(A) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time eligible under Section 262 of the DGCL to exercise appraisal rights and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand, and properly demands, appraisal of such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), and complies in all respects with the provisions of Section 262 and has not effectively withdrawn or lost the right to demand relief as a dissenting stockholder under the DGCL as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Final Adjusted Merger Consideration pursuant to in Section 2.7(b)(i), and the holder or holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders in Section 262 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7(b)(iv), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of

such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(i), without interest, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

(B) The Company shall (1) comply with the requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL, (2) give Parent prompt notice of any written demand received by the Company pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, of withdrawals of such demands, and provide copies of any documents or instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (3) give Parent the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands.

(i) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the potential adjustments contemplated by Section 2.9(e)), at the Effective Time, Parent shall assume all Company Options that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whereupon such Company Options shall be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Option as of immediately prior to such assumption by Parent (except as provided below, as set forth in Section 2.9(e), and after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs as a result of the consummation of the Merger) the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by a fraction (the “Option Exchange Ratio”), the numerator of which shall be equal to the Estimated Per Share Consideration and the denominator of which shall be equal to the average of the closing prices of Parent Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange as reported on ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ for the ten (10) trading days ending on (and inclusive of) the trading day that is two (2) trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date at an exercise price per share of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of such Company Option, by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent (each, as so adjusted, an “Assumed Option”); provided, however, that the terms of each Assumed Option will provide that:

(A) if a holder of an Assumed Option exercises such Assumed Option, in whole or in part, prior to the release of Escrow Funds to the Indemnifying Parties (other than any portion of the Escrow Funds withheld to cover pending and unresolved Indemnification Claims) pursuant to ARTICLE 8, then a Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder in respect of such exercise shall be withheld, liquidated by the administrator of Parent’s stock option plan, and the proceeds of such liquidation deposited into the Escrow Fund for and on behalf of such option holder; and

(B) if a holder of an Assumed Option exercises such Assumed Option, in whole or in part, after any Escrow Funds are recovered by the Parent Indemnified Parties (or any of them) in respect of an Indemnification Claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a), then the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder in respect of such exercise shall be issued on a net basis, after deducting a sufficient number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to cover such holder’s Company Option Holder Pro Rata Percentage of the Escrow Funds recovered by the Indemnified Parties in respect of such

Indemnification Claim, and the amount otherwise required to be deposited into the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(i)(A) shall be reduced by the value of such deducted shares.

Parent and the Company acknowledge and hereby agree that the Option Exchange Ratio contemplated above shall be derived at the Effective Time from the Estimated Adjusted Merger Consideration calculated pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(iii), and shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.9(e).

(ii) The assumption and conversion of Company Options contemplated by this Section 2.7(c) shall be effected in a manner that is intended to satisfy the requirements of Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code and the proposed and final Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any applicable securities laws.

(iii) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action necessary to effect the treatment of Company Options provided for under this Section 2.7(c) under the Company Stock Plan, all Contracts governing the terms of all Company Options and under any other plan or arrangement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound, including by giving any required notice and obtaining any required consent contemplated thereby. The Company shall not send any notices to any holders of Company Options, or solicit any consents or other approvals from the holders of any Company Options unless and until Parent has reviewed and approved all notices and related documentation (including any email messages and notifications) to be sent to such holders of Company Options in connection therewith (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that the Company shall send a notice to any holders of Company Options that are being assumed by Parent pursuant to Section 2.7(c), such notice shall set forth the rights of such holders of Company Options pursuant to the applicable Company Stock Plan and inform such holders that the agreements evidencing the grants of such Company Options shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.7(c) at the Effective Time).

(iv) Within ten (10) calendar days immediately following the Closing Date, Parent shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-8, if available for use by Parent, registering that number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all Assumed Options that are eligible to be registered on Form S-8.

(iv) “Final Adjusted Merger Consideration” shall have the following meaning:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to withhold from the aggregate Final Adjusted Merger Consideration otherwise payable to holders of Company Common Stock in the Merger pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(i) an amount of cash equal to the Company Stockholder Escrow Amount.

The Escrow Fund shall be held and distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Fund as partial security for the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

The Representative Expense Amount shall be withheld from each holder of Company Common Stock on a pro rata basis, calculated based on each holder’s Company Stockholder Pro Rata Percentage. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Representative an amount in cash equal to the Representative Expense Amount (such funds being referred to herein as the “Representative Expense Fund”). Each holder of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have contributed to the Representative Expense Fund such holder’s pro rata portion of the Representative Expense Amount (based on the amount of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration payable to such holder of Company Common Stock under this Agreement in respect of such holder’s Company Common Stock (without giving effect to the escrow contributions or holdbacks contemplated by this Agreement) relative to the aggregate Final Adjusted Merger Consideration payable in respect of Company Common Stock), to be held by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement. If, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (and after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs as a result of the consummation of the Merger), a holder of Company Common Stock shall hold any Unvested Company Capital Stock, then all or a portion of any Final Adjusted Merger Consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement in respect of any Vested Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder shall be withheld and deposited into the Representative Expense Fund prior to the deposit of any Unvested Cash and, thereafter, any Unvested Cash payable to such Company Stockholder under this Agreement shall be withheld and deposited into the Representative Expense Fund if and only to the extent necessary to satisfy such Company Stockholder’s entire representative expense fund contribution obligation under this Agreement (with the understanding and agreement that any Unvested Cash so deposited into the Representative Expense Fund on behalf of any such Company Stockholder shall vest prior to any Unvested Cash payable under this Agreement in respect of any Unvested Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder that is not so deposited into the Representative Expense Fund). The Representative Expense Amount shall be held and distributed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Representative shall hold the Representative Expense Fund as partial security for the reimbursement obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this

Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Following the expiration of the Survival Period in accordance with its terms and the satisfaction of any Indemnification Claims outstanding at such expiration, the Representative shall transfer any amounts remaining in the Representative Expense Fund to the Paying Agent to be distributed to the Indemnifying Parties upon the terms and conditions set forth in ARTICLE 8.

(d) Payment Procedures.

(i) After the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the Company shall mail to each Company Stockholder a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a “Stockholder Transmittal Letter”), which shall (A) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to a certificate(s) representing shares of the Company Capital Stock that are being converted into the right to receive payment pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(i) (each, a “Company Stock Certificate”) shall pass only upon delivery of such certificate(s) to the Paying Agent after the Effective Time, (B) be in such form and have such other reasonable provisions not inconsistent with this Agreement as Parent and the Representative may specify, (C) include IRS Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN or any successor form and, where required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (D) include instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificate(s) for that portion of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock represented thereby under this Agreement. The payment of the appropriate Closing Payment (as defined below) to any holder of Company Common Stock is expressly conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a Stockholder Transmittal Letter, properly completed and duly executed by each such Company Stockholder. After the Effective Time, and within two (2) business days after the Paying Agent receives a Company Stock Certificate, together with a properly completed and duly executed Stockholder Transmittal Letter, the Paying Agent shall pay to such Company Stockholder that portion of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration (determined, solely for purposes of this Section 2.9(d)(i), as if the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration is equivalent to the Estimated Adjusted Merger Consideration) payable to such Company Stockholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificate(s), less (w) that portion of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholder in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock that Parent is required to withhold from such Company Stockholder under applicable Tax withholding laws, if any, (x) that portion of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholder in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock that Parent is entitled to withhold pursuant to Section 2.8(b) and deliver to the Escrow Agent to fund the Escrow Fund, (y) that portion of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholder in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock that Parent is entitled to withhold pursuant to Section 2.8(c) and deliver to the Representative to fund the Representative Expense Fund, and (z) that portion of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration otherwise payable to such Company Stockholder in respect of Unvested Company Capital Stock that Parent is entitled to withhold pursuant to Section 2.9(d)(ii) (such amount less such deductions, with respect to each such Company Stockholder, being referred to herein as the “Closing Payment”), and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of any portion of the applicable Closing Payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate(s) are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment (A) shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a Person other than the registered holder of the Company Stock Certificate surrendered, and shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid, or (B) shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax is not applicable. From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.8(c), each Company

Stock Certificate formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable Final Adjusted Merger Consideration, if any, in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the manner provided herein.

(ii) Prior to the Closing, each Stock Restriction Agreement shall have been amended in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Stock Restriction Agreement Amendment”) to provide that (A) all Unvested Cash otherwise payable under this Agreement to a Company Stockholder that is a party to such Stock Restriction Agreement shall be withheld by Parent in order to secure Parent’s repurchase rights under the Stock Restriction Agreement applicable to such Company Stockholder’s Unvested Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (and after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs as a result of the consummation of the Merger), (B) upon the vesting of any such Unvested Cash in accordance with the terms of such Stock Restriction Agreement Amendment, any such cash that is required to be deposited into the Escrow Fund to satisfy the escrow contribution obligations of such Company Stockholder under this Agreement shall be deposited into the Escrow Fund (to the extent not previously deposited into the Escrow Fund by Parent at Parent’s election) and any remaining portion of such cash shall be paid to such Company Stockholder, and (C) at the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the rights and obligations of the Company under, and be entitled to enforce the provisions of, such Stock Restriction Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, any Final Adjusted Merger Consideration otherwise payable to a Company Stockholder that is Unvested Cash shall be payable to such Company Stockholder only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Restriction Agreement Amendment to which such Company Stockholder is a party. The payout of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock that constitute Unvested Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (and after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs as a result of the consummation of the Merger) shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements that were applicable to such shares of Unvested Company Capital Stock immediately prior to or at the Effective Time (and after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs as a result of the consummation of the Merger), subject to the terms of the applicable agreement governing such shares and the Stock Restriction Agreement Amendment. Therefore, any Unvested Cash otherwise payable to a Company Stockholder under this Agreement in respect of Unvested Company Capital Stock shall not be paid by Parent or the Paying Agent at the Effective Time, and shall instead be paid by Parent (or Paying Agent) to such Company Stockholder only on the date that the shares of Unvested Company Capital Stock that were converted into such Unvested Cash would have become vested under the vesting schedule in effect in respect of such Unvested Company shares immediately prior to or at the Effective Time (after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that occurs as a result of the consummation of the Merger and subject to the restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule), less the amount of Unvested Cash deposited into the Escrow Fund pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.8(b) and the Representative Expense Fund pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.8(c); provided, however, that Parent may in its discretion make all such required payments to holders of Unvested Cash on the last business day of each calendar month during which vesting occurs for administrative convenience. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(d)(ii) shall be subject to any required Tax withholding obligations and shall be paid without interest. A portion of such newly vested cash so distributed will be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Following the Effective Time, no Unvested Cash, or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Parent, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of such

Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Cash in accordance with this Agreement.

(e) Post-Closing Payment Based on Final Adjusted Merger Consideration.

(i) If the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Adjusted Merger Consideration (such amount, the “Excess Amount”), then as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.8 (and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter), (A) Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay to each former Company Stockholder an amount of cash (without interest) equal to their pro rata portion of the Excess Amount. Such payment is expressly conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a Stockholder Transmittal Letter properly completed and duly executed by such Company Stockholder, and (B) the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise, and the exercise price, of each Assumed Option then outstanding shall be adjusted and recalculated in the manner contemplated by Section 2.7(c)(i) to reflect the Option Exchange Ratio derived from the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration.

(ii) If the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Adjusted Merger Consideration (such difference, the “Shortfall Amount”), as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.8 (and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter), (A) Parent and the Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly release from the Escrow Fund and deliver to Parent an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Shortfall Amount, by (y) the Escrow Participant Share (calculated as of the date of such release). In this event, each Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have contributed a pro rata portion of such payment to Parent from their respective allocated portion of the Escrow Fund, and (B) the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise, and the exercise price, of each Assumed Option then outstanding shall be adjusted and recalculated in the manner contemplated by Section 2.7(c)(i) to reflect the Option Exchange Ratio derived from the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration.

(f) Termination of Closing Payment Fund; No Liability. At any time following the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it all or any portion of the Closing Payment Fund (including any earnings received with respect thereto) that has not been disbursed to holders of Company Capital Stock, and thereafter such holders of Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements), and only as general creditors thereof, with respect to the applicable Final Adjusted Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a certificate formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock for any amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Capital Stock two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of Parent, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from

the payment of any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Agreement, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any other applicable Legal Requirements, unless such Person provides Parent with such documentation as Parent reasonably requests to qualify for an exemption to any such requirement to withhold or an approval or certification from the applicable tax authorities instructing Parent otherwise. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid by the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent to the applicable Tax authorities on behalf of the holders of Company Capital Stock, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificate(s) which formerly represented shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of (a) an affidavit of that fact by the Company Stockholder in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent (a “Lost Stock Affidavit”), Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to pay such Company Stockholder the portion of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration to which such Company Stockholder is entitled to pursuant to Section 2.7(a); provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion (acting in good faith) and as a condition precedent to issuing such instruction to the Paying Agent, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s) or agreements to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the certificate(s) or agreements alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed (the “Lost Certificate Indemnity Agreement”).

2.10 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in the Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Company Capital Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates formerly evidencing ownership of the shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Legal Requirements. After the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall cancel and exchange, as provided in this Section 2.10, any presented certificate representing shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

2.11 Taking of Further Necessary Action. Each of Parent, the Company and the Representative will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the Merger and cause the distribution of proceeds in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as possible. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any such 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 the Company, the officers and directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time are and will remain fully authorized in the name of the Company or otherwise to take, and shall take, upon request by Parent, all such lawful and necessary action.

The Charter and Bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall contain provisions with respect to indemnification and exculpation from liability that are substantially similar to those set forth in the Charter or Bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, respectively, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Company Indemnified Party.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, at its expense and on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, purchase a “tail” prepaid policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage to take effect as of the Effective Time (which policy, for avoidance of doubt, shall be paid prior to the Effective Time and not be an accounts payable of the Company as of the Effective Time).

For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to make any payments in respect of any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Each Company Indemnified Person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 6.10.

(i) (A) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement (other than the Special Indemnification Representations) to be true and correct (x) as of the date hereof or (y) as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made at and as of the Closing Date, or (B) any failure of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Company in any agreement, document, schedule, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by the Company under or pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than with respect to Special Indemnification Representations) to be true and correct at and as of the date of such document, schedule, certificate or other instrument;

(ii) (A) any failure of any Special Indemnification Representation made by the Company in this Agreement to be true and correct (x) as of the date hereof or (y) as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made at and as of the Closing Date or (B) any failure of any Special Representation (or certification in respect thereof) made by the Company in any agreement, document, schedule, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by the Company under or pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to be true and correct at and as of the date of such document, schedule, certificate or other instrument;

(iv) any inaccuracy in the Payment Spreadsheet, and any amounts paid to holders of shares of Company Capital Stock in excess of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement;

(v) all Transaction Expenses, to the extent that such Transaction Expenses exceed the amount of Transaction Expenses set forth in the Statement of Transaction Expenses and included in the calculation of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration;

(vi) any and all Change in Control Payments, to the extent that such Change in Control Payments exceed the amount of Change in Control Payments used to calculate the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration;

(vii) any and all Company Debt, to the extent such Company Debt exceeds the amount of Company Debt used to calculate the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration;

(b) Payment of Indemnification Claims from Escrow Fund. In the event that the Parent Indemnified Parties (or any of them) are entitled to recover funds from the Escrow Fund in respect of any Indemnification Claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a), then the amount paid to any such Parent Indemnified Party will be equal to the amount of the applicable Indemnification Claim, multiplied by the Escrow Participant Share (calculated as of the date of such payment). As a result of such payment, each Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have contributed and paid over to the Parent Indemnified Parties such Indemnifying Party’s pro rata portion of such Indemnification Claim (even though the released funds may be less than the total amount of the Indemnification Claim) and such pro rata portions shall be calculated as follows (it being understood and hereby agreed that if a single Person shall hold both shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, such Person’s pro rata portion of any funds released from the Escrow Fund in respect of such Person’s Company Capital Stock and Company Options shall be determined independently):

(i) for each former holder of Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, such former stockholder’s pro rata portion of any contribution to an Indemnification Claim paid to the Indemnified Parties (or any of them) shall be calculated based on the product obtained by multiplying (x) such former stockholder’s Company Stockholder Pro Rata Percentage, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Company Stockholder Escrow Amount and the denominator of which is Escrow Amount; and

(ii) for each former holder of a Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, such former option holder’s pro rata portion of any contribution to an Indemnification Claim paid to the Indemnified Parties (or any of them) shall be calculated based on the product obtained by multiplying (x) such former option holder’s Company Option Holder Pro Rata Percentage, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Company Option Holder Escrow Amount and the denominator of which is Escrow Amount.

Pursuant to and as a result of the foregoing pro rata allocations, Parent acknowledges and hereby agrees (for and on behalf of all Parent Indemnified Parties) that, in the event the Parent Indemnified

Parties (or any of them) shall be entitled to recover funds from the Escrow Fund in respect of an Indemnification Claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a) prior to the time at which all Assumed Options have been fully exercised, then the Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover the full amount of such Indemnification Claim unless and until all such Assumed Options have been exercised in full.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if the Merger is consummated, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Damages from any Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnification Claims under or pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 8.2(a), in the aggregate, in excess of an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration actually received by such Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the preceding restrictions set forth in this Section 8.2(c)(iii) shall not in any way limit or otherwise restrict any right in respect of any Indemnification Claims under or pursuant to clause (i) and clauses (iii)–(ix) of Section 8.2, inclusive, or any other claims or causes of action under applicable law arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company (or any of its agents) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than Indemnification Claims pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ix), which are addressed by Section 8.2(c)(iv)).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if the Merger is consummated, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Damages from any Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnification Claims under or pursuant to clauses (iii) and (ix) of Section 8.2(a), in the aggregate, in excess of an amount equal to the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration actually received by such Indemnifying Party;

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the preceding restrictions set forth in this Section 8.2(c)(iv) shall not in any way limit or otherwise restrict any right in respect of any Indemnification Claims under or pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) and clauses (iv)–(viii) of Section 8.2, inclusive, or any other claims or causes of action under applicable law arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company (or any of its agents) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than Indemnification Claims pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ix), which are addressed by the first clause of this Section 8.2(c)(iv)).

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Indemnification Claims under or pursuant to clauses (i) of Section 8.2(a) unless and until all Damages directly or indirectly paid, sustained or incurred against by the Parent Indemnified Parties (or any of them) exceeds One Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Damage Threshold”) in the aggregate, and if the aggregate of all Damages directly or indirectly paid, sustained or incurred against by the Parent Indemnified Parties (or any of them) exceeds the Damage Threshold, then the Parent Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification for all such Damages in excess of the Damage Threshold; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding restriction set forth in this Section 8.2(c)(v) shall not in any way limit or otherwise restrict any right in respect of Indemnification Claims pursuant to clauses (ii)–(ix) of Section 8.2(a), inclusive, or any other claims or causes of action under applicable law arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company (or any of its agents) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than Indemnification Claims pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ix), which are addressed by Section 8.2(c)(iv)).

(vi) In the event that any Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to receive indemnification under this Article 8 from the Indemnifying Parties, then each Indemnifying Party shall be responsible and liable only for its pro rata portion of the amount of such indemnification obligation, calculated based on the amount of Final Adjusted Merger Consideration received by each such Indemnifying Party relative to the total Final Adjusted Merger Consideration received by all Indemnifying Parties.

(d) Indemnification Claims.

(i) If a Parent Indemnified Party is of the opinion that it has or may acquire a right to indemnification under this ARTICLE 8 (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), such Parent Indemnified Party shall so notify the Representative in a written notice, signed by such Parent Indemnified Party, or any officer thereof (each, an “Officer’s Certificate”): (i) stating that such Parent Indemnified Party has directly or indirectly paid, sustained or incurred any Damages, or reasonably anticipates that it will directly or indirectly pay, sustain or incur any Damages, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Damages included in the amount so stated (and the method of computation of each such item of Damages, if applicable), the date each such item of Damages was paid, sustained or incurred, or the basis for such reasonably anticipated Damages, (iii) a brief description in reasonable detail (to the extent available to such Parent Indemnified Party) of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to each item of Damages based on such Parent Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof, including the identity and address of any third-party claimant and copies of any formal demand or complaint relating thereto, and (iv) the basis for indemnification under Section 8.2 to which such item of Damages is related (including, if applicable, the specific nature of the misrepresentation, or the breach of warranty or covenant).

(ii) If the Representative shall not object in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(d)(iv) to any individual items of Damages set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(d)(i) within thirty (30) calendar days after the Representative’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, the Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged and irrevocably consented, for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, (i) to the Parent Indemnified Party recovery of the full amount of all such items of Damages set forth in such Officer’s Certificate solely to the extent that such Damages do not exceed the Escrow Amount at such time and subject to the limitations set forth herein, and (ii) if and to the extent necessary, and without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Indemnifying Parties for such items of Damages in any court having competent jurisdiction over the matter. Upon receipt of any Officer’s Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall not release any portion of the Escrow Amount to Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party or Parties pursuant to this Agreement unless and until (i) the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Representative to release any portion of the Escrow Amount, or (ii) the Representative shall have failed to object in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(d)(iv) to any individual items of Damages set forth in such Officer’s Certificate within thirty (30) calendar days after the Representative’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate.

(iii) In the event that the Escrow Agent shall receive written authorization from the Representative to release to Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party or Parties any portion of the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 8.2(d)(i), the Escrow Agent shall release such portion of the Escrow Amount in accordance with such written instructions. In the event that the Representative shall have failed to object in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(d)(iv) to any individual items of Damages set forth in an Officer’s Certificate relating to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 within thirty (30) calendar days after the Representative’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release to Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party or Parties (as instructed by Parent in writing) from the Escrow Fund an amount of cash equal to the amount of all such items of Damages specified in such Officer’s Certificate with respect to which the Representative has not objected in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(d)(iv). Any cash released to Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party or Parties pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to reduce each Indemnifying Party’s interest in the Escrow Fund in accordance with his, her or its pro rata portion of the Escrow Fund.

(iv) In the event that the Representative shall seek to contest any individual items of Damages set forth in an Officer’s Certificate received from Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(d)(i), the Representative shall notify Parent in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, of the Representative’s objection, which notice shall set forth a brief description in reasonable detail of the Representative’s basis for objecting to each item of Damages based on the Representative’s good faith belief thereof. Upon Parent’s receipt of a written notice of objection from the Representative pursuant to the preceding sentence, Parent and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to the disputed items of Damages. If the Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth the agreement reached by the parties with respect to such disputed items of Damages shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the instructions set forth in any such memorandum.

(v) If within sixty (60) days after the Representative’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, and after good faith negotiations, the parties are unable to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to any disputed items of Damages set forth in an Officer’s

Certificate, either Parent or the Representative may bring suit in the courts identified in Section 10.9 to resolve the matter. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and the Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrow Amount in accordance therewith. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(e) Company Stockholders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Charter or Bylaws of the Company, or in any agreement between the Company and any Stockholder to the contrary entered into prior to the Closing, in no event shall the Surviving Corporation, as the successor in interest to the Company by virtue of the Merger, or Parent, be obligated to reimburse, contribute, indemnify or hold harmless any Company Stockholder in its capacity as a Company Stockholder for or in connection with any Damages or obligations of the Company under this ARTICLE 8.

(f) Third Party Actions. In the event any Action is instituted against a Parent Indemnified Party which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve an Indemnification Claim hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), Parent will, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Action, notify the Representative (and, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of the commencement thereof. The failure to so notify the Representative (and, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of the commencement of any such Action will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability in connection therewith only if and to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Parties to defend their interests in such Action. Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to control the defense or settlement of such Action; provided, however, that the Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) and its counsel (at such party’s sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Action; and provided further that, except with the consent of the Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no settlement of any such Action with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Damages relating to such matter. In the event that the Representative has consented to any such settlement, the Indemnifying Parties shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this ARTICLE 8 to the amount of any such Indemnification Claim against the Escrow Fund, or against the Indemnifying Parties directly, as the case may be, with respect to such settlement.

(g) Definition of Damages. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Damages” shall mean the amount of (i) any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or other damage (including lost profits and diminution in value), loss, liability, claim, deficiency, Tax, judgment, fine, penalty, cost or other expense (including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) directly or indirectly paid, sustained or incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties (or any of them), (ii) any and all reasonable fees and costs of enforcing the Parent Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, and (iii) any and all reasonable fees and costs defending any Third Party Actions. For purposes of determining the amount of any Damage suffered or incurred by a Parent Indemnified Party, any qualifications in the representations, warranties and covenants with respect to a Company Material Adverse Effect, materiality, material or similar terms shall be disregarded and will not have any effect with respect to the calculation of the amount of any Damages attributable to a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of

the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any of the ancillary agreements, exhibits, schedules or certificates to, or delivered in connection with this Agreement.

(h) Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Indemnifying Parties, the Representative and Parent agree to treat (and cause their affiliates to treat) any payments received pursuant to Section 8.2 as adjustments to the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

(i) Effect of Investigation; Reliance. The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or any other remedy hereunder will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Parent Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Parent Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. Parent and the Company each acknowledge that such Damages, if any, would relate to unresolved contingencies existing at the Effective Time, which if resolved at the Effective Time would have led to a reduction in the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration that Parent would have paid in connection with the Merger.

8.3 Exclusive Remedy. Except any claims or causes of actions under applicable law arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company (or any of its agents) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than Indemnification Claims pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ix), which are addressed by Section 8.2(c)(iv)), if the Merger is consummated, the indemnification remedies set forth in this ARTICLE 8 shall be the exclusive remedy of any Parent Indemnified Party for any breach by the Company of this Agreement or any agreement, document, schedule, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by the Company under or pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.4 Representative. Each of the Company Stockholders and Indemnifying Parties, by approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, hereby appoints the Representative as his, her or its true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement on their behalf and exercise all or any of the powers, authority and discretion conferred on him or her under this Agreement.

(a) Powers of the Representative.

(i) The Representative shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred upon him or her pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, which shall include:

(A) The power and authority to negotiate and resolve the determination of the Actual Closing Net Working Capital and Final Adjusted Merger Consideration pursuant to and in the manner contemplated by Section 2.8;

(B) The power to execute any agreement or instrument in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties;

(C) The power to give or receive any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, to be given or received by any Indemnifying Party, and each of them (other than notice for service of process relating to any Action before a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, which notice must be given to each Indemnifying Party individually, as applicable), and to take any and all action for and on behalf of Indemnifying Parties, and each of them, under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other such agreement, document or instrument;

(D) The power (subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(c)) to contest, negotiate, defend, compromise or settle any Indemnification Claims or Actions for which a Parent Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification through counsel selected by the Representative and solely at the cost, risk and expense of the Indemnifying Parties, authorize payment to any Parent Indemnified Party of any of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of any Indemnification Claims, agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such Indemnification Claims, resolve any Indemnification Claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Indemnifying Party or necessary in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

(E) The power to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Parties;

(F) The power to review, negotiate and agree to and authorize any payments from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any payment obligation, in each case, on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, as contemplated thereunder;

(G) The power to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Indemnifying Parties (other than the payment of the Final Adjusted Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein); and

(H) The power to take any actions in regard to such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Escrow Agreement or as the Representative reasonably believes are in the best interests of the Indemnifying Parties;

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the powers conferred above shall not authorize or empower the Representative to do or cause to be done any of the foregoing (i) in a manner that improperly discriminates between or among the Indemnifying Parties; or (ii) as to any matter insofar as such matter relates solely and exclusively to a single Indemnifying Party, whereupon the Representative may appoint the Indemnifying Party who is alleged to be in breach to handle all matters related to such indemnification claim on behalf

of the Representative, and all references to the Representative in such event shall include also such Indemnifying Party. Without implying that other actions would constitute an improper discrimination, each of the Indemnifying Parties agrees that discrimination between or among Indemnifying Parties solely on the basis of the respective number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by each Company Stockholder shall not be deemed to be improper. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Representative shall not be entitled to, and shall not, take any action that would or could (i) cause any Indemnifying Party’s liability hereunder to exceed its portion of the Escrow Amount, (ii) result in the amounts payable hereunder to any Indemnifying Party being distributed in any manner other than as set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, or (iii) result in an increase of any Indemnifying Party’s indemnity or other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change to the nature of the indemnity obligations), without (in each case) such Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(b) Representations of Representative. The Representative hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

(i) The Representative has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to carry out his, her or its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Representative, enforceable against the Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles.

(iii) The Escrow Agreement will be duly executed and delivered by the Representative and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement by Parent and the Escrow Agent, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Representative, enforceable against the Representative in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and to general equity principles.

(i) Upon receipt or notice of any Indemnification Claim, the Representative shall give prompt notice of the amount and details thereof (to the extent of the information in his or her possession) to the Indemnifying Parties. As soon as possible thereafter, the Representative shall notify the Indemnifying Parties of the proposed action which the Representative recommends shall be taken in response to such Indemnification Claim.

(ii) The Representative shall have the discretion to take such action as he or she shall determine to be in the best interest of all of the Indemnifying Parties, including authorizing the distribution to any Parent Indemnified Party of any portion of the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that, in any event, all Indemnifying Parties are treated in substantially the same manner.

(d) Notices. Any notice given to the Representative will constitute notice to each and all of the Indemnifying Parties at the time notice is given to the Representative. Any

action taken by, or notice or instruction received from, the Representative will be deemed to be action by, or notice or instruction from, each and all of the Indemnifying Parties. Except as otherwise contained herein, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation may, and the Escrow Agent will, disregard any notice or instruction received from any one or more individual Indemnifying Parties.

(e) Agreement of the Representative. The Representative hereby agrees to do such acts, and execute further documents, as shall be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(f) Reimbursement and Liability of Representative.

(i) At the Closing, the Representative Expense Amount shall be deducted from the amounts due to each holder of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.8(c) and transferred to the Representative to be held in an account separate from that in which any other funds are held, as an expense fund to cover such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in the performance of his or her duties hereunder. Any remaining funds not used by the Representative shall be paid to the Company Stockholders contributing to such fund, on a pro rata basis, upon conclusion of the Representative’s duties hereunder. However, in any event (and particularly in the event that the Representative Expense Fund is not sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in the performance of his or her duties hereunder), each Indemnifying Party agrees that such Indemnifying Party’s pro rata share of such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are not covered by the Representative Expense Fund may be deducted by the Representative from amounts distributed to the Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, from the Escrow Fund prior to delivery of such Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Parties.

(ii) The Representative shall not be personally liable as the Representative to any Indemnifying Party for any act done or omitted hereunder as Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Indemnifying Parties shall severally (but not jointly) indemnify the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any Damages incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder.

8.5 Reliance on Representative. Parent and its respective affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as Representative and treat such Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Indemnifying Party and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. None of Parent or its respective affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) or the Escrow Agent shall be liable to any Indemnifying Party for any actions taken or omitted by them in reliance upon any instructions, notice or other instruments delivered by the Representative. No resignation of the Representative shall become effective unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the replacement or resignation of such Representative shall be provided to Parent and the Escrow Agent. Parent and its respective affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely at any time after receipt of any such notice on the most recent notice so received. The Indemnifying Parties holding a majority interest in the Escrow Fund held in escrow at such time may remove the Representative by a written instrument delivered to the Representative, Parent and the Company, and, in such event and also if the Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, his, her or its

successor who shall serve and exercise the powers of the Representative hereunder shall be appointed by a written instrument signed by Indemnifying Parties holding a majority interest in the Escrow Fund held in escrow at such time and delivered to Parent and the Escrow Agent.

ARTICLE 9

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

9.1 Termination. Except as provided in Section 9.2, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned as follows:

(a) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent, at any time prior to the Closing;

(b) by either Parent or the Company, at any time prior to the Closing, if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by November 9, 2009 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that if any of the conditions specified in Section 7.1(b) shall not have been satisfied on or prior to such date, either Parent or the Company may elect, by written notice to the other party at least one (1) calendar day prior to such date, to extend the Outside Date to May 7, 2010; provided further, however that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

(c) by either Parent or the Company, at any time prior to the Closing, if (i) any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law, statute, rule, regulation, executive order or decree (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is in effect and which has the effect of making the Merger or any other material transaction contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibits or otherwise restrains the consummation of the Merger or any other material transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued or granted a temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, or other similar legal restraint, in any such case that has the effect of making the Merger or any other material transaction contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibits or otherwise restrains the consummation of the Merger or any other material transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, injunction or restraint shall have become final and nonappealable;

(d) by Parent, at any time prior to the Closing, if any Governmental Authority shall have taken any action, or enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced, entered or deemed applicable to the Merger any law, statute, rule, regulation, executive order or decree (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that has the effect of (i) prohibiting Parent’s ownership or operation of any portion of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) compelling Parent or the Company to dispose of or hold separate all or any portion of the business or assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in either case in connection with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement;

(e) by Parent, on or prior to the Closing Date, if (x) there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in this Agreement such that, if not cured on or prior to the Closing Date, the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured in all material respects within twenty-five (25) calendar days after written notice thereof to the Company; provided,

however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured, or (y) if a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred;

(f) by the Company, on or prior to the Closing Date, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement such that, if not cured on or prior to the Closing Date, the conditions set forth in Sections 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured in all material respects within twenty-five (25) calendar days after written notice thereof to Parent; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured; or

(g) by Parent, if Stockholder Written Consents representing the Requisite Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained by the Company and delivered to Parent within one (1) hour immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or their respective officers, directors or stockholders; provided, however, that notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, following any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any party hereto shall remain liable thereafter for any claims or causes of action under applicable law arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such party (or any of its agents) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that occurred prior to such termination; and provided further, that, the provisions of Section 6.7 (Public Announcements), Section 6.9 (Fees and Expenses), this Section 9.2 and ARTICLE 10 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this ARTICLE 9.

9.3 Amendments; No Waiver. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided however, that, for purposes of this Section 9.3, the Company Stockholders agree that any amendment or waiver of the Agreement signed by the Representative shall be binding upon and effective against each of the Company Stockholders whether or not they have signed such amendment or waiver. No course of dealing and no failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such party’s rights, powers and remedies. The failure of any of the parties to this Agreement to require the performance of a term or obligation under this Agreement or the waiver by any of the parties to this Agreement of any breach hereunder shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
