If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver the NAV Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, and the True-Up Net Asset Value is less than the Estimated Closing Net Asset Value, the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Stockholders’ Representative and the Buyer to release the difference to the Buyer. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the NAV Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, during the 30 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to mutually agree upon a Closing Net Asset Value. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to so agree, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to an independent certified public accountant mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Independent Expert”). The parties shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this Agreement and to determine solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the True-Up Net Asset Value requires adjustment to arrive at a correct Closing Net Asset Value. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall make available to the Independent Expert, and to each other, all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested, and shall provide to the Independent Expert such written and oral submissions and arguments as the Independent Expert may reasonably request. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative a report which sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value provided that in no event shall the Closing Net Asset Value as determined by the Independent Expert be less than Buyer’s calculation of the True-Up Net Asset Value, nor more than the Stockholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value set forth in the NAV Notice of Objection. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be shared equally by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative provided, however, that (i) if the Independent Expert determines that the Closing Net Asset Value varies from the True-Up Net Asset Value by greater than 5% , the Buyer shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Expert in full, (ii) if the Independent Expert determines that the Closing Net Asset Value varies from the True-Up Net Asset Value by less than 5%, the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Expert in full; and (iii) if the Independent Expert determines that the Closing Net Asset Value varies from the True-Up Net Asset Value by exactly 5%, the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall equally share the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Expert in full.

(e) If under this Section 2.7 the Closing Net Asset Value is finally determined to be less than the Estimated Closing Net Asset Value, the Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative shall immediately direct the Escrow Agent to deliver the difference to Buyer.

2.8 Escrow, Holdback and Release of Escrow.

(a) The Buyer and the Stockholders agree to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent the Escrow Agreement as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Account Instruction Letter”) in relation to the establishment and dealings of the Escrow Account. Simultaneous with Closing, Buyer

agrees to deposit with the Escrow Agent, under and subject to the terms of the Escrow Account Instruction Letter and this Agreement, the Holdback Consideration which shall be the cash sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (“Holdback Consideration”), which shall be the initial Escrow Sum.

(b) The Holdback Consideration shall be held by the Escrow Agent for the purpose and to the extent and satisfaction of any loss arising during the Holdback Period in respect of the amount of any claim by the Buyer under this Agreement: (i) for breaches of, or inaccuracies in, the representations and warranties given by the Company and/or the Stockholders herein or the nonfulfillment of, or failure to perform, any covenant or agreement on the part of the Stockholders and/or the Company contained in this Agreement (including without limitation any breaches of any of the representations and warranties in Article III and/or Section 2.9 and any covenants or agreements given under Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.9, 6.2, 6.6 and/or 6.8 hereof); and/ or (ii) pursuant to the indemnifications granted under Article IX; and/or (iii) pursuant to Sections 2.7(d), 2.9, 2.10 and/or 2.11 hereof (a “Claim”).

(c) At any time during the Holdback Period, the Buyer may forward to the Stockholders’ Representative a notice of a Claim (“Claim Notice”) which sets forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of the Claim (“Amount Claimed”) and includes any relevant underlying documentation which, in the Buyer’s opinion, is required for the Stockholders’ Representative to understand and review the Buyer’s Claim. Upon receipt from Buyer, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have 21 days to review the Claim Notice (the “Claim Review Period”). If the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with the Amount Claimed, the Stockholders’ Representative may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Buyer (the “Claim Notice of Objection”), which sets forth the Stockholders’ Representative’s objection to the Amount Claimed. Any Claim Notice of Objection shall specify those items and amounts with which the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees and detailed reasons for such disagreement. If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver a Claim Notice of Objection within the Review Period, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Stockholders shall be deemed to have accepted the Claim and the Amount Claimed shall be final, conclusive and binding and the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative to release to the Buyer the Amount Claimed. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a Claim Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Claim Review Period, and such Claim Notice of Objection shows that only a proportion of the Amount Claimed is disputed, then the balance of the Amount Claimed shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholders and the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Buyer and the Stockholders to release to the Buyer such proportion of the Amount Claimed. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall, during the 30 days following delivery of a Claim Notice of Objection or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to agree upon the disputed Amount Claimed. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to resolve their disagreements, either shall be entitled to refer the matter to the American Arbitration Association of San Francisco, California for determination (“AAA”), with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA governing the arbitration, and if following either agreement between the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative or a determination by the AAA, the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release the agreed or determined Amount Claimed to the Buyer. In the event that either the Stockholders’ Representative or the Buyer fails to give direction to the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Section, for whatever reason, the other may seek to obtain an order from a court of competent jurisdiction that such instructions are given or treated as given.

(d) Each of the Buyer and the Stockholders shall ensure, during such period of time as the Escrow Agent is holding any Escrow Sum, that all of its respective rights to such Escrow Sum remain free from any Encumbrance (other than that such Escrow Sums are held in escrow), set off or counterclaim.

(e) Interest accruing from time to time on the Escrow Sum shall be added to the money standing to the credit of the Escrow Account. Any proportion of interest shall be owned by and attributed to the party or parties who are ultimately adjudged in accordance with this Section to be the rightful owner of the respective amounts so held in escrow.

(f) The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholders, on the other hand, shall equally pay the Escrow Agent’s Fees.

(g) The Escrow Agent may withdraw from the Escrow Account an amount equal to any tax payable in respect of the interest earned in respect of the Escrow Sum for which it is or may become liable.

(h) At the end of the Holdback Period, Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to each Stockholder (by wire transfer) his pro-rata portion of the entire then-remaining Escrow Sum in cash; provided, however, that if at the end of the Holdback Period a Claim is pending, Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to withhold from such payment, and retain in the Escrow Account, the Amount Claimed with respect to such Claim until such Claim is finally resolved, and upon such final resolution Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay such withheld amount to Buyer and the Stockholders in accordance with such final resolution.

2.9 Transaction Incentives. Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that all amounts (if any) payable, or determined by the Stockholders to be paid, to current employees of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries by way of bonuses, commissions, and/or other incentives associated with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and/or to be paid in recognition of service to the Company (“Transaction Incentives”) are to be deducted from the Closing Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(v). Schedule 2.9 sets forth all Transaction Incentives. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.9, each Stockholder represents and warrants for the benefit of the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations to any of its current employees, contractors, officers or directors for any bonus, commission, and/or similar incentive associated with or relating to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or in recognition of their service to the Company.

2.10 Receivables. In the event that any Net Receivables contained in the Closing Balance Sheet (“Company Balance Sheet Net Receivables”) are not actually received by the Company within one hundred and twenty (120) days following Closing despite reasonable collection diligence by Buyer, the difference between the Company Balance Sheet Net Receivables and the Net Receivables actually received by the Company shall be released to the Buyer on a dollar-for-dollar basis from the Holdback Consideration and the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Stockholders’ Representative and the Buyer accordingly. In the event that any such Company Balance Sheet Net Receivables are actually received by the Company after the one hundred and twenty (120) days following Closing but prior to one hundred and eighty (180) days following Closing (“Receivables Return Period”), such Company Balance Sheet Net Receivables received during the Receivables Return Period, shall be set off by the Buyer and used as a credit in favor of the Buyer against any current or future Claim it has against the Escrow Amount or in the event of no current or future Claim, returned to the Escrow Agent and added back to the Escrow Sum.

2.11 Severances.

(a) If the employment of any of the employees of the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated on or prior to the expiration of ninety (90) days following Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to immediately receive from the Holdback Consideration any severance, notice and/or other similar payment required to be paid to such employee under any agreement entered into prior to Closing which is over and above minimum statutory obligations (if any) and the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Stockholders’ Representative and the Buyer accordingly.

(b) If the employment of the current chief financial officer, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, is terminated on or prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months following Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to receive from the Holdback Consideration the entire severance, notice and/or other similar payment made (under any contract entered into by the Company prior to the Closing Date) to ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ that is not otherwise fully provided for as an accrual in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, and the Escrow Agent shall be immediately directed by the Stockholders’ Representative and the Buyer accordingly.

(c) The Stockholders agree to terminate their employment by the Company effective upon the Closing. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall pay from its cash reserves to the Stockholders their outstanding employee expenses that are reasonable and substantiated, and accrued but unpaid paid time off as the Company would ordinarily be legally required to pay to an employee who resigns his employment. Following the Closing, the Stockholders jointly and severally warrant and represent that none of the Company, any Subsidiary, the Buyer, the Merger Subsidiary or the Surviving Company shall have any obligation whatsoever in relation to any severance, redundancy, notice or other payments to the Stockholders on account of their termination.

2.12 No Duplication of Adjustment or Recovery. Wherever in this Agreement a single fact or circumstance shall form two or more grounds for a claim against or adjustment of any sum otherwise payable to the Stockholders, only one such claim or adjustment may be asserted.

(d) The Buyer agrees to use its reasonable endeavors to retain all records with respect to any actions or matters set forth on Schedule 3.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Disclosed Claims”) until such Disclosed Claims are resolved and allow the Stockholders’ Representative reasonable access during normal working offices upon reasonable notice to view (and copy, at the

Stockholders’ Representative’s cost) such records. Further, each of the parties hereto agree to use their reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to assist and cooperate with each other party in connection with the defense of any suits, claims, action, investigation or proceedings relating to the Disclosed Claims or any other matter requiring any party to indemnify (or otherwise defend) another party (at the sole cost and expense of the Stockholders).

(v) use a name which is similar to the present name of the Company and/or any Subsidiary or use any of the Company’s Intellectual Property.

(b) If any provision or sub-provision contained in this Section shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section, but this Section shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal

or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions and shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable law. Each Stockholder acknowledges that the Buyer would be irreparably harmed by any breach of this Section and that there would be no adequate remedy at law or in damages to compensate the Buyer for any such breach. Each Stockholder agrees that the Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief requiring specific performance by the Stockholders of this Section.

(c) Each Stockholder acknowledges that each of the restraints in this Section 6.9 is reasonable in its extent (as to duration and restrained conduct) having regard to the interests of each party to this Agreement and goes not further than is reasonably necessary to protect the Buyer in respect of the goodwill of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.3(a), 3.4, 3.5, 3.7 and 3.12 and the indemnifications provided in sub-Sections 9.2(a)(iii)(iv) (v) and/or (vi) will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of the Buyer, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the claim which seeks recovery of such Damages and provided, further, that claims of fraud, willful misrepresentation, willful misconduct or any criminal activity shall expire only upon expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the “Release Date”).

The Stockholders’ aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the Holdback Consideration (the “Holdback Liability Cap”) provided, however, that the Holdback Liability Cap shall not apply to suits, actions or claims for any breach of any representation or warranty contained

in Sections 3.3(a), 3.4, 3.5, 3.7 or 3.12 and/or arising from the indemnifications provided for in sub-Sections 9.2(a)(iii)(iv) (v)(vi) and/or (vii).

(c) Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification remedies provided in this Article IX (in addition to any rights against the Holdback Consideration set forth in Section 2.8) shall constitute the exclusive remedy of the Buyer after Closing for any claim in connection with this Agreement or any other transaction documents, including any claim for any Damages resulting from a breach by Company or Stockholders of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(a) Any Person who desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Article IX (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice in reasonable detail (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the party responsible or alleged to be responsible for indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitor”) promptly upon the Indemnified Party’s discovery of the matter giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim and prior to the end of any applicable Claims Period. If the matter to which a claim relates shall not have been resolved as of the date of the Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall estimate the amount of the claim in the Indemnification Claim Notice. Each Indemnitor to which an Indemnification Claim Notice is given shall respond to any Indemnified Party that has given an Indemnification Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”) within thirty (30) days (the “Response Period”) after the date that the Indemnification Claim Notice is given. Any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the Indemnitor giving the Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Indemnification Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, such Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the claim described in the related Indemnification Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor elects not to dispute a claim described in an Indemnification Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response in accordance with the terms hereof or otherwise, then the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor.

(b) If, during the Response Period, an Indemnified Party receives a Claim Response from the Indemnitor, then for a period of thirty (30) days (the “Resolution Period”) after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Claim Response, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall endeavor to resolve any dispute arising therefrom. If such dispute is resolved by the parties during the Resolution Period, the amount that the parties have specified in writing as the amount to be paid by the Indemnitor, if any, as settlement for such dispute shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor. If the parties are unable agree upon a resolution to such dispute prior to the expiration of the Resolution Period (or any extension thereto to which the Indemnitor and Indemnified Party agree in writing), the issue shall be presented to the American Arbitration Association in San Francisco, California (the “AAA”) for determination. The arbitration shall be before a panel of three arbitrators, one selected by Buyer, one selected by the Stockholders’ Representative and one selected by the two selected arbitrators, and the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA shall govern such arbitration. The written determination of the AAA shall be binding upon the parties and not subject to any appeal.

9.5 Third-Party Claims. An Indemnified Party that desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Article IX with respect to any actions, suits or other administrative or judicial proceedings (each, an “Action”) that may be instituted by a third party shall give each Indemnitor notice after having Knowledge of such Action, of a third party’s institution of such Action, and copies of all documents and information relating to such Action after receipt thereof. After such notice, any Indemnitor may, at its sole option and expense, participate in such Action or assume the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice. The Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written consent of the Indemnitor. Any failure to give notice under this Section 9.5 shall not bar an Indemnified Party’s right to claim indemnification under this Article IX, except to the extent that an Indemnitor shall have been harmed by such failure. If a firm written offer is made to settle any such Action, the Indemnitor proposes to accept such settlement and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (i) the Indemnitor shall be excused from, and the Indemnified Party shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such Action, and (ii) provided that only monetary damages may be recovered in such Action (and the Indemnified Party is not subject to any injunctive relief, equitable or other non-monetary relief in connection with such Action), the maximum liability of the Indemnitor relating to such Action shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the actual monetary amount thereafter recovered from the Indemnified Party on such Action is greater. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IX, the Stockholders jointly and severally covenant and agree, at its expense, to assume and control the defense of any action or matter set forth on Schedule 3.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. Each reference herein to a law, statute, regulation, document or agreement will be deemed in each case to include all amendments thereto.

10.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this

Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.5 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and the Company Disclosure Letter, (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and (ii) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder unless specifically provided otherwise herein. The express terms of this Agreement control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

10.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Buyer may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer without the Company’s prior consent; provided, however, that Buyer shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

10.7 Amendment; Extension; Waiver. Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the parties hereto may amend this Agreement at any time pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. At any time, either Buyer or the Company may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party 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) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision in this Agreement.

10.8 No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between any of the parties hereto. No party is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an agent, employee or legal representative of any other party. No party will have the power to control the activities and operations of any other, and their status is, and at all times will continue to be, that of independent contractors with respect to each other. No party will have any power or authority to bind or commit any other party. No party will hold itself out as having any authority or relationship in contravention of this Section 10.8.

10.9 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile and upon such delivery the facsimile signature will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been delivered to the other parties.
