2.1. Exchange of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of holders of the capital stock of Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Stock Owned by Parent; Capital Stock of Merger Sub. All shares of capital stock owned by the Company as treasury stock and all shares of capital stock of the Company owned by Parent or Merger Sub shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and no stock of Parent or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, be converted into one share of common stock of

the Company. Such newly issued shares shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Each issued and outstanding share of the Company Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(a), shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as follows:

(i) Non-Contingent Consideration. On the Closing Date, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive in cash an amount equal (the “Per Share Closing Date Payment Amount”) to “Xm”, where:

[ Xm*S + S((Xm-Kn)*On) ] = T

For all n where Xm > Kn


Where:	Xm	=	Per Share Closing Date Payment Amount, as calculated pursuant to the spreadsheet attached as Schedule 2.1;

	T	=	Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) (the “Non-Contingent Consideration”);

	Kn	=	For any given Company Option, the exercise price of such Company Option (and where Kn is the exercise price for Company Option n), per Table 1 below; and

	On	=	Number of Company Options outstanding (and where On is the number of Company Options with an exercise price of Kn), per Table 1 below.


Kn	Strike Price	On	Options outstanding
K1	$7.00	O1	141,770

provided, that such payment shall only be payable if *** remains a customer of the Company as of February 15, 2006 pursuant to the agreement between *** and the Company in existence as of the date of this Agreement, as such may be amended with the prior consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If earned, the Customer Based Contingent Consideration shall be paid to the Representative on behalf of, and for distribution to, each Company Stockholder.

(B) Incremental Revenue Based Contingent Consideration. If Revenue received during the Revenue Based Contingent Consideration Payment Period (as defined hereinafter) exceeds the thresholds of *** (***), *** (***) and *** (***) (each a “Target Revenue Event”), calculated on a cumulative basis during the Revenue Based Contingent Consideration Payment Period, Parent shall pay (per share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date) to the Company Stockholders upon achievement of a Target Revenue Event an amount equal to “Xm” minus any per share consideration paid to date, where:

If earned, the Revenue Based Contingent Consideration shall be paid to the Representative on behalf of, and for distribution to, each Company Stockholder by no later than March 31 of the year following the fiscal year in which the Target Revenue Event occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, more than one Target Revenue Event may occur in any fiscal year, in which case the aggregate earned Incremental Revenue Based Contingent Consideration shall be paid the following fiscal year, and there shall be no more than three Target Revenue Events. As used herein, the term “Revenue Based Contingent Consideration Payment Period” shall mean the period of time commencing on the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) January 1, 2006, and ending on December 31, 2008.

(E) Contingent Payment Statements. Concurrently with the payment of any Contingent Payment, other than the Customer Based Contingent Consideration, Parent shall deliver a statement (each a “Contingent Payment Statement”) to the Representative setting forth the amount of the Contingent Payment and such reasonable detail required to support the calculation of the Contingent Payment. The Contingent Payment Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Chief Financial Officer of Parent certifying that the Contingent Payment was calculated by Parent in good faith and in accordance with GAAP, consistent with past practices of Parent, unless agreed otherwise under this Agreement. Within ten (10) days following delivery by Parent of the Contingent Payment Statement, the Representative may deliver to Parent a written notice of any objection thereto (a “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall contain a reasonably detailed statement of the basis of such objection. If a Dispute Notice is not delivered within such time period, the Contingent Payment Statement delivered by Parent shall be deemed final and binding on all parties. If a Dispute Notice is timely delivered, then the Representative and the Chief Financial Officer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements. If the Representative and the Chief Financial Officer of Parent are unable to resolve all such disagreements within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Dispute Notice, then the Representative and the Chief Financial Officer of Parent shall choose an independent certified public accountant mutually acceptable to both parties to conduct an audit of the Contingent Payment, the expense of which shall be paid by the Company Stockholders by reducing the Contingent Payment payable to such Company Stockholders; provided, however, that if the audit reveals that Parent miscalculated or otherwise misstated the

*** Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

(F) Contingent Payment by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) or more of the actual Contingent Payment, the expense of the audit shall be paid by Parent. The results of any such audit shall be final and binding on all parties.

(iii) Form and Payment of the Contingent Consideration. The Incremental Revenue Based Contingent Consideration, the Revenue Based Contingent Consideration and the Maintenance Based Contingent Consideration shall be payable at the sole discretion of Parent in either cash or Parent Common Stock, valued at the average of the closing prices of Parent Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market (the “NASDAQ NMS”) for the ten (10) trading days ending on the second (2^nd) day prior to the payment of such Contingent Payments; provided that all payments to holders of Company Options shall, pursuant to Section 2.4, be paid in cash.

(iv) Working Capital Deferral. The Customer Based Contingent Consideration shall be decreased on a dollar for dollar basis to the extent that the Working Capital of the Company on the Closing Date is less than (A) the product of (x) operating expenses for the most recent calendar month prior to the Closing (excluding Transaction Expenses and depreciation), calculated in accordance with GAAP, multiplied by three, and (y) four, less (B) $1,000,000 (the “Working Capital Deficit”); provided, however, that any such decrease shall be added to the first Incremental Revenue Based Contingent Consideration payment. Within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, the Representative shall deliver to Parent a balance sheet reflecting the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the close of business on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). Within thirty (30) days after Parent receives the Closing Balance Sheet, Parent shall deliver to the Representative a schedule setting forth its calculation of any adjustments to Working Capital (the “Working Capital Adjustments”), as calculated in accordance the definition herein (the “Working Capital Adjustments Schedule”), and, upon request, shall make available to the Representative all records and work papers used in preparing the Working Capital Adjustments Schedule. Such Working Capital Adjustments Schedule shall be prepared utilizing the Closing Balance Sheet, as adjusted to reflect such adjustments, if any, necessary to state the Closing Balance Sheet in accordance with the definition of Working Capital set forth herein. If the Representative disagrees with the computation of the Working Capital Adjustments shown on the Working Capital Adjustments Schedule, the Representative may, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Working Capital Adjustments Schedule, deliver a notice (an “Working Capital Objection Notice”) to Parent in writing. If the Representative does not deliver a Working Capital Objection Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, then the Working Capital Adjustments shall be deemed finally determined to be as set forth on the Working Capital Adjustments Schedule. Parent and the Representative will use reasonable best efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the computation of the Working Capital Adjustments, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within ten (10) days after Parent has received the Working Capital Objection Notice, Parent and the Representative shall jointly retain an independent accounting firm of national recognized standing to resolve any remaining disagreements. If Parent and the Representative are unable to agree on the choice of an accounting firm, then the accounting firm will be a “big-four” accounting firm (or a successor) selected by lot (after excluding one firm designated by Parent and one firm designated by the Representative). The expenses of the accounting firm shall be shared equally so that half of the expenses will be paid by Parent and half of the expenses shall be reduced from the Customer Based Contingent Consideration; provided, however, that Parent shall pay for all of the expenses of the accounting firm if Working Capital as determined by Parent is understated by more than ten percent (10%) of Working Capital as determined by the accounting firm, and that all of the expenses of the accounting firm shall reduce the Customer Based Contingent Consideration if Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet is overstated by more than ten percent (10%) of Working Capital as determined by the accounting firm. The accounting firm shall review the disputed items in the determination of

Working Capital Adjustments and shall render a report to Parent and the Representative as to its resolution of such items and the resulting calculation of the Working Capital Adjustments. The accounting firm shall resolve all accounting issues which are relevant to the determination of the Working Capital Adjustments. The determination made by the accounting firm shall be binding and conclusive on the parties hereto for all purposes under this Agreement. Parent and the Representative shall each use their best efforts to cause the accounting firm to deliver its completed report within thirty (30) days after the matter is submitted to the accounting firm for determination. In the event that any dispute over the Working Capital Deficit has been resolved prior to the time of the first Incremental Revenue Based Contingent Consideration payment, amounts due to the Company Stockholders based on such resolution shall be added to the first Incremental Revenue Based Contingent Consideration payment. Any amounts due to the Company Stockholders based on the resolution of a dispute over the Working Capital Deficit after the time of the first Incremental Revenue Based Contingent payment shall be made to the Representative within ten (10) days of resolution.

(c) Limit on Number of Shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event will Parent issue shares of Parent Common Stock to the extent that such issuance would require stockholder approval under applicable NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, as determined in the sole discretion of Parent or as directed by the NASDAQ NMS. To the extent the number of shares issuable to the Company stockholders is limited, Parent at its sole discretion shall either (i) seek stockholder approval, or (ii) pay the remaining portion of the Contingent Consideration in cash.

2.2. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective time that is held by any stockholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger, has perfected such holder’s right to an appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, as applicable, and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal (a “Dissenting Share”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the applicable provisions of the DGCL; provided, however, that any Dissenting Share held by a person at the Effective Time who shall, after the Effective Time, withdraw the demand for appraisal or lose the right of appraisal, in either case pursuant to the DGCL, shall be deemed to be converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b).

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any other instruments served pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, relating to the appraisal process received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL, with the participation of the Company. The Company will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal and will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, settle or offer to settle any such demands.

2.3. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued, but in lieu thereof each Company Stockholder, who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder), shall receive from Parent an amount of cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, times the average of the closing prices of Parent Common

Stock as reported on the NASDAQ NMS for the ten (10) trading days ending on the second (2nd) day prior to the payment of the Contingent Payment resulting in such fractional interest.

2.4. Treatment of Company Preferred Stock and Options.

(a) Company Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option shall, in accordance with the terms of such Company Option, become fully vested and exercisable upon consummation of the Merger and shall be converted into and shall become the right to receive, in full and complete satisfaction and cancellation thereof, one or more cash payments per Company Option, without interest, as set forth below. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of any option plan or agreement) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4. The Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that neither the Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall assume or continue any Company Options, or substitute any additional options for such Company Options. All payments to holders of Company Options pursuant to this Section 2.4 (collectively, “Option Payments”) shall be paid by Parent to the Representative on behalf of the holders of Company Options and the Representative shall be responsible for distributing such Option Payments to the holders of Company Options. Option Payments shall be determined and made on the Closing Date and each Contingent Payment Date, as applicable. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation to make the Option Payments shall be satisfied upon final and non-refundable payment to the Representative.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option, whether or not such Company Option has an exercise price that is greater than the Per Share Closing Date Payment, shall be converted into and shall become the right to receive one or more cash payments, each payment in an amount equal to the result of “Xm” minus Kn and minus the amount of any Option Payments made to date with respect to such Company Option if, and only if, Xm is greater than Kn, where:


[ XmS + S((Xm-Kn)On) ] = T

Where:	Xm	=	Amount paid per share of outstanding Company Stock to date inclusive of the current payment, as calculated pursuant to the spreadsheet attached as Schedule 2.1;

	S	=	the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time;

	T	=	The sum of all Merger Consideration (inclusive of the current payment) previously paid on account of all shares of Company Common Stock and all Company Options;

	Kn	=	For such Company Option, the exercise price of such Company Option (and where Kn is the exercise price for such Company Option n), per Table 1 above; and

	On	=	Number of Company Options outstanding (and where On is the number of Company Options with an exercise price of Kn), per Table 1 above.

(b) Company Preferred Stock. Each share of Company Preferred Stock shall be converted into Company Common Stock immediately prior to the closing.

(c) Merger Consideration Certificate. The capitalization of the Company, including outstanding Company Options and the terms thereof, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be set forth on a Merger Consideration certificate to be delivered by the Company to the Parent at Closing (the “Merger Consideration Certificate”). Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the Merger Consideration Certificate in connection with payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 and the Option Payments pursuant to Section 2.4. Should the actual number of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Options outstanding as of the Effective Time differ from that set forth on the Merger Consideration Certificate, the amount of Merger Consideration payable per share and the Option Payments shall be adjusted accordingly.

2.5. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Intentionally Omitted.

(b) Company Stock Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three business days), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (individually, a “Certificate” and collectively, the “Certificates”), and whose shares are to be exchanged pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass only upon delivery of the Certificates to Parent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to Parent, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with its terms, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Non-Contingent Consideration component of the Merger Consideration, the cash amount payable in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.3 and the Contingent Payments payable in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(ii), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In no event shall the holder of any Certificate be entitled to receive interest on any funds to be received in the Merger. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration and the cash amount payable in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.3, may be paid and issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Common Stock is presented to Parent accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.5(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time for all corporate purposes of Parent, except as limited by paragraph (c) below, to represent ownership of the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock shown thereon have been converted as contemplated by this Article 2.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. In the event Parent elects to pay any portion of the Contingent Payments in Parent Common Stock, no dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date on which such Contingent Payments are payable with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the date on which such Contingent Payments are payable shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.3 until the holder of record of such Certificate

shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.5. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date on or after the date on which such Contingent Payments are payable which theretofore became payable, but which were not paid by reason of the immediately preceding sentence, with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the date on which such Contingent Payments are payable but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. As of the Effective Time the Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Certificates previously representing any such Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the certificates representing such Company Common Stock, as contemplated hereby, or pursuant to Section 2.2. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Company Common Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has not entered into any agreement or understanding with, and is not engaging in any discussions with any third party concerning an Alternative Acquisition (as defined below) including, without limitation, any agreement or understanding that would require the Company to notify any third party of the terms of this Agreement. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) initiate, solicit, encourage, negotiate, accept or discuss any transaction or series of transactions with any Person, other than Parent and its Affiliates involving any recapitalization, restructuring, financing, merger, consolidation, sale, license or encumbrance or other business combination transaction or extraordinary corporate transaction of the Company which would or could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or materially delay the Merger (any such efforts by any such Person, including a firm proposal to make such an acquisition, to be referred to as an “Alternative Acquisition”), (b) provide information with respect to the Company to any Person, other than Parent and its Affiliates, relating to a possible Alternative Acquisition by any Person, other than Parent and its Affiliates, (c) enter into an agreement with any Person, other than Parent and its Affiliates, providing for a possible Alternative Acquisition, or (d) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any possible Alternative Acquisition by any Person, other than by Parent and its Affiliates.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a) or anything to the contrary that may be contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if, prior to obtaining approval of the Company Stockholders, (x) the Company or any of its representatives, receives a written proposal regarding an Alternative Acquisition (an “Acquisition Proposal”) from any person, which Acquisition Proposal did not result

from a breach of Section 5.3(a) and appears on its face to be bona fide, (y) the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, and (z) the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that such action is necessary in order for its directors to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then, subject to its compliance with this Section 5.3 and after giving notice to Parent, the Company or its representatives may (i) furnish information with respect to the Company to the person who has made such Acquisition Proposal, or any of its representatives, pursuant to a confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that such information has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such person or its representatives, and (ii) participate in discussions and negotiations with such person regarding such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall advise Parent orally and in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (in each case within twenty four hours of receipt thereof), specifying the specific terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (as the case may be) and the Company shall promptly provide to Parent a copy of all written materials provided to the Company in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal not later than twenty four hours after the receipt of same by the Company and, in order to be able to do so, the Company agrees that it will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any person subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent. The Company shall notify Parent (within twenty four hours) orally and in writing of any material modifications to the financial or other material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and shall provide to Parent, within that same timeframe, a copy of all written materials subsequently provided to or by the Company in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, modify or amend, or propose to withdraw, modify or amend, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation or resolve to do so; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Board of Directors may withdraw, or modify or amend in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, but may not terminate its efforts to hold a Company Stockholder meeting or to obtain Company Stockholder consent, in the event that the Company receives a Superior Proposal which did not result from a breach of Section 5.3(a) or (b) and the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such action is necessary in order for the Company’s Board of Directors to comply with their respective fiduciary obligations under applicable Law; provided, further, that no such change of the Company Board Recommendation may be made until after at least 72 hours following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising that the Company’s Board of Directors intends to take such action and the basis therefor. In determining whether to make a change of the Company Board Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal, the Company’s Board of Directors shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent or any other information provided by Parent in response to such notice.

5.4. Access. The Company shall afford to Parent, and to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives of Parent, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to all of the Company’s properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel, customers and records and, during such period, the Company shall furnish promptly to Parent, (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other documents filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and (b) all other information concerning its business,

properties, customers and personnel as Parent or its representatives may reasonably request. Except to the extent otherwise required by Law, Parent will hold any confidential information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.4 in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement entered into between the Parent and the Company dated April 12, 2005 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). In addition, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for meetings between Parent and representatives of the Prospective Customers.

5.5. Company Employees. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent to ensure that employees selected by Parent will become employees of Parent.

5.6. Cooperation. The Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by Parent or the Company, in connection with the filing of any of the Company’s tax returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to the Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation by the Representative shall include the retention of records and information not otherwise in the possession of the Company, if any, which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and providing additional information and explanation regarding any such material provided hereunder. To the extent not otherwise in the possession of the Company, the Representative shall retain any books and records with respect to Company tax matters relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. In addition, the Representative shall deliver to Parent all information relating to the Company Stockholders which may be required to be reported by parent or its paying agent to any Tax authority pursuant to Section 6043A of the Code, or any similar provision of Law, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 6

COVENANTS OF PARENT

6.1. Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

6.2. Company Employees.

(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent or an Affiliate of Parent shall offer employment to such employees of the Company employed as of the Closing (individually a “Company Employee” and collectively, the “Company Employees”) as the Parent shall determine in its sole discretion. Any such offer of employment shall be on such terms and conditions substantially similar to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent.

(b) Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be construed to impose upon Parent and its Affiliates any obligation to continue the employment of any Company Employee following the Effective Time.

(c) All Company Employees who accept employment with Parent shall continue in the Company’s existing benefit plans, other than the Company’s 401k Plan, until such time as, in Parent’s reasonable discretion, an orderly transition can be accomplished to employee benefit plans and programs maintained by Parent for its employees in the United States. Parent shall take such reasonable actions, to the extent permitted by Parent’s benefits programs, as are necessary to allow eligible employees of the Company to participate in the health, welfare and other benefit programs of

Parent or alternative benefits programs in the aggregate that are substantially equivalent to those applicable to employees of Parent in similar functions and positions on similar terms (it being understood that equity incentive plans are not considered employee benefits). Pending such action, Parent shall maintain the effectiveness of the Company’s benefit plans. To the extent that Parent transitions Company Employees from the Company’s benefit plans to employee benefit plans and programs maintained by Parent or alternative benefits programs, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall grant all employees of the Company credit for all service (to the same extent as service with Parent is taken into account with respect to similarly situated employees of Parent) with the Company prior to the Effective Time for (i) eligibility and vesting purposes and (ii) for purposes of vacation accrual after the Effective Time as if such service with the Company was service with Parent. Parent and the Company agree that where applicable with respect to any welfare benefit plan, including without limitation medical or dental benefit plans, of Parent, Parent shall waive any pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements (provided, however, that no such waiver shall apply to a pre-existing condition of any Company Employee who was, as of the Effective Time, excluded from participation in a plan maintained by the Company by virtue of such pre-existing condition) and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any of Parent’s group health plans to the extent permitted by such plans. Parent shall provide that any covered expenses incurred on or before the Effective Time by the Company Employees or such employees’ covered dependents shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Effective Time to the same extent as such expenses are taken into account for the benefit of similarly situated employees of Parent, and to the extent permitted under the applicable plan.

6.3. Indemnification by Parent. After the Effective Time, and for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each person serving as a director of the Company and each person serving as an officer of the Company with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such person is entitled to indemnification under the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as limited by Delaware law. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.3 (the “Director Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to Parent promptly after such Director Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought, and Parent shall, upon written notice given reasonably promptly following receipt of notice from the Director Indemnified Party of such claim, be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its expense with counsel chosen by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Director Indemnified Party; provided that the Director Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and provided further that if counsel reasonably determines that its representation of both Parent and the Director Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if Parent fails to assume the defense of such claim, the Director Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent and defend it in any such action and Parent shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel. Parent shall not be required to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of more than one separate law firm in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. The failure of any Director Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve Parent of its obligations under this Section 6.3, provided that if such failure materially increases the amount of indemnification that Parent is obligated to pay under this Section 6.3, the amount of indemnification which the Director Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive shall be reduced to an amount which the Director Indemnified Person would have been entitled to receive had such notice been timely given. Parent, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall not, except with the consent of each Director Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Director Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

6.4. Conduct of Business. From and after the Closing, and during the Revenue Based Contingent Consideration Period, Parent shall operate the Business in a commercially reasonable manner. In addition, Parent shall not take any action, or actions, for the sole purpose of reducing either the Revenue Based Contingent Consideration or Maintenance Based Contingent Consideration, including but not limited to any action to accelerate or defer any Revenue, or Maintenance Revenue, or to recharacterize or allocate any revenue in order to reduce Revenue or Maintenance Revenue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Parent from taking any action or failing to take any action which Parent’s Board of Directors determines to be in the best interests of the Parent and its stockholders if, and only if the failure to take such action or not take such action could reasonably be determined to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of Parent’s Board of Directors.

6.5. Recordkeeping; Audit and Access

(a) Reports. No later than 45 days after the close of each fiscal quarter of Parent, Parent shall deliver to the Representative a report showing the determination of Revenue for such fiscal quarter in sufficient detail to permit the Representative to confirm such determination. At the time of the payment of each Contingent Payment, Parent shall deliver to the Representative a report showing the determination and calculation of the Contingent Payment in sufficient detail to permit the Representative to confirm the calculation of the amount of Contingent Payment due.

(b) Records and Access. Parent shall keep for at least three (3) years from the date of each Contingent Payment complete and accurate records of Revenues of Products, in sufficient detail to allow the Contingent Payment to be determined accurately. The Representative shall have the right to appoint an independent certified public accountant or other financial accounting expert reasonably acceptable to Parent to inspect the relevant records of Parent and its Affiliates to verify such report or statement. Parent and its Affiliates shall each make its records available for inspection by such independent certified public accountant during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from the Representative, solely to verify the accuracy of the reports and payments. Such inspection right shall not be exercised more than once in any calendar year nor more than once with respect to any Contingent Payment in accordance with the process set forth in Section 2.1(b)(ii)(E). The Representative agrees to hold in strict confidence all information concerning Revenues, and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary for the Representative to reveal such information in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by law. The results of each inspection, if any, shall be binding on Parent and the Representative. The costs of any such inspection other than pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii)(E) shall be borne by the Company Stockholders by reducing the applicable Contingent Payment, provided, however, that if the inspection reveals that Parent miscalculated or otherwise misstated any Contingent Payment by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) or more of the actual Contingent Payment, the expense of the audit shall be paid by Parent.

6.6. Relationship with ***. Until the payment of the Customer Based Contingent Consideration, (i) Parent will not terminate the relationship with *** other than for breach of the agreement between *** and the Surviving Corporation and (ii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation will in good faith perform their obligations under such agreement.

*** Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

ARTICLE 7

COVENANTS OF PARENT AND THE COMPANY

7.1. Notices of Certain Events. The Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other party of:

(a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(b) any notice or other communication from any governmental or regulatory agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be disclosed pursuant to Articles 3 or 4 or that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other development that would cause any representation or warranty made by a party hereunder to be untrue or inaccurate at or prior to the Effective Time; and

(d) any failure by a party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement.

Delivery of notice pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall not limit or otherwise affect remedies available to either party hereunder.

7.2. Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or other public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and except as may be required by applicable Law as advised by counsel, will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

7.3. Reasonable Efforts. The parties further agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (A) the obtaining of all other necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, licenses, permits, authorizations, orders and approvals from governmental authorities and the making of all other necessary registrations and filings, (B) the obtaining of all consents, approvals or waivers from third parties related to or required in connection with the Merger that are necessary to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or required to prevent a Material Adverse Effect on the Company from occurring prior to or after the Effective Time, (C) the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the parties’ obligations hereunder, and (D) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 7.3 shall limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, so long as such party has up to then complied with its obligations under this Section 7.3.

7.4. Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall accrue all expenses incurred by it, on or prior to the Closing, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, on the Company’s Closing Balance Sheet. All fees and expenses incurred by the Parent and Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Parent. Fees and expenses incurred by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall include, without limitation, fees and expenses incurred for legal, financial, accounting and other advisors.

7.5. Registration.

(a) Demand Registration. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period and after the date on which Parent pays any portion of the Contingent Payments in shares of Parent Common Stock, any Registrable Securities shall not have been registered by Parent, then the Representative shall on behalf of the Company Stockholders have the right by delivery of written notice to Parent, to request that Parent effect a registration on Form S-3 covering the resale of the Registrable Securities to the extent issued; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to effect any such registration (i) during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to Parent’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Parent-initiated registration; provided that Parent is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, or (ii) (A) if Parent is engaged in any material activity which, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of Parent, based on the advice of counsel, would be required to be disclosed in connection with such registration, and such disclosure would adversely affect such material activity to the material detriment of Parent, and (B) Parent shall furnish to Representative a certificate signed by the President of Parent stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, it would be seriously detrimental to Parent for such registration statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, then Parent shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of Representative, and, provided further, that Parent shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve-month period. The date on which Parent receives such notice is referred to herein as the “Demand Date.” In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable and/or inappropriate for such a registration of all the Registrable Securities, Parent shall use such other form or forms as are available and appropriate for such a registration, subject to the consent of the Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Filing and Effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Parent will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a Registration Statement registering all of the Registrable Securities requested by Representative pursuant to Section 7.5(a) for resale within 30 days after the Demand Date (the “Filing Date”) and to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after filing, and in any event no later than the 90th day after the Demand Date (the “Required Effective Date”). However, so long as the Company filed the applicable Registration Statement by the Filing Date, (a) if the SEC takes the position that registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities by Representative is not available under applicable laws, rules and regulation and that Parent must register the offering of the Registrable Securities as a primary offering by Parent, or (b) if a Registration Statement receives SEC review, then the Required Effective Date will be the 120th day after the Demand Date. In the case of an SEC response described in clause (a), Parent will, within 40 business days after the date Parent receives such SEC response (the “Primary Offering Filing Date”), file a Registration Statement as a primary offering. Parent’s best efforts will include, but not be limited to, promptly responding to all comments received from the staff of the SEC. If Parent receives notification from the SEC that any Registration Statement will receive no

action or review from the SEC, then Parent will file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act and cause such Registration Statement to become effective within five business days after such SEC notification. Once a Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, Parent will cause such Registration Statement to remain effective throughout the Registration Period. If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date (provided, however, that if a Company Stockholder fails to provide Parent with any information that is required to be provided in the Registration Statement with respect to such Company Stockholder, then the Filing Date shall be extended until five (5) business days following the date of receipt by Parent of such required information, or (ii) Parent fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five (5) business days of the date that Parent is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review, or (iii) the Registration Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Required Effective Date, or (iv) after the Registration Statement is first declared effective by the SEC, it ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective during the Registration Period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for the purposes (i), (iii) and (iv) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) business day period is exceeded, being referred to as an “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights the Company Stockholders may have hereunder or under applicable law: (x) on each such Event Date Parent shall pay to each Company Stockholder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% of the value of the Registrable Securities then held by such Company Stockholder and not then transferable pursuant to the Registration Statement; and (y) on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, Parent shall pay to each Company Stockholder an amount in case, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% of the value of the Registrable Securities then held by such Company Stockholder and not then transferable pursuant to the Registration Statement. If Parent fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 7.5(b) in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, Parent will pay interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Company Stockholder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 7.5(b) shall be the exclusive remedy of the Company Stockholders for a breach of Section 7.5(a) or (b) and that they constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may incurred by the Company Stockholders by reason of the failure of Parent to file or cause to be declared effective the Registration Statement, or by reason of inability to offer and sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, in accordance to the provisions hereof.

(c) Incidental Registration. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period and after the date on which Parent pays any portion of the Contingent Payments in shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public (other than pursuant to Section 7.5(b)), whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to Registration Statements on Forms ▇-▇, ▇-▇ or any successor to such forms or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public), each such time it will promptly give written notice to all Company Stockholders of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of any such Company Stockholder, received by Parent within 30 days after the giving of any such notice by Parent, to register any or all of its Registrable Securities, Parent will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the Registration Statement proposed to be filed by Parent, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or

other disposition by the Company Stockholder (in accordance with its written request) of such Registrable Securities so registered. If the registration of which Parent gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, Parent shall so advise the holders of Registrable Securities as a part of the written notice given pursuant to this Section 7.5(c). In such event the right of any holder of Registrable Securities to registration pursuant to this Section 7.5(c) shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting to the extent provided herein. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with Parent and the other Parent stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.5(c), if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, such limitation will be imposed pro rata with respect to all securities whose holders have a contractual, incidental (“piggy back”) right to include such securities in the Registration Statement and as to which inclusion has been requested pursuant to such right. Parent shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of Registrable Securities with respect to which such holder has requested inclusion hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Parent may withdraw any Registration Statement referred to in this Section 7.5(c) without thereby incurring any liability to the holders of Registrable Securities. If any holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to Parent and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

(d) Review by the Representative. The Representative covenants and agrees that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts provide to Parent on a timely basis such consents, representations and information from the Company Stockholders as may reasonably be required by Parent in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement or related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Parent will, prior to filing a Registration Statement or related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to the Representative copies of such Registration Statement and prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto as proposed to be filed, together with exhibits thereto, which documents will be subject to review and approval by the Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(e) Expenses. Parent shall pay all expenses of registration of any shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(b), except brokerage commissions, legal expenses, and such other expenses as may be required by law to be paid by the Company Stockholders, which commissions and expenses shall be paid by the party by which such expenses are incurred.

(f) Notification. Parent will promptly notify the Representative upon the occurrence of any of the following events in respect of a Registration Statement or related prospectus: (i) receipt of any request for additional information by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any related prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of the shares of Parent Common Stock registered pursuant to Section 7.5(a) for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that

requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related prospectus or documents so that (or Parent otherwise becomes aware of any statement included in the Registration Statement, related prospectus or documents that is untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related prospectus or documents so that), in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the related prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) Parent’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate (in which event Parent will promptly make available to the Representative any such supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement and, as applicable, the related prospectus).

(g) Indemnification. In the event that any shares of Parent Common Stock are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

(i) To the extent permitted by law, Parent will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Company Stockholder that holds such shares of Parent Common Stock, and agents, employees, attorneys, accountants, underwriters (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Company Stockholder and any directors or officers of such Company Stockholder or such underwriter and any person who controls such Company Stockholder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Company Stockholder Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (collectively, and together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, any post-effective amendment thereof or any prospectus included therein: (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus (as it may be amended or supplemented) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (c) any violation or alleged violation by Parent of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other law, including without limitation any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder (the matters in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) being, collectively, “Violations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7.5(f)(i) does not apply to a Claim by a Company Stockholder Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Parent by such Company Stockholder Indemnified Person expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and (ii) does not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is made without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnity obligation will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of a Company Stockholder Indemnified Person and will survive the transfer of the shares of Parent Common Stock by the Company Stockholders under Section 7.5(g) of this Agreement.

(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Company Stockholder is participating, each such Company Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 7.5(f)(i) above, Parent, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each a “Parent Indemnified Person”) against any Claim to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Parent by such Company Stockholder expressly for use in such Registration Statement. However, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.5(f)(ii) does not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Company Stockholder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and no Company Stockholder will be liable under this Agreement for the amount of any Claim that exceeds the net proceeds actually received by such Company Stockholder as a result of the sale of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of a Parent Indemnified Person and will survive the transfer of the shares of Parent Common Stock by the Company Stockholders under Section 7.5(g) of this Agreement.

(iii) If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any person entitled to indemnity under Sections 7.5(f)(i) or 7.5(f)(ii) hereof (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(iv) An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an

unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on Claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(h) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights set forth in this Section 7.5, may be assigned by the Company Stockholders to transferees or assignees of all or any portion of the shares of Parent Common Stock, but only if (a) the Company Stockholder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to Parent within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) Parent is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) after such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (d) at or before the time Parent received the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with Parent to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, and (e) the transferee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.

(i) Additional Requirements. Until termination of the Registration Statement, Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and file on a timely basis with the SEC all information that it may be required to file under either of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, so long as it is required to file such information, use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the availability of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor exemptive rule hereinafter in effect) with respect to shares of Parent common stock.

7.6. Required Approvals.

(a) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and approvals of Governmental Authorities and other Persons required to be obtained in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, taking all required actions relating to the HSR Act as set forth in Section 7.6(b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed to by the parties, no party will have any obligation to pay any material fee to any third party (not including filing or other fees payable to Governmental Authorities) for the purpose of obtaining any consents or approvals.

(b) Each party (i) shall cooperate with the other parties and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file required Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than ten (10) business days from and after the date hereof); (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act; (iii) agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate with the FTC, the DOJ and/or any other Governmental Authority in respect of such filings to prevent the issuance of any requests for additional information, documents or other materials under the HSR Act; provided, that, (x) if such a request is about to be issued notwithstanding the parties’ efforts, the parties shall discuss the withdrawal and refiling of the filings to avoid the issuance of such a request and to enable the parties to continue to attempt to resolve the issues raised by any Governmental Authority in connection with the filings without the need to respond to any such request, and each of the parties shall have the option of withdrawal and refiling, and that, (y) if any such requests are nonetheless issued, to seek modification of same and comply at the earliest

practicable date with respect thereto, as modified; and (iv) shall act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other party in connection with any such filing and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any such agency or other Governmental Authority under any Antitrust Laws with respect to any such filing or any such transaction. To the extent not prohibited by Law, each party to this Agreement shall use reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Company and Parent shall give the other reasonable prior notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Governmental Authority regarding any such filings or any such transaction. Neither the Company, on the one hand, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall independently participate in any meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry without giving Parent or the Company, as the case may be, prior notice of the meeting and discussing with Parent or the Company, as the case may be, the advisability of Parent’s or the Company’s representatives, as the case may be, participating in such meeting or conversation. Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.6 shall require, or be construed to require, Parent to proffer to, or agree to, sell or hold separate and agree to sell, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or interest in any assets or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their Affiliates (or consent to any sale, or agreement to sell, by the Company of any of their assets or businesses) or agree to any material changes or restrictions in the operations of any such assets or businesses.

(c) Each party shall bear its own costs for filing and other fees payable to Governmental Authorities, except for the filing fee under the HSR Act, which the parties agree to share equally. On the filing date of the Notification under the HSR Act by Parent, the Company shall deliver payment in immediately available funds to Parent for one half of the filing fee.

7.7. Change of Control of Parent. If, during the Revenue Based Contingent Consideration Payment Period, Parent proposes to enter into a Change of Control, such Change Control shall be conditioned upon the successor organization agreeing to undertake the obligations of Parent under this Agreement.

10.6. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other rights. Except as otherwise provided hereunder, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

10.7. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.8. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the

original intent of the parties as closely as possible, in a mutually acceptable manner, to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

10.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule together with the Transaction Documents and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the certificates referenced herein) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings both oral and written, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

10.11. Parties In Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including, without limitation, by way of subrogation.

10.12. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California as applied to contracts that are executed and performed in California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
