(a) Indemnification Escrow Fund. The Indemnification Escrow Amount (plus any interest or other income paid on such Indemnification Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) (the “Indemnification Escrow Fund”) shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any Indemnifiable Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under Article VIII. The terms of, and timing and payment under, the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be in accordance with

Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Released Indemnification Escrow Amount payable to the Stockholders shall be allocated among, and distributed to, the Stockholders such that with respect to any distribution of the Released Indemnification Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Escrow Agreement (each an “Indemnification Escrow Distribution”) in the following priority:

(i) first, each share of Company Series A Preferred Stock (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall represent the right to receive in respect of such share a pro rata share of any Indemnification Escrow Distributions up to, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Series A Liquidation Amount and the Series A Liquidation Amount (without taking into account the proviso to the definition of Series A Liquidation Amount), in cash, without interest and rounded to the nearest cent ($0.01) (with amounts greater than or equal to $0.005 rounded up). The parties acknowledge and agree that any Indemnification Escrow Distribution, if any, will be paid first to the holders of the Company Series A Preferred Stock in order to make up the shortfall, if any, of the full Series A Liquidation Preference Payment (as such term is defined in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Charter”)) required to be paid by Section 4(a)(i) of Article Fourth of the Restated Charter;

(ii) second, each share of Company Series 1 Preferred Stock (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall represent the right to receive in respect of such share a pro rata share of any Indemnification Escrow Distributions up to, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Series 1 Liquidation Amount and the Series 1 Liquidation Amount (without taking into account the proviso to the definition of Series 1 Liquidation Amount), in cash, without interest and rounded to the nearest cent ($0.01) (with amounts greater than or equal to $0.005 rounded up). The parties acknowledge and agree that any Indemnification Escrow Distribution, if any, will be paid second (after all payments, if any, made pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) above) to the holders of the Company Series 1 Preferred Stock in order to make up the shortfall, if any, of the full Series 1 Liquidation Preference Payment (as such term is defined in the Restated Charter) required to be paid by Section 4(a)(ii) of Article Fourth of the Restated Charter; and

(iii) third, each share of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall represent the right to receive in respect of such share an amount equal its pro-rata share, on a per-share basis, of the remaining Indemnification Escrow Distribution (after all payments, if any, made pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) and Section 2.2(a)(ii) above), in cash, without interest and rounded to the nearest cent ($0.01) (with amounts greater than or equal to $0.005 rounded up). The parties acknowledge and agree that any Indemnification Escrow Distribution, if any, paid pursuant to this Section 2.2(a)(iii) will be paid third (after all payments, if any, made pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) and Section 2.2(a)(ii) above).

(b) Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund. The Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount (plus any interest or other income paid on such Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) (the “Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund” and, together with the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the “Escrow Fund”) shall be used solely to reimburse the Stockholders’ Representative for Stockholders’ Representative Expenses pursuant to Section 8.4(e). The terms of, and timing and payment, under the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund shall be in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Released Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount payable to the Stockholders shall be allocated among, and distributed to, the Stockholders such that with respect to any distribution of the Released Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Escrow Agreement (each a “Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Distribution”), such distribution shall be in the same manner and in the same priority as the Indemnification Escrow Distribution, in cash, without interest and rounded to the nearest cent ($0.01) (with amounts greater than or equal to $0.005 rounded up).

Section 2.3 Company Stock Options and Company Warrants.

(a) Cancellation of Options. The Company shall take all actions necessary to cancel all outstanding Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time, including without limitation, by sending the notice required by Section 10.2 of the Company Option Plan. The Company shall send such notice, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent in form and substance, promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days, following the execution of this Agreement.

(b) Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall have caused (i) each outstanding Company Warrant to have been exercised for shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with its terms, (ii) the holders of each outstanding Company Warrant to have irrevocably committed in writing to terminate or exchange such Company Warrant for cash, (iii) each outstanding Company Warrant to have been surrendered for no value and canceled, or (iv) any combination of the actions specified in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to each outstanding Company Warrant.

Section 2.4 Escrow Fund Payments.

(a) Escrow Fund Payments as Merger Consideration. The portions of the Escrow Fund payable to the Stockholders pursuant to this Article II are intended to be treated for Tax purposes as consideration for the Company Capital Stock purchased by Parent in the Merger and shall be treated as such consideration (subject to the requirement to treat a portion as imputed interest) for all Tax purposes except to the extent otherwise required by a final determination of a Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent makes no

representations or warranties to the Company or the Stockholders regarding the Tax treatment of the Transactions by any Taxing Authority, or any of the Tax consequences to any Stockholders relating to the Transactions. Each of the Company and each Stockholder must rely solely on his, her or its own tax advisors in connection with the Transactions.

(b) Payment to, and Allocation Among, Stockholders. Any Released Escrow Amount shall be allocated among the Stockholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Any reference herein to payment of the Released Escrow Amount to the Stockholders provided for in this Article II shall be paid to the Exchange Agent promptly, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days, after the time any such payment is due, for further distribution to the Stockholders as soon thereafter as practicable. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to make timely payments in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(b).

(c) Escrow Fund Payment Rights Not Transferable. No Stockholder may, directly or indirectly, sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of his, her or its right to receive any portion of the Escrow Fund (except by will or by operation of the Laws of intestate succession).

Section 2.5 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has properly demanded and not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal rights for such shares under the DGCL, if applicable (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 2.1(c), but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by the DGCL, if applicable.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.5(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights with respect to such shares under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such shares.

(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall, except with the prior

written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any communication to be made by the Company to any Stockholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any Stockholder prior to the Company receiving Parent’s consent thereto, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company (A) makes any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement, or (B) incurs any Losses in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) ((A) and (B) together “Excess Dissenting Share Payments”), Parent shall be entitled to recover the amount of the Excess Dissenting Share Payments in accordance with the terms of Article VIII.

Section 2.6 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or another bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholders’ Representative, to act as exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) to receive, for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Capital Stock, the Merger Consideration to which holders of shares of Company Capital Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.2. Parent shall deposit the portion of the Initial Merger Consideration to which holders of Company Capital Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c) with the Exchange Agent promptly after the Effective Time. Such Merger Consideration deposited with the Exchange Agent shall, pending its disbursement to such Stockholders, be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent.

(b) Escrow Deposits. Notwithstanding Section 2.6(a), for the avoidance of doubt, at Closing, Parent shall deposit into the Escrow Fund the Indemnification Escrow Amount and the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount. The Escrow Fund shall be governed by the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement. Amounts released from the Escrow Fund shall be distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with the rights of such Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.2 and Section 2.4.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each Stockholder of record holding a Certificate for whom the Stockholders’ Representative has provided Parent with an accurate mailing address (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificate to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in

accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent), the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the consideration provided for herein, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer in accordance with Section 2.6(d), and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.6(c), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, in accordance with this Article II, without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent may provide for payments to Employees to be made through Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s normal payroll procedures.

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Initial Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock (together with the contingent right to receive, if when, and to the extent payable, the Released Escrow Amount) upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Certificates, and at the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Capital Stock, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Laws. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.6(f), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Parent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of the fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II.

(f) Termination of Fund. At any time following one hundred and eighty days (180) after the Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of the Initial Merger Consideration and which have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Initial Merger Consideration that may be payable upon surrender of any Certificates held by such holders, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.

ARTICLE VII

Termination

Section 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent; or

(b) by either of the Company or Parent, upon written notice to the other party:

(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before November 30, 2007 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to have been consummated on or before the Outside Date; or

(ii) if any Restraint having the effect set forth in Section 6.1(c) shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party if such Restraint was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(i) if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach or failure (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by the Company by the Outside Date; or

(ii) if any Restraint having the effect of granting or implementing any relief referred to Section 6.2(b) shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; or

agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of Parent set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach or failure (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Parent by the Outside Date.

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1 written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than the provisions of Sections 3.27 (Brokers and Other Advisors), Section 5.5 (Public Announcements), Section 5.6 (Access to Information; Confidentiality), but only as it pertains to confidentiality, Section 5.12 (Expenses), Article IX and this Section 7.2, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their respective directors, officers or Affiliates, except nothing shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

Survival and Indemnification

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder shall survive until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the date of expiration of such eighteen (18) month period, the “Survival Date”), except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1(a) (Organization, Standing and Corporate Power), Section 3.1(c) (No Subsidiaries), Section 3.2(a), the first two sentences of Section 3.2(c) and Section 3.2(d) (Capitalization), the first two sentences of Section 3.3(a) (Authority), Section 3.3(c) (Voting Requirements) and Section 3.3(d)(i) (No Conflicts with Company Charter Documents) (collectively, the “Excluded Representations”) shall survive indefinitely; provided, however, that if a claim or notice with respect to recovery under the indemnification provisions hereof is given in accordance with the terms hereof with respect to any representation or warranty prior to the Survival Date, if applicable, the claim shall continue indefinitely until such claim is finally resolved pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all of the covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period, unless such covenant or agreement has an express termination date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, claims for fraud or willful breach on the part of any party to this Agreement shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by the Stockholders.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Article VIII, the Stockholders (referred to in this Article VIII as the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns

(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses of such Person, directly or indirectly (such Losses, “Indemnifiable Losses”), as a result of, or based upon or arising from, (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties, made by the Company in this Agreement, including in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto (both when made and as if such representations and warranties were made as of the Closing Date), (ii) any breach of or failure to perform on or prior to the Closing any covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement that are required to be performed on or prior to the Closing, (iii) any Excess Dissenting Share Payments, (iv) any Excess Third Party Expenses, (v) any Stockholders’ Representative Expenses, (vi) any inaccuracy in the Indebtedness Statement, (vii) any inaccuracy in the Capitalization Statement, (viii) any inaccuracy in the Warrant Statement, (ix) any inaccuracy in the Working Capital Statement in the event that, after giving effect to such inaccuracy, the condition set forth in Section 6.2(h) would not have been satisfied and (x) Taxes of the Company for any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), and Taxes of any other Person imposed on the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, whether imposed as a result of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any provision of any foreign, state or local Tax Law having similar effect, as transferee, successor, by contract or otherwise, and (xi) the matters set forth on Schedule 8.2(a)(xi) hereto (together, the “Indemnifiable Matters”).

(b) No Indemnifying Party shall have any obligation for Indemnifiable Losses as a result of, or based upon or arising from any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 3.10 (“Indemnifiable Tax Losses”) unless the aggregate amount of all such Indemnifiable Tax Losses exceeds the Tax Set-Off Amount. “Tax Set-Off Amount” shall mean the actual amount of any refund or credit received by the Company in cash within eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date for Taxes with respect to a Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Company Working Capital at Closing does not exceed $1,787,000 then the Tax Set-Off Amount shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount by which the Company Working Capital at Closing is less than $1,787,000; provided, further, that if such calculation produces a number that is less than zero, then the Tax Set-Off Amount shall be zero.

(c) For purposes of clause (x) of Section 8.2(a), in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of property Taxes, ad valorem Taxes or other Taxes based on the value of property, the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, based on a closing of the books of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

Section 8.3 Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.

(a) Direct Claims for Indemnification. An Indemnified Party may seek recovery of Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VIII by delivering to the Stockholders’ Representative a Claim Notice in respect of such claim. To be valid pursuant to this Section 8.3(a), a Claim Notice relating to an Indemnifiable Loss under clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) must be delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative prior to the applicable Survival Date, if any; provided, however, that any claims by Indemnified Parties with respect to any such Indemnifiable Loss made prior to the applicable Survival Date shall continue indefinitely until such claim is resolved pursuant to the terms of Article VIII. The date of such delivery of a Claim Notice is referred to herein as the “Claim Date” of such Claim Notice (and the claims for indemnification contained therein). For purposes hereof, “Claim Notice” shall mean a notice of an Indemnified Party: (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, incurred, or accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it shall have to pay, sustain, incur or accrue Indemnifiable Losses and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Indemnifiable Losses included in the amount so stated, the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Indemnifiable Losses, the date each such item was paid, sustained, incurred, or accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the Indemnifiable Matter to which such item is related. The Stockholders’ Representative may object to a claim for indemnification set forth in a Claim Notice by delivering to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification (and, in the case of a claim against the Indemnification Escrow Fund, to the Escrow Agent) within thirty (30) days after the delivery by an Indemnified Party of a Claim Notice (such date, the “Objection Deadline”), a written statement of objection to the claim made in the Claim Notice (an “Objection Notice”), which Objection Notice, in order to be effective, shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in respect of which the objection is made. If the Stockholders’ Representative does not object in writing by the Objection Deadline, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Stockholders’ Representative and the Indemnifying Parties that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claims for Indemnifiable Losses set forth in such Claim Notice (and such entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established), and the Stockholders’ Representative shall take all necessary actions under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to effect payment (or set-off) in respect thereof.

(b) Resolution of Conflicts.

(i) If the Stockholders’ Representative timely delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 8.3(a), the Stockholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to resolve such dispute. If the Stockholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Party reach an agreement with respect to such dispute, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties (a “Settlement Memorandum”) and, in the case of a claim against the Indemnification Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such Settlement Memorandum and make distributions from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

(ii) If the Stockholders’ Representative and the Indemnified Party are unable to reach an agreement with respect to such dispute after good faith negotiation during the aforementioned thirty (30) day period following delivery of an Objection Notice with respect to such claim, any party to such dispute may institute Legal Proceedings with respect to the matter unless the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss that is at issue is the subject of a pending litigation with a third party, in which event such Legal Proceedings shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained, or both parties otherwise agree. Any final and nonappealable decision, judgment or award rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, or any consummation of arbitration, as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Notice shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and any other Indemnifying Parties and Indemnified Parties. If reasonably possible, such final decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the decision, judgment or award awarded by such Governmental Authority or arbitrator(s) (a “Written Decision”), and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and make distributions from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with, the terms of such Written Decision. Within ten (10) days of any such decision, the Stockholders’ Representative shall take all necessary actions under this Agreement and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement to effect payment in respect thereof.

(c) Third-Party Claims. In the event that Legal Proceedings shall be instituted, or that any claim shall be asserted, by any Person not party to this Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Matter (a “Third Party Claim”), an Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative of any such claim to which it has knowledge; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any indemnification obligations, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party shall have demonstrated that it has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party given within ten (10) days after the notice of the Third Party Claim, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, at their sole cost and expense, to assume and control defense of such Third Party Claim, with counsel approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, if (i) the Stockholders’ Representative acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Parties’ obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII with respect to all elements of such claim, (ii) there does not exist, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, an actual conflict of interest between the interests of the Indemnified Party and the interests of any Indemnifying Parties, (iii) the third party seeks monetary damages only, (iv) an adverse resolution of the Third Party Claim would not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, have an adverse effect on (A) the goodwill or the reputation of the Indemnified Party of any of the Affiliates of such Indemnified Party or (B) the future conduct of any of the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Affiliates of such Indemnified Party and (v) the maximum monetary liability under such Third Party Claim, as determined in good faith by the Indemnified Party, is less than or equal to two times the then-remaining amount of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, after taking into account the amount of all other claims for which the Indemnifying Parties may be or may reasonably be expected to be claimed to be liable.

If the Stockholders’ Representative so assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) such defense, with its own counsel and at its own expense (except that the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the actual fees and expenses of separate co-counsel to the extent there is an actual conflict between the interests of the Indemnified Party and any of the Indemnifying Parties). In addition, if the Stockholders’ Representative so assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, he or she shall diligently take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to any settlement or to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim unless such settlement or entry of judgment (i) includes only the payment of monetary damages (which are fully paid by the Indemnifying Party), (ii) does not impose any injunctive or equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (iii) does not require any admission or acknowledgement of liability or fault of the Indemnified Party, and (iv) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. In addition, the Stockholders’ Representative may not admit any liability of any Indemnified Party or waive any Indemnified Party’s rights without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. If a Third Party Claim results in a judgment or settlement, the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly pay such judgment or settlement.

If the Stockholders’ Representative (i) fails to (or is not permitted under the terms hereof to) assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, or (ii) in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, fails to diligently prosecute such defense, then the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim, at the Indemnifying Parties’ sole cost, risk and expense, in such manner as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, settling the Third Party Claim on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the Stockholders’ Representative will be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, further, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into any such settlement. The Indemnified Party and the Stockholders’ Representative agree to make reasonably available to each other, their counsel and other representatives, all information and documents available to them which relate to such Third Party Claim, subject to attorney-client privilege. The Indemnified Party and the Stockholders’ Representative also agree to render to each other such reasonable assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any and all significant developments relating to any such Third Party Claims. The costs incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to defending or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claims shall constitute Stockholders’ Representative Expenses.

(d) Satisfaction of Claims. Except to the extent that the Indemnifiable Losses resulted from breaches of the Excluded Representations, from Excess Dissenting Share Payments, from any Excess Third Party Expenses or from fraud or willful breach, recovery by an Indemnified Party for Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Agreement shall be satisfied from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of Section 8.3(h). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding

sentence, Indemnifiable Losses resulting from breaches of the Excluded Representations, from Excess Dissenting Share Payments, from any Excess Third Party Expenses or from fraud or willful breach, shall be satisfied first from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of Section 8.3(h); provided, however, that in the event that the Indemnification Escrow Fund is not sufficient to satisfy the Indemnifiable Losses resulting from breaches of the Excluded Representations, from Excess Dissenting Share Payments, from any Excess Third Party Expenses or from fraud or willful breach, such Indemnifiable Losses may be satisfied in any manner available to an Indemnified Party at law or in equity, including claims directly against any Stockholder; provided, further, that the liability of the Stockholders in excess of the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be several but not joint with respect to such Stockholders; provided, further, that any liability in excess of the Indemnification Escrow Fund with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties regarding the ownership of Company Capital Stock by a Stockholder shall be recoverable only against such Stockholder or its successors or assigns.

(e) Materiality Determination. For the purpose of determining the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss resulting from, a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the Company for purposes of this Article VIII, any “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifiers or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty shall in each case be disregarded and without effect (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty).

(f) Claims Unaffected by Investigation. The right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification or to assert or recover on any claim shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy of or compliance with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements set forth in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

(g) Surviving Corporation. The parties acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Indemnifiable Losses as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as an Indemnified Party) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Indemnifiable Losses as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

(h) Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to any claim based upon breaches of Excluded Representations, Excess Dissenting Share Payments, Excess Third Party Expenses or upon fraud or willful breach, for which there shall be no limitations

imposed by this Agreement, following the Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedy for any Indemnifiable Loss under Section 8.2(a) paid, incurred, sustained or accrued by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, shall be recovery from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 8.4 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) Appointment. By virtue of the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement, each of the Stockholders irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints Advantage Capital Partners New York I, LP as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Stockholders for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that the Stockholders’ Representative may, in his or her sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article VIII or under the Escrow Agreement. Advantage Capital Partners I, LP hereby accepts his or her appointment as Stockholders’ Representative.

(b) Authority. The Stockholders grant to the Stockholders’ Representative full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of each such Stockholder (in the name of any or all of the Stockholders or otherwise) any and all documents that the Stockholders’ Representative may, in his or her sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Stockholders’ Representative may, in his or her sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing his or her duties as contemplated by this Section 8.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the Transactions: (i) each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Representative on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation, reimbursement pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; and (ii) Parent, each Indemnified Party, the Escrow Agent and each Stockholder shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Representative, as fully binding upon such Stockholder. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.4, shall constitute a decision of the Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Stockholders; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative.

(c) Power of Attorney. The Stockholders recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 8.4(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the Stockholders’ Representative; and (iii) shall survive the death or incapacity of each of the Stockholders.

(d) Replacement. If the Stockholders’ Representative shall resign, dissolve, liquidate (or resign, die or become disabled if the Stockholders’ Representative is an individual) or otherwise be unable to fulfill such Stockholders’ Representative’s responsibilities hereunder, the Stockholders shall (by consent of those Persons entitled to at least a majority of the Indemnification Escrow Fund), within ten (10) days after such resignation, dissolution, liquidation (or death or disability if the Stockholders’ Representative is an individual) or inability, appoint a successor to the Stockholders’ Representative (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent) and immediately thereafter notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed such former Stockholders’ Representative as Stockholders’ Representative hereunder. If for any reason there is no Stockholders’ Representative at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholders.

(e) Indemnification; Stockholders’ Representative Expenses.
