AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), made and entered into as of July 7, 2008 by and among DRIFTWOOD VENTURES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), DFTW MERGER SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), GREEN SCREEN INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Representative”). Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are sometimes referred to herein each individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have each declared it to be advisable and in the best interests of each corporation and their respective stockholders that Parent and the Company combine in order to advance their long-term business interests;

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have each approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the terms and conditions set forth herein, which Merger will result in, among other things, the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and the Company Stockholders becoming stockholders of Parent; and

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3), in accordance with the DGCL and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, shall continue its existence under the DGCL as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as the case may be, of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the closing of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (eastern standard time) on a date to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Closing Date”), which date shall be no later than the second Business Day (as defined below) after all the conditions set forth in Article VI (excluding conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing) shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 8.5, unless another time and/or date is agreed to in writing by the Parties. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. in New York, New York. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day on which banks are permitted to be open in New York, New York.

1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Parties shall cause the Merger to become effective by executing and filing in accordance with the DGCL a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Certificate of Merger”), the date and time of such filing, or such later date and time as may be agreed upon by the Parties and specified therein, being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

1.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in Section 259 of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the assets, properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time and without further action on the part of the Parties, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with the respective terms thereof.

1.6 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 Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

1.7 Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holders of the following securities:

(a) Each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled and retired pursuant to Section 1.10 and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.15)) shall be converted automatically into the right to receive that number (expressed as a decimal) of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Parent, par value $0.001 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Exchange Ratio” shall initially be 7.063643, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.14.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled and retired pursuant to Section 1.10 and any Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which previously represented any such share of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Certificate” and, collectively, the “Company Certificates”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as set forth herein or under applicable law. The holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock held by each of them were converted pursuant to Section 1.7(a), rounded to the nearest whole number upon delivery of the certificates representing such shares of Company Common Stock to Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (and except as otherwise set forth in Section 1.14 or Section 1.7(c) below), the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued under this Section 1.7(b) to the holders of the Company Common Stock (the “Company Stockholders” and each, a “Company Stockholder”) shall equal 26,098,303 shares (the “Closing Shares”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Merger Consideration” means the Closing Shares to which each Company Stockholder is entitled to receive under this Section 1.7(b), subject to Section 1.7(c) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in the event of a change of the Exchange Ratio or otherwise, in no event will Parent be required to issue more than the Closing Shares or assume any options or warrants other than as set forth in Sections 1.12 or 5.4.

(c) Escrow. At Closing, Parent, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, shall deposit 2,609,830 shares out of the Closing Shares in escrow (the “Escrow Amount”), to be held by the escrow agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement (as hereafter defined). Each Company Stockholder shall be deemed to have contributed his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount to provide a source of funding to the Compensated Person for any Losses for which they are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Article VII. “Pro Rata Portion” of the Escrow Amount shall mean, with respect to each Company Stockholder, that portion of the Escrow Amount equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Closing Shares to be received by such Company Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.7(b) and the denominator of which is the total number of Closing Shares to be received by all Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.7(b).

1.8 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.

1.9 Exchange Procedure. (a) As promptly as practicable before or after the Effective Time, Parent (or its designee or exchange agent) will send to each Company Stockholder a letter of transmittal, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, for use in exchanging all Company Certificates registered in the name of such Company Stockholder for the Merger Consideration to which such Stockholder may be entitled as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon surrender by a Company Stockholder of all Company Certificates (or lost certificate affidavits) registered in the name of such Company Stockholder to Parent (or its designee), together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, such Company Stockholder will be entitled to receive, in exchange for all of such Company Certificates, the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Company Stockholder may be entitled (as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), and such Company Certificates will be canceled. It is intended that such letter of transmittal will contain provisions requiring each executing Stockholder thereof to, (i) make certain representations and warranties with respect to such executing Company Stockholder and the shares of Company Common Stock owned or held by such executing Company Stockholder, (ii) waive all appraisal or dissenters rights and (iii) deliver original Company Certificates (or an affidavit of loss and indemnity) together with blank stock powers and other instruments of transfer, in each case in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and as a condition precedent to Parent’s obligation to issue shares of Parent Common Stock to such Company Stockholder.

(b) Shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time. If any certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Company Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall deliver to Parent (or its designee or exchange agent) all documents necessary to evidence and effect such transfer and shall pay to Parent (or its designee or exchange agent) any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of Parent (or its designee or exchange agent) that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) After the Effective Time, Company Common Stock will cease to be, and holders of Company Common Stock will have no rights as, Company Stockholders, other than (i) in the case of shares other than Dissenting Shares, the rights to receive the Merger Consideration, as provided in this Agreement, and (ii) in the case of Dissenting Shares, the rights afforded to the holders thereof under Section 262 of the DGCL. Until surrendered for cancellation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.9, each Certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, represent (i) in the case of shares other than Dissenting Shares, the right of the applicable Company Stockholder to receive the Merger Consideration and (ii) in the case of Dissenting Shares, the rights afforded to the holders thereof under the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Neither Parent nor the Company nor any other person will be liable to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any shares, or any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar laws.

(d) No dividend or other distribution declared with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to holders of unsurrendered Company Certificates until such holders surrender such Company Certificates or comply with Section 1.9 hereof. Upon compliance with all of the provisions of this Article I, there shall be paid to such holders, promptly after such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time, and the amount of any portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and, in each case, not previously paid solely because of the failure to surrender such Company Certificates for exchange.

1.10 Cancellation of Shares. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock either held in the Company’s treasury or owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.2(e)) of Parent or the Company, shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

1.11 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article I (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares paid in respect thereof) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock under this Article I. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates are presented to Parent or Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.12 Company Stock Options and Warrants. At the Effective Time:

(a) 354,605 options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Options”) outstanding under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Company Incentive Plan”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.4, and converted into options of Parent as follows: 2,260,366 options at an exercise price of $2.57 per share and 244,437 options at an exercise price of $2.83 per share.

(b) 246,243 warrants (“Company Warrants”) to purchase shares of Company Capital Stock (as herein defined) then outstanding, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.4, and converted into warrants to acquire Parent Common Stock as follows: 1,402,571 warrants at an exercise price of $2.83 per share and 336,802 warrants at an exercise price of $2.12 per share.

1.13 Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.001 per share (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, par value $0.001 per share. From and after the Effective Time, each stock certificate of Merger Sub which previously represented shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence ownership of an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.14 Adjustments to Exchange Ratios. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted, at any time and from time to time, to fully reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including, without limitation, any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as the case may be), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or, if permitted by the terms of Section 4.1, Company Common Stock, as the case may be, occurring during the Interim Period (as defined in Section 4.1).

1.15 Dissenters Rights. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any “Person” (as defined in Section 13(a)(9) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), who (i) has not voted such shares in favor of adoption of this Agreement and the Merger; and (ii) properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but rather the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to payment of the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to seek appraisal under Section 262, then such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

1.16 No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Company Certificates for exchange, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Company Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive from Parent, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by the Closing Average. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Closing Average” shall be the average last reported closing trading price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest cent) on the OTC Bulletin Board for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.17 No Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or Representative shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any shares of Parent Common Stock or any amount of cash properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.18 The Representative.

(a) By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company Stockholders, each Company Stockholder (regardless of whether or not such Company Stockholder votes in favor of the adoption of the Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at a meeting or by written consent in lieu thereof) shall be deemed to have appointed, effective from and after the approval of the Merger, Representative to act as his, her or its representative and true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, in such holder’s name and on such holder’s behalf, under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in the absolute discretion of the Representative in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.18. This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred is irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any such holder, by operation of law or by any other event, except as expressly set forth herein. The Representative may resign and shall be discharged of his duties hereunder upon the appointment of a successor Representative as hereinafter provided. In case of such resignation, or in the event of death or inability to act of the Representative, a successor shall be named from among the holders of Company Common Stock or their designated representatives upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing. Any person or entity appointed to replace a former Representative shall execute a statement agreeing to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement. The appointment of a replacement Representative shall become effective upon delivery of such statement to Parent and the Surviving Corporation. Each successor Representative shall have all the power, authority, rights and privileges hereby conferred upon the original Representative, and the term “Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include such successor Representative.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Representative shall be authorized to: (i) take all actions required by, and exercise all rights granted to, the Representative in this Agreement and in the Escrow Agreement; (ii) receive all notices or other documents given or to be given to the Representative by Parent pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; (iii) negotiate, undertake, compromise, defend, resolve and settle any suit, proceeding or dispute under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; (iv) execute and deliver all agreements, certificates and documents required by the Representative in connection with any of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agremeent; (v) engage special counsel, accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and (vi) take such other action as is necessary on behalf of the Company Stockholders in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all such other matters as the Representative may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Representative shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certificate, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to investigate the validity, accuracy or content thereof, nor shall Representative be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

(c) By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company Stockholders, each Company Stockholder shall be deemed to have (i) released the Representative from, and agreed to indemnify the Representative against, liability for any action taken or not taken by the Representative in its capacity as such Representative, except for the liability of the Representative to a Company Stockholder for loss which such holder may suffer from fraud committed by the Representative in carrying out its duties hereunder, and (ii) appointed, as of such approval, the Representative as such Company Stockholder’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to enter into any agreement in connection with the Merger and the transactions by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, to exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on such Company Stockholder under any such agreement, to give and receive notices on such Company Stockholder’s behalf and to be such Company Stockholder’s exclusive representative with respect to any matter, suit, claim, action or proceeding arising with respect to any transaction contemplated by such agreement, including, without limitation, the defense, settlement or compromise of any claim, action or proceeding for which Parent or the Surviving Corporation may be entitled to indemnification. All actions, decisions and instructions of the Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Company Stockholders.

1.19 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time and from time to time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest in the Surviving Corporation full right, title and possession of all assets, properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be and are fully authorized and directed, in the name of and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, to take, or cause to be taken, all such lawful and necessary action as is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule provided by the Company to Parent on the date hereof and accepted in writing by Parent (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), the Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries represents and warrants to Parent that the statements contained in this Article II are true, complete and correct. The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this Article II. As used in this Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any change, event or effect that is materially adverse to the business, assets (including, without limitation, intangible assets), financial condition, results of operations or reasonably foreseeable prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that in no event shall any of the following be deemed, either alone or in combination, to constitute, nor shall any of the following be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (i) any effect that results from changes in general economic conditions or changes in securities markets in general, (ii) any effect that results from general changes in the industries in which the Company operates, (iii) any effect related to the public announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, (A) any actions of competitors, (B) any actions taken by or losses of employees or (C) any delays or cancellations of orders, (iv) any effect that results from any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement, or (v) any issue or condition otherwise known to the other party prior to the date of this Agreement. Whenever a representation or warranty made by the Company herein refers to the “knowledge of the Company,” or words to such effect, such knowledge shall be deemed to consist only of the actual knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, as well as any other knowledge which such executive officers would have possessed had they made reasonable inquiry of appropriate employees and agents of the Company with respect to the matter in question.

(b) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. The Company has delivered to Parent true, complete and correct copies of its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date.

(b) Each Subsidiary of the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate and tax good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to conduct business, and is in corporate and tax good standing in each jurisdiction as listed in Section 2.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which is a complete list of all such jurisdictions where the character of the properties and other assets owned, leased or operated by it, or the nature of its activities, makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each Subsidiary of the Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification. The Parent and its Subsidiaries, and their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees agents, successors and assigns (each, a “Compensated Person”) shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all debts, obligations and other liabilities (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, fixed or otherwise, or whether known or unknown, or due or to become due or otherwise), monetary damages, fines, fees, penalties, interest obligations, deficiencies, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, interest, court costs, costs of investigators, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and other experts, and other expenses of litigation) (“Losses”), incurred or suffered by the Compensated Person resulting from, relating to or constituting:

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or the failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement; or

(b) any Losses arising or resulting from the assertion of liability by any third party or parties based on the breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or the failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or from the assertion of liability by any third party regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Third Party Claims”). The Escrow Amount shall be available to reimburse the Compensated Persons for any Losses for which they are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.1.

7.2 Method of Asserting Claims.

(a) In the event that a Compensated Person shall become aware of any claim, proceeding or other matter (a “Claim”) in respect of which it shall be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, the Compensated Person shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Representative. Such notice shall specify with a reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available) (a) the factual basis for the Claim, and (b) the amount of the Claim, if known. With respect to any Claim other than a Third Party Claim, following receipt of notice from the Compensated Person of the Claim, the Representative shall have 20 days to make such investigation of the Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Compensated Person shall make available to the Representative the information relied upon by the Compensated Person to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other information as the Representative may reasonably request. If both parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such 20 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, the Representative shall immediately direct the Company Stockholders to pay to the Compensated Person the full agreed upon amount of the Claim.

(b) If a third party asserts that a Compensated Person is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Losses for which such Compensated Person may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, and such Compensated Person reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) such Compensated Person shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Representative, (ii) such Compensated Person may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) such Compensated Person shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, for any such Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII.

(c) The Compensated Person shall give prompt written notification to the Representative of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a Third Party Claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article VII may be sought. Within 10 days after delivery of such notification, the Representative may, upon written notice thereof to the Compensated Person, assume control of the defense of such action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Compensated Person, provided the Representative acknowledges in writing to the Compensated Person that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Compensated Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding constitute Losses for which the Compensated Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. If the Representative does not assume control of such defense within 10 days of the delivery of notice described above, the Compensated Person shall control such defense, the party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Representative assumes control of such defense and the Compensated Person reasonably concludes that the indemnifying parties and the Compensated Person have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Compensated Person shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Compensated Person shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Representative shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Compensated Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7.3 Survival; Limit on Indemnity. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be affected by any examination made for or on behalf of Parent or the knowledge of any of Parent’s officers, directors, investors (including ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and/or his affiliates), stockholders, employees or agents and shall expire on December 31, 2009. If a claim for indemnification is made before expiration of such periods, then (notwithstanding the expiration of such time period) the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement applicable to such claim shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of such claim. Company Stockholders shall not be liable for any Loss or Losses pursuant to Section 7.1 ("Parent Warranty Losses") unless and until the aggregate amount of all Parent Warranty Losses incurred by the Compensated Persons exceeds $250,000, in which event Company Stockholders shall be liable for all Parent Warranty Losses from the first dollar; provided that nothing contained in this Section 7.3 shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which Parent has, or might have, at law, in equity or otherwise, based on fraud or a willful misrepresentation or willful breach of warranty hereunder.

7.4 General. Except with respect to claims based on fraud or willful misrepresentation, the rights of the Compensated Persons under this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Compensated Persons with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company or the Company Stockholders contained in this Agreement and any and all Claims made pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied solely from the Escrow Amount. For purposes of this Article VII all representations and warranties of the Company and its subsidiaries set forth in Article II shall be construed as if the term “material” and any reference to “Company Material Adverse Effect” were omitted from such representations and warranties.
