Section 2.4 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation as set forth in the Certificate of Merger shall become the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.6 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities (each, a “Holder”):

Section 2.6.1 Shares of Common Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and thereafter represent one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation such that immediately following the Effective Time, Buyer will be the sole and exclusive owner of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.6.2 Shares of Company Stock. Each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, which shares shall be cancelled and extinguished without any payment being made in respect thereof, or any Company Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Closing Consideration and the Per Share Deferred Consideration.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt such procedures as it deems to be reasonably necessary to permit the holders of any outstanding Company Option to elect to either:

(i) if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as determined in accordance with the Company Option Plan is greater than the exercise price for one share of Common Stock under such Company Option, effect a net exercise of the vested portion of such Company Option and thereby receive the number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the vested portion of such Company Option determined by dividing: (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under such Company Option multiplied by the difference between: (1) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as determined in accordance with the Company Option Plan; and (2) the exercise price for one share of Common Stock under such Company Option; by (B) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as determined in accordance with the Company Option Plan (it being understood that for purposes of this clause (i), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be equal to the sum of the Per Share Closing Consideration plus the Per Share Deferred Consideration); or
(ii) exercise the vested portion of such Company Option in full by paying the Company the aggregate amount of the exercise price in cash;

provided, however, that any payments to a holder of Company Options shall be subject to all applicable withholding tax requirements; and provided further that adequate provision will be made for payment by the Shareholders to the Company of all applicable withholding taxes due thereto at the Effective Time.

Section 2.7.3 Delivery of Certificates. Upon surrender to Buyer or its designated representative of any Certificates for cancellation, together with a duly executed and completed Transmittal Letter, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, the Per Share Closing Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.6.2 of this Agreement, which shall be delivered within five (5) business days after such surrender by corporate check of Buyer to the address specified for such holder on the Closing Consideration Exhibit or otherwise by such holder in writing, or by wire transfer if specified in the Closing Consideration Exhibit or by such holder in writing, and the Per Share Deferred Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.6.2.

Section 2.7.4 Cancellation of Company Stock. Until surrendered, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Company Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Closing Consideration and the Per Share Deferred Consideration into which the Company Stock represented thereby shall have been converted in accordance with the terms and upon the conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.8 Payment of Deferred Consideration. Buyer shall pay accrued interest at the annual rate of three percent (3%) on the Holdback Amount (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) on each of the six (6), twelve (12), eighteen (18), twenty-four (24), thirty (30) and thirty-six (36) months anniversaries of the Closing Date. Buyer shall pay each Holder such Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the accrued interest, which shall be delivered by corporate check of Buyer to the address specified for such Holder on the Closing Consideration Exhibit or otherwise by such Holder in writing, or by wire transfer if specified in the Closing Consideration Exhibit or by such Holder in writing.

Section 2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Shares of Company Stock. The Per Share Closing Consideration and Per Share Deferred Consideration delivered upon the surrender for exchange of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the records of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, the Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.

Section 2.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.

Section 2.11 Closing Consideration Exhibit. Two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver to the Buyer a draft of the Closing Consideration Exhibit which sets forth the amount of Aggregate Consideration that would be paid to each Holder pursuant to this Article 2 based on assumptions set forth therein. At the Closing, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver to the Buyer the Closing Consideration Exhibit setting forth the final calculation of such amounts (including in such calculation provision for those amounts described in the second proviso in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.6.3 of this Agreement).

Section 2.12 Dissenting Shares. Any holder of shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which dissenters’ rights, if any, are available by reason of the Merger pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CCC who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who complies with Chapter 13 of the CCC (“Company Dissenting Shares”) shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Aggregate Consideration pursuant to this Article 2, unless such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses its dissenters’ rights under the CCC. Such holder shall be entitled to receive only such rights as are granted under Chapter 13 of the CCC. If any such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights under the CCC, such Company Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Aggregate Consideration to which such shares of Company Stock are entitled pursuant to this Article 2, without interest. The Company shall give Buyer prompt notice of any demands for appraisal pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CCC received by the Company, withdrawals of any such demands and any other documents or instruments received by the Company in connection therewith. Buyer shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Any payments made with respect to Company Dissenting Shares shall be made solely by the Surviving Corporation, and no funds or other property have been or shall be provided by Buyer, Merger Sub or any of Buyer’s Affiliates for such payment.

Section 2.13 Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of applicable Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority by Buyer, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of which Buyer made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.14 Closing Adjustment.

Section 2.14.1 Estimated Net Asset Adjustment. The Company shall deliver to Buyer, not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing, unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Company (the “Estimated Balance Sheet”) as of the most recent practicable month end immediately preceding the day of the Closing. The Estimated Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2004, and shall present fairly the financial position of the Company as of the date thereof, but shall exclude any provision for the aggregate exercise price of the Company Options to be paid pursuant to Section 2.6.3(ii). If the total assets less the total liabilities (the “Net Assets”), of the Company as set forth on the Estimated Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Net Assets”) is less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), the Aggregate Consideration shall be decreased by such deficiency.

Section 2.14.2 Preparation and Delivery of Closing Balance Sheet. Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholder Representative, not later than 90 days after the Closing, on both a consolidated and consolidating basis, a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Closing Balance Sheet Date”), prior to any purchase accounting adjustments (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2004 (provided that in the event of a conflict between GAAP and consistency, GAAP shall control), and shall present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, but shall exclude any provision for the aggregate exercise price of the Company Options paid pursuant to Section 2.6.3(ii). Based on the Closing Balance Sheet, Buyer shall also prepare statements of the Company’s Net Assets as of the Closing Balance Sheet Date (the “Closing Net Assets”). The Shareholder Representative shall cooperate with Buyer and its accountants in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet (including providing access to all necessary books and records and instructing the Company’s independent certified public accountants (the “Company’s Auditors”) to provide access to its work papers, management letters and relevant personnel used in preparation of any prior audits of the Company).

Section 2.14.3 Review of Closing Balance Sheet. Buyer will cooperate with the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholder Representative’s auditors and will ensure that the Shareholder Representative and the Company’s certified public accountants will be able to review the Closing Balance Sheet, and the statement of Closing Net Assets as soon as practicable after they are delivered to the Shareholder Representative and, in connection therewith, have full access to the personnel and records of the Company. Within 30 days following the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, and the statement of Closing Net Assets, the Shareholder Representative shall notify Buyer in writing of any objections that the Shareholder Representative may have to the Closing Balance Sheet, and the statement of Closing Net Assets, stating in reasonable detail the basis for any such objections (an “Objection Notice”); provided, that the only bases for objection shall be (i) non-compliance with the standards set forth in Section 2.14.2 for the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and (ii) computational errors. If the Shareholder Representative fails to deliver an Objection Notice to Buyer within such 30-day period, the Shareholder Representative will be deemed to have concurred with the Closing Balance Sheet, and the statement of Closing Net Assets.

Section 2.14.4 Dispute Resolution. If the Shareholder Representative timely delivers an Objection Notice to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.14.3, Buyer and the Shareholder Representative shall, together with their respective independent certified public accountants, promptly consult with each other in good faith and exercise reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve differences in their respective analyses of the Closing Balance Sheet, and the statement of Closing Net Assets, within ten days after the Shareholder Representative delivers the Objection Notice. Any matter not specifically referenced in the Objection Notice shall be conclusively deemed to have been agreed upon by the parties. If the parties are unable to resolve their differences within such ten-day period, the matter shall be promptly referred for arbitration to a third mutually satisfactory independent accounting firm which shall make its own determination of the matters in dispute within ten days after the matter is referred to it on the basis of the standards set forth above in Sections 2.14.1 and 2.14.2. The determination of such accounting firm will be final, binding and conclusive on the parties.

Section 2.14.5 Fees and Expenses. Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of its respective independent certified public accountants incurred in performing services pursuant to this Section. If a third accounting firm is selected to resolve differences between the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer in accordance with Section 2.14.4, the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses, including any retainers, of such firm in performing services pursuant to Section 2.14.4.

Section 2.14.6 Closing Net Asset Adjustment. Upon determination of the Closing Net Assets, as concurred with by the Shareholder Representative or as finally resolved in the manner set forth above, Buyer shall promptly pay to each Holder such Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the greater of (i) the excess, if any, of the Closing Net Assets over the Estimated Net Assets, and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Closing Net Assets over Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000); such payment, if any, shall be delivered by corporate check of Buyer to the address specified for such Holder on the Closing Consideration Exhibit or otherwise by such Holder in writing, or by wire transfer if specified in the Closing Consideration Exhibit or by such Holder in writing. If the Closing Net Assets, as concurred with by the Shareholder Representative or as finally resolved in the manner set forth above, is less than the Estimated Net Assets, then Buyer may offset, against the Holdback Amount, an amount equal to such difference.

From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof (and except with respect to the Merger), neither the Company nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, Affiliates or representatives will directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, encourage, initiate, entertain, substantively review or participate in any negotiations or discussions with respect to any offer or proposal (formal or informal, oral, written or otherwise) to acquire all or any part of the Company, whether by purchase of assets, exclusive license, joint venture formation, purchase of stock, business combination or otherwise (an “Acquisition Proposal”), (ii) disclose any information not customarily disclosed to any Person concerning the Company and which the Company believes would be used for the purposes of formulating any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) assist, cooperate with, facilitate or encourage any Person to make any Acquisition Proposal (directly or indirectly), (iv) agree to, enter into a contract regarding, approve, recommend or endorse any transaction involving any Acquisition Proposal, or (v) authorize or permit any of the Company’s representatives to take any such action.

If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, the board of directors of each of the Company, Buyer and Merger Sub shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Merger and such other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and otherwise act to eliminate the effects of any Takeover Statute on the Merger and any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 6.8 Further Assurances. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree, in each case both before and after the Closing, (i) to use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) to execute any documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out any of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and (iii) to cooperate, to the extent practicable, with each other in connection with the foregoing.

Section 6.9 Employee Matters.

Section 6.9.1 Following the Effective Time, Buyer shall enroll those current Company Business Employees who will be retained by the Surviving Corporation following the Closing (each a “Retained Company Employee”), to a degree no less favorable than as provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer, in Buyer’s “employee benefit plans” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or other plans, arrangements or agreements providing benefits to employees (or to any dependent or beneficiary thereof) of Buyer, including, without limitation, all incentive, bonus, deferred compensation, pension, vacation, holiday, cafeteria, medical, disability, stock purchase, stock option plans, policies, programs, practices or arrangements (each a “Buyer Benefit Plan”). The date of Buyer’s enrollment of Retained Company Employees in the Buyer Benefit Plans, if ever, may vary with respect to each Buyer Benefit Plan, but shall hereafter be referred to with respect to each Buyer Benefit Plan as the “Benefit Plan Enrollment Date.” During the period between the Effective Time and the Benefit Plan Enrollment Date, if any, for a Buyer Benefit Plan, each Retained Company Employee shall remain enrolled in the relevant Company Benefit Plans.

Section 6.9.2 Unless Buyer and the Company agree otherwise in writing, the Company shall terminate, effective at least two (2) days prior to the Closing Date, any Pension Plan which is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code (each such Pension Plan, a “401(k) Plan”). At the Closing, the Company shall provide Buyer (i) executed resolutions of the board of directors of the Company authorizing such termination and (ii) an executed amendment to each such 401(k) Plan intended to assure compliance with all applicable requirements of the Code and regulations thereunder.

Section 6.9.3 For purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting of benefits and, for purposes of vacation and severance benefits only, benefit accrual under any Buyer Benefit Plan, Buyer shall cause the Retained Company Employees to receive full credit for such employee’s service to the Company or any predecessors of the Company. In addition, Buyer will (a) provide credit for payments made towards co-payments and deductibles, and (b) to the extent permitted under the relevant Buyer Benefit Plan, waive pre-existing conditions and, with respect to HMO health plans, requirements of evidence of insurability under Buyer Benefit Plans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 6.9.3 shall not apply to the Buyer Flexible Spending Plan or the Buyer Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Section 6.9.4 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the termination of employment of any Retained Company Employee by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, subject to rights under any employment agreement (if any).

Section 6.10 Expenses. Within three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Buyer an itemized and complete list of all direct expenses of the Company incurred by the Company to date in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any amounts relating to any legal, accounting and any other transaction fees (collectively, “Company Transaction Expenses”). The Company shall pay the Company Transaction Expenses prior to the Closing.

For six (6) years following the Effective Time of the Merger, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the present and former officer, director, employee or agent of the Company as those contained in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of present and former officer, director, employee or agent of the Company.

Section 6.11.2 The provisions of this Section 6.11 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the present and former officer, director, employee or agent of the Company and their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on Buyer and the Surviving Corporation and its successors and assigns and (ii) shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. In the event Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or its successor or assign (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successor and assign of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, honor the obligations set forth with respect to Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, in this Section 6.11.

Section 6.11.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.11 shall not entitle any present or former officer, director, employee or agent of the Company to indemnification against a proceeding brought by a present or former shareholder of the Company as a result of such person’s breach his or her fiduciary duties to the Company or the shareholders of the Company, and provided further that such person shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company and the Surviving Corporation against any and all such liabilities resulting from or arising out of such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to advance expenses (as defined in Section 317(a) of the CCC) prior to the final disposition of such proceeding.

Section 6.12 Contracts. The Company shall use its best efforts to have each of the Contracts listed in Section 4.7 of the Company Disclosure Schedule fully executed and delivered by the parties thereto.

ARTICLE 7.
TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1 Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Shareholders, the Company and Buyer shall jointly make the election provided for by Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local or foreign Tax law) with respect to the acquisition of the Company stock hereunder pursuant to the Merger (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). With respect to the Section 338(h)(10) Election:

Section 7.1.1 The Shareholders shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax item resulting from the Section 338(h)(10) Election on their Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable law. The Shareholders shall also pay any Tax imposed on the Company attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, including (i) any Tax imposed under Code Section 1374, (ii) any Tax imposed under Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1(d)(5), or (iii) any state, local or foreign Tax imposed on the Company’s gain, and the Shareholder shall indemnify Buyer, the Company against any Losses arising out of any failure to pay any such Taxes.

Section 7.1.2 As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Shareholders, the Company and Buyer shall mutually prepare a Form 8023 (and any comparable forms for state, local or foreign Tax purposes) and cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate to timely file such form and to effect and preserve such Section 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 of the Treasury Regulations (or any comparable provisions of state and local tax law) or any successor provisions.

Section 7.1.3 As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholder Representative a schedule setting forth a preliminary allocation of the consideration among the assets of the Company that are deemed to have been acquired pursuant to the Section 338(h)(10) Election and a preliminary determination of the amounts required to be entered in Form 8883 (and any comparable forms for state, local or foreign Tax purposes). Such schedule shall be subject to the review and approval of the Shareholder Representative. In the event that the parties cannot agree on a mutually satisfactory schedule within 30 days after receipt of such schedule, a mutually selected independent accounting firm shall, at the Shareholders’ and Buyer’s joint expense, determine the appropriate schedule, which determination shall be binding on the parties. Upon approval by the Shareholder Representative (or a determination by a mutually selected independent accounting firm), Buyer shall cause a final Form 8883 reflecting such approved schedule to be completed and executed, the Shareholders shall cooperate in the preparation and execution of such form, and both the Buyer and the Shareholders shall use such final Form 8883 for purposes of preparing all applicable Tax Returns and shall not take any positions or otherwise act inconsistent with such final Form 8883 unless otherwise required by a final determination pursuant to Section 1313 of the Code.

Section 7.2 Tax Periods Ending on or before the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit the Shareholder Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Shareholder Representative. The Shareholders shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax items for such periods on their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1‘s furnished by the Company to the Shareholders for such periods. Other than Taxes described in the preceding sentence, which shall be paid directly by the Shareholders, the Shareholders shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within fifteen (15) days after payment by the Buyer or Company of any such Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes are both (i) reflected in the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (ii) taken into account in computing the purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.14.

Section 7.3 Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Shareholders shall reimburse Buyer for the portion of Taxes that relate to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date, except to the extent that such Taxes are both (i) reflected in the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet and (ii) taken into account in computing the purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.14. For purposes of determining the allocation of Taxes for Tax periods which begin before and end after the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.

Section 7.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer, the Company, the Shareholders Representative and the Shareholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer, the Company, the Shareholders Representative and the Shareholders agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing authority, (B) to deliver or make available to the other party, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, copies of all such books and records, and (C) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Buyer, the Company, the Shareholders Representative and the Shareholders, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records at such other party’s expense. Buyer and the Shareholders Representative further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

Section 7.5 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other substantially similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by the Shareholders when due, and the Shareholders will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The Shareholders shall (i) provide Buyer with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by the Shareholders and (ii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer at Closing with a clearance certificate or similar document(s) requested by Buyer at least five (5) Business Days before the Closing which may be required by any state taxing authority to relieve Buyer of any obligation to withhold any portion of the payments to the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.6 Characterization of Payments. Any payments made to any party pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 or any indemnity hereunder shall constitute an adjustment of the consideration paid for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the applicable parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by law.

Section 7.7 Carrybacks. The parties agree and acknowledge that (i) any net operating losses or similar Tax attribute of the Company is an asset of the Company that (subject to any applicable limitations imposed by Law) is being acquired by Buyer pursuant to the Merger and (ii) for periods ending after the Closing Date, the Company shall not elect to carryback any such Tax attributes to Tax periods of the Company ending on or prior to the Closing Date or otherwise act so as to limit the ability of Buyer to use such attributes subsequent to the Merger.

From and after the Closing Date, each of the Holders shall, severally in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares and not jointly, indemnify and hold Buyer, any of its Subsidiaries, or the Company, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, stockholders, agents and representatives (“Buyer Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, obligations, deficiencies, payments, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including the costs and expenses of any and all investigations, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, orders, settlements and compromises relating thereto, and reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, experts’ and other fees and expenses in connection therewith) resulting from, arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly, any of the following (“Losses”):

Section 10.2.1.1 Any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach or nonfulfillment of, any representation or warranty of the Company, or any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant of the Company, contained in this Agreement, in any schedule delivered hereunder by the Company, or in any certificates delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement;

Section 10.2.1.2 (i) any Taxes of any of the Company with respect to any Tax year or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or for any Tax year beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, to the extent allocable (as determined in the last sentence in Section 7.3) to the portion of such period beginning before and ending on the Closing Date), except to the extent that such Taxes are both (A) reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (B) taken into account in computing the purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.14, and (ii) the unpaid Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or successor of the Company, by contract, or otherwise.

Section 10.2.1.3 Any claims, causes of action, rights asserted or demands made by any third parties (including any Governmental Authority) arising from or relating to any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach or nonfulfillment of, any representation or warranty of the Company, or any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant of the Company, contained in this Agreement, in any schedule delivered hereunder by the Company, or in any certificates delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement;

Section 10.2.1.4 Any claims, causes of action, rights asserted or demands made under or with respect to any Employee Plan relating to events, acts or omissions occurring on or before the Closing Date, without regard to when any such claims, causes of action, rights asserted or demands are made; and

Section 10.2.1.5 Any claims by any Person other than the parties to this Agreement to any portion of the Aggregate Consideration or to any other amounts based thereon including, without limitation, in respect of Company Dissenting Shares.

Section 10.2.2 Insurance. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Buyer Indemnitee from third parties (including amounts actually recovered under insurance policies) with respect to such Losses. Any netting of insurance proceeds may be satisfied by the Buyer Indemnitee assigning any potential insurance claims to the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the indemnifying parties and, in any event, the potential availability of insurance proceeds shall not permit delay by the Shareholder Representative in the performance of its duties under this Section 10.2. Any indemnifying party hereunder shall be subrogated to the rights of the Buyer Indemnitee as against any relevant insurer upon payment in full of the amount of the relevant indemnifiable loss. If any Buyer Indemnitee recovers an amount from a third party in respect of an indemnifiable loss for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the full amount of such indemnifiable loss has been paid by an indemnifying party or after an indemnifying party has made a partial payment of such indemnifiable loss and the amount received from the third party exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of such indemnifiable loss, then the Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly remit to the indemnifying party the excess of (i) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by such indemnifying party in respect of such indemnifiable loss plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of such Losses.

Section 10.2.3 Offset; Waiver. For purposes of this Section 10.2:

Section 10.2.3.1 In the event that a Buyer Indemnitee wishes to make any indemnification claim under this Section 10.2, such Buyer Indemnitee shall, promptly after becoming aware of the event triggering its rights hereunder, provide written notice of such claim (an “Indemnification Notice”) to the Shareholder Representative. Any such notice shall, to the extent practicable, set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the claim and shall include a good faith determination of the estimated amount of the claim. Thereafter, the Shareholder Representative shall have twenty (20) Business Days following the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of the Indemnification Notice in which to deliver notice of objection to such claim to the Buyer Indemnitee. In case the Stockholder Representative delivers an objection notice in accordance with this Section 10.2.3.1, the Stockholder Representative and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after delivery of an objection notice, either Buyer or the Stockholder Representative may commence an action to resolve the matter unless the amount of the Loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event no action shall be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree that an action may be commenced. If no objection notice is given, then the claim in the amount alleged by the Buyer Indemnitee in the Indemnification Notice shall be deemed to be valid and indemnifiable pursuant hereto, and the Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to offset the full amount of such claim against the Holdback Amount. No offset shall be permitted if the relevant claim is timely disputed as set forth above, unless and until its validity is finally resolved. In the event that the Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to offset as a result of the final resolution of the validity of such claim, such Buyer Indemnitee shall provide written notice (the “Resolved Claim Notice”) of such offset to the Shareholder Representative. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Resolved Claim Notice, the Holdback Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such offset, which shall be forfeited to the Buyer and the Holders shall have no further claim thereon.

Section 10.2.3.2 The obligations of the Holders to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this Section 10.2 are personal to the Holder and are assumed in light of the consideration they are to receive at the Closing hereunder, and each Shareholder waives any rights and releases all Buyer Indemnitees from any claims or assertions of cross-indemnification or contribution from any Buyer Indemnitees, whether arising in law or in equity from and after the Closing, as a result of such Shareholder’s payment, coverage or assumption of any Losses incurred by Buyer or the Company pursuant to this Section 10.2, including any claims or contribution in respect of any attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by such Shareholder in defending against, or seeking contribution or recovery arising from, its, his or her indemnification obligations under this Section 10.2.

Section 10.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify and hold each of the Holders harmless from and against all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

Section 10.3.1 Any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach or nonfulfillment of, any representation or warranty of Buyer or Merger Sub, or any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant of Buyer or Merger Sub, contained in this Agreement, in any schedule delivered hereunder by Buyer or Merger Sub, or in any certificates delivered by Buyer or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement;

Section 10.3.2 Any claims, causes of action, rights asserted or demands made by any third parties (including any Governmental Authority) arising from or relating to any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach or nonfulfillment of, any representation or warranty of Buyer or Merger Sub, or any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant of Buyer or Merger Sub, contained in this Agreement, in any schedule delivered hereunder by Buyer or Merger Sub, or in any certificates delivered by Buyer or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement; and

Section 10.3.3 Any claims arising solely out of the conduct or operation of the Company Business after the Closing Date.

Section 10.4 Procedures for Third-Party Claims.

Section 10.4.1 Third-Party Claims. In order for a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 10.2 hereof in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Third-Party Claim promptly following receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, as promptly as practicable following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim that are not separately addressed to the indemnifying party.

Section 10.4.2 Assumption. If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. Should the indemnifying party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any reasonable legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense; provided that the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) if the parties to any such action or proceeding (including impleaded parties) include any of the Holders and representation of both parties would, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party, be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest or (ii) if the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel (other than counsel that is reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party) within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the institution of a Third-Party Claim in compliance with Section 10.4.1 hereof. The indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof, provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, all the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim, which releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim and that would not otherwise materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party.

Section 10.5 Termination of Indemnification Obligations. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any Person pursuant to Sections 10.2 and 10.3 hereof shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty or covenant terminates pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a bona fide claim by delivering a notice of such claim pursuant to Sections 10.2.2 or 10.4 hereof to the indemnifying party.

Section 10.6 Limitations on Indemnity; Maximum Liability.

Section 10.6.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement unless and until the aggregate of all Losses suffered by all Buyer Indemnitees under this Agreement exceeds $100,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), whereupon, provided that the other requirements of this Article 10 have been complied with, the amount of all such Losses, and all subsequent Losses, shall become due and payable.

Section 10.6.2 Except in the case of fraud or criminal activity, the aggregate liability of the Holders for money damages under this Agreement shall be limited to Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) (the “Indemnity Cap”) and each Holder’s several liability for money damages under this Agreement shall be limited to the product of (x) the Indemnity Cap multiplied by (y) such Holder’s Pro Rata Share. Except in the case of fraud or criminal activity: (i) in seeking indemnification under this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnitees shall first exercise their remedies with respect to the Holdback Amount; (ii) the Holders shall have no liability to the Buyer Indemnitees under this Agreement, except to the extent of the Indemnity Cap; and (iii) the remedies set forth in this Section 10 shall be the exclusive remedies of the Buyer Indemnitees under this Agreement against the Holders. Any Closing Net Asset adjustment pursuant to Section 2.14.6 of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be “money damages” for purposes of this Section 10.6.1. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, this Section 10.6.2 shall not apply to any liability resulting from or arising out of a breach by the Company of Section 4.2 hereof.

Section 10.7 Holdback. At the Closing, to provide funds for the satisfaction of any claims for indemnification made by Buyer pursuant to Article 10 of this Agreement and any Closing Net Asset adjustment pursuant to Section 2.14.6 of this Agreement, Buyer shall withhold Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Aggregate Consideration to which the Holders are entitled pursuant to Article 2, (collectively, “Holdback Amount”). On the third anniversary of the Effective Date, Buyer shall release the Holdback Amount, less any amounts (i) subject to pending or unsettled claims pending their settlement, (ii) previously forfeited to the Buyer pursuant to this Article 10 and (iii) previously forfeited to the Buyer as a result of a Closing Net Asset Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.14.6 of this Agreement. As soon as all such pending or unsettled claims have been resolved pursuant to this Article 10, Buyer shall promptly release any remaining portion of the Holdback Amount. Released funds shall be promptly paid to the Holders according to their Pro Rata Share by corporate check of Buyer to the address specified for such Holder on the Closing Consideration Exhibit or otherwise by such Holder in writing, or by wire transfer if specified in the Closing Consideration Exhibit or by such Holder in writing.

Section 10.8 Shareholder Representative.

Section 10.8.1 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is hereby appointed and constituted the “Shareholder Representative” under this Agreement, and as such shall serve as agent for and have all powers as attorney-in-fact of each Holder, for and on behalf of each Holder, to take the following actions in connection with the negotiation, settlement and compromise of indemnification claims pursuant to Article 10 of this Agreement and the release of the Holdback Amount in connection therewith: to give and receive notices of communications; to agree to, negotiate or enter into settlements and compromises of, and institute litigation and comply with orders of courts with respect to any disputes involving any claims made by Buyer or the Holders under this Agreement; to sign receipts, consents or other documents to effect any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements; and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative in connection with the foregoing.

Section 10.8.2 If the Shareholder Representative elects to resign as Shareholder Representative for any reason, the Shareholder Representative shall notify Buyer of his or her intent to resign, and the Holders shall, by written notice to Buyer, appoint a successor Shareholder Representative within five (5) Business Days thereafter.

Section 10.8.3 Notice or communications to or from the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Section 10.8 shall constitute notice to or from each of the Holders.

Section 10.8.4 A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Section 10.8 shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of each and all of the Holders, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each and all of the Holders, and Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and all of the Holders, and Buyer shall be relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by it in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction. The Shareholder Representative shall have reasonable access to information about the Surviving Corporation and Buyer and the reasonable assistance of the Surviving Corporation’s and Buyer’s officers and employees for purposes of performing his duties and exercising his rights under this Article 10, provided that the Shareholder Representative shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about the Surviving Corporation or Buyer to anyone (except on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially).

Section 10.8.5 The Shareholder Representative shall promptly notify each Holder in the event of any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Section 10.8. The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Shareholder Representative while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. Each Holder, jointly and severally, with right of contribution among them, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder Representative with respect to any claim, loss, damage and liability against such Shareholder Representative, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from any decision, act, consent or instruction of such Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Section 10.8, unless and to the extent that such claim arises from such Shareholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No bond shall be required of the Shareholder Representative, and the Shareholder Representative shall receive no compensation for services as such.

EXHIBIT C

Form of Key Employee Employment Agreement

FORM OF KEY EMPLOYEE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed on July 14, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) by and among CNET Networks, Inc. (“CNET”) and _______________ (the “Employee”). This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between CNET and Employee. If there are conflicting terms between this Agreement and terms in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among CNET, Cheese Acquisition Sub, Inc., Twofold Photos, Inc. (the “Acquired Company”) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as Shareholder Representative, dated simultaneous herewith (the “Merger Agreement”), the terms of this Agreement shall control.

1. Employment Date

Employee is required to deliver this Agreement as a condition to CNET’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The date on which Employee actually commences his employment at CNET shall be referred to as the “Employment Date.” This Agreement is contingent upon the closing of the Merger Agreement. If the closing does not occur, then this Agreement shall have no effect.

2. Term of Employment

(a) Employee agrees to remain employed under this Agreement for a period of at least one (1) year from the Employment Date (the “Minimum Term”), unless Employee’s employment is terminated earlier in accordance with this section. Following the Minimum Term, this Agreement will remain in effect on an “at-will” basis, i.e., either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time, without cause and without notice. In the event that Employee’s employment with CNET ceases prior to three (3) years from the Employment Date, Employee agrees to provide CNET, at CNET’s option, with consulting services through such date pursuant to CNET’s standard policies for independent contractors as then in effect.

(b) During the Minimum Term, Employee agrees that he will not resign from the Company without Good Reason, as defined in this Section 2(b). Employee will be deemed to have resigned without Good Reason if he resigns for any reason other than the following: (a) the Company materially breaches this Agreement; (b) a material (ten percent (10%) or greater) reduction by the Company in Employee’s base salary (other than a nondiscriminatory reduction affecting the Company’s employees generally); (c) the working conditions at the time of Employee’s resignation were so intolerable that a reasonable person in his position would have been compelled to resign and the Company either intentionally created or knowingly permitted such intolerable working conditions or (f) Employee’s job is relocated to a location outside of the San Francisco Bay Area (collectively, “Good Reason”). For purposes of this section, Employee’s death or permanent disability will not be considered a “resignation”.

(c) The Company may terminate Employee’s employment at any time with or without Cause, as defined in this Section 2 (c) and without notice, whether during or after the Minimum Term.

CNET NETWORKS ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY

In the event of any dispute arising out of or related to an employee's employment with CNET Networks, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries ("CNET"), or the termination thereof, in which the parties are unable to come to a resolution (excluding claims for workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, any matter within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Labor Commissioner or the National Labor Relations Board, or any other matter which may not lawfully be the subject of a mandatory arbitration agreement),*the employee and CNET agree to submit the dispute to final and binding arbitration pursuant to the then current National Rules For The Resolution Of Employment Disputes (the "Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (AAA); provided, however, that the cost of the arbitration borne by the employee will not exceed the cost to the employee if the dispute had been submitted to a court of law. Copies of the AAA Rules may be obtained from CNET's Human Resources Department or by visiting ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

A Request for Arbitration is initiated by submitting a request in writing to CNET's Human Resources Department or the AAA within the statute of limitations period which would apply if the employee had filed a complaint in a court of law. If the dispute involves a claim which CNET has against the employee, CNET must submit a written request to the AAA, with a copy to the employee, within the applicable statute of limitations.

The Request for Arbitration shall include a brief statement of the nature of the dispute; the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the parties; the amount in controversy; the remedy sought; and the requested hearing location.

Prior to selecting an arbitrator, CNET and the employee will submit their dispute to non-binding mediation. The cost of the mediation will be borne by CNET. If the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, the parties will request a panel of mediators from the AAA and will alternately strike names until one name remains.

The arbitrator selected by the parties is authorized to award any relief which could be awarded by a court of law hearing the same dispute. The arbitrator's award, which must be in writing, will be final and binding, except to the extent that judicial review is permitted by law.

Nothing in this Policy shall preclude either the employee or CNET from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief pending final resolution of the underlying dispute through arbitration.

Nothing in this Policy shall prevent an employee from filing claims of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and/or the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and having such claims investigated by either Agency.

This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the affected employee and the CEO of CNET.

If any provision of this Agreement is declared illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect. In such an event, the court is authorized to conform this Agreement to existing law. This Agreement constitutes a waiver of both parties' rights to a civil court action or a jury trial concerning matters covered by this Agreement; only an arbitrator, not a judge or jury, will decide the dispute.

D. In connection with the Merger, Named Individual will receive significant consideration in exchange for his shares of Twofold Common Stock.

E. Named Individual wishes to induce CNET to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

1. Covenant not to Compete. From the Effective Time until the third anniversary of the Effective Time (the "Goodwill Period"), Named Individual shall not, anywhere in the world, (i) engage or participate in, be employed by or assist in any manner or capacity, or have any interest in (except for ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any entity whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq national market system), any firm or business that competes with the business of Twofold or CNET as conducted during that period, provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to any business that, at the time Named Individual begins involvement with such business, does not compete with CNET based on the business then conducted by CNET or based on CNET's publicly announced plans, but which later becomes competitive with CNET due to subsequent actions by CNET; or (ii) interfere in any manner with the contractual or employment relationship between CNET or Twofold (or any successor thereto) and any of their employees, suppliers or customers.

2. Covenant not to Solicit. During the Goodwill Period, Named Individual shall not (i) directly or indirectly, employ or hire as an employee or as a consultant on his own behalf, or solicit for employment or consulting, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or enterprise, or otherwise encourage, solicit, induce or influence the resignation of, any individual who is an employee of, or consultant to, either CNET or Twofold (other than employees whose employment was terminated by CNET or Twofold).

3. Confidentiality. Named Individual understands and acknowledges that his service with Twofold has created a relationship of confidence and trust between him and Twofold with respect to (i) the confidential information of Twofold, including its Intellectual Property, and (ii) the confidential information of others with which Twofold has a business relationship. The information referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence is referred to in this Agreement, collectively, as "Confidential Information." At all times, after the date hereof, Named Individual will keep in confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of CNET, except as may be necessary to the extent required by applicable law or court order (in each case following notice to CNET).

4. Ownership of Inventions and Developments. Named Individual agrees that all Intellectual Property described below which he conceived, created or developed, in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others, prior to or during the term of his service with Twofold will be transferred to CNET in connection with the Merger. Named Individual hereby transfers and assigns to CNET any proprietary rights which he may have or acquire in any such Intellectual Property and further hereby waives any rights which he may have or accrue therein. Named Individual agrees to execute any documents and take any actions that may be required to effect and confirm such transfer and assignment and waiver. The provisions of this Section 4 will apply to all Intellectual Property which (i) were conceived, created or developed on Twofold time, (ii) were developed through the use of the Twofold Intellectual Property, equipment, software, or other facilities or resources, (iii) resulted from or related to any work performed for Twofold, whether or not during normal business hours, or (iv) related at the time of conception or development to the actual or demonstrably anticipated business of Twofold or to its actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development.

5. Goodwill. Named Individual agrees to speak favorably about and promote the Merger to the public and the Twofold employees, stockholders and customers.

Employee acknowledges that Twofold has an international presence and a global market and therefore has need of a worldwide geographic restriction. Named Individual agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to CNET or Twofold which might result from any breach by him of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, Named Individual agrees that if he breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, CNET shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to CNET or Twofold. Any claims asserted by Named Individual against Twofold or CNET shall not constitute a defense in any injunction action brought by CNET to obtain specific enforcement of this section.

Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Agreement, on and at all times after the Closing Date, each party to this Agreement shall and shall cause each of its affiliates to keep confidential, and not use or disclose to any other Person, any non-public document or other non-public information in such entities' possession that relates to the business of Twofold or CNET.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the internal laws of the State of California (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws).

11. Waiver. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

12. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented other than by means of a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of all of the parties hereto.

13. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b) The parties intend the release set forth above to cover all claims or possible claims, of whatever kind, whether the same are known or unknown or are later discovered or ascertained and expressly waive the provisions of section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN TO HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Each of the parties hereby represents and warrants to the other that it understands the effect of this waiver and said Civil Code section and that it represents that it has been advised on this Agreement, and the releases contained herein, by an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California.

(c) Reliance. Each Shareholder acknowledges that, in its decision to enter into this Release, it has not relied upon any representations, warranties, promises or agreements of any kind, including oral statements by representatives of the Releasees, except as set forth herein.
