NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the Parties, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

1.4 Additional Action. The Surviving Corporation may, at any time after the Effective Time, take any action, including executing and delivering any document, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

1.5 Calculation of Merger Consideration and Conversion of Shares.

- 2 -

(a) Conversion of Outstanding Common Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the following securities, each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time after giving effect to the Preferred Share Conversion (other than Dissenting Shares and Common Shares held in the Company’s treasury) shall be converted into, and represent the right to receive, an amount in cash per Common Share equal to the Conversion Ratio subject to the provisions of Section 1.7 and Section 1.14.

(b) Treasury Shares. Each Company Share held in the Company’s treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time and each Company Share owned beneficially by Buyer or Merger Sub shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor.

(c) Merger Sub Shares. Each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and thereafter evidence one (1) share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Definitions.

(i) “Conversion Ratio” means the quotient obtained from dividing (i) the Merger Consideration by (ii) the sum of (A) the number of Common Shares (other than Restricted Shares) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the number of Common Shares issued upon conversion (in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) of all Preferred Shares to be effected immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of all Vested Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(ii) “Merger Consideration” means (i) One Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($140,000,000), minus (ii) the sum of (A) the Closing Date AWC Deficiency (if any), (B) the Company Holder Transaction Costs and (C) any Indebtedness of the Company, plus (iii) the Closing Date AWC Excess (if any). For the avoidance of doubt, the Vested Option Consideration is a component of, and included in, the Merger Consideration.

1.6 Working Capital Merger Consideration Adjustment. The Merger Consideration set forth in Section 1.5(d)(ii) shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(a) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a certificate in the form set forth on Schedule 1.6(a) (the “Adjusted Working Capital Certificate”) executed by the chief executive officer on behalf of the Company that sets forth, among other things (i) the Company’s good faith estimate of the Adjusted Working Capital (the “Estimated Adjusted Working Capital”) calculated in accordance with the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (as defined below) which shall include detailed supporting information in the form set forth on Schedule 1.6(a); and (ii) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company reflecting the Company’s good faith estimate of the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis with the Audited Financial Statements (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”).

- 3 -

(b) If (i) the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital is less than Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,200,000) (such difference, the “Closing Date AWC Deficiency”), then the Merger Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Closing Date AWC Deficiency. If the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital exceeds Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,200,000) (such excess, the “Closing Date AWC Excess”), then the Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to such Closing Date AWC Excess.

(c) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Holder Agent a certificate in the form set forth on Schedule 1.6(a) (the “Draft Adjusted Working Capital Certificate”) executed on behalf of Buyer by the chief financial officer that sets forth, among other things, (i) Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital (the “Draft Adjusted Working Capital”) calculated in accordance with the Draft Closing Balance Sheet (as defined below) which shall include detailed supporting information in the form set forth on Schedule 1.6(a); and (ii) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company reflecting Buyer’s good faith calculation of the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis with the Audited Financial Statements (the “Draft Closing Balance Sheet”). Buyer shall promptly provide the Holder Agent with reasonable access to such Company personnel, Buyer personnel and its representatives that were involved in the preparation of the Draft Adjusted Working Capital Certificate and the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and such books and records reasonably related to the Draft Adjusted Working Capital Certificate and the Draft Closing Balance Sheet that the Holder Agent may reasonably request. The Holder Agent shall deliver to Buyer, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Draft Adjusted Working Capital and the Draft Closing Balance Sheet (the “AWC Objection Deadline Date”), either a notice indicating that the Holder Agent accepts the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and the Draft Adjusted Working Capital or a detailed statement describing its objections (if any) to the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and the Draft Adjusted Working Capital (the “AWC Objection Statement”). If the Holder Agent delivers to Buyer a notice accepting the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and Draft Adjusted Working Capital, or the Holder Agent does not deliver the AWC Objection Statement by the AWC Objection Deadline Date, then, effective as of the earlier of the date of delivery of such notice of acceptance or as of the close of business on the AWC Objection Deadline Date, the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and the Draft Adjusted Working Capital delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.6(c) shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Adjusted Working Capital. If the Holder Agent timely delivers the AWC Objection Statement, such objections shall be resolved as follows:

(i) Buyer and the Holder Agent shall first use good faith efforts to resolve such objections set forth in the AWC Objection Statement.

(ii) If Buyer and the Holder Agent do not reach a resolution of all objections set forth in the AWC Objection Statement within thirty (30) days after delivery of such AWC Objection Statement, then Buyer and the Holder Agent shall, within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period or such later time as Buyer and the Holder Agent may mutually agree, engage the Accountant, pursuant to an engagement agreement executed by Buyer, the Holder Agent and the Accountant, to resolve any remaining objections set forth in the AWC Objection Statement (the “AWC Unresolved Objections”).

- 4 -

(iii) Buyer and the Holder Agent shall jointly submit to the Accountant, within five (5) days after the date of the engagement of the Accountant (as evidenced by the date of the engagement agreement), a copy of the Draft Closing Balance Sheet, the Draft Adjusted Working Capital, a copy of the AWC Objection Statement, and a statement setting forth the resolution of any objections agreed to by Buyer and the Holder Agent. Each of Buyer and the Holder Agent shall submit to the Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other Party on the same day), within thirty (30) days after the date of the engagement of the Accountant, a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions on the AWC Unresolved Objections. Each of Buyer and the Holder Agent may (but shall not be required to) submit to the Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other Party on the same day), within forty five (45) days after the date of the engagement of the Accountant, a memorandum responding to the initial memorandum submitted to the Accountant by the other Party. Unless requested by the Accountant in writing, neither Buyer nor the Holder Agent may present any additional information or arguments not previously set forth in such memorandum to the Accountant, either orally or in writing.

(iv) Within sixty (60) days after the date of its engagement hereunder, the Accountant shall determine whether the objections set forth in AWC Objection Statement are valid and shall issue a ruling which shall include a consolidated balance sheet, comprised of the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Draft Adjusted Working Capital, in each case as adjusted pursuant to any resolutions to objections agreed upon by Buyer and the Holder Agent and pursuant to the Accountant’s resolution of the AWC Unresolved Objections. Such adjusted Draft Closing Balance Sheet and such adjusted Draft Adjusted Working Capital shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Balance Sheet and Final Adjusted Working Capital.

(v) The resolution by the Accountant of the AWC Unresolved Objections shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer, the Company Holders and the Holder Agent. Buyer, the Company, the Holder Agent and the Company Holders agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 1.6(c) for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Closing Balance Sheet and Draft Adjusted Working Capital shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit Buyer or the Holder Agent from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Accountant.

(vi) The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Holder Agent on behalf of the Company Holders, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters set forth in the AWC Unresolved Objections which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Accountant at the time the determination of the Accountant is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

(d) If the Final Adjusted Working Capital as derived from the Final Closing Balance Sheet is less than the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital as derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, then the Merger Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to such deficiency (represented as a positive number) (such amount, the “Final AWC Deficiency”) and Buyer shall recover an amount in cash equal to such Final AWC Deficiency from the Escrow Fund. In the event of a Final AWC Deficiency, Buyer and the Holder Agent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within ten (10) days following the date on which the Final

- 5 -

Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Adjusted Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c), a written notice executed by such Parties instructing the Escrow Agent to promptly disburse the amount of such Final AWC Deficiency from the Escrow Fund to Buyer.

(e) If the Final Adjusted Working Capital as derived from the Final Closing Balance Sheet exceeds the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital as derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, then the Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to such excess (such amount, the “Final AWC Excess”) and Buyer shall deliver to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Holders in accordance with the applicable Conversion Ratio an amount in cash equal to such Final AWC Excess, by wire transfer or other delivery of immediately available funds, within ten (10) days after the date on which the Final Closing Balance Sheet and Final Adjusted Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(c).

1.7 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration unless the Company Stockholder holding such Dissenting Shares shall have forfeited his, her or its right to appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law or properly withdrawn his, her or its demand for appraisal. If such Company Stockholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then, (i) as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and each such Dissenting Share shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Conversion Ratio payable in respect of such Company Share pursuant to Section 1.5, and (ii) promptly following the occurrence of such event, Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to such Company Stockholder a payment representing the amount that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5, subject to the provisions of Section 1.10 and Section 1.14.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall give Buyer prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other documents and instruments that relate to such demands received by the Company and the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Following the Effective Time, Buyer shall give the Holder Agent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other documents and instruments that relate to such demands received by the Surviving Corporation. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Shares or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

1.8 Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, Buyer shall assume the 2005 Plan and all outstanding Options shall be either cancelled or assumed by Buyer as set forth in this Section 1.8.

- 6 -

(b) With respect to Vested Options, the holder of such Vested Option shall be entitled to receive the Vested Option Consideration (subject to the provisions of Section 1.10 hereof and less applicable withholding) with respect to such Vested Option, and at the Effective Time the portion of such Option for which such payment is made shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and the holder shall have no further rights with respect thereto other than the payment of the applicable Vested Option Consideration.

(c) With respect to Unvested Options, as of the Effective Time, such Unvested Options shall be assumed by Buyer. Immediately after the Effective Time, each Unvested Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Unvested Option at the Effective Time, such number of shares of Buyer Common Stock as is equal to the number of Common Shares subject to such Unvested Option, multiplied by the Unvested Option Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each such assumed Unvested Option shall be equal to the exercise price of such Unvested Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Unvested Option Conversion Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).

(d) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the holders of Unvested Options appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to such Unvested Options, as amended by this Section 1.8, and the agreements evidencing such Unvested Options shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the amendments provided for in this Section 1.8 and such notice).

(e) Following the Effective Time, Buyer shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act with respect to the Restricted Shares and all shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to such Unvested Options that may be registered on a Form S-8, and shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for so long as such Unvested Options and Restricted Shares remain outstanding.

(f) The Company shall obtain, prior to the Closing, the consent from each holder of an Unvested Option to the amendment of such Option pursuant to this Section 1.8 (unless such consent is not required under the terms of the applicable agreement, instrument or plan).

(g) Except as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no Option shall become vested or exercisable solely as a result of the Merger.

1.9 Restricted Shares. With respect to the issued and outstanding Common Shares that are unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth on Schedule 1.9 (“Restricted Shares”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of Restricted Shares, each Restricted Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and Restricted Shares held in the Company’s treasury) shall be converted into, and represent the right to receive, such number of

- 7 -

shares of Buyer Common Stock as is equal to the Restricted Share Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from the conversion of the aggregate number of Restricted Shares held by each such holder of Restricted Shares to be rounded down to the nearest whole number and shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional shares in an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) such fractional share, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Ratio). Such shares of Buyer Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 1.9 with respect such Restricted Shares shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable as of the date hereof to such Restricted Shares except as otherwise agreed in writing between Buyer and such holder. Upon cancellation of the Restricted Shares at the Effective Time, the holder shall have no further rights with respect to such shares and shall only be entitled to the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 1.9. If the vesting conditions applicable to the shares of Buyer Common Stock under this Section 1.9 to the former holders of Restricted Shares are not satisfied, the holder will forfeit any further rights to such shares of Buyer Common Stock.

1.10 Escrow Fund; Holder Agent Fund Amount.

(a) On the Closing Date, Buyer or Merger Sub shall deposit Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the Company Holders pursuant to Section 1.5 (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Amount, together with any further sums deposited by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to the final sentence of Section 1.7(a) and any interest earned thereon, is referred to herein as the “Escrow Fund” (as defined in Article VIII) and is established for the purpose of securing Buyer’s indemnification rights pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of Article VI and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Person, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Fund for all income tax purposes until such amounts, if any, are distributed to the Company Holders.

(b) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to Company Holders pursuant to Section 1.5 (the “Holder Agent Fund Amount”) into a segregated account designated by the Holder Agent in a written notice delivered to Buyer at least two (2) days prior to the Closing Date. The Holder Agent Fund Amount and any interest earned thereon, is referred to herein as the “Holder Agent Fund” and is established solely to be used by the Holder Agent to pay any fees, costs or other expenses it may incur in performing its duties or exercising its rights under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Holder Agent Fund shall be held as a trust fund for the benefit of the Company Holders and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Person. The Company Holders shall be treated as the owners of the Holder Agent Fund for all income tax purposes until such amounts, if any, are distributed to the Company Holders.

(c) The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the stockholders of the Company shall constitute approval of the Escrow Fund, the Holder Agent Fund and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including the placement of the Escrow

- 8 -

Amount into escrow, the appointment of the Holder Agent and the placement of the Holder Agent Fund Amount into the Holder Agent Fund.

1.11 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time shall be the same as the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) the name of the corporation set forth therein shall be changed to the name of the Company and (ii) the identity of the incorporator shall be deleted.

(b) The Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time shall be the same as the Bylaws of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the corporation set forth therein shall be changed to the name of the Company.

1.12 No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, no Company Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and holders of certificates formerly representing Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as provided herein or by Law.

1.13 Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing Company Shares are presented to Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and converted in accordance with Section 1.5, subject to Section 1.7, Section 1.10 and Section 1.14 and subject further to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

1.14 Exchange of Shares.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall appoint American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC as the payment agent (the “Payment Agent”) to effect the payment of the Merger Consideration in exchange for certificates (as applicable) representing the Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Certificates”). Buyer shall deliver to the Payment Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of Company Certificates, the portion of the Merger Consideration payable to Company Stockholders as of the Closing Date. Promptly following the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Payment Agent to send a notice and a letter of transmittal (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G) to each holder of a Company Certificate advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Payment Agent such Company Certificate in exchange for the portion of the Merger Consideration payable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.5. Each holder of a Company Certificate, upon proper surrender thereof to the Payment Agent (and with respect to Company Certificates representing Restricted Shares held by the Company in escrow, upon surrender by the Company to the Paying Agent at least one (1) day prior to Closing) in accordance with the instructions in such notice, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (subject to the provisions of Section 1.7 and the withholding of all applicable taxes required to be withheld) the cash amount payable pursuant to Section 1.5. Until properly surrendered, each Company Certificate shall be deemed for all

In

- 36 -

connection with soliciting the written stockholder consent, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to its stockholders the Disclosure Statement, which shall include (A) a summary of the Merger and this Agreement (which summary shall include a summary of the terms relating to the indemnification obligations of the Company Holders, the escrow arrangements and the authority of the Holder Agent, and a statement that the adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company shall constitute approval of such terms), (B) a statement that appraisal or dissenters’ rights are available for the Company Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and a correct and complete copy of such Section 262, and (C) a written notice pursuant to Section 228 and Section 262(d) of the Delaware General Corporation Law to all stockholders of the Company that did not execute such written consent informing such stockholders that this Agreement and the Merger were adopted and approved by the stockholders of the Company. Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Disclosure Statement. The Company agrees not to distribute the Disclosure Statement until Buyer has had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Disclosure Statement and the Disclosure Statement has been approved by Buyer (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Consistent with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) and the Treasury Regulations, such vote shall establish the “disqualified individual’s” right to the payment, benefit or other compensation and the Company shall provide adequate disclosure to all stockholders of all material facts concerning all payments that, but for such vote, could be deemed “parachute payments” to a “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code in a manner that satisfies Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The vote set forth in this Section 4.3(b) is referred to herein as the “280G Vote”. Prior to soliciting the 280G Vote and providing such required disclosure, the Company shall submit to Buyer (i) for its reasonable review and approval the 280G Disclosure Statement and (ii) for its reasonable review all other documentation related to the 280G Vote.

(b) If an Indemnified Party delivers to the Holder Agent, before expiration of a representation or warranty, a Claim Notice, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of any claims arising from or related to the matter covered by such notice. If the Legal Proceeding or claim with respect to which a Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly so notify the Holder Agent; and if the Indemnified Party has delivered a copy of the Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent and funds have been retained in the Escrow Fund after the Termination Date (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to such Claim Notice, the Holder Agent and the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse such retained funds to the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

6.2 Indemnification by the Indemnifying Securityholders. The Indemnifying Securityholders shall, severally and not jointly (in proportion with their respective Pro Rata Portion), indemnify Buyer in respect of, and hold it harmless against, any and all Damages paid, incurred, sustained, or accrued by any Indemnified Party resulting from, relating to or constituting:

- 48 -

(a) any breach of, inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, either when made as of the date of this Agreement or immediately prior to the Effective Time as though made immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for representations and warranties expressly made as of a specified date), or in any certificate or instrument delivered by the Company to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any breach or nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company contained in or arising out of this Agreement;

(c) any failure of any Company Stockholder to have good, valid and marketable title to the issued and outstanding Company Shares issued in the name of such Company Stockholder, free and clear of all Security Interests;

6.3 Indemnification Claims.

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Holder Agent of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed Damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Holder Agent shall relieve the Indemnifying Securityholders of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any Damage or Liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Holder Agent may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Holder Agent may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any Damages, fines, costs or other Liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VI, (B) the Third Party Action is asserted by a Person other than a Governmental Entity and does not seek punitive, exemplary or similar damages, treble damages or other damages in excess of actual damages, and does not seek a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief or specific performance, (C) the Person asserting a Third Party Action is not a customer or strategic partner of any Indemnified Party, (D) the total amount of Damages that may be awarded with respect to such claims does not exceed the amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund after deducting therefrom the amount of all outstanding unpaid and/or unresolved claims for indemnification and (E) the Third Party Action does not involve Taxes, infringement, violation or misappropriation of Intellectual Property, criminal Liability or the matters described in Section 6.2(d) or Section 6.2(e). If the Holder Agent does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised on a reasonably current basis of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.3(a) or (ii) the Indemnifying Securityholders assume control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Securityholders and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. Neither the Holder Agent or the Indemnifying Securityholders shall agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any

- 50 -

judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Holder Agent shall be entitled to dispute (x) that such Third Party Action constituted a claim for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI and/or (y) the amount of indemnifiable Damages subject to such Third Party Action.

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, an Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Holder Agent. If the Indemnified Party is Buyer, the Holder Agent shall deliver a copy of the Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Holder Agent shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a Response, in which the Holder Agent shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case, subject to Section 6.4(c), , the Holder Agent and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by the Holder Agent and the Indemnified Party instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the Claimed Amount to Buyer), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case, subject to Section 6.4(c), , the Holder Agent and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by the Holder Agent and the Indemnified Party instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the Agreed Amount to Buyer) or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount.

(d) During the thirty (30)-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Holder Agent and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute.

6.4 Limitations.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, (i) the aggregate Liability of the Indemnifying Securityholders for Damages under this Article VI shall not exceed the Escrow Fund and (ii) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI unless and until all Damages hereunder exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Threshold Amount”) whereupon the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified only for such Damages in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided (A) that the limitations set forth in this Section 6.4 shall not apply to any claim pursuant to Section 6.2(a) relating to a breach of, inaccuracy in the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 (Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power), Section 2.2 (Capitalization), Section 2.3 (Authorization of Transaction), Section 2.21(d) (Employees), Section 2.29 (Broker’s Fees) claims pursuant to Section 6.2(c), Section 6.2(d), Section 6.2(e), Section 6.2(f) and claims for intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or fraud (collectively, the “Excepted Matters”).

(b) Solely for purposes of determining the amount of Damages pursuant to this Article VI (but not for purposes of determining whether a breach or inaccuracy has occurred), all representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article II shall be construed as if the terms “material” or “in all material respects” and any reference to “Company Material Adverse Effect” (and variations thereof) were omitted.

- 51 -

(c) Any payments required to be made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to claims for indemnification hereunder with respect to Excepted Matters shall be made first by resort to the Escrow Fund, and second, if the balance of the Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy the entire amount of payments to be made to an Indemnified Party in respect of such Excepted Matters, by seeking recourse to each Indemnifying Securityholder, severally and not jointly in accordance with each such Indemnifying Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion.

(d) All Damages recovered by the Indemnified Parties from the Escrow Fund shall be allocated among the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Portion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except for claims for intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or fraud, no Indemnifying Securityholder shall be liable for more than the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration to be paid to such Indemnifying Securityholder (assuming the full amount of Merger Consideration (including all amounts held in the Escrow Fund) is actually paid to such Indemnifying Securityholder) pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate Liability of Buyer for Damages hereunder shall not exceed the Merger Consideration.

(f) Except with respect to claims for intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or fraud, after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VI and the Escrow Agreement shall be the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any breach of, inaccuracy in, nonperformance or noncompliance with such representation, warranty, certification, covenant, agreement or other obligation contained in this Agreement; provided, however nothing herein shall be construed to limit the remedies available to, or the amount of Damages recoverable by, Buyer for breach of any of the Ancillary Agreements by any of the parties thereto other than the Company.

(g) The amount of any Damages payable by the Indemnifying Securityholders pursuant to this Article VI shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party with respect to the Damages (net of any insurance premium increases or other costs incurred by the Indemnified Party in respect of such insurance proceeds); provided that nothing set forth in this Section 6.4(g) shall require the Indemnified Party to make an insurance claim with respect to such Damages.

(h) No Indemnifying Securityholder shall have any right of contribution against the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

(i) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified for special, punitive or exemplary Damages (collectively, “Special Damages”) unless such Indemnified Party is required to pay Special Damages to a third party in which case such Special Damages shall constitute Damages for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI. No party hereto shall be obligated to indemnify any other Person with respect to (i) any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition specifically waived in writing by the other party at the Closing or (ii) any Damages if such Damages were included in the calculation of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5 or in the

- 52 -

calculation of the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital or the Final Adjusted Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.6 (in each case, to the extent so included).

6.5 Liability and Authority of Holder Agent; Successors and Assignees.

(a) Limitation on Liability. The Holder Agent shall incur no Liability to the Company Holders with respect to any action taken or suffered by it in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other documents believed by it to be genuinely and duly authorized, nor for other action or inaction except its own bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence and the Company Holders shall severally and not jointly (in proportion with their respective Pro Rata Portion), indemnify the Holder Agent from any liabilities or obligations arising out of its serving as the Holder Agent hereunder, except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Holder Agent, including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel. The Holder Agent may, in all questions arising under the Escrow Agreement, rely on the advice of counsel and the Holder Agent shall not be liable to the Company Holders for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Holder Agent based on such advice.

(b) Successor Holder Agent. In the event of the death or permanent disability of any Holder Agent, or his or her resignation as a Holder Agent, a successor Holder Agent shall be elected by a majority vote of the Company Holders, with each such Company Holder (or his, her or its successors or assigns) to be given a vote equal to the number of votes represented by the Company Shares held by such Company Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each successor Holder Agent shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Holder Agent, and the term “Holder Agent” as used herein shall be deemed to include successor Holder Agent.

(c) Power and Authority. The Holder Agent shall have full power and authority to represent the Company Holders, and their successors, with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and all actions taken by any Holder Agent hereunder shall be binding upon the Company Holders, and their successors, as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them. All such actions shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside this Agreement and shall be binding on all Company Holders and holders of Unvested Options as a matter of contract Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder Agent shall have full power and authority to interpret all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to compromise any claims asserted hereunder and to authorize payments to be made with respect thereto, on behalf of the Company Holders and holders of Unvested Options and their successors.
