Page 15 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for dissenters’ rights received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Oregon Law, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

(h) Investment of Exchange Fund.

Each of the Company, its Subsidiaries and all Company Representatives will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted prior to or on the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(b) “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean, with respect to the Company, any agreement, offer, proposal or indication of interest (other than this Agreement or any other offer, proposal or indication of interest by Parent), or any public announcement of intention to enter into any such agreement or of (or intention to make) any offer, proposal or bona fide indication of interest (including any request for information from the Company or the Company Representatives that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal), relating to, or involving the acquisition of all or a significant portion of the Company’s businesses, properties, assets or technologies, or any amount of the Company Capital Stock (whether or not outstanding), whether by merger, reorganization, purchase of stock, purchase of assets, tender offer, license or otherwise (other than issuances of Company Capital Stock pursuant to the exercise of outstanding Company Options or conversion of Company Preferred Stock).

The Company shall provide Parent with 24 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the Board of Directors of the Company) of any meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company at which the Board of Directors of the Company is reasonably expected to discuss any Acquisition Proposal.

Page 56 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) is, or would reasonably be expected to become, a Superior Proposal, then notwithstanding Section 5.2(a), the Company may, so long as the Requisite Shareholder Approval of the Merger and the Merger Agreement has not yet been obtained, (i) enter into discussions with such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) deliver or make available to such Person nonpublic information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, in every case, that the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives comply with each of the following: (A) neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any Company Representative shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2, (B) the Company’s Board of Directors first shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that taking such action is required in order to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company Shareholders under Oregon Law, (C) the Company first shall have provided Parent with written notice of the identity of such Person and all of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and of the Company’s intention to take such actions, (D) the Company first shall have received from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms at least as restrictive with regard to the Company’s confidential information as the Nondisclosure Agreement (as defined in Section 10.3), it being understood that such confidentiality agreement shall not include any provision calling for any exclusive right to negotiate with such Person or having the purported effect of restricting it from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement, (E) the Company first shall have given Parent at least 24 hours advance notice of its intent to take such actions, and (F) prior to or contemporaneously with delivering or making available any such nonpublic information to such Person, the Company shall deliver such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously delivered by the Company to Parent).

ARTICLE VI.

As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-4 (or any similar successor form thereto) with the SEC in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, together with a proxy statement/prospectus to be filed with the SEC as part of the registration statement on Form S-4. Each of the Company and Parent will provide each other with any information which may be required in connection with the preparation and filing of the proxy statement/prospectus and the registration statement on Form S-4. Each of the Company and Parent will respond to any comments of the SEC, will use its respective reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement on Form S-4 declared

Page 57 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and the Company and Parent will cause the proxy statement/prospectus to be mailed to the Company Shareholders at the earliest practicable time after the registration statement on Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC. Each of the Company and Parent will notify the other promptly (a) upon the occurrence of any event which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus or the registration statement on Form S-4 or (b) upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to proxy statement/prospectus or the registration statement on Form S-4 or for additional information and will supply the other with copies of all correspondence between such party or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff on the other hand, with respect to the proxy statement/prospectus or the registration statement on Form S-4.

6.2 Approval of the Company Shareholders.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4, the Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with this Agreement, Oregon Law, and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval for the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company’s obligation to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval shall not be limited to or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or any subsequent action by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b) (i) The Company’s Board of Directors shall recommend that the Company Shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”); (ii) subject to the provisions of the second sentence of this Section 6.2(b), the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any other disclosure document distributed to the Company Shareholders in connection with this transaction shall include a statement to the effect that the Company’s Board of Directors has recommended that the Company Shareholders vote in favor of and approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger; and (iii) subject to the provisions of the second sentence of this Section 6.2(b), neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that the Company Shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to receipt by the Company of the Requisite Shareholder Approval approving the Merger and adopting this Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors may withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation to the Company Shareholders if (i) it receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal and reasonably concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal, if accepted, is reasonably likely to be consummated (taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal, the likelihood of the proposal being financed and the Person making the proposal), and would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the Company Shareholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and (ii) it reasonably concludes in good faith (following the receipt of advice from outside counsel) that modification or withdrawal of its recommendation is required in order to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company Shareholders under Oregon Law (a “Superior Proposal”).

6.3 Reasonable Best Efforts; Third Party Consents.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article VII and to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the purpose of securing to the parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement.

All such consents, waivers and approvals shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent. In the event that the other parties to any such Contract, including any lessor or licensor of any Leased Real Property, conditions its grant of a consent, waiver or approval (including by threatening to exercise a “recapture” or other termination right) upon the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration, including increased rent payments or other payments under the Contract, (i) the Company shall not make or commit to make any such payment or provide any such consideration without Parent’s prior written consent, and (ii) any such payment shall be deemed to be a Transaction Expense for all purposes of and under this Agreement.

6.4 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent shall promptly execute and file, or join in the execution and filing of, any application, notification or other document that may be necessary in order to obtain the authorization, approval or consent of any Governmental Authority, whether federal, state, local or foreign, that may be reasonably required, or that Parent may reasonably request, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, approvals and consents. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly inform the other of any material communication between the Company or Parent (as applicable) and any Governmental Authority regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. If the Company or Parent or any affiliate thereof shall receive any formal or informal request for supplemental information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, then the Company or Parent (as applicable) shall make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable, a response in compliance with such request. Each of the Company and Parent shall direct, in its sole discretion, the making of such response, but shall consider in good faith the views of the other.

Page 59 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

(b) Without limiting the generality or effect of Section 6.4(a), each of the Company and Parent shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than ten (10) business days after the date hereof, make any initial filings required under the HSR Act. The parties hereto shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any other federal or state antitrust or fair trade law. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the Antitrust Laws. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall take any and all of the following actions to the extent necessary to obtain the approval of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the enforcement of any Applicable Laws regarding the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) entering into negotiations; (ii) providing information required by law or governmental regulation; and (iii) substantially complying with any second request for information pursuant to the Antitrust Laws.

6.5 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at or prior to the Effective Time, and (b) any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder. Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company of (x) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would cause any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at or prior to the Effective Time, and (y) any failure of Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall not (i) limit or otherwise affect any remedies otherwise available to Parent or the Company, as applicable, or (ii) constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach of this Agreement.

The Company shall provide to Parent and its accountants, counsel and other representatives copies of internal financial statements (including Tax Returns and supporting documentation) promptly upon request. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify, amend or supplement any representation or warranty set forth herein, the Company Disclosure Schedule or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, or limit any right to indemnification provided herein.

The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (utilizing the same accounting policies, practices and procedures used to prepare the Current Balance Sheet). The Company shall deliver the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet to Parent at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date. In the event that any information in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet becomes inaccurate prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver an updated Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and certification consistent with the first sentence of this Section 6.7(a) and such updated Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet” for all purposes hereunder.

Page 61 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

information relevant thereto or which Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably request (the “Spreadsheet”). The Company shall deliver the Spreadsheet to Parent at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date. In the event that any information in the Spreadsheet becomes inaccurate as a result of the exercise, after delivery of the Spreadsheet to Parent and prior to the Effective Time, of Company Options issued and outstanding as of the date hereof or the conversion of Company Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver an updated Spreadsheet and certification consistent with the first sentence of this Section 6.7(b) and such updated spreadsheet shall be deemed the “Spreadsheet” for all purposes hereunder.

(b) At least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with a statement of its estimated Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date, such statement showing detail of both the previously paid and currently unpaid Transaction Expenses of the Company incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as well as the Transaction Expenses that have been incurred or are expected to be incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, all in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and certified as true and correct by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

6.9 Employment Arrangements.

(a) At the discretion of Parent, certain persons who are employees of the Company immediately prior to the Closing Date may be offered “at-will” employment by Parent (which at-will employment may be for a transitional period), to be effective as of the Closing Date, upon proof of citizenship or appropriate employment authorization from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service or the U.S. Department of State evidencing a right to work in the United States and upon execution of an Employment, Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement in Parent’s standard form. Such “at-will” employment arrangements will (i) be set forth in offer letters (each, an “Offer Letter”), (ii) have terms,

Page 62 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

including the position, salary and responsibilities of such employee, to be determined by Parent in its sole discretion, and (iii) supersede any prior employment agreements and other arrangements with such employee in effect prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company and its affiliates, as applicable, shall each terminate any and all group severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements and any and all plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) plans shall not be terminated) (collectively, “Terminated Company Employee Plans”). Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than five business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Terminated Company Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Company’s board of directors. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Terminated Company Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. Parent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the roll over of any employee accrued benefits into Parent’s 401(k) plan.

(c) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 6.9, Sections 6.9(a) and 6.9(b) shall not be construed as adversely affecting, terminating, or voiding any accrued rights or obligations under the Company’s Change of Control plan.

6.10 Parent Common Stock Listing. If required by applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable, and those required to be reserved for issuance, in connection with the Merger to be authorized for listing on the Nasdaq National Market at or prior to the Closing Date.

6.11 Form S-8. Within twenty (20) business days after the Closing Date, Parent shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8, if available for use by Parent, registering that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all Company Options assumed by Parent pursuant to this Agreement that are eligible to be registered on Form S-8.

6.12 Employee Benefit Matters. Parent shall take such commercially reasonable actions, to the extent permitted by the Company’s health and welfare plans, to continue to maintain such health and welfare benefit plans until such time as, in Parent’s reasonable discretion, an orderly transition can be accomplished to employee benefit plans and programs maintained by Parent for its employees in the United States. To the extent that Parent transitions employees of the Company from the Company’s benefit plans to employee benefit plans and programs maintained by Parent, from and after the Effective Time, and to the extent permitted by such plans, Parent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such plans recognize the service of Company employees with the Company (to the same extent as service with Parent is taken into account with respect to similarly situated employees of Parent) prior to the Effective Time for (i) eligibility and vesting purposes and (ii) for purposes of vacation accrual after the Effective Time as if such service with the Company was service with Parent. Parent and the Company agree that where applicable with respect to any welfare benefit plan,

Page 63 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

including without limitation medical or dental benefit plan, of Parent, Parent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to waive any pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements (provided, however, that no such waiver shall apply to a pre-existing condition of any employee of the Company who was, as of the Effective Time, excluded from participation in a plan maintained by the Company by virtue of such pre-existing condition) and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any of Parent’s group health plans to the extent permitted by such plans. Nothing in this Section 6.12 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Parent or the Surviving Corporation to offer or continue the employment of any individual.

6.13 Section 280G Payments. If and to the extent necessary, as soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall submit to the Company Shareholders for approval (in a manner satisfactory to Parent), by such number of Company Shareholders as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, any Section 280G Payments (which initial determination shall be made by the Company and shall be subject to review and approval by Parent), such that such Section 280G Payments shall not be deemed to be Section 280G Payments, and prior to the Effective Time the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent that (a) a Company Shareholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and the requisite Company Shareholder approval was obtained with respect to any Section 280G Payments that were subject to the Company Shareholder vote, or (b) that the Company Shareholder approval of Section 280G Payments was not obtained and as a consequence, that such payments and/or benefits shall not be made or provided to the extent they would cause any amounts to constitute Section 280G Payments, pursuant to the waivers of those payments and/or benefits, which were executed by the affected individuals prior to the Company Shareholder vote.

6.14 Rule 145 Affiliates Section 6.14 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth those Persons who, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, are or may be “affiliates” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act (each such Person, a “Rule 145 Affiliate”). The Company shall provide Parent such information and documents as Parent shall reasonably request for purposes of reviewing such list. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent, as promptly as practicable on or following the date hereof, from each Rule 145 Affiliate who has not delivered a Rule 145 Affiliate Agreement on or prior to the date hereof, an executed Rule 145 Affiliate Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Rule 145 Affiliate Agreement”). Parent and Merger Sub will be entitled to place appropriate legends on the certificates evidencing any Parent Common Stock to be received by a Rule 145 Affiliate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and to issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for Parent Common Stock, consistent with the terms of each Rule 145 Affiliate Agreement.

6.15 Further Assurances. Each party hereto, at the request of another party hereto, shall execute and deliver such other certificates, instruments, agreements and other documents, and do and perform such other acts and things, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for purposes of effecting completely the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Page 64 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

6.16 Reorganization Matters. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that it will not engage in any action, or fail to take any action, and will cause its respective subsidiaries not to engage in any action, or fail to take any action, which action or failure to take action would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

6.17 Indemnification. Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification provision under any indemnification agreement to which the Company is a party, the articles of incorporation or bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement (each of the persons to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.17 shall be referred to as a “Company Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by Oregon law. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions with respect to indemnification and exculpation from liability substantially similar to those set forth in the articles of incorporation or bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would materially adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Company Indemnified Party.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any Indemnified Party may bring a claim for indemnification for any Loss under this Article VIII notwithstanding the fact that any Indemnified Party had knowledge of the breach, event or circumstance giving rise to such Loss prior to the Closing or waived any condition to the Closing related thereto.

8.4 Indemnification Claims.

(a) Parent shall give notice of any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 by delivering an Officer’s Certificate (as defined below) to the Shareholder Representative, with a copy to the Escrow Agent, for any claim for indemnification, at any time prior to the last day of the Escrow Period. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Officer’s Certificate” shall mean a certificate signed by any officer of Parent: (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained or incurred Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it will pay, sustain or incur Losses and setting forth the amount of such Losses, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Loss included in the amount so stated (and the method of computation of each such item of Loss, if applicable), the date each such item of Loss was paid, sustained or incurred, or the basis for such reasonably anticipated Loss(es), (iii) a brief description in reasonable detail (to the extent available to Parent) of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to each item of Loss based on Parent’s good faith belief thereof, including the identity and address of any third-party claimant and copies of any formal demand or complaint relating thereto, and (iv) the basis for indemnification under Section 8.2 to which such item of Loss is related (including, if applicable, the specific nature of the misrepresentation, or the breach of warranty or covenant).

(b) If the Shareholder Representative shall not object in writing pursuant to Section 8.4(d) to any individual items of Loss set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(a) within thirty (30) calendar days after the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, the Shareholder Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged and irrevocably consented, for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, (i) to the Indemnified Party recovery of the full amount of all such items of Loss set forth in such Officer’s Certificate solely to the extent that such Losses do not exceed the

Page 70 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

Escrow Amount at such time, and (ii) if and to the extent necessary, and without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Indemnifying Parties, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3(b) of this Agreement, for such items of Loss in any court having competent jurisdiction over the matter. Upon receipt of any Officer’s Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall not release any portion of the Escrow Amount to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties pursuant to this Agreement unless and until (i) the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholder Representative to release any portion of the Escrow Amount, or (ii) the Shareholder Representative shall have failed to object in writing pursuant to Section 8.4(d) to any individual items of Loss set forth in such Officer’s Certificate within thirty (30) calendar days after the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate.

(c) In the event that the Escrow Agent shall receive written authorization from the Shareholder Representative to release to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties any portion of the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 8.4(b), the Escrow Agent shall release such portion of the Escrow Amount in accordance with such written instructions, provided that any distributions to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties shall be made from cash (and Parent Common Stock if the amount of cash in the Escrow Amount is inadequate). In the event that the Shareholder Representative shall have failed to object in writing pursuant to Section 8.4(d) to any individual items of Loss set forth in an Officer’s Certificate relating to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 within thirty (30) calendar days after the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties (as instructed by Parent in writing) an amount of cash (and Parent Common Stock if the amount of cash in the Escrow Amount is inadequate) equal to the amount of all such items of Loss specified in such Officer’s Certificate with respect to which the Shareholder Representative has not objected in writing pursuant to Section 8.4(d). Any cash (and Parent Common Stock) released to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to reduce each Indemnifying Party’s interest in the Escrow Fund in accordance with his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund.

(d) In the event that the Shareholder Representative shall seek to contest any individual items of Loss set forth in an Officer’s Certificate received from Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(b), the Shareholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, of the Shareholder’s Representative’s objection, which notice shall set forth a brief description in reasonable detail of the Shareholder Representative’s basis for objecting to each item of Loss based on the Shareholder Representative’s good faith belief thereof. Upon Parent’s receipt of a written notice of objection from the Shareholder Representative pursuant to the preceding sentence, Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to the disputed items of Loss. If the Shareholder Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth the agreement reached by the parties with respect to such disputed items of Loss shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the instructions set forth in any such memorandum, provided that any distributions to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties shall be made from cash (and Parent Common Stock if the amount of cash in the Escrow Amount is inadequate).

Page 71 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

(e) If within sixty (60) days after the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, and after good faith negotiations, the parties are unable to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to any disputed items of Loss set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, either Parent or the Shareholder Representative may bring suit in the courts of the State of Oregon and the Federal courts of the United States of America, in each case, located within the county of Multnomah in the State of Oregon to resolve the matter. Any final judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, provided that any distributions to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties shall be made from cash (and Parent Common Stock if the amount of cash in the Escrow Amount is inadequate).

(f) Third-Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim which Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund or for other indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, Parent shall notify the Shareholder Representative of such claim, and the Shareholder Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, at its sole option and expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such claim. If there is a third party claim that, if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses hereunder, then any amounts incurred by the Indemnified Parties in defense of such third-party claim, regardless of the outcome of such claim, shall be deemed Losses hereunder. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Shareholder Representative, no settlement of any such claim with third-party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such matter or whether the Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto. In the event that the Shareholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the Indemnifying Parties shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by Parent against the Escrow Fund with respect to such settlement.

(g) For purposes of determining the amount of Parent Common Stock to be delivered out of the Escrow Amount to Parent or any other Indemnified Party or Parties pursuant to this Article VIII, shares of Parent Common Stock will be deemed to have a value per share equal to the Parent Signing Trading Price. If Parent is entitled to a delivery of Parent Common Stock hereunder, Parent shall calculate how many shares or Parent Common Stock shall be delivered to it and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to make any deliveries of Parent Common Stock hereunder unless it has received such calculations from Parent.

8.5 Escrow Arrangements.

(a) Escrow Fund. The Escrow Amount shall constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed by the terms set forth herein. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any indemnification claims arising under Section 8.2.

Page 72 – Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization

(b) Escrow Periods; Distribution of Escrow Funds upon Termination of Escrow Period. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time. Any and all amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund (less any amount which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, is necessary to satisfy any unresolved claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate that is delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Survival Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing on or prior to the Survival Date) shall be released from the Escrow Fund as promptly as practicable after the Survival Date (such fifteen-month period, the “Escrow Period”). Following the termination of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each of the Indemnifying Parties such Person’s Pro Rata Portion (if any) of the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy any then pending claims against the Escrow Fund, and shall deliver to each of the Indemnifying Parties such Person’s Pro Rata Portion (if any) of the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund, if any, following resolution of all such claims. Upon termination of the Escrow Period, Parent and the Shareholder’s Representative shall jointly notify the Escrow Agent in writing that the Escrow Fund may be distributed and the allocation of such distribution. The Escrow Agent will incur no liability, and shall be fully protected, in relying on such joint notice and shall have no obligation to take any action until it has received such notice.

(c) Protection of Escrow Fund; Interest in Escrow Fund; Dividends on Parent Common Stock in Escrow Fund.

(i) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat the Escrow fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Parent (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.6(c)(ii)) and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII.

(ii) The Escrow Fund shall be invested in shares of the Dreyfus General Money Market Fund/B and any interest paid on such cash portion of the Escrow Fund shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof and available for satisfaction of claims and, if not delivered to Parent in satisfaction of claims for Losses, shall be distributed to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with such Person’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 8.5(b). The parties and the Escrow Agent hereto agree that Parent is the owner of any cash in the Escrow Fund, and that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of such cash pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as earned by Parent.

(iii) All dividends paid on Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund shall be distributed to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with such Person’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund as promptly as practicable after the date such dividends are paid to the Escrow Fund.

(iii) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.

(iv) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.

(v) In performing any duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Person for damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, claims, settlements, judgments, costs or expenses, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent (each as may be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(vi) If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and the Escrow Fund and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, may be required, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may at its option, file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and the Escrowed Amount held in escrow at any time, except all costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action and which the parties jointly and severally agree to pay. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.

(vii) In the event the Escrow Agent believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Escrow Agent hereunder, Escrow Agent, may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to Parent, Company or any Shareholder or other Person for refraining from taking such action, unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions signed by Parent and the Shareholder’s Representative which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent.

10.2 Public Disclosure. No party shall issue any statement or communication to any third party (other than to their respective agents) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that this restriction shall be subject to Parent’s obligation to comply with applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq National Market; provided that Parent shall first use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the Company about the form and substance of such disclosure.

10.3 Confidentiality. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the information obtained in any investigation pursuant to Section 6.6, or pursuant to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the effectuation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by the terms of the Nondisclosure Agreement dated February 28, 2006 (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”) between the Company and Parent.

10.4 Entire Agreement. Other than with respect to the Escrow Agent, for whom this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, this Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Nondisclosure Agreement, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

10.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Article II and Section 6.17, this Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Nondisclosure Agreement, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder.
