1.6 Stock Options.

(a) At the Effective Time of Merger I, by virtue of Merger I and in accordance with the Company’s 2000 Stock Plan, 2001 Officer Stock Plan, 2001 Non-U.S. Plan and 2001 California Plan (such plans collectively referred to as the “Company Stock Plans”), and without any action on the part of the parties hereto, each stock option that is then outstanding under the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested (a “Company Option”), shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Company Stock Plans, the stock option agreement by which such Company Option is evidenced (including any amendments thereto) and this Agreement (the “Assumed Company Option”). All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under outstanding Company Options shall thereupon be converted into a right to receive cash and Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time of Merger I, (i) each Assumed Company Option may be exercised solely for cash and shares of Parent Common Stock with respect to the Assumed Company Option, (ii) the amount of cash subject to each Assumed Company Option shall equal the difference between (A) the product of the Company Common Cash Conversion Ratio multiplied by the Company Option Shares minus (B) the product of the Company Option Shares multiplied by the Exercise Price Per Share multiplied by the Cash Ratio, (iii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Assumed Company Option shall equal the product of the Company Common Stock Conversion Ratio multiplied by the Company Option Shares, (iv) the per share exercise price applicable to each such Assumed Company Option shall equal the product (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of (A) the quotient of the Exercise Price Per Share divided by the Company Common Stock Conversion Ratio multiplied by (B) the Stock Ratio and (v) all rights and restrictions on the exercise of each Company Option including the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and all other provisions of such Company Option shall continue in full force and effect and apply to the Assumed Company Option. It is the intention of the parties that the portion of the Assumed Company Option that will become an option for Parent Common Stock qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time of the Mergers as incentive stock options (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) to the extent such Assumed Options qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time of Merger I. The Company and Parent shall take all commercially reasonable action that may be necessary (under the Company Stock Plans and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6(a). Following the Closing, Parent will send to each holder of an Assumed Company Option a written notice setting forth (1) the amount of cash subject to such Assumed Company Option, (2) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Assumed Company Option and (3) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Company Option. Parent shall file with the SEC, promptly after the Closing Date, and in any event within five (5) business days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the Parent Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the

Assumed Company Options. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate promptly following the Closing online option exercises and stock trading by the Continuing Employees (as defined in Section 6.8(b)), consistent with the system Parent uses with its current employees and policies applicable to current employees of Parent. For purposes of this Section, the term “Company Option Shares” means the number of shares exercisable (without regard to the vesting requirements of such Company Option) under a Company Option as of the time immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger I (rounded down to the nearest cent). For purposes of this Section, the term “Cash Ratio” means the quotient of the Gross Cash Option Consideration divided by the Gross Option Consideration. For purposes of this Section, the term “Gross Cash Option Consideration” means the product of the Company Option Shares multiplied by the Company Common Cash Conversion Ratio. For purposes of this Section, the term “Gross Stock Option Consideration” means the product of the Company Option Shares multiplied by the Company Common Stock Conversion Ratio multiplied by the Parent Average Stock Price. For purposes of this Section, the term “Gross Option Consideration” means the sum of the Gross Cash Option Consideration plus the Gross Stock Option Consideration.

provided, however, that the Indemnitors shall not be obligated to hold harmless and indemnify any Indemnitee for Damages related to the matter in clause “(iv)” to the extent such Damages were directly caused by actions taken by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, either of their Subsidiaries or any of their customers from and after the Closing;

(c) The Indemnitors acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages 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 Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach. Any claims of the Surviving Corporation will be governed as Parent’s claims are governed under this Section 10, including the limitations imposed by Section 10.3.

10.3 Exclusive Remedy.

With the exception of claims made pursuant to Section 10.2(a), from and after the Closing, recourse of Parent and any other Indemnitee to the Special Escrow Fund pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and any other Indemnitees for monetary Damages for matters identified in Section 10.2(b) (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall effect Parent’s rights to equitable remedies to the extent available). In no event shall there be multiple recovery for any Damages incurred, and an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to recover from the Indemnitors to the extent that such Indemnitee has sought and received reimbursement for Damages under an insurance policy maintained by the Company prior to the Closing.

67.

Each Indemnitor waives, and acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), 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 he, she or it may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or the Company Closing Certificate except for any rights to indemnification that an officer, agent or director may have pursuant to Section 6.10.

10.6 Interest. Any Indemnitor who is required to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10 with respect to any Damages shall also be liable to such Indemnitee for interest on the amount of such Damages (for the period commencing as of the date on which such Indemnitee first suffered Damages and ending on the date on which the liability of such Indemnitor to such Indemnitee is fully satisfied by such Indemnitor) at a floating rate equal to the rate of interest publicly announced by Bank of America, N.T. & S.A. from time to time as its prime, base or reference rate.

10.7 Defense of Third Party Claims.

If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding:

(a) all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnitors (exclusively out of (i) the General Escrow Fund with respect to claims related to Section 10.2(a) or (ii) the Special Escrow Fund with respect to claims related to Section 10.2(b));

Parent shall give the Stockholders’ Agents prompt notice of the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding against Parent or the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Parent to so notify the Stockholders’ Agents shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitors under this Section 10 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding). Any and all expenses relating to the defense of any claim or Legal Proceeding related to Section 10.2(a) and any payments made to settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding shall be paid exclusively from the General Escrow Fund. Any and all expenses relating to the defense of any claim or Legal Proceeding related to Section 10.2(b) and any payments made to settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding shall be paid exclusively from the Special Escrow Fund.

68.

10.8 Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees Other Than Parent. No Indemnitee (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

10.9 Arbitration. Notwithstanding Section 11.6, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Section 10 shall be determined by arbitration in the County of Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ or San Francisco in the State of California, before a sole arbitrator, in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware for agreements made in and to be performed in that state. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

11.1 Stockholders’ Agents. The Indemnitors hereby appoint ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ as their agent for purposes of this Agreement (the “Primary Stockholders’ Agent”), and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ hereby accepts his appointment as the Primary Stockholders’ Agent. The Indemnitors hereby appoint ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as their secondary agent for purposes of this Agreement (the “Secondary Stockholders’ Agent,” and together with the Primary Stockholders’ Agent, the “Stockholders’ Agents”), and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby accepts his appointment as the Secondary Stockholders’ Agent. Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Primary Stockholders’ Agent on all matters relating to this Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Indemnitor by the Primary Stockholders’ Agent, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Indemnitor by the Primary Stockholders’ Agent, as fully binding upon such Indemnitor. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, the Primary Stockholders’ Agent shall not take any action binding the Indemnitors without the consent of the Secondary Stockholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Primary Stockholders’ Agent shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable or unwilling to fulfill his responsibilities as agent of the Indemnitors, then the Indemnitors constituting the recipients of a majority in interest of the Merger Consideration shall, within twenty (20) days after such death, disability or resignation, appoint a successor agent and, promptly thereafter, shall notify Parent of the identity of such successor. If the successor is appointed as described herein, no notice to any other Indemnitor shall be required. Any such successor shall become the “Primary Stockholders’ Agent” for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If for any reason there is no Primary Stockholders’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Indemnitors. If the Secondary Stockholders’ Agent shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable or unwilling to fulfill his responsibilities, then T.A. Associates shall, within twenty (20) days after such death, disability or resignation, appoint a successor agent and, within five (5) business days thereafter, shall notify Parent and the Escrow Agent of the identity of such successor. If the successor is appointed as described herein, no notice to any other Indemnitor shall be required. Any such successor shall become the Secondary Stockholders’ Agent for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. For such time as there is no Secondary Stockholders’ Agent, due to T.A. Associates’ failure to appoint such Secondary Stockholders’ Agent or otherwise, the Primary Stockholders’ Agent may act without the consent of the Secondary Stockholders’ Agent. Neither Stockholders’ Agent shall be responsible for any act done or omitted thereunder as a Stockholders’ Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Indemnitors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Primary Stockholders’ Agent and hold the Primary Stockholders’ Agent harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without recklessness, bad faith or intentional misconduct on the part of the Primary Stockholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Primary Stockholders’

69.

Agent’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel or other professional retained by the Stockholders’ Agent. By virtue of their adoption of this Agreement, the Indemnitors hereby agree to pay the costs and expenses of the Primary Stockholders’ Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of the Primary Stockholders’ Agent’s duties hereunder. The Primary Stockholders’ Agent shall be reimbursed for such costs and expenses by making a claim against an Escrow Fund, to the extent that such Escrow Fund on its Release Date contains sufficient funds after resolution of all claims made against such Escrow Fund by any Indemnitees. The Secondary Stockholders’ Agent will bear all of his own fees and costs.

11.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.3 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received when delivered (a) by hand or (b) one (1) business day after being sent by registered mail, by courier or express delivery service or by facsimile (with a hard copy sent in the manner provided herein) to the address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address or facsimile telephone number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):
