THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 6, 2006, by and among Raindance Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Raindance”), West Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“West”), and Rockies Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of West (“Merger Sub”).

Preamble

The Boards of Directors of Raindance, Merger Sub and West have approved this Agreement and the transactions described herein. This Agreement provides for the acquisition of Raindance by West pursuant to the merger of Merger Sub with and into Raindance.

Certain terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Section 7.1.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
TRANSACTIONS AND TERMS OF MERGER

1.1 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Raindance in accordance with the provisions of Section 251 of the DGCL and with the effect provided in Section 259 of the DGCL (the “Merger”). Raindance shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) resulting from the Merger, shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware, shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of West, and the separate corporate existence of Raindance with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by Merger.

1.2 Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at such time and place as West and Raindance shall agree, on the date when the Effective Time is to occur (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the second business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 5 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), unless another time or date, or both, are agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto.

1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Parties will cause a certificate of merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided in Section 251 of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger shall take effect when the Certificate of Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Effect on Raindance Common Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, in each case subject to Section 1.4(d), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holder thereof, each share of Raindance Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Raindance Common Stock held by any Party or any Subsidiary of a Party (in each case other than shares of Raindance Common Stock held on behalf of third parties) or shares of the Common Stock (the

“Dissenting Shares”) that are owned by stockholders properly exercising their appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL) shall be converted into the right to receive $2.70 (the “Per Share Purchase Price”) in cash, less any applicable withholding Taxes (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) At the Effective Time, all shares of Raindance Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate or electronic book-entry previously representing any such shares of Raindance Common Stock (the “Certificates”) shall thereafter represent only the right to the Merger Consideration and any Dissenting Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive applicable payments as set forth in Section 2.3.

(c) If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Raindance Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Per Share Purchase Price.

(d) Each share of Raindance Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries (in each case other than shares of Raindance Common Stock held on behalf of third parties) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefore and shall cease to exist (together with the Dissenting Shares, the “Excluded Shares”).

1.5 West Common Stock and Merger Sub Common Stock.

(a) At and after the Effective Time, each share of West Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of West Common Stock and shall not be affected by the Merger.

(b) At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Raindance Options and Other Incentive Awards.

(a) As of the Effective Time, each Raindance Option then outstanding shall, subject to Section 1.6(a) of Raindance’s Disclosure Letter, become fully vested and exercisable. Each holder of a Raindance Option shall be given the opportunity to exercise such Raindance Option, effective as of the Effective Time and contingent upon the Closing, and thereby to become a stockholder of Raindance entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions hereof. Each Raindance Option outstanding as of the Effective Time that is not exercised as provided in this Section 1.6(a) shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled, as of the Effective Time, to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Raindance Common Stock subject to such Raindance Option multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the amount of the Per Share Purchase Price over the exercise price per share of Raindance Common Stock under such Raindance Option (with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded down to the nearest cent) less applicable Taxes, if any, required to be withheld with respect to such payment. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, West shall pay, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, the amounts owed pursuant to this Section 1.6(a).

- 2 -

(b) As of the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock award (including restricted stock awards subject to Raindance’s performance-based incentive compensation program) shall, subject to Section 1.6(b) of Raindance’s Disclosure Letter, become fully vested and shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time and in accordance with Section 2.1, an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of the total number of shares of Raindance Common Stock subject to such restricted stock award, multiplied by the Per Share Purchase Price, less applicable Taxes, if any, required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

(c) As full satisfaction of any and all cash bonus arrangements under Raindance’s performance-based incentive compensation program, each individual participant in such program shall receive from the Surviving Corporation, contingent upon, and as promptly as practicable after, the Effective Time, an amount (without interest) determined prior to the Effective Time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Raindance, which amount shall not exceed the amount set forth opposite the participant’s respective name in Section 1.6(c) of Raindance’s Disclosure Letter, less applicable Taxes, if any, required to be withheld with respect to such payment. Raindance shall take all actions necessary to provide that Raindance’s performance-based incentive compensation program shall be terminated, without further obligation of West or the Surviving Corporation, effective as of the Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, West shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to pay the amounts owed pursuant to this Section 1.6(c).

(d) The compensation committee of the Board of Directors of Raindance shall make such adjustments and amendments to or make such determinations with respect to the Raindance Options, restricted stock units and performance-based incentive awards to implement the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.6.

(e) Raindance shall take all actions with respect to the Raindance Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) necessary (a) to provide that the current exercise period scheduled to end on February 15, 2006 (the “Final Exercise Period”) shall end on the earlier of (i) February 15, 2006, or (ii) a date prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the ESPP, (b) to terminate the ESPP as of the Effective Time, and (c) to provide that no new exercise periods shall be commenced under the ESPP following the termination of the Final Exercise Period.

(f) Raindance shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by any Party hereto to cause dispositions of Raindance equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of Raindance to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act in accordance with that certain No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

1.7 Warrants. West shall pay each holder (each a “Warrantholder”) of a warrant to purchase shares of Raindance Common Stock (each, a “Raindance Warrant”), upon surrender of such Warrant, an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of shares of Raindance Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of each Raindance Warrant held by such Warrantholder by (y) the excess, if any, of the amount of the Per Share Purchase Price over the exercise price per share of Raindance Common Stock under such Raindance Warrant (with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded down to the nearest cent) less applicable Taxes, if any, required to be withheld with respect to such payment. No consideration shall be paid for any Raindance Warrant the exercise price per share of Raindance Common Stock under which exceeds the Per Share Purchase Price. Any Raindance Warrant not surrendered for cancellation as provided above shall survive the Merger and shall become a warrant to receive, upon payment of the exercise price provided for

- 3 -

therein, an amount of cash based on the Per Share Purchase Price in accordance with the merger adjustment provisions of each such Raindance Warrant.

1.8 Organizational Documents of Surviving Corporation; Directors and Officers.

(b) The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be a director or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

(c) The persons set forth on Exhibit B shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be an officer.

ARTICLE 2
PAYMENT

2.1 Payment Procedures.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, West shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) appointed by West (with the approval of Raindance), for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates, for exchange in accordance with Article 1 and this Article 2, cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange (the “Exchange Fund”) for outstanding shares of Raindance Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares).

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, West shall send or cause to be sent to each former holder of record of shares of Raindance Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time transmittal materials for use in exchanging such holder’s Certificates for the Merger Consideration (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Paying Agent). Upon the surrender of a Certificate (or effective affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.1(d)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings) of (x) the number of shares of Raindance Common Stock represented by such Certificate (or effective affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) multiplied by (y) the Per Share Purchase Price, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Raindance Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Raindance, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such shares of Raindance Common Stock is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

- 4 -

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Paying Agent nor any Party shall be liable to any former holder of Raindance Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(d) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Paying Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, West or the Paying Agent shall, in exchange for the shares of Raindance Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, pay or cause to be paid the amounts, if any, deliverable in respect to the shares of Raindance Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Raindance Common Stock for 12 months after the Effective Time shall be returned to West. Any holders of Raindance Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to West for payment of the consideration deliverable in respect of each share of Raindance Common Stock such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon.

2.2 Rights of Former Raindance Stockholders. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Raindance shall be closed as to holders of Raindance Common Stock and no transfer of Raindance Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Excluded Shares) shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in exchange therefor.

2.3 Dissenters’ Rights. Any Person who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Stockholder shall not be entitled to receive the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Raindance Common Stock owned by such Person unless and until such Person shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to dissent from the Merger under the DGCL. Each Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to shares of Raindance Common Stock owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. Raindance shall give West (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by Raindance relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under the DGCL. Raindance shall not, except with the prior written consent of West, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisals of Dissenting Shares, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Raindance has responded to all comment letters of the SEC Staff received as of the date hereof relating to the SEC Reports, and prior to the date hereof the SEC Staff has not advised Raindance that any final responses are inadequate, insufficient or otherwise non-responsive. Raindance has made available to West correct and complete copies of

- 8 -

all correspondence between the SEC and Raindance (or any Raindance Subsidiary) between December 31, 2002 and the date of this Agreement and will, promptly following the receipt thereof, provide to West any such correspondence sent or received after the date hereof. To the Knowledge of Raindance, no SEC Report filed before the date hereof is, as of the date hereof, the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comment.

(iv) Raindance has been and is in compliance in all material respects with (i) the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq and (ii) the applicable provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 and related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act”) since the enactment of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act.

Neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has any “obligation to contribute” (as defined in ERISA Section 4212) to a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in ERISA Sections 4001(a)(3) and 3(37)(A)). Each “employee pension benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, that was ever maintained by it or any of its Subsidiaries and that was intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, is disclosed as such in Section 3.3(k)(i) of its Disclosure Letter.

With respect to each of its Benefit Plans, to its Knowledge, no event has occurred which will or could reasonably give rise to a loss of any intended Tax consequences under the Internal Revenue Code or to any Tax under Section 511 of the Internal Revenue Code that is reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect on it. There is no pending or, to its Knowledge, threatened Litigation relating to any of its ERISA Plans.

Neither it nor, to its Knowledge, any administrator or fiduciary of any of its Benefit Plans (or any agent of any of the foregoing), has engaged in any transaction, or acted or failed to act in any manner with respect to any of its Benefit Plans which could subject it to any direct or indirect Liability (by indemnity or otherwise) for breach of any fiduciary, co-

- 13 -

(v) Each of its Pension Plans had, as of the date of its most recent actuarial valuation, assets measured at fair market value at least equal to its “current liability,” as that term is defined in Section 302(d)(7) of ERISA. Since the date of the most recent actuarial valuation, no event has occurred which would be reasonably expected to adversely change any such funded status in a way that is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on it. None of its Pension Plans nor any “single-employer plan,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently maintained by it or any of its Subsidiaries, or the single-employer plan of any ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” within the meaning of Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA. All required contributions with respect to any of its Pension Plans or any single-employer plan of any of its ERISA Affiliates have been timely made and there is no lien, nor is there expected to be a lien, under Internal Revenue Code Section 412(n) or ERISA Section 302(f) or Tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 4971.

(viii) Except as set forth in Section 1.6 or in Section 4.2(h) of its Disclosure Letter, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, (A) result in any payment (including severance, golden parachute, or otherwise) becoming due to any of its or its Subsidiaries’ directors or employees from it or any of its Subsidiaries under any of its Benefit Plans or otherwise, other than by operation of Law, (B) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any of its Benefit Plans, or (C) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefit.

(a) Raindance agrees that it will not, and will cause its directors, officers, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys and accountants not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to

- 24 -

cause its employees and other agents not to (it being understood that once Raindance discovers that any employee or other agent has engaged in activity that violates this Section 4.9(a), it shall promptly cause such employee or other agent to cease such activity), (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals with respect to, (ii) engage or participate in any negotiations concerning, (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or provide access to its properties, books, records or personnel to, (iv) have or participate in any discussions with, or (v) exempt from the restrictions contained in any Takeover Laws, including Section 203 of the DGCL, any Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event Raindance receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal at any time prior to, but not after, the time this Agreement is adopted by the Raindance Stockholder Approval, and Raindance’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, Raindance may, and may permit its officers and Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished nonpublic information or data, provide access to its properties, books, records or personnel, exempt from the restrictions contained in any Takeover Laws, including Section 203 of the DGCL, the Person submitting such Acquisition Proposal, modify, waive, amend or release any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreements, and participate in such negotiations or discussions to the extent that the Board of Directors of Raindance concludes in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that failure to take such actions would violate its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided further, that prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso, it shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to it than the terms currently in effect in the Confidentiality Agreement. Raindance will (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any Persons other than West with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to such parties or their Representatives between January 1, 2005 and the date of this Agreement and (ii) except as provided above in this Section 4.4(a), not modify, waive, amend or release any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreements entered into with such parties. Raindance shall promptly (within two days) advise West following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal), and will keep West apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations on a current basis.

(b) If, in response to an Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited by Raindance and which did not otherwise result from a breach of Section 4.9(a) (an “Outside Proposal”), the Board of Directors of Raindance concludes in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that notwithstanding this Agreement and any concessions which may be offered by West in negotiations entered into pursuant to the following sentence, such Outside Proposal is a Superior Proposal the Board of Directors of Raindance may (subject to this and the following two sentences) terminate this Agreement (and concurrently with or after such termination, if it so chooses, cause Raindance to enter into a letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, merger, acquisition, purchase or joint venture agreement or other agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal that prompted such termination), but only at a time that is prior to the time this Agreement is adopted by the Raindance Stockholder Approval and after the second business day following West’s receipt of written notice advising West that the Board of Directors of Raindance is prepared to accept such Outside Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Outside Proposal and identifying the person making such Outside Proposal. If requested by West in response to a notice advising West that the Board of Directors of Raindance is prepared to accept such Outside Proposal, during the two business day period referred to in the preceding sentence, Raindance shall, and shall cause its directors, officers, investment bankers, financial advisors, and attorneys to, negotiate in good faith with West to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Board of Directors to proceed with the transactions contemplated herein on such adjusted

- 25 -

terms (any proposal from West based on such adjusted terms being referred to as the “Adjusted West Proposal”). No withdrawal or modification of the Directors’ Recommendation or acceptance of an Outside Proposal shall change the approval of the Raindance Board of Directors for purposes of causing any Takeover Laws to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Raindance or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the 1934 Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, if such disclosure has the effect of withdrawing or modifying the Directors’ Recommendation in a manner adverse to West, West shall have the right to terminate this Agreement to the extent set forth in Section 6.1(e) and such withdrawal or modification must comply with Section 4.4.

4.10 Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, Raindance and the members of its Board of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary (other than any action requiring the approval of its stockholders (other than as contemplated by Section 4.4)) so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Law on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 4.11, Benefit Plans maintained by West are deemed to include Benefit Plans maintained by its Subsidiaries. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, Raindance’s Board of Directors shall adopt resolutions terminating all Benefit Plans that are intended to qualify under section 401(a) of the Code.

(b) For purposes of participation and vesting (but not accrual of benefits) under Benefit Plans maintained by West, service with Raindance or any of its predecessors shall be treated as service with West. West shall cause welfare Benefit Plans maintained by West that cover the Continuing Employees after the Effective Time to (A) waive any waiting period and restrictions and limitations for preexisting conditions or insurability (except for pre-existing conditions that were excluded under welfare Benefit Plans maintained by Raindance), and (B) cause any deductible, co-insurance, or maximum out-of-pocket payments made by the Continuing Employees under welfare Benefit Plans maintained by Raindance to be credited to such Continuing Employees under welfare Benefit Plans maintained by West, so as to reduce the amount of any deductible, co-insurance, or maximum out-of-pocket payments payable by the Continuing Employees under welfare Benefit Plans maintained by West.

4.12 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, in the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative, in which any Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of Raindance (each an “Indemnified Party”) is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, or employee of Raindance or any of its predecessors, or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, West shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the same extent such Indemnified Parties are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses pursuant to the Organizational Documents of Raindance and indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement with Raindance or its Subsidiaries and disclosed in Raindance’s Disclosure Letter, and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each such Indemnified Party against any Liability (including advancement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses prior to the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding, or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable Law), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation.

(b) West agrees that all rights to indemnification and all limitations on Liability existing in favor of the directors, officers, and employees of Raindance (the “Covered Parties”) as provided in their respective Organizational Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement or in any indemnification agreement in existence on the date of this Agreement with Raindance and disclosed in Raindance’s Disclosure Letter with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect, and West shall cause such rights to indemnification and limitations on Liability to be honored by such entities or their respective successors as if they were the indemnifying party thereunder, without any amendment thereto; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 4.12(b) shall be deemed to preclude the liquidation, consolidation, or merger of the Surviving Corporation, in which case all of such rights to indemnification and limitations on Liability shall be deemed to so survive and continue notwithstanding any such liquidation, consolidation, or merger. Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which approval by the Surviving Corporation is required to effectuate any indemnification, the Surviving Corporation shall direct, at the election of the Indemnified Party, that the determination of any such approval shall be made by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between West and the Indemnified Party.

(c) West, from and after the Effective Time, will directly or indirectly cause the Persons who served as directors or officers of Raindance at or before the Effective Time to be covered by Raindance’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or by “tail” insurance policies with at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous than Raindance’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy; provided, that West may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous than such policy; provided further, that in no event shall West or any of its Subsidiaries be required to expend for premiums applicable to coverage in any one year an amount in excess of 150% of the current annual premium paid by Raindance (as set forth in Section 4.12 of Raindance’s Disclosure Letter) for such insurance; provided, further that if the annual premiums of such

ARTICLE I. STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1 Annual Meetings

An annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, either within or without the state of Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

Section 1.2 Special Meetings

Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, or by a committee of the Board of Directors which has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority, as expressly provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors, include the power to call such meetings.

Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings

Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

Section 1.4 Adjournments

Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.5 Quorum

A-B-1

Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, at each meeting of the stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.4 of these bylaws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 1.6 Organization

Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the President, or in his absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 1.7 Voting; Proxies

Except as otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be conducted by inspectors of election unless so determined by the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or by proxy at such meeting.

Section 1.8 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board

A-B-2

of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date: (1) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting; (2) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, shall not be more than ten days from the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors; and (3) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (2) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board of Directions is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (3) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.9 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote

The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.

The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the directors to produce such a list at any meeting for the election of directors, they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such meeting. The stock shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 1.10 Action by Consent of Stockholders

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without

A-B-3

a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
