- 5 -

(d) If applicable, any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed by the Exchange Agent to Company Stockholders as of the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date or any portion of the Escrow Fund that remains undistributed as of the date that is 180 days after the deposit by the Escrow Agent of any portion of the Escrow Fund with the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 2.4 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c).

(e) As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall not be any further registration of transfers of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or, if applicable, the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.4. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of a Company Stock Certificate.

(f) In the event any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c), with respect to the Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed to provide an appropriate affidavit and to, if reasonably requested by Parent, deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a Company Stock Certificate or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property laws, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement. Any portion of the Payment Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Stock Certificates three years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body and any portion of the Escrow Fund that remains undistributed three years after the deposit by the Escrow Agent of such amount with the Exchange Agent (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Parent.

2.5 Escrow and Release from Escrow of Merger Consideration.

(a) Upon the Closing, Parent shall:

(i) deposit $2,150,000 (the “Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Amount”) of the Merger Consideration in an escrow account (the “Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Fund”) to be administered and held exclusively by U.S. Bank (the “Escrow Agent”). The Non-Appraisal Escrow Fund shall be held pursuant to the provisions of an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D (the “Escrow Agreement”);

- 6 -

(ii) deposit $120,000 (the “Appraisal Right Escrow Amount”) in a separately designated escrow account (the “Appraisal Right Escrow Fund”), to be administered and held exclusively by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement; and

(iii) deposit $215,000 (the “Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount”, together with the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Amount and Appraisal Right Escrow Amount, the “Escrow Amount”) in a separately designated escrow account (the “Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund”, and together with the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Fund and the Appraisal Right Escrow Fund, the “Escrow Fund”), to be administered and held exclusively by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Appraisal Right Escrow Fund shall be held in the name of the Escrow Agent as collateral to secure the rights of the Parent Indemnitees in connection with any Appraisal Right Indemnification Liability for a period of time ending twenty (20) days following the Company’s mailing of a notice under Section 262 of the DGCL to the Company Stockholders (the “Appraisal Rights Indemnification Claim Period “).

(c) The Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Fund shall be held in the name of the Escrow Agent as collateral to secure the rights of the Parent Indemnitees under Section 10 (other than with respect to any Appraisal Right Indemnification Liability) hereof for a period of time ending on the date that is fifteen months after the Closing Date (the “Non-Appraisal Right Indemnification Claim Period”, and together with the Appraisal Right Escrow Claim Period, the “Escrow Claim Periods” and each, an “Escrow Claim Period”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to contrary in Sections 2.5(b) and 2.5(c), if a Parent Indemnitee has timely made a claim in accordance with the terms of Section 10 that remains unresolved at the end of the applicable Escrow Claim Period, then such claim shall survive the end of such Escrow Claim Period until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. If on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Escrow Claim Period, any Parent Indemnitee has made an Indemnification Demand containing a claim which has not been resolved prior to the expiration of such Escrow Claim Period in accordance with Section 10 and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall retain in the applicable Escrow Fund after the expiration of the applicable Escrow Claim Period, such Escrow Funds having an aggregate value equal to the Asserted Damages Amount or contested portion of the Asserted Damages Amount, as the case may be, with respect to all claims which have not then been resolved with respect to such Escrow Fund.

(e) In the event that this Agreement is approved by the Company Stockholders, then Escrow Contributors shall, without any further act of any Escrow Contributor, be deemed to have consented to and approved (i) the use of the each Escrow Fund as collateral to secure the rights of the Parent Indemnitees under Section 10 in the manner set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative as the representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement of the Persons receiving Merger Consideration under this Agreement and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each such Person (other than holders of Dissenting Shares).

- 7 -

(a) Each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the holder of which did not consent to or vote in favor of the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (or otherwise waive its right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL) and who has complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise of appraisal rights, is referred to herein as a “Dissenting Share”.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any shares of Company Capital Stock that, as of the Effective Time, are or may become Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(c), but rather shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if the status of any such shares as Dissenting Shares shall not be perfected, or if any such shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the time of the failure to perfect such status or the loss of such status, such shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares) Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(c).

(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal of any Dissenting Shares received by the Company prior to the Effective Time, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Parent shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

2.7 Merger Consideration Spreadsheet.

(a) Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the information set forth in the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet with respect to distribution of the Merger Consideration, and no Person shall have any cause of action against Parent or the Exchange Agent for any action taken by Parent or the Exchange Agent in accordance with and in reliance upon any such information.

(b) The Company shall deliver to Parent at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date a spreadsheet (the “Merger Consideration Spreadsheet”) setting forth: (A) (i) the name and address of each Company Stockholder, (ii) the number of shares and class of Company Capital Stock held by each such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) the aggregate Merger Consideration that each such Company Stockholder is entitled to receive with respect to such shares pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and (iv) the aggregate portion of the Escrow Funds that each Company Stockholder may be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c) as of the Closing Date, such aggregate portion determined by reference to the aggregate amount contributed to the Escrow Funds by each such Company Stockholder that receives a portion of the Merger Consideration

- 8 -

The Closing Working Capital Schedule shall be prepared in good faith by the Company and in accordance with this Section 2.7 and GAAP and based on the same accounting principles, policies, practices, procedures, classifications, judgments and estimation methodologies consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements as set forth on Schedule 2.8(a) (the “Company Accounting Policies”), but only to the extent such Company Accounting Policies are in accordance with GAAP and the sample Working Capital Schedule as of November 30, 2008 set forth on Schedule 2.8(b) (the “Sample Working Capital Schedule”).

(b) As soon as practicable (and in any event within seventy five (75) days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by a schedule (the “Parent Working Capital Schedule”) which shall set forth in reasonable detail Parent’s calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Parent Proposed Working Capital Amount”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Parent Proposed Working Capital Amount shall be prepared in accordance with the Company Accounting Policies (to the extent such Company Accounting Policies are in accordance with GAAP) and the Sample Working Capital Schedule.

(c) Following the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet to the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative and its accountants, at the request of the Stockholders’ Representative, with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation as well as any relevant work papers of Parent, the Company and their accountants generated in preparing the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Parent Working Capital Schedule as may reasonably be required for the review of the calculation of the Parent Proposed Working Capital Amount.

(d) If the Stockholders’ Representative has any objections to the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Parent Working Capital Schedule or the Parent Proposed Working Capital Amount set forth therein, it shall deliver to Parent a statement describing its objections with respect thereto (the “Objection Notice”) within forty five (45) days after the Stockholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Parent Working Capital Schedule and the Parent Proposed Working Capital Amount set forth therein. The Stockholders’ Representative shall include in the Objection Notice a reasonably detailed calculation of the Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date as (the “Stockholders’ Representative Proposed Working Capital Amount”), accompanied by a reasonably detailed description of the bases for any variances between the Parent Proposed Working Capital Deficit Amount and the Stockholders’ Representative Proposed Working Capital Deficit Amount. If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver an Objection Notice within forty five (45) days after the Stockholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Closing Date Balance and the Parent Working Capital Schedule, the Parent Proposed Working Capital Amount shall be deemed the Final Working Capital Amount. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the Objection Notice to Parent within such forty five (45) day period, and Parent disagrees with the Stockholders’ Representative’s objection, then Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative will, during the thirty (30) day period following the date of the Objection Notice (the “Resolution Period”), use reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objection themselves, the Company Accounting Policies (to the extent such Company Accounting Policies are in accordance with GAAP) and Sample Working Capital Schedule to be applied to the resolution of any such objection.

(e) If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, the parties have not reached an agreement on the Stockholders’ Representative’s objections set forth in any Objection Notice, then all amounts and issues remaining in dispute may, at the election of either party, be submitted by the Stockholders’ Representative or Parent to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Neutral Auditor”). The fees and disbursements of the Neutral Auditor shall be borne by Parent and the Escrow Contributors in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Neutral Auditor, which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Neutral Auditor at the time the determination of the Neutral Auditor is rendered pursuant to this Section 2.8(e). The Neutral Auditor shall act as an arbitrator to determine only those issues still in dispute at the time of the election by either party to submit the objections to the Neutral Auditor, which shall be limited to the determination of the Company’s Working Capital as of the Closing Date and whether and to what extent (if any) there is a Working Capital Adjustment. The Neutral Auditor’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days after its engagement (which engagement shall be made no later than ten (10) business days after the time of the election by either Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative to submit the objections to the Neutral Auditor), or as soon thereafter as possible, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative and shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for all purposes under this Agreement. The term “Final Working Capital Amount” shall mean (A) if the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver an Objection Notice and within the sixty (60) day period set forth in Section 2.8(d), the Parent Proposed Working Capital

2.9 Carve-Out Plan.

(a) Subject to Section 2.9(b) and subject to Section 5.5(c), on the Closing Date, Parent shall pay (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent to pay) the amount set forth opposite each Carve-Out Participant’s name on the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet pursuant to the Carve-Out Plan (the aggregate amount payable to all Carve-Out Participants under the Carve-Out Plan, the “Carve-Out Amount”) less an amount equal to the Carve-Out Amount payable to such Carve-Out Participant multiplied by the Escrow Percentage, which amount will be placed in the Escrow Fund pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and which amount will be released when and if such disbursements are required to be made pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. All payments to the Carve-Out Participants shall be subject to deduction and withholding by Parent (or any Subsidiary of Parent, as applicable) of all applicable social security, Medicare and any other withholding required by applicable law to be made in respect of the amounts payable to the Carve-Out Participants.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to Closing, the Company shall send each Carve-Out Participant a notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Carve-Out Notice”), and, provided further, that Parent shall be under no obligation to pay a Carve-Out Participant the amounts set forth next to such Carve-Out Participant’s name on the Merger Consideration Schedule until such time as the Carve-Out Participant indicates unqualified agreement (which determination shall be made in the sole and reasonable discretion of the Parent) with the information set forth on the Carve-Out Notice, and provided further, that in the event a Carve-Out Participant does not respond to the Carve-Out Notice within thirty (30) days of the date Carve-Out Notice is sent, the Carve-Out Payment with respect to such Carve-Out Participant shall be irrevocably forfeited, and the portion of the Merger Consideration allocated to such Carve-Out Participant shall become the property of Parent.

The parties recognize and agree that the representations and warranties also operate as bargained for promises and risk allocation devices and that, accordingly, any party’s Knowledge, and the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification or payment of Damages pursuant to this Section 10, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations, provided, however, that if, after the execution of this Agreement, Company discloses to Parent any breach of a representation and warranty of the Company that constitutes a failure to satisfy Section 7.1 and Parent elects to waive the condition and consummates the transactions to be completed at Closing (regardless of whether such waiver is conditioned upon the Company’s agreement to an amendment or modification to this Agreement), then Parent may not also seek indemnification with respect to the such breach of representation and warranty disclosed by Company to Parent.

(c) For purposes of this Section 10, item of information expressly required by this Agreement to be set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 10 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit any rights or remedy of any Parent Indemnitee for claims based on willful breach, fraud or intentional misrepresentation except that Parent Indemnitee shall not have the right to recover Damages from any Escrow Contributor in excess of the Merger Consideration paid to such Escrow Contributor unless the Escrow Contributor’s own conduct constitutes willful breach, fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

10.2 Indemnification by Company Stockholders.

(a) From and after the Closing Date (but subject to Section 10.1(a)), the Escrow Contributions (individually, an “Indemnitor”, and collectively, the “Indemnitors”), shall severally hold harmless and indemnify each Parent Indemnitee from against, and shall compensate and reimburse each Parent Indemnitee for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Parent Indemnitees or to which any Parent Indemnitee may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise from or as a result of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Compliance Certificate (without giving effect, in each case, to any information provided by the Company pursuant to Section 5.3 except as set forth in Section 10.1(b)), provided that, an Indemnitor shall not be entitled to indemnification for any alleged breach of the second sentence of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.11(g)(vii) unless there is an actual breach of such representation and warranty has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction;

(ii) any breach or alleged breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company or the Stockholders’ Representative set forth in this Agreement (including the covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 6) or any other document, certificate, schedule or instrument delivered or executed in connection herewith (without giving effect, in each case, to any information provided by the Company pursuant to Section 5.3);

(iii) any demands by holders of Company Capital Stock under the DGCL, but only for fees and costs incurred in connection with appraisal proceedings and the extent, if any, to which consideration is paid to the holders of Dissenting Shares in excess of the amounts otherwise payable to any such holders of Company Capital Stock (the “Appraisal Rights Indemnification Liability”); provided that in the event the aggregate amount of Appraisal Rights Indemnification Liability exceeds the Appraisal Right Escrow Amount, the funds, if any, remaining in the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Fund shall be made available to satisfy remaining Appraisal Rights Indemnification Liability;

(iv) any Damages, fees, costs or expenses of, or relating to, the matters set forth on Schedule 10.2(a)(iv) of this Agreement

(v) any Working Capital Deficit Amount and fees, costs and expenses for which Parent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 2.8 or any Company Indebtedness to the extent such Company Indebtedness was not discharged prior to Closing or considered in calculating the Estimated Working Capital Deficit Amount and used to reduce the Merger Consideration payable by Parent at Closing as contemplated by this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed, that all Company Indebtedness and the Company Indebtedness Amount will be deducted dollar for dollar from the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration payable by Parent at the time of Closing, provided that, to the extent any Company Indebtedness or Company Indebtedness Amount remains outstanding after the Closing, the amount of such Company Indebtedness shall be considered a Current Liability in determining the Final Working Capital Deficit Amount and recovered from the Escrow Contributors pursuant to the indemnification and escrow provisions hereof.

(vi) any Legal Proceeding relating to any inaccuracy or breach of the type referred to in clause “(i),” “(ii)” “(iii) or “(iv)” above (including any Legal Proceeding commenced by any Parent Indemnitee for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 10).

- 58 -

(b) Any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section 10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the merger consideration for Tax purposes, unless a final determination with respect to the Parent Indemnitee causes such payment to be treated other than as an adjustment to the amount of the merger consideration for federal income Tax purposes.

(c) In the event the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as a Parent Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

(d) In the event any Parent Indemnitee shall suffer any Damages for which such Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10, subject to the limitations in Section 10.3, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall follow the procedures set forth in Sections 10.5 and 10.6 for handing indemnification claims (both based on third party suits and directly) between the parties (subject to appropriate adjustment for clause (ii) below to reflect that neither the Escrow Agent nor the Escrow Fund will be involved in the resolution of such indemnification claims) and such Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover such Damages by obtaining the amount of Escrow Funds equal in value to the aggregate amount of such Damages, and such recovery shall be made from the Escrow Funds on a basis proportional to the Escrow Funds contributed under the Escrow Agreement by or on behalf of each Escrow Contributor.

10.3 Limitations. Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims that any of the Parent Indemnitees may have against the Company Stockholders based upon, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise in respect of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.3 shall not limit Parent’s ability to enforce its rights under this Agreement by a decree of specific performance or other equitable relief, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.

10.4 No Contribution. The Company Stockholders shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert) any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Company Stockholders may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

10.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. A Parent Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Stockholders’ Representative of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding. Such notification shall be given within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Parent Indemnitee of notice of such Legal Proceeding, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Parent Indemnitee) the facts constituting the basis for such Legal Proceeding and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Parent Indemnitee in so notifying the Parent Indemnitee shall relieve the Parent Indemnitee of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Stockholders’ Representative may, upon written notice thereof to the Parent Indemnitee and

- 59 -

Parent, assume control of the defense of such Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Parent; provided that (i) the Stockholders’ Representative may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Parent Indemnitee and Parent that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Parent Indemnitee in connection with such Legal Proceeding constitute Damages for which the Parent Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10 and (B) the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Damages for which the Indemnitors are liable under this Section 10 and (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative may not assume control of the defense of a Legal Proceeding involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnitors. If the Stockholders’ Representative does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Legal Proceeding, the Parent shall control such defense. The Stockholders’ Representative may participate in such defense at its own expense on behalf of the Indemnitors. The Parent shall keep the Stockholders’ Representative advised of the status of such Legal Proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Stockholders’ Representative with respect thereto. The Stockholders’ Representative shall furnish Parent with such information as it may have with respect to such Legal 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 Parent in the defense of such Legal Proceeding. The fees and expenses of counsel to Parent with respect to a Legal Proceeding shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Parent controls the defense of such Legal Proceeding pursuant to the terms of this section or (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative assumes control of such defense and the Parent Indemnitee reasonably concludes that the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent Indemnitee have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Legal Proceeding. The Stockholders’ Representative or the Parent, as applicable shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10.6 Indemnification Claims.

(a) In order for any Parent Indemnitee to seek indemnification under this Section 10, Parent shall deliver, in good faith, a written demand (an “Indemnification Demand”) to the Stockholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent which contains (i) a reasonably detailed description of the claims for which indemnification is sought and the amount (the “Asserted Damages Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Parent Indemnitee, (ii) a statement that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10 for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of an Indemnification Demand to the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to Parent a written response (the “Response”) in which the Stockholders’ Representative shall either: (i) agree that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive all of the Asserted Damages Amount, in which case the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within five days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both such parties instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the full

- 60 -

Asserted Damages Amount to the extent of the remaining Escrow Funds to Parent; (ii) agree that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Asserted Damages Amount (such portion, the “Agreed Portion”), in which case the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within five days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both such parties instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the Agreed Portion to the extent of the remaining Escrow Funds to Parent; or (iii) dispute that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount.

(c) In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative shall (i) dispute that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount, or (ii) agree that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to only the Agreed Portion of the Asserted Damages Amount, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of the indemnification claims that comprise the Asserted Damages Amount (or the portion of the Asserted Damages Amount not comprising the Agreed Portion). If the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both such parties and shall be promptly furnished to the Escrow Agent. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within sixty (60) days after delivery of a Response, either Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative may demand arbitration of any matter set forth in the applicable Indemnification Demand.

(d) If no agreement is reached, the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative. In the event that, within thirty (30) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then the parties shall arrange for the American Arbitration Association to designate a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any such arbitration shall be held in San Diego County, California, under the rules and procedures then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including the respective expenses of each party, the fees of the arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any indemnification claim in such Indemnification Demand shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and final, binding and conclusive upon the parties. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator. All payments required by the arbitrator shall be made within 30 days after the decision of the arbitrator is rendered. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

- 61 -

(e) In no event shall the Indemnitors be responsible or liable for any Damages or other amounts that are purely speculative in nature.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (but subject to Section 10.3), the Indemnitors under this Agreement shall be liable for only that portion of the aggregate Damages under this Section 10 (in each case, determined after disregarding all “material” or similar qualifications, thresholds or exceptions set forth therein, so that Damages thereunder shall be determined from dollar one) for which they would otherwise be liable which exceeds $170,000, except for Damages relating to the following, which shall be payable from dollar one without regard to the deductible and will not count against the deductible:

(i) any breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3; and

(ii) any Damages, fees, costs or expenses for which a Parent Indemnitee seeks indemnification under Section 10.2(a)(iv) of this Agreement in connection with or in relation to, the matters described in Schedule 10.2(a)(iv) attached hereto.

10.7 Exercise of Remedies by Parent Indemnitees Other Than Parent. No Parent Indemnitee (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

SECTION 11

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

11.1 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) The Company Stockholders, by approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, hereby irrevocably appoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as Stockholders’ Representative, including to act as their agent and attorney-in-fact for purposes of Section 10 and the Escrow Agreement, and consent to the taking by the Stockholders’ Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by him under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (including the exercise of the power to authorize delivery to Parent of the Escrow Funds in satisfaction of claims by Parent or otherwise, agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and demand arbitration, and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims or otherwise, resolve any claims made pursuant to Section 10 and the Escrow Agreement, and to take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing). By his execution of the Escrow Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby accepts his appointment as the Stockholders’ Representative for purposes of Section 10 and the Escrow Agreement. Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Representative on all matters relating to Section 10 and the Escrow Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Company Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or

- 62 -

purported to be taken on behalf of any Company Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Representative, as fully binding upon such Company Stockholder. The rights and obligations of the Stockholders’ Representative shall be as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. If the Stockholders’ Representative shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities as agent of the Company Stockholders, then the Escrow Contributors who held a majority of the voting Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Merger (the “Requisite Former Company Stockholders”) are authorized and shall, within 10 days after such death or disability, appoint a successor agent and, promptly thereafter, shall notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall become the “Stockholders’ Representative” for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If for any reason there is no Stockholders’ Representative at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Requisite Former Company Stockholders.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have no liability to any Company Stockholder, Parent or Surviving Corporation with respect to the execution of his duties and responsibilities, except with respect to gross negligence or willful misconduct. Furthermore, the Indemnitors shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders’ Representative for any (i) Damages (including Damages arising out of the negligence of the Stockholders’ Representative) arising out of the acceptance or administration of the Stockholders’ Representative’s duties hereunder and (ii) reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the fulfillment of the Stockholder’s Representative’s duties and responsibilities. The Indemnitors shall severally and not jointly (indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold the Stockholder’s Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder.

(c) Each Company Stockholder, by his, her or its approval of this Agreement and/or the acceptance of the payments provided hereby, agrees, in addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, that:

(i) Parent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions given or made by, or believed in good faith by Parent to be given or made by, the Stockholders’ Representative as to the settlement of any claims for indemnification by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of them pursuant to Section 10 hereof, or any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholders’ Representative hereunder, and no party shall have any cause of action against Parent for any action taken by Parent in reliance upon any such instructions or decisions;

(ii) all actions, decisions and instructions of the Stockholders’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Company Stockholders and no Company Stockholder shall have any cause of action against the Stockholders’ Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful breach of this Agreement by the Stockholders’ Representative;

(iii) the provisions of this Section 11.1 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Company Stockholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

- 63 -

(iv) remedies available at law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 11.1 are inadequate; therefore, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving damages if Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of them brings an action to enforce the provisions of this Section 11.1; and

(v) The provisions of this Section 11.1 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Company Stockholder.

(d) At the Closing, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount. The Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount (and earnings thereon) may be applied as the Stockholders’ Representative, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate to defray, offset, or pay any charges, fees, costs, liabilities or expenses of the Stockholders’ Representative incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The balance of the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount held pursuant to this Section 11.1(d), if any, and any income earned thereon, shall be deposited into the Non-Appraisal Rights Escrow Fund and distributed to the Escrow Contributors as part of and on the same terms and conditions as the distribution of the Non-Appraisal Rights Escrow Fund, if any, at the end of the Non-Appraisal Rights Indemnification Claim Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the termination of the Non-Appraisal Rights Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow shall only be so distributed when the Stockholders’ Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that such distribution is appropriate; provided, however, that any such distribution shall be at the Escrow Contributors’ expense. Parent and Merger Sub shall have no liability or responsibility to the Escrow Contributors with respect to the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount or the actions and responsibilities of the Stockholders’ Representative contemplated by this Section 11.1(d).

11.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.3 Fees and Expenses. Each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees and accounting fees) that have been incurred or that are incurred by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with or by virtue of (a) the investigation and review conducted by Parent and its Representatives with respect to the Company’s business (and the furnishing of information to Parent and its Representatives in connection with such investigation and review), (b) the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedule) and all agreements, certificates, opinions and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (c) the preparation and submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the obtaining of any Consent required to be obtained in connection with any of such transactions, and (d) the consummation of the Merger.

- 64 -

11.4 Attorneys’ Fees. If any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought against any party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).

11.5 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received when delivered (by hand, by registered mail, by courier or express delivery service or by facsimile) to the address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address or facsimile telephone number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Merger Agreement Parent agrees to deposit cash otherwise payable as Closing Consideration to the Escrow Contributors into three separately designated escrow funds to be held in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Escrow Agent has agreed to hold and administer the Escrow Deposits (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 12

ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW

12.1 Escrow Deposit. Simultaneously with or promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of cash, an aggregate of Two Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,150,000) (the “Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Deposit”), One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000) (the “Appraisal Right Escrow Deposit”) and Two Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($215,000) (the “Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Deposit”). The Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Deposit, the Appraisal Right Escrow Deposit and the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Deposit are each individually an “Escrow Deposit” and collectively, the “Escrow Deposits”. The Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Deposit, together with any investment income or proceeds received by the Escrow Agent from the investment thereof from time to time pursuant to Section 2.1 below,

15.

shall be hereinafter referred to as “Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Property”), the Appraisal Right Escrow Deposit, together with any investment income or proceeds received by the Escrow Agent from the investment thereof from time to time pursuant to Section 2.1 below, shall be hereinafter referred to as “Appraisal Right Escrow Property”) and the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Deposit, together with any investment income or proceeds received by the Escrow Agent from the investment thereof from time to time pursuant to Section 2.1 below, shall be hereinafter referred to as “Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Property”, together with the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Property and Appraisal Right Escrow Property, individually an “Escrow Property” and collectively, the “Escrow Properties”).

12.2 Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Agent agrees to hold each Escrow Property in a separately designated account established with the Escrow Agent (the “Appraisal Right Escrow Account,” “Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Account” and the “Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Account”, respectively, and together, individually an “Escrow Account”, and collectively, the “Escrow Accounts”) and to administer the Escrow Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

12.3 Transferability. The interests of the Escrow Contributors in the Escrow Accounts and in the Escrow Properties shall not be assignable or transferable, other than (a) by operation of law or (b) by the laws of descent and distribution, provided, however, that no such assignment or transfer shall be recognized or given effect until Parent and the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of such assignment or transfer.

12.4 Trust Fund. The Escrow Properties shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Escrow Contributor or of any party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of the Escrow Properties shall be attached, garnished, or levied upon pursuant to judicial process, or the delivery of any portion of the Escrow Properties shall be stayed or enjoined by any arbitration decision or court order, or any arbitration decision or court order shall be made or entered into affecting such portion of the Escrow Properties, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to obey and comply with such arbitration decision or court order. In the event the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any arbitration decision or court order, it shall not be liable to any person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding the subsequent reversal, modification, annulment, or setting aside of such arbitration decision or court order.

SECTION 13

INVESTMENT OF ESCROW PROPERTIES

13.1 Permissible Investments. If the Escrow Agent shall have received specific written investment instruction from the Parent and Stockholders’ Representative (which shall include instructions as to term to maturity, if applicable), on a timely basis, the Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Properties pursuant to and as directed in such instruction. In the absence of written instructions, Escrow Properties will be invested (as authorized in Schedule D attached hereto and made a part hereof) in the Escrow Agent’s:

(a) First American Treasury Obligations Class A Fund;

16.

(b) First American Government Obligations Class A Fund; and

(c) such other investments as Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative may from time to time mutually agree upon in writing executed and delivered by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative to the Escrow Agent.

13.2 Escrow Agent Not Responsible for Investment Decisions. All earnings received from the investment of the Escrow Properties shall be credited to, and shall become a part of, the respective Escrow Properties (and any losses on such investments shall be debited to the applicable Escrow Account). The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any investment losses to the extent it invests the Escrow Properties in compliance with Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

SECTION 14

DISBURSEMENTS OF ESCROW PROPERTIES

14.1 Distributions of Escrow Properties. The Escrow Agent shall only disburse the Escrow Properties in the manner provided in this Article 3.

(a) If any Parent Indemnitee (as defined in Section 14.2. below) asserts a demand against any Escrow Properties in connection with a claim for indemnification as provided under the Merger Agreement, Parent shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4 below. For the avoidance of doubt, no claim may be made by a Parent Indemnitee with respect the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Property, and such Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Property is to be maintained by the Escrow Agent solely for the purpose of reimbursing the costs, fees and expenses of the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

(b) Any disbursements from the Escrow Properties pursuant to this Article 3 shall reduce each Escrow Contributor’s interest in the Escrow Properties in proportion to each such Escrow Contributor’s Escrow Percentage (as set forth on Schedules B-1 and B-2.)

(c) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to transfer:

(i) all or any portion of the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Property or Appraisal Right Escrow Property in accordance with the joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative; and

(ii) all or any portion of the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Property in accordance with written instructions solely from Stockholders’ Representative.

14.2 Distributions upon Expiration of Escrow Claim Periods.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, upon expiration of the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on January 12th, 2008 (the “Appraisal Rights Claim Period”) the Escrow Agent shall reserve from the Appraisal Right Escrow Property the Appraisal Rights Pending Claim Amount (as defined below) and distribute or cause to be distributed the balance

17.

of any remaining Appraisal Rights Escrow Property: (1) in the case of Appraisal Rights Escrow Property owed to the individuals and entities set forth on Exhibit B-1, to US Bank National Association as the Exchange Agent under the Exchange Agent Agreement (or its successor pursuant to that certain Exchange Agent Agreement of even date herewith) (the “Exchange Agent”), to be paid in proportion to such Escrow Contributors Escrow Percentages and (2) in the case of Appraisal Rights Escrow Property owed to the individuals and entities set forth on Exhibit B-2, to Parent for distribution in proportion to such Escrow Contributors Escrow Percentages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Escrow Agent shall not distribute any remaining portion of the Appraisal Rights Escrow Property to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 3.2 until such time as the Final Working Capital Amount has been determined in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Merger Agreement (the occurrence of which shall be communicated to the Escrow Agent in writing by the Interested Parties).

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, upon expiration of the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on March 24, 2010 (the “Non-Appraisal Rights Escrow Claim Period”, together with the Appraisal Rights Claim Period, individually a “Escrow Claim Period”, and collectively, “Escrow Claim Periods”), the Escrow Agent shall reserve from the Non-Appraisal Rights Escrow Property the Non-Appraisal Rights Pending Claim Amount (as defined below) and distribute or cause to be distributed any remaining portion of the balance of any remaining Non-Appraisal Rights Escrow Property: (1) in the case of Appraisal Rights Escrow Property owed to the individuals and entities set forth on Exhibit B-1, to the Exchange Agent, to be paid in proportion to such Escrow Contributors Escrow Percentages and (2) in the case of Appraisal Rights Escrow Property owed to the individuals and entities set forth on Exhibit B-2, to Parent for distribution in proportion to such Escrow Contributors Escrow Percentages.

(c) Upon expiration of the Non-Appraisal Rights Escrow Claim Period, the Escrow Agent shall reserve from the Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Property an amount as specified in writing and properly claimed by the Stockholders’ Representative for reimbursement of such Stockholders’ Representatives fees, costs and expenses under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and distribute or cause to be distributed any remaining portion of the balance of any remaining Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Property: (1) in the case of Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Property owed to the individuals and entities set forth on Exhibit B-1, to the Exchange Agent, to be paid in proportion to such Escrow Contributors Escrow Percentages and (2) in the case of Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Property owed to the individuals and entities set forth on Exhibit B-2, to Parent for distribution in proportion to such Escrow Contributors Escrow Percentages.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Parent has timely made a claim in accordance with this Article 3 that remains unresolved at the end of the applicable Escrow Claim Period, then such claim shall survive the end of such applicable Escrow Claim Period until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. If on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Escrow Claim Period:

(i) Parent has made an Indemnification Demand (as defined in Section 3.4(a), below) containing a claim with respect to the Appraisal Right Escrow Property which has not been resolved prior to the expiration of the Appraisal Rights Claim

18.

Period in accordance with this Article 3, the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Appraisal Right Escrow Account after the expiration of the Appraisal Rights Claim Period, the applicable portion of the Appraisal Right Escrow Property having an aggregate value equal to the Asserted Damages Amount (as defined in Section 3.4(a), below) with respect to the Appraisal Right Escrow Property or contested portion of such Asserted Damages Amount, as the case may be, with respect to all claims which have not then been resolved (a “Appraisal Rights Pending Claim Amount”); and

(ii) Parent has made an Indemnification Demand containing a claim with respect to the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Property which has not been resolved prior to the expiration of the Non-Appraisal Rights Claim Period in accordance with this Article 3, the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Account after the expiration of the Non-Appraisal Rights Claim Period, the applicable portion of the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Property having an aggregate value equal to the Asserted Damages Amount with respect to the Non-Appraisal Right Escrow Property or contested portion of such Asserted Damages Amount, as the case may be, with respect to all claims which have not then been resolved (a “Non-Appraisal Rights Pending Claim Amount” and with the Appraisal Rights Pending Claim Amount, collectively, the “Pending Claim Amount” and each, individually, a “Pending Claim Amount”); and

After the expiration of an applicable Escrow Claim Period, and as any Indemnification Demands with respect to any Pending Claim Amount are fully and finally resolved in accordance with applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to disburse the remaining portions of the Appraisal Rights Escrow Property or Non-Appraisal Rights Escrow Property, as applicable and if any, in accordance with such resolution and to pay to the Exchange Agent (for distribution to the Escrow Contributors) any amount of a Pending Claim Amount in excess of the aggregate amount made the subject of an applicable Pending Claim. The parties hereto expressly agree that upon a final, binding and conclusive arbitration judgment in accordance with Section 10.6 of the Merger Agreement or the entry by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative into a settlement agreement or similar agreement, which results in the final determination of an Indemnification Demand (“Final Determination”), Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) days after the occurrence of a Final Determination) deliver to the Escrow Agent joint written instructions regarding the release of the applicable portion of the Escrow Properties in accordance with such Final Determination.

14.3 It is understood and agreed that, should any dispute arise with respect to the delivery, ownership, right of possession, and/or disposition of any Escrow Properties, or should any claim be made upon the Escrow Agent or any Escrow Properties by a third party, the Escrow Agent upon receipt of notice of such dispute or claim is authorized and shall be entitled (at its sole option and election) to retain in its possession without liability to anyone, all or any of such Escrow Properties until such dispute shall have been settled pursuant to a Final Determination. The Escrow Agent may, but shall be under no duty whatsoever to, institute or defend any legal proceedings which relate to such Escrow Properties.

19.

14.4 Indemnification Claims.

(a) If any Parent Indemnitee desires to seek indemnification under Section 10 of the Merger Agreement and makes a claim against the applicable Escrow Properties with respect thereto, Parent shall deliver, in good faith, a written demand (an “Indemnification Demand”) to the Stockholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Asserted Damages Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Parent Indemnitee, (ii) a statement that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 10 of the Merger Agreement for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor (including an identification of the the applicable Escrow Property and Escrow Account that Parent is pursuing an indemnification claim against), and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Asserted Damages Amount. The Escrow Agent shall not be authorized to release any Escrow Property to any Parent Indemnitee to satisfy the Asserted Damages Amount unless and until the Escrow Agent receives the joint written instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall comply with Section 10.6 of the Merger Agreement in determining what portion, if any, of the Asserted Damages Amount should be paid to Parent from the Escrow Property and thereafter, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall provide joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to disburse Escrow Property in accordance with Section 10.6 of the Merger Agreement.

(c) From time to time, Escrow Agent shall transfer Escrow Property in an Escrow Account to Parent upon the joint instructions of the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent as all or any portion of Parent’s claim subject to an Indemnification Claim is finally settled or arbitrated in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree that upon a Final Determination, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly (but no in event later than five (5) days after the occurrence of such Final Determination) deliver to the Escrow Agent joint, written instructions regarding the release of the applicable Escrow Property in accordance with such Final Determination.

The Escrow Agent shall have the right to deduct from the Escrow Properties (in proportion to the aggregate amount of each Escrow Property then remaining in each Escrow Account), and proceeds thereof, any such sums, upon one Business Day’s notice to the Interested Parties of its intent to do so.

SECTION 16

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

16.1 Each Interested Party acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Agent (i) shall not be responsible for any of the agreements referred to or described herein (including without limitation the Merger Agreement), or for determining or compelling compliance therewith, and shall not otherwise be bound thereby, (ii) shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement on its part to be performed, each of which is ministerial (and shall not be construed to be fiduciary) in nature, and no implied duties or obligations of any kind shall be read into this Agreement against or on the part of the Escrow Agent, (iii) shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder which might in its judgment involve or cause it to incur any expense or liability unless it shall have been furnished with acceptable indemnification, (iv) may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction (including, without limitation, wire transfer instructions, whether incorporated herein or provided in a separate written instruction), instrument, statement, certificate, request or other document furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person, and shall have no responsibility for making inquiry as to or determining the genuineness, accuracy or validity thereof, or of the authority of the person signing or presenting the same, and (v) may consult counsel satisfactory to it, including in-house counsel, and the opinion or advice of such counsel in any instance shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.

16.2 The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder except in the case of the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for indirect, punitive, special or consequential damage or loss (including but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if the Escrow Agent has been informed of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

16.3 The Escrow Agent shall have no more or less responsibility or liability on account of any action or omission of any book-entry depository, securities intermediary or other subescrow agent employed by the Escrow Agent than any such book-entry depository, securities intermediary or other subescrow agent has to the Escrow Agent, except to the extent that such action or omission of any book-entry depository, securities intermediary or other subescrow agent was caused by the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of this Agreement.

21.

16.4 The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or such affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Escrow Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account.
