The Indemnity Escrow will be withheld from the holders of the Outstanding Mentorix Shares based on the pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration that is payable to each such holder pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement. The exact amount of the Indemnity Escrow held for the account of each Mentorix shareholder will be determined at the Closing by Mentorix in consultation with Parent. The approval of this Agreement by shareholders of Mentorix will also constitute their approval of the Indemnity Escrow and the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement, which are integral terms of the Merger.

2.3 Dissenting Shares. Any holder of shares of Mentorix Capital Stock that are outstanding on the record date for the determination of which holders will be entitled to vote for or against the Merger who did not vote such shares in favor of the Merger or sign and deliver a written consent thereto with respect to such shares (the shares of Mentorix Capital Stock then outstanding that are not thus voted or as to which such consents are not signed and delivered are referred to as “Dissenting Shares”) will be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares provided that such holder meets all of the requirements of the CGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares, and will not be entitled to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration, unless otherwise provided by the CGCL or agreed in writing by Parent. Mentorix will, after consultation with Parent, give such notices with respect to dissenters’ rights as may be required by the CGCL as soon as practicable.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate American Stock Transfer & Trust Company or such other bank or trust company mutually acceptable to Parent and Mentorix (the “Paying Agent”) to act as agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of any certificate or instrument representing shares of Mentorix Capital Stock (a “Certificate”), and, at the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash in the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration (less the Indemnity Escrow) for the payment of the Merger Consideration to the former shareholders of Mentorix in accordance with Section 2.1 upon surrender of Certificates held by such shareholders. Any and all interest earned on funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be the property of the Parent and turned over to Parent by the Paying Agent.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a counterpart of the Escrow Agreement, (ii) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate(s) held by such person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificate(s) to the Paying Agent and shall be in a form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify), (iii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate(s) in exchange for the Merger Consideration and (iv) such other documentation as may be reasonably required by Parent or the Paying Agent to effect a transfer of such Certificate(s). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such duly executed counterpart of the Escrow Agreement, duly completed and executed letter of transmittal, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Parent or the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate, subject to Section 2.2, shall promptly receive in exchange therefor in cash, the amount into which the Outstanding Mentorix Shares formerly represented by such Certificate shall have been converted in accordance with Section 2.1, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled (it being acknowledged that such surrender may occur at the Closing). In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares that is not registered in the stock transfer books of Mentorix, payment may be made to a person

other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate. The approval of this Agreement by shareholders of Mentorix will also constitute their approval of the terms and provisions of the letter of transmittal. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming same to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and receipt of a customary indemnity, in form reasonably acceptable to Parent, against any claim that would be made against Parent with respect to such Certificate, Parent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the cash deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) None of Parent, Merger Sub, Mentorix or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to two years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or became the property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.4)), any such Merger Consideration in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(d) Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Mentorix Capital Stock acquired upon exercise of Mentorix Stock Options such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Mentorix Capital Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

2.5 No Further Ownership Rights in Mentorix Capital Stock. The Merger and its approval by the shareholders of Mentorix and the execution of this Agreement will be deemed, at the Effective Time, to constitute full satisfaction and termination of all rights and agreements pertaining to Mentorix Capital Stock pursuant to the CGCL, by contract or otherwise. After the Effective Time, there will be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Mentorix of Mentorix Capital Stock or exercises of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Mentorix Capital Stock. Until surrendered to Parent, each certificate representing Outstanding Mentorix Shares will, after the Effective Time,

represent only the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration as provided for in this Agreement.

2.6 Stock Options. All Mentorix Options (as defined in Section 3.2) that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and do not expire pursuant to their terms on or before the Closing are specifically identified on Section 3.2 of the Mentorix Disclosure Schedule (as defined below). Parent will not assume any such outstanding Mentorix Options and, on or prior to the Closing, Mentorix will cause all such outstanding Mentorix Options to either be exercised or canceled (by written agreement with each holder of such outstanding Mentorix Option to be canceled).

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification Relating to Agreement. Subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.5, the Shareholders and, as an integral term of the Merger, all other shareholders of Mentorix who accept any portion of the Merger Consideration and execute the Escrow Agreement (which is a condition to receiving such consideration), jointly and severally (except with respect to Article IV, which obligations shall be several), hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold Parent harmless from and against, and to reimburse Parent with respect to, any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, judgments, settlements, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any increases in insurance premiums resulting from such losses, damages, liabilities, claims, judgments, settlements, fines, costs and expenses but net of any insurance proceeds received by Parent or any affiliate of Parent), determined as provided in Section 10.3 (“Indemnifiable Amounts”), of every nature whatsoever incurred by Parent (which will be deemed to include any of the foregoing incurred by the Surviving Corporation) by reason of or arising out of or in connection with (i) any breach, or any claim (including claims by parties other than Parent) that constitutes a breach by Mentorix, Mentorix India or any of the Shareholders of any representation or warranty of Mentorix, Mentorix India or the Shareholders contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered to Parent pursuant to this Agreement, other than any breach or related claim taken or not taken at the written direction of or after consultation with and written concurrence of Parent, (ii) the failure, partial or total, of Mentorix, Mentorix India or any of the Shareholders to perform any agreement or covenant required by this Agreement to be performed by it or them other than any breach or related claim taken or not taken at the written direction of or after consultation with and written concurrence of Parent and (iii) any foreign or U.S. federal or state Tax liability, or asserted liability, of Mentorix or Mentorix India attributable to periods (or any portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing but only to the extent such liabilities were not accrued for on the Audited Balance Sheet. The foregoing obligations to indemnify Parent will be determined without regard to any right to indemnification to which any Person may have in his or her capacity as an officer, director, employee, agent or any other capacity of Mentorix, and no shareholder of Mentorix will be entitled to any indemnification from Mentorix or the Surviving Corporation for amounts paid hereunder. There will be no right of contribution or subrogation from Parent or the Surviving Corporation for indemnification payments made by or for the account of the shareholders. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

10.2 Third Party Claims. With respect to any claims or demands by third parties as to which Parent may seek indemnification hereunder, whenever Parent will have received a written notice that such a claim or demand has been asserted or threatened, Parent will promptly notify the Shareholder Representatives on behalf of all the shareholders of Mentorix of such claim or demand and of the facts within Parent’s knowledge that relate thereto within a reasonable time after receiving such written notice. Parent will have the right to defend, contest, negotiate or settle any such claim or demand, and Parent will have the right to contest and/or settle any such claim or demand and seek indemnification pursuant to this Article X as to any Indemnifiable Amounts; provided, however, that Parent will not settle, compromise, or offer to settle or

compromise any such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representatives, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Alternately, Parent may request that the Shareholder Representatives defend, contest, negotiate or settle any such claim or demand through counsel of their own selection, reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and solely at the shareholders’ own cost and expense. If the Shareholder Representatives assume the defense of any claim or demand of any third party, the Shareholder Representatives will not settle, compromise, or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of Parent from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding. However, if the Shareholder Representatives assume the defense of any claim or demand of any third party and if Parent later determines in good faith that such claim or demand is likely to materially adversely affect it or its business (it being understood that any claim relating to Taxes shall be deemed to materially adversely affect Parent), then Parent may, by written notice to the Shareholder Representatives, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such claim or demand. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Parent will not settle, or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representatives, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If the Shareholder Representatives fail to give written notice to Parent of their intention to contest or settle any such claim or demand within twenty (20) calendar days after Parent requested that the Shareholder Representatives assume the defense of any such claim or demand of any third party, or if any such request is made but any such claim or demand is not contested by the Shareholder Representatives within a reasonable time thereafter, Parent will have the right to contest and/or settle any such claim or demand in its sole discretion and seek indemnification pursuant to this Article X as to any Indemnifiable Amounts.

10.3 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article X, Parent will be entitled to indemnification only to the extent that the aggregate Indemnifiable Amounts (which shall be determined for all purposes of this Article X disregarding any qualification in any representation or warranty as to “materially” or “material”) exceed $100,000 (the “Deductible Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deductible Amount shall not apply with respect to any claims for indemnification by Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(i) with respect to any failure of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.12 and 3.15 to be true and correct as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii) and Parent shall be entitled to indemnification for all Indemnifiable Amounts arising under Section 10.1(i) with respect to any failure of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 3.12 and 3.15 to be true and correct as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii).

(b) The aggregate amount to which Parent will be entitled to be indemnified will not exceed $15,000,000, and the liability of any single shareholder of Mentorix for indemnification obligations shall be further limited to such shareholder’s

pro rata share of any Indemnifiable Amounts based on the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration paid to such shareholder (including amounts paid to the Escrow Agent for the benefit of such shareholder) relative to the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration paid to all the shareholders of Mentorix (including amounts paid to the Escrow Agent for the benefit of all such shareholders); provided, however, that there will be no limitation on the obligations of any person for Indemnifiable Amounts arising out of criminal activity or fraud or willful misstatements or omissions by Mentorix or such person.

10.4 Binding Effect. The indemnification obligations contained in this Article X are an integral part of this Agreement and the Merger in the absence of which Parent would not have entered into this Agreement.

10.5 Time Limit. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Mentorix and the Shareholders set forth in this Agreement will survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but any claims with respect thereto may be made only on or before June 30, 2004; provided, however, that (i) claims alleging fraud or willful misstatements or omissions of Mentorix or the Shareholders or relating to Section 3.23 (Environment Matters) may be made only on or before the third yearly anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) claims relating to Tax matters or Section 3.18 (Employee Benefit Plans) may be made only on or before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Article X shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right to indemnity shall have been given in good faith to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.

10.6 Sole Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article X will be the sole and exclusive remedy of (and corresponding liability of any shareholder of Mentorix, in such shareholder’s capacity as such, to) Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation for any damage, claim, cause of action or right of any nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the certificates or other documents executed or delivered herewith, or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to limit any right or remedy for criminal activity or fraud, or willful misstatements or omissions.

10.7 Escrow. Parent’s claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article X shall be satisfied first from funds withheld or deposited and held in escrow pursuant to Section 2.2 and, to the extent the funds held in escrow are insufficient for any reason to pay all such claims, directly by the shareholders of Mentorix. The procedure for payments from the Indemnity Escrow shall be governed by the Escrow Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, Parent and the Shareholders agree to treat all payments made either to or for the benefit of the other under this Article X as adjustments to the

purchase price for all tax purposes, and that such treatment shall govern for purposes of this Agreement.

10.8 Shareholder Representatives.

(a) In order to administer the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders under this Article X, the Shareholders hereby designate and appoint ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Shareholder Representatives”), and each of them acting separately, as their representatives for purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other agreements and transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and as attorneys-in-fact and agents for and on behalf of such Stockholders.

The Shareholder Representatives shall send copies of notices it receives to the applicable Shareholder.

(c) In the event that any Shareholder Representatives dies, becomes unable to perform his responsibilities as Shareholder Representative or resigns from such position, the Shareholders shall select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted Shareholder Representative shall be deemed to be a Shareholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Any substitute Shareholder Representative shall be selected by the majority vote of the Shareholders based upon their percentage ownership of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Mentorix as of the Closing Date (the “Majority Shareholders”). Any Shareholder Representative may be removed, and his successor appointed, by the written vote of the Majority Shareholders.

(d) All decisions and actions by the Shareholder Representatives, including without limitation any agreement between the Shareholder Representatives or Parent relating to indemnification obligations of the Shareholders under this Article X, including the defense or settlement of any claims and the making of payments with respect hereto, shall be binding upon all of the Shareholders, and no Shareholders shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Shareholder Representatives shall incur no liability to the Shareholders with respect to any action taken or suffered by the Shareholder Representatives in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other documents believed by them to be genuinely and duly authorized, nor for any other action or inaction with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders under this Article X, including the defense or settlement of any claims and the making of payments with respect thereto,

except to the extent resulting from the Shareholder Representatives’ own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Shareholder Representatives may, in all questions arising under this Agreement rely on the advice of counsel, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Shareholder Representatives shall not be liable to the Shareholders.

(e) Parent shall be able to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Shareholder Representatives with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders under this Article X, including the defense or settlement of any claims or the making of payments with respect thereto, or as to any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholder Representatives hereunder, and no party hereunder shall have any cause of action against Parent to the extent Parent has relied upon the instructions or decisions of the Shareholder Representatives.

(f) The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the Shareholder Representatives may incur reasonable costs and expenses on behalf of the Shareholders in their capacity as Shareholder Representatives (“Representative Expenses”). Each of the Shareholders agrees to pay the Shareholder Representatives, promptly upon demand by the Shareholder Representatives therefor, its portion of any Representative Expenses.
