This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (as amended or modified in accordance with its terms, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 23, 2012 by and among Accelrys, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Aardvark Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Aegis Analytical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) of the holders of Company Capital Stock and Management Contributors. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

B. The board of directors of Parent has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and has determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, Parent and its stockholders.

C. The board of directors of Merger Sub has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and has determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, Merger Sub and Parent as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub.

D. The board of directors of the Company has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and has determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

If the Delaware Secretary requires any changes to the Certificate of Merger as a condition to filing or issuing a certificate to the effect that the Merger is effective, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall execute any necessary document incorporating such changes, provided such changes are not inconsistent with and do not result in any material change to the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1 Merger Consideration.

(a) The aggregate amount of consideration payable by Parent in connection with the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) shall consist of the Net Closing Consideration (including the Designated Warrant Consideration), subject in each case to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article II.

(i) No later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent an unaudited pro forma estimated balance sheet for the Company as of 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), together with an estimated, itemized calculation, based on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, of the Working Capital Amount as of 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital Amount”). Each of the line items comprising the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP using the same accounting principles, policies and methods as were historically used by the Company in preparing each of the line items comprising the Company Balance Sheet. The Company shall thereafter provide Parent with access to the working papers of the Company relating to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the resulting calculation of the Estimated Working Capital Amount, as well as any other information used in preparing the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet as is reasonably requested by Parent.

(ii) At any time prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall have the right to object to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet or the Estimated Working Capital Amount by

-3-

delivering written notice of such objection to the Company. If Parent does not provide such written notice of objection to the Company, then the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Working Capital Amount shall, subject to Section 2.1(a)(iv), be deemed accepted by Parent, and the Estimated Adjustment Amount shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) based thereon. If, on the other hand, Parent provides such written notice of objection to the Company, then Representatives of Parent and the Company shall meet as promptly as practicable to discuss in good faith the proper Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the proper Estimated Working Capital Amount and the resulting calculation of the proper Estimated Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii); provided, however, that if such Representatives of Parent and the Company are unable to agree in good faith prior to the Closing Date on the proper Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the proper Estimated Working Capital Amount and the resulting calculation of the proper Estimated Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii), then for purposes of calculating the Estimated Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) the Estimated Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be equal to the lesser of: (a) the Estimated Working Capital Amount as presented by the Company; and (b) the Target Working Capital Amount.

(iii) The “Estimated Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount equal to: (a) $0 if the Estimated Working Capital Amount is equal to or greater than the Target Working Capital Amount and (b) if the Estimated Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Working Capital Amount, the absolute value of the difference of (1) the Target Working Capital Amount, minus (2) the Estimated Working Capital Amount (the “Estimated Working Capital Shortfall”).

(iv) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative an unaudited balance sheet for the Company as of 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet”), together with an itemized calculation, based on the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet, of the Working Capital Amount as of 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Reviewed Working Capital Amount”). The Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP using the same accounting principles, policies and methods as were historically used by the Company in preparing the Company Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet in connection with the calculation of each of the line items reflected thereon.

(v) If the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet or Parent’s calculation of the Reviewed Working Capital Amount, then during the thirty (30) days following the date of the Stockholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall each provide the Stockholders’ Representative with access to the working papers of Parent and the Surviving Corporation relating to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the resulting calculation of the Reviewed Working Capital Amount, as well as any other information as is reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Representative. The Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the resulting calculation of the Reviewed Working Capital Amount shall become final and binding at the end of such thirty (30) day period unless, prior to the end of such period, the Stockholders’ Representative has delivered to Parent written notice of its disagreement with such Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the resulting calculation of the Reviewed Working Capital Amount (a “Disagreement Notice”), specifying the nature and amount of any disputed item, to the extent

-4-

then known. Provided that Parent has provided the Stockholders’ Representative with access to the working papers of Parent and the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the first sentence of this subsection (v), the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts in the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet not specifically referenced in the Disagreement Notice, and, absent manifest error, such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(vi) below.

(vi) In the event that any Disagreement Notice is timely provided to Parent pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(v), Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate for a period of thirty (30) days after Parent’s receipt of the Disagreement Notice (or such longer period as Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the Reviewed Working Capital Amount. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet or the Reviewed Working Capital Amount, then an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative) (the “Auditor”) shall be engaged to resolve any remaining disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Reviewed Working Capital Amount. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall instruct the Auditor to determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of the date on which such dispute is referred to the Auditor, whether and to what extent the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Reviewed Working Capital Amount requires adjustment; provided, however, that, absent manifest error, the Auditor shall be authorized to resolve only those items remaining in dispute between Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(a)(v), in each case within the range of the difference between Parent’s position with respect thereto and the Stockholders’ Representative’s position with respect thereto. The fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be divided evenly between Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (solely on behalf of the holders of Company Securities, with the portion of such fees and expenses due from the Stockholders’ Representative being deducted from the Escrow Fund pursuant to joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative delivered to the Escrow Agent).

(vii) The “Final Working Capital Amount” shall be equal to: (a) the Estimated Working Capital Amount, in the event that Parent does not provide a Reviewed Working Capital Amount to the Stockholders’ Representative within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.1(a)(iv); (b) the Reviewed Working Capital Amount, in the event that the Stockholders’ Representative does not provide a Disagreement Notice to Parent within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.1(a)(v); (c) the as-adjusted Reviewed Working Capital Amount as may be agreed to in writing by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, in the event that the Stockholders’ Representative provides a Disagreement Notice to Parent within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.1(a)(v) and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are able to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the Reviewed Working Capital Amount pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.1(a)(vi); or (d) the as-adjusted Reviewed Working Capital Amount as determined by the Auditor pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(vi), in the event that the Stockholders’ Representative provides a Disagreement Notice to Parent within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.1(a)(v) and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet or the Reviewed Working

-5-

Capital Amount pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.1(a)(vi). The Final Working Capital Amount shall be set forth on the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” which shall be: (w) the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, in the event that Parent does not provide a Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet to the Stockholders’ Representative within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.1(a)(iv); (x) the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet, in the event that the Stockholders’ Representative does not provide a Disagreement Notice to Parent within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.1(a)(v); (y) the as-adjusted Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet as may be agreed to in writing by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, in the event that the Stockholders’ Representative provides a Disagreement Notice to Parent within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.1(a)(v) and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are able to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the Reviewed Working Capital Amount pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.1(a)(vi); or (z) the as-adjusted Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet as determined by the Auditor pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(vi), in the event that the Stockholders’ Representative provides a Disagreement Notice to Parent within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.1(a)(v) and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet or the Reviewed Working Capital Amount pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.1(a)(vi).

(viii) If the Estimated Working Capital Amount is greater than (i.e., more positive or less negative) the Final Working Capital Amount, then the absolute value of the difference between the Estimated Working Capital Amount, minus the Final Working Capital Amount shall be referred to as a “Reviewed Working Capital Shortfall”. If the Final Working Capital Amount is greater than (i.e., more positive or less negative) the Estimated Working Capital Amount, then the absolute value of the difference between the lesser of the Final Working Capital Amount and the Target Working Capital Amount, minus the Estimated Working Capital Amount shall be referred to as a “Reviewed Working Capital Overage”.

(A) The “Final Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount equal to either the Reviewed Working Capital Shortfall or the Reviewed Working Capital Overage, as applicable.

(B) In the event that the Final Adjustment Amount is a Reviewed Working Capital Shortfall, the Net Closing Consideration shall be reduced by the absolute value of such amount and Parent shall recover such amount from the Escrow Fund, and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release such amount to Parent.

(C) In the event that the Final Adjustment Amount is a Reviewed Working Capital Overage, the Net Closing Consideration shall be increased by the absolute value of such amount and Parent shall cause fifteen percent (15%) of such amount to be paid into the Escrow Fund and the remainder of such amount to be delivered to the Paying Agent for distribution to each holder of Company Securities entitled to receive a portion of the Net Closing Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.2 and 2.3.

(ix) Any payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(viii) shall be made within ten (10) business days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(viii) and, if not paid within such ten (10) business day period, shall

-6-

bear interest from the end of such period to the date of such payment at a rate, calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, equal to the prime rate of interest as announced or published in The Wall Street Journal.

(b) The “Net Closing Consideration” shall be an amount equal to: (i) $30,000,000, as decreased by any Estimated Working Capital Shortfall; minus (ii) all Company Transaction Fees (to the extent unpaid as of the Effective Time); minus (iii) all Change in Control Payments (to the extent unpaid as of the Effective Time); minus (iv) all Debt of the Company (to the extent outstanding as of the Effective Time); plus (v) the Closing Cash; plus (vi) the Warrant Exercise Price. The Net Closing Consideration shall be: (x) initially allocated among the holders of Company Securities in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.2 and 2.3 distributed in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.6; and (y) subject to adjustment following the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(viii) based on the Final Adjustment Amount. Notwithstanding any adjustments that may be made to the Net Closing Consideration following the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(viii) based on the Final Adjustment Amount, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Estimated Adjustment Amount shall be used for purposes of determining the amount of the Net Closing Consideration on the Closing Date.

2.2 Conversion of Stock. Subject to Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7, as of 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 outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock, the following shall occur:

-7-

“Series A-2 Preference Amount”); provided, however, that if the amount by which the Net Closing Consideration exceeds the Aggregate Senior Base Preference Amount is less than the Aggregate Series A-2 Preference Amount, then notwithstanding the foregoing, each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the Series A-2 Reduced Preference Amount.

(a) Schedule 2.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list of all Company Transaction Fees and Change in Control Payments (separately listing each fee and payment, the Company Representative to whom such fees and payments are owed and all relevant contact information) and all of the outstanding Debt of the Company (separately listing each item of Debt, the related creditor and all relevant contact information) (each, a “Company Lender”), in each case as of the date hereof.

(i) On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent:

(A) a payoff letter from each Company Lender (collectively, the “Lender Payoff Letters”) providing for the complete repayment as of the Effective Time of all of the Company’s outstanding Debt as of immediately prior to the Effective Time to such Company Lender and the complete release of any encumbrance such Company Lender may have against the Company or any its assets, along with appropriate supporting documentation, all conditioned upon receipt of the funds specified as owed or due to such Company Lender in such Payoff Letter and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent; and

(B) formal statements of all Company Transaction Fees and Change in Control Payments from each of the Company’s Representatives to which Company Transaction Fees and Change in Control Payments will be owed and outstanding as of the Effective Time (the “Fee Statement Letters”), along with all appropriate supporting documentation, and each in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent. The Fee Statement Letters shall: (1) collectively provide for the payment in full of all of the Company Transaction Fees and Change in Control Payments that will be owing by the Company to its Representatives at the Effective Time; and (2) each state that the Representative of the Company providing the Fee Statement Letter acknowledges that such Representative is not owed any further amounts from the Company (including amounts payable on or after the Closing Date) other than as set forth on the Fee Statement Letter.

-10-

(ii) At the Effective Time, as described in Section 6.1(g), Parent shall cause payments to be made out of the Net Closing Consideration to the Company Lenders and Company Representatives in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Payoff Letters and Fee Statement Letters, as applicable.

(b) At the Effective Time, each holder of Company Securities shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the difference of that portion of the Net Closing Consideration, if any, that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2 and/or 2.3, after deduction of the Escrow Fund and Stockholders’ Representative Fund (each, a “Closing Payment” and collectively, the “Closing Payments”).

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit G (the “Paying Agent Agreement”), with a bank or trust company selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of delivering the Closing Payments in exchange for the Company Stock Certificates and Company B-2 Warrants.

(d) At the Closing, Parent shall deposit in cash with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of holders of Company Capital Stock and Company B-2 Warrants entitled to receive a portion of the Net Closing Consideration set forth in Section 2.1, the Closing Payments to which such holders shall be entitled at the Effective Time. Such funds shall be invested as provided in the Paying Agent Agreement pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.6. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to each holder of Company Capital Stock and Company B-2 Warrants entitled to receive a portion of the Net Closing Consideration set forth in Section 2.1 a letter of transmittal, substantially in the form of Exhibit H (the “Letter of Transmittal”) for use in the exchange of such holders’ Company Stock Certificates or Company B-2 Warrants for the applicable Closing Payments to which such holders are entitled.

(e) Upon surrender of: (i) a Company Stock Certificate or a Company B-2 Warrant to the Paying Agent for exchange (or the provision of an affidavit as contemplated in Section 2.6(f) below); and (ii) a duly executed Letter of Transmittal, each holder of Company Securities shall be entitled at and after the Effective Time to receive in exchange therefor the Closing Payment payable with respect to the Company Securities held by such holder.

(f) From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Company Securities shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided herein or by Applicable Law. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.6, each share of Company Capital Stock (or instrument evidencing such Company Capital Stock) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the applicable portion, if any, of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement. If any Company Stock Certificate or Company B-2 Warrant shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact (and, if required, an indemnity reasonably acceptable to Parent, but, for the avoidance of doubt, without the necessity of posting any bond) by the holder claiming such Company Stock Certificate or Company B-2 Warrant to have been lost, stolen or destroyed (provided that such holder shall have been listed on the Final Merger Consideration Schedule), the Paying Agent (or Parent, as the case may be) shall pay the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

-11-

(g) Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Merger Consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may determine that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, may be required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or under any Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent will be responsible for all employer payroll Taxes attributable to the exercise of Company Stock Options, cash payments in respect of Company Stock Options, and other transaction-based compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, and such amounts shall not be indemnified by the holders of Company Securities or charged against the Working Capital Amount.

(h) On or after the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to have returned to it: (i) any funds that had been deposited with the Paying Agent and that have not been disbursed to holders of Company Securities; and (ii) any amount earned on the investment of the Closing Payments held by the Paying Agent. Thereafter, any holders who have not yet exchanged their Company Stock Certificates or Company B-2 Warrants for the applicable Closing Payments in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall be entitled to look only to Parent, as unsecured creditors thereof, for satisfaction of their claims for such applicable Closing Payments, without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6(h), to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Company Securities for any amounts properly delivered to a Government Authority pursuant to any Applicable Law. Immediately prior to the time when such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Government Authority, any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Securities immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interests of any holder or other Person previously entitled thereto.

2.7 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of Merger Consideration. Holders of such Dissenting Shares shall instead be entitled to receive payment for the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, except that if, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares and withdrawals of any such demand, and any other communications delivered to the Company pursuant to or in connection with Section 262 of the DGCL, and Parent shall have the exclusive right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands (including settlement offers). Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not settle or offer to settle, nor (unless required pursuant to a valid and final Order) make any payment with respect to, any such demands.

2.8 Company Stock Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to: (i) terminate the

-12-

Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “2009 Plan”) as of the Effective Time; and (ii) provide that each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under the 2009 Plan or outside of the 2009 Plan (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised (without regard to the exercise price of such Company Stock Option) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall (x) become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing; and (y) as to any unexercised portion of any Company Stock Option, be canceled as of the Effective Time (in each case, without the creation of additional liability to the Company).

2.9 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub and the Company) to take such action.

The parties recognize and agree that the representations and warranties also operate as bargained for promises and risk allocation devices and that, accordingly, any Indemnitee’s knowledge, and the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification or payment of Damages pursuant to this Article VIII, or, subject to the express limitations set forth herein, any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

8.2 Indemnification Rights.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, each Indemnitee shall be held harmless and indemnified from and against, and shall be compensated, reimbursed and have paid, any Damages which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by such Indemnitee or to which such Indemnitee may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third party claim) and which arise from or as a result of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company to Parent or Merger Sub set forth in Article III of this Agreement (as modified by the Company Disclosure Schedule) or the CEO Certificate as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of the Closing Date in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger (in each case, for purposes of calculating Damages only and not for purposes of determining whether an inaccuracy or breach has occurred, without giving effect to any materiality or similar qualification contained in such representation or warranty);

-44-

(ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company to Parent or Merger Sub, at or prior to the Closing in this Agreement (including the covenants set forth in Article V);

(iii) any demands by holders of Company Capital Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL and any successor provision thereto (which shall consist of amounts paid to such holders with respect to such demands in excess of such holders’ portion of the Merger Consideration payable to holders of the same class or series of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Article II, as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such demands);

(iv) any error or inaccuracy in the Final Merger Consideration Schedule as of the Closing Date, to the extent such error or inaccuracy would result, upon correction, in Parent paying aggregate Net Closing Consideration in excess of the aggregate Net Closing Consideration that would have otherwise been payable;

(v) (A) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(g), Taxes of the Company or the nonpayment thereof for any taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date provided that for any period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, the portion of Taxes through the Closing Date shall be calculated as follows: (x) in the case of any Taxes of the Company based on or measured by income or receipts, such Taxes shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and (y) the amount of other Taxes of the Company shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from (and including) the first day of such taxable period through (and including) the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such period; (B) Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor or Subsidiary) is or was a member prior to the Effective Time, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation; and (C) Taxes of any Person other than the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to a transaction or event occurring on or before the Effective Time;

(vi) any indemnification obligations owing by the Company to any past or present officers, directors or employees of the Company (whether under the DGCL, the Company Constituent Documents, any current indemnification agreement, this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to claims made against such past or present officers, directors or employees;

(vii) any Transition Consultant’s revocation of the release of claims set forth in his or her Transition Services Agreement following the Closing; and

(viii) any Action relating to any matter referred to in clauses “(i)” through “(vii)” above.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, in the event the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with

-45-

any of the matters for which indemnification is available pursuant to Section 8.2(a), 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 matter but in either case the total amount both Parent and the Surviving Corporation may recover shall not exceed the amount of Damages.

8.3 Indemnification Payments; Remedies.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Indemnitees’ right to recovery from the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for the matters referred to in Section 8.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to the Fundamental Representations and the IP Infringement Representation), Section 8.2(a)(ii) and Section 8.2(a)(vi) (the matters for which recovery is limited to the Escrow Fund pursuant to this sentence being referred to as the “Escrow Matters”). The Indemnitees shall be entitled to be held harmless and indemnified from and against, compensated for, reimbursed for and have paid the Escrow Matters only to the extent that the aggregate Damages with respect thereto exceed an amount equal to $100,000 (the “Deductible Amount”).

(b) With respect to any matters other than Escrow Matters for which the Indemnitees are entitled to be held harmless and indemnified from and against, compensated for, reimbursed for and have paid pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (the “Non-Escrow Matters”):

(i) The Indemnitees may recover all applicable Damages for which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) from either: (i) the Escrow Fund; or (ii) directly from the holders of Company Capital Stock as set forth in Section 8.3(c); provided, however, that the Indemnitees must first seek recovery from the Escrow Fund prior to seeking recovery directly from the holders of Company Capital Stock if (x) the escrow period has not yet terminated and (y) there are sufficient funds in the Escrow Fund that are not otherwise the subject of a pending claim by the Indemnitees.

(ii) If, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3(b)(i), indemnification payments are made from the Escrow Fund to Indemnitees for Non-Escrow Matters and insufficient funds remain in the Escrow Fund to satisfy Damages arising from or as a result of an Escrow Matter that would, but for the provisions of Section 8.3(b)(i), be recoverable pursuant to this Article VIII, then notwithstanding Section 8.3(a) but otherwise subject to the limitations (and exceptions thereto) with respect to Escrow Matters (including the Deductible Amount and the time limitations applicable to claims regarding Escrow Matters) and subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, each holder of Company Securities shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify, compensate, reimburse and pay for such holder’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by such Indemnitee or to which such Indemnitee may otherwise become subject and which arise from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with, any such Escrow Matter; provided, however, that the maximum amount recoverable by the Indemnitees with respect to Escrow Matters pursuant to this Section 8.3(b)(ii) shall not exceed the amount of the Escrow Fund that is used, pursuant Section 8.3(b)(i), to make indemnification payments in respect of Damages arising from or as a result of Non-Escrow Matters.

-46-

(iii) The parties acknowledge that the agreements set forth in this Section 8.3(b) regarding the Indemnitees’ obligation to first seek recovery against the Escrow Fund derive from the parties’ desire to address procedural matters of convenience and are not intended to otherwise affect, from an economic standpoint, the Indemnitees’ rights to seek recovery for Escrow Matters against the Escrow Fund or for Non-Escrow Matters against the holders of Company Securities pursuant to Section 8.3(c). As a result, to the extent that any circumstance arises that would impair the Indemnitees’ rights to seek recovery from the Escrow Fund with respect to Escrow Matters (other than the release of the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement) or against the holders of Company Securities pursuant to Section 8.3(c) with respect to Non-Escrow Matters, this Section 8.3(b) shall be interpreted and implemented in a manner favorable to the Indemnitees so as to place the Indemnitees in the same economic position they would have been were such obligation to first seek recovery against the Escrow Fund not included in this Agreement.

(c) Each holder of Company Securities who is entitled to a portion of the Merger Consideration (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify, compensate, reimburse and pay for such holder’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by an Indemnitee or to which such Indemnitee may otherwise become subject and which arise from or as a result of any Non-Escrow Matter; provided, however, that with respect to Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by an Indemnitee or to which such Indemnitee may otherwise become subject and which arise from or as a result of an IP Infringement Representation, an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify, compensate, reimburse and pay for such Damages shall be limited to such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to $4,500,000 plus the amount, if any, then available in the Escrow Fund (the “IP Infringement Cap”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (other than as specifically provided in Section 8.3(e)), in no event shall the aggregate amount of Damages recoverable by the Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VIII from any holder of Company Securities exceed the portion of the Merger Consideration actually received on a pre-Tax basis by such holder of Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement (including any portion of the Escrow Fund or Stockholders’ Representative Fund that is ultimately released to such holder); provided, however, that this Section 8.3(d) shall not: (i) prohibit Parent from seeking and obtaining recourse against any holder of Company Securities in the event that such holder is ultimately determined to have received any portion of the Merger Consideration from Parent in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration rightfully payable to such holder pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) prohibit the Indemnitees from seeking and obtaining recourse against the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any remedy of an Indemnitee for fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation that results in a breach of this Agreement (including regarding the Escrow Fund being the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to Escrow Matters, the arrangements relating to the Deductible Amount, the IP Infringement Cap and the limitations contained in Section 8.3(d)); provided, however, that in no event shall any holder of Company Securities that did not commit such fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentations have any monetary liability pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the portion of the Merger Consideration actually received on a pre-Tax basis by such holder of

-47-

Company Securities pursuant to this Agreement (including any portion of the Escrow Fund or Stockholders’ Representative Fund that is ultimately released to such holder); and provided further that this Section 8.3(e) shall not prohibit the Indemnitees from seeking and obtaining recourse against the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Damages for which any Indemnitee is entitled to be held harmless or indemnified from and against, compensated for, reimbursed for or have paid under this Article VIII shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of any event giving rise to such Damages constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

8.4 No Contribution. No holder of Company Securities or Management Contributor shall have, and no such holder shall 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 such holder may become subject or which may be payable out of the Escrow Fund under or in connection with this Agreement.

8.5 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Action (whether against the Surviving Corporation, Parent, any of the Parent Subsidiaries or any other Person) with respect to which any of the Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or payment pursuant to this Article VIII, an Indemnitee shall promptly give the Stockholders’ Representative written notice of such claim or Action (each, a “Third Party Claim”) which shall (i) state that such Indemnitee believes that that there is or has been an inaccuracy in or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or that such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed under this Article VIII, (ii) contain a description of the circumstances supporting such Indemnitee’s belief that there is or has been such an inaccuracy or breach or that such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed and (iii) contain a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of actual and potential Damages that have arisen and may arise as a result of the inaccuracy, breach or other matter referred to in such notice; provided, however, that any failure on the part of an Indemnitee to so notify the Stockholders’ Representative shall not limit any of the Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or payment under this Article VIII except as provided in Section 8.1(h) and except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Within ten (10) business days of such written notice, the Stockholders’ Representative may elect, by written notice delivered to Parent, to take all necessary steps to diligently contest any Third Party Claim referenced in Section 8.5(a). If the Stockholders’ Representative makes the foregoing election, Parent will have the right to participate at its own expense in all negotiations and proceedings relating to such Third Party Claim and the Stockholders’ Representative will provide Parent with reasonable access to all relevant information and documentation relating to the Third Party Claim and the prosecution or defense

-48-

thereof. If the Stockholders’ Representative does not make such election within such period or fails to diligently contest such Third Party Claim after such election, Parent shall be free to handle the prosecution or defense of any such Third Party Claim and will permit the Stockholders’ Representative, at the sole cost of the Stockholders’ Representative, to participate in such prosecution or defense and will provide the Stockholders’ Representative with reasonable access to all relevant information and documentation relating to the Third Party Claim and the prosecution or defense thereof. The party not in control of the prosecution or defense of a Third Party Claim will reasonably cooperate with the other party in the conduct of the prosecution or defense of such Third Party Claim. The Stockholders’ Representative will not compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of Parent unless such compromise or settlement is solely for monetary Damages. Parent may compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative; provided, however, that if such a Third Party Claim is settled without the Stockholders’ Representative’s consent, (i) the amount of the Third Party Claim shall not be conclusive as to the amount of Damages the Indemnitees would be entitled to be held harmless or indemnified from and against, compensated for, reimbursed for or have paid with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the fact of such settlement shall not be conclusive as to whether or not the Indemnitee would be entitled to be held harmless or indemnified from and against, compensated for, reimbursed for or have paid any Damages with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Third Party Claim relates to any Intellectual Property Rights or other Intellectual Property issues, Parent shall have the right, at its election and without compromising the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or payment under this Article VIII, to retain control of the defense of such Third Party Claim rather than cede control of such Third Party Claim to the Stockholders’ Representative, provided that if the resolution of such Third Party Claim is finally determined in accordance with this Agreement to have resulted in a right to indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or payment under this Article VIII (and, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VIII) in favor of any Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim, Parent may compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative; provided, however, that if such a Third Party Claim is settled without the Stockholders’ Representative’s consent, (i) the amount of the Third Party Claim shall not be conclusive as to the amount of Damages the Indemnitees would be entitled to be held harmless or indemnified from and against, compensated for, reimbursed for or have paid with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the fact of such settlement shall not be conclusive as to whether or not the Indemnitee would be entitled to be held harmless or indemnified from and against, compensated for, reimbursed for or have paid any Damages with respect to such Third Party Claim.

8.6 Treatment of Insurance. With respect to each claim for indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or payment under this Article VIII, the Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts to assert all claims under all applicable insurance policies, and any Damages that may be recovered by the Indemnitee with respect to such claims shall be net of any insurance proceeds received with respect thereto. To the extent that insurance proceeds are collected after a claim has been settled, the Indemnitee shall restore the Indemnifying Party to the same economic position as would have existed had such insurance proceeds been collected prior to the settlement of such claim.

-49-

8.7 Duty to Mitigate. Parent shall take and shall cause its Affiliates to take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to the Damages.

8.8 Disclaimer. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit hereto) to the contrary, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover damages that consist of any loss of future revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity, or damages determined as a multiple of income, revenue or the like (including any schedule or exhibit hereto).

8.9 Exclusive Remedies. If the Merger has been consummated, then from and after the Effective Time, the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the holders of Company Securities in respect of any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Covered Matter”) (irrespective of the cause of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise) will be to make an indemnification claim pursuant to this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement. If the Merger has been consummated, no Covered Matter will give rise to any right of any party hereto to rescind this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.10 Exercise of Remedies; Tax Treatment.

(a) No Indemnitee (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any claim for indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or payment 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 claim for indemnification, compensation, reimbursement or payment or the exercise of such other remedy.

(b) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties agree to treat all payments under the provisions of this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration and such treatment shall govern for purposes of this Agreement.

Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Representative on all such matters relating to this Agreement (including Article VIII) 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 holder of Company Securities or Management Contributor by the Stockholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any holder of Company Securities or Management Contributor by the Stockholders’ Representative, as being fully binding upon such holder. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the holders of Company Securities and the Management Contributors. Any decision or action by the Stockholders’ Representative hereunder, including any agreement between the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate, reimburse or pay any Indemnitee hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all holders of Company Securities and all Management Contributors and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such holder. No holder of Company Securities or Management Contributor shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(b) If the Stockholders’ Representative shall resign for any reason become unable to fulfill its responsibilities as the agent of the holders of Company Securities, then the former holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall, within ten (10) days after the date upon which the Stockholders’ Representative becomes unable to fulfill its responsibilities, appoint a successor representative reasonably satisfactory to Parent. Any such successor shall become the “Stockholders’ Representative” for all purposes hereunder. If for any reason there is no Stockholders’ Representative at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(c) The holders of Company Securities and the Management Contributors recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 9.1(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the Stockholders’ Representative; and (iii) shall survive the death or incapacity of any holder of Company Securities.

-51-

(d) The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any holder of Company Securities for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholders’ Representative while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The holders of Company Securities and the Management Contributors shall, subject to the following sentence, indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold it harmless from and against, compensate it for, reimburse it for and pay any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder (the “Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence or bad faith of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative will reimburse the holders of Company Securities the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence or bad faith. The Representative Losses shall be satisfied: (i) from the Stockholders’ Representative Fund; and (ii) to the extent the amount of the Representative Losses exceeds amounts available to the Stockholders’ Representative under (i), from holders of Company Securities, severally and not jointly and in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share. As soon as practicable after the date on which the final obligation of the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement have been discharged or such other date as the Stockholders’ Representative deems appropriate, any amounts remaining in the Stockholders’ Representative Fund shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5(e).

9.2 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented (a) prior to the Effective Time, only by the written agreement of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company; provided, however, that after the Required Stockholder Approvals are obtained there shall be no amendment or waiver that, pursuant to Applicable Law, requires further approval of such holders, without the receipt of such further approvals and (b) after the Effective Time, only by the written agreement of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative.

9.3 Waiver of Compliance; Consents. Any failure of Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the Company prior to the Effective Time (with respect to any failure by Parent or Merger Sub), by the Stockholders’ Representative after the Effective Time (with respect to any failure by Parent or Merger Sub) or by Parent or Merger Sub (with respect to any failure by the Company), respectively, only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of any party hereto, such consent shall be deemed effective when given in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 9.3.

9.9 Counterparts.

9.10 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.
