SECTION 2.03 Procedures for Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall mail, or shall cause to be mailed: (A) to each Stockholder, a letter of transmittal, in customary form and reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (a “Letter of Transmittal”), specifying (1) that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such Stockholder’s Eligible Shares (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Surviving Corporation, and (2) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Stockholder’s Certificate(s) in exchange for payment pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(iii); (B) to each Optionholder, a Letter of Transmittal, which shall specify the instructions that each Optionholder must comply with prior to receiving payment pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(v); and (C) to each Warrantholder, a Letter of Transmittal, which shall specify the instructions that each Warrantholder must comply with prior to receiving payment pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(iv).

(ii) After the Closing, all payments to which a Security Holder (to the extent such Security Holder did not receive payment at Closing) is entitled pursuant to this Article II shall be made from the Exchange Fund by the Surviving Corporation upon (A) the surrender by a Stockholder to the Surviving Corporation of such Stockholder’s Certificate, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, (B) the delivery by an Optionholder to the Surviving Corporation of such Optionholder’s Letter of Transmittal and (iii) the delivery by a Warrantholder to the Surviving Corporation of such Warrantholder’s Letter of Transmittal.

(iii) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Eligible Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable payment for such Eligible Shares may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or similar Taxes required as a result of such payment or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.03, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, such Eligible Holder’s Pro Rata Portion of any payments to which an Eligible Holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(b) No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except as provided herein or by Law.

(c) Termination of Exchange Fund. Except as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Dissenting Shares, any portion of the Exchange Fund reflecting amounts with respect to Securities that remains undistributed to Security Holders for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any Security Holders who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain

-9-

liable for, payment of any amounts payable to such Person pursuant to this Agreement. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Security Holders as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(d) No Liability. None of the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Security Holder for any cash (including any dividends or distributions with respect to such Securities) delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Withholding Rights. Each of the Escrow Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Eligible Shares or Vested Company Stock Options or Company Warrants, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under all applicable Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and properly paid to the appropriate Tax authority by the Stockholders’ Representative, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Eligible Shares or Vested Company Stock Options or Company Warrants in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Escrow Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the agreement to provide a customary indemnity with respect to such lost Certificate, the Surviving Corporation shall pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the merger consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

At or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for any reason shall be canceled against delivery of the payments to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to this Article II.

SECTION 2.04 Determination of Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare a statement (the “Purchase Price Adjustment Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith computation of the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Cash and the Closing Indebtedness, and Parent shall deliver such statement to the Stockholders’ Representative, together with such schedules and data with respect to the determination thereof as may be appropriate to support the calculations

-10-

set forth in the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement. Following the delivery of the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement, the Surviving Corporation shall provide, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to the Stockholders’ Representative and its Representatives prompt and reasonable access to the Surviving Corporation’s auditors and accounting and other personnel and to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation and any other documents or information reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative and its Representatives (including the work papers of the Surviving Corporation’s auditors), in order to allow the Stockholders’ Representative and its Representatives to verify the accuracy of the computation set forth in the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement.

(b) If the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with the calculation of any of the items set forth in the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement, the Stockholders’ Representative shall notify Parent in writing of such disagreement (an “Objection Notice”) within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement by the Stockholders’ Representative. Any Objection Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and (ii) specify the line item or items in the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement with which the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees and the amount of each such line item or items as calculated by the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts included in the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.04(a) except such items that are specifically disputed in the Objection Notice. If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver an Objection Notice to Parent within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement by the Stockholders’ Representative, the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement shall be deemed final and binding on Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Security Holders for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice to the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement within 45 days following the receipt of such statement, then the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve their disagreement. Should such negotiations not result in an agreement within 30 days after delivery of an Objection Notice, the issues remaining in dispute shall be submitted to a neutral auditor mutually agreeable to the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent (the “Neutral Auditor”). If Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to agree upon a Neutral Auditor within such time period, then the Neutral Auditor shall be an accounting firm of national standing designated by the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York. The Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Neutral Auditor such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as they may deem necessary or appropriate or as the Neutral Auditor may request and that are available to that party or its agents. Further, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Neutral Auditor any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Neutral Auditor, provided, however, that no party shall have any discussions with the Neutral Auditor without first providing the other parties with notice of such discussions and a reasonable opportunity to attend, observe or otherwise participate in such discussions. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, performed by the Neutral Auditor will be borne equally by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative. The Neutral Auditor will deliver to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, as promptly as

-11-

practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after its appointment, a written determination (which determination shall include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and shall be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Auditor by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative or their respective Affiliates) of the disputed items. In resolving any disputed item, the Neutral Auditor: (i) shall be bound by the principles set forth in this Section 2.04 and (ii) shall limit its review to the line items and items specifically set forth in and properly raised in an Objection Notice. The Neutral Auditor’s determination shall be final and binding upon all of the parties to this Agreement and the Security Holders. Upon the agreement of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative or the decision of the Neutral Auditor, or if the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver an Objection Notice to Parent within the forty-five (45) day period provided in Section 2.04(b), the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement, as adjusted (if necessary) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall constitute the final Purchase Price Adjustment Statement for purposes of this Section 2.04 (the “Final Purchase Price Adjustment Statement”). The Working Capital, the Closing Cash and the Closing Indebtedness, each as shown on the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Statement, shall constitute the “Final Working Capital,” the “Final Closing Cash” and the “Final Closing Indebtedness”, respectively, for all purposes hereunder.

(d) If (i) (A) the sum of the Final Working Capital, plus the Final Closing Cash, minus (B) the Final Closing Indebtedness, exceeds (ii) (A) the sum of the Estimated Working Capital, plus the Estimated Closing Cash, minus (B) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, by an amount greater than zero (such amount, the “Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount”), then Parent shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a cash payment equal to the Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, for distribution to the Security Holders in accordance with Section 2.04(f).

(e) If (i) (A) the sum of the Estimated Working Capital, plus the Estimated Closing Cash, minus (B) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, exceeds (ii) (A) the sum of the Final Working Capital, plus the Final Closing Cash, minus (B) the Final Closing Indebtedness, by an amount greater than zero (such amount, the “Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount”), then Parent shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash out of the Holdback Fund in an amount equal to the Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a Joint Direction instructing the Escrow Agent to a make a payment to Parent in an amount equal to the Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount.

(f) As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of payment of the Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.04(d), if any, the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay:

(i) to each Stockholder, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time for which a Certificate (and the related Letter of Transmittal) has been properly surrendered, an amount equal to the Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount Per Share, if any;

(ii) to each Optionholder, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock underlying each of such Optionholder’s Vested Company Stock Options

-12-

(and for which a Letter of Transmittal has been delivered), an amount equal to the Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount Per Share, if any; and

(iii) to each Warrantholder with respect to each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Warrantholder’s Company Warrants (and for which a Letter of Transmittal has been delivered), an amount equal to the Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount Per Share, if any.

SECTION 2.05 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any stockholder who is entitled to demand and properly demands the appraisal for such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and in compliance in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the merger consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Any such stockholder shall instead be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such stockholder’s Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262; provided, however, that all Dissenting Shares held by any stockholder who shall have failed to perfect or who otherwise shall have withdrawn or lost such stockholder’s rights to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon, upon surrender in the manner provided in Section 2.03 of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares.

(b) The Company shall comply in all respects with Section 262 including, without limitation, subsection (d) thereof. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of its capital stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(c) Upon the final resolution of any appraisal procedure pursuant to Section 262 with respect to Dissenting Shares, to the extent that the fair value as finally determined pursuant to Section 262 is less than the consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation shall pay such excess amount to the other Security Holders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

(i) If either a Parent Indemnitee, on the one hand, or a Security Holder Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall have a claim for indemnification hereunder (each, as applicable, an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to, in the case of a Security Holder Indemnitee, Parent, and in the case of a Parent Indemnitee, the Stockholders’ Representative (each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, for purposes herein, an “Indemnifying Party”), describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that (A) a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; and (B) failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article IX shall be determined: (A) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (B) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (C) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

(iii) To the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, each party hereto or beneficiary of an indemnification payment made hereunder agrees to report each indemnification payment hereunder as an adjustment to the merger consideration paid by Parent hereunder for federal income tax purposes.

(b) Third Party Claims.

(i) Subject to Section 9.03(b)(ii), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing (but reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), the defense, compromise or settlement of any third Person claim, action or suit (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against any Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified Party hereunder, and in any such case the parties hereto shall cooperate in connection therewith and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith; provided, that (A) the Indemnifying Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such claim, action or

-49-

suit (including, without limitation, any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding related to Taxes) as to which the Indemnified Party has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof; and (B) the Indemnified Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), pay, compromise or settle any such claim, action or suit (including, without limitation, any audit, assessment, or adjustment related to Taxes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such claim, action or suit without such consent, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder.

(ii) If any Third Party Claim, action or suit against any Indemnified Party is solely for money damages or will have no material adverse effect on the reputation of Parent or the Surviving Corporation and does not involve a claim by a material Governmental Authority customer of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, then the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Security Holders hereunder, (and provided (i) that the Stockholder’s Representative acknowledges obligation of the Security Holders to provide indemnity for such Claim hereunder and (ii) such Third Party Claim does not (and is not reasonably expected to) exceed the Holdback Amount); shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense of any such Third Party Claim; provided further that (A) the Stockholders’ Representative shall not pay, settle or compromise any such claim, action or suit without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in connection therewith (at the Security Holders’ expense) and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection therewith; provided that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such claim, action or suit as to which the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Security Holders hereunder, has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such claim, action or suit, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless the Indemnified Party shall have sought the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative to such payment, settlement or compromise and such consent was unreasonably withheld, in which event no claim for indemnity therefor hereunder shall be waived.

(b) Any cash remaining in the Holdback Fund on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (minus the maximum aggregate amount of any claims asserted in accordance with this Article IX by the Parent Indemnitees against the Holdback Fund pursuant to Section 9.02(a) that are not fully resolved as of the first anniversary of the Closing Date (“Pending Claims”))

Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the Stockholders’ Representative is party to this Agreement solely for purposes of serving as the “Stockholders’ Representative” and that no claim shall be brought by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub against the Stockholders’ Representative with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions (other than any claim against the Stockholders’ Representative in its capacity as a Stockholder) (it being understood that any covenant or agreement that requires performance by the “parties” or a “party” at or prior to the Closing shall not be deemed to require performance by the Stockholders’ Representative unless performance by the Stockholders’ Representative is expressly provided for in such covenant or agreement).
