Each director of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall submit his or her resignation at the Closing to be effective at the Effective Time.

1.6 Conversion of Common Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or holders of the following securities:

(i) Subject to adjustment for fractional shares as provided in Section 1.6(a)(ii), each share of Company common stock, $0.000001 par value per share (the “Company Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (A) Dissenting Shares (as defined herein), (B) Cancelled Shares (as defined herein), (C) shares held by any Company Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.4(a)) (“Subsidiary Held Shares”) and (D) outstanding shares issued under Company Non-accelerated Restricted Stock Awards, shall be automatically converted into and become the right to receive: (a) a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent common stock, $.0001 par value per share (“Parent Common Stock”), equal to the greater of the Exchange Ratio (as defined herein) and the Minimum Exchange Ratio (as defined herein); and (b) one contingent value right (a “Contingent Value Right”) to be issued by Parent pursuant to the Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto. “Exchange Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum of (x) the Annualized Company Revenue Shares (as defined herein) plus (y) the greater of (1) the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and (2) ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND (1,500,000) by (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any outstanding shares issued under Company Restricted Stock Awards (as defined herein) and excluding Cancelled Shares and Subsidiary Held Shares). “Minimum Exchange Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (X) TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND (10,500,000) by (Y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any outstanding shares issued under Company Restricted Stock Awards and excluding Cancelled Shares and Subsidiary Held Shares). The (1) shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(i), as adjusted for fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(ii); (2) shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iv), as adjusted for fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(ii); (3) shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i) and (4) any additional shares of Parent Common Stock issued in connection with the Contingent Value Rights, are referred to collectively as the “Merger Consideration.” The Merger Consideration shall not exceed twenty million (20,000,000) shares of Parent Common Stock.

(ii) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Agreement. In lieu of fractional shares, each stockholder who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock hereunder (after aggregating all fractional shares to be received by such stockholder), shall receive an amount equal to the Parent Common Stock Price (as defined herein) multiplied by the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. “Parent Common Stock Price” means the average of the last reported sale prices of the Parent Common Stock for the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day prior to the Effective Time on the primary exchange on which the Parent Common Stock is traded.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time there is a change in the number or class of issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock as the result of reclassification, subdivision, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such event.

(iv) Subject to adjustment for fractional shares as provided in Section 1.6(a)(ii), each share of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Series A Preferred Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically converted into and become the right to receive: (a) a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio (as defined herein). "Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio" means the quotient obtained by dividing SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND (600,000) by the number of shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, or that is held in treasury by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange for such cancellation.

(c) Each issued and outstanding share of the capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) “Annualized Company Revenue Shares” means a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (A) two (2) multiplied by (B) the amount of the Annualized Company Revenue.

(e) “Annualized Company Revenue” means an amount equal to four multiplied by the Quarterly ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (as defined herein). For purposes of this Agreement, “Quarterly ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇” means an amount equal to (A) the product of (x) 0.92 and (y) the Company’s consolidated recognized revenue for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2008 (such period, the “Prior Full Period”), as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a basis consistent with the Company’s financial statements, plus (B) the product of (i) three (3) multiplied by (ii) the aggregate of the per month recurring fees and charges (whether billed or unbilled) payable to the Company for all Eligible Contracts (as defined below) to which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a party (whether entered into before, during or after the Prior Full Period) for the initial month of each such contract during which a monthly fee is charged, but in the case of this clause (B) only to the extent such amounts have not been included in the amount calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A) less (C) (i) to the extent included in the immediately preceding clause (A), any non-recurring fees from a single customer that exceed in the aggregate for such customer $212,000; and (ii) to the extent included in the immediately preceding clause (A), revenues from customers who have terminated contracts or agreements (whether terminated before, during or after the Prior Full Period) on or prior to the Effective Time. “Eligible Contracts” means those contracts for which (i) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has received payment in full of “set-up” fees payable to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company thereunder; and (ii) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has verified the credit history of the other party to the contract by performing a credit check consistent with the Company’s past practices.

(f) As of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations of the Company under the warrant agreements set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule in respect of the Company Warrants (as defined herein). The holders of the Company Warrants shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in such Company Warrants (including, without limitation, any provision contained therein relating to the repurchase or redemption thereof), except that each such Company Warrant shall (A) (1) in the case of a Company Warrant that is not a Company 2007 Warrant (as defined herein), be exercisable for (i) that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by the Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the greater of the Exchange Ratio and the Minimum Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such assumed Company Warrant shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock specified in such Company Warrant in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by the greater of the Exchange Ratio and the Minimum Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting exercise price down the nearest whole cent; and (2) in the case of a Company 2007 Warrant, be exercisable for that number of shares of Parent Common Stock, and at a per share exercise price, as set forth in the terms of the Company 2007 Warrants; and (B) in the case of all Company Warrants, upon such exercise described in the immediately preceding clause (A), without any further payment required on the part of the holders, receive such number of Contingent Value Rights that such holders would have been entitled to receive upon conversion of the resulting shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger if such Company Warrants had been exercised by such holders immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall require Parent to issue fractional shares of Parent Common Stock upon the exercise of any Company Warrant. At the Effective Time, Parent shall reserve for issuance the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will become issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrants pursuant to this Section 1.6(f) assuming the full exercise of all Company Warrants. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the event a holder exercises a Company Warrant (other than a Company ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) prior to the time of a final determination pursuant to Section 1.13 that the Exchange Ratio is greater than the Minimum Exchange Ratio, then as soon as practicable following such determination Parent shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which the Company Warrants so exercised shall have been converted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement applying the Exchange Ratio (as opposed to the Minimum Exchange Ratio) under this Section 1.6(f) less any shares of Parent Common Stock issued and delivered to such holder respect of such prior exercise. Holders of Company Warrants who exercise such warrants subsequent to the Final Exercise Date (as defined in the CVR Agreement) shall not be entitled to Contingent Value Rights. For purposes of this Agreement, "Company 2007 Warrants" means those Company Warrants issued pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2007, as amended, by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are held by a person (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who has not voted in favor of or consented to the adoption of this Agreement and has complied with all the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL concerning the right of holders of shares of Company Common Stock to require appraisal of their Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, and the holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if such Dissenting Stockholder withdraws its demand for appraisal or fails to perfect or otherwise loses its right of appraisal, in any case pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, its shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect thereto.

1.7 Company Options, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) For a period of at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide each holder of an option (“Company Option”) granted by the Company under the Narrowstep Inc. 2004 Stock Plan (the “Company Stock Plan”) or otherwise with the opportunity to exercise each such Company Option, regardless of whether such Company Option is otherwise vested or exercisable. To the extent that any such Company Option is not exercised prior to the Effective Time, such Company Option shall be canceled and be of no further force and effect. If any Company Options are exercised prior to the Effective Time, any shares of Company Stock issued as a result thereof will be included in the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding per Section 1.6(a)(i).

(b) At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Company Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is then the subject of a restricted stock award (excluding any Company Accelerated Restricted Stock (as defined herein)) granted under the Company Stock Plan or otherwise (such awards, "Company Non-accelerated Restricted Stock Awards") shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into (i) a number of shares of restricted Parent Common Stock (“Parent Restricted Stock”) equal to the greater of the Exchange Ratio and the Minimum Exchange Ratio on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting rights) as applicable to such Company Non-accelerated Restricted Stock Awards set forth in the Company Stock Plan and the award agreements pursuant to which such Company Non-accelerated Restricted Stock Awards were issued as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(ii); and (iii) one (1) Contingent Value Right that is unvested but subject to future vesting in accordance with the same vesting schedule and other requirements (and cancellation conditions) applicable to such Company Non-accelerated Restricted Stock Award; provided, however, that until such time as a final determination of the Exchange Ratio is made pursuant to Section 1.13, the Parent Restricted Stock issuable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be issued in such amount as if the Minimum Exchange Ratio was used in calculating the conversion of each Company Non-accelerated Restricted Stock Award pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that it is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.13 that the Exchange Ratio is greater than the Minimum Exchange Ratio, each share of Parent Restricted Stock issued or to be issued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, shall, as of the date such final determination, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into such number of shares of Parent Restricted Stock as if the Exchange Ratio was applicable at the Effective Time, on the same terms and conditions of such Parent Restricted Stock issued pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.7(b). Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 as of or prior to the Effective Time with respect to shares of Parent Restricted Stock and shall use commercially reasonable 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 shares of Parent Restricted Stock remain unvested.

(c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Agreement that is (i) subject to a restricted stock award; (ii) subject to a written agreement or provision that provides for the acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in control of the Company that results in a termination of employment; and (iii) held by a person who has been terminated from service by the Company on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time ("Company Accelerated Restricted Stock") shall become fully vested without any further action required on the part of the holder thereof or the Company. The shares of Company Accelerated Restricted Stock that vest pursuant to this Section 1.7(c) shall be treated as outstanding shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit that is then the subject of a restricted stock unit award evidencing the right to receive shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Company Stock Plan or otherwise (each a “Company RSU”) shall become fully vested and the Company shall issue the holder thereof a share of Company Common Stock for each such Company RSU, whereupon the respective Company RSU shall thereupon be canceled and of be of no further force and effect. The shares of Company Common Stock issued in respect of Company RSUs will be treated as outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall issue the holder of each Company RSU that had previously vested, but with respect to which the delivery of shares of Company Common Stock was delayed or deferred for any reason, a share of Company Common Stock for each such Company RSU, whereupon the respective Company RSU shall thereupon be canceled and be of no further force and effect. The shares of Company Common Stock issued in respect of Company RSUs will be treated as outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Each share of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 1.7(a), (c), (d) or (e) above shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each such share of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.6(a).

1.8 Exchange of Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall authorize a bank or trust company to act as exchange agent hereunder, which bank or trust company shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail, to all former holders of record of (i) an outstanding certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock that were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement (the “Certificates”) or (ii) shares represented by book-entry which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement (“Book-Entry Shares”), (A) instructions for surrendering their Certificates, or in the case of Book-Entry Shares, for surrendering such shares, in exchange for a certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares and, in the case of former holders of record of Company Common Stock, a certificate representing a Contingent Value Right, and (B) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss of, and title to, the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, or in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. Upon surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with Letter of Transmittal and such other customary documents reasonably requested by Parent and in accordance with the instructions thereon, each holder of such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (a) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock theretofore represented by the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement applying the Minimum Exchange Ratio under Section 1.6(a)(i) and with respect to Company Series A Preferred Stock the Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio, (b) any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(ii) hereof, (c) a certificate representing that number of Contingent Value Rights, if any, to which such holder is entitled under this Agreement, (d) a check in the amount of any cash due pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, and (e) in the case of Company Common Stock only the right to receive a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement applying the Exchange Ratio (as opposed to the Minimum Exchange Ratio) under Section 1.6(a)(i) less any shares of Parent Common Stock issued and delivered to former holders of Company Common Stock in accordance with clause (a) of this sentence, but in the case of this clause (e) only to the extent that it is determined pursuant to Section 1.13 that the Exchange Ratio is greater than the Minimum Exchange Ratio. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any such amounts. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.8, each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive Merger Consideration together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(ii) hereof and, if applicable, amounts under Section 1.12 hereof. Shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Common Stock and shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted in the Merger at the Effective Time shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time. If any certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall deliver to the Exchange Agent all documents necessary to evidence and effect such transfer and shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Beginning on the date which is twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, Parent shall act as the Exchange Agent and thereafter any holder of an unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall look solely to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for any amounts to which such holder may be due, subject to applicable law. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of the shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock for the Merger Consideration.

1.9 No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Parent Company Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash payments delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable escheat, abandoned property or similar law.

1.10 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, applicable certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(ii) and, if applicable, certificates representing Contingent Value Rights and any amounts due pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

1.11 Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock or the Company Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.12 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividend or other distribution declared with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to holders of unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares until such holders surrender such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for exchange as provided for herein. Upon the surrender of such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 1.8, there shall be paid to such holders, promptly after such surrender in addition to the applicable Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.6 (including any cash paid or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(ii)), (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions, without interest, declared with a record date after the Effective Time and not paid because of the failure to surrender such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for exchange, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, without interest, declared with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

1.13 Additional Shares.

(a) Not later than five business days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative, a certificate setting forth the calculation of the Exchange Ratio (“Parent’s Report”).

(b) If within thirty (30) days upon delivery of Parent’s Report, Stockholder Representative has not given written notice of its objection to such report (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis of Stockholder Representative’s response or objection), then such Parent’s Report shall be binding. If Stockholder Representative gives Parent a written objection and if the parties fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to such report within a period of thirty (30) days after notification of rejection, the parties shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to an independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”) acceptable to the parties for resolution. The parties agree to execute such engagement or similar letter as reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, the parties shall or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information related to those disputed issues as the Independent Accountant may request and are available to that party or its representatives before the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any material related to the disputed issues and discuss the issues with the Independent Accountant. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to make a determination within thirty days of accepting its selection.

(c) The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive resolution of the parties’ dispute, shall be non-appealable and shall not be subject to further review.

(d) Parent will bear one hundred percent (100%) of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountant for such determination; provided, however, that in the event that the Independent Accountant determines pursuant to Section 1.13(b) that Parent’s Report, as submitted pursuant to Section 1.13(a), is correct, then the fees and costs of the Independent Accountant (the “Accountant Fees”) shall be paid by Parent to the Independent Accountant and to the extent so paid shall be set off against the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.13(g), on a pro rata basis and if no additional shares are issued, pursuant to Section 1.13(g), Parent shall be able to offset such amount against any CVR Shares (as defined in the CVR Agreement) that may be issued pursuant to the CVR Agreement, in each case in accordance with the following sentences. The aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.13(g) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Accountant’s Fees by the average of the last reported sales prices of Parent Common Stock on the primary exchange where it is traded for the last fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date on which the right to set off arises pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. To the extent the quotient calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is less than the amount of the Accountant’s Fees payable by the former stockholders of the Company (such deficient amount, the "Accountant’s Fees Deficiency”), the number of CVR Shares issuable pursuant to the CVR Agreement share be reduced in the aggregate by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Accountant’s Fees Deficiency by the average of the last reported sales prices of Parent Common Stock on the primary exchange where it is traded for the last fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date on which the CVR Year One Exchange Ratio and the CVR Year Two Exchange Ratio, as applicable, are finally determined.

(e) Upon delivery of Parent’s Report, Parent will provide the Stockholder Representative and its accountants and advisors access to (i) Parent’s Chief Financial Officer for questions, and (ii) the books and records of the Surviving Corporation (including any work papers used to prepare Parent’s Report) and such other information requested by such persons, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary related to the Stockholder Representative’s evaluation of a Parent’s Report and the calculations thereof.

(f) As promptly as practicable after Parent’s Report becomes final pursuant to this Section 1.13, Parent shall cause to be mailed a notice to each former holder of record of Company Common Stock who surrenders Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 1.8 specifying the amount of the Exchange Ratio and the number of any additional shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, issuable to such holders pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) In the event that the Exchange Ratio is greater than the Minimum Exchange Ratio, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.13, then Parent and Exchange Agent shall cause to be issued and delivered, within thirty days of such final determination, to each former holder of record of Company Common Stock that surrenders Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 1.8, (i) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares surrendered pursuant to Section 1.8 shall have been converted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement applying the Exchange Ratio (as opposed to the Minimum Exchange Ratio) under Section 1.6(a)(i) less any shares of Parent Common Stock issued and delivered to such holder in accordance with clause (a) of the third sentence of Section 1.8 hereof; (ii) any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(ii) hereof; and (iii) a check in the amount of any cash due pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof.

1.14 Appointment of Stockholder Representative.

(a) The (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the former holders of record of Company Common Stock, and (ii) any exercise of the Company Warrants by the holders thereof (such holders, together with the former stockholders of record of the Company, the “Former Company Stockholders”), shall constitute by each such person, respectively, the authorization, designation and appointment of the Stockholder Representative, in each case to act as the sole and exclusive agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of each of the Former Company Stockholders by the consent of the Former Company Stockholders and as such is hereby authorized and directed to (a) take any and all actions (including without limitation executing and delivering any documents, incurring any costs and expenses for the account of the Former Company Stockholders and making any and all determinations required by this Agreement) which may be required in carrying out his duties under this Agreement, (b) give notices and communications on behalf of the stockholder as set forth in this Agreement, (c) exercise such other rights, power and authority as are authorized, delegated and granted to the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement and hereby, and (d) exercise such rights, power and authority as are incidental to the foregoing, and any decision or determination made by the Stockholder Representative consistent therewith shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding on each Former Company Stockholder as if such stockholder personally had taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in such Former Company Stockholder’s individual capacity.

(b) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable, in any manner or to any extent, for any mistake or fact or error of judgment or for any acts or omissions by it of any kind, except to the extent that such action or inaction shall have been held by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Former Company Stockholders shall jointly and severally indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold it harmless against any and all liabilities incurred by it, except for liabilities incurred by the Stockholder Representative resulting from its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, provided, however, that any indemnification obligations of the Former Company Stockholders shall be satisfied solely out of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.13 of this Agreement and the CVR Shares issuable under the CVR Agreement, in each case only to the extent such shares of Parent Common Stock and CVR Shares were not issued prior to the time such indemnification obligation arises. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock and CVR Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the amount of the indemnification obligation referenced in the immediately preceding sentence by the average of the last reported sales prices of Parent Common Stock on the primary exchange where it is traded for the last fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.13 hereof, and, in the case of CVR Shares, the date of issuance of such shares pursuant to the CVR Agreement.

(c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative shall constitute a decision of all Former Company Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Holder, and Parent may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Former Company Stockholder.

Except (i) as set forth on Schedule C hereto delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub on the date hereof (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), the section numbers of which are numbered to correspond to the section numbers of this Agreement to which they refer, it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall also be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section of this Agreement to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent, or (ii) as a result of any actions taken or not taken by the Company or any Company Subsidiary (as defined herein) in accordance with or pursuant to the Plan (as defined herein), the Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Parent and Merger Sub:

2.1 Organization and Qualification.

(a) Each of the Company and each Company Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.4(a)) is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where any such failure to have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein). Each of the Company and each Company Subsidiary is qualified or otherwise authorized to transact business as a foreign corporation or other organization in all jurisdictions in which such qualification or authorization is required by law, except for jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or authorized would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any fact, circumstance, event, change, effect or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate with all other facts, circumstances, events, changes, effects, or occurrences, has or would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on or with respect to the business, results of operation or financial condition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole, provided, however, that a Company Material Adverse Effect shall not include facts, circumstances, events, changes, effects or occurrences (i) generally affecting the economy or the financial, debt, credit or securities markets in the United States, including as a result of changes in geopolitical conditions, (ii) generally affecting any of the industries in which the Company or the Company Subsidiaries operate, (iii) resulting from the announcement of this Agreement, (iv) resulting from changes in any applicable laws or regulations or applicable accounting regulations or principles or interpretations thereof, (v) resulting from any actions taken pursuant to or in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Plan (as defined herein) (including without limitation, Section 4.1(c)) or at the request of, or with the approval by, Parent (collectively, “Permitted Actions”), (vi) resulting from any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or war or any act of terrorism, (vii) resulting from any failure by the Company to meet its internal or published projections, budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations, in and of itself (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a “Company Material Adverse Effect” may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect), or (viii) resulting from a decline in the price of the Company Common Stock on the Bulletin Board Market (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such decline that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a “Company Material Adverse Effect” may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect).

(b) The Company has previously provided or made available to Parent true, correct and complete copies of the charter and bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company and each Company Subsidiary as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and none of Company or any Company Subsidiary is in violation of any provisions of such documents, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

2.16 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Section 2.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a correct and complete list identifying each “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA (whether or not subject to ERISA), each employment, consultancy, non-compete, severance, termination, change of control, or similar agreement, contract, plan, arrangement or policy and each other contract, plan, arrangement or policy providing for compensation, bonuses, profit-sharing, stock purchase, stock option or other stock-related rights or other forms of incentive or deferred compensation, fringe benefits, vacation benefits, insurance (including any self-insured arrangements), health or medical benefits, employee assistance program, disability or sick leave benefits, workers’ compensation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits and post-employment or retirement benefits (including compensation, pension, health, medical or life insurance benefits and any summary plan descriptions) which covers any current employee or former employee, director or consultant of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or its ERISA Affiliates or any of their dependents, with respect to which the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates has any material liability, whether current or contingent (individually, a “Company Employee Plan” and collectively, the “Company Employee Plans”). A copy of each such Company Employee Plan (and, if applicable, related trust or funding agreements or insurance policies) and all amendments thereto or a description of each Company Employee Plan that is unwritten, has been made available to Parent together with the most recent annual report (Form 5500 including, where applicable, all schedules and actuarial and accountants’ reports) and Tax Return (Form 990) prepared in connection with any such plan or trust.

(b) Section 2.16(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a list of all severance payments payable by the Company in connection with the termination of any current employee or consultant of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, including any amounts, to the Company's knowledge, arising under statutory obligations and any applicable notice periods.

(d) No Company Employee Plan is a multiemployer plan, as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multiemployer Plan”), or a multiple employer welfare arrangement as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA (a “MEWA”) or a multiple employer plan as defined in Section 413(c) of the Code. Neither the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has (i) ever been obligated to contribute to a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA); or (ii) to the knowledge of the Company, ever maintained a Company Employee Plan which was ever subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States.

(e) Except as has not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, each Company Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Company Qualified Plan”) is so qualified and the plan as currently in effect has received a favorable determination or opinion letter to that effect from the Internal Revenue Service, no such determination or opinion letter has been revoked and revocation has not been threatened, and to the Company’s knowledge, there is no reason why any such determination or opinion letter should be revoked or not be reissued. The Company has made available to Parent copies of the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination or opinion letters with respect to each such Company Qualified Plan. Each Company Employee Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including ERISA and the Code, which are applicable to such Company Employee Plan with such exceptions as would not have or be reasonably expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each Company Employee Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(l) of the Code and any award thereunder, in each case that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, has been operated in good faith compliance in all material respects with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations, guidance and notices issued thereunder. The Company has complied in all material respects with the reporting and wage withholding requirements under Section 409A of the Code and applicable IRS guidance. No events have occurred with respect to any Company Employee Plan that could result in payment or assessment by or against the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates of any excise Taxes under Sections 4972, 4975,4976, 4977,4979, 4980B, 4980D, 4980E or 5000 of the Code or any penalty or tax under Section 5.02(i) of ERISA except for any such payment or assessment as would not be reasonably expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(f) There is no current or projected liability in respect of post-employment or post-retirement health or medical or life insurance benefits or other retiree benefits for any person, retired, former or current employees of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, except as required by applicable law or under Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”). No condition exists that would prevent the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates from amending or terminating any Company Employee Plan providing health or medical benefits in respect of any current or former employees of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries. None of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any Company Employee Plans promises or provides retiree medical or other retiree welfare benefits to any person, except as required by applicable law and there has been no communication to current or former employees by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries which could reasonably be interpreted to promise or guarantee such employees retiree health or life insurance or other retiree death benefits on a permanent basis.

(g) All contributions and payments due under each Company Employee Plan, determined in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to include proportional accruals for the period ending on the Effective Time, will be discharged and paid on or prior to the Effective Time except to the extent accrued as a liability in accordance with ordinary Company practice. There has been no amendment to, written interpretation of or announcement (whether or not written) by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Company Employee Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such Company Employee Plan above the level of the expense incurred in respect thereof for the most recent fiscal year ended prior to the date hereof. With respect to each Company Employee Plan, there are no benefit obligations for which contributions have not been made or properly accrued to the extent required by GAAP on the Company’s financial statements.

Except as set forth on Section 2.16(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby could (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, or cause the accelerated vesting, funding or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment or benefit to any employee, officer or director of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or could limit the right of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any Company Employee Plan or related trust.

ARTICLE III - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB

Except as set forth on Schedule D delivered by Parent to the Company on the date hereof (the “Parent Disclosure Schedule”), the section numbers of which are numbered to correspond to the section numbers of this Agreement to which they refer, it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section of the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall also be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section of this Agreement to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent, Parent and Merger Sub hereby make the following representations and warranties to the Company:

3.1 Organization and Qualification.

(a) Each of Parent and each Parent Subsidiary (as defined in Section 3.4(a)) is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where any such failure to have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Parent Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein). Each of Parent and each Parent Subsidiary is qualified or otherwise authorized to transact business as a foreign corporation or other organization in all jurisdictions in which such qualification or authorization is required by law, except for jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or authorized would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. “Parent Material Adverse Effect” means any fact, circumstance, event, change, effect or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate with all other facts, circumstances, events, changes, effects, or occurrences, has or would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on or with respect to the business, results of operation or financial condition of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries taken as a whole, provided, however, that a Parent Material Adverse Effect shall not include facts, circumstances, events, changes, effects or occurrences (i) generally affecting the economy or the financial, debt, credit or securities markets in the United States, including as a result of changes in geopolitical conditions, (ii) generally affecting any of the industries in which Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries operate, (iii) resulting from the announcement of this Agreement, (iv) resulting from changes in any applicable laws or regulations or applicable accounting regulations or principles or interpretations thereof, (v) resulting from any actions taken pursuant to or in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (vi) resulting from any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or war or any act of terrorism, (vii) resulting from any failure by the Parent to meet its internal or published projections, budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations, in and of itself (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a “Parent Material Adverse Effect” may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Parent Material Adverse Effect), or (viii) resulting from a decline in the price of the Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such decline that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a “Parent Material Adverse Effect” may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Parent Material Adverse Effect).

Parent has previously provided or made available to the Company true, correct and complete copies of the charter and bylaws or other organizational documents of Parent and each Parent Subsidiary as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and none of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is in violation of any provisions of such documents, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

3.2 Authority to Execute and Perform Agreements. The Parent and the Merger Sub each have the corporate power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement, and, subject to receipt of the Parent Requisite Vote (as defined herein), to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of (i) the Board of Directors of Parent and (ii) the Board of Directors of the Merger Sub, has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, as sole stockholder of Merger Sub, will approve and adopt this Agreement. No other corporate proceeding on the part of the Parent or Merger Sub is necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby other than the approval of the Charter Amendment, the Share Issuance and the CVR Issuance by the requisite holders of Parent Common Stock (and the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Merger as required by the DGCL). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and the Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against Parent and the Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. The only vote of Parent stockholders required to approve (i) the Charter Amendment is an affirmative votes of a number of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock in favor of the Charter Amendment that exceeds the number of votes of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock against the Charter Amendment and (ii) the Share Issuance and the CVR Issuance is the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock (the requisite votes to approve required by clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Parent Requisite Vote”).

3.3 Capitalization and Title to Shares.

(a) The authorized capital stock of Parent consists of (i) 75,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Parent Preferred Stock”), of which 700,000 shares are currently designated Series A-10 Preferred Stock.

(d) Except as has not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, each Parent Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Parent Qualified Plan”) is so qualified and the plan as currently in effect has received a favorable determination or opinion letter to that effect from the Internal Revenue Service, no such determination or opinion letter has been revoked and revocation has not been threatened, and to the Parent’s knowledge, there is no reason why any such determination or opinion letter should be revoked or not be reissued. Parent has made available to the Company copies of the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination or opinion letters with respect to each such Parent Qualified Plan. Each Parent Employee Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including ERISA and the Code, which are applicable to such Parent Employee Plan with such exceptions as would not have or be reasonably expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Parent has complied in all material respects with the reporting and wage withholding requirements under Section 409A of the Code and applicable IRS guidance.

No condition exists that would prevent the Parent or any of its ERISA Affiliates from amending or terminating any Parent Employee Plan providing health or medical benefits in respect of any current or former employees of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries. None of Parent, any of the Parent Subsidiaries, or any Parent Employee Plans promises or provides retiree medical or other retiree welfare benefits to any person, except as required by applicable law and there has been no communication to current or former employees by Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries which could reasonably be interpreted to promise or guarantee such employees retiree health or life insurance or other retiree death benefits on a permanent basis.

(f) All contributions and payments due under each Parent Employee Plan, determined in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to include proportional accruals for the period ending on the Effective Time, will be discharged and paid on or prior to the Effective Time except to the extent accrued as a liability in accordance with ordinary Parent practice. There has been no amendment to, written interpretation of or announcement (whether or not written) by Parent or any of its ERISA Affiliates relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Parent Employee Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such Parent Employee Plan above the level of the expense incurred in respect thereof for the most recent fiscal year ended prior to the date hereof. With respect to each Parent Employee Plan, there are no benefit obligations for which contributions have not been made or properly accrued to the extent required by GAAP on the Parent’s financial statements. The assets of each Parent Employee Plan which is funded are reported at their fair market value on the books and records of such Parent Employee Plan and, if applicable, Parent’s financial statements.

(g) Except as set forth on Section 3.16(g) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, no employee, consultant or former consultant or employee of Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries will become entitled to any bonus, retirement, severance, job security or similar benefit, or the enhancement of any such benefit or any other payment, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby alone or together with any other event. Except as set forth on Section 3.16(g)(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby could (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, or cause the accelerated vesting, funding or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment or benefit to any employee, officer or director of Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries, or could limit the right of Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any Parent Employee Plan or related trust. There is no Contract, plan or arrangement (written or otherwise) covering any employee or former employee of Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to the terms of Sections 280G or 162(m) of the Code, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby alone or together with any other event. The information set forth on Section 3.16(g)(ii) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule regarding severance arrangements for certain executive officers and certain other executives of the Parent is true and correct in all material respects.

(i) There is no material action, suit, investigation, audit, arbitration or proceeding (i) pending against or involving or, to the knowledge of the Parent, threatened against any Parent Employee Plan, (ii) pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent, threatened involving Parent’s or any of the Parent Subsidiaries’ classification of individuals as either employees or independent contractors, (iii) pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened involving Parent’s or any of the Parent Subsidiaries’ classification of Employees as exempt or non-exempt for purposes of wage and hour laws, rules or regulations, or (iv) pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened under any workers compensation policy or long-term disability policy, in each case, before or by any arbitrator or any Governmental Entity other than routine claims for benefits payable under any such policy.

Subject to Section 4.4(c), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of adoption of this Agreement and will take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders required by the DGCL to obtain such approval. The Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is provided to the Company’s stockholders in advance of a vote on adoption of this Agreement or, if as of the time for which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall ensure that the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by the Company in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited, in compliance with the DGCL, its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and all other applicable laws. The Company’s obligation to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with this Section 4.4(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Offer (each as defined below), or by any withdrawal, amendment or modification of the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to this Agreement or the Merger or by any other act or action, including any action contemplated by this Section 4.4. Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, the Company will have no obligation to call, give notice of, convene or hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with this Section 4.4(a).

(c) Prior to the adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and provided that the Company shall not have violated any of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.4(c) in any material respect, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that such action is required in order for the Board of Directors of the Company to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from (A) withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying its recommendation (a “Change of Recommendation”) that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of adoption of this Agreement (regardless of whether the Change of Recommendation occurs before or after delivery of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the Company’s stockholders) and/or (B) terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) and entering into an agreement with respect to such Superior Offer if, in the case of (B), (i) a Superior Offer is made to the Company and is not withdrawn, (ii) the Company shall have provided prompt (and in any event within thirty-six (36) hours) written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Superior Offer”) advising Parent that the Company has received a Superior Offer specifying all of the terms and conditions of such Superior Offer identifying the person or entity making such Superior Offer, and providing a copy of all documentation relating to the Superior Offer, and (iii) Parent shall not, within three (3) business days of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Offer, have made an offer (a “Counterproposal”) that the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors) to be at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders as such Superior Offer. The Company shall provide Parent with prior notice of its intention to make such Change of Recommendation and/or take action with respect to such Superior Offer, as applicable (a “Notice of Change of Recommendation”), no later than the later of (i) two (2) business days prior to such Change of Recommendation or other action or (ii) two (2) business days after any Counterproposal made by Parent pursuant to Section 4.4(c)(B)(iii) (the “Notice Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) if there is any revision to the financial terms or any other material term of an Acquisition Proposal which revision affects the determination of whether an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer to the Merger or any Counterproposal, the Company shall extend the Notice Period as necessary to ensure that at least two (2) business days remain in the Notice Period and (ii) any Notice of Superior Offer shall also constitute a Notice of Change of Recommendation if Parent does not make a Counterproposal prior to the expiration of the period set forth in Section 4.4(c)(B)(iii).

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Offer” shall mean an unsolicited, bona fide written offer made by a third party to consummate any of the following transactions: (i) a merger or consolidation involving the Company pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction would, as a result of such transaction, hold less than 50% of the voting equity interest in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction, (ii) the acquisition by any person or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) including by way of a tender offer or an exchange offer or a two-step transaction involving a tender offer followed with reasonable promptness by a cash-out merger involving the Company), directly or indirectly, of ownership of 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, or (iii) the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in one or a series of transactions pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction would, as a result of such transaction, hold less than 50% of the voting equity of the acquirer, on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside financial advisors and after taking into account, among other things, the financial, legal and regulatory aspects of such offer (including any financing required and the availability thereof), as well as any revisions to the terms hereof proposed by Parent pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) (including any Counterproposal)) is more favorable to the Company stockholders than the terms of the Merger (taking into account any revisions to the terms hereof proposed by Parent pursuant to this Section 4.4(c) (including any Counterproposal)).

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders), if, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultation with its outside counsel, such disclosure is required in order for the Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary obligations, or is otherwise required, under applicable law; provided that the Company shall not disclose a position constituting a Change of Recommendation unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4(c); and provided, further that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation unless the Company’s Board of Directors expressly publicly reaffirms the recommendation that the stockholders of the Company adopt this Agreement (x) in such communication or (y) within five (5) business days after requested to do so by Parent.

4.5 Confidentiality; Access to Information.

(a) The parties acknowledge that the Company and Parent have previously executed that certain confidentiality agreement dated December 17, 2007, between the Company and Parent, as amended to date (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b) Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, will afford the other party and the other party’s accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access during regular business hours to its properties, books, records and personnel during the period prior to the Effective Time to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of product development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel, as the other party may reasonably request. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company. No information or knowledge obtained by a party in any investigation pursuant to this Section 4.5 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger.

4.6 No Solicitation.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, the Company and its subsidiaries will not, nor will they authorize or permit any of their respective officers, directors or employees or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative retained by any of them to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or induce the making or submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that prior to adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, this Section 4.6(a) shall not prohibit the Company from furnishing nonpublic information, or entering into discussions with, any person or group who has submitted (and not withdrawn) to the Company an unsolicited, written, bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith (after consultation its outside financial advisors) constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Offer; provided further, however, that (1) neither the Company nor any representative of the Company and its subsidiaries shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.6(a) or Section 4.6(b), in each case in any material respect, (2) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such action is reasonably necessary in order for the Board of Directors of the Company to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law, (3) prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to, or entering into any such discussions with, such person or group, the Company shall have received from such person or group an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms at least as restrictive with regard to the Company’s confidential information as the Confidentiality Agreement, and (4) contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such person or group, the Company shall have furnished such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information shall not have been previously furnished by the Company to Parent). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company and its subsidiaries shall immediately cease, and cause their respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys and other advisors and representatives to cease, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding two sentences by any officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.6 by the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, offer or proposal (other than an inquiry, offer or proposal by Parent, Merger Sub or their respective affiliates) relating to, or involving: (A) any acquisition or purchase (other than the purchase of Company Series A Preferred Stock) by any person or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) of more than a 25% beneficial ownership interest in the total outstanding voting securities of Company or any of its subsidiaries; (B) any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) beneficially owning 25% or more of the total outstanding voting securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (C) any merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction hold or, in the case of a subsidiary of the Company, the Company holds, less than 50% of the equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction; (D) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license (other than in the ordinary course of business), acquisition, or disposition of any assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that generate or constitute 50% or more of the net revenue, net income or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (E) any liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other reorganization of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries whose business constitutes more than 50% of the net revenue, net income or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

(b) Prior to providing any information to or entering into discussions or negotiations with any person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal by such person, the Company as promptly as practicable, and in any event within thirty-six (36) hours of its receipt, shall advise Parent orally and in writing of an Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or other inquiry which the Company reasonably believes could lead to an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and provide copies of all written materials sent or provided to the Company by or on behalf of any person or group or provided to any such person or group by or on behalf of the Company.

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, advancement of expenses and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by law.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect insurance “tail” policies with respect to the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company covering those persons who are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy as of the date hereof (the “D&O Insurance”) for any matter existing or occurring or any acts or omissions or events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for a total cost not to exceed $120,000 (the "Insurance Cap"), provided, if such policy is not available for such cost, then the Surviving Corporation shall be required to obtain as much coverage as is possible under substantially similar policies for such premium as does not exceed the Insurance Cap.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Indemnified Party is a party to or is otherwise involved (including as a witness) in any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) (a "Proceeding") on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 4.15 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such Proceeding.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, from and after the Effective Time, all rights to indemnification now existing in favor of the employees, agents, directors or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to their activities as such prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any indemnification agreement, employment agreement or Company Employee Plan, in each case in effect on the date thereof, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time.

(e) This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, such other parties entitled to indemnification hereunder and their respective heirs and legal representatives. The rights to indemnification and advancement and the other rights provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party or any other person entitled to indemnification hereunder is entitled, whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise.

4.16 Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment. Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to, intentionally take or cause to be taken any action, whether before or after the Effective Time, which would reasonably be expected to disqualify the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

4.17 Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Merger shall be borne by the Surviving Corporation and expressly shall not be a liability of stockholders of the Company.

4.18 Takeover Statute. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “business combination,” “control share acquisition” or other form of anti-takeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement after the date of this Agreement, each of the Company and Parent and the members of their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated herein and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this Section 4.18 shall be construed to permit Parent or Merger Sub to do any act that would constitute a violation or breach of, or as a waiver of any of the Company’s rights under, any other provision of this Agreement.

4.19 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall be permitted to take such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

4.20 Registration Statement for Certain Resales. On the first business day immediately following the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall file a resale registration statement on Form S-3 (which may be in the form of a new registration statement or post-effective amendment of the Registration Statement) registering the resale of (i) all shares of Parent Common Stock owned by any person (such persons collectively, the “Restricted Holders”) who may not offer or sell any shares of Parent Common Stock received pursuant to this Agreement or the CVR Agreement without registration of such offer and sale under the Securities Act, and (ii) all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Company Warrants.

(i) upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 would not be satisfied, provided that if such inaccuracy in the Company’s representations and warranties or breach by the Company is curable by the Company, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) prior to the Termination Date, provided the Company exercises commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach; and provided further that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e)(i) if Parent or Merger Sub is then in material breach of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

(g) by either Parent or the Company if, upon a vote taken thereon at the Parent Shareholders’ Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, the Charter Amendment, the Share Issuance or the CVR Issuance shall not have been approved by the Parent Requisite Vote provided, however, that the right to terminate the Agreement under this Section 8.1(g) shall not be available to Parent when the failure to obtain the Parent Requisite Vote shall have been caused by the action or failure to act of the Parent and such action or failure to act constitutes material breach by the Parent of this Agreement

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party hereto, except as provided in Sections 4.5(a), this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article IX, which shall survive such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to affect their right to specific performance under Section 9.11. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

8.3 Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated; provided, however, that Parent and Company shall share equally all fees and expenses, other than attorneys’ and accountants fees and expenses, incurred in relation to the printing and filing with the SEC of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (including any preliminary materials related thereto) and the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits) and any amendments or supplements thereto (including SEC filing fees).

In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 8.1(d)(ii), or 8.1(e)(ii), the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two days (or if such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) after the date of such termination, pay Parent a fee equal to $377,000 in immediately available funds (the “Termination Fee”). In the absence of fraud on the part of the Company, payment of the Termination Fee is the sole and exclusive remedy for the parties in connection with any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.1(d)(ii) or 8.1(e)(ii).

8.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time, whether before or after approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent, by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment may, without the consent of the Stockholder Representative, change in any manner adverse to the Stockholder Representative any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the provisions of this Section 8.4, and (ii) after approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent, no amendment of this Agreement shall be made which by law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent without obtaining such approvals.

8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) subject to the proviso set forth in Section 8.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein.

Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

CORPORATION, ONSTREAM MERGER CORP., NARROWSTEP INC., AND

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇

FORM OF CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated _________ __, 2008, by and among Onstream Media Corporation (“Parent”), a Florida corporation, ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, as CVR Representative (the "CVR Representative") and Interwest Transfer Co., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”), in favor of each person (a “Holder”) who from time to time holds one or more Contingent Value Rights (the “CVRs”) to receive a number of shares of Parent common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Parent Common Stock”), in the amounts and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. A registration statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-______) (the “Registration Statement”) with respect to, among other securities, the CVRs, has been prepared and filed by Parent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and has become effective in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). This Agreement is entered into in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of May __, 2008, by and among Parent, Onstream Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”), Narrowstep Inc. (the “Company”), and ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, which sets forth the allocation of (i) one CVR for each outstanding share of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any Company Restricted Stock Awards outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) one CVR issuable for each share of Company Common Stock issuable immediately prior to the Effective Time upon exercise of a Company Warrant, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

Section 1. Appointment of Rights Agent. Parent hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act in accordance with the instructions set forth herein, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Section 2. Issuance of CVRs; Form of CVR Certificate.

2.1 The CVRs shall be issued (i) as a portion of the Merger Consideration at the times and in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) in connection with the exercise of the Company Warrants pursuant to Section 1.6(f) of the Merger Agreement at the times and in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement and in this Agreement.

2.2 In the event of the exercise of a Company Warrant prior to the Final Exercise Date (as defined herein), Parent shall, as soon as practicable following the date of such exercise, notify the Rights Agent of such exercise, including the name and mailing address of the exercising Company Warrant holder; and (ii) the Rights Agent shall record in the CVR Register (as defined herein) that such holder owns a number of CVRs equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would have been issued if such exercise occurred immediately prior to the Effective Time.

2.3 As soon as practicable following the Final Exercise Date, Parent shall notify the Rights Agent of any Company Warrants that have not been exercised in full as of such time. Any Company Warrants that are not exercised prior to the Final Exercise Date shall not be entitled to receive any CVRs or CVR Consideration (as defined herein); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall affect the rights of the holders of Company Warrants to receive Parent Common Stock upon the exercise thereof in accordance with their respective terms and the Merger Agreement.

2.4 The CVRs shall be evidenced by certificates (the “CVR Certificates”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The CVR Certificates may have such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries, or endorsements printed, lithographed, or engraved thereon as Parent may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto.

2.5 The CVR Certificates shall be executed on behalf of Parent by the manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future President or Vice President of Parent, under its corporate seal, affixed or in facsimile, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future Secretary or Assistant Secretary of Parent and countersigned by Rights Agent. CVR Certificates shall be dated as of the date of the initial issuance thereof or the date of any subsequent transfer, as the case may be.

2.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, CVRs issued upon exercise of Company Warrants may, at Parent's option, be issued in uncertificated form. Any CVRs issued in uncertificated form shall be the same security, in every manner and in every respect, as a CVR for which a CVR Certificate has been issued (including, but not limited, with respect to the rights, powers, privileges and preferences existing under this Agreement.

Section 3. Registration.

3.1 The Rights Agent shall maintain an ownership register (the "CVR Register") in which the Rights Agent shall provide for the registration of the CVRs, including any CVRs issued in certificated or book entry form to holders of Company Warrants. Prior to transfer of any CVR as provided for herein, in the case of CVRs for which CVR Certificates have been issued, Parent and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder thereof as the absolute owner of the CVR Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than Parent or the Rights Agent), for the purpose of the CVR Consideration and for all other purposes, and neither Parent nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

3.2 A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent or Parent to change such Holder's address of record in the CVR Register. Upon receipt of such written notice by the Rights Agent, the Rights Agent shall promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.

Section 4. Payment and Exchange of CVRs.

4.1 CVR Exchange Ratio.

(a) Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each CVR (including any CVRs owned by Company Warrant holders pursuant to this Agreement) shall be converted and become the right to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the "CVR Shares") equal to the sum of (i) the CVR Year One Exchange Ratio (as defined herein), plus (ii) the CVR Year Two Exchange Ratio (as defined herein), plus (iii) in the case of CVRs issued other than in respect of Company Warrants, the Warrant Expiration Exchange Ratio (as defined herein); plus (iv) the 2006 Warrant Expiration Exchange Ratio (as defined herein); provided, however, that, the maximum number of CVR Shares deliverable hereunder shall not exceed (A) 20,000,000, minus (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Common Stock are converted pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i)(a) of the Merger Agreement, excluding, in the case of this clause (B) any unvested Company Restricted Stock Awards that fail to vest in accordance with their respective terms, minus (C) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iv) of the Merger Agreement. The CVR Shares that may be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are sometimes referred to herein as the "CVR Consideration". Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the number referenced in clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence shall, until the such time as any CVR Shares are issuable pursuant to Section 4.3(e) hereof, be deemed to equal 19,900,000 and thereafter shall be 20,000,000 less the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the cashless exercise of Company 2006 Warrants but such reduction not to exceed 100,000.

(b) "CVR Year One Exchange Ratio" means the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the First Year Revenue Shares (as defined herein), plus (B) the First Year Additional Revenue Shares (as defined herein), less (C) the lesser of 100,000 or the sum of the First Year Revenue Shares and the First Year Additional Revenue Shares by (ii) the sum of (X) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares and Subsidiary Held Shares) plus (Y) the number of CVRs issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants pursuant to Section 1.6(f) of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the CVR Year One Exchange Ratio is a negative number, the CVR Year One Exchange Ratio shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be zero.

(c) "First Year Revenue Shares" means a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (A) two (2) multiplied by (B) the First Year Revenue (as defined herein) minus the Annualized Company Revenue (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or minus $4,500,000 if the Minimum Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceeded the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided, however, that if the First Year Revenue exceeds $8,000,000, for purposes of this Section 4.1(c) only, First Year Revenue shall be deemed to be $8,000,000. "First Year Revenue" means (A) all revenue recognized by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective affiliates, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a basis consistent with the Company's financial statements, with respect to the Business, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (such period the “First Year” and such anniversary, the "Twelve Month Anniversary") (the "First Year Gross Revenue"), minus (B) any First Year Bad Debt Expense (as defined herein). "First Year Bad Debt Expense" means, subject to the immediately following sentence, an amount equal to the product of (X) (1) the amount recorded by Parent or the Surviving Corporation as actual write-offs of revenue of the Business during the First Year divided by First Year Gross Revenue (such quotient expressed as a percent) minus (2) one percent multiplied by (Y) First Year Gross Revenue, but only to the extent such product exceeds one percent (1.0%) of the First Year Gross Revenue. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event First Year Bad Debt Expense exceeds nine percent (9.0%) of the First Year Gross Revenue, First Year Bad Debt expense shall be deemed to equal eight percent (8.0%) of the First Year Gross Revenue.

(d) "Business" means the business of developing, selling and servicing (including, but not limited to, with respect to customers of Parent, or any of its affiliates, existing prior to the Effective Time) (i) any products or services offered by the Company or its subsidiaries on or prior to the date of the Merger Agreement; (ii) any products or services in development by the Company or its subsidiaries on or prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Company's "TelvOS" product; and (iii) any products or services derived or based, in whole or in part, on the products or services referenced in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).

If CVR Representative gives Parent a written objection and if the parties fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to such report within a period of thirty (30) days after notification of rejection, the parties shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to an independent public accounting firm (the "Independent Accountant") acceptable to the parties for resolution. The parties agree to execute such engagement or similar letter as reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, the parties shall or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information related to those disputed issues as the Independent Accountant may request and are available to that party or its representatives before the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any material related to the disputed issues and discuss the issues with the Independent Accountant.

The aggregate CVR Shares issuable in respect of (i) the Year One Exchange Ratio shall be reduced by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Accountant Fees relating to Parent's Year One Report by the average of the last reported sales prices of Parent Common Stock on the primary exchange where it is traded for the last fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date of determination of the Year One Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the Year Two Exchange Ratio shall be reduced by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Accountant Fees relating to Parent's Year Two Report by the average of the last reported sales prices of Parent Common Stock on the primary exchange where it is traded for the last fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date of determination of the Year Two Exchange Ratio.

(f) Upon delivery of a Parent's Report, Parent will provide the CVR Representative and its accountants and advisors access to (i) Parent's Chief Financial Officer for questions, and (ii) the books and records of the Surviving Corporation (including any work papers used to prepare a Parent's Report) and such other information requested by such persons, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary related to the CVR Representative's evaluation of a Parent's Report and the calculations therein.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section 4.4 shall result in (i) a change in the calculation of the CVR Year One Exchange Ratio set forth in Section 4.1(b), or the replacement of First Year Revenue used in that calculation, if the Change of Control occurs after the Twelve Month Anniversary or (ii) a change in the calculation of the CVR Year Two Exchange Ratio set forth in Section 4.1(f), or the replacement of Second Year Revenue, if the Change of Control occurs after the Eighteen Month Anniversary.

If any certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the CVR Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall deliver to the Rights Agent all documents necessary to evidence and effect such transfer and shall pay to the Rights Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the CVR Certificate surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of the Rights Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

13.2 The Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to Parent notice in writing, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, which notice shall be sent at least 15 days prior to the date so specified. If the Rights Agent shall resign or otherwise become incapable of acting, Parent shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent reasonably acceptable to the CVR Representative. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties, and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the former Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent copies of all books, records, plans, and other documents in the former Rights Agent's possession relating to the CVRs or this Agreement and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act, or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 13.2 or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

13.3 The Rights Agent may be removed at any time upon 15 days written notice by act of the CVR Representative and Parent.

13.4 If at any time the Rights Agent shall become incapable of acting, any Holder of a CVR may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Rights Agent and the appointment of a successor Rights Agent.

13.5 Parent shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice shall include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Parent fails to send such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent shall cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Parent.

13.6 Each successor Rights Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Parent and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent; but, on request of Parent or the successor Rights Agent, such retiring Rights Agent shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Rights Agent.

14.1 Company May Not Consolidate, Etc. So long as the CVRs remain outstanding, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not consolidate with or merge into any other person or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, unless:

(b) Parent or the Surviving Corporation has delivered to the Rights Agent an officer’s certificate stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease complies with all of the terms of Sections 14.1 through 14.3 hereof and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

14.2 Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation of or merger by Parent with or into any other person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person in accordance with Section 14.1, the Surviving Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Parent under this Agreement with the same effect as if the Surviving Person had been named as Parent herein.

The Holders shall jointly and severally indemnify the CVR Representative and hold it harmless against any and all liabilities incurred by it, except for liabilities incurred by the CVR Representative resulting from its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith, provided, however, that any indemnification obligations of the Holders shall be satisfied solely out of the CVR Shares deliverable under this Agreement, but only to the extent such CVR Shares were not issued prior to the time such indemnification obligation arises. The CVR Representative shall be entitled to receive a number of CVR Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the amount of the indemnification obligation referenced in the immediately preceding sentence by the average of the last reported sales prices of Parent Common Stock on the primary exchange where it is traded for the last fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of such shares pursuant to this Agreement.
