mateo County, California. All Contested Claims shall be
settled by three arbitrators in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of
the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”). The Shareholders’ Representative
and Parent shall each designate one arbitrator within 15 days after the termination of such 30-day
period. The Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall cause such designated arbitrators
mutually to agree upon and designate a third arbitrator; provided, however, that
(i) failing such agreement within 50 days of delivery of the Shareholders’ Representative
Certificate, the third arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules and (ii) if
either the Shareholders’ Representative or Parent fails to timely designate an arbitrator, the
Contested Claim shall be resolved with the participation of the one arbitrator timely designated.
The Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall cause the arbitrators to decide the Contested
Claim within 20 days after the appointment of the last arbitrator. The arbitrators’ decision shall
relate solely to whether the Contested Amount (or a portion thereof) shall be deducted from the
Promissory Note Amount pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement (or if the Promissory
Note or any replacement thereof is no longer outstanding, whether the Company Series A Preferred
Holders are obligated to pay the Contested Amount (or a portion thereof)). The final decision of
the majority of the arbitrators shall be furnished to the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent
in writing and shall constitute the conclusive determination of the issue in question, be binding
upon the Shareholders’ Representative, the Company Series A Preferred Holders and the Parent
Indemnified Parties, and shall not be contested by any of them. Each of Parent and the Company
Series A Preferred Holders will pay 50% of the compensation to be paid to the arbitrators in any
such arbitration and 50% of the costs of transcripts and other normal and regular expenses of such
arbitration proceeding; provided, however, that the substantially prevailing party
in any arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and costs, and all costs of
arbitration, including those provided for above, which will be paid by the losing party, and the
arbitrators will be authorized to make such determinations.
(e) After (i) the receipt of written instructions pursuant to Section 9.5(d)(i) of this
Agreement, (ii) the final, non-appealable decision, award or settlement of a third-party claim
pursuant to Section 9.5(d)(ii) of this Agreement, or (iii) the final arbitration decision pursuant
to Section 9.5(d)(iii) of this Agreement, the Principal Note Amount shall be automatically reduced
by (or if the Promissory Note or any replacement thereof is no longer outstanding, the Company
Series A Preferred Holders shall be obligated to pay) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the
amount specified in such written instructions, decision, award, settlement or arbitration decision,
as the case may be (or, if not so specified in the written instructions, decision, award,
settlement or arbitration decision, the amount equal to amount set forth in the written
instructions, decision, award, settlement or arbitration decision, as the case may be), and (y) the
balance of the Indemnification Cap not yet recovered by Parent.
51
(f) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(a) of this Agreement, following
the Expiration Date, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to assert claims under this
Section 9.5 with respect to those Losses that were included in determining the Reserved Amount.
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Reserved Amount” shall be equal to the aggregate
dollar value of all amounts claimed and unpaid in all Indemnification Certificates delivered by
Parent prior to the Expiration Date which claims or amounts shall not have been resolved on or
prior to the Expiration Date.
(g) If, on the one year anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Anniversary Date”),
the aggregate dollar value of all amounts claimed and unpaid in all Indemnification Certificates
delivered by Parent prior to the Anniversary Date which claims or amounts shall not have been
resolved on or prior to the Anniversary Date (the “Initial Reserved Amount”) is less than
the Promissory Note Amount, then on the Anniversary Date Parent shall (i) issue a new promissory
note to the Shareholders’ Representative (with a copy to the Exchange Agent), in substantially the
same form as the Promissory
Note, on behalf of the Company Series A Preferred Holders, in the principal amount equal to
the Initial Reserved Amount, which new promissory note shall have a maturity date of the later of
the Expiration Date or the date all amounts claimed and unpaid with respect to all of the
Indemnification Certificates delivered by Parent prior to the Anniversary Date are paid or
otherwise resolved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) upon delivery to Parent by the
Shareholders’ Representative of the original Promissory Note, transfer to the Exchange Agent an
amount equal to the Promissory Note Amount less the Initial Reserved Amount for immediate
distribution to the Company Series A Preferred Holders.
(h) If, on the Anniversary Date, the Initial Reserved Amount is greater than the Promissory
Note Amount, then the maturity date of the Promissory Note shall automatically be extended without
any further action on the part of the Company, the Company Series A Preferred Holders or the
Shareholders’ Representative to the later of the Expiration Date or until all amounts claimed and
unpaid with respect to all of the Indemnification Certificates delivered to Parent prior to the
Anniversary Date are paid or otherwise resolved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior
to the termination of this Agreement, if agreed to in a writing signed by the Shareholders’
Representative, the Promissory Note Amount, as agreed to in such writing, shall be automatically
reduced by the amount agreed to by Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative.
(j) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, the automatic reductions of amounts from the
Promissory Note Amount with respect to Indemnification Claims shall be without prejudice to any
other rights the Parent Indemnified Parties may have under this Agreement to seek indemnity or
other recourse for such Indemnification Claims.
(k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Parent may deliver
notices, sign certificates, authorize actions, settlements or compromises, make or receive payments
and otherwise act on behalf of the Parent Indemnified Parties, and Shareholders’ Representative may
deliver notices, sign certificates, authorize actions, settlements or compromises, make or receive
payments and otherwise act on behalf of the Company Series A Preferred Holders in connection with
any Indemnification Claim hereunder.
(l) Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall
be promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP).
(m) If, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on August 31, 2007, the Company
Shareholders shall have suffered a breach for which they are entitled to indemnification
52
hereunder,
the Shareholders’ Representative shall pursue the Company Shareholders’ sole and exclusive remedy
set forth in Section 9.2(d) above pursuant to the applicable procedures set forth in this Section
9.5, and, where applicable, all references to “Parent” and “Parent Indemnified Party” shall instead
refer to the Shareholders’ Representative, all references to “Company Series A Preferred Holders”
and the “Shareholders’ Representative” shall instead refer to Parent, and all references to
“Expiration Date” shall instead refer to August 31, 2007, and references to deductions of principal
from the Promissory Note Amount and amounts due from Company Series A Preferred Holders shall,
where applicable, instead refer to Parent’s obligation to issue additional shares of Parent Common
Stock.
9.6 Shareholders’ Representative.
(a) Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (such person and any successor or successors being the “Shareholders’
Representative”) shall act as the representative of the Company Series A Preferred Holders, and
shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Company Series A Preferred Holders and to take any and
all actions required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholders’ Representative under this
Agreement with respect to any claims (including the settlement thereof) made by a Parent
Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (including, without limitation,
the exercise of the power to (i) authorize the right of setoff set forth in Section 9.5 in
satisfaction of claims by a Parent Indemnified Party, (ii) agree to, negotiate, enter into
settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to any claims for
indemnification and (iii) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Shareholders’
Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing). In all matters relating to this Article
IX, the Shareholders’ Representative shall be the only party entitled to assert the rights of the
Company Series A Preferred Holders, and the Shareholders’ Representative shall perform all of the
obligations of the Company Series A Preferred Holders hereunder. The Parent Indemnified Parties
shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations and decisions of the Shareholders’
Representative.
(b) The Company Series A Preferred Holders shall be bound by all actions taken by the
Shareholders’ Representative in his, her or its capacity thereof, except for any action that
conflicts with the limitations set forth in subsection (d) below. The Shareholders’ Representative
shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) business days, provide written notice to the
Company Series A Preferred Holders of any action taken on behalf of them by the Shareholders’
Representative pursuant to the authority delegated to the Shareholders’ Representative under this
Section 9.6. The Shareholders’ Representative shall at all times act in his, her or its capacity
as Shareholders’ Representative in a manner that the Shareholders’ Representative believes to be in
the best interest of the Company Series A Preferred Holders. Neither the Shareholders’
Representative nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, if any, shall be liable to
any person for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken under
this Agreement, except in the case of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The
Shareholders’ Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and
other experts selected by it.
(c) Each Company Series A Preferred Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse
the Shareholders’ Representative from and against such Company Series A Preferred Holder’s ratable
share of any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred

EXHIBIT A
Form of Shareholder Certificate
SHAREHOLDER CERTIFICATE
SHAREHOLDER CERTIFICATE, dated as of October 6, 2006 (this “Certificate”), by and
between the holder of shares of capital stock of Tradepoint Software, Inc., a California
corporation (the “Company”), identified on the signature page of this Certificate (the
“Shareholder”) and DemandTec, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Parent”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Parent, TP Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent (“Merger Sub”), the Company and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (as Shareholders’ Representative)
have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of October
6, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”) that provides, among other things, that Merger Sub will
merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement (capitalized terms not defined in this Certificate shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement);
WHEREAS, the Shareholder owns the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (the
“Company Common Stock”), the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company
(the “Company Series A Preferred Stock”) and/or the number of shares of Series A1 Preferred
Stock of the Company (together with Company Common Stock and the Company Series A Preferred Stock,
the “Company Stock”), and the number of shares of Company Stock issuable upon exercise of
options and warrants to purchase Company Stock, set forth on the signature page hereto and desires
to surrender certificates evidencing such shares of Company Stock to Parent in order to receive
certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) to
which the Shareholder is entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement upon the consummation of the
Merger;
WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, Parent will issue to the Company’s shareholders shares
of Parent Common Stock in a private placement effected in reliance on the exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and in
reliance on exemptions from the qualification requirements of applicable state securities laws; and
WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement requires the Shareholder to provide this Certificate to Parent
in connection with the Merger in order to receive shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with
the Merger.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective agreements set forth
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby with the intention that Parent and its
advisors rely upon the representations and covenants contained herein, the Shareholder hereby
certifies and represents to Parent and agrees as follows:
1. Restrictions on Resale of Parent Common Stock.
1.1 Issuance Not Registered. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that the
issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement will not be
registered under the Securities Act and that the shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued to
the Shareholder in a private placement transaction effected in reliance on an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and in reliance on exemptions from the
qualification requirements of
applicable state securities laws. The Shareholder acknowledges that the shares of Parent
Common Stock so issued to the Shareholder will be “restricted securities” under Federal and state
securities laws and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Shareholder represents and
acknowledges that the Shareholder is familiar with Rule 144 and Rule 145 of the Securities Act as
presently in effect and understands the restrictions and resale limitations imposed thereby and by
the Securities Act.
1.2 Limitations on Transfer. The Shareholder understands and agrees that such
shares of Parent Common Stock cannot be offered, resold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to
(i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering such offer, sale or
transfer and such offer, sale or transfer is made in accordance with such registration statement,
or (ii) an available exemption from registration, in which case the Shareholder shall furnish
Parent with (1) a written statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed sale or transfer
and (2) an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, that such
sale or transfer will not require registration under the Securities Act. The Shareholder hereby
covenants and agrees that he, she or it will not offer, sell or otherwise transfer such shares of
Parent Common Stock except in compliance with this Section 1.2 and with applicable Federal and
state securities laws.
1.3 Right of First Refusal.
(a) The Right. In the event that the Shareholder proposes to sell, pledge or
otherwise transfer to a third party any Parent Common Stock, or any interest in Parent Common
Stock, Parent shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of
such Parent Common Stock. If the Shareholder desires to transfer Parent Common Stock, the
Shareholder shall give a written transfer notice to Parent describing fully the proposed transfer,
including the number of shares of Parent Common Stock proposed to be transferred, the proposed
transfer price, the name and address of the proposed transferee and proof satisfactory to Parent
that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal, State or foreign
securities laws. The transfer notice shall be signed both by the Shareholder and by the proposed
transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Parent
Common Stock. Parent shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Parent
Common Stock on the terms of the proposal described in the transfer notice (subject, however, to
any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise
of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the transfer notice was received
by Parent.
(b) Transfer of Shares. If Parent fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal
within 30 days after receiving the transfer notice, the Shareholder may, not later than 90 days
after Parent received the transfer notice, conclude a transfer of the Parent Common Stock subject
to the transfer notice on the terms and conditions described in the transfer notice, provided that
any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal, State and foreign securities laws and
not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Shareholder is bound. Any
proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the transfer notice, as
well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Shareholder, shall again be subject to the Right of
First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above.
If Parent exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Parent
Common Stock on the terms set forth in the transfer notice within 60 days after Parent received the
transfer notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the transfer notice);
provided, however, that in the event the transfer notice provided that payment for the Parent
Common Stock was to be made in a form other than cash or cash equivalents paid at the time of
transfer, Parent shall have the option of paying for the Parent Common Stock with cash or cash
equivalents equal to the present value of the consideration described in the transfer notice.
2
(c) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property. In the event of a merger or
consolidation of Parent with or into another entity (subject to Subsection (d) below), any other
corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an
extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion
ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting Parent’s outstanding securities, any
securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such
transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Parent Common Stock subject to this
Section 1.3 shall immediately be subject to the Right of First Refusal. Appropriate adjustments to
reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number
and/or class of the Parent Common Stock subject to this Section 1.3.
(d) Termination of Right of First Refusal. Any other provision of this Section 1.3
notwithstanding, in the event that the Parent Common Stock (or securities issued in exchange for
the Parent Common Stock in a merger or acquisition of Parent) is readily tradable on an established
securities market when the Shareholder desires to transfer Parent Common Stock, Parent shall have
no Right of First Refusal, and the Shareholder shall have no obligation to comply with the
procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above.
(e) Permitted Transfers. This Section 1.3 shall not apply to (i) a transfer by
beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) a transfer to one or more members of
the Shareholder’s immediate family or to a trust established by the Shareholder for the benefit of
the Shareholder and/or one or more members of the Shareholder’s immediate family or (iii) if
Shareholder is a partnership, to one or more affiliates of Shareholder, provided in either case
that the transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by Parent to be bound by all provisions
of this Certificate. If the Shareholder transfers any Parent Common Stock, either under this
Subsection (d) or after Parent has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then this
Certificate shall apply to the transferee to the same extent as to the Shareholder.
(f) Termination of Rights as Stockholder. If Parent makes available, at the time
and place and in the amount and form provided in this Certificate, the consideration for the Parent
Common Stock to be purchased in accordance with this Section 1.3, then after such time the person
from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such
Parent Common Stock (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance
with this Certificate). Such Parent Common Stock shall be deemed to have been purchased in
accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have
been delivered as required by this Certificate.
(g) Assignment of Right of First Refusal. The Board of Directors of Parent may
freely assign Parent’s Right of First Refusal, in whole or in part. Any person who accepts an
assignment of the Right of First Refusal from Parent shall assume all of Parent’s rights and
obligations under this Section 1.3.
1.4 Restrictive Legend. The certificates representing the shares of Parent Common
Stock issued in the Merger shall bear, in addition to any other legends required under applicable
state securities laws, the following legends:

OF COUNSEL, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, TO THE

shares of Parent Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the
Shareholder or are thereafter acquired), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that
transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the
shares of Parent Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above

or otherwise. The underwriters involved with the public offering of Parent Common Stock are
intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 3.3 and shall have the right, power and

Company’s initial public offering that are consistent with this Section 3.3 or that are necessary
to give further effect thereto.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, Parent may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to the Shareholder’s shares of Parent Common Stock (and the shares or securities of every
other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
