1
AGREEMENT
The Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Merger Partner, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and Merger Partner shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).
1.2 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Partner and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Merger Partner and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
1.3 Closing; Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1 of this Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx Godward LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the fifth Business Day) following the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions) or at such other time, date and place as Merger Partner and DPI may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” At the Closing, the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by executing and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Merger with respect to the Merger, satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL and in a form reasonably acceptable to DPI and Merger Partner. The Merger shall become effective at the time of the filing of such Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed upon by DPI and Merger Partner and specified in such Certificate of Merger (the time as of which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time:
(a) the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Partner shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation; and
(b) DPI shall cause the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to be amended to read in their entirety in a manner to be agreed upon by DPI and Merger Partner and such bylaws, as so amended, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Bylaws.
2
1.5 Recapitalization of DPI Common Stock
(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, and subject to receipt of the requisite stockholder approval at the DPI Stockholders Meeting, DPI shall cause to be filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “DPI Certificate of Amendment”), whereby without any further action on the part of DPI, Merger Partner or any stockholder of DPI:
(i) each share of DPI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the filing of the DPI Certificate of Amendment shall be converted into and become a fractional number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of DPI Common Stock to be determined by DPI and Merger Partner (the “Reverse Stock Split”); and
(ii) any shares of DPI Common Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by DPI immediately prior to the filing of the DPI Certificate of Amendment shall each be converted into and become an identical fractional number of shares of DPI Common Stock as determined by the board of directors of DPI in connection with Section 1.5(a)(i) above.
(b) No fractional shares of DPI Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of DPI Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of DPI Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of DPI Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such holder’s certificate representing such fractional shares of DPI Common Stock, be paid in cash the dollar amount (provided to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of DPI Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split.
(c) The exchange ratios set forth in Schedule I hereto shall be appropriately adjusted at the Effective Time to account for the effect of the Reverse Stock Split without enlarging or diluting the relative rights and ownership of the stockholders of Merger Partner and DPI resulting from such exchange ratios.
1.6 Conversion of Merger Partner Shares.
(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of DPI, Merger Partner or any stockholder of Merger Partner:
(i) any shares of Merger Partner Common Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by Merger Partner immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;
(ii) subject to Section 1.6(c), each share of Merger Partner Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of DPI Common Stock equal to the applicable Merger Partner Common Stock exchange ratio. If the Net Cash at Closing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.7, is greater than or equal to $70,000,000 and less than or equal to $75,000,000, the Merger
3
Partner Common Stock exchange ratio shall be 0.95118. If the Net Cash at Closing is less than $70,000,000 or more than $75,000,000, the Merger Partner Common Stock exchange ratio shall be determined in accordance with Schedule I hereto; and
(iii) subject to Section 1.6(c), each share of Merger Partner Series A Preferred Stock, Merger Partner Series B Preferred Stock, Merger Partner Series C Preferred Stock and Merger Partner Series D Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of DPI Common Stock equal to (i) in the event the Net Cash at Closing is greater than or equal to $70,000,000 and less than or equal to $75,000,000, as calculated pursuant to Section 1.7, the exchange ratio for (A) the Merger Partner Series A Preferred Stock shall be 0.84509, (B) the Merger Partner Series B Preferred Stock held by the Group 1 Series B Stockholders shall be 1.07472, (C) the Merger Partner Series B Preferred Stock held by the Group 2 Series B Preferred Stockholders shall be 1.20900, (D) the Merger Partner Series C Preferred Stock shall be 1.12126, and (D) the Merger Partner Series D Preferred Stock shall be 1.14607 and (ii) in the event the Net Cash at Closing is less than $70,000,000 or more than $75,000,000, as calculated pursuant to Section 1.7, the exchange ratios for each series of Merger Partner Preferred Stock shall be determined in accordance with Schedule I.
(b) If any shares of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or the risk of forfeiture or under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with Merger Partner, then the shares of DPI Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and the certificates representing such shares of DPI Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. Merger Partner shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement.
(c) No fractional shares of DPI Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of DPI Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of DPI Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such holder’s Merger Partner Stock Certificate(s) (as defined in Section 1.7), be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of DPI Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market on the date the Merger becomes effective.
(d) All Merger Partner Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Merger Partner Stock Option Plans and all Merger Partner Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged for options to purchase DPI Common Stock or warrants to purchase DPI Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.5.
4
(e) Each share of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.
1.7 Calculation of Net Cash.
(a) DPI and Merger Partner shall agree upon an anticipated date for Closing (the “First Anticipated Closing Date”) at least ten Business Days prior to the DPI Stockholders’ Meeting. At least five Business Days prior to the First Anticipated Closing Date, but not more than ten Business Days prior to such date, DPI shall deliver to Merger Partner a schedule (a “Net Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, DPI’s estimate of Net Cash (the “Net Cash Estimation”) as of the First Anticipated Closing Date. DPI shall make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the applicable Net Cash Schedule available to Merger Partner and its accountants, counsel and other advisors at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.
(b) Within ten Business Days after DPI delivers the applicable Net Cash Schedule (a “Lapse Date”), Merger Partner shall have the right to dispute any part of such Net Cash Schedule by delivering a written notice to that effect to DPI (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the applicable Net Cash Estimation.
(c) If on or prior to any Lapse Date, (i) Merger Partner notifies DPI that it has no objections to the applicable Net Cash Estimation or (ii) Merger Partner fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided above, then the Net Cash Estimation as set forth in the Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed, on the date of such notification (in the case of (i) above) or on the applicable Lapse Date (in the case of (ii) above) (the applicable date being referred to herein as the “Non-Dispute Net Cash Determination Date”), to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Net Cash at Closing for purposes of Sections 1.6(a) and 8.6 and Schedule I hereto, so long as Closing occurs within five Business Days after the applicable Non-Dispute Net Cash Determination Date.
(d) If Merger Partner delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the applicable Lapse Date, then Representatives of DPI and Merger Partner shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Net Cash as of a particular date to be agreed to by DPI and Merger Partner, which Net Cash amount shall be deemed, on the date of agreement between DPI and Merger Partner as to such amount (a “Dispute Net Cash Determination Date”), as the final determination for purposes of this Agreement of Net Cash at Closing for purposes of Sections 1.6(a) and 8.6 and Schedule I hereto, so long as Closing occurs within five Business Days after the applicable Dispute Net Cash Determination Date.
(e) If Representatives of DPI and Merger Partner pursuant to clause (d) above are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Net Cash as of a particular date to be agreed to by DPI and Merger Partner, or if Closing does not occur within five Business Days
5
after an applicable Non-Dispute Net Cash Determination Date or an applicable Dispute Net Cash Determination Date, then DPI and Merger Partner shall agree upon an additional anticipated date for Closing (a “Subsequent Anticipated Closing Date”) and thereafter follow the procedures set forth in Sections 1.7(a) through 1.7(d) above as many times as necessary (and replacing the First Anticipated Closing Date with the Subsequent Anticipated Closing Date in each instance) until Net Cash at Closing for purposes of Sections 1.6(a) and 8.6 and Schedule I hereto is or is deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 1.7.
1.8 Closing of Merger Partner’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Merger Partner Common Stock and Merger Partner Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and all holders of certificates representing shares of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of Merger Partner except as otherwise provided herein; and (b) the stock transfer books of Merger Partner shall be closed with respect to all shares of Merger Partner Common Stock and Merger Partner Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Merger Partner Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Merger Partner Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 1.9) or to the Surviving Corporation, such Merger Partner Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.9.
1.9 Surrender of Certificates.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, DPI and Merger Partner shall agree upon and select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the Effective Time, DPI shall deposit with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates representing the shares of DPI Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.6; and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6(c). The shares of DPI Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”
(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event more than 5 Business Days after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Merger Partner Stock Certificates immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as DPI may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Merger Partner Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Merger Partner Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Merger Partner Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Merger Partner Stock Certificates in exchange for certificates representing DPI Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Merger Partner Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or DPI: (A) the holder of such Merger Partner Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in
6
exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of DPI Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6 (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of DPI Common Stock); and (B) the Merger Partner Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Merger Partner, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of DPI Common Stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(c) may be issued or paid to a person other than the person in whose name the applicable Merger Partner Stock Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Merger Partner Stock Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid, along with an applicable affidavit with respect to such Merger Partner Stock Certificate and such bond indemnifying DPI against any claims suffered by DPI related to such Merger Partner Stock Certificate or any DPI Common Stock issued in exchange therefor as DPI may reasonably request. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.9(b), each Merger Partner Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of DPI Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of DPI Common Stock) as contemplated by Section 1.6. If any Merger Partner Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, DPI may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of DPI Common Stock with respect to the shares of Merger Partner Common Stock previously represented by such Merger Partner Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Merger Partner Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Merger Partner Stock Certificate and post a bond indemnifying DPI against any claim suffered by DPI related to the lost, stolen or destroyed Merger Partner Stock Certificate or any DPI Common Stock issued in exchange therefor as DPI may reasonably request.
(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to DPI Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Merger Partner Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of DPI Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the Merger until such holder surrenders such Merger Partner Stock Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.9 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).
(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Merger Partner Stock Certificates as of the date 180 days after the Closing Date shall be delivered or made available to DPI upon demand, and any holders of Merger Partner Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Merger Partner Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.9 shall thereafter look only to DPI for satisfaction of their claims for DPI Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of DPI Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of DPI Common Stock.
(e) Each of the Exchange Agent and DPI shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any Merger Partner Stock Certificate such amounts as DPI determines in good faith are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts
7
are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
(f) No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any Merger Partner Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any shares of DPI Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock under the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the per share amount of the merger consideration attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Section 1.9.
(b) Merger Partner shall give DPI prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders received by the Merger Partner, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on Merger Partner and any material correspondence received by Merger Partner in connection with such demands.
1.11 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Partner, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of Merger Partner and otherwise) to take such action.
1.12 Tax Consequences. For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(a) Subject to Section 5.5(d), at the Effective Time, each Merger Partner Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become an option to purchase DPI Common Stock, and DPI shall assume each such Merger Partner Option in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the stock option plan, if any, under which such Merger Partner Option was issued and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Merger Partner Option is evidenced. All rights with respect to Merger Partner Common Stock under Merger Partner Options assumed by DPI shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to DPI Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Merger Partner Option assumed by DPI may be exercised solely for shares of DPI Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of DPI Common Stock subject to each Merger Partner Option assumed by DPI shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Merger Partner Common Stock that were subject to such Merger Partner Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Merger Partner Common Stock exchange ratio, as determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a), and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of DPI Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the DPI Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Merger Partner Option assumed by DPI shall be determined by dividing the effective per share exercise price of Merger Partner Common Stock subject to such Merger Partner Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Merger Partner Common Stock exchange ratio, as determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a), and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Merger Partner Option assumed by DPI shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Merger Partner Options shall otherwise remain unchanged including, with respect to Merger Partner Options that were intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, such provisions shall remain unchanged as are necessary to ensure that such Merger Partner Options continue to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code; provided, however, that: (A) each Merger Partner Option assumed by DPI in accordance with this Section 5.5(a) shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to DPI Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time; and (B) the board of directors of DPI or a committee
62
thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the board of directors of Merger Partner or any committee thereof with respect to each Merger Partner Option assumed by DPI.
(b) Subject to Section 5.5(d), at the Effective Time, each Merger Partner Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become converted into and become a warrant to purchase DPI Common Stock and DPI shall assume each such Merger Partner Warrant in accordance with its terms. All rights with respect to Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock under Merger Partner Warrants assumed by DPI shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to DPI Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Merger Partner Warrant assumed by DPI may be exercised solely for shares of DPI Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of DPI Common Stock subject to each Merger Partner Warrant assumed by DPI shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock, as the case may be, that were subject to such Merger Partner Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the relevant exchange ratio, as determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a), and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of DPI Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the DPI Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Merger Partner Warrant assumed by DPI shall be determined by dividing the effective per share exercise price of Merger Partner Common Stock or Merger Partner Preferred Stock, as the case may be, that were subject to such Merger Partner Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the relevant exchange ratio, as determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a), and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on any Merger Partner Warrant assumed by DPI shall continue in full force and effect and the term and other provisions of such Merger Partner Warrant shall otherwise remain unchanged.
(c) DPI shall file with the SEC, no later than 30 days after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8, if available for use by DPI, relating to the shares of DPI Common Stock issuable with respect to Merger Partner Options assumed by DPI in accordance with Section 5.5(a).
(d) Prior to the Effective Time, DPI and Merger Partner shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Merger Partner Stock Option Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.5 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Merger Partner Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.5.
5.6 DPI Options. For the avoidance of doubt, at the Effective Time, each DPI Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be assumed by DPI in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the DPI 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, or the DPI 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as applicable, under which such DPI Option was issued and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such DPI Option is evidenced.
63
5.7 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
(a) From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of DPI and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of DPI or Merger Partner (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of DPI or Merger Partner, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL for directors or officers of Delaware corporations.

In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
10.11 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being the addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

78
(d) Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Exhibits” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement.
(e) The bold-faced headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
