(ii) If, and to the extent that the Actual Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Aggregate Base Consideration shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis to such extent to account therefor and if, and to the extent that the Actual Closing Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Aggregate Base Consideration shall be increased on a dollar for dollar basis to such extent to account therefor; provided, however, that no increase or decrease to the Aggregate Base Consideration shall be made with respect to any differences between the Adjusted Working Capital and Estimated Closing Working Capital attributable to an accounting reclassification (in either case, a “Working Capital Adjustment”).

(iii) In the event a Working Capital Adjustment reduces the Aggregate Base Consideration, Target Shareholders shall pay to Acquiror an amount equal to such Working Capital Adjustment by wire transfer within three business days after the date on which the Working Capital Adjustment is finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6(e); provided, however, that Acquiror shall have the option, in its sole discretion, of recouping from the Escrow Amount all or any part of the amount owed by the Target Shareholders pursuant to such Working Capital Adjustment. In the event a Working Capital Adjustment increases the Aggregate Base Consideration, Acquiror shall pay to each Target Shareholder an amount per each share of Target Common Stock held by such Target Shareholder (as reflected on the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet) immediately prior to the Effective Time equal to the quotient, rounded down to the nearest cent, obtained by dividing (x) the amount of such Working Capital Adjustment by (y) the Total Common Shares. Such amounts shall be paid by wire transfer pursuant to the respective Target Shareholder wire instructions set forth on the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet within three business days following the final determination of such Working Capital Adjustment in accordance with this Section 1.6(e).

(iv) If the Shareholder Representative disagrees with Acquiror’s Working Capital Adjustment calculation detailed in the Calculation Notice, the Shareholder Representative may, within 30 days after delivery of the Calculation Notice, deliver a notice to Acquiror disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth the Shareholder Representative’s calculation (a “Notice of Disagreement”). The Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which the Shareholder Representative disagrees, the reasons for such disagreement and the Working Capital Adjustment as calculated by the Shareholder Representative. If the Shareholder Representative fails to deliver a Notice of Disagreement by the expiration of such 30-day period, the Shareholder Representative shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to Acquiror’s calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment on behalf of the Shareholders.

(v) If the Shareholder Representative delivers a Notice of Disagreement in accordance with Section 1.6(e)(iv), Acquiror and the Shareholder Representative shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, use diligent good faith efforts to reach a written agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Working Capital Adjustment. If they are unable to resolve the dispute during such 30 day period, then the dispute shall be submitted to an independent, nationally recognized United States accounting firm (which need not be one of the “big four” accounting firms, but shall not be Ernst & Young LLP or Acquiror’s then-current independent auditor) selected in writing by Acquiror, and reasonably acceptable Shareholder Representative, which firm shall select one of its partners (the “Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator”) to promptly review this Agreement, the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet in accordance with Section 1.6(e)(i) and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of making the Working Capital Adjustment calculation, which amount shall be within the bounds of the amounts asserted by Acquiror in the Calculation Notice and by the Shareholder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement (for the purpose of clarity, the Working Capital Adjustment

Arbitrator shall not be bound when determining the Working Capital Adjustment calculation by any Closing determination of Estimated Closing Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.6(d)(ii)). Acquiror and Shareholder Representative shall enter into any engagement letter reasonably required by the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator to perform his or her services hereunder. A judgment of the determination made by the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator pursuant to this paragraph may be entered into and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereover. The Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative and Acquiror, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth such calculation and the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet and Working Capital Adjustment shall be revised accordingly. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. The cost of such review and report shall be shared by the Target Shareholders (by appropriate withdrawal from the Escrow Amount) and Acquiror on a pro rata basis based on (i) the difference between the Working Capital Adjustment determined by the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator and the applicable party’s calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment as reflected in the Calculation Notice or the Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, (ii) divided by the difference between the calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment as reflected in the Calculation Notice and the Notice of Disagreement.

(vi) Solely for purposes of determining the Working Capital Adjustment and only after executing an appropriate Nondisclosure Agreement (in the form provided by Acquiror), the Shareholder Representative (including by a representative of the Shareholder Representative reasonably acceptable to Acquiror) may examine the invoices and other underlying documents supporting any line items of the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that such examination shall not include any working papers of Acquiror’s auditors or legal counsel, shall be restricted to the scope specified above and solely for the purpose of confirming that the Calculation Notice fairly represents the Working Capital Adjustment and shall be performed during the Surviving Corporation’s normal business hours at the Surviving Corporation’s or Acquiror’s facilities. Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation shall make available to the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator during the Surviving Corporation’s normal business hours and at the Surviving Corporation’s or Acquiror’s facilities and on terms that are mutually agreed upon by Acquiror and the Working Capital Adjustment Arbitrator, solely for purposes of determining the Working Capital Adjustment, underlying documents supporting any line items of the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet.

(f) Earn-Out.

(i) Earn-Out Measurement. All determinations of Target Revenues, Target Gross Margin, Target Operating Income and Target Gross Profit (collectively, “Target Performance Metrics”) shall be determined by Acquiror using its books and records in accordance with GAAP applied in the same manner, and using the same accounting policies and methodologies, as such principles are applied in the preparation of the financial statements of Acquiror in its quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, as filed by Acquiror with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to the applicable Target Earn-Out Period, with adjustment to determine the Target Gross Margin, Target Operating Income and Target Gross Profit for such Target Earn-Out Period in a manner consistent with Acquiror’s accounting policies and methodologies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of adjustments to financial statements included in any periodic or current report filed by Acquiror pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), from the date hereof through the filing of Acquiror’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter in which the applicable Target Earn-Out Period ends, whether such adjustments are due to restatement, changes in accounting principles required under GAAP or pursuant to SEC comment or disclosure or accounting requirement or regulation, or otherwise that result in adjustments to the Target Performance Metrics for any period ending on or prior to end of such Target Earn-Out Period, the Target Performance Metrics derived from such revised and adjusted financial statements shall control in determining Target Performance Metrics for the applicable Target Earn-Out

Period. Subject to the foregoing, the Target Performance Metrics shall reflect and be net of (without duplication) all (i) returns of Target Products and authorizations of returns of the Target Products whether or not physically received back from customer; (ii) warranty claims; (iii) product liability claims; (iv) uncollectible accounts and (v) other adjustments that are required under GAAP, including adjustments prescribed or advisable pursuant to SEC comment, disclosure or accounting requirements, pronouncements or regulations. Target Performance Metrics shall eliminate inter-company transactions among Acquiror and its subsidiaries such that Target Performance Metrics shall be based only on transactions between Acquiror (as a consolidated entity) and any third party. Whenever Target Products are sold in combination with other products of Acquiror, the amount attributable to the Target Performance Metrics shall be allocated by Acquiror in its reasonable discretion in a fair and equitable manner consistent with Acquiror’s standard adopted practices.

(ii) Reporting. No later than the 30th day following the original due date (or the actual filing of such Quarterly Report in the event the filing is delayed as a result of a matter attributable to the operation of the Target or the preparation and finalization of Acquiror’s consolidated financial statements included in such Quarterly Report) of Acquiror’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter in which the applicable Earn-Out Period ends, Acquiror shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholder Representative the calculations of Target Revenues, Target Gross Margin, Target Gross Profit and the resulting Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration and Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Period (the “Acquiror Report”). After receipt of such calculations from Acquiror, the Shareholder Representative shall have the right, at the Shareholder Representative’s expense and upon not less than 10 days prior notice to Acquiror, to (a) meet with Acquiror to discuss Acquiror’s calculations, and (b) have reasonable access during normal business hours to inspect the records, working papers, schedules and other documentation used or prepared by Acquiror in connection with the preparation of such calculations, in any such case solely for the purpose of verifying such calculations. Unless the Shareholder Representative gives notice of its disagreement (a “Dispute Notice”) with Acquiror’s calculations of such Target Revenues, Target Gross Margin, Target Operating Income and Target Gross Profit and the resulting Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration or Earn-Out Payment, as applicable, detailing the amount, nature and detailed basis of such dispute within 20 days after the delivery of the Acquiror Report, Acquiror’s calculations shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(iii) Dispute Resolution. Upon delivery of the Dispute Notice, Acquiror and the Shareholder Representative shall first use diligent good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If they are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, then the dispute shall be submitted to an independent, nationally recognized United States accounting firm (which need not be one of the “big four” accounting firms, but shall not be Ernst & Young LLP or Acquiror’s then-current independent auditor) selected in writing by Acquiror, which firm shall select one of its partners (the “Earn-Out Arbitrator”) to determine matters in dispute. Acquiror and the Shareholder Representative shall instruct the Earn-Out Arbitrator to make a decision as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 30 days after acceptance of such appointment. Acquiror and the Shareholder Representative shall enter into any engagement letter reasonably required by the Earn-Out Arbitrator to perform the Earn-Out Arbitrator’s services hereunder. A determination by the Earn-Out Arbitrator as to the resolution of any dispute (including all procedural matters) shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. A judgment of the determination made by the Earn-Out Arbitrator pursuant to this paragraph may be entered into and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereover. The Shareholder Representative and Acquiror shall each bear their own fees and expenses in connection with any such dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration for the applicable Earn-Out Period determined pursuant to Acquiror’s calculations shall be less than 95% of the Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration finally determined by the Earn-Out Arbitrator, the fees and expenses of the Earn-Out Arbitrator shall be paid by Acquiror.

(iv) Form of Earn-Out Payment.

(A) With respect to each Earn-Out Period, each Earn-Out Payment shall be made by cash payment, unless the Shareholder Representative elects, on behalf of the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders (which election shall apply and bind all Target Eligible Shareholders), for all or any portion of the Earn-Out Payment to be paid in the form of Acquiror Common Stock and the Shareholder Representative provides written notice of such election to Acquiror at least 15 business days prior to the applicable Distribution Date. Such written notice shall set forth the percentage of the Earn-Out Payment to be paid in cash and the percentage of Earn-Out Payment to be paid in Acquiror Common Stock and shall be signed by the Shareholder Representative. The number of shares of Acquior Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such election shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.6(f)(iv)(B) below. For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholder Representative may elect, on behalf of the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders and subject to the notice requirements and share calculations set forth herein, to require Acquiror to make an Earn-Out Payment in all cash, all Acquiror Common Stock or any combination of cash and Acquiror Common Stock.

(B) Upon such election with respect to an Earn-Out Payment, the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued to each Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholder shall be determined by dividing (a) the dollar amount of the Earn-Out Payment to be paid in Acquiror Common Stock to such Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholder by (b) the Acquiror Common Stock Price. For the purposes of such calculation, all fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock that an Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive shall be aggregated and if a fractional share results from such aggregation, the number of shares otherwise issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share, with one half share or more being rounded up.

(C) The shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued pursuant to any Earn-Out Payment shall not have been registered and shall be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws, and under such laws such shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only in certain limited circumstances. Each certificate evidencing shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued pursuant to any Earn-Out Payment shall bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

as well as any other legends required by state securities laws.

(v) Earn-Out Distributions.

(A) If the Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration for an Earn-Out Period is greater than $0, then Acquiror shall send the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Period to the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders (subject to the terms hereof, including Article IX hereof) within 30 business days following the occurrence of both: (A) the original due date from the filing of Acquiror’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter in which the applicable Earn-Out Period ends (or the actual filing of such Quarterly Report in the event the filing is delayed as a result of a matter attributable to the

operation of the Target or the preparation and finalization of Acquiror’s consolidated financial statements included in such Quarterly Report) and (B) the earlier of (i) the expiration of the time period during which the Shareholder Representative may deliver the Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 1.6(f)(ii) without the delivery of any such Dispute Notice, (ii) the written and unconditional waiver by the Shareholder Representative of the time period during which the Shareholder Representative may deliver the Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 1.6(f)(ii) or (iii) the resolution of all disputes pursuant to Section 1.6(f)(iii). The date 30 business days following the occurrence of both the events in described in clause (A) and (B) of the preceding sentence of this Section 1.6(f)(v) is referred to herein as the “Required Earn-Out Payment Date”. The date on which all Earn-Out Payments have been sent to the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders in connection with the First Earn-Out Period is referred to herein as the “First Distribution Date” and the date on which all Earn-Out Payments have been sent to the Target Shareholders in connection the Second Earn-Out Period is referred to herein as the “Second Distribution Date” and together with the First Distribution Date, each a “Distribution Date”.

(B) The total Earn-Out Payments shall be reduced by any amounts not paid to individual Target Shareholders because such Target Shareholders are not Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders on the Distribution Date. The Earn-Out Payments shall be delivered to the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders in accordance with the terms of Section 1.8(b).

(C) In the event Acquiror has not sent an Earn-Out Payment to a Target Shareholder by the Required Earn-Out Payment Date for such Earn-Out Payment and such payment is not in dispute between the parties, the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 1 of the Non-Competition and Confidentiality Agreement between such Target Shareholder and Acquiror entered into pursuant to Section 7.2(g)(x) hereof shall, without further act or deed, be suspended, effective as of the applicable Required Earn-Out Payment Date, until the date such Earn-Out Payment is sent by Acquiror to such Target Shareholder (as of which date, the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Section 1 of such Non-Competition and Confidentiality Agreement shall resume effectiveness) and provided that all other provisions of such Non-Competition and Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof.

(vi) Earn-Out Standard. Acquiror shall act in good faith and not take any action which has as its purpose to materially and adversely prevent, delay, reduce or otherwise hinder payment of the Earn-Out Payments. Acquiror shall be free to operate the business in the manner Acquiror deems to be in the interest of Acquiror and Acquiror’s stockholders. Target, the Target Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative acknowledges that this provision is the sole standard by which Acquiror’s actions shall be judged with respect to the Earn-Out Payments.

(vii) Earn-Out Payment Rights Not Transferable. No Target Shareholder may sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of his, her or its right to receive the Earn-Out Payment and any transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void and shall not be recognized by Acquiror, Merger Sub, Target or the Surviving Corporation.

(viii) Imputed Interest. In the event any Earn-Out Payment is required to be made to the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof, Acquiror shall determine and report to the appropriate tax authorities the amount of interest allocable to such payment (as provided by Section 483 of the Code and related Section 1.483-4 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), if any, with such interest amount being referred to herein as the “Imputed Interest Amount.” The parties acknowledge and agree that no separate cash payment will be made by Acquiror with respect to an Imputed Interest Amount and, as a consequence, a portion of any Earn-Out Payment (the “Interest Payment”) would be treated as being paid to the Earn-Out Eligible

Target Shareholders in satisfaction of the Imputed Interest Amount. Acquiror shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any tax obligations with respect to any Imputed Interest Amount.

(ix) Earn-Out Payments Upon Target Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event Acquiror ceases to have a direct or indirect controlling interest in the equity securities of the Surviving Corporation or sells or transfers all or substantially all of the assets of the Surviving Corporation to a third party in which Acquiror does not have a direct or indirect controlling interest in the equity securities of such third party (each, a “Target Sale”) prior to the expiration of the First Earn-Out Period, then, and in such event, the maximum Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration for the First Earn-Out Period ($3,500,000) shall be deemed earned and shall be paid by Acquiror to the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders within five (5) business days following the closing of such Target Sale. If a Target Sale occurs after the expiration of the First Earn-Out Period but prior to expiration of the Second Earn-Out Period, then, and in such event, the maximum Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration for the Second Earn-Out Period ($3,500,000) shall be deemed earned and shall be paid by Acquiror to the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders within five (5) business days following the closing of such Target Sale. For the purposes of determining the Earn-Out Eligible Target Shareholders for any Earn-Out Payment deemed earned upon a Target Sale, the closing of the Target Sale shall be deemed the applicable Distribution Date.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Acquiror shall be entitled to withhold from any payments otherwise called for hereunder, any amount required by law to be withheld with respect to any state, federal and foreign taxes in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h) Satisfaction of Target Debt.

(i) Promissory Notes. In satisfaction of all obligations of Target under those promissory notes of Target set forth on Schedule 1.6(h) hereto (the “Promissory Notes”), Acquiror shall pay to the respective holders of the Promissory Notes the respective amounts set forth on Schedule 1.6(h), which amounts represent the outstanding principal amounts, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and associated penalties, if any, of the Promissory Notes. Acquiror’s payments of the Promissory Notes are referred to herein as the “Target Promissory Note Payments.”

(ii) Line of Credit. In satisfaction of all obligations of Target under that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Accounts Receivable and Inventory Loan Agreement by and between Target and City National Bank, as amended and including all instruments issued thereunder (the “Line of Credit”), Acquiror shall pay to City National Bank at Closing the amount (not to exceed $4,336,493, the outstanding balance as of August 20, 2007, plus any additional indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Line of Credit between the date hereof and Closing in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice) necessary to repay and satisfy all of the obligations of Target under the Line of Credit, subject to the termination of the Line of Credit upon receipt of such payment and the release of all security interests or Liens (as defined below) in the Target’s assets arising thereunder. Acquiror’s payment of the Line of Credit is referred to herein as the “Target Line of Credit Payment” and together with the Target Promissory Note Payments as the “Target Debt Payments.” The amount, if any, by which the Target Debt Payments exceeds $5.3 million as reflected on Target’s balance sheet at and as of December 31, 2006 shall be referred to herein as the “Excess Target Debt”.

(i) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Acquiror-Owned Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, Target or the Target Shareholders, each share of Target Common Stock, if any, owned by Acquiror or Target, or any subsidiary of Acquiror or Target, immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(j) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, Target or the Target Shareholders, each share of Common Stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.7 Dissenting Shares. “Dissenting Shares” shall mean any shares of Target Common Stock in respect of which appraisal rights have not effectively been waived, withdrawn or lost in accordance with California Law. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary other than the following provisions of this Section 1.7, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Payments but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to California Law. Target shall give Acquiror prompt notice of any written objections or demands for payment of the fair value of shares, withdrawals of such objections or demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to California Law and received by Target. Acquiror shall be entitled to direct and participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to objections or demands for appraisal. Target agrees that, except with the written consent of Acquiror, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of California Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for shares of Target Common Stock shall receive payment therefor (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions or as otherwise agreed by Acquiror) from the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then such shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Payments in respect of such shares had such shares never been Dissenting Shares (but subject to all the terms hereof).

1.8 Surrender of Certificates; Delivery of Merger Payments.

(a) Exchange Procedures. At the Closing, Target shall deliver to Acquiror the stock certificates representing all outstanding shares of Target Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and signed transmittal documents from each Target Shareholder in such form as Acquiror shall reasonable request (the “Transmittal Documents”). Each such Certificate shall be cancelled and Acquiror shall send each Target Shareholder the applicable Base Payment by wire on the sixteenth day (or the next business day following the sixteenth day, if such sixteenth day is not a business day) following the Closing.

(b) Delivery of Merger Payments. All Merger Payments made in cash shall be sent by Acquiror via wire, pursuant to the wire instructions set forth for such Target Shareholder on the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet. All Earn-Out Payments made in Acquiror Common Stock shall be sent by Acquiror or Acquiror’s transfer agent or other designee via personal delivery, overnight courier or United States Mail to the Target Shareholder at the address set forth for such Target Shareholder on the Target Capitalization Spreadsheet (or, at Acquiror’s discretion, such other address as such Target Shareholder has given Acquiror in writing). Acquiror shall not be responsible for any loss of any Merger Payment in transit. Any Target Shareholder holding Dissenting Shares that lose their status as such following the Effective Time and become converted into the right to receive the Merger Payments shall be sent the Base Payment within 30 days following such Target Shareholder’s delivery of the applicable Certificate and Transmittal Documents.

(c) Unclaimed Payments. Any Merger Payments with respect to Target Common Stock not properly delivered to a Target Shareholder pursuant to Section 1.8 through no fault of Acquiror or its agents prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date or, in the event that Earn-Out Payments are made pursuant to the Second Earn-Out Period, with respect to such Earn-Out Payments only, two

years after the Second Distribution Date, shall be forfeited by such Target Shareholder and such Merger Payments may be retained by Acquiror (to the extent permitted by applicable law). Neither Acquiror nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Target Shareholder or other person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.9 No Further Transfers. There shall be no further registration on the records of the Surviving Corporation of transfers of shares of Target Common Stock on or after the Effective Date.

1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Acquiror shall only be obligated to deliver the Merger Payments with respect to the Target Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate upon delivery of (a) an affidavit by such Target Shareholder regarding such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate and (b) an agreement by such Target Shareholder to indemnify Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation with respect to any claim that may be made against Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation or any of their agents with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.11 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Merger Payment Restriction Agreement; Reduction in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Merger Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any Merger Payments, other than Escrow Payments, payable to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, pursuant to the Restriction Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E to be entered into by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Acquiror as a condition to the Closing (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Merger Payment Restriction Agreement”), be withheld by Acquiror and paid to ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with a schedule similar with respect to the timing and percentages subject to periodic release and risk of forfeiture in the event of the termination of ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ service with Acquiror to the vesting schedule for ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ shares of Target Common Stock under that certain Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement between ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Target dated September 6, 2006, except that such schedule for the release of the Merger Payments to ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not provide for any acceleration in connection with the Merger or other actions contemplated by this Agreement and shall provide for four months of accelerated vesting of the release of the Merger Payments upon the termination of ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment with Acquiror (i) without Cause (as defined therein), (ii) upon his death or Disability or (iii) upon his resignation following a Change in Control of Acquiror. The release of any Escrow Payments to ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be governed by the terms of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Merger Restriction Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of Merger Payments payable to ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be reduced by $80,000 and such reduction shall be deemed contributed to the amount of cash set aside and reserved by Acquiror as part of the Bonus Pool (as defined below) and shall be paid to ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as set forth in the Bonus Schedule (as defined below). Such reduction in ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Merger Payments and corresponding payment to ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the Bonus Schedule shall be subject to, and conditioned upon, the prior termination of that certain Stock Option Agreement between ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ dated March 15, 1999 (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option Agreement”).

1.12 Employee Bonus; Allocation. In addition to the Merger Payments, for the benefit of Target, Acquiror shall set aside and reserve a cash amount equal to $867,740 (the “Bonus Pool”) to distribute to those employees of Target listed on Schedule 1.12 for recognition of past service with Target (the “Target Employees”). Each of Schedule 1.12 and a schedule under which each of the Target Employees shall be paid from the Bonus Pool (the “Bonus Schedule”), with the applicable agreed upon bonus amounts set forth opposite such employee’s name on such Bonus Schedule under the heading “Bonus Aggregate Payment,” shall be mutually determined by Acquiror and Target prior to the Closing.

1.14 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror are fully authorized (in the name of Target, Target Shareholders, Merger Sub or otherwise) to take all such lawful and necessary action.

Target has no obligation (contingent or otherwise) to issue any option, warrant, subscription, convertible security or other securities or rights or to issue or distribute to holders of any shares of Target Common Stock any evidences of indebtedness or assets of Target.

All of the Target Shareholders have validly executed this Agreement and such execution constitutes effective action by written consent of shareholders to approve this Agreement, the Agreement of Merger, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, under California Law, all other applicable Laws and under the Target Articles of Incorporation. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Target and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Target enforceable in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Agreement of Merger by Target does not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or breach of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, or require a waiver or consent under (a) Target’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws (each as amended to date), (b) any Material Contract, or (c) any permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Target or its properties or assets.

Statement. The offering made pursuant to such registration shall not be underwritten. Acquiror agrees to provide promptly such information concerning its business and financial statements and affairs as may be reasonably required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate in the preparation of the same. Acquiror will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be mailed to the Holders as promptly as practicable after its filing with the SEC, or otherwise make such filing available to the Holders. Acquiror shall also take any commercially reasonable action (other than qualifying to do business in any state in which it is not now so qualified or filing a general consent to service of process) required to be taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the registration and qualification of the Acquiror Common Stock to be issued to the Earn-Out Payments.

(i) Acquiror shall prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 6.12 with respect to the shares of Registrable Securities and will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act and under such other securities or blue sky laws of such states of the United States of America where an exemption is not available and as the Holders shall reasonably request, until the earlier of (A) such date as all unsold securities held by any Holder and registered on such registration statement may be sold without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (B) such date as all Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement have been resold. On the Filing Effective Date, each Holder shall be named as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such prospectus to purchasers of registered securities in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) Acquiror shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension as soon as practicable and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or Acquiror’s receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(iii) Acquiror shall use its commercially reasonable efforts either to (A) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on the securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by Acquiror are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (B) if, despite Acquiror’s commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the preceding clause, Acquiror is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clause (B), to secure the inclusion for quotation on The Nasdaq SmallCap stock exchange.

(iv) Acquiror shall cooperate with the Holders who hold Registratble Securities being offered and, to the extent, applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the cause may be, as the Holders may reasonably request and registered in such Holder’s names.

(v) Acquiror shall provide a transfer agent and registrar of all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement.

(vi) Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement which covers the applicable Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, Acquiror shall deliver to the Holders confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.

(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.12, Acquiror shall have the right at any time to require that all Holders suspend open market offers and sales of Registrable Securities whenever, and for so long as, in the reasonable, good-faith judgment of Acquiror after consultation with counsel, there is in existence material undisclosed information or events with respect to Acquiror (the “Suspension Right”). In the event Acquiror exercises the Suspension Right, such suspension will continue for the period of time reasonably necessary for disclosure to occur at a time that is not materially detrimental to Acquiror or until such time as the information or event is no longer material, each as reasonably determined in good faith by Acquiror after consultation with counsel and in each case, not to exceed more than ninety (90) consecutive days; provided, however, that if Acquiror discloses such material information in filings made by Acquiror with the SEC prior to the end of such ninety (90)-day period such suspension shall terminate on the third business day after the date of such filing by Acquiror. Acquiror will promptly give the Shareholder Representative notice, in a writing signed by an executive officer of Acquiror, of any such suspension (the “Suspension Notice”). Acquiror agrees to notify the Shareholder Representative promptly upon termination of the suspension (the “Resumption Notice”). Upon receipt of either a Suspension Notice or Resumption Notice, the Shareholder Representative shall immediately notify each Holder concerning the status of the Registration Statement. The period during which Acquiror is required to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective shall be extended by a period equal in length to any and all periods during which open market offers and sales of Registrable Securities are suspended pursuant to exercise of the Suspension Right.

(viii) Acquiror shall pay all of the out-of-pocket expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions (if any), incurred in connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.12, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees, the fees and disbursements of Acquiror’s outside counsel and independent accountants, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel for the Holders (not to exceed $35,000 in the aggregate).

(b) Acquiror will indemnify each selling Holder, each of such Holder’s officers, directors and partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each underwriter, if any, of Registrable Securities and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter (each, a “Holder Indemnitee”), against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by Acquiror of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to Acquiror and relating to action or inaction required of Acquiror in connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder Indemnitee for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that Acquiror will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to Acquiror by such Holder Indemnitee, or any such Holder affiliate or representative for use in connection with such Registration Statement and prospectus or post-effective amendment.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each selling Holder of Registrable Securities will indemnify Acquiror, each person, if any, who controls Acquiror within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each underwriter of Registrable Securities and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, partners, successors and assigns (each an “Acquiror Registration

Indemnitee”) against any actions, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will promptly reimburse each Acquiror Registration Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any actions, whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such actions, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any registration statement and any prospectus filed pursuant to Section 6.12(a) or any post-effective amendment thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Acquiror by such Holder or underwriter specifically for use in connection with such registration statement, prospectus or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that the obligations of each such selling Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to such Holder from the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities hereunder.

(d) The Target Shareholders shall agree in the Transmittal Documents to furnish to Acquiror all information concerning the Shareholders and shall take such other action as Acquiror may reasonably request in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of shares of Acquiror Common Stock. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or circumstance relating to Acquiror, any shareholder or their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants or contractors should be discovered by such party which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Registration Statement, such party shall promptly inform the other thereof and take appropriate action in respect thereof.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of Acquiror and Target;

(b) by either Acquiror or Target if the Closing shall not have occurred by December 31, 2007 (unless the failure to hold the Closing is attributable to a failure on the part of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform any material obligation required to be performed by such party at or prior to the Closing);

(c) by either Acquiror or Target if (i) the Target Shareholders have taken a final vote on action by written consent on a proposal to adopt this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement shall not have been adopted at such meeting or by such written consent by the Target Shareholders who hold at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the then outstanding Target Common Stock (and shall not have been adopted at any adjournment or postponement thereof in the event of any meeting); provided, however, that (A) a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if the failure to obtain such shareholder approval is attributable to a failure on the part of such party to perform any material obligation required to be performed by such party at or prior to the Closing, and (B) Target shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) unless Target shall have made the payment required to be made to Acquiror pursuant to Section 8.3(a) and shall have paid to Acquiror any fee required to be paid to Acquiror pursuant to Section 8.3(b);

(d) by Acquiror if (i) any of Target’s or any Target Shareholder’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be inaccurate as of the date of this Agreement, or shall have become inaccurate as of a date subsequent to the date of this Agreement (as if made on such subsequent date), such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) would not be satisfied (it being understood that, for purposes of such Section 7.2(a) determination of the accuracy of such representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement or at any subsequent date, (A) all “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications and other materiality qualifications, and any similar qualifications, contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded and (B) any update of or modification to Target Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made after the date of this Agreement shall be disregarded), or (ii) any of Target’s covenants contained in this Agreement shall have been breached such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if an inaccuracy in Target’s representations and warranties or a breach of a covenant by Target is curable by Target and Target is continuing to exercise all reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach, then Acquiror may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) on account of such inaccuracy or breach; or

(e) by Target if (i) any of Acquiror representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be inaccurate as of the date of this Agreement, or shall have become inaccurate as of a

date subsequent to the date of this Agreement (as if made on such subsequent date), such that the condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) would not be satisfied (it being understood that, for purposes of such Section 7.3(a) determination of the accuracy of such representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement or at any subsequent date, all “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications and other materiality qualifications, and any similar qualifications, contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded or (ii) if any of Acquiror’s covenants contained in this Agreement shall have been breached such that the condition set forth in Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if an inaccuracy in Acquiror’s representations and warranties or a breach of a covenant by Acquiror is curable by Acquiror and Acquiror is continuing to exercise all reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach, then Target may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) on account of such inaccuracy or breach.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that (i) this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, and (ii) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement.

(b) Target Termination Fee. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Acquiror or Target, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 8.1(c) or 8.1(d), Target shall pay to Acquiror in immediately available funds a fee equal to $1,000,000 plus Acquiror’s actual expenses and fees incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, “Target Termination Fee”). In the case of the termination of this Agreement by Target pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Target shall pay the Target Termination Fee to Acquiror prior to such termination. In the case of the termination of this Agreement by Acquiror pursuant to Section 8.1(d), Target shall pay the Target Termination Fee to Acquiror within two business days after such termination.

(c) Interest and Costs; Other Remedies. Each of Acquiror and Target acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Article XIII are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party hereto would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Target fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, Acquiror makes a claim that results in a judgment against Target, Target shall pay to Acquiror its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. Payment of the fees described in this Section 8.3 shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each party set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule, instrument or other document delivered by any party to another party pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect until the expiration of all indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article IX. The representations and warranties (as modified by the Target Disclosure Schedule), covenants and agreements of any Indemnitor (as defined below) shall in no way be affected or limited by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by

or on behalf of any Indemnitee (as defined below) or any Knowledge of such Indemnitee (as defined below).

9.2 Losses.

(a) “Losses” of any person or entity means any and all demands, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, proceedings, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, taxes, costs and expenses incurred, or reasonably expected to be incurred, by such person or entity, including interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees, third party expert and consultant fees and expenses, fines, judgments, awards and financial responsibility for investigation, removal and cleanup costs, natural resource damages, government oversight costs and costs for redesign and rework of technology, and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article IX. The term Losses as used herein is not limited to matters asserted by third parties, but includes Losses incurred or sustained in the absence of claims by a third party. “Acquiror Indemnitee” shall mean Acquiror, any Affiliate of Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns. As used in this Article IX, an “Affiliate” of Acquiror shall include any direct or indirect subsidiary of Acquiror (including the Surviving Corporation) and any officer, director or employee of Acquiror or any such subsidiary. “Target Indemnitee” shall mean Target, any Target Shareholder, any Affiliate of Target and their respective successors and assigns. As used in this Article IX, an “Affiliate” of Target shall include any direct or indirect subsidiary of Target and any officer, director or employee of Target or any such subsidiary.

(b) All Losses under this Article IX shall be calculated in a manner such that the net after-tax effect of the indemnification payments received by an Acquiror Indemnitee or Target Indemnitee, as the case may be, equals the net after-tax Loss suffered by such Acquiror Indemnitee or Target Indemnitee for which such indemnification payment is being made. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purposes of the indemnity provided in this Article IX, all Losses hereunder shall include any amount (the “gross-up”) necessary to hold the payee harmless on an after-tax basis from all taxes, if any, required to be paid or tax costs incurred as a result of receiving such payment (including the payment of any gross-up determined herein by such payee or by any consolidated group of which such payee is or shall be a member).

9.3 Indemnification by Target Shareholders.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, each Target Shareholder, severally and jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Acquiror Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by such Acquiror Indemnitee which arise out of or in connection with:

(i) any inaccuracy in, or any breach of, any representation or warranty of Target contained in Article II of this Agreement (as modified by the Target Disclosure Schedule), or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered by or on behalf of Target pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (it being agreed that for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss with respect thereto, all such representations and warranties of Target and the Target Shareholders that are qualified as to materiality or by reference to a material adverse effect shall be deemed to be not so qualified);

(ii) a breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Target pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement;

(iii) any inaccuracy in, or any breach of, any representation or warranty of any Target Shareholder contained in Article III of this Agreement, or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered by any Target Shareholder pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement (it being agreed that for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss with respect thereto, all such representations and warranties of such Target Shareholder that are qualified as to materiality or by reference to a material adverse effect shall be deemed to be not so qualified);

(iv) the failure by any Target Shareholder to perform any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking of it in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered by any Target Shareholder pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement;

(v) any claim by a Target Shareholder, former shareholder of Target, or any other person or entity, seeking to assert, or based upon: (A) ownership or rights to acquire ownership of any shares of stock or other securities of Target; (B) any rights of a shareholder, including any option, preemptive rights or rights to notice or to vote; (C) any rights under the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of Target; or (D) any claim that his, her or its shares were wrongfully repurchased by Target;

(vi) any negotiations, settlements or proceedings related to a demand for appraisal rights by a holder of Dissenting Shares; provided, however, that with respect to this clause, Losses shall only be deemed incurred to the extent (x) the aggregate amount of such Losses with respect to such negotiations, settlements or proceedings to all Dissenting Shares exceeds (y) the aggregate amount of the Merger Payments that would have been received by such holders of Dissenting Shares had they exchanged their shares of Target Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.8 (the “Appraisal Losses”);

(vii) any Indemnifiable Target Expenses; and

(viii) fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by Target or Target Shareholders.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Target Shareholder shall be responsible for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Acquiror Indemnitees exceeds a cumulative amount equal to $200,000 (the “Deductible”); provided, however, that (i) if the aggregate amount of all Losses exceeds the Deductible, the Acquiror Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses, including the Deductible, and (ii) the Deductible shall not be applicable to any Losses incurred due to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by Target or Target Shareholders.

(c) Only Acquiror (or a person or entity designated in writing by Acquiror) may bring a Claim (as defined below) to recover for Losses that are economic losses of the Surviving Corporation or Acquiror.

(d) The cumulative indemnification obligation of all Target Shareholders under this Article IX shall in no event exceed an amount equal to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Indemnity Cap”); provided, however, that the Indemnity Cap shall not be applicable to (i) any Losses incurred due to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by Target or Target Shareholders and (ii) any Losses asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any Acquiror Indemnitee which arise out of or in connection with any inaccuracy in, or any breach of, any Extended Representation (as defined in Section 9.6 below).

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the rights of any Acquiror Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.3 with respect to a representation, warranty,

covenant or agreement of a Target Shareholder and Target are an essential part of the economic terms of the Merger, and that any Acquiror Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification therefor shall in no way be limited or eliminated or otherwise affected by the fact that such Acquiror Indemnitee, or any of its directors, officers, employees or advisors, was at any time prior to the Closing or the execution of this Agreement aware (or should have become aware) that any such representation or warranty was untrue or incorrect or that any such covenant or agreement had been breached.

9.4 Indemnification by Acquiror.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Acquiror agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Target Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by such Target Indemnitee which arise out of or in connection with:

(i) any inaccuracy in, or any breach of, any representation or warranty of Acquiror or Merger Sub contained in Article IV of this Agreement, or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered by or on behalf of Acquiror or Merger Sub pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii) a breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Acquiror or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; and

(iii) the failure by Acquiror or Merger Sub to perform any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking of it in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered by Acquiror or Merger Sub pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement.

(b) The maximum amount the Target Indemnitees may recover from Acquiror pursuant to the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 9.4 for Losses shall be limited in the aggregate to the total Earn-Out Payments, provided, however, that such limitation shall not be applicable to any Losses incurred due to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by Acquiror or Merger Sub.

9.5 Procedures.

(a) Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(i) If a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against an Acquiror Indemnitee or a Target Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) arising out of a matter for which such Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (each, an “Indemnitor”) in writing of such claim (in the case of a request for indemnification by the Target Shareholders, such notice to be delivered to the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Target Shareholders). The failure to notify promptly the Indemnitor hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) Within 30 days after delivery of such notice, the Indemnitor may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnitee, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnitee shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnitor assumes control of such defense and the Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnitor

and the Indemnitee have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnitor be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnitees. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnitee shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnitor shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Procedures for Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnitee should have a claim under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim” and together with a Third Party Claim, each a “Claim”), the Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such Direct Claim to the Indemnitor (in the case of a request for indemnification by the Target Shareholders, such notice to be delivered to the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Target Shareholders). The failure by any Indemnitee to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within 30 days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnitor disputes its liability to the Indemnitee (such notice on behalf of the Target Shareholders to come from the Shareholder Representative), such Direct Claim specified by the Indemnitee in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of such Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnitee on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

9.6 Termination of Indemnification.

(a) Sections 2.2 (Capital Structure), 2.3 (Authority), 2.10 (Title to Property), 2.11 (Intellectual Property), 2.12 (Environmental Matters), 2.13 (Taxes), 2.14 (Employee Benefit Plans) and 2.15 (Employees and Independent Contractors), and Article III of this Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Extended Representations”).

(b) The Target Shareholders will only have indemnification obligations under Section 9.3 of this Agreement:

(i) until the later of the second anniversary of the Effective Date and the Second Distribution Date with respect to the representations and warranties other than the Extended Representations; and

(ii) until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) with respect to the Extended Representations.

(i) until the second anniversary of the Effective Date with respect to the representations and warranties; and

(ii) one year following the failure by Acquiror, Surviving Corporation or Merger Sub to materially perform any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking of it

in this Agreement or in any material certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered by Acquiror or Merger Sub pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 9.6(b) and (c), no such indemnification obligations shall terminate with respect to any item as to which any Indemnitee has, before the expiration of such period, previously made a Claim against the Indemnitor by delivering a notice to the Indemnitor in accordance with this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, there shall be no limitation as to time, amount or otherwise on an Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by or on behalf of such Indemnitor. All parties shall be liable for any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by or on behalf of such parties.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit (i) the liability of any Indemnitor in connection with any breach by such Indemnitor of any agreement executed by such person in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) any Indemnitee’s rights to specific performance or injunctive relief.

9.7 Cumulative Remedy. In addition to seeking indemnification under Section 9.9 below from the Escrow Amount and setoff against the Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration, Acquiror may, in its discretion, seek indemnification for Losses directly from the Target Shareholders with respect to matters covered by Section 9.3(a)(iii), (iv) or (viii).

9.8 Dispute Resolution. In the event that (a) an Indemnitor objects to any Claim or (b) the Shareholder Representative disputes (i) Acquiror’s determination to pay to itself or any other Acquiror Indemnitee any portion of the Escrow Amount or (ii) Acquiror’s determination to reduce the Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration by the amount of a Claim or Claims, the objecting party shall notify the Indemnitee, in the case of an objection pursuant to clause (a), or Acquiror, in the case of a dispute pursuant to clause (b), in writing within 30 days after receipt of notice of a Claim of such dispute (an “Objection Notice”) and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute within 60 days of delivery of such Objection Notice (the expiration of such 60 day period following delivery of the Objection Notice shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Resolution Date”). If such dispute is not so resolved by the Resolution Date, then either the Indemnitee or the Indemnitor may demand arbitration of the matter to be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor; provided, however, that no such arbitration may be initiated more than 90 days after the Resolution Date and following the Resolution Date the Claim will be deemed undisputed. In the event that, within 30 days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within 15 days after the end of such 30-day period, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. If the Indemnitee fails to select an arbitrator during this 15-day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected by the Indemnitor. Any such arbitration shall be held in Austin, Texas under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery

and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any Claim shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Target Shareholders. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Within 30 days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

9.9 Escrow Provisions.

(a) Establishment of the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Amount shall be deposited with ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) and shall constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”), without any act of any Target Shareholder. The Escrow Fund will be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the escrow agreement in substantially the form approved by Acquiror, Target and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”) and shall be maintained in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) Escrow Fund Period; Release from Escrow. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Closing Date and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Austin, Texas time, on the date (the “Escrow Expiration Date”) two years after the Closing Date (the period of time from the Effective Time through and including the Escrow Expiration Date is referred to herein as the “Escrow Fund Period”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that (i) on the third business day after the final determination of the Working Capital Adjustment in accordance with Section 1.6(e)(including the resolution of any dispute regarding the Working Capital Adjustment in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.6(e)) $2,000,000 shall be distributed to the Target Shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (less any amounts by which the Escrow Fund has been reduced or any portion thereof reserved from distribution in accordance with the Escrow Agreement), (ii) upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date $1,000,000 (less any amounts by which the Escrow Fund has been reduced or any portion thereof reserved from distribution in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) shall be distributed to the Target Shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and (iii) upon the Escrow Expiration Date the remainder of the Escrow Fund (less any amounts by which the Escrow Fund has been reduced or any portion thereof reserved from distribution in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) shall be distributed to Target Shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Protection of Escrow Fund; Distribution for Taxes. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Fund Period and shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement. The parties hereto covenant and agree to treat any amounts held in the Escrow Fund as contingent payments eligible to be reported on the installment method. The parties hereto agree that, for tax reporting purposes, the Target Shareholders shall be the owners of their pro-rata shares of the Escrow Fund, but only if, as and when their pro rata shares of the Escrow Fund are actually distributed. Upon request by the Shareholder Representative and the written consent of Acquiror (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Acquiror and the Shareholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent (in the manner provided for in the Escrow Agreement) to disburse a portion of the accrued interest on those amounts held in the Escrow Fund adequate to satisfy the tax obligations due

and payable by the Target Shareholders with respect to the Target Shareholders’ ownership of their pro-rata shares of the Escrow Fund.

9.10 Right of Set-Off Against Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration. If (i) the Escrow Amount has been exhausted or (ii) Acquiror has made a Claim or Claims for an amount or amounts in aggregate in excess of the balance of the Escrow Amount available at such time, Acquiror is subject to satisfaction and compliance with all other provisions of this Article IX, authorized at any time thereafter and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to reduce the Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration to satisfy any indemnification obligation of Target or Target Shareholders set forth in any such Claim.

9.11 Shareholder Representative.

(a) Each Target Shareholder, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby consents and agrees to the appointment of ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as the “Shareholder Representative” for purposes of all matters expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to be performed by the Shareholder Representative. As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Shareholder Representative shall not be required to exercise any discretion or to take any action that exposes the Shareholder Representative to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Shareholder Representative shall be deemed to continue in office notwithstanding any purported resignation or removal until Acquiror receives written notice signed by the Target Shareholders that held a majority of the Target Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time designating a new Shareholder Representative that is reasonably acceptable to Acquiror.

(b) Each Target Shareholder hereby constitutes and appoints the Shareholder Representative, including any replacement of any such Shareholder Representative, as attorney-in-fact for such Target Shareholder with full power of substitution and authority, in his discretion, to (i) enforce this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement against the parties hereto, (ii) execute any amendment or waiver of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and any other document or instrument necessary or advisable in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (iii) give and receive notices and communications and, without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.11, dispute any decision of Acquiror to pay itself or any Indemnitee hereunder, (iv) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and to comply with orders of courts with respect to any dispute or loss, (v) to make an election with respect to the allocation of any Earn-Out Payment between cash and Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(f)(iv)(A) and (v) to take all actions necessary or appropriate on behalf of the Target Shareholders or itself in the reasonable judgment of the Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to consent to any payment from the Escrow Amount or Aggregate Earn-Out Consideration to Acquiror. The Target Shareholders shall be responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Shareholder Representative in performing his duties under this Agreement. The Shareholder Representative shall not use or disclose any non-public information.

(c) All decisions of the Shareholder Representative, including any election made by the Shareholder Representative with respect to the allocation of an Earn-Out Payment between cash and Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(f)(iv)(A), may be relied upon by Acquiror and any third person, and shall be binding and conclusive upon each Target Shareholder.

(d) The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Target Shareholders for any loss or damage incurred by reason of any act or failure to act by such Shareholder Representative, and each Target Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder Representative against any loss or damage except to the extent that such loss or damage shall have been the result of the individual gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Shareholder Representative.

9.12 Merger Consideration Adjustment. The parties hereto agree that any amounts paid to an Indemnitee hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the aggregate Merger Payments paid by Indemnitor pursuant to this Agreement for all tax purposes.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic delivery shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart signature page.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries; Nonassignability. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including the Escrow Agreement, the Exhibits, the Target Disclosure Schedule and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Merger Payment Restriction Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, and (c) shall not be assigned by any Target Shareholder by operation of law or otherwise without Acquiror’s written consent.

The Target Shareholders agree that any amendment or waiver signed by the Shareholder Representative shall be binding upon and effective against the Target Shareholders whether or not they have signed such amendment.

10.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.7 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

Each party agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim it may now or hereafter have that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the action, suit, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit, or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. Each party further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any such action, suit, or proceeding and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available.

10.9 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
