AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of April 7, 2006 (the “Agreement Date”), by and among Red Hat, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), DaVinci-Matterhorn, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Matterhorn-DaVinci, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger LLC”), JBoss, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, an individual, solely for the purpose of acknowledging his appointment as the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 6.6.

RECITALS

A. Parent, Merger Sub, Merger LLC and the Company intend to effect a merger (the “Merger”) of the Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with this Agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), with the Company to be the surviving corporation of the Merger, which Merger will be followed, as soon as reasonably practicable, by a merger of the Surviving Corporation (as defined below) with and into Merger LLC (the “Upstream Merger”). It is intended that the Merger be mutually interdependent with and a condition precedent to the Upstream Merger and that the Upstream Merger shall, through the binding commitment evidenced by Section 4.17, be effected as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (as defined below) without further approval, authorization or direction from or by any of the parties hereto.

B. The Company Board has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement, the Merger, the Escrow Agreement and the other Transactions (excluding the Upstream Merger) and (iii) recommended that the Stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and approve the Merger.

C. The Boards of Directors of Parent and Merger Sub have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

D. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger and the Upstream Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.

E. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain Stockholders have entered into Stockholder Agreements, dated as of the Agreement Date, pursuant to which such Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of, or consent in writing to, the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger. The parties intend that, as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, certain Stockholders will execute written consents approving the Charter Amendment, this Agreement and the Merger.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place, unless another place or date is agreed to by Parent and the Company, at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as promptly as practicable, but no later than three Business Days, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), provided, that in the event that the conditions set forth in Article V (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) are satisfied on or after the 15^th day of a calendar month, the Closing will take place on the last Business Day of such calendar month. The date upon which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a properly executed Certificate of Merger satisfying the requirements of the DGCL in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of such filing being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all rights and property of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts and liabilities of the Company and Merger Sub shall become debts and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in the Certificate of Merger until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Law and such Certificate of Incorporation.

-2-

(b) At the Effective Time, the By-Laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended to change all references to the name of the Merger Sub to refer to the name of the Surviving Corporation, and, as so amended, such By-Laws shall be the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended.

1.5 Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the director(s) of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the director(s) of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Merger Consideration; Effect on Capital Shares; Escrow.

(a) Allocation Certificate. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate (the “Allocation Certificate”) of the Company signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying, in each case as of the Closing, (A) the identity of each record holder of Company Common Shares (other than Company Restricted Stock) and the number of Company Common Shares held by each such Stockholder; (B) the identity of each record holder of Company Preferred Shares and the number of Company Preferred Shares held by each such Stockholder; (C) the identity of each record holder of a Participating Stock Right, the number and type of Company Capital Shares covered by such Participating Stock Rights held by such holder, the exercise prices and vesting schedules thereof, the number and type of Company Capital Shares subject to each such Participating Stock Right that will be exercisable as of the Closing, and whether such Participating Stock Right is intended to be qualified as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code; (D) the identity of each record holder of Company Restricted Stock, the number of Company Common Shares held by such Stockholder and the vesting schedules thereof; (E) the address of record of each holder of Company Capital Shares, each holder of Participating Stock Rights and each holder of Company Restricted Stock; (F) the Merger Consideration and Escrow Amount allocable to each such holder; and (G) the amounts required to be deducted and withheld (other than in respect of backup withholding) from the consideration otherwise payable to each such holder with respect to the payments or any other Tax withholding obligation in respect of the Merger or the exercise or settlement of any Company Stock Right or the vesting of restricted stock under the Code or any other Tax Law, which Allocation Certificate when approved by Parent shall be deemed the definitive allocation of Merger Consideration among the Participating Holders in accordance with the Merger and the disbursements thereof, including with respect to the Escrow Amount. In the event of a Closing Indebtedness Payment or that Parent elects to pay cash in lieu of shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.6, in completing the Allocation Certificate the parties may, by mutual written agreement, make adjustments in the Allocation Certificate to the extent necessary to achieve the intent of the conversion formulas set forth in this Section 1.6.

-3-

(b) Merger Consideration. Subject to Section 1.6(c), the aggregate consideration to be paid by Parent to the Participating Holders in connection with the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) shall be payable in cash and in shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) as set forth in this Section 1.6. The Merger Consideration is subject to adjustment after the Closing as set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Escrow. At the Closing, Parent, on behalf of the Participating Holders on a Pro Rata Basis, shall deposit with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”), cash in the amount of $43.0 million. The Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”) and shall be released in accordance with the terms thereof. The parties to this Agreement intend that all cash payments of the Merger Consideration that are treated under the Code as payments in exchange for Company Capital Shares (and not as compensation), including the portion of the Escrow Amount and the contingent consideration described in Section 1.10 so treated, shall qualify for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with such intention.

(d) Effect on Company Capital Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, Merger LLC, the Company or the Stockholders:

(i) Each Company Common Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Company Common Share owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; and

(ii) Each Company Preferred Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the Certificate therefor and a Letter of Transmittal with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement and subject to Section 1.6(c), the Per Share Preferred Consideration; provided that, subject to Section 1.6(g), Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay to any holder of Company Preferred Shares that does not deliver, at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire demonstrating, in the sole judgment of Parent, that such holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, in lieu of the shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Per Share Preferred Consideration, an amount in cash, for each such share of Parent Common Stock, equal to the Parent Average Closing Price; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of cash that each holder of Company Preferred Shares shall have the right to receive in respect of all such shares held by such holder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Cash Reduction Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the Closing Indebtedness Payment; and provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) the amount of cash that each holder of Company Preferred Shares (other than a holder of Company Preferred Shares entitled to receive, after the exercise of Parent’s right under the first proviso of this clause (ii), Merger Consideration consisting solely of cash in respect of the

-4-

Company Preferred Shares held by such holder), shall have the right to receive in respect of all such shares held by such holder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Securities Payment Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the Securities Payment and (y) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that each such holder of Company Preferred Shares shall have the right to receive in respect of all such shares held by such holder shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Securities Payment Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the quotient of (I) the Securities Payment divided by (II) the Parent Average Closing Price.

(iii) Each Company Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Company Common Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(d)(i) and any Company Restricted Stock) shall be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the Certificate therefor and a Letter of Transmittal with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement and subject to Section 1.6(c), (A) the Per Share Common Consideration, (B) subject to Section 1.10, the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, (C) subject to Section 1.10, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and (D) subject to Section 1.10, the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out; provided that, subject to Section 1.6(g), Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay to any holder of Company Common Shares that does not deliver, at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire demonstrating, in the sole judgment of Parent, that such holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, in lieu of all or a portion of the shares of Parent Common Stock included in the consideration to be received by such holder, an amount in cash, for each such share of Parent Common Stock, equal to the Parent Average Closing Price or, in the case of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable as the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out or the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out (such number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be determined in accordance with Section 1.10 and such defined terms based on the Parent Average Closing Price), equal to the average of the closing prices of Parent Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days up to and including the trading day that is two (2) trading days prior to the date of payment; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of cash that each holder of Company Common Shares shall have the right to receive in respect of all such shares held by such holder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Cash Reduction Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the Closing Indebtedness Payment; and provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) the amount of cash that each holder of Company Common Shares (other than a holder of Company Common Shares entitled to receive, after the exercise of Parent’s right under the first proviso of this clause (iii), Merger Consideration consisting solely of cash in respect of the Company Common Shares held by such holder), shall have the right to receive in respect of all such shares held by such holder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Securities Payment Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the Securities Payment and (y) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that each such holder of Company Common Shares shall have the right to receive in respect of all such shares held by such holder shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Securities Payment Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the quotient of (I) the Securities Payment divided by (II) the Parent Average Closing Price; and

-5-

(iv) Each share of Company Restricted Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the Certificate therefor and a Letter of Transmittal with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, a corresponding number of shares of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Restricted Stock”) under the Company Equity Incentive Plan to be assumed by Parent, which number of shares of Parent Restricted Stock shall be equal to the quotient of (A) the Per Share Unvested Option Consideration divided by (B) the Parent Average Closing Price; provided that, subject to Section 1.6(g), Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay to any holder of Company Restricted Stock that does not deliver, at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire demonstrating, in the sole judgment of Parent, that such holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, in lieu of all or a portion of the shares of Parent Common Stock included in the consideration to be received by such holder, an amount in cash, for each such share of Parent Common Stock, equal to the Parent Average Closing Price; provided further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the corresponding number of shares of Parent Restricted Stock that each share of Company Restricted Stock shall be converted into shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Per Share Unvested Option Deduction or, in the event that Parent shall exercise its right pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso to pay cash to such holder in lieu of shares of Parent Common Stock, the amount of cash payable in respect of each share of Parent Common Stock shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Per Share Unvested Option Deduction and (2) the Parent Average Closing Price. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable stock restriction agreement, no additional acceleration of the vesting of the Company Restricted Stock shall take place as a result of the consummation of the Merger, and the vesting terms of the Parent Restricted Stock shall be identical to the vesting terms of the Company Restricted Stock. The shares of Parent Restricted Stock issued in respect of such shares of Company Restricted Stock will be subject to the same vesting and other purchase, repurchase and redemption restrictions to which such shares of Company Restricted Stock are subject, and the certificates representing shares of Parent Restricted Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. In all other respects, the Parent Restricted Stock will be governed by the terms of the Company Equity Incentive Plan to be assumed by Parent and the applicable restricted stock agreement. Promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, Parent will mail to such holder, at the record address provided by the Company, a notice describing the conversion described herein.

(e) Company Stock Rights. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, Merger LLC, the Company, the Stockholders or the holders of Company Stock Rights, the following will occur:

(i) Each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is not then vested or will not vest upon the completion of the Merger (each, an “Unvested Company Option”) and the Company Equity Incentive Plan will be assumed by Parent. Immediately after the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option shall be deemed to constitute an option (a “Parent Option”) to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as set forth in this sentence), such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the product of (1) the quotient of (x) the Per Share Unvested Option Consideration divided by (y) the

-6-

Parent Average Closing Price multiplied by (2) the number of Company Common Shares subject to the corresponding Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Option shall be reduced by a number of shares equal to the product of (x) the Per Share Unvested Option Deduction multiplied by (y) the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Option after giving effect to this Section 1.6(e)(i) (other than this proviso). The per share exercise price of any such Parent Option shall be equal to the product of (1) the quotient of (x) the Parent Average Closing Price divided by (y) the Per Share Unvested Option Consideration multiplied by (2) the per share exercise price of the corresponding Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that if the number of shares subject to such Parent Option is decreased pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then the per share exercise price of each Parent Option shall be increased so that it is equal to the product of (x) the quotient of (I) the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Option after giving effect to this Section 1.6(e)(i) (other than the immediately preceding proviso) divided by (II) the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Option after giving effect to this Section 1.6(e)(i) (including the immediately preceding proviso) multiplied by (y) the exercise price for such Parent Option calculated in accordance with this sentence (prior to giving effect to this proviso). Except as otherwise provided in the individual grant agreements related to the Unvested Company Options, (i) no acceleration of the vesting of the Unvested Company Options shall take place as a result of the consummation of the Merger, and (ii) the vesting terms and the expiration dates of the Parent Options shall be identical to the vesting terms and expiration dates of the Company Options. Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days, the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to Parent Options will be covered by a registration statement under the Securities Act. Promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, Parent will mail to each holder of an Unvested Company Option, at the record address provided by the Company, a notice describing the assumption of such Unvested Company Option hereunder.

(ii) Each Company Option that is not an Unvested Company Option (each, a “Vested Company Option”), to the extent unexercised as of the Effective Time, shall thereafter no longer be exercisable but shall be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the option agreement therefor (or agreement from the holder that such Vested Company Option shall represent only the right to receive the consideration described in this Section 1.6(e)(ii)) and subject to Section 1.6(g), (A) the Per Share Vested Option Consideration, (B) subject to Section 1.10, the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, (C) subject to Section 1.10, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and (D) subject to Section 1.10, the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out, in the case of clauses (B), (C) and (D), at the same time, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions under which the holders of Company Common Stock receive shares of Parent Common Stock and cash pursuant to Section 1.10; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of cash that each holder of a Vested Company Option shall have the right to receive in respect of such option held by such holder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Cash Reduction Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the Closing Indebtedness Payment; and provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) the amount of cash that each holder of a Vested Company Option shall have the right to receive in respect of all such options held by such holder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Securities Payment

-7-

Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the Securities Payment and (y) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that each such holder of a Vested Company Option shall have the right to receive in respect of all such options held by such holder shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Securities Payment Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the quotient of (I) the Securities Payment divided by (II) the Parent Average Closing Price. Promptly after the Closing, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, Parent shall mail to the Participating Holders of Vested Company Options in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, and cash constituting the aggregate Per Share Vested Option Consideration to which such Participating Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 1.6(e)(ii) (less the cash proceeds to be deposited with the Escrow Agent on such Participating Holder’s behalf pursuant to Section 1.6(c) and any applicable withholding Taxes) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 1.6(h).

(iii) Each Company Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive, upon surrender of the warrant agreement or instrument therefor (or agreement from the holder that such Company Warrant shall represent only the right to receive the consideration described in this Section 1.6(e)(iii)) and a Letter of Transmittal with respect thereto and subject to Section 1.6(c), (1) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the amount by which (A) the product of (x) the number of Company Preferred Shares subject to such Company Warrant and (y) the quotient of (i) 40% of the Preferred Consideration divided by (ii) the total number of Company Preferred Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming the issuance of all Company Preferred Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of Company Stock Rights), exceeds (B) the product of (x) the number of Company Preferred Shares subject to such Company Warrant and (y) the exercise price of such Company Warrant, and (2) such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Preferred Shares subject to such Company Warrant and (B) the quotient of (x) the Per Share Preferred Stock Value divided by (y) the total number of Company Preferred Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming the issuance of all Company Preferred Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of Company Stock Rights); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of cash that each holder of a Company Warrant shall have the right to receive in respect of such warrant shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Cash Reduction Percentage in respect of such holder multiplied by (2) the Closing Indebtedness Payment; and provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) the amount of cash that each holder of a Company Warrant shall have the right to receive in respect of all such warrants held by such holder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the Pro Rata Securities Payment Percentage multiplied by (2) the Securities Payment and (y) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that each such holder of a Company Warrant shall have the right to receive in respect of all such warrants held by such holder shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (1) Pro Rata Securities Payment Percentage multiplied by (2) the quotient of (I) the Securities Payment divided by (II) the Parent Average Closing Price.

(f) NASDAQ Matters. In the event that the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock hereunder would require the approval of the stockholders of Parent under Rule 4350(i)(1) of the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Parent

-8-

shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay to any holder of Company Capital Shares, any holder of a Company Warrant and any holder of a Vested Company Option, in lieu of any shares of Parent Common Stock payable to such holder under this Section 1.6, an amount in cash, for each share of Parent Common Stock, equal to the Parent Average Closing Price or, in the case of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable as the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out or the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out (such number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be determined in accordance with Section 1.10 and such defined terms based on the Parent Average Closing Price), equal to the average of the closing prices of Parent Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days up to and including the trading day that is two (2) trading days prior to the date of payment. In the event that Parent determines to pay cash in lieu of shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 1.6(f), Parent shall provide written notice to the Company at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Unaccredited Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent shall not have the right to pay cash in lieu of Parent Common Stock to any holder of Company Preferred Shares, Company Common Shares or Company Restricted Stock in accordance with the first provisos included in Sections 1.6(d)(ii), 1.6(d)(iii) and 1.6(d)(iv) above unless more than thirty (30) Participating Holders fail to furnish a completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire to Parent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, demonstrating, in the sole judgment of Parent, that they are an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. If there are more than thirty (30) such Participating Holders, Parent shall not exercise its right to pay cash in lieu of Parent Common Stock with respect to the thirty (30) of such holders who are otherwise entitled to receive the greatest number of shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.6. In the event that Parent determines to pay cash in lieu of shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the first provisos included in Sections 1.6(d)(ii), 1.6(d)(iii) and 1.6(d)(iv), Parent shall provide written notice to the Company at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date.

(h) No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued on the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Participating Holder entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.6 that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Company Capital Shares, Company Warrants and Company Options held by such Participating Holder) shall, upon surrender of such Participating Holder’s Certificates or the cancellation of such Participating Holder’s Company Options or Company Warrants, as the case may be, receive, in lieu of a fraction of a share, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock, multiplied by (ii) the Parent Average Closing Price.

(i) Withholding Rights; Deductions from Consideration. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to any Person under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreements (i) such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or any other Tax withholding

-9-

obligation with respect to the Merger, the Upstream Merger or any other Transaction or the exercise or settlement of any Company Stock Right or the vesting of restricted stock under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law and (ii) the amount of any outstanding loans (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts in respect thereof) owed by such Person to the Company as of the Closing. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent, Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(j) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Shares. The amounts paid or payable upon the surrender for exchange of Company Capital Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Capital Shares 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 Article I.

(k) Capital Shares of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(l) Adjustments to Parent Common Stock. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable as contingent consideration under Section 1.10 shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares or other similar change in capitalization or event occurring after the Effective Time.

(m) Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate consideration payable by Parent to the Participating Holders hereunder exceed the sum of (1) $421.0 million plus (2) the aggregate exercise price of all Unvested Company Options issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time plus (3) the Closing Working Capital Surplus, if any, less (4) the Closing Working Capital Shortfall, if any, less (5) the amount of Closing Indebtedness Payment (assuming for this purpose that the value of each share of Parent Common Stock issuable hereunder to the Participating Holders is the Parent Average Closing Price), and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.

1.7 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Company Capital Shares held by a Stockholder who demands and perfects appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively

-10-

withdrawn or lost such appraisal rights (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares), shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the DGCL.

(b) If any Stockholder who holds Dissenting Shares as of the Effective Time effectively withdraws or loses (through passage of time, failure to demand or perfect, or otherwise) the right to demand and perfect appraisal rights under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares that were Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to and subject to Section 1.6 without interest thereon upon surrender of the certificate therefor and a Letter of Transmittal with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal of any Company Capital Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments or notices served pursuant to the DGCL on the Company or that otherwise relate to such demands received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to 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, voluntarily make or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal under the DGCL, or offer to settle any such matters.

1.8 Surrender of Certificates and Company Warrants.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate Mellon Investor Services, LLC or, if not Mellon Investor Services, LLC, then a United States bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.8 certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable and cash included in the Merger Consideration payable at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.6 in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Capital Shares and Participating Stock Rights (other than holders of Vested Company Options); provided, however, that, on behalf of the Participating Holders, Parent shall deposit the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 1.6(c) and the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Agreement Date and in any event not less than five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date, Parent will deliver to the Company for distribution to each Participating Holder (other than holders of Vested Company Options) (i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery of the Certificates and Company Warrants held by such Participating Holder shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such Certificates and Company Warrants shall pass, only upon delivery of such original Certificates and Company Warrants to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Company Warrants held by such Participating Holder in exchange for certificates representing

-11-

shares of Parent Common Stock and the cash portion of the Merger Consideration payable therefor and (iii) an Accredited Investor Questionnaire. The Letter of Transmittal shall indicate that applicable withholding Taxes with respect to the vesting of Company Restricted Stock will be withheld from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to each Participating Holder who receives a payment upon the conversion of Company Restricted Stock, and that other amounts may be withheld from any such Participating Holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If a Participating Holder delivers to the Exchange Agent a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and a duly completed and executed Accredited Investor Questionnaire, together with the surrender of the Certificates and Company Warrants held by such Participating Holder for cancellation, on the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall transmit to such Participating Holder promptly after the Closing Date, and in any event within four (4) Business Days after the Closing Date, in exchange therefor, a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and cash constituting the aggregate Per Share Preferred Consideration or Per Share Common Consideration, as the case may be, to which such Participating Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6 (less the cash proceeds to be deposited with the Escrow Agent on such Participating Holder’s behalf pursuant to Section 1.6(c))) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 1.6(h), and the Certificates and Company Warrants so surrendered shall be canceled. Otherwise, the applicable Merger Consideration shall be transmitted by the Exchange Agent to the holder of such Certificates and Company Warrants as promptly as practicable, and in any event within four (4) Business Days following the surrender of the Certificates and Company Warrants held by such Participating Holder, a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal with respect thereto and a duly completed and executed Accredited Investor Questionnaire. Any payment of cash to a Participating Holder hereunder shall be so made by (i) wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as may be designated by such Participating Holder, if such payment to be made to such Participating Holder is equal to or greater than $1,000,000, or (ii) by check, if such payment is less than $1,000,000. Following the Effective Time, until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate and Company Warrant that, prior to the Effective Time, represented Company Capital Shares or the right to purchase Company Capital Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence only the right to receive that portion of Merger Consideration to which such Participating Holder is entitled in accordance with this Article I.

(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange therefor until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.8. Subject to applicable Law, 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, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock. No interest shall be payable on any cash deliverable upon the exchange of any Company Capital Stock for cash.

(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, none of the Exchange Agent, the Parent, the Merger LLC, the Surviving Corporation or any

-12-

other party hereto shall be liable for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Company Warrant shall not have been surrendered prior to one year after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares or any dividends or distributions payable to the holder of such Certificate or Company Warrant pursuant to this Article I would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such Merger Consideration or cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Company Warrant shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates or Company Warrants. In the event any Certificates or Company Warrants to be surrendered in accordance with Section 1.8(b) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall deem such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates or Company Warrants surrendered for purposes of Section 1.8(b), upon the receipt of an affidavit of that fact, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, by the holder thereof pursuant to which such holder would agree to indemnify Parent and its Affiliates against any claim that may be made against Parent or its Affiliates with respect to the Certificates or Company Warrants alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) Termination of Exchange Agent Fund. Any portion of the consideration held by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 1.8 which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Capital Shares and Participating Stock Rights for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Company Capital Shares or Participating Stock Rights who has not previously complied with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to Parent, as a general unsecured creditor, for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock.

1.9 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) The Company shall, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, deliver to Parent a certificate, signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth a good faith determination of the estimated Closing Net Working Capital, determined in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis with the Company Financial Statements and past practice to the extent not inconsistent with GAAP (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”).

-13-

(b) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Closing Current Assets” means the current assets of the Company, as of the close of business on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with GAAP in effect at the Closing Date, consistently applied, and shall include, without duplication, (a) cash and cash equivalents, (b) accounts receivable, net of allowance for bad debt, and (c) other current assets (including deposits and prepaid rent). Current assets shall not include (i) current and deferred income taxes, (ii) transaction related assets (e.g. capitalized legal or advisory fees) and (iii) any prepaid insurance policies.

(ii) “Closing Net Working Capital” shall mean an amount (positive or negative) equal to the (i) Closing Current Assets minus (ii) Closing Total Liabilities. Closing Net Working Capital will exclude the impact of FAS 123(R) and any assets or liabilities relating to any other equity instrument (including restricted stock and preferred stock). An illustration of the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, together with a summary of the assumptions related thereto, is attached as Schedule 1.9(a).

(iii) “Closing Total Liabilities” means the current and long-term liabilities of the Company, as of the close of business on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with GAAP in effect at the Closing Date, consistently applied, and shall include, without duplication, (a) accounts payable, (b) accrued expenses (including payroll, bonuses, commissions, rent, utilities, etc.), (c) obligations or amounts payable for acquisitions of businesses or intellectual property, (d) unpaid obligations or amounts payable relating to transaction fees and expenses, (e) any tax liabilities, (f) any items of indebtedness for borrowed money, (g) Estimated Transaction Expenses and (h) any other long-term liabilities. Closing Total Liabilities shall not include any items included in the Closing Indebtedness Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, all deferred revenue liabilities (current and long-term portions) of the Company will be included when calculating Closing Net Working Capital.

(iv) “December Current Assets” shall mean the current assets of the Company as determined in accordance with GAAP in effect at December 31, 2005, consistently applied, and shall include, without duplication, (a) cash and cash equivalents, (b) accounts receivable, net of allowance for bad debt, and (c) other current assets (including deposits and prepaid rent). Current assets shall not include (i) current and deferred income taxes, (ii) transaction related assets (e.g. capitalized legal or advisory fees) and (iii) prepaid insurance policies.

(v) “December Current Liabilities” means the current liabilities of the Company as determined in accordance with GAAP in effect at December 31, 2005, consistently applied, and shall include, without duplication, (a) accounts payable and (b) accrued expenses (including payroll, bonuses, commissions, rent, utilities, etc.), and shall not include (i) any items relating to indebtedness for borrowed money, (ii) any amounts payable for acquisitions of businesses or intellectual property (other than payments for the acquisition of Hibernate), (iii) accrued obligations relating to any transaction (e.g. legal or advisory fees relating to mergers) and (iv) any obligation in respect of income taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, all deferred revenue liabilities (current and long-term portions) of the Company will be included as current liabilities when calculating December Net Working Capital and Estimated Transaction Expenses shall not be included when calculating December Net Working Capital.

-14-

(vi) “December Net Working Capital” shall mean an amount (positive or negative) equal to the (i) December Current Assets, calculated by reference to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 minus (ii) the December Current Liabilities, calculated by reference to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 minus (iii) $500,000. December Net Working Capital will exclude the impact of FAS 123(R) and any assets or liabilities relating to any other equity instrument (including restricted stock and preferred stock). An illustration of the calculation of the December Net Working Capital, together with a summary of the assumptions related thereto, is attached as Schedule 1.9(b).

(c) The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect the difference, if any, between the December Net Working Capital and the Closing Net Working Capital.

(i) As soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Stockholder Representative (A) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company (the “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet”) as of the close of business on the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis with the Company’s audited financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2005 and past practice to the extent not inconsistent with GAAP, together with worksheets and data that support the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, and (B) a certificate, signed by the Chief Financial Officer of Parent, certifying on behalf of Parent that the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet was prepared in good faith and in accordance with this Section 1.9. Each of Parent and the surviving entity of the Upstream Merger shall provide the Stockholder Representative and its accountants reasonable access to the personnel and books and records of Parent and the surviving entity of the Upstream Merger that are applicable to the Company Business for the purpose of discussing the preparation of, and reviewing, the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet.

(ii) Subject to the resolution of any disputes pursuant to this Section 1.9(c), within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, (A) if the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Closing Net Working Capital, calculated by reference to the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet (such excess, the “Closing Working Capital Shortfall”), Parent shall be entitled to a payment from the Escrow Amount in an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital Shortfall, which shall be treated as a downward adjustment to the Merger Consideration payable to Participating Holders for tax purposes, and (B) if the Closing Net Working Capital, calculated by reference to the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet, exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital (such excess, the “Closing Working Capital Surplus”), the Participating Holders shall be entitled, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.9(c)(ii), to an additional payment from Parent in an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital Surplus, which shall be treated as an upward adjustment to the Merger Consideration payable to Participating Holders for tax purposes. In the event of a Closing Working Capital Shortfall, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall direct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Parent from the Escrow Amount, an amount in cash equal to the Closing Working Capital Shortfall. In the event of a Closing Working Capital Surplus, Parent

-15-

shall deliver, on behalf of the Participating Holders on a Pro Rata Basis, to the Escrow Agent, an amount in cash equal to the Closing Working Capital Surplus, together with instructions that such amount shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Participating Holders on a Pro Rata Basis in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and shall not be available for any indemnification claims pursuant to Article VI hereof.

(iii) The Stockholder Representative may dispute any amounts reflected on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall have notified Parent in writing of each disputed item, specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within thirty (30) days of the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet. In the event of such a dispute, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall attempt to reconcile their differences. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to reach a resolution within twenty (20) days after receipt by Parent of the Stockholder Representative’s written notice of such dispute, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to an independent accounting firm to be mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall, within thirty (30) days of such submission, determine and report to the Stockholder Representative and Parent upon such remaining disputed items, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Participating Holders, the Stockholder Representative and Parent. The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet that has not been challenged, has been reconciled, or has been determined by the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.9 is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Date Balance Sheet.” The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated equally between Parent and the Participating Holders (to be paid from the Escrow Fund).

1.10 Earn-Out.

(a) The Merger Consideration includes the right to receive contingent consideration, which shall be paid to the Participating Holders (other than holders of Company Preferred Shares and the holders of Company Warrants), in the manner described in Section 1.6, and at the times and if, and only if, the conditions to such contingent payments described in this Section 1.10 are satisfied.

(b) The Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out shall be paid if, and only if, the Final Bookings for the year ended December 31, 2006 (“CY2006”) are greater than $50 million. The Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out shall be paid if, and only if, the Final Bookings for the year ended December 31, 2007 (“CY2007”) are greater than $100 million. The Per Share Stretch Earn-Out shall be paid if, and only if, the Final Bookings for CY2007 are greater than $135 million.

(c) As soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2007, Parent shall determine the Bookings for such calendar quarter and the year-to-date Bookings as of the end of such calendar quarter (the “Quarterly Bookings Report”), and deliver notice of such determinations, together with worksheets and data that support the Quarterly Bookings Report and summary financial data regarding the financial performance of the Company Business during such periods, to the Stockholder Representative.

-16-

Each of Parent and the surviving entity of the Upstream Merger shall provide the Stockholder Representative with reasonable access to the personnel and books and records of Parent applicable to the Company Business for the purpose of discussing the Quarterly Bookings Report and reviewing the same. The Stockholder Representative may dispute the amount of Bookings for a calendar quarter reflected in the Quarterly Bookings Report and, except for the first Quarterly Bookings Report delivered after the Closing Date, not the amount of year-to-date Bookings reflected in the Quarterly Bookings Report; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall have notified Parent in writing of each disputed item, specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within thirty (30) days of the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of such notice. In the event of such a dispute, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall attempt to reconcile their differences. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to reach a resolution within twenty (20) days after receipt by Parent of the Stockholder Representative’s written notice of dispute, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to an independent accounting firm to be mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Earn-Out Accounting Firm”), which shall, within thirty (30) days of such submission, determine and report to the Stockholder Representative and Parent upon such remaining disputed items, and the determination of Bookings for such period shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Participating Holders, the Stockholder Representative and Parent. The determination of Bookings for a period that has not been challenged, has been reconciled, or has been determined by the Earn-Out Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.10 is referred to herein as the “Final Bookings.” The fees and disbursements of the Earn-Out Accounting Firm shall be allocated equally between Parent and the Participating Holders (other than the holders of Company Preferred Shares or Company Warrants therefor) (the portion of such fees and disbursements allocated to the Participating Holders shall be deducted from the contingent consideration to be paid to such holders under this Section 1.10).

(d) Subject to the resolution of any disputes pursuant to Section 1.10(c), the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out, as the case may be, shall be paid by Parent in accordance with Section 1.6 within fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt by the Stockholder Representative of Parent’s determination of Bookings for the applicable period.

(e) Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to January 31, 2008, to make a payment in full of the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out, or any combination of the foregoing. In the event that Parent elects to do so, upon delivery of the applicable payment in full to the Participating Stockholder having the right to receive the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out or the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out, as the case may be, Parent shall have satisfied in full its obligations hereunder in respect of such contingent consideration.

(f) In the event that a Company Sale occurs prior to the determination of Final Bookings for CY2006, Parent shall make payment in full (regardless of the amount of Bookings for CY2006 as of such date) to each Participating Holder of the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out no later than immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Company Sale. In the event that a Company Sale occurs following the determination of Final Bookings for CY2006 but before the determination

-17-

of Final Bookings for CY2007, Parent shall, no later than immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Company Sale, pay to each Participating Holder (i) any earned but unpaid amount of the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out and (ii) the full amounts of the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and Per Share Stretch Earn-Out (in each case, regardless of the amount of Bookings for CY2007 as of such date). In the event that a Company Sale occurs following the determination of Final Bookings for CY 2007, Parent shall, no later than immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Company Sale, pay to each Participating Holder any earned but unpaid amount of the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and Per Share Stretch Earn-Out. Following payment in full of the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 1.10(f), Parent shall have satisfied in full its obligations hereunder in respect of such contingent consideration.

(g) During the period (the “Earn-Out Period”) commencing on the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2007 (or such earlier date upon which the Per Share Year 1 Earn-Out, the Per Share Year 2 Earn-Out and the Per Share Stretch Earn-Out have been paid in accordance with this Agreement):

-55-

4.7 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the Company, of, and promptly deliver supplemental information reasonably requested by Parent or the Company, as the case may be, explaining (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event which is likely to cause any representation or warranty of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent, Merger Sub or Merger LLC, on the other hand, contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any failure of the Company or Parent, as applicable, to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant or condition to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement and (iii) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make any of the conditions set forth in Article V incapable of timely satisfaction. None of the foregoing notices or supplemental information shall be deemed to avoid or cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or constitute an amendment of any representation, warranty or statement in this Agreement or any certificate or other documents delivered hereunder.

4.8 No Solicitation.

(a) Until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, current Employees, financial advisors, legal advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) will, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or initiate any inquiry, proposal or offer from, or agree to enter into, execute or deliver any Contracts with, any Person (other than Parent or its Affiliates) relating to (A) any merger, share issuance or exchange, business combination, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary, (B) the acquisition of beneficial ownership of any equity interest in the Company or any Subsidiary, whether by issuance by the Company or any Subsidiary or by purchase (through a tender offer, exchange offer, negotiated purchase or otherwise) from the stockholders of the Company or otherwise, other than upon exercise of Company Warrants and Company Options outstanding as of the Agreement Date, upon conversion of any Company Preferred Shares, or (C) the license or transfer of all or a material portion of the assets of the Company (any of the transactions described in clauses (A) through (C), a “Third-Party Acquisition”); or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate with, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek, a Third-Party Acquisition; provided, however, that, at any time prior to the approval of this Agreement by the Stockholders in accordance with the DGCL, if the Company receives a bona fide written proposal regarding a Third-Party Acquisition that was unsolicited and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 4.8(a), the Company may furnish non-public information with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries to the Person who made such proposal and may participate in discussions regarding such Third-Party Acquisition if at least a majority of the members of the Company Board determines in good faith, after receiving advice from independent outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would constitute a violation of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Stockholders under applicable Law, the Company Board determines that such Third-Party Acquisition is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and prior to the disclosure of any non-public information with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary, such Person enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Company that is not, in any material respect, less restrictive as to such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement.

-56-

The Company, the Subsidiaries and their Representatives shall immediately cease all discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Third-Party Acquisition.

(b) In the event the Company or any Representative receives an unsolicited inquiry, proposal or offer relating to a Third-Party Acquisition, (i) the Company will promptly (and in any event within one Business Day after such receipt) notify Parent of such inquiry, proposal or offer, including the identity of the other Person and the material terms of such inquiry, proposal or offer and (ii) the Company shall be permitted to provide a response without breaching this Section 4.8; provided that, except as otherwise permitted under Section 4.8(a), the response is limited to informing the initiator of such inquiry, proposal or offer that the Company is unable to respond further at this time.

4.9 Company Employee Plans.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide the Employees with benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates. To the extent that service is relevant for purposes of eligibility, vesting, calculation of any benefit, or benefit accrual under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by Parent following the Effective Time for the benefit of the Employees, such plan, program or arrangement shall credit such Employees for service up to and including the Effective Time with the Company or any of the Subsidiaries. In addition, with respect to any welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) established or maintained by Parent following the Effective Time for the benefit of the Employees, such plan shall waive any pre-existing condition exclusions and provide that any covered expenses incurred on or before the Effective Time by any Employee or by a covered dependent shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Effective Time.

(b) Effective immediately preceding the Closing, the Company will terminate any and all Company Employee Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Company 401(k) Plans”) and effective immediately prior to the Closing, no Employee shall have any right to contribute any amounts to any Company 401(k) Plans. Parent shall cause the trustee of the defined contribution plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code in which United States employees participate (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”), to accept “eligible rollover distributions” (as such term is defined under Section 402 of the Code) from the Company 401(k) Plan if the Company 401(k) Plan has been qualified as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code and only to the extent such “eligible rollover distributions” may be accepted pursuant to the terms of the Parent 401(k) Plan without constituting a breach or violation of the Parent 401(k) Plan or applicable Law. At the request of Parent, the Company will provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plans have

-57-

been terminated effective immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board. In addition, at the request of Parent, the Company will terminate any and all other Company Employee Plans, including any group health, dental, severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements, effective either immediately prior to the Closing or thereafter as specified by Parent and, at the request of Parent, the Company will provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plans have been so terminated pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board.

From the Agreement Date until the Effective Time, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall make or change any material election in respect of Taxes, adopt or change any accounting method in respect of Taxes, enter into any closing agreement, settle any claim or assessment in respect of Taxes, or consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any claim or assessment in respect of Taxes, except with the prior written consent of Parent.

(b) Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Merger shall be paid by the Stockholders when due, and the Stockholders will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, Parent will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. If an amount payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.10(b), then a portion of such amount equal to the amount of such Taxes shall, to the extent required by law, be withheld from the payment to such Person and remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority.

(c) Clearance Certificates. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a clearance certificate or similar document(s) which may be required by any Tax Authority to relieve Parent of (i) any obligation to withhold Taxes in connection with the Transactions and (ii) any liability for Taxes (determined without regard to provisions of this Agreement assigning responsibility therefor) for which relief is available by reason of the filing of an appropriate certificate or other document.

-58-

(d) Tax Returns. The Company will promptly provide or make available to Parent copies of all Tax Returns, reports and information statements that are filed after the Agreement Date and prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Tax Contests. The Parent shall have the right to control any Tax audit, initiate any claim for refund, contest, resolve and defend against any assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment relating to any and all Taxes for any taxable period ending on or prior to December 31, 2005 with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to participate in any Tax proceeding concerning such matters at its own expense directly or through counsel. Parent shall not agree to any settlement of, or entry of any judgment arising from, any such Tax proceeding without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) Tax Carryforwards. The Company agrees to cooperate with Parent and provide any factual information requested by Parent that is reasonably necessary for Parent to determine the limitations, if any, on the Company’s tax carryforwards under Sections 382, 383 and 384 of the Code or any similar provision of Law of any other jurisdiction applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary. In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that, on or before the Closing Date, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Parent the following information: (i) any information known to the Company regarding the ownership of the equity of the Company from the time the Company was formed through the Agreement Date (including any capitalization tables, option tables or redemption tables known to the Company with respect to the equity of the Company showing the ownership of Company stock or options, the dates any such stock or options were issued or transferred, and the prices and (if applicable) strike prices at which any such stock or options were issued), (ii) any information known to the Company regarding any relationships between or among the Shareholders, (iii) any valuation-type spreadsheets, memoranda, offering documents, resolutions of the Company Board, or similar materials of the Company that have been prepared by or for the Company in connection with any stock offerings, option issuances, changes in option pricing or redemptions, if any, and (iv) any written analysis known to the Company that has been conducted regarding whether there is any limitation on its Tax carryforwards under the foregoing Code sections.

(g) Tax Consequences. The parties hereto intend that the Merger and the Upstream Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the U.S. Income Tax Regulations. The parties are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would preclude the Merger and the Upstream Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, from qualifying for treatment as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes and have not and will not take any actions inconsistent with such treatment.

(h) FIRPTA. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a notice that the Company Capital Shares are not “U.S. real property interests” in accordance with Treasury Regulations under Sections 897 and 1445 of the Code, together with evidence

-59-

reasonably satisfactory to Parent that the Company had provided notice to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.897-2(h)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. If Parent does not receive the notice described above prior to the Closing Date, Parent or Merger Sub shall be permitted to withhold from the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement any required withholding Tax under Section 1445 of the Code.

4.11 Exercise and Termination of Company Stock Rights. Promptly after the Agreement Date, the Company shall deliver proper notice to each holder of a Company Option and to each holder of a Company Warrant informing such holder of the effect of the Transactions on the Company Options and Company Warrants.

(b) D&O Insurance. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s directors and officers in a form acceptable to the Company which shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company and such other directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as determined by the Company, and the Company shall pay all premiums associated therewith (the “Premiums”) prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified D&Os in order to afford the Indemnified D&Os the right to receive any payment to which they are entitled under such insurance policy or policies.

(c) Beneficiaries. Section 4.12(a) and the last sentence of Section 4.12(b) shall survive the consummation of the Merger, are intended, from and after the Effective Time, to benefit the Indemnified D&Os, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation (including the surviving entity in the Upstream Merger), and, from and after the Effective Time, shall be enforceable by the Indemnified D&Os. In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation (including the surviving entity in the Upstream Merger) or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (including the surviving entity in the Upstream Merger), as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.12.

-60-

4.13 Resignation of Directors. The Company shall obtain the resignations of all directors of the Company and such directors of the Subsidiaries as Parent designates in writing, effective as of the Effective Time, which such resignations shall not prejudice in any manner any contractual rights of such directors.

4.14 Antitrust Filings.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date, Parent and the Company will, and the Company will cause any Affiliate required to make an Antitrust Filing to, (i) file with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission premerger notification and report Forms under and in compliance with the HSR Act with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions and (ii) each make in timely fashion such other filings as Parent deems necessary or desirable in connection with the Merger under applicable Antitrust Laws ((i) and (ii) collectively, (the “Antitrust Filings”) with the appropriate Governmental Entity designated by Law to receive such filings (with respect to a non-U.S. Antitrust Filing, a “Foreign Antitrust Governmental Entity”). Parent and the Company shall furnish to each other all information required for any necessary filing or other application in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions. Parent and the Company shall share equally all filing fees in connection with the Antitrust Filings.

(b) The Company and Parent shall each cooperate reasonably with the other in connection with resolving any inquiry or investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice or the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or any Foreign Antitrust Governmental Entity relating to their respective Antitrust Filings. The Company and Parent shall each promptly inform the other of any communication with, and any proposed understanding, agreement, or undertaking with the U.S. Department of Justice or the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or any Foreign Antitrust Governmental Entity relating to its Antitrust Filings and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity. As promptly as is practicable after receiving any request from the U.S. Department of Justice or the U.S. Federal Trade Commission under the HSR Act or any Foreign Antitrust Governmental Entity for information, documents or other materials in connection with the review of the Antitrust Filings, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such request. The Company and Parent shall each give the other reasonable advance notice of, and the opportunity to participate in (through its counsel and/or others) any inquiry or investigation by, or any meeting or conference (whether by telecommunications or in person) with, the U.S. Department of Justice or the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or any Foreign Antitrust Governmental Entity relating to the Antitrust Filings. The Company and Parent shall each furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence, filings, and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) drafted by or in conjunction with outside counsel between it and its Affiliate and respective representatives on the one hand and any Governmental Entity or members of such Governmental Entity’s staff on the other hand, concerning the review, clearance or approval of the Transactions under the HSR Act or any similar applicable Law, except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law or the instructions of such Governmental Entity.

(c) Each of Parent and Company hereby covenants and agrees to use reasonable best efforts to secure termination or expiration of any waiting periods under the HSR

-61-

Act or any other applicable domestic or foreign Law and to obtain the approval of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, or any other Governmental Entity, as applicable, for the Merger and other Transactions.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to (i) make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to orders providing for the sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets of Parent or any of its Affiliates or the Company or any of its Affiliates or the holding separate of the shares of stock of the Company (or shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation or limited liability company interests of Merger LLC) or imposing or seeking to impose any material limitation on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to conduct their business or own such assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of stock of the Company (or shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation or limited liability company interests of Merger LLC), or (ii) take any action under this Section if the United States Department of Justice or the United States Federal Trade Commission, or any Governmental Entity administering any other applicable Antitrust Law, authorizes its staff to seek a preliminary injunction or restraining order to enjoin consummation of the Merger.

4.15 Registration of Shares.

(a) Parent agrees to file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, but in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale on a delayed or continuous basis by the Participating Holders of the Parent Common Stock issued to the Participating Holders pursuant to the Merger (other than shares of Parent Common Stock issuable as contingent consideration as described in Section 1.10) (the “Registrable Shares”), provided that such shares shall cease to be “Registrable Shares” on the first anniversary of the Closing Date or such earlier date as such shares are sold under the Registration Statement. If Parent is eligible as a WKSI, the Registration Statement shall utilize the automatic shelf registration process under Rule 415 and Rule 462 under the Securities Act, and in connection therewith, Parent agrees to make any other filings with the SEC required to be made prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including, if required, a Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the closing of the Transactions and all financial statements required to be included therein, provided that the Company has provided Parent with all such financial statements of the Company. If Parent is not eligible as a WKSI, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as expeditiously as possible and to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the date one year after the Closing Date or such earlier time as all of the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. Parent, the Company, the Participating Holders and the Stockholder Representative acknowledge that, under current Law, any shares of Parent Common Stock to be acquired by the Participating Holders as contingent consideration as described in Section 1.10 shall be deemed, for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, to have been acquired on the Closing Date. In the event that Parent determines that any of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be acquired by the Participating Holders as contingent consideration as described in Section 1.10 shall be deemed, for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, to

-62-

have been acquired as of any date later than the Closing Date, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register such shares for resale in accordance with this Section 4.15 and to maintain the effectiveness of the related Registration Statement for a period of one year from the date deemed to be the acquisition date of such shares by the Participating Holders.

(b) Parent shall notify the Participating Holders of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and shall furnish to each Participating Holder, without charge, such number of copies of the Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or such other documents as the Participating Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Shares in the manner described in the Registration Statement.

(c) Parent shall as promptly as reasonably practicable notify each Participating Holder of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to such Participating Holder’s Registrable Shares or the receipt of notice of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such a Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment. Parent shall promptly notify the Participating Holders of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Registration Statement (or prospectus relating thereto). Parent shall promptly notify each Participating Holder of the filing of the Registration Statement or any prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.

(d) Parent shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Shares until the first anniversary of the Closing Date. Upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice, Parent shall file any supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement with respect to the plan of distribution (other than a distribution including an underwritten offering) or a Participating Holder’s ownership interests in his, her or its Registrable Shares that is reasonably necessary to permit the sale of such Participating Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(e) Parent may, by written notice to the Participating Holders, (i) delay the filing of the Registration Statement or (ii) suspend the Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Participating Holders immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, in the event that (A) Parent is engaged in any activity or transaction or preparations or negotiations for any activity or transaction that Parent desires to keep confidential for business reasons, if Parent determines in good faith that the public disclosure requirements imposed on Parent under the Securities Act in connection with the Registration Statement would require disclosure of such activity, transaction, preparations or negotiations or (B) any financial statements or other information required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement are not available. If Parent suspends the Registration

-63-

Statement and requires the Participating Holders to cease sales of shares pursuant to this Section 4.15(e), Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled Parent to do so, take such actions as may be necessary to file or reinstate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and give written notice to all Participating Holders authorizing them to resume sales pursuant to the Registration Statement. If as a result thereof the prospectus included in the Registration Statement has been amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Parent shall enclose such revised prospectus with the notice to Participating Holders given pursuant to this Section 4.15(e), and the Participating Holders shall make no offers or sales of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement other than by means of such revised prospectus. Parent need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to any delay or suspension in any notice to Participating Holders and the holders agree to treat and keep the existence of such delay or suspension, as the case may be, confidential. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent shall not exercise its rights under this Section 4.15(e) to delay the filing of the Registration Statement and/or suspend sales of Registrable Shares for one or more periods (calculated from and including the due date for the filing of the Registration Statement as set forth in Section 4.15(a) or the date of receipt by the Participating Holders of notice of any suspension of sales, as the case may be, through and including the date of filing of the Registration Statement or date of receipt by the Participating Holders of notice that sales may resume, as the case may be) in excess of 105 days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period.

(f) In connection with the filing by Parent of the Registration Statement, Parent shall furnish to each Participating Holder a copy of the prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act. If Parent has delivered a prospectus to the Participating Holders and after having done so the prospectus is amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Parent shall promptly notify the Participating Holders and, if requested by Parent, the Participating Holders shall immediately cease making offers or sales of shares under the previously delivered prospectus. Parent shall promptly provide the Participating Holders with revised or supplemented prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised or supplemented prospectuses, if a prospectus related to the Registration Statement is required at that time to be delivered under the Securities Act to a transferee, the Participating Holders shall be free to resume making offers and sales under the Registration Statement.

(g) Parent shall, in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, file such documents as may be necessary to register or qualify the Registrable Shares under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states as the Participating Holders may reasonably request, and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filings to become effective in a timely manner; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such state in which it is not then qualified or to file any general consent to service of process in any such state.

(h) Neither Parent, nor any of its security holders (other than holders of Registrable Shares in such capacity) shall have the right to include any securities of Parent in the Registration Statement other than Registrable Shares. Parent, only for so long as it has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing or trading privileges of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued hereunder on Parent’s principal national securities exchange (currently NASDAQ) on which shares of Parent Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

-64-

(i) If at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date while Registrable Shares are outstanding and the Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Shares under Section 4.15(a) is not effective, Parent proposes to register shares of Parent Common Stock under the Securities Act for sale to the public (other than a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable, a registration statement covering shares acquired pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or a registration statement on Form ▇-▇, ▇-▇ or another form not available for registering the Registrable Shares for sale to the public), each such time Parent will give written notice to each Participating Holder of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of any of such Participating Holders, given within fifteen (15) days after receipt by such Participating Holder of such notice, Parent shall cause all such Registrable Shares of the requesting Participating Holders to be registered under the Securities Act and qualified for sale under any state securities or “blue sky” law, to the extent required to permit such sale or other disposition of their Registrable Shares; provided, however, that if such offering of shares of Parent Common Stock is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of such offering determines that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock sought to be offered should be limited due to market conditions, then the number of Registrable Shares to be included in such underwritten public offering shall be reduced by a number deemed necessary by such managing underwriter, which such Registrable Shares shall be allocated among the Participating Holders requesting registration on a pro rata basis.

(j) Parent shall pay the expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this Section 4.15, including all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, fees and expenses of counsel for Parent, and fees and expenses of accountants for Parent, but excluding (i) any brokerage fees, selling commissions or underwriting discounts incurred by the Participating Holders in connection with sales under the Registration Statement and (ii) the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by Participating Holders.

(k) Parent shall not be required to include any Registrable Shares in the Registration Statement unless: (i) the Participating Holder owning such shares furnishes to Parent in writing such information regarding such Participating Holder and the proposed sale of shares by such Participating Holder as Parent may reasonably request in writing in connection with the Registration Statement or as shall be required in connection therewith by the SEC or any state securities law authorities; (ii) such Participating Holder shall have provided to Parent its written agreement: (A) to indemnify Parent and each of its directors and officers against, and hold Parent and each of its directors and officers harmless from, any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) to which Parent or such directors and officers may become subject by reason of any statement or omission in the Registration Statement made in reliance upon, or in conformity with, a written statement by such Participating Holder furnished pursuant to this Section 4.15; and (B) to report to Parent sales made pursuant to the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Participating Holder shall be liable for any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities pursuant to this Section 4.15 in excess of the net proceeds to such Participating Holder from the sale of such Participating Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement.

-65-

(l) Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Participating Holder whose shares are included in the Registration Statement, and if such Participating Holder is not an individual, such Participating Holder’s directors, officers and each person, if any, that controls a Participating Holder whose shares are included in the Registration Statement within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to which such Participating Holder or other such Person may become subject by reason of any untrue statement of a material fact or alleged untrue statement contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arise out of or are based upon information furnished in writing to Parent by or on behalf of a Participating Holder for use in the Registration Statement. Parent shall have the right to assume the defense and settlement of any claim or suit for which Parent may be responsible for indemnification under this Section 4.15 with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnified party may participate in any such defense or settlement, but Parent shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (x) if Parent fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend in good faith the action or proceeding within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so; or (y) if such indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against Parent shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are not available to Parent; or (z) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in any such case, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction) and Parent shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor. Parent shall not, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(m) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.15(l) is unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the indemnified party harmless as contemplated therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,

-66-

access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Parent and the Participating Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.15(m) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that fails to take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. No Participating Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds to such Participating Holder from the sale of such Participating Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Participating Holder has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(n) Parent covenants that, for so long as Parent has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

(o) A Participating Holder may not assign any of its rights under this Section 4.15 except in connection with the transfer of some or all of his, her or its Registrable Shares to an Immediate Family Member or trust for the benefit of an individual Participating Holder or one or more of such Participating Holder’s Immediate Family Members or, in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, to an Affiliate, its partners, members or stockholders, respectively; provided each such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to Parent to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.15.

(p) All of Parent’s obligations under this Section 4.15 (other than under Sections 4.15(a) (only the last sentence), (h) (only the last sentence), (l), (m) and (n)) shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the Closing Date or (b) the date on which no Participating Holder holds any Registrable Shares.

4.16 Stockholder Approval. Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall solicit the approval by written consent of the Charter Amendment, this Agreement and the Merger by the Stockholders holding the requisite number of shares of each class of Company Capital Shares required to approve the Charter Amendment, this Agreement and the Merger in accordance with the DGCL and the Company Certificate of Incorporation (the “Stockholder Approval”) and deliver to such Stockholders all information regarding Parent provided to the Company prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent for delivery to such Stockholders in connection therewith (the “Parent Information”). As expeditiously as possible following the execution of this Agreement, and in any event prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Agreement Date, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to secure and cause to be filed with the Company consents from Stockholders necessary to secure the Stockholder Approval. No later than five (5) Business Days after the Agreement Date, the Company shall send to all Stockholders (i) the Disclosure Statement, which shall include (A) a summary of the Merger, this Agreement and the Charter Amendment, (B) a statement that the Company Board unanimously recommended that the Stockholders consent in writing to the approval of the Charter Amendment, the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger, and (C) a statement that appraisal rights are available for the Company

-67-

Capital Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and a copy of such Section 262, (ii) pursuant to Sections 228 and 262(d) of the DGCL, a written notice to all Stockholders that did not execute such written consent informing them that this Agreement, the Merger and the Charter Amendment were adopted and approved by the Stockholders and that appraisal rights are available for their Company Capital Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (which notice shall include a copy of Section 262), together with any other information required by Law and (iii) the Parent Information. The Company shall promptly inform Parent of the date on which the notice described in the preceding sentence was sent. The Company shall ensure that the Disclosure Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that the Company shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information concerning Parent furnished by Parent in writing for inclusion in or with the Disclosure Statement).

4.17 Upstream Merger. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall merge with and into Merger LLC. From and after the effectiveness of the Upstream Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Surviving Corporation shall cease and the Merger LLC shall continue as the surviving entity in the Upstream Merger. The Upstream Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259 of the DGCL. Parent and Merger LLC shall take all steps and actions as shall be required to cause the Surviving Corporation and Merger LLC to consummate the Upstream Merger as set forth in this Section 4.17.

6.3 Limitations.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.3(e), after the Closing, the Participating Holders shall not be liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party for money damages pursuant to Section 6.2 in an aggregate amount in excess of the Escrow Amount, no Participating Holder shall be liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party for money damages pursuant to Section 6.2 in

-73-

an aggregate amount in excess of such Participating Holder’s pro rata share of the Escrow Amount, and the Escrow Amount shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses for which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.2. No indemnification claim under Section 6.2(a) may be made against the Escrow Amount for any individual claim for Losses of less than $20,000 (the “Threshold”), nor until the aggregate dollar amount of Losses for all claims that individually equal or exceed the Threshold equal or exceed $1,000,000 (the “Basket”), after which Parent shall be indemnified for all Losses in excess of $500,000, up to an aggregate amount equal to the Escrow Amount; provided that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply to a claim relating to the capitalization set forth in Allocation Certificate or a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1 (first and second sentences thereof only), 2.2 or 2.24. For purposes of this Article VI, all representations and warranties of the Company in Article II (other than Sections 2.9(u) and 2.34) shall be construed as if the terms “material” and “in all material respects” (and variations thereof) and any reference to “Company Material Adverse Effect” (and variations thereof) were omitted from such representations and warranties.

(b) No indemnification shall be payable to an Indemnified Party with respect to claims asserted by such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.2 after 5:00 P.M. Eastern time on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, except that, in all cases, with respect to any claim of which any Indemnified Party shall have provided written notice to the Stockholder Representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to such termination.

(c) There shall be no liability of the Participating Holders or with respect to the foregoing indemnification obligations under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive damages (except punitive damages payable to a third party). The amount of Losses recoverable by an Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by the amount of any payment received by such Indemnified Party, with respect to the Losses to which such indemnity claim relates, from an insurance carrier; provided that Parent is not obligated for any retroactive premium under the applicable insurance policy. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue insurance claims to which it may be entitled in connection with any Losses it incurs, provided that Parent shall not be required to pursue any litigation or similar remedy against any insurance carrier.

(d) Any liability for indemnification under Section 6.2 shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses for which indemnification may be claimed by them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent required to do so by applicable Law.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, the limitations set forth in this Article VI shall not apply with respect to (i) fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach or misconduct, or (ii) any equitable remedy, including a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance.

(f) Except as set forth in Section 6.3(e), Parent, Merger Sub, Merger LLC and the Indemnified Parties agree that, after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for money damages for any matters relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be the rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VI.

-74-

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate liability of Parent and its Affiliates for breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article III hereof or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed $33.0 million and (ii) neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable for any individual claim for Losses until the aggregate dollar amount of Losses for all claims in excess of the Threshold exceed the Basket, after which Parent shall be liable for Losses in excess of $500,000; provided, however, that the limitations set forth herein shall not apply with respect to the liability of Parent for any claims arising under Section 10(b) under the Exchange Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.4 Procedures.

(a) Post-Closing Claims Against the Escrow Amount. The procedure for making indemnification claims under this Agreement (other than Third-Party Claims as described in clause (b) below) against the Escrow Amount after the Closing is as follows:

(i) In order to seek indemnification, an Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent.

(ii) Within 20 days after receipt of a Claim Notice from an Indemnified Party, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a Response, in which the Stockholder Representative shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent from the Escrow Amount an amount in cash equal to the Claimed Amount), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent from the Escrow Amount an amount in cash equal to the Agreed Amount), or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.

(iii) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 30-day period, the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to binding arbitration, and if the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party agree in writing to submit the Dispute to such arbitration, then the provisions of Section 6.4(a)(iv) shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. The provisions of this Section 6.4(a) shall not obligate the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party to submit to arbitration or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure with respect to any Dispute, and in the absence of an agreement by the Stockholder Representative and the

-75-

Indemnified Party to arbitrate a Dispute, such Dispute shall be resolved in a state or federal court located in the State of Delaware. The Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the Escrow Amount shall be distributed to Parent and/or the Participating Holders (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute).

(iv) If, as set forth in Section 6.4(a)(iii), the Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative agree to submit any Dispute to binding arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) mutually agreed upon by the parties in accordance with the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the following provisions:

(A) In the event of any conflict between the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and be controlling.

(B) The parties shall commence the arbitration by jointly filing a written submission with the New York, New York office of the AAA in accordance with Commercial Rule 5 (or any successor provision).

(C) No depositions or other discovery shall be conducted in connection with the arbitration other than the exchange of relevant documents.

(D) The Arbitrator may enter a default decision against any party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceeding.

(E) Not later than 30 days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the Arbitrator shall prepare and distribute to the parties a writing setting forth the arbitral award and a brief summary of the Arbitrator’s reasons therefor. Any award rendered by the Arbitrator regarding the matters in dispute shall be final, non-appealable, conclusive and binding upon the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Arbitrator shall have no power or authority to grant injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief.

(F) The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority, under the Commercial Rules or otherwise, to (x) modify or disregard any provision of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 6.4(a)(iv), or (y) address or resolve any issue not submitted by the parties.

(G) The parties shall use reasonable efforts to keep confidential and not disclose to any Person (except (i) to the extent required by Law or stock market regulation; (ii) for disclosure to those employees and agents of any such party who have a need to know and who have been advised of their obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure hereunder; (iii) for disclosure by the Stockholder Representative to the Participating Holders; (iv) as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and (v) to the Arbitrator), the existence of any Dispute hereunder, the referral of any such Dispute to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof. The parties shall label all arbitration submissions with a legend requesting confidential treatment.

-76-

(H) In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Agreement, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, except that the fees and costs of the AAA and the Arbitrator, the costs and expenses of obtaining the facility where the arbitration hearing is held, and such other costs and expenses as the Arbitrator may determine to be directly related to the conduct of the arbitration and appropriately borne jointly by the parties (which shall not include any party’s attorneys’ fees or costs, witness fees (if any), costs of investigation and similar expenses) shall be shared equally by the Indemnified Party and the Participating Holders. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Escrow Agent, to pay any such costs, fees and expenses to be borne by the Participating Holders from any distributions to be made to the Participating Holders under the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Third-Party Claims. Promptly after the assertion by any third party of any claim against any Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that, in the judgment of such Indemnified Party, may result in the incurrence by such Indemnified Party of Losses for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a written notice describing in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Stockholder Representative shall relieve the Participating Holders of any liability or obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Participating Holders have been materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right in his sole discretion at any time to conduct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Stockholder Representative may only assume such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third-Party Claim would constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party would be indemnified pursuant to this Article VI and (B) the ad damnum is less than or equal to 50% of the balance of the Escrow Fund at such time and (ii) the Stockholder Representative may not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Stockholder Representative assumes defense of such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim at his, her or its own expense directly or through counsel, and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim if the Stockholder Representative shall cease at any time to conduct a good faith defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Stockholder Representative does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, assume conduct of the defense of any Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. In the event that the Stockholder Representative does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, assume conduct of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim at his own expense directly or through counsel and (ii) the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim if the Indemnified Party shall cease at any time to conduct a good faith defense of such Third-Party Claim. The

-77-

Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any such Third-Party Claim is settled with the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of any Losses relating thereto, subject to the provisions of Section 6.3. The Stockholder Representative shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.4(b) or (ii) the Stockholder Representative assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(c) The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VI shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by an Indemnified Party, whether before or after the Agreement Date or the Closing Date (including through supplements to the Disclosure Schedule) or (ii) any waiver by an Indemnified Party of any closing condition relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties or the performance of or compliance with agreements and covenants.

6.5 Merger Consideration Adjustment. The Company, Parent and the Participating Holders agree to treat each indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VI as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Law pursuant to a determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

6.6 Stockholder Representative; Power of Attorney.

(a) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (together with his permitted successors, the “Stockholder Representative”), is appointed as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for each Participating Holder to enter into the Escrow Agreement and to enter into any amendment to, or grant any waiver under, this Agreement after the Closing, and to: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Party) or the Escrow Agent relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any of the Transactions (except to the extent that this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by such Participating Holders individually); (ii) authorize deliveries to Parent of cash from the Escrow Amount in satisfaction of claims asserted by Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Party, including by not objecting to claims thereto); (iii) object to any claims asserted by Parent or any other Indemnified Party to the Escrow Amount; (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and agree to arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims; and (v) take all actions necessary or

Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Participating Holders, except for any notices to the Participating Holders under Section 4.15.

(d) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to any Participating Holder for any act done or omitted under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement as the Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

The Stockholder Representative may receive reimbursement directly from the Participating Holders (or from any distribution to the Participating Holders to be made under the Escrow Agreement) for any and all expenses, charges and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, reasonably incurred by the Stockholder Representative in the performance or discharge of his rights and obligations under this agreement; provided, however, that none of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Merger LLC or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability with respect to such items.

(e) The Stockholder Representative shall have access to relevant information about the Company and the reasonable assistance of Parent’s employees, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not disrupt or interfere with business operations, for purposes of performing his duties and exercising his rights under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided that the Stockholder Representative shall treat confidentially and not use or disclose to anyone any nonpublic information from or about the Company (except for disclosures on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially under terms of a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Parent).

(f) Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Stockholder Representative shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Participating Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Participating Holder; and each Indemnified

-79-

Party and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Participating Holder. Each Indemnified Party and the Escrow Agent are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.

(g) Without limiting the generality or effect of Section 6.6(a), any and all claims and disputes between or among any Indemnified Party, the Stockholder Representative or any one or more Participating Holders relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall in the case of any claim or dispute asserted by or against or involving any such Participating Holder (other than any claim against or dispute with the Stockholder Representative or under Section 4.15), be asserted or otherwise addressed solely by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of such Participating Holder (and not by such Participating Holder acting on its own behalf). The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may be enforced, and except as set forth in Section 9.9 or as otherwise required by applicable Law, any amendment to or waiver under this Agreement may be agreed to or granted, on behalf of the Participating Holders by the Stockholder Representative.

6.7 No Subrogation. Following the Closing, no Participating Holder shall have any right of indemnification, contribution or subrogation against the Company, any Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation, Merger LLC, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any indemnification payment made by or on behalf of any Participating Holder under Section 6.2 if the Merger and the Transactions are consummated.
