2.3 Exchange of Certificates; Lost Certificates. The Representative shall act as paying agent in effecting the exchange of Closing Consideration for certificates which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company Common Stock or Preferred Stock entitled to payment pursuant to Section 2.2.

2.4 Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause all outstanding Options, whether or not fully vested or exercisable, to become fully vested and exercisable, and to be terminated and cancelled, at which time each holder of an Option (an “Optionholder”) who has delivered to the Company a duly executed option cancellation agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Option Cancellation Agreement”), shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash equal to the sum of (a) the Per Share Portion of the Closing Consideration less (i) the Option Exercise Price pertaining to such share, less (ii) the amount of any applicable Taxes withheld, and less (iii) the Per Share Portion of the Representative Administrative Amount, plus (b) the Per Share Portion of the Escrow Amount to be distributed to Stockholders and Optionholders pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (less the amount of any applicable Taxes withheld), with no payment of any amount being required when the difference is not a positive number, but such negative amount shall be reduced from such Optionholder’s Per Share Portion in the Escrow Amount, less the amount of any applicable Tax withheld.

such shares in accordance with Section 1574 of the PBCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive a portion of the Stock Merger Consideration. Such Stockholders instead shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company of the “fair value” of such shares of Company Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the PBCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock under Section 1576(a) of the PBCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, a portion of the Stock Merger Consideration determined in accordance with the provisions of the PBCL and this Agreement. The Company shall give Buyer prompt written notice of any demand for appraisal received pursuant to the PBCL.

2.10 Estimated Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses. Not less than three business days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a written statement setting forth (a) its good faith calculation of its estimate (the “Closing Estimates”) of (i) the amount of Indebtedness of the Company which will be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Estimated Indebtedness”) and (ii) Transaction Expenses, and (b) the Representative Administrative Amount, which Closing Estimates and Representative Administrative Amount shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

2.11 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Representative a statement setting forth its calculation of the Final Consideration, including the Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”). During the period following the Representative’s receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement and until the Final Consideration is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Representative and its accountants shall be permitted to review Buyer’s books and records and working papers related to Buyer’s preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon Buyer, the Stockholders and the Optionholders thirty (30) days after the Representative’s receipt thereof, unless the Representative gives written notice of its disagreement (the “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer prior to such date, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and shall only include disagreements based upon mathematical errors or based upon the Preliminary Closing Statement not being prepared in accordance with this Section 2.11 and the related definitions contained herein. If a timely Notice of Disagreement is received by Buyer, then all amounts that are not in dispute shall be paid by the party owing such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than five business days after the time period in which the Representative delivers such Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof. The determination of Closing Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses and Final Consideration (as revised in accordance with clause (x) or (y) below) shall become final and binding upon the Stockholders and the Optionholders on the earliest of (x) the date Buyer and the Representative resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (y) the date all matters in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Dispute Resolution Auditor specified below. The Representative and Buyer shall negotiate in

good faith to resolve any objections specified in the Notice of Disagreement, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Notice of Disagreement, the Representative and Buyer shall submit such dispute to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (the “Dispute Resolution Auditor”). The Dispute Resolution Auditor shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Notice of Disagreement as being items which the Representative and Buyer are unable to resolve. The Representative and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Dispute Resolution Auditor to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable. Further, the Dispute Resolution Auditor’s determination shall be based solely on the presentations by Buyer and the Representative which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2.11 and the related definitions contained herein (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The resolution of the dispute by the Dispute Resolution Auditor shall be final, binding and non‑appealable on Buyer, the Stockholders and the Optionholders for purposes of this Section 2.11. The fees and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Auditor shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholders and the Optionholders, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party (with each Stockholder and Optionholder responsible for its portion of such costs and expenses (determined on a pro rata basis according to each Person’s Common Percentage)).

(b) If the Final Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.11(a) above is greater than the Closing Consideration, Buyer shall pay to the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Optionholders to the extent of each Person’s Common Percentage) such excess. If the Final Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.11(a) above is less than the Closing Consideration, each Stockholder and Optionholder (to the extent of each Person’s Common Percentage), shall pay to Buyer such shortfall; provided, that, at Buyer’s sole option, the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Optionholders) shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer from the Escrow Amount such shortfall. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made in accordance with Section 2.12.

2.12 Post-Closing Adjustment Payment. Buyer shall promptly (but in any event within five business days after the final determination of the Final Consideration pursuant to Section 2.11) deliver to the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Optionholders to the extent of each Person’s Common Percentage) any amounts determined pursuant to Section 2.11 to be due from Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Representative. The Representative shall promptly deliver such amounts to the Stockholders and the Optionholders according to each Stockholder’s and Optionholder’s Common Percentage. In the event any amounts are due from the Stockholders and Optionholders pursuant to Section 2.11, within two business days after the final determination of the Final Consideration pursuant to Section 2.11, Buyer shall deliver to the Representative a written notice indicating Buyer’s election either (i) to receive the amounts due to Buyer from the Stockholders and Optionholders directly or (ii) to have the Escrow Agent deliver to Buyer such amounts from the Escrow Amount. If Buyer elects to receive the amounts due to Buyer from the Stockholders and Optionholders directly, each Stockholder and Optionholder (to the extent of each Person’s Common Percentage), shall promptly (but in any event within five business days after the final determination of the Final Consideration pursuant to Section 2.11) deliver to Buyer any amounts determined pursuant to Section 2.11 to be

due from the Stockholders and the Optionholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer. If Buyer elects to receive the amounts due to Buyer from the Escrow Amount, the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Optionholders to the extent of each Person’s Common Percentage) and Buyer shall promptly (but in any event within five business days after the final determination of the Final Consideration pursuant to Section 2.11) execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction, instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Amount any amounts determined pursuant to Section 2.11 to be due from the Stockholders and the Optionholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer.

From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify the Stockholders and Optionholders and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, heirs, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of any Loss which any such Seller Indemnified Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as the result of, in connection with, or relating to:

(i) the breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Buyer contained in this Agreement, any Schedule hereto or any certificate delivered by Buyer to the Company with respect hereto in connection with the Closing; or

(ii) the nonfullfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer contained in this Agreement, any Schedule hereto or any certificate delivered by Buyer with respect hereto in connection with the Closing.

(ii) The Indemnifying Equityholders shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Loss arising under Section 8.2(a)(i) with respect to any Special IP Representation or arising under Section 8.2(a)(vi) unless the aggregate of all Losses relating thereto for which the Indemnifying Equityholders would, but for this Section 8.2(c)(ii), be liable exceeds an amount equal to $1,000,000 (the “Special IP Deductible”), in which case the Indemnifying Equityholders shall be liable only for the amount by which such Losses exceed the Special IP Deductible;

(iii) The Indemnifying Equityholders shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Loss arising under Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(a)(vi) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would be payable pursuant to such claim (or series of related claims) exceeds an amount equal to $10,000 (the “Mini‑Basket”); provided, however, that all such individual claims (or series of related claims) for amounts less than the Mini‑Basket shall be counted in determining whether the General Deductible has been exceeded, in the case of Losses arising under Section 8.2(a)(i) with respect to any representations and warranties other than the Special IP Representations, or the Special IP Deductible has been exceeded, in the case of Losses arising under Section 8.2(a)(i) with respect to any Special IP Representation or arising under Section 8.2(a)(vi);

(iv) the Indemnifying Equityholders’ aggregate liability under Section 8.2(a)(i) above (other than with respect to (A) the Fully Indemnified Representations, which are uncapped, and (B) the Special IP Representations, which are addressed in Section 8.2(c)(v) below) shall in no event exceed $11,000,000 (the “General Cap”); and

For the for the avoidance of doubt, and except with respect to the Fully Indemnified Representations (which are uncapped), the Indemnifying Equityholders’ aggregate liability under Section 8.2(a)(i) above and under Section 8.2(a)(vi) above shall in no event exceed $19,000,000.

(d) Additional Indemnification by Stockholders and Optionholders. From and after the Closing, each Indemnifying Equityholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of any Loss which any such Buyer Indemnified Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as the result of, in connection with, relating to or incidental to or by virtue of (i) the nonfullfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by such Indemnifying Equityholder in this Agreement or (ii) any breach of any representation or warranty, or the nonfullfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement, made by such Indemnifying Equityholder in his or its Letter of Transmittal and/or Option Termination Agreement, as applicable.

(e) Defense of Third Party Claims. Any party making a claim for indemnification under this Section 8.2, or under Section 8.3 below (an “Indemnitee”), shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party) or discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense

of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to appoint a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided further that, prior to the Indemnitor assuming control of such defense, it shall first verify to the Indemnitee in writing that such Indemnitor shall be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights) for all liabilities and obligations relating to such claim for indemnification and that it shall provide full indemnification to the Indemnitee with respect to such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification hereunder, and provided further that:

(i) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnitor effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnitor) unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnitor in writing, or (B) the Indemnitor has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee;

(ii) the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (B) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee as its principal remedy; (C) the claim is with respect to Taxes; or (D) upon petition by the Indemnitee, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim; and

(iii) if the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief shall be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice.

During the period that the Escrow Agreement is in effect, the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Optionholders) shall act on behalf of all Indemnitors in the case of all third party claims with respect to which Buyer is seeking indemnification from the Stockholders or the Optionholders under Section 8.2 or 8.3 (with each Stockholder and Optionholder responsible for its portion of Representative’s costs and expenses in undertaking such representation (based on their respective Common Percentages)).

(f) Manner of Payment. Any amounts owing from the Indemnifying Equityholders to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall first be made to the extent available from the Escrow Amount and thereafter shall be made directly by the Indemnifying Equityholders,

severally and not jointly, based on their respective Common Percentages, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(g) Merger Consideration Adjustments. Amounts paid to or on behalf of Buyer or the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) as indemnification shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

(h) Waiver, Release and Discharge. Effective upon the Closing, each Indemnifying Equityholder, on behalf of himself or itself and such Person’s successors and assigns, hereby forever fully and irrevocably waives, releases and discharges the Company, Buyer and their respective predecessors, successors, direct or indirect subsidiaries, affiliates and past and present stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all liabilities and obligations to such Indemnifying Equityholder of any kind or nature whatsoever (including in respect of rights of contribution or indemnification), in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, and whether arising hereunder or under any other agreement or understanding or otherwise at law or equity, which arise out of or relate to the Company or such Indemnifying Equityholder’s ownership of the Company’s equity securities (including Options) (collectively, the “Released Claims”), and each Indemnifying Equityholder shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection with any Released Claim from any of the Released Parties. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section 8.2(h), “Released Claims” does not include, and the provisions of this Section 8.2(h) shall not release or otherwise diminish the obligations of Buyer or the Company expressly set forth in (i) any provisions of this Agreement or the other agreements contemplated hereby, (ii) any employment, severance, change-in-control or similar agreement between the Company and any Indemnifying Equityholder or any Employee Benefit Plan; provided that a true, correct and complete copy of such agreement or Employee Benefit Plan has been made available to Buyer, or (iii) subject to Section 8.2(i), the provisions of the Company’s articles of incorporation or by-laws as of the date hereof with respect to the indemnification of directors, officers and employees.

(i) Limitations on Claims by Stockholders and Optionholders. Each Stockholder and Optionholder hereby agrees that he, she or it will not make any claim for indemnification or reimbursement against the Surviving Company by reason of the fact that, on or prior to the Effective Time, he or she was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by the Surviving Company against such Stockholder or Optionholder (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law, or otherwise).

(j) No Waiver of Contractual Representations and Warranties. Each Stockholder and Optionholder has agreed that Buyer’s rights to indemnification for the express representations and warranties set forth herein are part of the basis of the bargain contemplated by this Agreement; and Buyer’s rights to indemnification shall not be affected or waived by virtue of (and Buyer shall be

deemed to have relied upon the express representations and warranties set forth herein notwithstanding) any knowledge on the part of Buyer of any untruth of any such representation or warranty of the Company expressly set forth in this Agreement, regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained through Buyer’s own investigation or through disclosure by the Company or another person, and regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(k) Losses Net of Insurance Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Losses for which any Buyer Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds which such Buyer Indemnified Party actually receives (less the amount of any direct collection expenses) in respect of such Losses incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party; provided that this Section 8.2(k) shall not require any Buyer Indemnified Party to file or institute a claim against, or otherwise seek recovery from, any of its insurance carriers. In the event that any such insurance proceeds are received by a Buyer Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Buyer Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds relate, then a refund equal to the amount of such recovery (less the amount of any direct collection expenses) shall be made promptly to Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Equityholders in accordance with their respective Common Percentages).

(l) Exclusive Remedy. Following Closing, except (i) in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation (for which no limitations set forth herein shall be applicable), (ii) for injunctive or other equitable relief or (iii) as contemplated by Section 2.11: (A) the indemnification obligations of the parties contained in this ARTICLE VIII shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns for monetary damages in respect of any claim for breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, any Schedule hereto or any certificate delivered by a party with respect hereto, and (B) Buyer shall not be entitled to rely on, and Buyer hereby waives, any representation or warranty (express or implied) not set forth in this Agreement, any Schedule or Exhibit hereto or any certificate delivered by a party with respect hereto.

8.3 Tax Matters.

(a) The Indemnifying Equityholders shall remain liable and indemnify, severally and not jointly, based on their respective Common Percentages, the Buyer Indemnified Parties and hold each of them harmless from and against any loss, claim, liability, expense or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local or non-U.S. law or regulation, (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or

regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, and (iv) all taxes attributable to an election under Section 108(i) of the Code.

(b) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts or payroll of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(c) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company that are filed after the Closing Date.

(d) Buyer and the Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 8.3(d) and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and the Representative agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or the Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records, and, if the other party so requests, the Representative and Buyer, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(e) Buyer and Representative further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(f) Buyer and Representative further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Sections 6043 or 6043A of the Code and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g) All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

ARTICLE IX
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

9.1 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest thereon) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be shared equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholders and Optionholders, on the other hand, and the Person required under applicable law to file any necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees shall file any such Tax Returns and other documentation at its own expense, and if required by applicable law, Buyer, the Company and/or the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders), as applicable, shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

9.3 Press Releases and Announcements. At and prior to the Closing Date, no press releases or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or other announcements to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company, shall be issued without the mutual approval of Buyer and the Company, except for any public disclosure which is required by law or regulation (in which case the Company and Buyer shall have the right to review and a reasonable opportunity to comment upon such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or publication). After the Closing Date, no press releases or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or other announcements to the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company, shall be issued without Buyer’s prior written consent.

9.4 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such party’s expense, any other party hereto shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.5 Specific Performance. The Company acknowledges that its business is unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by it, money damages may be inadequate and Buyer may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Company agrees that Buyer shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the Company’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for

damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief, without posting any bond.

9.6 Expenses.

(a) Subject to Sections 4.3 and 9.6(b) and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company, Stockholders and Optionholders, on the one hand, and Buyer and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall pay all of their own fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of the Letter of Intent, this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) In the event that (i) the Closing does not occur for any reason other than as a result of the failure of any condition to the Company’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby to be satisfied prior to the Termination Date as a result of any breach by Buyer of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement, and (ii) the Company or any Stockholder enters into a definitive agreement for a Sale Transaction resulting in the sale of the Company to a Stockholder or member of the Company’s board of directors, or an Affiliate thereof, prior to December 4, 2011, then the Company shall reimburse Buyer for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred with third party advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, not to exceed $750,000 in the aggregate (“Buyer’s Transaction Expenses”). For the avoidance of doubt, participation by any member of the Company’s existing management team as of the date of this Agreement in either the ownership of the Company or a purchaser of the Company, by way of a rollover of existing capital stock or options or through other nominal ownership, shall not be considered a Sale Transaction for purposes of this Section 9.6(b). The Company shall make any payment required by this Section 9.6(b) by wire transfer to Buyer of immediately available funds within thirty (30) days following written notice from Buyer as to the amount due.

9.7 Exclusivity. Commencing on the date of this Agreement and until the earlier of the Closing or the date on which this Agreement has been terminated by its terms (the “Exclusivity Period”), the Company agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its officers, directors, Affiliates, Stockholders, Optionholders, employees, agents, or other Persons acting on its behalf to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or discuss a Sale Transaction with any third party (other than Buyer and its agents), or (ii) respond to or accept any inquiry, proposal, or offer, relating to a Sale Transaction from any third party (other than Buyer and its agents). A “Sale Transaction” means: (A) an acquisition, lease, or license of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company; (B) an acquisition of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, any shares of capital stock, any share capital, or any equity of the Company; (C) a merger, consolidation, or other business combination involving the Company; (D) the liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company; or (E) any other transaction or series of transactions having an effect or purpose comparable to any of the foregoing. For the purposes of this Section 9.7, a third party shall include any Stockholder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, a third party shall not include a member of the Company’s board of directors acting in their capacity as a board member even though such

director is also affiliated with a Stockholder. The Company represents and warrants that it has terminated (and has caused its officers, directors, Affiliates, Stockholders, Optionholders, employees, agents, or other Persons acting on its behalf to terminate), all current discussions and negotiations with any third party (other than Buyer) with respect to any such inquiry, proposal, or offer. During the Exclusivity Period, the Company shall (1) notify Buyer in the event that the Company, or any of its officers, directors, Affiliates, Stockholders, Optionholders, employees, agents or other Persons acting on its behalf receives any such inquiry, proposal, or offer, including any amendments, revisions or changes to any proposal or offer received prior to the date of this Agreement; (2) disclose to Buyer the terms and conditions of such inquiry, proposal, or offer (including the identity of each third party); and (3) take all actions with respect to such inquiry, proposal, or offer as Buyer may request.

9.8 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidentiality. Following the Closing, each Stockholder and Optionholder shall treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the business and affairs of the Company that is not already generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”), refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to Buyer, at the request and option of Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in his or its possession or under his or its control; provided, however, that each Stockholder shall be entitled to retain one copy of the Confidential Information for legal and compliance purposes (if applicable) in a manner consistent with such Stockholder’s customary document archiving procedures. In the event that any Stockholder or Optionholder is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person shall notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.8(a). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any Stockholder or Optionholder is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such Person may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided that such disclosing Stockholder or Optionholder shall use his or its best efforts to obtain, at the request of Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate.

(b) Remedy for Breach. Each Stockholder and Optionholder acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by any Stockholder or Optionholder of any of the provisions of this Section 9.8, monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or potential breach, the Company, Buyer and/or their respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Section 9.8, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

(c) Enforcement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 9.8 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.

(d) Non-Assert. Each of the Stockholders and Optionholders shall not at any time, either during the term of or after the expiration of this Agreement, make any claim challenging the scope, validity or enforceability of any of the Company Intellectual Property or the Company’s rights therein. Each of the Stockholders and Optionholders shall not at any time make any claim that any of the products designed, developed, produced or sold by the Company after the Closing, or the operation of the Company’s business after the Closing, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of such Person or any of its Affiliates to the extent that such products or such operation after the Closing are the same as the products and operation of the Company’s business prior to the Closing.

9.9 Officers’ and Directors’ Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 8.2(i), from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time to the extent provided in, and in accordance with (including subject to any limitations contained therein), the articles of incorporation and the by-laws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof. The indemnification provided in this Section 9.9 shall apply only to each individual in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company, and not in any other capacity.

(b) As of the Effective Time, Buyer shall purchase or cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s directors and officers currently covered by the Company’s existing director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy that shall provide such directors and officers with “tail” coverage for two years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage on the date hereof and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured Persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company to the extent such liability insurance can be maintained at a cost to Buyer not greater than $28,000; provided, however, that if such insurance cannot be maintained or obtained at such cost, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain or obtain the maximum amount of insurance coverage that can be maintained or obtained at a cost equal to $28,000.

(c) The parties hereto agree that any Person that is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or that becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company to whom this Section 9.9 applies, shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 9.9 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein.

10.3 Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of any other Person, Buyer may at any time, in its sole discretion, assign, in whole or in part, (a) its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates (provided that any such assignment shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder); and (b) its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any subsequent purchaser of the Company or any of its divisions or any material portion of its assets (whether such sale is structured as a sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, recapitalization or otherwise).

10.4 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10.5 Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. Whenever the context requires, the singular number will include the plural, and vice versa, the masculine gender

will include the feminine and neuter genders, the feminine gender will include the masculine and neuter genders, and the neuter gender will include masculine and feminine genders. The words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Schedules,” “Sections” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Schedules, Sections and Exhibits to this Agreement. The terms “hereof,” “hereunder,” “herein” and words of similar import will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Documents shall be deemed to have been “made available” to Buyer if such documents (i) have been posted to the on-line data room hosted by the Company and located at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ as of July 31, 2011 or (ii) with respect to the documents set forth on Schedule 10.5, have been sent to Buyer’s counsel by email prior to the date hereof.

10.6 Captions. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement.

10.7 Entire Agreement. The Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way, including the Letter of Intent.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement (including with respect to an obligation to mitigate damages, if any, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any such obligation) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

10.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies under or by virtue of this Agreement.

10.11 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXCLUSIVELY LIE IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN

SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF ANY PROCESS REQUIRED BY ANY SUCH COURT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND LAWFUL SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST THEM, WITHOUT NECESSITY FOR SERVICE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR RULE OF COURT.

10.12 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH OF THE PARTIES FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

10.13 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and any other Transaction Document, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such contract, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties hereto or thereto. No party hereto or to any such contract shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

10.14 Appointment of Stockholder Representative.

(a) In order to, among other things, administer efficiently the determination and payment of the Merger Consideration and the defense and/or settlement of any claims for Losses for which the Stockholders and the Optionholders may be required to indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereof, the Stockholders and the Optionholders, by their adoption and approval of this Agreement, as well as, in certain cases, through separate instruments, irrevocably appoint the Representative as their agent, attorney in fact and representative (with full power of substitution in the premises), and, by its execution hereof, the Representative hereby accepts such appointment.

(b) The Representative is hereby authorized (i) to take all action necessary in connection with the acceptance, rejection, determination and payment of the Merger Consideration and the defense and/or settlement of any claims for Losses (including the power to compromise any

indemnity claim on behalf of the Stockholders and the Optionholders and to transact matters of litigation) for which the Stockholders and the Optionholders may be required to indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereof, (ii) to give and receive all notices required to be given under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby to which all of the Stockholders and Optionholders are subject, and (iii) to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the power:

(A) to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and any amendments thereto as the representative of the Stockholders and the Optionholders; to execute any instructions or directions to the Escrow Agent with respect to disbursements or other matters thereunder; and to take such further actions under the Escrow Agreement as the Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate;

(B) to execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, stock powers, certificates and documents that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether prior to, at or after the Closing;

(C) to execute and deliver all amendments and waivers to this Agreement that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate, whether prior to, at or after the Closing; provided that any such amendment, if material to the rights and obligations of such Stockholders or Optionholders in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, shall be taken in the same manner with respect to all such Stockholders and Optionholders, unless otherwise agreed by each such Stockholder or Optionholder who is subject to any disparate treatment of a potentially adverse nature;

(D) to receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds;

(E) to receive funds for the payment of expenses of the Stockholders and the Optionholders, to deposit such funds in such accounts as the Representative deems appropriate and apply or reserve such funds in payment for such expenses, including holding the Representative Administrative Amount.

(F) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Stockholders and the Optionholders that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as the Stockholders and the Optionholders could do if personally present; and

(G) to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement.

(c) In the event that the Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Stockholders and the Optionholders (or, if applicable,

their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns) who held a majority of the voting power represented by the shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (on an as-converted, as exercised basis), shall select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) All decisions and actions by the Representative, including the defense or settlement of any claims for Losses for which the Stockholders and Optionholders may be required to indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereof, shall be binding upon all of the Stockholders and Optionholders, and no Stockholder or Optionholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(e) Buyer shall be able to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Representative as to the determination and payment of the Closing Consideration and the Final Consideration, amounts to be paid from the Escrow Amount and the settlement of any claims for Losses for which the Stockholders and Optionholders may be required to indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereof and any other actions required to be taken by the Representative hereunder, and no party hereunder or Stockholder or Optionholder shall have any cause of action against Buyer or Merger Sub for any action taken by Buyer or Merger Sub in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Representative.

(f) All actions, decisions and instructions of the Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Stockholders and Optionholders, and no Stockholder or Optionholder shall have any cause of action against the Representative for any action taken or not taken, decision made or instruction given by the Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Representative.

(g) The provisions of this Section 10.14 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Stockholder or Optionholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 10.14 shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each Stockholder and Optionholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Stockholder or an Optionholder or the Stockholders or Optionholders shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Stockholders and Optionholders hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

(i) All reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Representative in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Stockholders and Optionholders on a pro‑rata basis based on their respective Common Percentages. Representative shall first pay any such fees and expenses from the Representative Administrative Amount. The amount of the Representative Administrative Amount or other amounts (if any) held by the Representative after the final resolution of all Claims asserted hereunder, shall be distributed by the Representative to the Stockholders and Optionholders in accordance with their respective Common Percentages; provided that the portion of any such distribution allocable to the Optionholders shall be remitted by the Representative to the Surviving

Corporation and shall be made by the Surviving Corporation to each of the Optionholders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s regular payroll practices then in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Representative Administrative Amount be deemed to comprise part of the Escrow Amount.

(j) The Representative shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Equityholders for, and shall be held harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Representative or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, members, consultants, attorneys, accountants, advisors, brokers, representatives or controlling persons, in each case relating to the Representative’s conduct as Representative (collectively, the “Representative Parties”), other than losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its performance under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnifying Equityholders agree that the Representative may, in all questions arising under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, rely on the advice of counsel and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Representative in accordance with such advice of counsel, the Representative shall not be liable to the Indemnifying Equityholders. The Indemnifying Equityholders, by approval of this Agreement, agree that in no event shall the Representative Parties be liable under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the Indemnifying Equityholders for (i) any indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages or (ii) any amounts other than those that are satisfied out of the Escrow Fund. Nothing in this Section 10.14(j) shall in any way terminate, amend, modify, alter, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Equityholders under any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to any Person other than the Indemnifying Equityholders’ obligations to the Representative Parties relating to the Representative’s conduct as Representative.
