Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Stock at the Effective Time pursuant to the Exchange Schedule, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange. Each holder of shares of Company Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Closing Date Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares.

In addition to any adjustment set forth in Section 3.03(b), the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued as Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be increased or decreased as follows: (A) increased, by the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient determined by dividing (1) the amount by which the Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target, by (2) the Average Closing Price, or (B) decreased, by the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient determined by dividing (1) the amount by which the Working Capital Target exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital, by (2) the Average Closing Price, in either case as such values are determined in accordance with Section 3.03(a).

(d) Post-Closing Merger Consideration. Promptly upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of any Post-Closing Merger Consideration from the Escrow Agent, the Exchange Agent shall, without any action on the part of the holders of the Company Stock, promptly distribute such Post-Closing Merger Consideration to the holders of the Company Stock in accordance with the Exchange Schedule, using the same method and manner of distribution the Exchange Agent used in distributing the Closing Date Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.02.

(e) No Fractional Shares. Parent will issue cash in lieu of issuing factional shares of Parent Common Stock.

(f) Effect of Exchange. All Closing Date Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares (other than with respect to the Post-Closing Merger Consideration), and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article III. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, each Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Stock six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.01(d) prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Stock two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 3.03 Working Capital Adjustments.

(a) Calculation of Closing Adjustment. As soon as practicable before the Closing, but in no event later than 8:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on the date that is seven Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement setting forth its estimation of the Closing Working Capital of the Company (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), upon which the Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be calculated in accordance with

Section 3.02(c). Estimated Closing Working Capital shall (i) be calculated in accordance with GAAP and applied on a basis consistent with the methodology used to prepare the sample Working Capital calculation set forth on Exhibit C, and (ii) include reasonable supporting documentation. Contemporaneously with the delivery of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule detailing all Transaction Expenses.

(b) Calculation of Post-Closing Adjustment. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the each Stockholder Representative a balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) setting forth its calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”), the Post-Closing Adjustment amount, if any, payable in accordance with this Section 3.03, and the aggregate amount of any Gain Contingencies prior to the delivery of Closing Working Capital Statement. For purposes of this Section 3.03, “Post-Closing Adjustment Amount” shall be the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Working Capital, expressed as an absolute value. Closing Working Capital shall (i) be calculated in accordance with GAAP and applied on a basis consistent with the methodology used to prepare the sample Working Capital calculation set forth on Exhibit C, and (ii) include reasonable supporting documentation. The parties agree that the purpose of determining the Closing Working Capital and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 3.03 is to “true-up” differences between Estimated Closing Working Capital and actual Closing Working Capital and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining the Closing Working Capital.

(c) The Stockholder Representatives may dispute the Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Working Capital Statement (and the proposed Post-Closing Adjustment Amount and any calculations contained therein) by delivering a written notice of dispute (a “Notice of Objection”) to Parent no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 30th day after receiving the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement signed by either or both Stockholder Representatives. A Notice of Objection must describe in reasonable detail the items contained in the Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Working Capital Statement that the Stockholder Representatives dispute and the basis for any such disputes. Any items not disputed in the Notice of Objection will be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholder Representatives. Parent and the Stockholder Representatives will use reasonable efforts to resolve any such dispute during the 30 day period commencing on the date Parent receives the Notice of Objection from the Stockholder Representative. If Parent and the Stockholder Representatives do not agree upon a final resolution within such 30 day period, then the items in dispute shall be submitted promptly to a U.S. nationally recognized certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Stockholder Representatives (the “Accounting Firm”). If Parent and the Stockholder Representatives are unable to agree on a U.S. nationally recognized certified public accounting firm to act as the Accounting Firm within 14 days following the end of such 30-day period, then each of Parent and the Stockholder Representatives shall promptly

select an alternative nationally recognized certified public accounting firm and instruct such accounting firms to select a third neutral nationally recognized certified public accounting firm to act as the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to render a determination of the applicable dispute and specify the resulting Post-Closing Adjustment Amount within 30 days after referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon Parent, the Company, the Stockholder Representatives and the Company’s stockholders, shall not be subject to appeal or further review and judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(d) The Accounting Firm shall determine, based solely on presentations, if any, timely made by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, of only those items disputed in the Notice of Objection that have not been agreed upon in writing by the parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm shall be bound by the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Transaction Expenses and Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, and the other requirements of this Section 3.03 and shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party.

(e) Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such disputed items by the Accounting Firm. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid as follows:

(i) Parent shall be responsible for such fees, costs and expenses in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of any disputed items submitted to the Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 3.03 that are successfully disputed by the Stockholder Representatives (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted.

(ii) The Company Indemnifying Stockholders shall be responsible for such fees, costs and expenses (severally and not jointly) in accordance with their respective Allocation Percentages in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of any disputed items submitted to the Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 3.03 that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Stockholder Representatives (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted.

(iii) Parent shall pay all such fees, costs and expenses in cash promptly upon written demand by the Accounting Firm; provided that the Stockholder Representatives and Parent shall, promptly following any such payment, deliver a joint written notice to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release a number of Escrow Shares to Parent equal to the portion of such fees, costs and expenses for which the Company Indemnifying Stockholders are responsible in accordance with clause (ii) above, divided by the Average Closing Price.

(f) Each of Parent, the Stockholder Representatives and the Company agree to cooperate with, make the financial records of the Company available to and otherwise assist each other and their respective accountants and other representatives at reasonable times at any time during the preparation by Parent of, the review by the Stockholder Representatives of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital Statement or the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. Upon the written request signed by either of the Stockholder Representative, Parent and the Company shall promptly make available to the Stockholder Representatives the management and staff of the Company, at reasonable times during normal business hours, and other relevant documents that the Stockholder Representatives may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Closing Working Capital Statement.

(g) The Post-Closing Adjustment Amount shall be calculated in accordance with Section 3.03, and shall equal (i) the amount agreed to as the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount at any time in writing by Parent and the Stockholder Representatives; (ii) if the Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Working Capital Statement is not delivered by Parent within the time period required by Section 3.03, $0; (iii) if a Notice of Objection is not delivered by either the Stockholder Representative to the Company within the time period required by Section 3.03, the proposed Post-Closing Adjustment Amount set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement; or (iv) the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount as set forth in the written determination of the Accounting Firm made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03.

(h) After the determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with this Section 3.03, (i) if the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is positive, then, within five Business Days following such determination, Parent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount payable in additional shares of Parent Common Stock (based on the Average Closing Price) for distribution to the holders of the Company Stock in accordance with the Exchange Schedule and Section 3.02(d), and (ii) if the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is negative, then within five Business Days following such determination, Parent and the Stockholder Representatives shall promptly instruct the Escrow Agent by written notice to release to Parent an amount equal to the positive difference if any of (A) the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, minus (B) the aggregate the amount of any Gain Contingencies actually realized by the Surviving Corporation prior to the final determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, which net amount shall payable in Escrow Shares (based on the Average Closing Price).

Section 3.07 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article III.

Parent and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Parent has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for Parent and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which Parent’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. Parent’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for Parent’s most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year-end (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). Parent presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) or, to Parent’s knowledge, in other factors that would materially affect Parent’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)).

Section 5.19 Listing and Maintenance Requirements. Except as specified in the SEC Reports and in Section 5.19 of the Disclosure Schedule, Parent has not, in the two years preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that Parent is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements thereof. Parent is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Parent Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the Parent Common Stock is currently listed or quoted.

Section 5.20 Investment Company. Parent is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately following the Effective Time will not have become, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 5.21 Accountants. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by Parent to arise, between the accountants formerly or presently employed by Parent, that would, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.22 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Neither Parent nor any Subsidiary of Parent, nor to the knowledge of Parent, any agent or other person acting on behalf of any of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, has, directly or indirectly, (i) used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent (or made by any Person acting on their behalf of which Parent is aware) which is in violation of Law, or (iv) has violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 5.23 Proxy Statement. None of the information included or incorporated by reference in the letter to the stockholders, notice of meeting, proxy statement and forms of proxy (collectively, the “Parent Proxy Statement”), to be circulated in connection with the Merger, will, at the date it is first mailed to Parent’s stockholders or at the time of Parent Stockholders Meeting or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation or warranty is made by Parent with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by the Company or the Stockholder Representatives expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in Parent Proxy Statement.

Section 5.24 No Omissions or Misstatements. None of the representations or warranties of Parent and Merger Sub included in this Article V as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule contains any untrue statement of a material fact or is misleading in any material respect or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make any of the statements in this Agreement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made.

In order to determine the validity and/or the amount of any such claim, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide the Stockholder Representatives and his representatives reasonable access, upon the reasonable request of the Stockholder Representatives, to (i) all books, records and other documents (including work papers, memoranda, financial statements, Tax Returns, Tax schedules and work papers, Tax rulings, and other determinations, etc.) relating to or containing information relevant to such claim and (ii) the Surviving Corporation’s employees, accountants and other professional advisors (including making the Surviving Corporation’s chief financial officer, accountants and attorneys available to respond to reasonable written or oral inquiries of either or both of the Stockholder Representatives and their representatives).

Section 9.07 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of a claim or demand made by any other Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after receipt, by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Company Stockholders) shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation on any claims contained in Section 9.02 and Section 9.03. Should an Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Stockholder Representatives (on behalf of the Indemnifying Company Stockholders) are the Indemnifying Parties, the reasonable and documented expenses of the Stockholder Representatives incurred in defending a Third-Party Claim (or any participation in a Third-Party Claim that could result in Damages to the Stockholder Representatives) shall

be reimbursed, when and as incurred. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third-Party Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party shall have elected not to assume the defense of or fails to confirm its obligation to indemnify for a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) This Section 9.07 shall not apply to claims for Damages asserted directly by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party where no Third-Party Claim has been made.

Section 9.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment made pursuant to this Article IX (including, without limitation, this Section 9.08) is determined to be taxable to the party receiving such payment by any Governmental Entity, the paying party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any Taxes incurred by reason of receipt of such payment (taking into account any actual reduction in Tax liability to the receiving party) and any Damages incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).

Section 9.09 Additional Provisions.

(a) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be reduced by (i) any amounts that may be recovered by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates from any third party, (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or source of reimbursement that are actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Damages, and (iii) the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in the year the Damages are incurred. For purposes hereof, a Tax benefit will be deemed to be “actually realized” only to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable by the Indemnified Party is reduced below the amount of Taxes that the Indemnified Party would have been required to pay but for payment or accrual of the indemnified Damages or the receipt or accrual of the indemnity payment (rather than just creating or increasing a Tax loss carryforward). In computing the amount of any

such Tax benefit, (A) the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Damages, and (B) the Tax benefit shall be reduced to take into account any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder.

(b) If the amount of any Damages actually paid to an Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnification claim is required to be reduced under Section 9.09(a) after the date on which the Indemnifying Party pays such indemnification claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article IX had such reduction been determined at or prior to the time of such payment.

The identity of the Stockholder Representatives and the terms of the agency may be changed, and successor Stockholder Representatives may be appointed, from time to time (including in the event of the death, disability or other incapacity of the either Stockholder Representative) by Indemnifying Company Stockholders entitled under this Agreement to receive more than fifty percent (50%) of the Merger Consideration, and any such successor shall succeed the Stockholder Representatives as a Stockholder Representatives hereunder. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representatives, and the Stockholder Representatives shall receive no compensation for his services.

(b) The Stockholder Representatives shall not be liable for any Damages incurred by the Stockholder Representatives while acting in good faith and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith). Each Indemnifying Company Stockholder (in accordance with the Allocation Percentage of such Indemnifying Company Stockholder) agrees to indemnify the Stockholder Representatives against liability for any action taken or not taken by him in his capacity as such agent. In such event, the Escrow Shares being released to the Indemnifying Company Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (prior to distribution to the Indemnifying Company Stockholders) shall be available to indemnify and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any Damages incurred by the Stockholder Representatives without bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representatives and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his, her or its duties under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Stockholder Representatives shall be entitled to recover any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with actions taken by them pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (including the hiring of legal counsel and the incurring of legal fees and costs) from the Escrow Shares being released to the Indemnifying Company Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (prior to distribution to the Indemnifying Company Stockholders), without the requirement of any consent or approval by Parent.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide the Stockholder Representatives with reasonable access to information about the Surviving Corporation and the reasonable assistance of the officers and employees of Parent and the Surviving Corporation for purposes of performing their duties and exercising their rights under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, a decision, act, consent or instruction of either Stockholder Representative shall constitute a decision of all Company stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each Company stockholder, and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of a Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each of the Company stockholders. Parent and Surviving Corporation are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by the Stockholder Representative and any acts done by Parent or Surviving Corporation in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of a Representative.
