Section 2.4 Consideration.

(a) In connection with the Merger, PubCo shall:

(i) Reserve an aggregate of 22,610,906 shares of PubCo Common Stock to be used in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Of the aforementioned amount, issue an aggregate of 11,481,958 shares of PubCo Common Stock to the Company Stockholders on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholders immediately prior to the Merger), whereby upon completion of the Merger, the Company Stockholders shall collectively be the majority owners of PubCo and the Company shall be a wholly-owned and operating subsidiary of PubCo. The remaining 11,128,948 reserved shares shall be used to satisfy obligations under the Company Incentive Plan and the Company’s existing warrants, options, restricted stock purchase agreements and all other convertible securities as contemplated under Section 2.4(a)(iii).

(ii) Assume all obligations of the Company under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Company Incentive Plan”). The Parties shall take such steps as may be reasonable or appropriate to document such assumption and to provide that, at the Effective Time, the Company Incentive Plan shall become the fully effective stock incentive plan of PubCo.

(iii) Assume all obligations of the Company under the Company’s current outstanding warrants, options, restricted stock purchase agreements and all other convertible securities set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. The Parties shall take such steps as may be reasonable or appropriate to document such assumption and to provide that, at the Effective Time, all assumed warrants, options, restricted stock purchase agreements and all other convertible securities of the Company shall be exercisable or convertible into shares of PubCo Common Stock according to the same terms and conditions as set forth in such warrants, options, restricted stock purchase agreements and all other convertible securities.

(iii) At the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of PubCo, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person, the Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into and become a right to receive the Merger Shares. Each holder of a certificate representing any such Company Common Stock shall, to the extent such certificate represents such Company Common Stock, cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock, except the right to receive the Merger Shares. In calculating the number of Merger Shares to issue to the Company Stockholders, fractional shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Section 2.5 Closing of Transfer Books.

At the Effective Time, each Company Stockholder shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company and shall not have any rights as a stockholder or otherwise with respect to the Surviving Corporation (except the right to receive the Merger Shares), and the transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of the Company Common Stock shall be made on such transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate or other instrument previously representing any share of Company Common Stock is presented to PubCo, such certificate or other instrument shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

Section 2.6 Effect on Company Common Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Company Common Stock shall, except for with respect to any Dissenting Shares, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder thereof, automatically be canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the Merger Shares.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts shall be payable at or after the Effective Time with respect to any Dissenting Shares. In the case of Dissenting Shares, payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 2.7 Certificate Legends.

The Merger Shares to be issued pursuant to this Article II shall not have been registered under any applicable Securities Laws and shall be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal Securities Laws and any applicable state Securities Laws. As a result, the Merger Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state Securities Laws only in certain limited circumstances. Each certificate evidencing Merger Shares to be issued pursuant to this Article II shall bear the following legend:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

Section 2.8 Tax and Accounting Consequences.

For Federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and the Parties shall report the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents consistent with such intent and shall take no position in any Tax filing or Legal Proceeding inconsistent therewith. The Parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations. None of PubCo, Merger Sub or the Company has taken or failed to take, and after the Effective Time, PubCo and the Surviving Corporation shall not take or fail to take, any action which reasonably could be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party or person having the indemnity obligation under this Article VIII (the “Indemnifying Party”), shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Party or Person entitled to indemnity under this Article VIII (the “Indemnified Party”), only with respect to any Indemnity Claims of which the Indemnified Party notifies with specificity the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 9.9 of this Agreement and, if applicable, within the following time period: (i) with regard to any representation or warranty under this Agreement, prior to the end of the Survival Period of such representation or warranty (unless such Indemnity Claim relates to a claim arising prior to the termination of the Survival Period, in which case the time period shall be extended to thirty days after such Indemnity Claim is first received by an Indemnified Party); or (ii) with regard to any covenant under this Agreement which by its terms expires, prior to the end of the survival period relating to such covenant (unless such Indemnity Claim relates to a claim arising prior to the termination of the applicable survival period, in which case the time period shall be extended to thirty days after such Indemnity Claim is first received by an Indemnified Party).

Section 8.5 Notice and Procedural Requirements for Third Party Claims.

If a complaint, claim or legal action is brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 9.9 of this Agreement promptly after the Indemnified Party receives notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of any letter, complaint or similar writing received by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that any failure to provide or delay in providing such information shall not constitute a bar or defense to indemnification except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election so to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim except as hereinafter provided. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such defense and select counsel, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense through its own separate counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party unless: (i) otherwise specifically agreed by the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party determines that because of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party such counsel for the Indemnifying Party cannot adequately represent both Parties in conducting the defense of such action. In the event the Indemnified Party maintains separate counsel because counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party has determined that such counsel cannot adequately represent both Parties because of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Third Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

The failure of the Indemnifying Party to notify an Indemnified Party of its election to defend such Third Party Claim within thirty days after notice thereof was given to the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its rights to defend such Third Party Claim.

If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the obligations of the Indemnifying Party shall include taking all steps necessary in the defense of such Third Party Claim and holding the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Damages caused or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnified Party or any judgment in connection with the claim or litigation.

If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.5, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided further, that the Indemnifying Party may not withhold such consent unless it has provided security of a type and in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party for the payment of its indemnification obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount of Damages caused or arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such Third Party Claim, and for all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claim.

The Indemnifying Party may settle any Third Party Claim in its sole discretion without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, provided that such settlement involves only the payment of cash by the Indemnifying Party to the claimant and does not impose any other obligation on the Indemnifying Party or any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party.

Section 8.6 Notice and Procedural Requirements for Direct Claims.

Any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which do not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof in accordance with Section 9.9 of this Agreement; provided, however, that any failure to provide, or delay in providing, such notification shall not constitute a bar or defense to indemnification except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby. After receiving notice of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party rejects such claim or does not respond within such thirty-day period (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim), the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.

Section 8.7 Limitations

(a) Timely Notice. No Party shall be liable for any Damages pursuant to this Article VIII with respect to a claim based on a breach by such Party for any representation and warranty given by such Party in this Agreement unless a claim for indemnification of such Damages is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the Survival Period for the representation and warranty underlying such claim.

(b) Threshold. No Party shall be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII until the aggregate Damages incurred by such Indemnified Party exceed $100,000, in which event the entire aggregate amount of such Damages shall be indemnifiable, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.7(c).

(c) Limitation of Damages. The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify PubCo pursuant to Section 8.2 for Damages in excess of the value of the Merger Shares received by the Company and Company Stockholders in connection with the Merger pursuant to Section 2.4. Except as provided in Section 8.7(e), PubCo shall not be obligated to indemnify the Company pursuant to Section 8.3 for Damages in excess of the value of the Merger Shares received by the Company and Company Stockholders in connection with the Merger pursuant to Section 2.4.

(d) Exclusive Remedy. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to each Indemnified Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
