AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2007, by and among WaferGen Bio-systems, Inc (formerly known as La Burbuja Cafe, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), Wafergen Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”) and WaferGen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company are each a “Party” and referred to collectively herein as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, this Agreement contemplates a merger of the Acquisition Subsidiary with and into the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving entity after the merger (the “Merger”), whereby the stockholders of the Company will receive common stock of the Parent in exchange for their capital stock of the Company;

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the closing of the Merger, the Parent shall complete a private placement of up to 8,000,000 units of securities of the Parent, with the right, at the Parent’s and the Company’s discretion, to sell an additional 1,600,000 units (the “Private Placement Offering”), at the purchase price of $1.50 per unit (the “PPO Price”), each unit consisting of one share of the Parent’s common stock and a five year warrant to purchase thirty percent (30%) of a share of Parent common stock for an exercise price of $2.25 per whole share;

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the closing of the Merger, the Parent intends to split-off its wholly owned subsidiary, La Burbuja Leaseco, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Leaseco”), through the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Leaseco (the “Split-Off”) upon the terms and conditions of a split-off agreement by and among the Parent, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ De La O (the “Buyer”), the Company and Leaseco, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Split-Off Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary, and the Company desire that the Merger qualifies as a “plan of reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and not subject the holders of equity securities of the Company to tax liability under the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Acquisition Subsidiary shall merge with and into the Company at the Effective Time (as defined below). From and after the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The “Effective Time” shall be the time at which the Certificate of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) and other appropriate or required documents prepared and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “GCL”) are filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the GCL, including Sections 251, 259, 260 and 261 of the GCL.

1.2 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Gottbetter & Partners, LLP in New York, New York commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time on , 2007, or, if all of the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby have not been satisfied or waived by such date, on such mutually agreeable later date as soon as practicable (and in any event not later than three (3) business days) after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions (excluding the delivery of any documents to be delivered at the Closing by any of the Parties) set forth in Article V hereof (the “Closing Date”).

1.3 Actions at the Closing. At the Closing:

(e) the Parent agrees to promptly deliver certificates for the Initial Shares (as defined below) to each Company Stockholder in accordance with Section 1.5;

(f) the Parent shall deliver to the Company (i) evidence that the Parent’s board of directors is authorized to consist of five individuals, (ii) the resignations of all individuals who served as directors and/or officers of the Parent immediately prior to the Closing Date, which resignations shall be effective as of the Closing Date, (iii) evidence of the appointment of five directors to serve immediately following the Closing Date, four of whom shall have been designated by the Company and one of whom shall be designated by the stockholders of the Parent immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (v) evidence of the appointment of such executive officers of the Parent to serve immediately upon the Closing Date as shall have been designated by the Company; and

-2-

(g) the Parent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Indemnification Representative”) and Gottbetter & Partners, LLP (the “Escrow Agent”) shall execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”) and the Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate for the Escrow Shares (as defined below) being placed in escrow on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.9.

1.4 Additional Actions. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation, its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of either the Company or Acquisition Subsidiary or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and its proper officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized (to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law) to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Acquisition Subsidiary, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Acquisition Subsidiary, all such other acts and things necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of the Company or Acquisition Subsidiary, as applicable, and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

1.5 Conversion of Company and Acquisition Subsidiary Securities. Prior to the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and each issued and outstanding share of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) shall have converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (“Company Shares”), as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended to date. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the following securities:

(a) Each Company Share issued and outstanding, on a fully-diluted basis, immediately prior to the Effective Time (including all shares of Restricted Stock (as defined below) and other than Company Shares owned beneficially by the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary and Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Section 1.6) such number of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) as is equal to the Common Conversion Ratio (as defined below). An aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to the stockholders of the Company and the holders of warrants (“Warrants”) and options (“Options”) to acquire Company Shares, and the holders of Restricted Stock, of which 8,214,523 shares shall be issued to Company Stockholders upon conversion of their Company Shares, as described above, and an aggregate of 785,477 shares shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Parent Options and New Warrants (each as defined below in Sections 1.8(a) and 1.8(d), respectively). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to the Company Stockholders upon conversion of their Company Shares, and the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Parent Options and New Warrants may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.8(e).

-3-

(b) The “Common Conversion Ratio” shall be 0.53991522-for-1. Stockholders of record of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Indemnifying Stockholders”) shall be entitled to receive immediately 95% of the shares of Parent Common Stock into which their Company Shares were converted pursuant to this Section 1.5 (the “Initial Shares”) pro rata in accordance with their respective holdings of Company Shares immediately prior to the Closing; the remaining 5% of the shares of Parent Common Stock into which their Company Shares were converted pursuant to this Section 1.5, rounded to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number) (the “Escrow Shares”), shall be deposited in escrow pursuant to Section 1.9 and shall be held and disposed of in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and, if and as released from escrow, will be distributed to the Company Stockholders pro rata according to their holdings of the Initial Shares as of the Closing. The Initial Shares and the Escrow Shares shall together be referred to herein as the “Merger Shares.”

(c) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock.

1.6 Dissenting Shares.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Dissenting Shares” means Company Shares held as of the Effective Time by a Company Stockholder who has not voted such Company Shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and with respect to which appraisal shall have been duly demanded and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the GCL or Section 13 of the California General Corporation Law (the “California Corporations Code”) and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited prior to the Effective Time. Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock unless such Company Stockholder’s right to appraisal shall have ceased in accordance with Section 262 of the GCL or Section 1309 of the California Corporations Code. If such Company Stockholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then, (i) as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Shares issuable in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 1.5, and (ii) promptly following the occurrence of such event, the Parent shall deliver to such Company Stockholder a certificate representing 95% of the Merger Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.5 (which shares shall be considered Initial Shares for all purposes of this Agreement) and shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate representing the remaining 5% of the Merger Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.5 (which shares shall be considered Escrow Shares for all purposes of this Agreement).

-4-

(b) The Company shall give the Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received by the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Shares or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

1.7 Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Initial Shares shall be issued to Company Stockholders on the surrender for exchange of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Shares converted into Merger Shares pursuant to Section 1.5 (“Certificates”) and such Company Stockholders shall not be entitled to any voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or distributions or other rights as a stockholder of the Parent with respect to any fractional Initial Shares that would have otherwise been issued to such Company Stockholders. In lieu of any fractional Initial Shares that would have otherwise been issued, each former Company Stockholder that would have been entitled to receive a fractional Initial Share shall, on proper surrender of such person’s Certificates, receive such whole number of Initial Shares as is equal to the precise number of Initial Shares to which such Company Stockholder would be entitled, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with a fractional interest equal to 0.5 rounded upward to the nearest whole number); provided that each such Company Stockholder shall receive at least one Initial Share.

1.8 Options and Warrants.

(a) As of the Effective Time, all Options to purchase Company Shares issued by the Company, whether vested or unvested (the “Old Options”) shall automatically become options to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Options”) without further action by the holder thereof. The Parent Option shall constitute an option to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of Company Shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Old Option multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded to the nearest whole number, and with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each Parent Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the Old Option divided by the Common Conversion Ratio and the terms of such Parent Options shall otherwise remain the same. The Parent Options shall be granted under the Company's 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2003 Plan”), which shall be adopted and assumed in writing by the Parent in connection with the Merger, and under the 2003 Plan’s terms, exercisability, vesting schedule, and status as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code, if applicable. It is the intention of the Parties that any Old Options intended to be “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code shall remain incentive stock options as Parent Options.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall take appropriate actions to collect the Options and the agreements evidencing the Options, which shall be deemed to be canceled and shall entitle the holder to exchange the Options for Parent Options.

-5-

(c) 670,035 shares of Parent Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance under the 2003 Plan and shall be issued upon the exercise of the Parent Options in accordance with this Section 1.8. No additional Options shall at any time hereafter be granted under the 2003 Plan.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will solicit the approval of the holder of the Warrants granted pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2007, by and among the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as amended to date (collectively referred to as the “Old Warrants”) to amend his Warrant rights on the following terms: upon the Closing of the Merger, a new Warrant (the “New Warrants”) to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock will be granted to the holder of the Old Warrants that has consented in writing to such amendment representing the number of Company Shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Old Warrant multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio, and otherwise on substantially the same terms as the Old Warrants; provided, that the exercise price of the New Warrants shall be equal to the exercise price of the Old Warrants, divided by the Common Conversion Ratio. 115,442 shares of Parent Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the New Warrants. As of the Effective Time, any and all outstanding Warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled.

(e) In the event that any issued and outstanding Old Options or Old Warrants are exercised prior to the Effective Time, the number of outstanding Company Shares shall be increased by the number of Company Shares issued upon exercise of Old Options or Old Warrants, and the number of outstanding Old Options and Old Warrants shall be reduced by the same number, as applicable. Further, the Common Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted accordingly, resulting in a decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Parent Options and New Warrants, and a proportionate increase in the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to Company Stockholders at the Effective Time. Accordingly, regardless of the exercise of any Old Option or Old Warrant, the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to Company Stockholders, and, upon exercise, to the holders of Parent Options and New Warrants, in connection with the Merger (in accordance with Section 1.5 and this Section 1.8) shall remain 9,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock.

1.9 Escrow. On the Closing Date, the Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate (issued in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee) representing the Escrow Shares, as described in Section 1.5, for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholders set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. The Escrow Shares shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

-6-

1.10 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) The certificate of incorporation of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed.

(b) The bylaws of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed.

1.11 No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, no Company Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as provided herein or by law.

1.12 Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for Initial Shares in accordance with Section 1.5, subject to Section 1.9 and to applicable law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

1.13 Post-Closing Adjustment. In the event that, during the period commencing from the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Parent or the Surviving Corporation incurs any Loss (as defined below) with respect to, in connection with, or arising from any Parent Liabilities (as defined below), then promptly following the filing by the Parent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of a quarterly report relating to the most recent completed quarter for which such determination has been made, the Parent shall issue to the Company Stockholders and/or their designees such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as would result from dividing (x) the whole dollar amount representing such Losses by (y) the PPO Price, rounded to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 shares rounded upwards to the nearest whole number). The limit on the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable under this Section 1.13 shall be 2,000,000 shares. As used in this Section 1.13: (a) “Loss” shall mean any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, reasonable accountants’ fees, and damages and losses, net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Party suffering the Loss with respect thereto; (b) “Claims” shall include, but are not limited to, any claim, notice, suit, action, investigation, other proceedings (whether actual or threatened); and (c) “Parent Liabilities” shall mean all Claims against and liabilities, obligations or indebtedness of any nature whatsoever of Leaseco, whenever accruing, and of the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary, accruing on or before the Closing Date (whether primary, secondary, direct, indirect, liquidated, unliquidated or contingent, matured or unmatured), including, but not limited to (i) any breach by the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary of any of their respective representations or warranties set forth in Article III herein, (ii) any litigation threatened, pending or for which a basis exists against the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (as defined in this Agreement); (iii) any and all outstanding debts owed by the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary; (iv) any and all internal or employee related disputes, arbitrations or administrative proceedings threatened, pending or otherwise outstanding, (v) any and all liens, foreclosures, settlements, or other threatened, pending or otherwise outstanding financial, legal or similar obligations of the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, (vi) any and all Taxes for which Parent or any of its direct or indirect assets may be liable or subject, for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any and all Taxes resulting from or attributable to Parent’s ownership or operation of the Leaseco assets, (vii) any and all Taxes for which Parent or its direct or indirect assets may be liable or subject (including, without limitation, the interests and assets of the Surviving Corporation and any Parent Subsidiary) as a consequence of Parent’s acquisition, formation, capitalization, ownership, and Split-Off of Leaseco, whether related to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or after the Closing Date, and (vii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with effecting the adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.13, as such Parent Liabilities are determined by the Parent’s independent auditors, on a quarterly basis. Any shares of Parent Common Stock that are issued under this Section 1.13 shall be issued to the Company Stockholders pro rata according to their respective holdings of the Initial Shares.

-7-

1.14 Exemption From Registration. Parent and the Company intend that the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof or upon exercise of Parent Options and New Warrants granted pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof or upon the provisions of Section 1.13 hereof in each case in connection with the Merger will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder and/or Regulation S promulgated by the SEC.

Each Employee Benefit Plan has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and each of the Parent, the Parent Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates has in all material respects met its obligations with respect to such Employee Benefit Plan and has made all required contributions thereto. The Parent, each Subsidiary of the Parent, each ERISA Affiliate and each Employee Benefit Plan are in compliance in all material respects with the currently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations thereunder (including without limitation Section 4980 B of the Code, Subtitle K, Chapter 100 of the Code and Sections 601 through 608 and Section 701 et seq. of ERISA). All filings and reports as to each Employee Benefit Plan required to have been submitted to the Internal Revenue Service or to the United States Department of Labor have been duly submitted.

(b) To the knowledge of the Parent, there are no Legal Proceedings (except claims for benefits payable in the normal operation of the Employee Benefit Plans and proceedings with respect to qualified domestic relations orders) against or involving any Employee Benefit Plan or asserting any rights or claims to benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan that could give rise to any material liability.

(c) All the Employee Benefit Plans that are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code have received determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such Employee Benefit Plans are qualified and the plans and the trusts related thereto are exempt from federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code, no such determination letter has been revoked and revocation has not been threatened, and no such Employee Benefit Plan has been amended since the date of its most recent determination letter or application therefor in any respect, and no act or omission has occurred, that would adversely affect its qualification or materially increase its cost. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is required to satisfy Section 401(k)(3) or Section 401(m)(2) of the Code has been tested for compliance with, and satisfies the requirements of, Section 401(k)(3) and Section 401(m)(2) of the Code for each plan year ending prior to the Closing Date.

The assets of each Employee Benefit Plan which is funded are reported at their fair market value on the books and records of such Employee Benefit Plan.

(g) No act or omission has occurred and no condition exists with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan maintained by the Parent, any Parent Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate that would subject the Parent, any Parent Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate to (i) any material fine, penalty, tax or liability of any kind imposed under ERISA or the Code or (ii) any contractual indemnification or contribution obligation protecting any fiduciary, insurer or service provider with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.

(h) No Employee Benefit Plan is funded by, associated with or related to a “voluntary employee’s beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

(i) Each Employee Benefit Plan is amendable and terminable unilaterally by the Parent at any time without liability to the Parent as a result thereof and no Employee Benefit Plan, plan documentation or agreement, summary plan description or other written communication distributed generally to employees by its terms prohibits the Parent from amending or terminating any such Employee Benefit Plan.

(j) Section 3.22(j) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule discloses each: (i) agreement with any stockholder, director, executive officer or other key employee of the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (A) the benefits of which are contingent, or the terms of which are materially altered, upon the occurrence of a transaction involving the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary of the nature of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) providing any term of employment or compensation guarantee or (C) providing severance benefits or other benefits after the termination of employment of such director, executive officer or key employee; (ii) agreement, plan or arrangement under which any person may receive payments from the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary that may be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or included in the determination of such person’s “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code; and (iii) agreement or plan binding the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, including without limitation any stock option plan, stock appreciation right plan, restricted stock plan, stock purchase plan, severance benefit plan or Employee Benefit Plan, any of the benefits of which will be increased, or the vesting of the benefits of which will be accelerated, by the occurrence of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the value of any of the benefits of which will be calculated on the basis of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification by the Company Stockholders. The Indemnifying Stockholders receiving the Merger Shares pursuant to Section 1.5 shall indemnify the Parent in respect of, and hold it harmless against, any and all debts, obligations and other liabilities (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, fixed or otherwise, or whether known or unknown, or due or to become due or otherwise), monetary damages, fines, fees, penalties, interest obligations, deficiencies, losses and expenses (including without limitation amounts paid in settlement, interest, court costs, costs of investigators, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and other experts, and other expenses of litigation) (“Damages”) incurred or suffered by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent or any Affiliate thereof resulting from, relating to or constituting:

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

(b) any failure of any Company Stockholder to have good, valid and marketable title to the issued and outstanding Company Shares issued in the name of such Company Stockholder, free and clear of all Security Interests; or

(c) any claim by a stockholder or former stockholder of the Company, or any other person or entity, seeking to assert, or based upon: (i) ownership or rights to ownership of any shares of stock of the Company; (ii) any rights of a stockholder (other than the right to receive the Merger Shares pursuant to this Agreement or appraisal rights under the applicable provisions of the California Corporations Code or GCL), including any option, preemptive rights or rights to notice or to vote; (iii) any rights under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company; or (iv) any claim that his, her or its shares were wrongfully repurchased by the Company.

6.2 Indemnification by the Parent.

(a) The Parent shall indemnify the Indemnifying Stockholders in respect of, and hold them harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Indemnifying Stockholders resulting from, relating to or constituting any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or the Parent Certificate.

-49-

(b) The post-Closing adjustment mechanism set forth in Section 1.13 is intended to secure the indemnification obligations of the Parent under this Agreement and shall be the exclusive means for the Indemnifying Stockholders to collect any Damages for which they are entitled to indemnification under this Article VI.

6.3 Indemnification Claims by the Parent.

(a) In the event the Parent is entitled, or seeks to assert rights, to indemnification under Section 6.1, Parent shall give written notification to the Indemnification Representative of the commencement of any suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article VI may be sought. Such notification shall be given within 20 business days after receipt by the Parent of notice of such suit or proceeding, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Parent) the facts constituting the basis for such suit or proceeding and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Parent in notifying the Indemnification Representative shall relieve the Indemnifying Stockholders of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnification Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, may, upon written notice thereof to the Parent, assume control of the defense of such suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Parent; provided that the Indemnification Representative may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Parent. If the Indemnification Representative does not so assume control of such defense, the Parent shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnification Representative assumes control of such defense and the Parent reasonably concludes that the Indemnification Representative and the Parent have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Parent shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such suit or proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such suit or proceeding. The Indemnification Representative shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the Parent shall not be required if the Indemnification Representative agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Parent from further liability and has no other materially adverse effect on the Parent. The Parent shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnification Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

-50-

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, Parent shall give written notification (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnification Representative which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Parent, (ii) a statement that the Parent is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment (in the manner provided in paragraph (c) below) in the amount of such Claimed Amount. The Parent shall also deliver a copy of the Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent.

(c) Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnification Representative shall deliver to the Parent a written response (the “Response”) in which Indemnification Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders, shall: (i) agree that the Parent is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Indemnification Representative and the Parent 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 the Parent such number of Escrow Shares as have an aggregate Value (as defined below) equal to the Claimed Amount), (ii) agree that the Parent is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case the Indemnification Representative and the Parent 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 the Parent such number of Escrow Shares as have an aggregate Value (as defined below) equal to the Agreed Amount), or (iii) dispute that the Parent is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnification Representative in the Response disputes its liability for all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnification Representative and the Parent shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.3(d) for the resolution of such dispute (a “Dispute”). For purposes of this Article VI, the “Value” of any Escrow Shares delivered in satisfaction of an indemnity claim shall be $1.50 per Escrow Share (subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Parent Common Stock since the Closing Date), multiplied by the number of such Escrow Shares.

(d) During the 60-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Indemnification Representative and the Parent shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, the Indemnification Representative and the Parent shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution procedure (which may be non-binding or binding upon the parties, as they agree in advance) (the “ADR Procedure”). In the event the Indemnification Representative and the Parent agree upon an ADR Procedure, such parties shall, in consultation with the chosen dispute resolution service (the “ADR Service”), promptly agree upon a format and timetable for the ADR Procedure, agree upon the rules applicable to the ADR Procedure, and promptly undertake the ADR Procedure. The provisions of this Section 6.3(d) shall not obligate the Indemnification Representative and the Parent to pursue an ADR Procedure or prevent either such party from pursuing the Dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if the Indemnification Representative and the Parent agree to pursue an ADR Procedure, neither the Indemnification Representative nor the Parent may commence litigation or seek other remedies with respect to the Dispute prior to the completion of such ADR Procedure. Any ADR Procedure undertaken by the Indemnification Representative and the Parent shall be considered a compromise negotiation for purposes of federal and state rules of evidence, and all statements, offers, opinions and disclosures (whether written or oral) made in the course of the ADR Procedure by or on behalf of the Indemnification Representative, or any of the Indemnifying Stockholders, the Parent or the ADR Service shall be treated as confidential and, where appropriate, as privileged work product. Such statements, offers, opinions and disclosures shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes in any litigation or other proceeding relating to the Dispute (provided that this sentence shall not be construed to exclude from discovery or admission any matter that is otherwise discoverable or admissible). The fees and expenses of any ADR Service used by the Indemnification Representative and the Parent shall be considered Damages; provided, that if the Indemnifying Stockholders are determined not to be liable for Damages in connection with such Dispute, the Parent shall pay all such fees and expenses. The Parent and the Indemnification Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, pursuant to an ADR Procedure, as a result of a judicial decision or otherwise), a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the Escrow Shares shall be distributed to the Parent (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute).

-51-

(e) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.3, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that the Parent is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages for which such Parent may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, and the Parent reasonably determines in good faith that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) Parent shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, with prior notice to but without prior consent from the Indemnification Representative, (ii) Parent may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, and (iii) Parent shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Stockholders to dispute the Parent’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VI).

(f) For purposes of this Section 6.3 and the last two sentences of Section 6.4, any references to the Indemnifying Stockholders (except provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments provided for in Section 6.3 or Section 6.4) shall be deemed to refer to the Indemnification Representative. The Indemnification Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Indemnifying Stockholder to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Indemnifying Stockholders under this Article VI. The Indemnification Representative shall have no liability to any Indemnifying Stockholder for any action taken or omitted on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders pursuant to this Article VI.

-52-

6.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Company Certificate or the Parent Certificate shall (a) survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of Parent or the Company and (b) shall expire on the date two years following the Closing Date. If Parent delivers to an Indemnifying Stockholders, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result a legal proceeding instituted by or written claim made by a third party, the Parent reasonably expects to incur Damages as a result of a breach of such representation or warranty (an “Expected Claim Notice”), then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such Expected Claim Notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Parent, the Parent shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying Stockholders; and if the Parent has delivered a copy of the Expected Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent and Escrow Shares have been retained in escrow after the Termination Date (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to such Expected Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Stockholders and the Parent shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute such retained Escrow Shares to the Indemnifying Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

6.5 Limitations on Parent’s Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent shall not be entitled to recover, or be indemnified for, Damages arising out of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty set forth in Article II unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages paid or payable by the Indemnifying Stockholders collectively exceeds $100,000.00 (the “Damages Threshold”) and then, if such aggregate threshold is reached, the Parent shall only be entitled to recover for Damages in excess of such respective threshold; and in no event shall any Indemnifying Stockholder be liable under this Article VI for an aggregate amount, whether paid in cash or in shares of Parent Common Stock, greater than the product of the number of Escrow Shares held on account of such Indemnifying Stockholder, pursuant to Section 1.5 above, multiplied by the Value. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each Escrow Share delivered by a party in payment of his or its obligations under this Article VI shall be valued at the Value.

(b) The Escrow Agreement is intended to secure the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholders under this Agreement and shall be the exclusive means for the Parent to collect any Damages under this Article VI for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI.

-53-

(c) Except with respect to claims based on fraud, after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnifying Stockholders and the Parent under this Article VI and the Escrow Agreement shall be the exclusive remedy of the Indemnifying Stockholders and the Parent with respect to claims under Section 6.1.

(d) No Indemnifying Stockholder shall have any right of contribution against the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements. The amount of Damages recoverable by Parent under this Article VI with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by (i) any proceeds received by Parent with respect to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates, from an insurance carrier and (ii) the amount of any tax savings actually realized by Parent, for the tax year in which such Damages are incurred, which are clearly attributable to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates (net of any increased tax liability which may result from the receipt of the indemnity payment or any insurance proceeds relating to such Damages).

9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of New York.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the Parties.

If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.

Each of the Parties (a) submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the County of New York in the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court.

Any Party may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.7.
