The Company expressly acknowledges that (A) the Preliminary Merger Consideration Allocation Schedule sets forth the contemplated allocation of the Total Stock Consideration payable in accordance with Section 2.1, (B) such allocation complies with and does not violate any provision of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Contract, and (C) the allocations set forth on such schedule, as well as, the Total Stock Consideration payable to the Company Securityholders as reflected therein shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof including, without limitation, Sections 2.2, 2.6 and 2.7 hereof. The information set forth on Preliminary Merger Consideration Allocation Schedule regarding the Company Securityholders is true, complete and accurate as of the Agreement Date.

Upon receipt by PAR3 and approval thereof (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Final Merger Consideration Allocation schedule shall be appended to this Agreement as Exhibit C-2.

(iii) As promptly as practicable at or after the Effective Time, PAR3 shall mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Series E Preferred Stock (the “Certificates”) at the respective addresses set forth on the final Merger Consideration Allocation Schedule a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to PAR3 and shall contain such other customary provisions as PAR3 may reasonably specify). Upon receipt of the Certificates for cancellation, together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents as PAR3 shall reasonably require,

PAR3 shall, subject to the terms of Section 2.2, cause to be delivered to such Company Stockholder that number of shares of PAR3 Series C-1 Preferred Stock (rounded up to the next whole share) which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Company Series E Preferred Stock formerly represented by such Certificate (after taking into account all shares of Company Series E Preferred Stock then held by such holder) and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, PAR3 shall, as promptly as practicable following the receipt by PAR3 of the foregoing documents, subject to the terms of Section 2.2, issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate that portion of the Total Stock Consideration represented by the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate in exchange therefore which the Company Stockholder has the right to receive.

(b) Cancellation. From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Capital Stock will be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of Certificates formerly representing such Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as provided herein or by Applicable Law.

(c) Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Capital Stock shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Series E Preferred Stock are presented to PAR3 or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for that portion of the Total Stock Consideration and any other amount payable with respect to such Company Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 2.1(b), subject to the terms of Section 2.2.

(d) Further Rights in Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock. All shares of PAR3 Series C-1 Preferred Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Company Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any shares of PAR3 Series C-1 Preferred Stock issued pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or Section 2.5(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Series E Preferred Stock and all other Company Capital Stock, as applicable.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of PAR3 Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates.

2.6 Dissenting Shares. If, in connection with the Merger, holders of Company Capital Stock shall have demanded and perfected appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law, none of such Dissenting Shares shall be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Total Stock Consideration or any other amount payable with respect to such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 2.1(b), but shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Delaware Law. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with Delaware Law (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to Delaware Law). In the event that any Company Stockholder fails to make an effective demand for payment or fails to perfect its appraisal rights or appraisal rights as to its shares of Company Capital Stock or any Dissenting Shares shall otherwise lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the consideration issuable pursuant to Article II in respect of such shares as if such shares never been Dissenting Shares, and PAR3 shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 2.5, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.5, the portion of the Total Stock Consideration and any other amounts, to which such Company Stockholder would have been entitled under Section 2.1(b) with respect to such shares and Section 2.2 (regarding the withholding of the Escrow Shares). The Company shall give PAR3 (i) prompt notice of any demand received by the Company for appraisal of Company Capital Stock or notice of exercise of a Company Stockholder’s appraisal rights in accordance with Delaware Law and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal rights under such law.

2.7 Retention Plan. In addition to the amounts payable to Company Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement, beneficiaries of the Retention Plan will receive PAR3 Series C-1 Preferred Stock and cash or options to purchase PAR3 Common Stock.

2.8 Tax Withholding. PAR3 or PAR3’s agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Total Merger Consideration or other payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person, the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

2.9 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368(a) of the income tax regulations under the Code.

2.10 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Effective Time, any of the parties hereto reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary to consummate the Transactions or to carry out the purposes and intent of the Transaction Agreements at or after the Effective Time, then the Company, PAR3, the Surviving Corporation and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to consummate the Transactions and to carry out the purposes and intent of the Transaction Agreements.

(a) As used herein, the term “Claim” means a claim for indemnification of PAR3 or any other PAR3 Indemnified Person of a Company Stockholder for Damages under this Article IX.

(b) PAR3 may give notice of a Claim under this Agreement, whether for its own Damages or for Damages incurred by any other PAR3 Indemnified Person, and PAR3 shall give written notice of a Claim executed by an officer of PAR3 (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Claim involves recovery against the Escrow Property) promptly after PAR3 becomes aware of the existence of any potential claim by an PAR3 Indemnified Person for indemnification from the Effective Time Holders under this Article IX, arising from or relating to:

(i) Any matter specified in Section 9.2; or

(ii) the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against PAR3 or any other PAR3 Indemnified Person of a claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a third party against PAR3 or such other PAR3 Indemnified Person (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”) that is based on, arises out of or relates to any matter specified in Section 9.2.

The period during which claims may be initiated (the “Claims Period”) for indemnification from the Escrow Property shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate on the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Claims Period for indemnification from and against Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (i) fraud, criminal activity, intentional breach of any covenant or intentional misrepresentation by the Company, or (ii) any failure of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.3 (Power, Authorization and Validity) (but not the portion of Section 3.3(b) that provides a representation that “including the consent of any Person required to be obtained in order to keep any Company Material Contract between such Person and the Company in effect following the Merger or to provide that the Company is not in breach or violation of any such Company Material Contract following the Merger”), Section 3.4 (Capitalization) or Section 3.7 (Taxes) to be true and correct as aforesaid shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Claims for Damages specified in any Notice of Claim delivered to the Representative prior to expiration of the applicable Claims Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to expiration of the applicable Claims Period shall remain outstanding until such Claims for Damages have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. Until the expiration of the applicable Claims Period, no delay on the part of PAR3 in giving the Representative a Notice of Claim shall relieve the Representative or any Effective Time Holder from any of its obligations under this Article IX unless (and then only to the extent that) the Representative or the Company Stockholders are materially prejudiced thereby.

9.5 Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) PAR3 shall determine and conduct the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim, and the costs and expenses incurred by PAR3 in connection with such defense or settlement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Damages for which PAR3 may seek indemnification pursuant to a Claim made by any PAR3 Indemnified Person hereunder. The Representative shall have the right to participate and enter an appearance in the defense of the Third-Party Claim at his or her own expense.

(b) The Representative shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents by the Representative does not affect any privilege relating to the PAR3 Indemnified Person and may participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third-Party Claim.

(c) No settlement of any such Third-Party Claim with any third party claimant shall be determinative of the existence of or amount of Damages relating to such matter, except with the consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Representative shall have objected within 20 days after a written request for such consent by PAR3. PAR3 shall in good faith try to mitigate the amount of Damages related to such matter.

9.6 Contents of Notice of Claim. Each Notice of Claim by PAR3 given pursuant to Section 9.4 shall contain the following information:

(i) that PAR3 or another PAR3 Indemnified Person has directly or indirectly incurred, paid or properly accrued or, in good faith, believes it shall have to directly or indirectly incur, pay or accrue, Damages in an aggregate stated amount arising from such Claim (which amount may be an estimated amount and may be the amount of damages claimed by a third party in an action brought against any PAR3 Indemnified Person based on alleged facts, which if true, would give rise to liability for Damages to such PAR3 Indemnified Person under this Article IX);

(ii) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to PAR3), of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Damages based on PAR3’s good faith belief thereof, including the identity and address of any third-party claimant (to the extent reasonably available to PAR3) and copies of any formal demand or complaint, the amount of Damages (to the extent known), or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the specific nature of the breach to which such item is related; and

(iii) a statement that either (a) the Claims identified in such Notice of Claim (together with Claims set forth in all Notices of Claims theretofore delivered), individually or in the aggregate, do not satisfy the Basket, (b) the Claims identified in such Notice of Claim (together with Claims set forth in all Notices of Claims theretofore delivered), individually or in the aggregate, satisfy the Basket or (c) that the Basket does not apply to such Claims.

9.7 Resolution of Notice of Claim. Each Notice of Claim given by PAR3 shall be resolved as follows:

(a) If, within 30 days after a Notice of Claim is received by the Representative, the Representative does not contest such Notice of Claim in writing to PAR3 (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Claim involves recovery against the Escrow Property), the Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have consented, on behalf of all Company Stockholders, to the recovery by the PAR3 Indemnified Person of the full amount of Damages (subject to the limits contained in this Article IX) specified in the Notice of Claim in accordance with this Article IX, including the forfeiture of all or a portion of the Escrow Shares, and, without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Company Stockholders for such amount in any court having jurisdiction over the matter where venue is proper.

(b) If the Representative gives PAR3 written notice contesting all or any portion of a Notice of Claim (a “Contested Claim”) (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) within the 30 day period specified in Section 9.7(a) above, then such Contested Claim shall be resolved by either (i) a written settlement agreement or memorandum executed by PAR3 and the Representative (a copy of which shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent) or (ii) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement within 30 days following receipt by PAR3 of the written notice from the Representative specified in 9.7(c) below, by binding arbitration between PAR3 and the Representative in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 9.7(c) below. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum or agreement and shall distribute from the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms of the memorandum or agreement.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and information exchange, either PAR3 or the Representative may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days after such written notice is sent, PAR3 (on the one hand) and the Representative (on the other hand) shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in any disputed Notice of Claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Shares in accordance with such decision.

(d) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California under the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association, and the expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the prevailing party to the arbitration. The arbitration panel shall be authorized to determine which party to the arbitration is the prevailing party and which party is the non-prevailing party.

9.8 Release of Remaining Escrow Property. Within ten (10) business days following the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Stockholders all of the remaining Escrow Property (if any) in excess of any Escrow Property that is necessary to satisfy all unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed claims for Damages specified in any Notice of Claim delivered to the Representative before the Expiration Date. If any Claims are

unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed as of the expiration of the Claims Period, then the Escrow Agent shall retain possession and custody of that portion of the Escrow Property that equals the total maximum amount of Damages then being claimed in good faith by PAR3 Indemnified Persons, subject to the Basket. In all such unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims, and as soon as all such Claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Stockholders all of the remaining Escrow Property (if any) not required to satisfy such Claims.

9.9 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. All payments (if any) made to an PAR3 Indemnified Person pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article IX will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law.

9.10 Appointment of Representative.

(a) By voting in favor of the Merger or participating in the Merger and accepting the benefits thereof, each Company Stockholder shall be deemed to have approved the designation of and designates the Representative as the representative of the Company Stockholders and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Company Stockholder with respect to claims for indemnification under this Article IX, for purposes of Section 10.11 and the taking by the Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative under this Agreement, including the exercise of the power to: (a) give and receive notices and communications to or from PAR3 (on behalf of itself of any other PAR3 Indemnified Person) and/or the Escrow Agent relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by such holders individually); (b) authorize the release or delivery to PAR3 of all or a portion of the Escrow Shares in satisfaction of indemnification claims by PAR3 or any other PAR3 Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article IX (including by not objecting to such claims); (c) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand arbitration or litigation of, and comply with orders of arbitrators or courts with respect to, (i) indemnification claims by PAR3 or any other PAR3 Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article IX or claims against PAR3 pursuant to Section 10.11 or (ii) any dispute between any PAR3 Indemnified Person and any such holder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; and (d) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Representative shall have authority and power to act on behalf of each Company Stockholder with respect to the disposition, settlement or other handling of all claims under this Article IX and all rights or obligations arising under this Article IX. The Company Stockholders shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Representative in connection with this Article IX, and PAR3 and other PAR3 Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Representative. The individual serving as the Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Shares then on deposit with the Escrow Agent upon not less than ten days prior written notice to PAR3. No bond shall be required of the Representative, and the Representative shall receive no compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Company Stockholders.

(b) In performing the functions specified in this Agreement, the Representative shall not be liable to any Company Stockholder in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Representative. Each Company Stockholder shall severally (based on each such holder’s Pro Rata Share), and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Representative from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Representative. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Company Stockholders, such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Representative from Escrow Shares otherwise distributable to the Company Stockholders (and not distributed or distributable to any PAR3 Indemnified Person or subject to a pending indemnification claim of any PAR3 Indemnified Person) following the Expiration Date pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Escrow Agreement, at the time of distribution, and such recovery will be made from the Company Stockholders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Delaware, irrespective of its conflicts of law principles, shall govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.

10.2 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of PAR3, including any successor to, or assignee of, all or substantially all of the business and assets of PAR3. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment in violation of this provision shall be void.

10.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original as regards any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all parties reflected hereon as signatories.

10.5 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereunder shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Agreement that have no adequate remedy at law were not performed in accordance with their terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically such terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any State having jurisdiction.

10.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto as provided in this Section 10.6 at any time before or after adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders, but, after such adoption, no amendment shall be made which by Applicable Law requires the further approval of the Company Stockholders without obtaining such further approval. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of Company and PAR3, by action taken by its Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to it contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for its benefit contained herein. No such waiver or extension shall be effective unless signed in writing by the party against whom such waiver or extension is asserted. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

10.7 Expenses. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, whether or not the Merger is successfully consummated, each party shall bear its respective legal, accountants, and financial advisory fees and other expenses incurred with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.8 Attorneys’ Fees. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as an element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed by the court or arbitration tribunal (including costs, expenses and fees on any appeal). The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment.

10.9 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either hand delivered in person, sent by facsimile, sent by certified or registered first-class mail, postage pre-paid, or sent by nationally recognized express courier service.

10.12 Public Announcement.
