terms of the Company Stock Option Plan, all Company Stock Options shall be accelerated prior to the Effective Time and any Company Stock Options not exercised by the Effective Time shall be terminated.

Between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, Buyer and the Company shall cooperate in determining procedures for holders of Company Stock Options to exercise their Company Stock Options without the payment of cash (and their receipt of the Per Share Common Consideration less the per share exercise price for each share issuable upon exercise of the Company Stock Option), if the parties jointly agree on such procedures.

Section 2.8 Company Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, each of the Common Warrants that is outstanding and unexercised shall, following the Effective Time, remain outstanding and shall automatically be adjusted so that the holder thereof shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of such Common Warrant (and payment of the applicable exercise price thereunder), the Per Share Common Amount multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under such Common Warrant at the time of the exercise thereof.

(b) At the Effective Time, each of the Series E Warrants that is outstanding and unexercised shall, following the Effective Time, remain outstanding and shall automatically be adjusted so that the holder thereof shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of such Series E Warrant (and payment of the applicable exercise price thereunder), the Series E Closing Payment multiplied by the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock purchasable under such Series E Warrant at the time of the exercise thereof.

(c) At the Effective Time, each of the Series C Warrants that is outstanding and unexercised shall, following the Effective Time, remain outstanding and shall automatically be adjusted so that the holder thereof shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of such Series C Warrant (and payment of the applicable exercise price thereunder), the Per Series C Share Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchasable under such Series C Warrant at the time of the exercise thereof.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.8 shall not apply to any Company Warrants that have been exercised prior to the Effective Time and any Shares resulting from the exercise of any Company Warrants prior to the Effective Time shall only be entitled to receive the applicable consideration set forth in Section 2.6 of this Agreement.

(e) Except for the foregoing adjustments, all of the terms and conditions in effect for each Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue in effect in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 2.9 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) No Further Rights as Company Shareholders. At the Effective Time, all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no holder of record of a certificate that immediately prior

to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (a “Certificate”) shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to Buyer, together with a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and the Company, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, (i) the holder of a Certificate representing Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount equal to (A) the Per Share Common Amount multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock represented by such Certificate, (ii) the holder of a Certificate representing Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore a cash amount equal to (A) the applicable Per Preferred Share Consideration (B) the number of shares of the applicable series of Preferred Stock represented by such Certificate, and (iii) the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Letter of Transmittal shall specify that delivery of the applicable payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to Buyer. Buyer shall, no later than two Business Days after receipt of each properly surrendered Certificate, cause the payment described in the first sentence of this Section 2.9(b) to be made to the holder of such Certificate by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such holder in the letter of transmittal delivered with such Certificate. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive the applicable cash amount specified in this Agreement for each of such Shares (subject to the provisions hereof relating to the Escrow Fund). If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Buyer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.9.

(c) Transfers of Ownership. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall thereafter be no further registration of transfers of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the records of the Company.

(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9, neither Buyer nor the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar law.

Section 2.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Buyer shall pay to the record holder of such Certificate the consideration into which the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 2.6, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by such record holder; provided, however, that Buyer may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such consideration, require such record holder to deliver a bond in such sum as Buyer may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Buyer or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate.

Section 2.11 Withholding Rights.

(a) Each of the Surviving Corporation and Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Sections 2.6 or 2.7 such amounts, if any, as the Surviving Corporation or Buyer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the payment of such consideration under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or under any provision of any other Tax law.

(b) To the extent that amounts are properly withheld from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Sections 2.6 or 2.7 as provided in this Section 2.11, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Former Shareholder.

Section 2.12 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which is held by a shareholder who did not consent to or vote in favor of the approval of this Agreement, which shareholder complies with all of the provisions of Florida Law relevant to the exercise of dissenters’ rights (such share being a “Dissenting Share,” and such shareholder being a “Dissenting Shareholder”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration to which the holder of such share would be entitled pursuant to Section 2.6, but rather shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Share pursuant to Florida Law. If any Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect such shareholder’s dissenters’ rights under Florida Law or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses such rights with respect to any Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon automatically be converted into the right to receive the consideration referred to in Section 2.6, pursuant to the exchange procedures set forth in Section 2.9. The Company shall give Buyer (a) prompt notice of any demand for payment of the fair value of any Shares or any attempted withdrawal of any such demand for payment and any other instrument served pursuant to Florida Law and received by the Company relating to any shareholder’s dissenters’ rights, and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for payment under Florida Law. The Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or make a binding offer to settle, any such demand for payment at any time prior to the Closing, unless the Company shall have first obtained Buyer’s prior written consent.

Section 2.13 Earnout Payment.

(a) Within forty-five (45) days after the completion of audited financial statements for the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholder Representatives a statement of the Revenue Amount and the Runoff Revenue (the “Earnout Amount Statement”). The Earnout Amount Statement shall: (i) set forth the Revenue Amount and the Runoff Revenue in the reasonable detail; and (ii) be based upon the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and the principles, policies and procedures used by Buyer in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Buyer and its Subsidiaries. The Shareholder Representatives, and any accountants or advisors retained by the Shareholder Representatives, shall be permitted to reasonably review Buyer’s working papers

related to the preparation of the Earnout Amount Statement and the books and records of Buyer and its Subsidiaries for the purposes of reviewing such Earnout Amount Statement.

(b) The Earnout Amount Statement shall be final and binding on the parties unless the Shareholder Representatives shall, within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Earnout Amount Statement, deliver to Buyer written notice of any disagreement with such statement, which notice shall describe in the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identify the specific items involved and, if practicable, the dollar amount of each such disagreement. If the Shareholder Representatives raise any objections within the such thirty (30) day period, then the Shareholder Representatives and Buyer shall attempt to resolve such objections. If the Shareholder Representatives and Buyer are unable to resolve all disagreements within thirty (30) days of receipt by Buyer of a written notice of disagreement, (or such longer period as may be agreed by Buyer and the Shareholder Representatives), then, within ten (10) days thereafter, the Shareholder Representatives and Buyer shall appoint Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, LLC for purposes of resolving any such disagreements (or, if Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, LLC shall not be able to serve, the Shareholder Representatives and Buyer shall jointly select a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm that is not the independent auditor of any of Buyer, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to resolve such disagreements). If Buyer and the Shareholder Representatives are unable to select an arbiter within such ten (10) day time period, the American Arbitration Association shall make such selection. The person selected to resolve such disagreements pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be referred to as the “Arbitrator.” The Arbitrator will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Earnout Amount Statement as to which Buyer and the Shareholder Representatives have disagreed and such Arbitrator shall resolve any such disagreements in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In submitting a dispute to the Arbitrator, each of the parties shall concurrently furnish, at its own respective expense, to the Arbitrator and the other party such documents and information as the Arbitrator may request. Each party may also furnish to the Arbitrator such other information and documents as it deems relevant, with copies of such submission and all such documents and information being concurrently given to the other party. Neither party shall have or conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the Arbitrator without the other party either being present or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. The Arbitrator may conduct a conference concerning the objections and disagreements between the Shareholder Representatives and Buyer, at which conference each party shall have the right to (i) present its documents, materials and other evidence (previously provided to the Arbitrator and the other party), and (ii) have present its advisors, accountants, counsel and other representatives. The Arbitrator shall resolve each item of disagreement based solely on the presentations and supporting material provided by the parties and not pursuant to any independent review (provided, however, the Arbitrator shall be permitted to conduct any necessary independent research of facts or determining proper application of GAAP or the terms of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of the objections and disagreement between the parties). As promptly as practicable, the Arbitrator shall issue a detailed written report that sets forth the resolution of all items in dispute and that contains a final Earnout Amount Statement according to the dispute(s) noticed. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties (the date on which the Earnout Amount Statement is accepted or finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.13 is referred to as the “Earnout Determination Date”). The Arbitrator may choose to circulate a preliminary report for the comment of the parties. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator incurred in connection with the determination of the disputed

items by the Arbitrator shall be borne by the parties in inverse proportion to that percentage of the aggregate amounts disputed pursuant to this Section 2.13 are awarded to the parties by the Arbitrator in its written report. The Buyer and the Shareholder Representatives shall, and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cooperate fully with the Arbitrator and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Arbitrator or by other parties hereto, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all disputes relating to the Earnout Amount Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(c) Within ten (10) days following the Earnout Determination Date, (i) if the Revenue Amount exceeds the First Target Amount, Buyer shall make the First Target Earnout Payment, and (ii) if the Revenue Amount exceeds the Second Target Amount, in addition to the First Target Earnout Payment, Buyer shall make the Second Target Earnout Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (x) Buyer shall not have any obligation to make any payments under this Section 2.13(c) if the Revenue Amount is less than or equal to the First Target Amount; (y) the First Target Earnout Payment shall not exceed $50,000,000; and (z) the Second Target Earnout Payment shall not exceed $8,000,000.

To illustrate the effects of this Section 2.13(c): (i) if the Revenue Amount is less than or equal to $102,100,000, Buyer would not make any payment under this Section 2.13; (ii) if the Revenue Amount is $106,000,000, Buyer would only be required to make the First Target Earnout Payment and such payment would be in an amount equal to $22,159,090 (this equation is expressed numerically as follows: $22,159,090 = $50,000,000 x ($106,000,000 — $102,100,000 (i.e., the First Target Amount)) ¸ $8,800,000); (iii) if the Revenue Amount is equal to $110,900,000, Buyer would only be required to make the First Target Earnout Payment and such payment would be in an amount equal to $50,000,000 (this equation is expressed numerically as follows: $50,000,000 = $50,000,000 x ($110,900,000 — $102,100,000 (i.e., the First Target Amount)) ¸ $8,800,000); and (iv) if the Revenue Amount is equal to $118,900,000, Buyer would be required to make (x) the First Target Earnout Payment in an amount equal to $50,000,000 (because the First Target Earnout Payment is capped at $50,000,000) (this equation is expressed numerically as follows: $50,000,000 = $50,000,000 x ($110,900,000 (the maximum Revenue Amount for purposes of calculating the First Target Earnout Payment) — $102,100,000 (i.e., the First Target Amount)) ¸ $8,800,000), and (y) the Second Target Earnout Payment in an amount equal to $8,000,000 (this equation is expressed numerically as follows: $8,000,000 = $118,900,000 — $110,900,000 (i.e., the Second Target Amount)).

(d) Within ten (10) days following the Earnout Determination Date, if there is any Runoff Revenue, Buyer shall make the Runoff Earnout Payment.

(e) In order to ensure that the Company is afforded the full opportunity to receive the payments provided for in Sections 2.13(c) and (d), (i) Buyer shall provide to the Company and the Company shall expend a commercially reasonable amount of resources, qualified personnel and support to allow the Company to have a reasonable opportunity to achieve the revenue targets required to earn the Earn Out Payments pursuant to Section 2.13(c) and (d), and (ii) Buyer shall not take, and shall not cause the Company to take, directly or indirectly, any action that would circumvent the purpose or intent of Section 2.13. The parties hereto agree that neither Buyer nor the Company owes any fiduciary duty or express or implied duty to the Former Shareholders, such as an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, but

instead the parties intend the express provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation this Section 2.13 hereof) to govern their contractual relationship.

(f) Any payments made by Buyer pursuant to Sections 2.13(c) or (d) hereof shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Shareholder Representatives and such amounts shall be distributed by the Shareholder Representatives to persons who were holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time pro rata in accordance with their rights under the terms of this Agreement and the existing terms of their securities as consented to by Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 2.14 Taking of Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in their respective names to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary or desirable action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Employee Matters.

(a) Subject to the final sentence of Section 5.5(b), at the Effective Time, Buyer shall offer to continue the employment of all persons who were, immediately prior to the Effective Time, employees of Company or its Subsidiaries (“Company Employees”) with “at will” employment at substantially the same level of responsibility and at substantially the same level of salary and other benefits as such Company Employees have immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) To the extent that Buyer, its sole discretion, enrolls any Company Employees in Buyer plans, programs, policies, practices or other arrangements providing for employment, compensation, retirement, deferred compensation, loans, severance, separation, termination pay, performance awards, bonus, incentive, stock option, stock purchase, stock bonus, phantom stock, stock appreciation right, supplemental retirement, fringe benefits, cafeteria benefits or other benefits, whether written or unwritten, including each “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA (the “Buyer Employee Plans”), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health plans of Buyer or its Affiliates to be waived with respect to such Company Employees and their eligible dependents, (2) give each such Company Employee credit for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs towards applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket limits for medical expenses incurred prior to the Effective Time for which payment has been made, and (3) give such Company Employees service credit for their employment with Company or any of its Subsidiaries for eligibility and vesting purposes (but not for benefit accrual) under any such applicable Buyer Employee Plan, as if such service had been performed with Buyer. Nothing in this Section 5.5 is intended to prevent Buyer from (1) terminating any of its benefit plans in a manner that does not affect the vested or other pre-existing rights of any Company Employee or (2) terminating the employment of any Company Employee; provided, however, that Buyer shall, in its sole discretion (and in whatever combination it deems appropriate), for not less than one year following the Effective Time, with respect to the Company Employees (A) continue the benefit plans of the Company substantially as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; (B) replace such benefit plans with plans with coverage and benefit levels comparable to such benefit plans; or (C) enroll such Company Employees in the Buyer Employee Plans.

Section 5.6 Indemnification of Officers and Directors of the Company.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement (the persons entitled to be indemnified pursuant to such provisions, and all other current and former directors and officers of the Company, being referred to collectively as the “D&O Indemnified Parties”). Buyer shall cause the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain the provisions with respect to indemnification and exculpation from liability set forth in the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.6(a), during the period commencing from the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless each D&O Indemnified Party against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such D&O Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any D&O Indemnified Party delivers to Buyer a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 5.6(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (i) Buyer will have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time, (ii) any counsel retained by the D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to the defense thereof for any period after the Effective Time must be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and (iii) after the Effective Time, Buyer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, promptly after statements therefor are received; provided that in the event of a final nonappealable judicial determination that any D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, any amounts advanced on his or her behalf shall be remitted to the Surviving Corporation); provided, further, that neither Buyer nor the Surviving Corporation, nor any D&O Indemnified Party, will be liable for any settlement effected without its, his or her express written consent. The D&O Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm (in addition to local counsel) to represent them with respect to any single action unless counsel for any D&O Indemnified Party determines in good faith that, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict exists or is reasonably likely to arise on any material issue between the positions of any two or more D&O Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.6(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 5.6 unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all D&O Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(c) During the period commencing from the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Buyer shall maintain in effect the current level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a copy of which has been heretofore delivered to Buyer); provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to substitute such current insurance policy with a policy of at least the same coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions that are at least as beneficial to the beneficiaries of the Company’s current insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in lieu of maintaining the Company’s current insurance policy or obtaining a substitute insurance policy, Buyer shall have the right to obtain a “tail” policy on substantially the same terms and conditions as the current insurance policy with respect to claims arising out of acts or conduct occurring on or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) in connection with

maintaining such current insurance policy, obtaining any substitute insurance policy or obtaining any “tail” policy, Buyer shall not in any circumstance be required to expend in any one year any amounts in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for its current insurance policy; provided that Buyer shall be obligated to maintain or obtain an insurance policy or a “tail” policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(d) Buyer and the Surviving Corporation jointly and severally agree to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the D&O Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 5.6.

(e) This Section 5.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time, is intended to benefit and may be enforced by the D&O Indemnified Parties, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation.

Section 5.7 FIRPTA Certificate. The Company shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing a duly executed and acknowledged certificate, in form and substance acceptable to Buyer and in compliance with the Code and Treasury regulations, certifying such facts as to establish that the sale of the Shares is exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of the Code.

Section 5.8 Other Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause the satisfaction of the requirements of Schedule 5.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any payments to any person (or agree to make any such payments) in order to satisfy the foregoing obligations (other than any payments contemplated by such agreements, as applicable, each as in effect as of the date of this Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any payments to any person (or agree to make any such payments) in order to obtain any such consents, waivers or novations (other than any payments contemplated by such agreements, as applicable, each as in effect as of the date of this Agreement).

The Escrow Fund shall be governed by the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement and shall be available to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Amounts released from the Escrow Fund to the Shareholder Representatives shall be distributed to the Former Shareholders who contributed to the Escrow Fund in accordance with the rights of such Former Shareholders under this Agreement and the current terms of their securities as determined by the Shareholder Representatives with the consent of Buyer (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any amounts paid to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article VII relating to payments made to holders of Series E Preferred Stock under this Agreement shall be borne to the maximum extent possible by the Former Shareholders who immediately prior to the Effective Time held both Common Stock and Series E Preferred Stock and the rights of such Former Shareholders to any amounts released from the Escrow Fund pursuant to this Article VII and the Escrow Agreement shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 7.2 Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all Losses that are incurred or suffered by Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of them by reason of a Buyer Indemnification Event.

Section 7.3 Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(a) “Buyer Indemnification Event” means (i) the failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Article III to be accurate as of the date of this Agreement, (ii) the breach or non-fulfillment in any respect of any covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement or in any agreement, instrument or other writing delivered to Buyer in connection with this Agreement, (iii) the incurrence by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties of any Losses relating to or arising from the Company Option Actions, (iv) the incurrence by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties of any Losses relating to, arising from or in connection with the Preferred Consents, (v) the incurrence by Buyer of any Losses relating to, arising from or in connection with the exercise of dissenters’ rights by the Dissenting Shareholders (it being understood that any amounts less than or equal to the consideration that would have been received by such Dissenting Shareholder under Article II hereof that are paid to the Dissenting Shareholders in connection with the exercise of dissenters’ rights pursuant to Florida Law shall not constitute Losses for purposes of this Article VII) or (vi) the incurrence by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties of any Losses relating to or arising from any sales, use or similar Taxes arising from activities conducted prior to the Effective Time and that are attributable to (A) the Company’s sales to its customers of prepaid cards, stored value cards or other similar devices or products, and (B) the provision of services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Losses related to any litigation set forth on Schedule 3.13 shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article VII.

(b) “Buyer Indemnified Parties” means Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective representatives, successors and assigns.

(c) “Indemnification Notice” means a written notice in reasonable detail stating a demand for indemnification in accordance with this Article VII.

Section 7.4 Deductible. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any amount for the Buyer Indemnification Events described in Section 7.3(a)(i) (unless such events involve fraud or willful misconduct) or the Buyer Indemnification Events described in Section 7.3(a)(ii) (if and only if such events did not result from the voluntary actions or omissions of the Company) (the “Limited Indemnification Events”) until and unless the amount which Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to recover in respect of such Limited Indemnification Events exceeds, in the aggregate, $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover to the extent of the excess of the Deductible. No Losses in respect of a claim based on a Buyer Indemnification Event shall be included in determining whether the Deductible has been reached unless an Indemnification Notice seeking indemnification for such Losses has been given by Buyer Indemnified Parties to the Shareholder Representatives in accordance with this Article VII. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Deductible shall not be applicable to the (x)

Buyer Indemnification Events described in Section 7.3(a)(ii) (if and only if such events result from the voluntary actions or omissions of the Company) and (y) the Buyer Indemnification Events described in Sections 7.3(a)(iii) through (vi) (clauses (x) and (y), the “Specific Events”) or any Buyer Indemnification Events described in Section 7.3(a)(i) that involve fraud or willful misconduct (“Fraud Indemnification Events” and, collectively with the Specific Events, “Unlimited Indemnification Events”).

Section 7.5 Cap. Except with respect to fraud or willful misconduct, the maximum aggregate amount recoverable by Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to the Limited Indemnification Events shall be equal to the Escrow Fund plus five (5%) percent of any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof (the “Cap”); provided that Buyer will not make a claim with respect to such additional 5% until it has made demands with respect to all of the Escrow Fund. With respect to Fraud Indemnification Events, (a) if such fraud or willful misconduct is committed by the Company, then each Former Shareholder, Option Holder and Warrant Holder shall be liable for its pro rata portion of the Losses caused thereby (based on the aggregate amounts payable to such persons under this Agreement) and (b) if such fraud or willful misconduct is committed by any Former Shareholder, Option Holder or Warrant Holder, then only such person or persons committing the fraud or willful misconduct shall be liable for the Losses caused thereby; provided, however, that, in no event, shall any person be liable pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) for any amounts in excess of the amounts received or receivable by such person under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Cap shall not be applicable to the Unlimited Indemnification Events (except that the Cap shall be applicable to the Buyer Indemnification Event described in Section 7.3(a)(vi)).

Section 7.6 Threshold Amounts. Claims arising from any Limited Indemnification Events that involve Losses of less than $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article VII and shall not be counted toward satisfaction of the Deductible and any such claims (or series of related claims) that involve Losses equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount shall be counted toward the satisfaction of Deductible and, once the Deductible has been satisfied, shall be entitled to indemnification as set forth in this Article VII. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) the omission of items involving amounts less than or equal to the Threshold Amount from the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of Article III of this Agreement by the Company, and (B) Losses arising from or related to any of the Unlimited Indemnification Events shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article VII regardless of the amount of such Losses.

Section 7.7 Procedure.

(a) In the event that a Buyer Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) shall incur or suffer any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII from any other Party or Parties (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall submit an Indemnification Notice stating the nature and basis of such claim. The Indemnification Notice shall set forth: (i) the specific representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the alleged breach of such

representation, warranty or covenant; and (iii) a reasonably detailed description of, and a reasonable estimate of the total amount of, the Losses actually incurred or expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party as a direct result of such alleged breach. In the case of Losses arising by reason of any third-party claim, the Indemnification Notice shall be given within thirty (30) days of the filing or other written assertion of any such claim against the Indemnified Party, but the failure of the Indemnified Party to give the Indemnification Notice within such time period shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

(b) From the Closing Date until the first anniversary thereof, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall deliver a copy of any Indemnification Notice delivered to the Shareholder Representatives to the Escrow Agent contemporaneously with the delivery of such Indemnification Notice to the Shareholder Representatives.

(c) The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party on request all information and documentation in the Indemnified Party’s possession (A) that is not privileged and is reasonably necessary to the defense of the claim for indemnification and (B) that is critical (whether or not privileged) to support and verify any Losses which the Indemnified Party believes give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder and shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access to all books, records and personnel in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party which would have bearing on such claim.

(d) In the case of third-party claims with respect to which an Indemnification Notice is given, the Indemnifying Party shall have the option to (A) conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith, (B) take all other steps to settle or defend any such claim and (C) employ counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choosing to contest any such claim in the name of the Indemnified Party or otherwise; provided, that unless a settlement of a claim contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, no settlement shall be effected without the advance written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and by its own counsel in any proceedings relating to any third-party claim, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate with counsel of its own choice at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if representation of both parties by the same counsel presents a conflict of interest or is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct. The Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Indemnification Notice, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume the defense of any such claim. Until the Indemnified Party has received notice of the Indemnifying Party’s election whether to defend any such claim, the Indemnified Party shall take reasonable steps to defend (but may not settle) such claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall elect to assume the defense of any such claim, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall execute such documents and take such other actions as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request for the purpose of facilitating the defense of, or any settlement, compromise or adjustment relating to, such matter. If the Indemnifying Party shall decline to assume the defense of any such claim, or shall fail to notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice of the Indemnifying

Party’s election to defend such claim, the Indemnified Party shall proceed diligently to defend such claim. The expenses of all proceedings, in respect of any such claims (other than those incurred by the Indemnified Party which are referred to in the second sentence of this subparagraph (iii)) shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party but only if the Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant hereto to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim and, if applicable, only to the extent required by this Article VII. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense of the claim, the parties agree to cooperate fully with one another in connection therewith.

Section 7.8 No Limitation on Right to Contest. Nothing in this Article VII shall be construed as a limitation on the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest in good faith whether the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII with respect to a particular claim.

Section 7.9 Sole Remedy. Except with respect to acts of fraud or willful misconduct, the indemnification provided for in this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for all matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) the Cap, the Deductible and the Threshold shall not be applicable to the amounts recoverable by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in connection with Unlimited Indemnification Events (except that the Cap shall be applicable to the Buyer Indemnification Events described in Section 7.3(a)(vi)), and (B) if Losses related to any Unlimited Indemnification Events (other than the Buyer Indemnification Events described in Section 7.3(a)(vi)) exceed the outstanding balance of the Escrow Fund on any particular date (or if the Escrow Fund has terminated on the first anniversary of the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement), the Former Shareholders, Option Holders and Warrant Holders, as applicable, shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.5(b), on a pro rata basis, directly indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for such Losses; provided, however, that no such Former Shareholder, Option Holder or Warrant Holder shall have an obligation to indemnify Buyer pursuant to the foregoing for any Losses in excess of the amounts received by such person in connection with this Agreement.

Section 7.10 Availability of Insurance; Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from their insurance providers with respect to any Losses for which indemnity may be sought under this Article VII and for which insurance may be available, and (b) all Losses shall be net of any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received by or on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be permitted to receive indemnification for Losses out of the Escrow Fund (if applicable) regardless of whether the Buyer Indemnified Parties may be entitled to recover such Losses from their insurance providers, although upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third-parties (including insurance providers) with

respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 7.11 Termination of Indemnification. The indemnification provided for in connection with the Limited Indemnification Events shall terminate on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (and no claims shall be made by any party thereafter) and the indemnification provided for in connection with the Unlimited Indemnification Events (except with respect to the Buyer Indemnification Events described in Section 7.3(a)(ii)) shall survive until 30 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any exclusions thereof), except that a party’s right to indemnification hereunder shall continue as to any Losses of which such party has validly given an Indemnification Notice in accordance with the requirements of this Article VII on or prior to such one-year anniversary or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, as the case may be, and the associated indemnity obligations shall continue solely with respect to the specific matters in such Indemnification Notice until the liability shall have been determined pursuant to this Article VII.

(b) The identity of the Shareholder Representatives and the terms of the agency may be changed, and successor Shareholder Representatives may be appointed, from time to time (including in the event of the death, disability or other incapacity of the Shareholder Representatives) by those Former Shareholders, Option Holders and Warrant Holders whose Shares represented a majority of the as-converted-to shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any such successor shall succeed the Shareholder Representatives as Shareholder Representatives hereunder.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide the Shareholder Representatives with reasonable access to information about the Surviving Corporation and the reasonable assistance of the officers and employees of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation for purposes of performing his duties and exercising his rights under this Agreement; provided that the Shareholder Representatives shall treat confidentially any nonpublic information he receives from Buyer regarding the Surviving Corporation (except that the Shareholder Representatives may disclose any such information to the extent necessary to perform its duties or exercise its rights under this Agreement).

Section 8.2 Actions of the Shareholder Representatives. From and after the Effective Time, a decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representatives shall require the decision, act, consent or instruction of both of the Shareholder Representatives and shall constitute a decision of all Former Shareholders, Option Holders and Warrant Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each Former Shareholder, Option Holder and Warrant Holder, and the Escrow Agent and Buyer may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representatives as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each Former Shareholder, Option Holder and Warrant Holder. Buyer and Surviving Corporation are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by the Shareholder Representatives and any acts done by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representatives.

Section 8.3 Establishment of Shareholder Representatives Expenses Fund.

(b) The Shareholder Representatives may, from time to time, withdraw amounts from the Shareholder Representatives Expense Account for the payment of Shareholder Representatives Expenses. Upon the date that the Shareholder Representatives determine

reasonably that the funds in the Shareholder Representatives Expense Account are no longer necessary to be maintained for the performance of the obligations of the Shareholder Representatives, and if there shall then be any amount on deposit in the Shareholder Representative Expense Account, the Shareholder Representatives shall promptly distribute such amount based upon a pro rata distribution of amounts released from the Shareholder Representatives Expenses Fund to all former holders of Common Stock based on their holdings thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time.

ARTICLE IX

Section 10.5 Access to Records after Closing. For a period of 12 months after the Closing Date, the Shareholder Representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records of the Surviving Corporation to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by the Shareholder Representatives in connection with any legitimate matter relating to or affected by the operations of the Company on or prior to the Closing Date. Such access shall be afforded by Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours.

Section 10.7 Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Section 10.8 Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants; provided, however, that the Company shall be responsible only for fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of legal counsel, accountants and other advisors or service providers incurred by the Company or its shareholders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in an amount up to $250,000 (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, any fees, costs, expenses or disbursements of accountants for the Company in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements as of, and for the periods ended, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, or in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of, and for the period ended, March 31, 2005, shall be considered to be in the ordinary course of business and not “in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby”).

Section 10.9 Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

Section 10.10 Execution in Counterparts; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the Shareholder Representatives, the Company, Buyer and the Merger Sub. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto) any rights, remedies or benefits hereunder.

Section 10.11 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations or otherwise to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the Merger in any court other than a court of the United States located in the State of Delaware or any Delaware State court and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MERGER.
