Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.8(a)) and any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.7(d), will be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted (subject to Section 1.7(g)), and subject further to the conditions set forth below and throughout this Agreement, including the provisions of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B), upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.9 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond or other form of security, if reasonably requested by Parent in light of suspicious or unusual circumstances surrounding the loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) in the manner provided in Section 1.11) into the right to receive (A) in the case of holders of Company Common Stock set forth on Schedule 1.7(a)(i) of the Company Schedules (the “Cash Shareholders”), (x) an amount of cash equal to the Cash Shareholders Common Per Share Cash Amount and (y) an amount in cash equal to the Earnout Per Share Amount, payable in accordance with Section 1.7(b); and (B) in the case of holders of Company Common Stock set forth on Schedule 1.7(a)(ii) (the “Carryover Shareholders”), (x) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (i) a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the Common Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Shares”), (y) an amount of cash equal to the Common Per Share Cash Amount (together with the cash payable to the Cash Shareholders, the “Merger Cash”), and (z) the right to receive payment equal to the Merger Note Per Share Amount pursuant to the terms of the Merger Note; provided, that, with respect to shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the Closing Date, a portion of the Merger Shares and the Merger Cash into which such shares shall be converted shall be deposited into escrow pursuant to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Earnout Amount. As part of the Merger Consideration, Parent will pay the Earnout Amount in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.7(b).

(i) The Earnout Amount will be determined as follows:

a) if the Company Revenues for the Measurement Period are greater than or equal to $87,800,000, then the Earnout Amount will be $10,000,000.

b) if the Company Revenues for the Measurement Period are greater than or equal to $70,240,000, but less than $87,800,000, then the Earnout Amount will be equal to (1) a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the Company Revenues over $70,240,000, and the denominator of which is $17,560,000, multiplied by (2) $10,000,000.

c) if the Company Revenues for the Measurement Period are less than $70,240,000, then the Earnout Amount will be $0.

(ii) Within fifteen (15) business days following the completion of the Measurement Period (i.e., on or before October 19, 2007), Parent will provide the Shareholder Representative with a certificate setting forth the Company Revenues for the Measurement Period and the calculation of the Earnout Amount (the “Certificate”).

(iii) Parent will provide the Shareholder Representative and its agents and representatives with reasonable access (with at least 48 hours prior notice) to the personnel, books and records of Parent and the Surviving Corporation to assist the Shareholder Representative in its review of Parent’s calculation of the Company Revenues.

(iv) The Shareholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receiving Parent’s calculation of the Company Revenues or the Earnout Amount if the Shareholder Representative disagrees with Parent’s calculation of the Company Revenues or the Earnout Amount, and such notice (if given) shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute and the dollar amounts involved and the Shareholder Representative’s calculation of the Company Revenues and Earnout Amount.

(v) If no Dispute Notice is given within such thirty (30) day period, then Parent’s calculation of the Earnout Amount shall be final and binding upon the Parties and the Company Shareholders.

(vi) Upon receipt of a Dispute Notice, Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreement with respect to the calculation of the Company Revenues. If Parent and the Shareholder Representative are unable to agree with respect to the calculation of the Company Revenues within thirty (30) days after the date of the Dispute Notice, Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall submit their disputes to an accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Shareholder Representative for a binding resolution within thirty (30) days thereafter. The cost of such accounting firm shall be paid one-half by Parent and one-half by the Company Shareholders.

(vii) Upon final determination of the Earnout Amount,

-12-

a) Parent will pay to each of the Cash Shareholders an amount in cash equal to the Cash Shareholder’s Proportionate Interest in the Earnout Amount; and

b) Parent will issue the Merger Note, in the form attached as Exhibit L, to the Shareholder Representative, as agent for the Carryover Shareholders. The principal amount of the Merger Note will be equal to the Earnout Amount, minus the amount of cash paid to the Cash Shareholders under (a) above.

(viii) The interest rate under the Merger Note will be equal to the interest rate payable by Parent under the note issued pursuant to the First Priority Term Loan Facility (as such term is defined in the Financing Commitment Letter) with respect to LIBOR (as such term is defined in the Financing Commitment Letter) advances as of September 30, 2007.

(ix) The Merger Note will mature and be payable upon the earlier of (a) six months after the original maturity date of the second priority facility entered into in connection with the Financing Transaction, and (b) thirty (30) days after the date on which Parent’s obligations under the credit facilities issued in connection with the Financing Transaction are repaid in full without the use of borrowed funds.

(c) Establishment of Escrow Fund. On the Closing Date, 10% of the Merger Shares and Merger Cash issuable pursuant to Section 1.7(a) hereof in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (calculated assuming for this purpose that there are no Dissenting Shares) (the “Escrow Amount”), will, without any act of any Company Shareholder, and in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, be deposited with the Escrow Agent for a period of 15 months by Parent on behalf of the Company Shareholders to secure the obligations set forth in Article VII hereof and in the Escrow Agreement. Such amount is referred to herein as the “Escrow Fund” and will be governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 1.7(a), the amount of Merger Consideration payable to any Company Shareholder on the Closing Date will be reduced by such Company Shareholder’s Proportionate Interest in the Escrow Amount. The holders of the Company Capital Stock, by virtue of the approval of this Agreement by the Company Shareholders, (i) consent to the deposit of the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent, and (ii) will be subject to the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. Any payments from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of valid indemnification claims made by Parent or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Article VII, as determined pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, shall be comprised of shares of Parent Common Stock and Merger Cash in the same proportion as such forms of consideration constitute the initial Escrow Amount.

(d) Cancellation of Company or Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company or owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Company Subsidiary or Parent Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

-13-

(f) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(g) Adjustments to Common Exchange Ratio. The Common Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(h) Appointment of Representative for Merger Note. By voting to adopt the Agreement and approve the Merger, or participating in the Merger and accepting the benefits thereof, each Company Shareholder shall be deemed to have approved the designation of and designates the Shareholder Representative as the representative of the Company Shareholders and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Company Shareholder with respect to the Merger Notes and the Merger Note Consideration payable thereunder and the taking by the Shareholder Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholder Representative with respect to the Merger Note, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices to or from Parent relating to the Merger Note; (ii) authorize the exercise or waiver of certain provisions of the Merger Note; (iii) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand arbitration or litigation of, and comply with the orders of arbiters or courts with respect to the Merger Note; and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

1.8 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that have not been voted for approval of the Merger and with respect to which such shareholders become entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights in accordance with O.C.G.A. §§ 14-2-1301 et seq. (“Dissenting Shares”), will not be converted into or represent a right to receive consideration in connection with the Merger pursuant to Section 1.7, but will instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Georgia Law.

-14-

(b) If a holder of Dissenting Shares (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) withdraws such holder’s demand for such payment and appraisal or becomes ineligible for such payment and appraisal, then, as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event of withdrawal or ineligibility, whichever last occurs, such holder’s Dissenting Shares will cease to be Dissenting Shares and will be converted into the right to receive, and will be exchangeable for, that portion of the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, into which such Dissenting Shares would have been converted pursuant to Section 1.7(a).

(c) The Company will give Parent and Merger Sub prompt notice of any written demands or withdrawals of dissenters’ rights with regard to Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any demands for dissenters’ rights. The Company agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Parent and Merger Sub, or as required under Georgia Law, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for appraisal. Each Dissenting Shareholder who, pursuant to O.C.G.A. §§ 14-2-1301 et seq., becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares will receive payment therefor (but only after the value therefor has been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions).

(d) Any amount paid by Parent or the Surviving Corporation to any Dissenting Shareholder(s) for Dissenting Shares pursuant to O.C.G.A. §§ 14-2-1301 et seq. in excess of the value such Dissenting Shareholder(s) would have received in the Merger for such Dissenting Shares shall constitute “Excess Payments.” Each of Parent and the Company agree that Parent shall be entitled to recover the amount of the Excess Payments from the Escrow Fund.

1.9 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Shareholder Services shall act as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger. The Parties agree that all fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent shall be paid by Parent.

(b) Parent to Provide Common Stock. At Closing, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I, the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable and cash payable pursuant to Section 1.7(a) (subject to the escrow provisions of Section 1.7(c)) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock and any dividends or distributions to which holders of shares of Company Capital Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 1.9(d).

(c) Exchange Procedures. At Closing, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a Certificate or Certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.7, (together with any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.9(d)): (i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates

-15-

to the Exchange Agent and shall contain such other customary provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing Merger Shares, Merger Cash and Merger Note Consideration and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.9(d). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (subject in each case to the escrow provisions of Section 1.7(c)) (i) certificates representing the number of whole Merger Shares into which their shares of Company Common Stock were converted at the Effective Time, (ii) an amount of cash equal to the fraction of the Merger Cash or Merger Note Consideration into which their shares of Company Common Stock were converted at the Effective Time and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.9(d), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, subject to Section 1.9(d) as to the payment of dividends, to evidence only the ownership of the number of Merger Shares and the amount of Merger Cash and Merger Note Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock shall have been so converted and the right to receive any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.9(d).

(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered Certificates with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby until the holders of record of such Certificates shall surrender such Certificates. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificates, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, in exchange therefor, without interest, certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued, and Merger Cash and Merger Note Consideration paid and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If certificates representing Merger Shares are to be issued, or Merger Cash or Merger Note Consideration is to be paid, in a name other than that in which the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance and payment thereof that the Certificates so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates representing Merger Shares and payment of Merger Cash and Merger Note Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Required Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the

-16-

extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.9, neither the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any Party shall be liable to a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. All Merger Shares issued and Merger Cash and Merger Note Consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof (together with any cash paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.9(d)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, certificates representing the Merger Shares, Merger Cash and Merger Note Consideration into which the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificates were converted pursuant to Section 1.7 and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.9(d); provided, however, that Parent may, as a condition precedent to the issuance of such certificates representing Merger Shares, cash and other distributions, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond or other form of security in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, if such requirement is reasonable in light of suspicious or unusual circumstances surrounding the loss, theft or destruction of the Certificate.

1.12 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub, the current officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub will take all such lawful and necessary action.

1.13 Taxable Transaction. The Parties intend that the Merger and the other transactions and agreements contemplated hereby will be considered a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes.

1.14 Unclaimed Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered and made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Article I and not exchanged for Company Common Stock within six (6) months after the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.9 above shall be returned by the Exchange Agent to Parent, which thereafter shall act as Exchange Agent subject to the rights of holders of unsurrendered Certificates under this Article I. Thereafter

-17-

such holders shall be entitled to look to Parent and the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them.

against any fiduciary of any Company Employee Benefit Plans or against the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to the operation of such plan or asserting any rights or claims to benefits under any Company Employee Benefit Plans or against the assets of any trust under such plan, except for those which would not, individually or in the aggregate, give rise to any liability which has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no facts which would give rise to any liability under this Section 2.17(e) except for those which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company in the event of any such investigation, claim, suit or proceeding.

(f) None of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any employee of the foregoing, nor any trustee, administrator, other fiduciary or any other “party in interest” or “disqualified person” with respect to the Pension Plans or Welfare Plans, has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) other than such transactions that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(g) None of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to, nor have they ever maintained or contributed to, any pension plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA.

(i) Neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries has any material liability (including any contingent liability under Section 4204 of ERISA) with respect to any multiemployer plan, within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA, or any multiple employer plan, within the meaning of Code Section 413(c).

(j) With respect to each of the Company Employee Benefit Plans, true, correct and complete copies of the following documents have been made available to Parent: (i) the plan document and any related trust agreement, including amendments thereto, (ii) any current summary plan descriptions and other material communications to participants relating to the Company Employee Benefit Plans, (iii) the three most recent Forms 5500, if applicable, and (iv) the most recent United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) determination letter, if applicable.

-33-

Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code have complied with the notice and continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the Code, COBRA, Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder except where the failure to comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(l) No liability under any Pension Plan or Welfare Plan has been funded or self-insured nor has any such obligation been satisfied with the purchase of a contract from an insurance company as to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries has received notice that such insurance company is in rehabilitation or a comparable proceeding.

(m) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.17(m) of the Company Schedules, neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor any termination of employment or any other service relationship, will result in an increase in the amount of compensation or benefits or accelerate the vesting or timing of payment of any benefits or compensation payable to or in respect of any employee, director or consultant of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. There has been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement (whether or not written) by the Company or any Company Subsidiary relating to, or change in participation or coverage under, any Company Employee Benefit Plan which would materially increase the expense of maintaining such Company Employee Benefit Plan above the level of expense incurred with respect to such Company Employee Benefit Plan for the most recent fiscal year included in the Company Financial Statements.

(n) Schedule 2.17(n) of the Company Schedules lists each Company Foreign Plan (other than a Company Employee Benefit Plan) (as hereinafter defined). For purposes hereof, the term “Company Foreign Plan” means any material plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement maintained or contributed to by, or entered into with, the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to employees (or former employees) employed outside the United States to the extent the benefits provided thereunder are not mandated by the laws of the applicable foreign jurisdiction and with respect to which the Company has any material liability.

Each outstanding Company Stock Option so assumed by Parent will continue to have, and be subject to, substantially equivalent terms and conditions of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any vesting provisions or repurchase rights), except for the following:

(i) Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. Each outstanding Company Stock Option so assumed will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) exclusively for (and the Company hereby covenants that each Company Stock Option is exercisable exclusively for) (A) that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (2) the Option Exchange Ratio.

(ii) Option Per Share Exercise Price. For the period beginning immediately following the Effective Time, the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Company Stock Option will be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing (X) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (Y) the Option Exchange Ratio.

(iii) ISO Status. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Company Stock Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies (“incentive stock options”), the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the participants in the Company Option Plan appropriate notice setting forth such participants’ rights pursuant thereto and the grants pursuant to the Company Option Plan shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 5.1 after giving effect to the Merger). Parent shall comply with the terms of the Company Option Plan and the Parties intend that, to the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, such Company Option Plan and Sections 422 and 424(a) of the Code, that Company Options which qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time continue to qualify as incentive stock options after the Effective Time, and this provision shall be interpreted consistent with that intent.

(c) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Company Options assumed in accordance with this Section 5.1. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but not later than 30 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any

-53-

successor or other appropriate forms) under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such options and shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding.

5.2 Information Statement. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare, with the cooperation of Parent, the Information Statement.

Each of Parent and the Company agrees to provide promptly to the other such information concerning its business and financial statements and affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the providing party or its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Information Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and auditors in the preparation of the Information Statement. The Company will promptly advise Parent and Parent will promptly advise the Company in writing if at any time prior to the Effective Time either the Company or Parent shall obtain knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary or appropriate to amend or supplement the Information Statement in order to make the statements contained or incorporated by reference therein not misleading or for compliance with applicable law. The Information Statement shall contain a statement that the Company Board has concluded that the terms and conditions of the Merger are fair and reasonable to the Company Shareholders, that the Company Board has approved this Agreement and the Merger, that the Company Board has recommended that the Company Shareholders vote to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, and that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Company Capital Stock (voting on an as-converted basis) have voted to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Company shall not include in the Information Statement any information with respect to Parent or its affiliates or associates, the form and content of which information shall not have been approved in writing by Parent prior to such inclusion.

Registration Statement, including any required historical and pro forma financial statements, notes, management’s discussion and analysis and any other information, certificates or representations necessary to provide the foregoing); and (ii) Parent must continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Ernst & Young LLP to provide its consent as soon as possible (such exceptions in clauses (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to herein as the “Registration Exceptions”). Parent shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Shares to be included in the Registration Statement. Subject to the Registration Exceptions, Parent shall use its best efforts thereafter to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable. Parent may postpone the filing or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a period of up to sixty (60) days if Parent determines in good faith that the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement would require the disclosure of information that could be materially detrimental to Parent or its stockholders; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to disclose such information (or the nature thereof) to the holders of Registrable Shares (“Holders”) or the Shareholder Representative. Subject to the Registration Exceptions and to Section 5.3(b), Parent shall use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earliest of (i) the date on which all such Registrable Shares have been sold thereunder, (ii) such time as all Registrable Shares may be sold within a given three-month period pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (iii) the date upon which all such Registrable Shares are freely transferable without restriction under the Securities Act.

(b) Stop Order; Amendment of Prospectus.

(i) Parent will notify the Holders promptly of (X) the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (Y) the receipt by Parent of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction. Immediately upon receipt of any such notice, the Holders shall cease to offer and sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement in the jurisdiction to which such stop order or suspension relates. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if any such stop order is issued or any such qualification is suspended, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal or revocation thereof, and will notify the Holders at the earliest practicable date of the date on which the Holders may offer and sell Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(ii) Parent will notify the Holders promptly if Parent is in possession of material non-public information that an executive officer of Parent determines in good faith should not be disclosed because it would be materially detrimental to Parent or its stockholders but would otherwise be required to be set forth in the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement (a “Prospectus”); provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to disclose such event or facts, or the nature thereof, to the Holders or the Shareholder Representative. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, and provided that an equivalent trading suspension has been imposed on, and is then applicable to, all of Parent’s executive officers, directors and other holders of Parent Common Stock which are registered for resale under the Securities Act, the Holders shall cease to offer or sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Prospectus, cease to deliver or use such Prospectus and, if so requested by Parent, return to Parent, at Parent’s expense, all copies (other than permanent file copies) of such Prospectus. Promptly after Parent determines that the information may be included in an amendment or supplement to any Prospectus, Parent will use commercially

-55-

reasonable efforts to amend or supplement the Prospectus as promptly as practicable in order to set forth or reflect such event or state of facts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an executive officer of Parent determines in good faith that the disclosure of such information in an amendment or supplement would be materially detrimental to Parent or its stockholders, Parent shall be permitted to delay the filing of such an amendment or supplement to such Prospectus for a period of time to extend no longer than sixty (60) days. Parent will promptly furnish copies of such amendment or supplement to such Prospectus to the Holders and notify Holders when trading may once again commence.

(iii) Holders that are employees of Parent or any subsidiary of Parent shall be subject to Parent’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Compliance Program and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Policy.

(c) Information Concerning the Holders. The obligations of Parent to take the actions contemplated by Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) with respect to an offering of Registrable Shares shall be subject to the condition that each Holder shall (i) conform to all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the offering and sale of securities and (ii) advise each underwriter, broker or dealer through which any of such Registrable Shares are offered that such Registrable Shares are part of a distribution that is subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Each Holder shall furnish to Parent in writing such information and furnish such documents as may be reasonably required by Parent in the preparation of (A) a Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) with respect to any offering of Registrable Shares and (B) any qualification of such Registrable Shares under state securities or “blue sky” laws, and shall promptly notify Parent of the occurrence, from the date on which such information or documents are furnished to the date of the closing for the sale of such Registrable Shares, of any event relating to such Holder that is required under the Securities Act to be set forth in such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(d) Expenses of Registration. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses incident to its performance of or compliance with this Section 5.3 and registration of Registrable Shares in connection therewith (“Registration Expenses”); provided, however, the Registration Expenses shall not include any legal fees of the Holders or any sales or underwriting discounts, commissions or fees attributable to the sale of the Registrable Shares, which shall be borne by the Holders.

(e) Indemnification and Contribution.

(i) Parent agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Section 5.3, each Holder and its directors, officers, partners, members, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or other person (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or a Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; provided, however, that Parent shall not be liable to any Holder or its directors, officers, partners, members, employees or agents or each person, if any, who controls such Holder or other person (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of,

-56-

or is based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement, or any omission, if such statement or omission shall have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Holder or person furnished in writing to Parent by such Holder or person for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (ii) if a copy of any Prospectus (or any amendment thereto) relating to the Registration Statement was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder to a purchaser of the Holder’s Registrable Shares, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Shares to such purchaser, and if such Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability and a copy of such Prospectus was delivered to such Holder.

(ii) In connection with the Registration Statement, each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Parent, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls Parent (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or a Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Parent by such Holder for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or a Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, that the liability of each Holder hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares by such Holder under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the gross proceeds received by such Holder.

(iii) Each party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that the delay or failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 5.3(e), except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially adversely affected by such delay or failure. The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay any such reasonable expense if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in conducting the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom. No Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle any claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

-57-

(iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.3(e) from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to a Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein as a result of a judicial determination that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding this Section 5.3, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Shares offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement.

The indemnification provisions contained in this Section 5.3 are separate and distinct from the indemnification provisions of Article VII.

5.4 Blue Sky Laws. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the securities and blue sky laws of all jurisdictions that are applicable to the issuance of the Parent Common Stock pursuant hereto.

(b) Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction (A) on or prior to the Effective Time involving the Company or (B) arising out of Parent’s operation of the business of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time in the manner in which it is presently conducted and planned to be conducted, each of the other Parties will cooperate with the Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall

The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Section 5.15 Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, unless such modification is required by law.

(b) The provisions of this Section 5.15 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Section 5.15 Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation.

-61-

employees of Parent, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by the terms of such Parent benefit plan or any insurance contract or agreement applicable thereto. Until such time as the Transitioned Employees are covered by a Parent Employee Benefit Plan, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to continue to maintain the Company’s comparable benefit or insurance plan or program currently in effect. Parent shall cause the salary of each of the Transitioned Employees at the Effective Time to be no less than his or her salary immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that Parent is entitled at its sole discretion to evaluate each Transitioned Employee’s performance after a standard review period and adjust his or her salary in accordance with Parent’s compensation review process. Parent will recognize employment services of each Transitioned Employee with the Company for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan. Each Transitioned Employee’s years of service with the Company shall be otherwise recognized for all general employment purposes, including seniority, vacation, personal time and similar general employment purposes; provided, that any vacation time offered by Parent in the calendar year of the Effective Time to any Transitioned Employee shall be offset by any vacation time used by or paid to a Transitioned Employee by the Company in the calendar year of the Effective Time.

At Parent’s request, prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall adopt resolutions terminating any Company Employee Benefit Plan intended to include an arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code effective immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that if Parent requests the Company Board to terminate any such Company Employee Benefit Plan, Parent shall cause any Transitioned Employees covered by the terminated Company Employee Benefit Plan to be covered by the substantially comparable Parent Employee Benefit Plan effective immediately after the Effective Time.

5.18 Representation on Parent Board. Parent shall take such action as may be necessary to appoint ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the Parent’s board of directors commencing as of the Effective Time. Such appointment shall be as a Class II director whose term expires at the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders of Parent.

5.19 Working Capital. The Working Capital of the Company shall be within the Working Capital Range.

5.20 Subsidiaries.

Parent will be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in the performance of this Section 5.20. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the fees and expenses incident to the performance of this Section 5.20 shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of the Permitted Dividend or the Company’s Working Capital.

5.22 Noncompetition Agreements.

Article VII

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNIFICATION

AND REMEDIES; CONTINUING COVENANTS

7.1 Survival. If the Merger is consummated, the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement, the Company Schedules and the Parent Schedules shall survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Parties until the date that is fifteen months following the Closing Date of this Agreement (the “Escrow Termination Date”); provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.2 (Authority), Section 2.5 (Capitalization) and Section 2.16 (Taxes), and of Parent and Merger Sub contained in Section 3.2 (Authority), shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Parties until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided further, however, that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article VII in respect of any claim based upon any failure of a representation or warranty that is set forth in a Notice of Claim delivered prior to the applicable expiration date of such representation or warranty shall be affected by the expiration of such representation or warranty; and provided, further, that such expiration shall not affect the rights of any Parent Indemnified Person under this Article VII or otherwise to seek recovery of Damages arising out of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect thereto. All covenants of the Parties (including the covenants set forth in Article IV and Article V) shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Escrow Termination Date, except to the extent such covenants provide that they are to be performed after the Escrow Termination Date; provided, however, that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article VII in respect of any claim based upon any breach of a covenant that is set forth in a Notice of Claim delivered prior to the expiration of such covenant shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant.

-67-

7.2 Agreement to Indemnify.

(a) Each Company Shareholder shall severally (based on each such holder’s Proportionate Interest), and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its officers, directors, agents, representatives, stockholders and employees, and each Person, if any, who controls or may control Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each hereinafter referred to individually as a “Parent Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Parent Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, reductions in value, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees, costs of investigation and court costs but net of any actual recovery by Parent in the nature of insurance, indemnity or otherwise from third parties) (collectively referred to as “Damages”), directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from or in connection with:

(i) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the Company Schedules, to be true and correct in all material respects (except those representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, 2.7 and 2.21, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the Closing Date as if made on the Closing Date (except those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date, which shall be true and correct only as of such date);

(ii) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement;

(iii) any Excess Payments pursuant to Section 1.8(d); and

(iv) any Third Party Claim relating to any breach or failure referred to in clause (i) through (iii) above.

7.3 Limitations.

(a) If the Merger is consummated, in no event shall the total recovery of the Parent Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this Article VII exceed (i) the total Merger Consideration that all Company Shareholders are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.7(a) in respect of any claim for indemnification that is made pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) as a result of any failure of any representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.2 (Authority), Section 2.5 (Capitalization) and Section 2.16 (Taxes) or (ii) the Escrow Amount for all other claims for indemnification made under this Article VII by the Parent Indemnified Parties, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no limitation on the total recovery of the Parent Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this Article VII in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company. In determining the amount of any Damages in respect of the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct as of any particular date, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard contained in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded. Subject to, and except as otherwise provided in, the provisions of this Section 7.3(a), the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Damages arising out of any all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement other than claims made after the Escrow Termination Date but prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (as provided in Section 7.1). The maximum amount that may be recovered from any single Company Shareholder shall be limited to such Company Shareholder’s Proportionate Interest of the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration.

-68-

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and except as provided below, no Parent Indemnified Person may receive any portion of the Escrow Amount in respect of any claim for indemnification unless and until Damages in an aggregate amount greater than $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”) have been incurred, paid or properly accrued, and then only to the extent that such aggregate amounts exceed the Deductible; provided, that breach of Section 5.1(a)(i) (Shares Issuable Upon Exercise) and Section 5.19 (Working Capital) shall not be subject to the Deductible; provided, further, that for purposes of calculating Damages incurred in connection with a breach of Section 5.1(a)(i), there shall be a credit applied to such Damages equal to the value of the shares of Parent Common Stock not issued in connection with the exercise of a Company Stock Option assumed by Parent pursuant to Section 5.1.

7.4 Notice of Claim.

(a) As used herein, the term “Claim” means a claim for indemnification of Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Person by a Company Shareholder for Damages under this Article VII.

(b) Parent may give notice of a Claim under this Agreement, whether for its own Damages or for Damages incurred by any other Parent Indemnified Person, and Parent shall give written notice of a Claim executed by an officer of Parent (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Shareholder Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Claim involves recovery against the Escrow Amount) promptly after Parent becomes aware of the existence of any potential claim by any Parent Indemnified Person for indemnification from the Effective Time under this Article VII, arising from or relating to:

(i) Any matter specified in Section 7.2; or

(ii) the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Person of a claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a third party against Parent or such other Parent Indemnified Person (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”) that is based on, arises out of or relates to any matter specified in Section 7.2.

The period during which claims may be initiated (the “Claims Period”) for indemnification from the Escrow Amount shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate on the Escrow Termination Date; provided, however, that the Claims Period for indemnification from and against Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Claims for Damages specified in any Notice of Claim delivered to the Shareholder Representative prior to expiration of the applicable Claims Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to expiration of the applicable Claims Period shall remain outstanding until such Claims for Damages have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period.

-69-

Until the expiration of the applicable Claims Period, no delay on the part of Parent in giving the Shareholder Representative a Notice of Claim shall relieve the Shareholder Representative from any of its obligations under this Article VII unless (and then only to the extent that) the Shareholder Representative or the Company Shareholders are materially prejudiced thereby.

7.5 Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Parent shall determine and conduct the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim, and the costs and expenses incurred by Parent in connection with such defense or settlement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Damages for which Parent may seek indemnification pursuant to a Claim made by any Parent Indemnified Person hereunder.

(b) The Shareholder Representative shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents by the Shareholder Representative does not affect any privilege relating to the Parent Indemnified Person and may participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third-Party Claim.

(c) No settlement of any such Third-Party Claim with any third party claimant shall be determinative of the existence of or amount of Damages relating to such matter, except with the consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Shareholder Representative shall have objected within 20 days after a written request for such consent by Parent.

7.6 Contents of Notice of Claim. Each Notice of Claim by Parent given pursuant to Section 7.4 shall contain the following information:

(i) that Parent or another Parent Indemnified Person has directly or indirectly incurred, paid or properly accrued or, in good faith, believes it shall have to directly or indirectly incur, pay or accrue, Damages in an aggregate stated amount arising from such Claim (which amount may be an estimated amount and may be the amount of damages claimed by a third party in an action brought against any Parent Indemnified Person based on alleged facts, which if true, would give rise to liability for Damages to such Parent Indemnified Person under this Article VII);

(ii) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to Parent), of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Damages based on Parent’s good faith belief thereof, including the identity and address of any third-party claimant (to the extent reasonably available to Parent) and copies of any formal demand or complaint, the amount of Damages (to the extent known), or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the specific nature of the breach to which such item is related; and

(iii) a statement that either (a) the Claims identified in such Notice of Claim (together with Claims set forth in all Notices of Claims theretofore delivered), individually or in the aggregate, do not satisfy the Deductible, (b) the Claims identified in such Notice of Claim (together with Claims set forth in all Notices of Claims theretofore delivered), individually or in the aggregate, satisfy the Deductible or (c) that the Deductible does not apply to such Claims.

-70-

7.7 Resolution of Notice of Claim. Each Notice of Claim given by Parent shall be resolved as follows:

(a) If, within 30 days after a Notice of Claim is received by the Shareholder Representative, the Shareholder Representative does not contest such Notice of Claim in writing to Parent (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Claim involves recovery against the Escrow Amount), the Shareholder Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have consented, on behalf of all Company Shareholders, to the recovery by the Parent Indemnified Person of the full amount of Damages (subject to the limits contained in this Article VII) specified in the Notice of Claim in accordance with this Article VII, including the forfeiture of all or a portion of the Escrow Amount, and, without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Company Shareholders for such amount in any court having jurisdiction over the matter where venue is proper.

(b) If the Shareholder Representative gives Parent written notice contesting all or any portion of a Notice of Claim (a “Contested Claim”) (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) within the 30 day period specified in Section 7.7(a) above, then such Contested Claim shall be resolved by either (i) a written settlement agreement or memorandum executed by Parent and the Shareholder Representative (a copy of which shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent) or (ii) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement within 30 days following receipt by Parent of the written notice from the Shareholder Representative, by binding arbitration between Parent and the Shareholder Representative in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7.7(c) below. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum or agreement and shall distribute from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the memorandum or agreement.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Parent or the Shareholder Representative may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both Parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators, to be selected as follows: within 15 days after such written notice is sent, Parent (on the one hand) and the Shareholder Representative (on the other hand) shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in any disputed Notice of Claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Amount in accordance with such decision.

(d) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Chicago, Illinois under the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association, and the expenses, including the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the prevailing party to the arbitration. The arbitration panel shall be authorized to determine which party to the arbitration is the prevailing party and which party is the non-prevailing party.

-71-

7.8 Release of Remaining Escrow Property. Within 10 Business Days following the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Shareholders all of the remaining Escrow Amount (if any) in excess of any Escrow Amount that is necessary to satisfy all unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed claims for Damages specified in any Notice of Claim delivered to the Shareholder Representative before the Escrow Termination Date. If any Claims are unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed as of the expiration of the Claims Period, then the Escrow Agent shall retain possession and custody of that portion of the Escrow Amount that equals the total maximum amount of Damages then being claimed by Parent Indemnified Persons in all such unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims, and as soon as all such Claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Shareholders all of the remaining Escrow Property (if any) not required to satisfy such Claims.

7.9 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. All payments (if any) made to a Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article VII will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law.

7.10 Appointment of Representative.

The Shareholder Representative shall have authority and power to act on behalf of each Company Shareholder with respect to the disposition, settlement or other handling of all claims under this Article VII and all rights or obligations arising

-72-

No bond shall be required of the Shareholder Representative, and the Shareholder Representative shall receive no compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Company Shareholders.

(b) In performing the functions specified in this Agreement, the Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to any Company Shareholder in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Shareholder Representative.

If not paid directly to the Shareholder Representative by the Company Shareholders, such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Shareholder Representative from Escrow Amount otherwise distributable to the Company Shareholders (and not distributed or distributable to any Parent Indemnified Person or subject to a pending indemnification claim of any Parent Indemnified Person) following the Escrow Termination Date pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Escrow Agreement, at the time of distribution, and such recovery will be made from the Company Shareholders according to their respective Proportionate Interests.

-74-

which effects any changes which would materially adversely affect the Company Shareholders without the further approval of the Company Shareholders.

The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.7 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

Exhibit B

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This Escrow Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of August [ ], 2006 (the “Closing Date”), is entered into by and among Secure Computing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), CT Shareholders’ Representative LLC, the entity (the “Shareholders’ Representative”) appointed to act as representative of the shareholders of CipherTrust, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Acquired Company”), and , or its successor as provided in Section 5(i) hereof, each as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 11, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Buyer, Peach Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”), the Acquired Company and the Shareholders’ Representative.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Buyer will acquire all of the equity securities of the Acquired Company for cash and stock through a reverse subsidiary merger of the Acquisition Subsidiary with and into the Acquired Company on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Shareholders’ Representative is the agent and representative of the shareholders of the Acquired Company (the “Shareholders”), and has the full power, authority and discretion, to act for and on behalf of the Shareholders in regards to the Shareholders’ rights under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement including the resolution of all claims for indemnification under the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is entered into pursuant to Section 1.7(c) of the Merger Agreement to establish a source of funds for the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders which may arise pursuant to Article VII of the Merger Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW

(a) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent (i) $18,500,000 by wire transfer in immediately available funds (the “Escrow Cash”) to the account of Escrow Agent referenced on Schedule A hereto, and (ii) a stock certificate (as such certificate may be canceled and reissued in accordance with Section 3(a), the “Escrow Stock Certificate”) issued in the name of the Shareholders’ Representative representing 1,000,000 shares of the Buyer’s common stock (as such shares may be reduced in accordance with Section 3(a), the “Escrow Stock”), and Escrow Agent shall acknowledge receipt of the Escrow Cash and the Escrow Stock. The Escrow Cash

(together with any earnings thereon) and the Escrow Stock (together with any dividends or other distributions payable with respect thereto), as they may be reduced by any Claims, disbursements, amounts withdrawn under Section 5(j) or losses on investments, are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Escrow Fund.”

(b) Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative hereby appoint Escrow Agent as escrow agent under this Agreement, and Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as escrow agent to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. The Escrow Fund shall be held by Escrow Agent in separate accounts maintained for such purpose.

(c) The Escrow Stock will be reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Buyer’s balance sheet. All dividends paid by the Buyer, if any, with respect to the Escrow stock shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Shareholders within [30] business days following receipt of such dividend by the Escrow Agent, with each Shareholder to receive an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such dividend, multiplied by the percentage set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name under the heading “Escrow Stock Percentage” on Schedule C hereto. The Shareholders’ Representative will have voting rights with respect to the Escrow Stock so long as such Escrow Stock is held in escrow, and Parent shall take all reasonable steps necessary to allow the exercise of such rights. While the Escrow Stock remains in the Escrow Agent’s possession pursuant to this Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative will retain and will be able to exercise all other incidents of ownership of said Escrow Stock which are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to the rights of Parent under the Merger Agreement and this Escrow Agreement, all beneficial interest in the Escrow Stock shall be the property of the Shareholders’ Representative from and after the Closing, and Parent shall have no interest therein. None of the rights of the Shareholders’ Representative hereunder shall be transferable except as otherwise provided by law.

(d) The Escrow Fund will not be available to set off any obligations the Shareholders’ Representative or Buyer owes to Escrow Agent in any capacity, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

2. INVESTMENT OF ESCROW CASH

Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Cash as Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative may from time to time jointly instruct Escrow Agent in writing in (i) savings accounts with, or certificates of deposit issued by, federally chartered banks or trust companies, the assets of which are at least $100,000,000 in excess of their liabilities, (ii) United States Treasury Bills (or an investment portfolio or fund investing only in United States Treasury Bills), (iii) commercial paper rated in the highest grade by a nationally recognized credit rating agency or (iv) an STI Classic Money Market Fund (as long as such money market fund is rated AAA by a nationally recognized credit rating agency), until disbursement of all the Escrow Cash. Unless instructed otherwise in writing, Escrow Agent shall invest all the Escrow Cash in an STI Classic Money Market Fund. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss or diminution in the Escrow Cash resulting from investments made in accordance with the provisions of this

- 2 -

Agreement. All income from such investments shall be reinvested and held by Escrow Agent as a part of the Escrow Cash. Escrow Agent is authorized to liquidate in accordance with its customary procedures any portion of the Escrow Fund consisting of investments to provide for payments required to be made under this Agreement.

3. CLAIMS

(a) During the Survival Period, Buyer may give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Shareholders’ Representative and Escrow Agent specifying in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any claim (a “Claim”) it may have under Article VII of the Merger Agreement; Buyer may make more than one claim with respect to any underlying state of facts. If the Shareholders’ Representative gives written notice to Escrow Agent disputing any Claim (a “Contested Claim”) within 30 calendar days following receipt by Escrow Agent of the Notice of Claim, such Claim shall be resolved as provided in Section 3(c) of this Agreement. If no Contested Claim is received by Escrow Agent within such 30 calendar-day period, then the dollar amount of damages claimed by Buyer (the “Claim Amount”) as set forth in its Notice of Claim shall be deemed established for purposes of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and Escrow Agent shall pay the claim in accordance with Section 3(b). Escrow Agent shall not inquire into or consider whether a Claim complies with the requirements of the Merger Agreement. As used herein, “Survival Period” means the 15-month period following the date of this Agreement

(b) At the end of the 30 calendar-day period set forth in Section 3(a) (or within 30 calendar days following receipt of joint written instructions of Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative or notice of a Final Decision, as the case may be), Escrow Agent shall pay the applicable Claim as follows:

(i) An amount equal to [__]% [NOTE: Cash and stock to be disbursed by Escrow Agent will be in the same proportion as such forms of consideration constitute the initial Escrow Fund] of the Claim Amount will be wire transferred in immediately available funds out of the Escrow Cash to an account designated by Buyer.

(ii) Escrow Agent shall surrender the Escrow Stock Certificate to ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank Shareowner Services, Buyer’s exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), for cancellation. The Exchange Agent will deliver a new Escrow Stock Certificate to the Escrow Agent, issued to the Shareholders’ Representative, representing the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock equal to (x) the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock represented by the canceled Escrow Stock Certificate minus (y) the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock obtained by dividing (1) the product of [__]% and the Claim Amount by (2) the price per share of Buyer’s common stock as of the day immediately preceding the day the Claim is paid. Upon the request of the Escrow Agent, Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative will deliver a joint written instruction to the Exchange Agent and the Escrow Agent setting forth the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock represented by the Claim Amount as well as the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock for which the new Escrow Stock Certificate will be issued.

- 3 -

(c) If a Contested Claim is received by Escrow Agent as provided in Section 3(a) of this Agreement with respect to a Claim, Escrow Agent shall make payment with respect thereto only in accordance with (i) joint written instructions of Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative or (ii) a written notification from Buyer of a final decision, order, judgment or decree of an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction (a “Final Decision”), which notification shall attach a copy of such Final Decision.

(d) All disbursements made by Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made (i) in the case of the Escrow Cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing to Escrow Agent by Buyer, or (ii) in the case of the Escrow Stock, by surrendering to the Buyer the Escrow Stock Certificate for cancellation and reissuance pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii).

- 4 -

4. TERMINATION OF ESCROW

(a) Within 10 business days following the termination of the Survival Period, Escrow Agent shall pay and distribute any then-remaining amount of the Escrow Fund to the Shareholders as follows:

(i) With respect to the Escrow Cash, subject to Section 4(b), Escrow Agent shall pay to each Shareholder an amount equal to such Shareholder’s percentage interest in the Escrow Cash as set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name under the heading “Escrow Cash Percentage” on Schedule B hereto. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, any Excess Escrow Cash (as defined below) shall not be distributed to the Shareholders, but shall be distributed to the Buyer. As used herein, “Excess Escrow Cash” means any Escrow Cash in excess of an amount equal to the sum of (i) $18,500,000 plus (ii) an amount calculated in a manner similar to interest at a rate of 15% per annum, compounded annually, on a notional principal amount of $18,500,000, calculated from the Effective Time through the date that the Escrow Cash otherwise would be distributable to the Shareholders.

(ii) With respect to the Escrow Stock, Escrow Agent shall surrender the Escrow Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for cancellation. The Exchange Agent shall reissue stock certificates representing shares of Buyer’s common stock to each Shareholder set forth on Schedule C hereto. Subject to Section 4(b), the Exchange Agent shall issue to each such Shareholder the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock obtained by multiplying the then-remaining Escrow Stock by the percentage set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name under the heading “Escrow Stock Percentage” on Schedule C hereto.

- 5 -

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4(a), if any unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims are pending at the expiration of the Survival Period (the “Pending Claims”), the Escrow Agent shall retain the following from the Escrow Fund:

(i) With respect to the Escrow Cash, an amount equal to [__]% of the total maximum dollar value of the Pending Claims, together with any earnings attributable to such amounts.

(ii) With respect to the Escrow Stock, the Escrow Agent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to issue to the Escrow Agent a stock certificate representing the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock equal to the value of [__]% of the total maximum dollar value of the Pending Claims, with a pro rata reduction in each of the stock certificates to be issued to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii). Upon the request of the Escrow Agent, Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative will deliver a joint written instruction to the Exchange Agent and the Escrow Agent setting forth the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock represented by the Pending Claims, the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock for which the new Escrow Stock Certificate will be issued, and the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock to be issued to the Shareholders.

Upon receipt by Escrow Agent of the joint written instructions of Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative or notice of a Final Decision as contemplated by Section 3(c) of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the remaining Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 4(a).

(c) All disbursements of Escrow Cash made by Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing to Escrow Agent by Buyer or the Shareholders’ Representative, as applicable. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability with respect to the transfer or distribution of any funds or stock effected by the Escrow Agent pursuant to wiring or transfer instructions provided to the Escrow Agent by any party to this Agreement.

5. DUTIES OF ESCROW AGENT

(a) Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied. Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to take notice of or inquire as to the provisions of any agreement (including but not limited to the Merger Agreement) other than this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to Buyer or the Shareholders’ Representative. Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping and disbursement of the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein. Escrow Agent may rely upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by Buyer and/or the Shareholders’ Representative. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special,

- 6 -

consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrow Fund, any account in which Escrow Cash is deposited, this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding. Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute hereunder, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully indemnified from any liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel. Buyer shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of any such counsel.

Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Fund, without determination by Escrow Agent of such court’s jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of the Escrow Fund is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if Escrow Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of Buyer or the Shareholders’ Representative or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(b) From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative, jointly and severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation Buyer or the Shareholders’ Representative, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any Indemnified Parties under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject

- 7 -

to no further appeal, to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by Buyer. The obligations of Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative under this Section 5(b) shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

(c) Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages or expenses arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, unless arising out of Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall in no event be liable in connection with its investment or reinvestment of any cash held by it hereunder in good faith, in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, any liability for any delays (not resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct) in the investment or reinvestment of the Escrow Fund, or any loss of interest incident to any such delays.

(d) Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the service thereof. Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that the person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document on behalf of Buyer or the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent may conclusively presume that the undersigned representative of any party hereto which is an entity other than a natural person has full power and authority to instruct Escrow Agent on behalf of that party unless written notice to the contrary is delivered to Escrow Agent.

(e) Escrow Agent may act pursuant to the advice of counsel with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such advice.

(f) Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Fund deposited hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof. Any payments of income from this Escrow Fund shall be subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to any Tax. On or before the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, will provide Escrow Agent with appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 for tax identification number certification or applicable Forms W-8 in the case of non-U.S. persons. This Section 5(f) of this Agreement shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the resignation of Escrow Agent.

(g) Escrow Agent makes no representation as to the validity, value, genuineness or the collectability of any security or other document or instrument held by or delivered to it.

- 8 -

(h) Escrow Agent shall not be called upon to advise any party as to the wisdom in selling or retaining or taking or refraining from any action with respect to any securities or other property deposited hereunder.

(i) Escrow Agent (and any successor Escrow Agent) may at any time resign as such by delivering the Escrow Fund to any successor Escrow Agent jointly designated by the other parties hereto in writing, or to any court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement. The resignation of Escrow Agent will take effect on the earlier of (a) the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent (including a court of competent jurisdiction) or (b) the day which is 30 calendar days after the date of delivery of its written notice of resignation to Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative. If at that time Escrow Agent has not received a designation of a successor Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after that time shall be to retain and safeguard the Escrow Fund until receipt of a designation of successor Escrow Agent, a joint written disposition instruction by the other parties hereto or notice from Buyer of a Final Decision, or Escrow Agent’s deposit of the Escrow Fund into the registry of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(j) In the event of any disagreement between the other parties hereto resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the Escrow Fund or in the event that Escrow Agent is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to retain the Escrow Fund until Escrow Agent shall have received (i) a notice from Buyer of a Final Decision directing delivery of the Escrow Fund or (ii) a written agreement executed by the other parties hereto directing delivery of the Escrow Fund, in which event Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance with such Final Decision or agreement. In the event of any such disagreement as described above, Escrow Agent shall have the right, in addition to the rights described above and at the election of Escrow Agent, to tender into the registry or custody of any court having jurisdiction, all money and property comprising the Escrow Fund and may take such other legal action as may be appropriate or necessary, in the opinion of Escrow Agent. Upon such tender, the parties hereto agree that Escrow Agent shall be discharged from all further duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the filing of any such legal proceedings shall not deprive Escrow Agent of its compensation hereunder earned prior to such filing and discharge of Escrow Agent of its duties hereunder.

(k) Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative shall compensate Escrow Agent for its services hereunder in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto and, in addition, shall reimburse Escrow Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees, travel expenses, telephone and facsimile transmission costs, postage (including express mail and overnight delivery charges), copying charges and the like. All of the compensation and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 5(k) shall be payable 50% by Buyer and 50% by the Shareholders’ Representative upon demand by Escrow Agent. The obligations of Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative under this Section 5(k) shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent is authorized to, and may, disburse to itself from the Escrow Fund, from time to time, the amount of any

- 9 -

compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof) after providing 10 business-days prior written notice to Buyer and the Shareholders’ representative. Escrow Agent shall notify Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative of any disbursement from the Escrow Fund to itself or any Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and shall furnish to Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative copies of all related invoices and other statements. Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative hereby grant to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties a security interest in and lien upon the Escrow Fund to secure all obligations with respect to the right to offset the amount of any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof) against the Escrow Fund. If for any reason funds in the Escrow Fund are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative jointly and severally agree promptly to pay such amounts to Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party upon receipt of a complete and accurate itemized invoice.

(l) The other parties hereto authorize Escrow Agent, for any securities held hereunder, to use the services of any United States central securities depository it reasonably deems appropriate, including, without limitation, the Depositary Trust Company and the Federal Reserve Book Entry System.

6. LIMITED RESPONSIBILITY

This Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this agreement against Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among the other parties hereto except this Agreement.

7. OWNERSHIP FOR TAX PURPOSES

The Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative agree that, for purposes of any Tax, the Buyer will be treated as the owner of the Escrow Cash, including all income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the Escrow Cash until such time as such Escrow Cash is distributed to the Buyer or the Shareholders’ Representative, and that the Buyer will include such income, if any, in its taxable income in the taxable year or years in which such income is properly includible and pay any Taxes attributable thereto; provided, however, that the Buyer shall be reimbursed from the Escrow Fund for the payment of such taxes as follows: (i) not later than seven Business Days prior to each of April 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 (each, an “Estimated Tax Date”), Escrow Agent shall provide the Buyer with an estimate of the taxable income attributable to the Escrow Fund for the Buyer’s estimated tax period ending immediately prior to the Estimated Tax Date; (ii) not later than five Business Days prior to the Estimated Tax Date, the Buyer shall provide the Escrow Agent with a schedule setting forth the amount of taxes payable by the Buyer with respect to such taxable income, taking into account the highest marginal federal, state and local tax rates applicable to the Buyer for such tax period and the deductibility of state and local income taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (iii) not later than three Business Days prior to the Estimated Tax Date, the Escrow Agent shall

- 10 -

release to an account designated by the Buyer an amount, in cash, equal to such taxes payable by the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided, Escrow Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any Tax Return with respect to the Escrow Fund or any income earned thereon.

Exhibit E

SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION

EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION,

INVENTION ASSIGNMENT, AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

As a condition of my employment with SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (together the “Company”), and in consideration of my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by Company, I agree to the following:

1. At-Will Employment/Termination of Employment.

(a) I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS FOR AN UNSPECIFIED DURATION AND CONSTITUTES “AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNAUTHORIZED AND NOT VALID UNLESS OBTAINED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE COMPANY. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE OR FOR ANY OR NO CAUSE, AT THE OPTION EITHER OF THE COMPANY OR MYSELF, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE.

(b)	The Company shall have the right, on written notice to you,

(i)

to terminate your employment immediately at any time for cause, or

(ii)

to terminate your employment at any time without cause provided the Company shall be obligated in either case to pay to you as severance an amount equal to six month’s base salary less applicable taxes and other required withholdings and any amount you may owe to the Company, payable in full immediately upon such termination. Such severance payment shall be contingent upon you signing a Separation and Release Agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company which assures, among other things, that you will not commence any type of litigation or other claims as a result of the termination.

(c) For purposes of this Section, you may be terminated for cause if, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), you are convicted of any felony or of any crime involving moral turpitude, or participate in fraud against the Company, or intentionally damage any property of the Company, or wrongfully disclose any trade secrets or other confidential information of the Company to any of its competitors, or materially breach Section 2 (Confidential Information) of this Agreement.

2. Confidential Information.

(a) Company Information. I agree at all times during the term of my employment and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use or disclose, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm or corporation without written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, any Confidential Information of the Company. I understand that “Confidential Information” means any Company proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on whom I called or with whom I became acquainted during the term of my employment), markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering data, hardware configuration information, marketing, financial or other business information disclosed to me by the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment. I further understand that Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items which has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of mine or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved or improvements or new versions thereof.

(b) Former Employer Information. I agree that I will not, during my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity and that I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

(c) Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party.

3. Inventions.

(a) Inventions Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto, as Exhibit A, a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by me prior to my employment with the Company (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”), which belong to me, which relate to the Company’s proposed business, products or research and development, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such Prior Inventions. If in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.

(b) Assignment of Inventions. I agree that I will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company (collectively referred to as “Inventions”), except as provided in Section 3(f) below. I further acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment with the Company and which are protectible by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any invention developed by me solely or jointly with others is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to me as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such invention.

(c) Inventions Assigned to the United States. I agree to assign to the United States government all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions whenever such full title is required to be in the United States by a contract between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies.

(d) Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be specified by the Company. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

(e) Patent and Copyright Registrations. I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

(f) Exception to Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which is developed entirely on my own time and (i) does not relate directly or indirectly to the Company’s business or to its actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (ii) does not result from any work performed by me for the Company.

4. Conflicting Employment. I agree that, during the term of my employment with the Company, I will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of my employment, nor will I engage in any other activities that conflict with my obligations to the Company.

5. Returning Company Documents. I agree that, at the time of leaving the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by me pursuant to my employment with the Company or otherwise belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns, including, without limitation, those records maintained pursuant to paragraph 3(d). In the event of the termination of my employment, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached hereto as Exhibit B.

6. Notification of New Employer. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby grant consent to notification by the Company to my new employer about my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

7. Covenant Not to Compete. To the full extent permitted by law, I agree that during the course of my employment with Secure Computing and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of my employment (whether voluntary or involuntary), I will not directly or indirectly solicit, offer to provide, or provide any services similar to those Secure Computing offers to any individual or entity with whom I worked during the last twelve (12) months of my employment with Secure Computing or for any for any individual or entity which is directly or indirectly competitive with Secure Computing’s business, unless I have written consent of Secure Computing.

8. Non-solicitation.

(a) Non-solicitation of Employees. To the full extent permitted by law, for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, I shall not, by myself or in collaboration with others, either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees of the Company, either for myself or any other person or entity.

(b) Non-solicitation of Business. To the full extent permitted by law, for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, I will not divert or attempt to divert from the Company any business the Company had enjoyed or solicited from its customers or potential customers during the twelve (12) months prior to my termination of employment.

9. Representations. I agree to execute any proper oath or verify any proper document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict herewith.

10. Arbitration and Equitable Relief.

(a) Arbitration. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 11(b) BELOW, I AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONCERNING ANY INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION TO BE HELD IN ▇▇▇▇▇▇ COUNTY, MINNESOTA, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EMPLOYMENT DISPUTE RESOLUTION RULES THEN IN EFFECT OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY GRANT INJUNCTIONS OR OTHER RELIEF IN SUCH DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION. JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED ON THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION. THE COMPANY AND I SHALL EACH PAY ONE-HALF OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH ARBITRATION, AND EACH OF US SHALL SEPARATELY PAY OUR COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES.

THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF EMPLOYEE’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 10(b) BELOW), INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS:

i. ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR WRONGFUL DISCHARGE OF EMPLOYMENT; BREACH OF CONTRACT, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED; BREACH OF THE COVENANT OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION; NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACT OR PROSPECTIVE ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE; AND DEFAMATION;

ii. ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR VIOLATION OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR MUNICIPAL STATUTE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1991, THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, AND THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT;

iii. ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT OR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION.

(b) Equitable Remedies. I AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE OR INADEQUATE TO MEASURE AND CALCULATE THE COMPANY’S DAMAGES FROM ANY BREACH OF THE COVENANTS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 2, 3, AND 5 HEREIN. ACCORDINGLY, I AGREE THAT IF I BREACH ANY OF SUCH SECTIONS, THE COMPANY WILL HAVE AVAILABLE, IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY AVAILABLE, THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN AN INJUNCTION FROM A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION RESTRAINING SUCH BREACH OR THREATENED BREACH AND TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF ANY SUCH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT. I FURTHER AGREE THAT NO BOND OR OTHER SECURITY SHALL BE REQUIRED IN OBTAINING SUCH EQUITABLE RELIEF AND I HEREBY CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH INJUNCTION AND TO THE ORDERING OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

(c) Consideration. I UNDERSTAND THAT EACH PARTY’S PROMISE TO RESOLVE CLAIMS BY ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, RATHER THAN THROUGH THE COURTS, IS CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PARTY’S LIKE PROMISE. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT I AM OFFERED EMPLOYMENT IN CONSIDERATION OF MY PROMISE TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS.

11.	General Provisions.

(a) Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Minnesota for any lawsuit filed there against me by the Company arising from or relating to this Agreement.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

(c) Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed void by law, then the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns.

SHAREHOLDER CERTIFICATE

The undersigned is aware that pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July , 2006 (the “Agreement”), entered into by and among Secure Computing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Secure”), Peach Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Secure (“Sub”), and CipherTrust, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), Sub will merge within and into the Company (the “Merger”) and all shares of the Company’s Capital Stock will be exchanged for the Merger Consideration. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

The undersigned understands that the execution of this Certificate is a condition precedent to the undersigned’s receipt of a portion of Merger Consideration in the Merger (pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement).

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to Secure as follows:

1. Investment Representations.

(a) Investment Purpose. The undersigned is acquiring the shares of Secure common stock that the undersigned will receive from Secure pursuant to the Merger (the “Secure Shares”) for the undersigned’s own account, for investment only and not with a view toward the resale or distribution thereof.

(b) Residence of Shareholder. The undersigned is a resident of the U.S. state (or other jurisdiction) shown in the undersigned’s address below and will be the sole party in interest as to the Secure Shares.

(c) Exemption from Registration. The undersigned understands that he must bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period of time because the Secure Shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or the securities laws of any U.S. state. The undersigned has been advised that the issuance of the Secure Shares pursuant to the Merger is not being registered under the 1933 Act on the basis that such transaction is exempt from such registration requirements as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering in reliance on Regulation D, as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the 1933 Act, and that reliance by Secure on such exemption is predicated in part on the undersigned’s representations set forth herein. The undersigned acknowledges that Secure makes no representations of any kind concerning its intent or ability to offer or sell the Secure Shares in a public offering or otherwise in the U.S.

(d) Economic Risk. The undersigned represents and warrants that he, she or it is able to bear the economic risk of losing his, her or its entire investment

in Secure, which is not disproportionate to the undersigned’s net worth, and that the undersigned has adequate means of providing for the undersigned’s current needs and personal contingencies without regard to the investment in Secure.

(e) No Outside Representations and Warranties. The undersigned represents and warrants that in connection with his, her or its acquisition of the Secure Shares no oral or written representations or warranties have been made to the undersigned other than those as may be contained in the Agreement, the Information Statement delivered herewith, or any documents filed by Secure with the SEC. The undersigned acknowledges that no person is authorized to give any information or to make any statement not contained n this Certificate, the Agreement, the Information Statement or the documents filed with the SEC, and that any information or statement not contained herein or therein must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Secure, any affiliates of Secure, or any professional advisors thereto.

(f) Informed Investment Decision. The undersigned represents and warrants that, to the extent the undersigned has deemed necessary, the undersigned has consulted with his, her or its attorney, financial advisors and others regarding all financial, securities and tax aspects of the proposed investment, and that said advisors have reviewed the Agreement, and all documents relating thereto on the undersigned’s behalf. The undersigned and his, her or its advisors have sufficient knowledge and experience in business and financial matters to evaluate Secure and the risks and merits of an investment in Secure, to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto, and to protect the undersigned’s interest in connection with the undersigned’s subscription without need for the additional information which would be required to be included in more complete registration statements effective under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. The undersigned acknowledges that neither Secure nor its affiliates nor any of their financial, securities, tax or legal advisors have provided him, her or it with any advice or recommendations with respect to the advantages, disadvantages or other aspects of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

(g) Access to Additional Information. The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned and his, her or its advisors have had an opportunity to ask questions of and to receive answers from the officers of Secure and to obtain additional information in writing to the extent that Secure possesses such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense: (i) relative to Secure and the issuance of the Secure Shares in the Merger; and (ii) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information, documents, books and records furnished. All such materials and information requested by the undersigned and his, her or its advisors (including information requested to verify information previously furnished) have been made available and examined by the undersigned or his, her or its advisors.

(h) Legend. The undersigned agrees that stop-transfer instructions may be placed upon the transfer records of Secure and that each certificate representing the Secure Shares may be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, BUT HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF FOR PURPOSES OF INVESTMENT AND IN RELIANCE ON STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS UNDER THE 1933 ACT, AND STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED, EXCEPT IN A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER PROVISIONS OF THE 1933 ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT THEREUNDER; AND IN THE CASE OF AN EXEMPTION ONLY IF THE CORPORATION HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION OF ANY SUCH SECURITIES.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of 2006, by and among Secure Computing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), CipherTrust, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned shareholder of the Company (“Holder”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

BACKGROUND

A. Parent, the Company and Peach Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as July 11, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for the merger of the Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to which the Company shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has been advised that Holder may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of Parent after the consummation of the Merger as the term “affiliate” is defined in Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), although nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission by Holder that Holder will in fact be an “affiliate” of Parent after the consummation of the Merger.

C. As a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, Holder has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Acknowledgments by Holder. Holder has carefully read this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and has had the opportunity to discuss the requirements of this Agreement with Holder’s professional advisors, who Holder believes are qualified to advise Holder with regard to such matters.

2. Lock-up.

(a) Holder agrees, during the 180 day period beginning on the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), not to offer, contract to sell or otherwise sell, dispose of, loan, pledge, grant any rights with respect to, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale (each, a “Disposition”) of any shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall not prohibit a transfer of any shares of Parent Common Stock by Holder, (i) if such shares of Parent Common Stock were acquired by the undersigned in the open market, (ii) to a family member or trust, (iii) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (iv) as a distribution to

partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned, (v) pursuant to a sale of 100% of the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock (including in connection with a tender offer for such shares or by way of merger of Parent with another Person), or (vi) to an affiliated Person under common control with Holder; provided, however, that such transfers shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such transfer, the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Section 2(a).

(b) Holder understands that there will be placed on the certificates for the Parent Common Stock issued to Holder, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE HELD BY AN “AFFILIATE” OF SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION AND MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED (1) IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND (2) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT DATED JULY 11, 2006 BETWEEN THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION AND CIPHERTRUST, INC., A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION.”

It is understood and agreed that the legend contemplated in this Section 2(b) shall be removed by delivery of a substitute certificate without such legend if Holder shall have delivered to Parent a copy of a letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent, to the effect that such legend is not required for purposes of the 1933 Act; provided, however, it is further understood and agreed that if the Lock-Up Period has expired and Holder is not then an “affiliate” of Parent, Holder may request in writing that this legend be removed, and Parent thereafter will reissue a substitute certificate without this legend, without requiring the delivery of such a letter or written opinion.

(c) Immediately following the Closing Date, Parent and Company shall mutually prepare, and Parent shall file, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued to Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

3. Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect in the event of the termination of the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date.

4. Miscellaneous.

-2-

application of such provision to persons, entities or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b) Binding Effect and 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, but, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of the parties hereto may be assigned by either of the parties without prior written consent of the other party hereto.

(c) Amendments and Modification. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (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.

(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of Holder, Parent and the Company relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among Holder, Parent and the Company relating to the subject matter hereof.

(f) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any legal actions or proceeding to enforce or interpret the provisions hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not the proceeding results in a final judgment.

(g) Further Assurances. Holder shall execute and/or cause to be delivered to Parent and the Company such instruments and other documents and shall take such other actions as Parent may reasonably request to effectuate the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

(h) Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and other provisions contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Merger.

(i) Notices. All notices and other communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the parties at the following address (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall not prohibit a transfer of any shares of Parent Common Stock by Holder, (i) if such shares of Parent Common Stock were acquired by the undersigned in the open market, (ii) to a family member or trust, (iii) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (iv) as a distribution to partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned, (v) pursuant to a sale of 100% of the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock (including in connection with a tender offer for such shares or by way of merger of Parent with another Person), or (vi) to an affiliated Person under common control with Holder; provided, however, that such transfers shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such transfer, the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Section 2(a).

(b) Holder understands that there will be placed on the certificates for the Parent Common Stock issued to Holder, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT DATED JULY 11, 2006 BETWEEN THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION AND CIPHERTRUST, INC., A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION.”

It is understood and agreed that the legend contemplated in this Section 2(b) shall be removed by delivery of a substitute certificate without such legend if Holder shall have delivered to Parent a copy of a letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent, to the effect that such legend is not required for purposes of the 1933 Act; provided, however, it is further understood and agreed that if the Lock-Up Period has expired, Holder may request in writing that this legend be removed, and Parent thereafter will reissue a substitute certificate without this legend, without requiring the delivery of such a letter or written opinion.

3. Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect in the event of the termination of the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date.

4. Miscellaneous.

(a) Waiver; Severability. No waiver by any party hereto of any condition or of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by each party hereto. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any person, entity or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons, entities or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. Subordination. Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Obligations (such term as used herein shall mean the “Obligations” as defined in each Credit Agreement to be entered into pursuant to the Financing Commitment Letter (as defined in the Merger Agreement); the “Obligations”) of the Company under the Credit Agreements (such Obligations and other indebtedness and obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding, restructuring or refinancing thereof, including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any proceedings referred to in clause (i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Senior Indebtedness”):

(i) In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness before the Holder is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of this Note and (y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness, any payment or distribution to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;

(ii) no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Company or any other Person on its behalf with respect to this Note, except as expressly allowed pursuant to the terms of the Senior Indebtedness; and

(iii) if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Holder in violation of clause (i) or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash and the termination of all commitments to extend credit thereunder, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be

- 3 -

paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such holder. Holder and the Company hereby agree that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of the Secured Parties (such term used herein shall mean the “Secured Parties” as defined in each of the Credit Agreements to be entered into pursuant to the Financing Commitment Letter and the related Loan Documents as such term is defined therein; the “Secured Parties”) and the [Administrative Agent]³ and the [Second Lien Administrative Agent]⁴ may, on behalf of themselves and other Secured Parties proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein.

8. Transfer; Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may not assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer this Note without the prior written consent of the Company, except for transfers to affiliates. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Note may be transferred only upon surrender of the original Note for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company. Thereupon, a new note for the same principal amount and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Interest and principal are payable only to the registered holder of this Note.

9. Governing Law. This Note and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

10. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Note may be amended only with the written consent of the Company and at least a majority in interest of the Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon the Company, each Holder and each transferee of any Note.
