SECTION 2.01 Merger Consideration.

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

(i) each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any (A) shares of Company Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii) and (B) Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.06)) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Cash Consideration by (2) the Outstanding Shares.

(ii) any shares of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company and any shares of Company Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; and

(iii) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain

outstanding and shall represent one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “Merger Consideration” means the Cash Consideration

(ii) “Cash Consideration” means $13,450,000 less the Excess Company Transaction Expenses.

(iii) “Company Transaction Expenses” means all third party fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Principal Shareholder in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including legal, accounting, investment banking, finders and advisory fees and expenses), whether or not invoiced or billed prior to the Effective Time, and including any payments to holders of Company Options in respect of the termination thereof.

(iv) “Customer Holdback Amount” means $500,000.

(v) “Excess Company Transaction Expenses” means the amount by which the Company Transaction Expenses exceed $30,000.

(vi) “Holdback Amount” means $2,000,000 or, where appropriate, the then current value of the original amount withheld following distribution to the Company Shareholders or setoff and application against indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Agreement.

(vii) “Outstanding Shares” means the number of shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested or contingent.

(c) If any shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement, stock option exercise agreement or other agreement with the Company, then such shares of Company Stock shall, on date no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time, accelerate and become vested and any such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement, stock option exercise agreement or other agreement with the Company shall terminate and become of no force or effect.

SECTION 2.02 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Procedures. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in effecting the exchange of the applicable Merger Consideration for certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock (“Company Share Certificates”) and which were

converted into the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent as the Exchange Agent shall mail to each record holder of Company Share Certificates a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and instructions for use in surrendering such Company Share Certificates and receiving the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01.

Upon the surrender of each Company Share Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent:

(i) Parent shall pay to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in exchange therefor that cash payment to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01 less the amounts attributable to the pro rata interest of such holder in the Holdback Amount and Customer Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 2.02(b); and

(ii) the Company Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable Merger Consideration may be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the Company Share Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Company Share Certificate representing such shares of Company Stock is presented to Parent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and evidence that (i) the shares are transferable and (ii) any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article II, each Company Share Certificate shall, subject to dissenters’ rights under Chapter 13 of the CCC and Section 2.06, be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01.

(b) Holdbacks.

(i) Indemnification Holdback. Parent shall withhold the Holdback Amount from the Merger Consideration payable to the Company Shareholders at the Effective Time. The Holdback Amount shall not be delivered to the Company Shareholders following the Closing and shall instead be held by Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Parent shall be entitled to retain and subtract from the Holdback Amount the amount of any Losses for which the Company Shareholders are obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to Article IX. Distributions of any Holdback Amount shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No interest shall accrue on the Holdback Amount. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company Shareholders shall constitute approval of Parent’s retention of the Holdback Amount and of all the arrangements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the subtraction of the Holdback Amount at Closing and the appointment of the Shareholders’ Representative.

(ii) Customer Holdback. Pursuant to Section 7.02(x), the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger are subject to the Company securing the customer agreement amendment described on Schedule 2.02(b) (the “Required Customer Amendment”). In the event that, prior to Closing, the Company shall not have secured the Required Customer Amendment, and Parent waives such condition and elects to proceed with the Closing, Parent shall be entitled to withhold the Customer Holdback Amount from the Merger Consideration payable to the Company Shareholders at the Effective Time. In such event, the Customer Holdback Amount shall not be delivered to the Company Shareholders following the Closing and shall instead be held by Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Distributions, if any, of the Customer Holdback Amount shall be governed by Section 2.02(b)(ii)(A) below. No interest shall accrue on the Customer Holdback Amount. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company Shareholders shall constitute approval of Parent’s retention of the Customer Holdback Amount and of all the arrangements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the subtraction of the Customer Holdback Amount at Closing.

(A) If, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date that is the 24 month anniversary of the Closing Date (“Customer Holdback Expiration Date”), Parent or the Surviving Corporation secures the Required Customer Amendment, Parent will distribute or cause to be distributed to the Company Shareholders the Customer Holdback Amount. In addition, if, as of the Customer Holdback Expiration Date, the customer identified on Schedule 2.02(b) has not made a claim against Parent or the Surviving Corporation for a refund related to undelivered functionality, Parent will thereafter distribute or cause to be distributed to the Company Shareholders the Customer Holdback Amount. If the customer identified on Schedule 2.02(b) makes a claim against Parent or the Surviving Corporation for a refund related to undelivered functionality prior to the Customer Holdback Expiration Date and the Required Customer Amendment is not obtained by the Customer Holdback Expiration Date, Parent shall be entitled to setoff and apply the amount of the refund claim against the Customer Holdback Amount and Parent shall thereafter only distribute or cause to be distributed to the Company Shareholders the balance of the Customer Holdback Amount (i.e. $500,000 minus amount of the refund claim).

(c) No Further Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration issued upon the conversion of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock.

(d) No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any Merger Consideration (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) properly and legally delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law (as defined in Section 3.06(a)).

(e) Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment pursuant to requirements under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax (as defined in

Section 3.15(l)) Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Company Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Share Certificate, Parent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Share Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to which such person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

SECTION 2.03 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates representing shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.

SECTION 2.04 Company Stock Options. Each option to purchase Company Common Stock (the “Company Options”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full at that time and become exercisable for all the shares of Company Common Stock at the time subject to such Company Option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Company Common Stock. However, at the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding and unexercised Company Option shall be cancelled and shall cease to remain exercisable for any shares of Company Common Stock.

SECTION 2.05 Closing Certificate.

(a) At the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) that discloses and certifies to Parent, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time:

(i) the information regarding the Company’s capitalization required to be set forth on Section 3.04 of the Company Disclosure Schedule;

(ii) the total number of Dissenting Shares, if any, and the names and addresses of the holders thereof;

(iii) the respective amounts of all Company Transaction Expenses; and

(iv) the Final Conversion Schedule (as defined in Section 6.10).

(b) The information provided in the Closing Certificate shall be deemed to be representations and warranties of the Company and the Principal Shareholder hereunder made as of the Effective Time.

SECTION 2.06 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by shareholders who have exercised and perfected dissenters’ rights for such shares of Company Stock in accordance with the Chapter 13 of the CCC (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the cash. Such shareholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Stock held by them in accordance with the CCC, unless and until such shareholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their dissenters rights under Chapter 13 of the CCC. All Dissenting Shares held by shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Stock under Chapter 13 of the CCC shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon the surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.02, of the corresponding Company Share Certificate

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CCC) and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Chapter 13 of the CCC. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
AND THE PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER

Each of the Company and the Principal Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub, jointly and severally, that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective Time (except for any such representation and warranty that expressly is made as of a specific date, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such date), subject to such qualifications as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged according to specific sections in this Article III and shall provide exceptions to, or otherwise qualify in reasonable detail, only the corresponding section in this Article III (whether or not specifically referenced in the Agreement) and any other section hereof where it is reasonably clear on the face of the disclosure that such disclosure would also relate to the particular section.

SECTION 3.01 Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and otherwise hold and operate its properties and other assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have such corporate power and authority has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Section 3.01 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth each jurisdiction where the Company is qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation and each other jurisdiction in which the Company owns, uses, licenses or leases real property or has employees or engages independent contractors. The term “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect (regardless of whether or not such events, changes, violations, inaccuracies, circumstances or effects are inconsistent with the representations or warranties made by the Company or the Principal Shareholder, as applicable, in this Agreement) that is, or could reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), assets (tangible or intangible), or results of operations of the Company.

SECTION 3.02 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company has made available to Parent a complete and correct copy of (a) the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company including all amendments thereto, (b) the minute books containing all consents, actions and meetings of the shareholders of the Company and the Company’s Board of Directors and any committees thereof, and (c) the stock transfer books of the Company setting forth all issuances or transfers of any capital stock of the Company. Such Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are in full force and effect. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. The corporate minute books, stock certificate books, stock registers and other corporate records of the Company are complete and accurate in all material respects, and the signatures appearing on all documents contained therein are the true or facsimile signatures of the persons purported to have signed the same.

SECTION 3.03 No Subsidiaries. The Company does not own, of record or beneficially, or control any direct or indirect equity or other interest, or any right (contingent or otherwise) to acquire the same, in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association or other entity. The Company is not a member of (nor is any part of the Company’s business conducted through) any partnership, nor is the Company a participant in any joint venture or similar arrangement. There are no contractual obligations of the Company to provide funds to, or make any investment in (whether in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise), any other person.

SECTION 3.04 Capitalization.

As of the date hereof, (i) 236,478 shares of Company Class A Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) 6,084 shares of Company Class B Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (iii) no shares of Company Common Stock are held in the treasury of the Company, (iv) 6,550 shares of Company Class A Stock are reserved for future issuance pursuant to outstanding Company Options and (v) 2,063 shares of Company Class B Stock are reserved for future issuance pursuant to outstanding Company Options. As of the date of this Agreement, (A) no shares of Company Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, and (B) the outstanding shares of Company Stock are owned as set forth in Section 3.04(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 9.01 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Company Shareholders (including the Principal Shareholder) contained in this Agreement, including the indemnification obligations enumerated in Section 9.02(a) below, and any other document or certificate relating hereto (collectively, the “Acquisition Documents”) shall survive the Effective Time for a period of sixteen (16) months; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.04, 3.05, and 3.15 and Article IIIA (such representations, the “Basic Representations”) shall survive until the end of the applicable statute of limitations. The representations and warranties of Parent contained in the Acquisition Documents shall not survive beyond the Effective Time. Neither the period of survival nor the liability of the Company Shareholders with respect to the Company’s or the Principal Shareholders’ representations and warranties shall be affected by any investigation made at any time (whether before or after the Effective Time) by or on behalf of Parent or by any actual, implied or constructive knowledge or notice of any facts or circumstances that Parent may have as a result of any such investigation or otherwise. The parties hereto agree that reliance shall not be an element of any claim for misrepresentation or indemnification under this Agreement. The waiver by Parent of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or based on the performance of, or compliance with, any covenant or obligation, shall waive the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations unless otherwise noted in the Company Disclosure Schedule. If written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties by Parent to the Shareholders’ Representative, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

SECTION 9.02 Indemnification by the Company Shareholders.

(a) After the Effective Time, Parent and its affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation), officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company Shareholders (including the Principal Shareholder), for any and all liabilities, losses, damages of any kind, diminution in value, claims, costs, expenses, fines, fees, deficiencies, interest, awards, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses and other reasonable costs of defending, investigating or settling claims) suffered, incurred, accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP as in effect at the Effective Time) or paid by them (including,

without limitation, in connection with any action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty (without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications or standards contained therein) made by the Company or any Company Shareholder in the Acquisition Documents;

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Company Shareholder in the Acquisition Documents;

(iii) any inaccuracy in the information in the Closing Certificate;

(iv) Losses from breach of contract or other claims made by any party alleging to have had a contractual or other right to acquire the Company’s capital stock or assets;

(v) in the event that any Company Shareholder properly exercises appraisal rights under applicable Law, the amount, if any, by which the fair market value (determined in accordance with applicable Law) of the Dissenting Shares exceeds the amount such Company Shareholder was otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement;

(vi) any cost, loss or other expense (including the value of any Tax deduction lost) as a result of the application of Section 280G of the Code to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement plus any gross up amount;

(vii) any actual or asserted (when actualized) liability for Taxes of or owed by the Company in respect of any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the Closing Date of any Tax period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”) to the extent that such Taxes are in excess of the amount, if any, reserved for such Taxes on the Reference Balance Sheet, as such reserve is adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with past custom and practice of Company (“Tax Claims”); provided, that for purposes of applying this subparagraph (ix) in the case of any Tax period that includes but ends after the Closing Date (each, a “Straddle Period”), Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing period based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and other Taxes shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Period based on a daily proration of such Taxes or on such other method as may be agreed upon by Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative; or

(viii) any claims for indemnification or expense reimbursement by or in respect of any current or former officer, director or agent of the Company with respect to any matter which, if brought against the Company, would have been a Loss for which an Indemnified Party would have been entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.02(a);

(ix) defending any third party claim alleging the occurrence of facts or circumstances or raising claims that, if assumed to be true, would entitle an Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder; and

(x) any of the matters set forth on Schedule 9.02(a) hereto.

(b) As used herein, “Losses” are not limited to matters asserted by third parties, but include Losses incurred or sustained by the Parent Indemnified Parties in the absence of claims by third parties. All indemnification payments under this Article IX will be deemed adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all tax, financial reporting and other purposes.

(c) By virtue of their adoption of this Agreement and their approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company Shareholders acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Losses as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as an Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Losses as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

(d) No shareholder of the Company shall have any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such shareholder may become subject under or in connection this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III of this Agreement and the Principal Shareholder’s representations and warranties contained in Article IIIA of this Agreement shall, for purposes of the Company Shareholders’ indemnification obligations, be deemed to be made as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective Time (except for any such representation or warranty that expressly speaks of an earlier date) without regard to any exceptions set forth in the certificates delivered in connection with Section 7.02(a) or any notices or amendments of, or supplements to, the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Principal Shareholder Disclosure Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 5.03.

SECTION 9.03 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect to (A) claims for equitable remedies, (B) claims based on fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation or misconduct and (C) claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any inaccuracies in or breaches of the Basic Representations:

(a) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 9.02(a) that may be recovered from the Company Shareholders (the “Indemnification Cap”) shall be limited to the setoff from and reduction of the Holdback Amount; and

(b) no indemnification payment by the Company Shareholders with respect to any indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable under Section 9.02(a)(i) and arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 9.02(a)(i) shall be payable until such time as all such indemnifiable Losses shall aggregate to more than $75,000, after which time the Company Shareholders shall be liable for all indemnifiable Losses in excess of the first $75,000.

SECTION 9.04 Indemnification Procedures. For purposes of this Article IX, a party against which indemnification may be sought is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” and the party which may be entitled to indemnification is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. Parent may provide all notices given pursuant to this section to the Shareholders’ Representative in lieu of providing notice to the Company Shareholders.

(a) Third Party Claims.

(i) The obligations and liabilities of Indemnifying Parties under this Article IX with respect to Losses arising from actual or threatened claims or demands by any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article IX (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within 90 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release an Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim if (i) any such claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary losses, any injunctive or other equitable relief, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of the adequacy of the remaining Holdback Amount to provide indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such proceeding, (iii) there is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate (in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim may establish (in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party) a precedential custom or practice adverse to the business interests of the Indemnified Party or would increase the Tax liability of the Indemnified Party, or (v) any such claim relates to or affects Parent or the Surviving Corporation’s intellectual property rights. Prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period in which the Indemnifying Party may elect to assume the defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (and in the event there is

an indemnificable Loss, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), to defend or prosecute such claim in a manner as it may deem reasonably appropriate. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, it will conduct the defense actively, diligently and at its own expense, and it will hold all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement thereof. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. Except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Indemnifying Party will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnified Party by the third party of a release from all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof), (B) any liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof) or (C) any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims of a similar nature that may be made by the same third party against the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof); or (iii) which exceeds the then current value of the remaining Holdback Amount.

(iii) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of an Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party had the right to assume pursuant to Section 9.04(a), the Indemnified Party shall have the right (and in the event there is an indemnificable Loss, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), to defend or prosecute such claim in any manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate and may settle such claim and seek prompt reimbursement for any Losses incurred in connection with such settlement after (i) giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and (ii) upon the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) without which no such settlement shall be binding on the Indemnifying Party. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement for any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with US GAAP as in effect at the Effective Time). If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do so.

(iv) In the event that the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.04(a), the Indemnified Party shall have the right (and in the event there is an indemnifiable Loss, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), to defend or prosecute such claim and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim and seek prompt reimbursement for any Losses incurred in connection with such settlement after (i) giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and (ii) upon the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) without which no such settlement shall be binding on the Indemnifying Party. In such case, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and

the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement for any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with US GAAP as in effect at the Effective Time).

(b) Direct Claims.

(i) Notice of Claim. In the event of a claim that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against it, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Representative in writing (a “Notice of Direct Claim”). The Notice of Direct Claim shall set forth the amount, if known, or, if not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of claimed Losses (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Losses) and a description of the basis for such claim. The failure to provide such notice shall not release an Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) Objections to Claim. The Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days from receipt of such Notice of Direct Claim to dispute the claim by providing written notice of such objection, which notice shall describe the grounds for such objection in reasonable detail. If the Indemnifying Party does not give notice to the Indemnified Party that it disputes such claim within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Notice of Claim, the claim specified in such Notice of Claim will be conclusively deemed a Loss subject to indemnification hereunder.

(iii) Resolution. If the Shareholders’ Representative shall timely deliver a notice pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii), objecting in writing to any claim or claims by the Indemnified Party, the Shareholders’ Representative and Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to determine the validity of the claim for indemnity and to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, Parent and the Representative may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, pursue all rights and remedies available to the Indemnified Party or the Shareholders’ Representative, as appropriate, under law or equity. For the sake of clarity, any amount of indemnified Losses which is subject to dispute shall be a Pending Claims Amount (as defined below) for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) Setoff. Subject to the indemnification limitations set forth in this Article IX, Parent is authorized (in its sole and absolute discretion) to setoff and apply all indemnifiable Losses against the then current value of any Holdback Amount to be paid (and not yet paid) to the Company Shareholders as follows:

(i) Upon the making of any claim for indemnification, the remaining amount of the Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the amount necessary to satisfy

and pay such claim (each such amount, a “Pending Claims Amount”) and Parent will only thereafter distribute any Pending Claims Amounts as provided in Section 9.04(c)(ii) below.

(ii) If, on the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date (the “First Release Date”), the sum of (x) all indemnified Losses to which Parent or any Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to a Settlement Letter or a Final Court Order prior to the First Release Date and (y) all Pending Claims Amounts that have not been resolved pursuant to a Settlement Letter or a Final Court Order on or prior to the First Release Date (such sum, the “Initial Reserved Amount”) is less than $1,000,000, then within five business days following the First Release Date, Parent will distribute or cause to be distributed the Company Shareholders an amount, if any, equal to $1,000,000 minus the Initial Reserved Amount. Within five business days following the date that is sixteen (16) months after the Closing Date, Parent will distribute or cause to be distributed the Company Shareholders an amount equal to (i) the remaining Holdback Amount, minus (ii) all indemnified Losses to which Parent or any Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to a Settlement Letter or a Final Court Order that have not previously been setoff against the Holdback Amount, and minus (iii) all Pending Claims Amounts that have not been previously resolved pursuant to a Settlement Letter or a Final Court Order. Parent will only distribute a Pending Claims Amount in accordance with a letter executed by Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative settling in full the claim related to such Pending Claims Amount (a “Settlement Letter”) or a final, non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction finally determining the amount, if any, of indemnified Losses to which an Indemnified Party is entitled for the claim related to such Pending Claims Amount (a “Final Court Order”).

SECTION 9.05 Shareholders’ Representative.

(a) ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (such person and any successor being the “Shareholders’ Representative”) shall act as the representative of the Company Shareholders, and shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Company Shareholders and to take any and all actions required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholders’ Representative under this Agreement with respect to any claims (including the settlement thereof) made by a Parent Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (including, without limitation, the exercise of the power to (i) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to any claims for indemnification and (ii) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing). In all matters relating to this Article IX, the Shareholders’ Representative shall be the only party entitled to assert the rights of the Company Shareholders, and the Shareholders’ Representative shall perform all of the obligations of the Company Shareholders hereunder. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations and decisions of the Shareholders’ Representative.

(b) The Company Shareholders shall be bound by all actions taken by the Shareholders’ Representative in his, her or its capacity thereof, except for any action that conflicts with the limitations set forth in subsection (d) below. The Shareholders’ Representative shall promptly, and in any event within five business days, provide written notice to the Company Shareholders of any action taken on behalf of them by the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to the authority delegated to the Shareholders’ Representative under this Section 9.05. The Shareholders’ Representative shall at all times act in his or her capacity as

Shareholders’ Representative in a manner that the Shareholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Shareholders. Neither the Shareholders’ Representative nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, if any, shall be liable to any person for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken under this Agreement, except in the case of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Shareholders’ Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. As to any matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative shall not exercise any discretion or take any action.

(c) Each Company Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse the Shareholders’ Representative from and against such Company Shareholder’s ratable share of any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Shareholders’ Representative under this Agreement, other than such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising out of or resulting from the Shareholders’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Shareholders’ Representative is not authorized to, and shall not, accept on behalf of any Company Shareholder any merger consideration to which such Company Shareholder is entitled under this Agreement and the Shareholders’ Representative shall not in any manner exercise, or seek to exercise, any voting power whatsoever with respect to shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent now or hereafter owned of record or beneficially by any Company Shareholder unless the Shareholders’ Representative is expressly authorized to do so in a writing signed by such Company Shareholder.

SECTION 9.06 Insurance. The amount of indemnifiable Losses required to be paid under this Article IX shall be reduced by (or if already paid, shall be promptly repaid in the amount of) any recoveries actually received by a Indemnified Party under insurance policies (net of (i) any deductibles or other amounts payable with respect thereto, and (ii) the present value of any increases in insurance premiums payable by such Indemnified Party, as determined in good faith by such Indemnified Party); provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to require or obligate any Indemnified Party to seek recovery under any insurance policy with respect to any amount of Losses.
