Concurrently with the payment of the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration, Discovery shall pay to each Person to whom an Identified Excluded Liability is owed that Discovery desires to have paid at the Closing (each, a “Pay-off Amount”), on the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ behalf (unless Discovery determines that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries should instead make such payment directly, in which case the parties shall cause the Company to pay), the amount of such Pay-off Amount as set forth in the schedule of Identified Excluded Liabilities.

Section 2.10. Conversion of Shares.

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub2. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each issued and outstanding share of Merger Sub2 common stock will convert into and become 632 fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Company Stock. Except in the case of shares of Common Stock owned by Convex, and subject to Section 2.11(f), at the Effective Time and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, the outstanding shares of Common Stock will convert into the right to receive per share merger consideration (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) applicable to such holder of Common Stock as follows: (i) each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock held by the Cash Stockholders will convert into the right to receive the Cash Common Per Share Merger Consideration; and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock held by the Other Stockholders will convert into the right to receive the Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration. The shares of Common Stock held by Convex immediately prior to the Effective Time will convert into 368 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) No Further Rights. As a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, at the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, other than shares of Common Stock held by Convex (which will convert into 368 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation), shall cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock, except (i) the right of Convex to convert its Common Stock into 368 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and (ii) the right of the Former Company Stockholders to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration upon the surrender of a certificate representing such issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (such certificates, collectively, the “Company Certificates”) in accordance with the payment terms set forth

in Sections 2.11 and 2.12, together with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal, or the rights described in Section 2.10(e). Neither Convex nor the Former Convex Stockholders nor the Convex Optionholders shall be entitled to any Per Share Merger Consideration.

(e) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any holder of shares of Company Stock who perfects, and has not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited at or prior to the Effective Time, such holder’s dissenters’ rights in accordance with and as contemplated by Section 262 of the DGCL (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration as described in Section 2.10(b), but shall, as of the Effective Time, be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to shares of Company Stock owned by such Dissenting Stockholder (the “Dissenting Shares”); provided, that no such payment shall be made to any Dissenting Stockholder unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder has complied with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and surrendered to the Surviving Corporation the Company Certificate or Certificates representing the Dissenting Shares for which payment is being made. In the event that after the Effective Time a Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, his right to appraisal, in each case in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenting Stockholder’s shares of Company Stock shall no longer be considered Dissenting Shares for the purposes of this Agreement and such holder’s shares of Company Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted, at the Effective Time, as described in Section 2.10(b), and Discovery shall cause the Paying Agent to pay the Closing Cash Common Per Share Merger Consideration or the Closing Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration, as the case may be, theretofore withheld in respect of such Dissenting Shares, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that a Dissenting Stockholder perfects its appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, the Paying Agent shall retain the Cash Common Per Share Merger Consideration or the Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration, as the case may be, allocable to such Dissenting Stockholder until the resolution of such appraisal action. The Company shall give Discovery (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of shares of Common Stock received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands.

Section 2.11. Exchange and Payment Procedures.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall appoint an institutional agent reasonably acceptable to Discovery (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of making payments pursuant to this Section 2.11 upon valid surrender of Company Certificates.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in any event by October 31, 2007, the Paying Agent, as instructed by the Company, or the Company shall mail to each holder of record of Company Stock on the applicable record date the notices required in connection with having obtained the Requisite Consent of Stockholders approving the Merger by Section 228(e) of the DGCL, including an information statement (the “Information Statement”) describing in reasonable detail the Merger and this Agreement, containing a notice to Company Stockholders of their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, and soliciting further consents of the Company Stockholders to the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger and consents of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock to the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock, in addition to the consents previously obtained.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent, as instructed by the Company, or the Company shall mail to each holder of record of Company Stock on the applicable record date:

(i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to the Paying Agent, which will be in such form as the Company and Discovery agree prior to Closing; provided that, such Letter of Transmittal will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to shares of the Company Stock will pass, only upon actual delivery of the Company Certificates (or an affidavit of lost instrument in customary form with respect to such Company Certificates) and will include representations and warranties from the holders of Common Stock with respect to ownership and title to their respective Common Stock without Encumbrances; and

(ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Certificates in exchange for a portion of the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Stock formerly represented thereby.

(d) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock notice of the proposed Merger and notice of the anticipated conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock.

(e) Upon surrender of a Company Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as Discovery or the Paying Agent reasonably requests, the holder of such Company Certificate will be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor the Closing Cash Common Per Share Merger Consideration or the Closing Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration, as the case may be (subject to Section 2.11(f), and to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.12) for each share of Common Stock evidenced by such Company Certificate, including, when and as paid, its Pro Rata Percentage of the HSW Escrow Fund, the GeoNova Escrow Fund, the Intercompany Escrow Fund and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund. The Company Certificate so surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.11(e) will be cancelled. Except in the case of the shares of Common Stock of the Company held by Convex, which will convert into 368 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.11, each Company Certificate will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Cash Common Per Share Merger Consideration or the Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration, as the case may be, with respect to the shares of Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to each holder of Common Stock will be reduced by such holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Holdback Amount, the GeoNova Holdback Amount, the Intercompany Holdback Amount and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Amount and (ii) the Paying Agent shall retain, and promptly remit to an account designated in writing by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, out of the aggregate Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration payable to each Other Stockholder and the aggregate Option Cash-Out Amount payable to each Accredited Optionholder (in each case after application of clause (i) above) each such holder’s MTG Pro Rata Percentage of an aggregate amount equal to 63.27% of the Mobil Travel Guide Valuation Amount; it being understood and agreed that (x) proceeds retained pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be used by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative to fund, on behalf of the Other Stockholders and the Accredited Optionholders, the acquisition of 63.27% of the equity securities of MTG Co., as provided in Section 5.10, and (y) such retained proceeds shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been distributed to the Other Stockholders and the Accredited Optionholders and then used by the Other Stockholders and the Accredited Optionholders to consummate the acquisition of 63.27% of the equity securities of MTG Co.

(g) If any portion of the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the holder of record of Common Stock, it will be a condition to such payment that the Company Certificate(s) so surrendered will be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer (with the signature or signatures thereof guaranteed to the extent required by the Letter of Transmittal) and that the Person requesting such payment will pay to the Paying Agent any taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Certificate(s) or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(h) Except in the case of the shares of Common Stock of the Company held by Convex, which will convert into 368 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, at or after the Effective Time, there will be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they will be cancelled and exchanged in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II without interest.

(i) At any time following six months after the Effective Time, Discovery shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Company Certificates, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to Discovery (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Discovery, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent nor any other Person shall be liable to any holder of a Company Certificate for Per Share Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Company Certificate (or affidavit delivered pursuant to Section 2.11(j) below) shall not have been surrendered prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any cash in respect of such Company Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body), any such cash in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Discovery, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(j) If any Company Certificate is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed and, if required by Discovery, such Person executing an agreement in customary form and reasonably satisfactory to Discovery indemnifying

Discovery against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Certificate, the Paying Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed Company Certificate a share of the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration, as provided in this Section 2.11, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement, and shall thereafter make all payments due hereunder with respect to the Company Stock represented thereby.

(k) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Company Option then outstanding (each, an “Outstanding Company Option”) shall be converted into the right to receive in respect of each share of Common Stock subject to such Company Option a payment in cash (the “Option Cash-Out Amount”) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration over (ii) the exercise price per share applicable in respect of such Company Option (the “Per Share Exercise Price”). The Option Cash-Out Amount shall be paid, without interest, to each holder of an Outstanding Company Option in installments as specified in this Section 2.11(k). Except as specified below with respect to Unvested Company Options, at each time that any payment is made in accordance with this Agreement to the Other Stockholders in respect of their shares of Common Stock, the holder of an Outstanding Company Option shall receive payment of an amount equal to the amount that would have been paid to such holder in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company Option (the “Closing Vested Option Shares”) had such Outstanding Company Option been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that (x) if the Closing Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration is equal to or exceeds the Per Share Exercise Price in respect of a Closing Vested Option Share, the amount payable to any such holder in respect of any Closing Vested Option Share shall be reduced, at the time that the Closing Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration is payable to the Other Stockholders, by the Per Share Exercise Price corresponding thereto and (y) if the Closing Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration, as the case may be, is less than the Per Share Exercise Price in respect of a Closing Vested Option Share, the amount payable to any such holder in respect of any Closing Vested Option Share shall be reduced by the amount of the Closing Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration and shall be further reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any subsequent payments of the Other Common Per Share Merger Consideration until the aggregate amount of all reductions in accordance with this proviso from all such payments equals the Per Share Exercise Price corresponding thereto. No payment shall be made to a holder of an Unvested Company Option until the date, if any, that the conditions for such Unvested Company Option (or the applicable portion thereof) to become exercisable under the terms of the Company Incentive Compensation Plan and the stock option agreement governing such Company Option have been satisfied (the “Applicable Vesting Date”). As soon as practicable (but not later than 30 days) following any Applicable Vesting Date, the Company shall pay the holder thereof, in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Unvested Company Option would have first

become exercisable as of such Applicable Vesting Date (the “Subsequently Vested Option Shares”), an amount in cash equal to the excess of (i) the sum of all amounts paid per share to the Other Stockholders in respect of the Final Merger Consideration on or prior to such Applicable Vesting Date (the “Catch-Up Amount”) over (ii) the Per Share Exercise Price with respect to the Subsequently Vested Option Shares. Thereafter, the Company shall pay the holder of any Unvested Company Option in respect of any Subsequently Vested Option Shares additional cash payments, without interest, at each time that any additional payment is made in accordance with this Agreement to the Other Stockholders in respect of their shares of Common Stock, in the same amount as would have been paid to such holder had the Subsequently Vested Option Shares been outstanding at the Effective Time. In the event that any Unvested Company Option (or any portion thereof) is forfeited after the Effective Time because it is reasonably determined that the conditions for the number of shares of Common Stock corresponding to such Unvested Company Options (or any applicable portion thereof) to have become exercisable under the terms of the Company Incentive Compensation Plan and the stock option agreement governing such Company Option cannot be satisfied, any Catch-Up Amount (the “Forfeited Amount”) that would have been payable in respect of such number of shares of Common Stock (the “Forfeited Shares”) had such conditions been satisfied shall be added to the aggregate amount to be distributed to Former Company Stockholders and in respect of Closing Vested Option Shares and Subsequently Vested Option Shares at the next time at which any distribution is to be made to Former Company Stockholders that is at least 60 days (or such greater or fewer number of days as Discovery and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall agree in writing) after the date such Unvested Company Option is forfeited. In determining the amount to be payable to any such Former Company Stockholders or in respect of any Closing Vested Option Shares and Subsequently Vested Option Shares following any forfeitures in respect of Unvested Company Options, the Pro Rata Percentage of each Former Company Stockholder and each holder of Company Options shall be recalculated, giving effect to such forfeitures. The portion of the Forfeited Amount equal to the aggregate Pro Rata Percentage of the Unvested Company Options as to which no Applicable Vesting Date has occurred shall be reserved for distribution to the holders of such Unvested Company Options in accordance with this Section 2.11(k) or, to the extent that any such amounts shall become Forfeited Amounts, to Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders in accordance with this Section 2.11(k). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any and all amounts payable in respect of any Company Option in accordance with this Section 2.11(k) shall be reduced, at the time or times and in the amounts determined in accordance with applicable law, by any and all applicable Federal, state and local income, excise and/or employment taxes required to be withheld in respect thereof.

Section 2.12. Adjustment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Within 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, Discovery shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the HSW Stockholders’ Representative (collectively, the “Closing Date Financial Statements”): (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time giving effect to the Disposition and the Merger (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), (ii) a calculation of Net Debt as of the Effective Time giving effect to the Merger (the “Final Net Debt Balance”) and (iii) an itemized schedule setting forth all Excluded Liabilities (including an itemized schedule of Company Transaction Expenses) as of the Effective Time based on the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Final Closing Excluded Liabilities”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be derived from the accounting books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and prepared in conformity with GAAP and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, on the basis of the same accounting principles and practices used by the Company in preparing the Most Recent Balance Sheet.

(b) Upon delivery of the Closing Date Financial Statements, the Company shall provide the HSW Stockholders’ Representative and its accountants, consultants, attorneys and advisors or other representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the properties, Business Records and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as well as the papers prepared by the Company, its Subsidiaries or its accountants, in each case to the extent that they relate to the matters addressed in this Section 2.12. The HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall provide Discovery with a reasonably detailed written notice of any disagreement with Discovery’s determination of the Final Net Debt Balance and Final Closing Excluded Liabilities within 30 days after its receipt of the Closing Date Financial Statements. If no notice of disagreement is received by Discovery on or prior to the close of business on the last day of such 30-day period, the calculation of the Final Net Debt Balance and Final Closing Excluded Liabilities shall be deemed accepted by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative. If any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, Discovery and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 30 days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation of the Final Net Debt Balance and Final Closing Excluded Liabilities. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreement(s), then an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Discovery and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative (the “Accountant”) shall resolve any remaining disagreements. If Discovery and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative are unable to agree on the Accountant, then Discovery and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall each have the right to request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Accountant, which shall not have had a material relationship with Discovery, the Company, a Former Company Stockholder who held 5% or more of the capital stock of the Company, or the HSW Stockholders’ Representative

subsequent to December 31, 2006. The Accountant shall review those items remaining in dispute as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of the date on which such dispute is referred to the Accountant, based solely on written submissions to the Accountant by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative and Discovery and not on any independent review of the Closing Balance Sheet, and shall determine whether and to what extent (if any) the Final Net Debt Balance and Final Closing Excluded Liabilities require adjustment; provided, that the scope of the dispute to be resolved by the Accountant shall be limited to whether the Closing Balance Sheet was prepared in accordance with GAAP and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, on the basis of the same accounting principles and practices used by the Company in preparing the Most Recent Balance Sheet, and whether there were mathematical errors in the Closing Date calculations, and the Accountant shall not make any other determination. In reaching its determination, the only alternatives available to the Accountant will be to (i) accept the position of Discovery, (ii) accept the position of the HSW Stockholders’ Representative or (iii) accept a position between those two positions. The determination of the Accountant shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the HSW Stockholders’ Representative and Discovery and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses relating to the work performed by the Accountant shall be borne pro rata by Discovery on one hand and by the Company Stockholders and Optionholders on the other hand in inverse proportion to the allocation made by the Accountant of the dollar amount of the unresolved items, in the aggregate, between Discovery and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, such that the party with whom the Accountant agrees more closely pays a lesser proportion of the fees and expenses; provided that, the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders will bear only 63.27% of the fees and expenses of the Accountant allocable to the Company Stockholders (with the remaining 36.73% of such fees and expenses being borne by the Former Convex Stockholders and the Convex Optionholders pursuant to the Convex Merger Agreement), which amount shall be paid from the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund.

(c) If the Final Net Debt Balance is more than the Target Closing Net Debt Balance and the positive number represented by such excess (the “Final Net Debt Excess Amount”) is greater than the Estimated Net Debt Excess Amount, if any, then the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration will be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by 63.27% of the difference between (x) such Final Net Debt Excess Amount and (y) the Estimated Net Debt Excess Amount (or if there was no Estimated Net Debt Excess Amount, zero) and Discovery will receive payment in accordance with Section 2.12(e). If the Final Net Debt Balance is more than the Target Closing Net Debt Balance, but the Final Net Debt Excess Amount is less than the Estimated Net Debt Excess Amount, then the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration will be supplemented on a dollar-for-dollar basis by 63.27% of the difference between: (x) the Estimated Net Debt Excess Amount and (y) such Final Net Debt Excess Amount, and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative will receive, for payment to the Former Company Stockholders and payment to, or reservation

for, the Optionholders, as the case may be, in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage, payment in accordance with Section 2.12(e). If the Final Net Debt Balance is equal to the Target Closing Net Debt Balance, and the Estimated Net Debt Excess Amount was greater than zero, then the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration will be supplemented on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to 63.27% of the Estimated Net Debt Excess Amount, and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative will receive, for payment to the Former Company Stockholders and payment to, or reservation for, the Optionholders, as the case may be, in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage, payment in accordance with Section 2.12(e).

(d) If Final Closing Excluded Liabilities are more than Estimated Excluded Liabilities, then the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration will be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by 63.27% of the amount of such excess, and Discovery will receive payment in accordance with Section 2.12(e). If Final Closing Excluded Liabilities are less than Estimated Excluded Liabilities, then the Closing Aggregate Merger Consideration will be supplemented on a dollar-for-dollar basis by 63.27% of the amount of such deficiency, and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative will receive, for payment to the Former Company Stockholders and payment to, or reservation for, the Optionholders, as the case may be, in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage, payment in accordance with Section 2.12(e).

(e) The amount of the payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12(c) and (d) will be netted together as one amount (such net payment amount, the “Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount”). Any payment of the Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount required to be made by the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders to Discovery shall be made by the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders from the HSW Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to the extent there are amounts available. Any payment of the Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount required to be made by Discovery to the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders shall be made by Discovery to the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, for payment to the Former Company Stockholders and payment to, or reservation for, the Optionholders, as the case may be, in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts previously designated in writing by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative and the Company to Discovery; provided, that any amounts payable in respect of Unvested Company Options that are not then vested will be paid by Discovery in accordance with Section 2.11(k).

(f) In addition to the foregoing, to the extent that amounts owed by the Former Convex Stockholders and Convex Optionholders pursuant to Section 2.12(e) of the Convex Merger Agreement cannot be paid because there are no funds available in the

Convex Escrow Fund, such amounts will be paid by the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders from the HSW Escrow Fund, to the extent funds are available in the HSW Escrow Fund.

Section 2.13. Withholding Taxes. The Paying Agent, Discovery and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Former Company Stockholder or Optionholder such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, (a) such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Former Company Stockholder or Optionholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made and (b) the Paying Agent, Discovery or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall provide to such Former Company Stockholder or Optionholder written notice of the amounts so deducted or withheld.

Section 2.14. HSW Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, by virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Consent of the Stockholders and without any further action by the Company or the Company Stockholders), the HSW Stockholders’ Representative is hereby appointed by the Company for and on behalf of the Company Stockholders and the Optionholders with full and unqualified power to delegate to one or more Persons the authority granted to it hereunder, to irrevocably act for each such holder as its agent, representative, proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to take all actions required, desirable or permitted to be taken by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative by or on behalf of any of the Company Stockholders and the Optionholders pursuant hereto or contemplated hereby, and after the Effective Time for all purposes hereunder, on their individual and collective behalf (as applicable joint and severally), as such HSW Stockholders’ Representative in his or her sole and absolute discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, the power to:

(iv) perform all duties and obligations of the HSW Stockholders’ Representative concerning indemnification claims under Article VI or Article IX;

(v) perform all duties of a Stockholder Indemnified Party as set forth in Article IX, including, without limitation, prosecution of all Proceedings and the prosecution or conduct of the defense of any claims or actions described herein, and the compromise and settlement of any such claims or actions, including the facilitation of any payment required thereby;

(vi) give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received by or on behalf of the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders concerning any indemnification claim under Article VI or Article IX and to receive service of process on behalf of the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders in connection with any indemnification claim under Article VI or Article IX; and to take any other action concerning any indemnification claim under Article VI or Article IX and the transactions contemplated herein as the HSW Stockholders’ Representative in his or her sole and absolute discretion deems necessary or appropriate; and

(vii) hire counsel and other professionals and third parties on behalf of himself or herself and/or the Company Stockholders and the Optionholders to represent the interests of the HSW Stockholders’ Representative and/or the Company Stockholders and the Optionholders in connection with this Agreement, the agreements contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and incur and pay (as contemplated below) such other expenses as the HSW Stockholders’ Representative deems in his or her sole and absolute discretion necessary or appropriate to protect the interests of the Company Stockholders and the Optionholders and to carry out the terms thereof and hereof, with all costs, expenses, liabilities and other obligations being the joint and several responsibility of the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders.

(b) All decisions and acts by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall be binding upon all of the Company Stockholders and the Optionholders and no Company Stockholder or Optionholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(c) Discovery shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the HSW Stockholders’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, as fully binding upon such Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders.

(d) The approval and adoption by the Company Stockholders of the Merger and this Agreement includes the approval and acceptance of the terms of this Section 2.14, including, without limitation, the appointment of the HSW Stockholders’ Representative.

(e) The HSW Stockholders’ Representative may be replaced, and a successor HSW Stockholders’ Representative designated, at any time by a majority vote of the Former Company Stockholders, effective upon written notice to Discovery. If the HSW Stockholders’ Representative should be so removed, resign, die or otherwise become unable to serve as the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, another HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall be selected by such a vote of the Company Stockholders.

(f) The HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund shall be disbursed by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative in his sole and absolute discretion either (i) to pay (A) the HSW Stockholders’ Representative’s fees in accordance with the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Agreement and (B) fees and expenses incurred by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the performance of the HSW Stockholders’ Representatives’ duties and obligations and the exercise of the HSW Stockholders’ Representatives’ powers hereunder, as directed by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, or (ii) for distribution to the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders, in each case based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages; provided, that any amounts otherwise distributable to the holders of Unvested Company Options in respect of any portion of their Unvested Company Options as to which no Applicable Vesting Date has occurred will be paid to Discovery for distribution to the holders of such Unvested Company Options (or to Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders in respect of Closing Vested Option Shares and any Subsequently Vested

Option Shares, to the extent that any such amounts shall become Forfeited Amounts) in accordance with Section 2.11(k). To the extent the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund is depleted or unavailable at any time or, in the reasonable opinion of the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, is expected to be depleted or unavailable in the near future, the HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to deduct from amounts received by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders under this Agreement, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages, additional amounts (“Additional Funds”) that will be deposited into the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund to satisfy payment obligations in accordance with the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Agreement, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided that (i) with respect to each instance where Additional Funds are directed by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative to be deposited into the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund, to the extent that any such Additional Funds that are utilized in accordance with the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Agreement, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement are received by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative only from the Former Company Stockholders and holders of Vested Company Options, then to the extent that a holder of Unvested Company Options thereafter is entitled to receive a cash distribution from Discovery with respect to any Unvested Company Options that vest in accordance with their terms, Discovery will deliver to the HSW Stockholders’ Representative for deposit into the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund as Additional Funds a portion of such cash distribution equal to the Pro Rata Percentage of the Additional Funds attributable to such newly vested Unvested Company Options; (ii) any amounts deducted pursuant to this sentence shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, as having been distributed and paid to the holders of Company Stock and Optionholders (and any amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such deemed distribution under the Code or any other Legal Requirements shall be so deducted and withheld) and subsequently having been paid by such holders of Company Stock and Optionholders to the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund and (iii) any amounts remaining after such payments have been made by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall be distributed to the Former Company Stockholders and Optionholders as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

Date been increased by an amount equal to the taxable gain of the Company realized with respect to the receipt of the warrant to acquire additional HSWI Shares pursuant to the Intac Merger.

(ii) If, at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, any Discovery Indemnified Party makes a demand for the payment of a Section 5.18(c) Loss in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative disputes the

amount of such Section 5.18(c) Loss, the parties shall seek Final Resolution of such dispute. If, upon Final Resolution, the Discovery Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification in respect of such Section 5.18(c) Loss, Discovery shall have the right, in its sole discretion (and in addition to any other right Discovery may have pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Convex Merger Agreement, including the right to seek indemnification in respect of such Section 5.18(c) Loss pursuant to Article IX hereof or Article IX of the Convex Merger Agreement) to publicly or privately sell Discovery Settlement Shares for its own account (in one or more registered underwritten public offerings, in one or more private placements, upon the exercise of the Company’s demand or piggyback registration rights under the Amended HSWI Registration Rights Agreement and/or any other applicable registration rights agreement or otherwise) so to generate the Required Escrow Share Proceeds in respect of such Section 5.18(c) Loss. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the proceeds generated from the sale of the Discovery Settlement Shares for the Company’s own account shall not be deemed Net HSWI Proceeds but shall be used to satisfy the applicable Discovery Indemnified Party’s Section 5.18(c) Loss; provided that any such proceeds that exceed the Required Escrow Share Proceeds in respect of such Section 5.18(c) Loss shall be treated as cash sale proceeds from the sale of Subject HSWI Shares and shall be distributed as provided in Section 5.18(a) and (b), and (ii) if the proceeds generated from the sale of any Discovery Settlement Shares for the Company’s own account are insufficient to satisfy the applicable Discovery Indemnified Party’s Section 5.18(c) Loss in full, the Company shall have the right to seek indemnification in respect of any unpaid portion of such Section 5.18(c) Loss pursuant to Article IX hereof or Article IX of the Convex Merger Agreement or to sell additional Discovery Settlement Shares until such Section 5.18(c) Loss is satisfied in full. Between the date of the Final Resolution of a dispute regarding a Section 5.18(c) Loss in respect of which Discovery elects to exercise its right pursuant to this Section 5.18(c)(ii) and the Final Settlement, the Company shall not be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to publicly or privately sell, or continue to pursue any ongoing sales process with respect to, any Subject HSWI Shares as provided in Section 5.18(a).

(iii) If, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Discovery has not made a Discovery Share Escrow Demand, 1,000,000 of the Escrow Shares shall cease to constitute Escrow Shares. If, on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Discovery has not made a Discovery Share Escrow Demand, the remainder of the Escrow Shares shall cease to constitute Escrow Shares. If, at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Discovery has made a Discovery Share Escrow Demand, upon Final Settlement, the remaining number of the Escrow Shares that exceeds the Discovery Settlement Shares shall cease to constitute Escrow Shares. Any shares that cease to constitute Escrow Shares pursuant to this Section 5.18(c)(iii) shall again constitute Subject HSWI Shares.

Section 5.19. Accredited Investors.

(a) No later than by October 31, 2007, the Company shall provide Discovery for each Company Stockholder and holder of a Company Warrant for whom such information has not previously been provided with (i) information as to whether such Company Stockholder or holder of a Company Warrant is an “accredited” investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and (ii) if applicable, sufficient evidence to substantiate such status.

(b) At least seven Business Days prior to the Closing (or, with respect to any Company Option exercised after the date hereof but prior to such seventh Business Day prior to the Closing, promptly upon the exercise of such Company Option), the Company shall provide Discovery for each holder of Company Options for whom such information has not previously been provided with (i) information as to whether such holder of Company Options is an “accredited” investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and (ii) if applicable, sufficient evidence to substantiate such status.

ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1. Tax Indemnity. The Former Company Stockholders and the Optionholders shall, jointly and severally, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Discovery, the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees and their respective successors and assigns from and against 63.27% of (i) all Pre-Closing Taxes imposed on, related to or measured by income (except to the extent reflected in Estimated Pre-Closing Taxes), (ii) all Taxes of any member of any consolidated, combined or unitary federal, state, local or foreign group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or was a member on or before the Closing Date and for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is liable under Treasury Regulations §1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), (iii) all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date and (iv) all Taxes arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty made in Section 3.11, in each

of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment to any net operating loss or capital loss for any taxable period prior to the Closing shall not create an indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that such adjustment results in an actual requirement to pay Tax for such pre-Closing taxable period.

Section 6.2. Tax Returns.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, prepare, consistent with past practice to the extent permitted by law, and timely file all Tax Returns relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall timely provide Discovery with a draft of each such Tax Return that is an Income Tax Return. Such Income Tax Returns shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Discovery, as determined by Discovery in its sole discretion, when timely filed.

(b) Discovery shall prepare and file all Tax Returns relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries required to be filed after the Closing Date. Discovery shall timely provide to the HSW Stockholders’ Representative a draft of any Income Tax Return including Pre-Closing Taxes, but excluding any consolidated, combined or other unitary return that includes Discovery or any Subsidiary of Discovery (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries) (each such non-excluded return, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”) no later than twenty (20) days prior to the due date (including allowable extensions) of such Pre-Closing Tax Return. Within ten (10) days following delivery of such draft Pre-Closing Tax Return, the HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to object in writing to any item on any such draft Pre-Closing Tax Return affecting Pre-Closing Taxes. Unless such written notice of objection to such Pre-Closing Tax Return is delivered within such ten (10) day period, such Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be final and binding on the parties without further adjustments. If the HSW Stockholders’ Representative so objects and Discovery rejects any such objections, the parties shall resolve their dispute by presenting such dispute to an accounting firm of national reputation mutually agreeable to Discovery and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative (the “Tax Accountant”). The Tax Accountant will resolve the dispute in a fair and equitable manner (taking into account the next sentence of this Section 6.2(b)) within ten (10) days after the parties to such dispute have presented their arguments to the Tax Accountant, whose decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. To the extent any dispute relates to whether an election should or should not be made, the Tax Accountant shall resolve such dispute in the manner that maximizes, to the extent reasonably practicable and consistent with applicable law, the availability of any net operating losses or capital losses of the Company and its Subsidiaries attributable to any

period prior to the Closing Date for application under the provisions of Section 5.18(b)(vi). If the Tax Accountant does not resolve all differences between the parties with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Return at least five (5) days prior to the due date therefor, such Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Discovery and amended to reflect the Tax Accountant’s resolution and shall be final and binding on the parties without further adjustment. The fees and expenses of the Tax Accountant shall be borne equally by Discovery and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries other than a Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be exclusively within the control of Discovery.

Section 6.3. Audits and Other Proceedings. From and after the Closing Date, Discovery shall control the conduct of all audits or administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Tax liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. With respect to any audit or proceeding controlled by Discovery which could give rise to a claim for payment against the Former Company Stockholders and the Optionholders under Section 6.1, Discovery (i) will afford the HSW Stockholders’ Representative and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate at its own expense in the conduct of any such audit or proceeding and (ii) will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, accept any proposed adjustment or enter into any settlement or agreement in compromise which would result in a claim for payment against the Former Company Stockholders and the Optionholders pursuant to this Agreement without the written consent of the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 6.4. Transaction-Related Taxes. The Former Company Stockholders shall bear all sales, use, transfer, stamp, duties, recording and similar Taxes that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Company Transaction Taxes”). The HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall be responsible for determining the amount of such Taxes and preparing and filing any Tax Returns in connection therewith, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 6.5. Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Former Company Stockholders, Discovery and their respective Affiliates shall treat any and all payments under Sections 2.12 and 5.18 and Articles VI and IX as an adjustment to the purchase price for Tax purposes unless they are required to treat such payments otherwise by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 6.6. Cooperation. The Former Company Stockholders and Discovery shall cooperate, and the Former Company Stockholders and Discovery shall cause the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries to cooperate, with respect to (i) the

preparation and timely filing of all Tax Returns for which the other is responsible pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.4 and (ii) any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding referred to in Section 6.3. Such cooperation shall include providing all relevant information available to the Former Company Stockholders and Discovery, as the case may be, with respect to any such Tax Return or audit or proceeding and the execution of any Tax Return by the Company Stockholders.

Section 6.7. No Overlap. Sections 9.1, 9.2(c) and 9.5 shall apply, but Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) shall not apply, in respect of any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 6.1, and Section 9.4 shall not apply in respect of any audit or proceeding to which Section 6.3 applies. For further clarity, Taxes that are subject to the indemnification provisions of Section 6.1 shall not be treated as Losses that are indemnifiable under Article IX.

(b) No Discovery Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX with respect to any Specified Excluded Liability or breaches of representations and warranties (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Discovery Indemnified Parties’ Losses under this Agreement and under the Convex Merger Agreement exceeds $2,500,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable, subject to the proviso to Section 9.2(a), for 63.27% of all Losses, including 63.27% of the first $2,500,000 of Losses; provided, however, that any Losses relating to breaches of representations or warranties contained in Section 3.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 3.3 (Enforceability; Authority), Section 3.5 (Capitalization), Section 3.11 (Taxes), Section 3.21 (Brokers or Finders), Section 3.23 (Receivables) and Section 3.28 (Accredited Investors) will not be subject to the Threshold Amount, or (ii) for Losses in the aggregate in excess of the Holdback Amount or (iii) for Losses that are consequential, incidental, special or punitive or otherwise not direct Losses. Losses shall not include any decline in the trading price of the shares of capital stock of HSWI owned by the Company. Any Losses incurred as a result of any matter for which indemnification is required under this Article IX will be first satisfied by applying any associated reserves or allowances for such losses reflected in the calculation of the Final Net Debt Balance before such Losses are applied to the Threshold or otherwise recovered. In addition, the right of any Discovery Indemnified Party to be indemnified for or in respect of any claim under Section 3.23 (Receivables) shall be conditioned on Discovery’s and the Company’s compliance in all material respects with their obligations under Section 5.15 and, if any Discovery Indemnified Party has actually been indemnified in respect of any claim pursuant to Section 3.23 (Receivables) and subsequently collects the receivable that was subject to such indemnified claim, it shall transfer to the HSW Stockholders’ Representative (for payment to the Former Company Stockholders and payment to, or reservation for, the Optionholders, as the case may be, in each case less any amounts required by law to be withheld or deducted and in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages) the lesser of the amount it has subsequently collected in respect of such receivable and the amount for which Discovery received indemnification in respect of such receivable. For the avoidance of doubt, the HSW Stockholders’ Representative Escrow Fund and the Options Closing Consideration will not be available to satisfy claims of the Discovery Indemnified Parties under this Article IX or Article VI.

(c) For purposes of calculating Losses (but not determining whether a breach has occurred), including any amount payable pursuant to Section 6.1(iv), any limitation as to material, materiality, material adverse effect, or similar qualification contained in the representations and warranties (including the representations and warranties in Section 3.11) will be ignored; provided that, in the case of the first sentence of Section 3.10(c) only, such limitations or similar qualifications will be ignored both for purposes of calculating Losses and determining whether a breach has occurred.

109

Section 9.3. Indemnification by Discovery and the Surviving Corporation.

(a) Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Article IX, Discovery and the Surviving Corporation (the “Discovery Indemnifying Parties” and collectively with the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties, the “Indemnifying Parties”) agree that from and after the Closing, they shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Former Company Stockholders and the Optionholders and the HSW Stockholders’ Representative, their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, attorneys, accountants, agents, representatives and employees and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties” and collectively with the Discovery Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of, and shall reimburse the Stockholder Indemnified Parties for, any Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any of the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of third-party claims, claims between the parties hereto, or otherwise, directly or indirectly relating to, arising out of or resulting from: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Discovery or Merger Sub2 in this Agreement or any other certificate or document signed by an officer of Discovery or Merger Sub2 delivered or required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any breach of a covenant or obligation of Discovery or Merger Sub2 contained in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered or required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) No Stockholder Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX with respect to breaches of representations and warranties (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses of the Stockholder Indemnified Parties under this Agreement and the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties” (as defined in the Convex Merger Agreement) under the Convex Merger Agreement exceeds, in the aggregate, the Threshold Amount, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all Losses, including the first $2,500,000 of Losses, provided that, any Losses relating to breaches of representations or warranties contained in Section 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Sections 4.2(a) and (b) (Enforceability; Authority) and Section 4.3 (Brokers or Finders) will not be subject to the Threshold Amount or (ii) for Losses in the aggregate in excess of an amount equal to the Holdback Amount (provided that the limitation in this clause (ii) shall not apply to any claim arising out of any failure by Discovery to pay any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Article II of this Agreement) or (iii) for Losses that are consequential, incidental, special or punitive or otherwise not direct Losses.

110

Section 9.4. Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Upon any Indemnified Party’s receipt of notice of assertion of any claim or demand by a third party against an Indemnified Party for which an Indemnifying Party may have liability to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third-Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to timely give a Claim Notice shall not affect the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s defense of, or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to, such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by a Proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (i) the Third-Party Claim is a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to defend or is failing to defend in good faith the Third-Party Claim after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed or is failing, (iii) either the HSW Stockholders’ Representative and a Discovery Indemnified Party are both named parties to the Proceedings or Discovery or any of its Affiliates and any Stockholder Indemnified Party are both named parties to the Proceedings, and in each case the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (iv) the relief sought in respect of the Third-Party Claim is non-monetary relief (other than a general boilerplate request for such other and further relief as the court deems just and proper), or (v) it is reasonably likely that the Losses arising from such Third-Party Claim will exceed the amount such Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover as a result of the limitations set forth in this Article IX.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim and subject to Section 9.4(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing, at its sole cost and expense. In the event the Indemnified Party elects to participate in any such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any fees of counsel or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be

111

unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Losses caused by or arising out of any such settlement or compromise (and have the means to fund such settlement or compromise), (ii) such settlement or compromise shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant of a release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party (i) is not entitled to defend against a Third-Party Claim, (ii) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third-Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise or (iii) after assuming the defense of a Third-Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim within 10 days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense (with the Indemnifying Party being liable to the Indemnified Party for any reasonable fees of counsel and other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith that would otherwise constitute indemnifiable Losses under this Article IX); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third-Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party may have liability hereunder without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article IX: (i) both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of all material developments of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such other Person is not represented by its own counsel and (ii) the parties agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

Section 9.5. Payments. All amounts payable pursuant to this Article IX or Article VI shall be paid promptly following receipt from an Indemnified Party of proof reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnified Party’s right to payment, in an amount equal to the portion of the Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes the Loss, in which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party. Any amounts owing to the Indemnified Parties (i) in the case of a payment for which Former Company Stockholders

112

and Optionholders are responsible shall be paid from the HSW Escrow Fund, and only to the extent HSW Escrow Funds are available for such payment, provided that, (A) if the Convex Escrow Fund is not available for reimbursement of 36.73% of Losses, then payments of all amounts not available in the Convex Escrow Fund will be made from the HSW Escrow Fund and (B) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Discovery shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to seek payment of HSWI Share Liabilities in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.18(c) or from the HSW Escrow Fund, and (ii) in the case of a payment for which Discovery is responsible, shall be paid by Discovery to the HSW Stockholders’ Representative for payment to the Former Company Stockholders and payment to, or reservation for, the Optionholders, as the case may be, in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative in each case no later than three Business Days following any Final Resolution of such Loss and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor. Upon payment in full of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party, with the consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person (other than Discovery or any of its Affiliates); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have a right to be subrogated pursuant to this sentence upon payment of any judgment or settlement with respect to a Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party had a right to control (regardless of whether or not the Indemnifying Party chose to exercise such right).

Section 9.6. Exclusive Remedy. If the Closing occurs, except for equitable remedies, the remedies provided in this Article IX and Article VI constitute the sole and exclusive remedies between the parties for Losses or any other claims arising under this Agreement, including claims based upon the inaccuracy, untruth, incompleteness or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or based upon the failure to perform any covenant, agreement or undertaking contained in this Agreement. The parties agree that any set-off rights that Discovery Indemnified Parties or Stockholder Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, may have under common law, by statute, or otherwise are unconditionally waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the remedies of the Company and Discovery with respect to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the transmittal letters shall not be limited by this Agreement. Any claim by the Company Stockholders against the Company or Discovery pursuant to this Agreement must be brought by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative.

Section 10.4. Governing Law. This Agreement and the agreements entered into in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will be governed in all respects, including but not limited to, as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws (to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

Section 10.5. Enforcement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or elsewhere, the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Maryland, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, wherever located, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Maryland state court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Maryland, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of

115

the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Maryland state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (A) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any such court, and (B) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 10.6. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE

116

IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.6.

Section 10.7. Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (i) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party, (ii) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given and (iii) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

Section 10.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Voting Agreement supersede all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter (except the Confidentiality Agreements, which shall remain in full force and effect as provided for therein) and constitute (along with other agreements or documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. Neither party hereto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, representatives or agents, has made or is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement (as qualified by the Company Disclosure Schedules), and none of the parties hereto has relied or is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by another party hereto or such other party’s Affiliates, representatives or agents (except for the representations and warranties set forth herein).

Section 10.9. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto (it being understood that the execution of an amendment by the HSW Stockholders’ Representative shall constitute execution by all of the Former Company Stockholders to the extent permitted by law, provided that (i) both (A) the consent of Persons holding, as of the applicable record date for such amendment or modification, not less than a majority in interest of the

117

outstanding shares of Company Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, and (B) the consent of Persons other than Convex, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of his Affiliates holding, as of the applicable record date for such amendment or modification, not less than a majority in interest of the outstanding shares of Company Stock entitled to vote thereon held by all Persons other than Convex, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of his Affiliates as of such date, voting together as a single class, will be required for any amendment that reduces the Base Aggregate Merger Consideration or materially and adversely affects the Company Stockholders and (ii) the consent of the Convex Stockholders’ Representative will be required for any amendment that adversely affects the Company Stockholders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Effective Time, the provisions of Section 5.18 may be amended with the written consent of Discovery, the Surviving Corporation, the HSW Stockholders’ Representative and the Convex Stockholders’ Representative.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 10.10.

Section 10.11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Section 10.12. Construction. The headings of Articles and Sections and the table of contents in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation.

Section 10.13. Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes.
