2.4 Conversion of Shares in First Merger.

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub One Common Stock. At the Effective Time of the First Merger, each share of Merger Sub One Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into 10,000 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company, and the shares of the Company into which the shares of Merger Sub One Common Stock are so converted shall be the only shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time of the First Merger.

(b) Conversion of Company Capital Stock. By way of overview, the Aggregate Stockholder Payments will be allocated as follows; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Closing Cash is less than an amount equal to (i) the Dividend Amount less (ii) Escrowed Bookings (such cash shortfall amount, the “Unfunded Bookings Portion Dividend Amount”) (such that the entire Dividend Amount portion of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments cannot be fully funded with Closing Cash), then Acquiror will, in addition to funding the Cash Consideration, also fund the Unfunded Bookings Portion Dividend Amount, so that the entire Dividend Amount can be paid in cash at the Effective Time of the First Merger, and in that case, in the event that, at the six month anniversary of the Effective Time of the First Merger, the total collections of Bookings are less than the aggregate amount needed to (x) fully fund the Employee Cash Bonus Pool Amount (after allocation of Closing Cash to the Employee Cash Bonus Pool Amount at Closing pursuant to Section 2.8 and after release of all Escrowed Bookings for such purpose in accordance with Section 2.8 and the Escrow Agreement) and (y) reimburse the Acquiror in full for the Unfunded Bookings Portion Dividend Amount, then Acquiror will have an indemnity claim for such uncollected Bookings amount (“Closing Bookings Shortfall Amount”), without regard to the Basket. First, the Series C Aggregate Preference Amount, Series B Aggregate Preference Amount and the Series A Aggregate Preference Amount will be allocated to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B

Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, respectively; provided, however, for this purpose the portion of the Dividend Amount (and Dividend Bonus Subtraction Amount deemed distributed pursuant to Section 2.8) allocated to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to reduce the Series C Aggregate Preference Amount, the Series B Aggregate Preference Amount and the Series A Aggregate Preference Amount, respectively, on a dollar for dollar basis. Then, the remaining amount of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments will be allocated to the shares of Participating Stock pro rata to the number of shares of Participating Stock deemed held. In each case, (i) the portions of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments allocated to each Company Stockholder shall be divided between cash and shares of Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with Company Stockholder elections pursuant to Section 6.1(c) and the provisions of Section 2.13, and (ii) of the portions of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments allocated to each Company Stockholder, an amount of cash equal to such portion multiplied by the Escrow Percentage (or such lesser percentage as set forth in Section 2.7(d)) shall be deposited into escrow pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(i) Series C Preferred Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time of the First Merger, each share of Series C Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and represent the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments equal to the Series C Per Share Preference Amount plus the Per Share Stock Participation Amount, such amount to be allocated between cash and shares of Acquiror Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.13 hereof.

(ii) Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time of the First Merger, each share of Series B Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and represent the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments equal to the Series B Per Share Preference Amount, such amount to be allocated between cash and shares of Acquiror Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.13 hereof.

(iii) Series A Preferred Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time of the First Merger, each share of Series A Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and represent the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments equal to the Series A Per Share Preference Amount, such amount to be allocated between cash and shares of Acquiror Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.13 hereof.

(iv) Company Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time of the First Merger, each share of Company Common Stock (including Company Common Stock issued upon (i) conversion of Preferred Stock, (ii) exercise of Company Options or (iii) exercise of Company Warrants before the Effective Time

of the First Merger in accordance with Applicable Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and applicable Contracts, each as in effect on the date of such conversion or exercise) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and represent the right to receive Per Share Stock Participation Amount, such amount to be allocated between cash and shares of Acquiror Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.13 hereof.

(v) Calculation. The amount of cash each Company Stockholder is entitled to receive for the shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.4(b) and the provisions of Section 2.13 shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder. The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4(b) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(vii) (regarding the delivery of cash in lieu of any fractional shares), Section 2.4(c) (regarding rights of holders of Dissenting Shares), Section 2.4(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights) and Section 2.7 (regarding the withholding of Escrow Cash).

(vi) Company Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option granted under the Company Option Plan and disclosed in Schedule 4.4(b)-2 of the Company Disclosure Letter and the Spreadsheet shall be assumed by Acquiror. All Company Options not so disclosed shall not be assumed by Acquiror and will terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger. At the Effective Time, each holder of such an assumed Company Option shall be entitled, in accordance with the terms of such option, to purchase after the Effective Time that number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option at the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio, and the exercise price per share for each such Option will equal the exercise price of the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Option Exchange Ratio, such exercise price being rounded up to the nearest whole cent. If the foregoing calculation results in an assumed option being exercisable for a fraction of a share, then the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock subject to such option will be rounded down to the nearest whole number with no cash being payable for such fractional share. Each Company Option so assumed by Acquiror under this Agreement will have, and will be subject to, the same term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422A of the Code, if applicable, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law all other terms of each Company Option will otherwise be unchanged. It is the intention of the parties that Company Options so assumed by Acquiror hereunder qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time as “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent such options qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time. Acquiror will cause the Acquiror Common Stock issued upon exercise of the assumed Company Options to be registered on Form S-8 with the SEC as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, will exercise best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such assumed Company Options remain outstanding and will reserve a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock for issuance upon exercise thereof.

(vii) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock will be issued in connection with the First Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be received by such holder at that time) will receive from Acquiror an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the Closing Stock Price multiplied by the fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. The parties acknowledge that any payment of cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares provided for herein was not separately bargained for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the corporate and accounting complexities that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(c) Dissenting Shares. If, in connection with the First Merger, holders of Company Capital Stock are entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to Delaware Law, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into a right to receive shares of Acquiror Common Stock and cash as provided in Section 2.4(b), but shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Delaware Law. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with Delaware Law (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to Delaware Law). In the event that any Company Stockholder fails to make an effective demand for payment or fails to perfect its appraisal rights as to its shares of Company Capital Stock or any Dissenting Shares shall otherwise lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the consideration issuable pursuant to Article 2 in respect of such shares as if such shares had never been Dissenting Shares, and Acquiror shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 2.9, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.9, the shares of Acquiror Common Stock and cash, without interest thereon, to which such Company Stockholder would have been entitled under Section 2.4(b) with respect to such shares, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(vii) (regarding the delivery of cash in lieu of any fractional shares), Section 2.4(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights) and Section 2.7 (regarding the withholding of Escrow Cash). The Company shall give Acquiror prompt notice (and in no event more than two business days) of any demand received by the Company for appraisal of Company Capital Stock or notice of exercise of a Company Stockholder’s appraisal rights, and Acquiror shall have the right to control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand. Acquiror agrees that, except with the Representative’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), Acquiror shall not voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal.

(d) Cancellation of Company-Owned Stock. Notwithstanding Section 2.4(b), each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(e) Continuation of Vesting and Repurchase Rights.

(i) Unvested Acquiror Shares. The repurchase option, vesting schedule or other condition applicable to any Unvested Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assigned to Acquiror and shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Unvested Company Shares in the First Merger (the “Unvested Acquiror Shares”) shall be withheld by Acquiror (subject to repurchase by Acquiror on the same terms as governed such Unvested Company Shares prior to the First Merger) and released to the holders of such Unvested Company Shares upon the vesting of the Unvested Acquiror Shares (assuming vesting by virtue of continuous service to the Surviving Entity or Acquiror or by acceleration pursuant to the terms of the applicable Employment Offer Letter) or other written agreement relating to such Unvested Company Shares that is disclosed to Acquiror prior to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder paid for Unvested Company Shares with promissory notes, Unvested Acquiror Shares which vest shall not be released to such holder until after repayment of accrued interest and then outstanding principal under such promissory notes. Any cash, shares of Acquiror Common Stock or other equity securities issued or distributed by Acquiror, including shares issued upon a stock dividend or split, in respect of Unvested Acquiror Shares (which remain subject to a repurchase option, vesting schedule or other similar condition at the time of such distribution) will be subject to the same repurchase option, vesting schedule or other condition as the Unvested Acquiror Shares with respect which the distribution is made. Each holder will have voting rights with respect to Unvested Acquiror Shares (and other voting securities) held by Acquiror on its behalf. The Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Acquiror (or its assignee) is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option, vesting schedule or other condition, such that upon termination of service, any Unvested Acquiror Shares shall be forfeited to the Surviving Entity or Acquiror without compensation to such holder (other than payment of the original purchase price of any Unvested Company Shares converted into Unvested Acquiror Shares upon repurchase by Acquiror or the Surviving Entity according to the repurchase terms governing such Unvested Company Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger, as same may be modified by any acceleration provisions in the applicable Employment Offer Letter). Except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Employment Offer Letter or other written agreement related to such Unvested Company Shares (it being understood that the Company shall be entitled to exercise its repurchase option with respect to any Unvested Acquiror Shares Transferred to a permitted transferee), no Unvested Acquiror Shares may be the subject of a Transfer by a former holder of Unvested Company Shares or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of such holder, prior to the distribution to such holder of such Unvested Acquiror Shares in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii) Unvested Acquiror Cash. The repurchase option, vesting schedule or other condition applicable to any Unvested Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assigned to Acquiror and Unvested Acquiror Cash shall be withheld by Acquiror and paid without interest to the holders of such Unvested Company Shares upon the vesting of the Unvested Acquiror Cash (assuming vesting by virtue of continuous service to the Surviving Entity or Acquiror or by acceleration pursuant to the terms of the applicable Employment Offer Letter) or other agreement relating to such Unvested Company Shares; provided, however, that a portion of such newly vested cash so distributed shall be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions that may be necessary

to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Acquiror (or its assignee) is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option, vesting schedule or other condition, such that upon termination of service, any Unvested Acquiror Cash shall be forfeited to the Surviving Entity or Acquiror without compensation to such holder (other than payment of the original purchase price of any Unvested Company Shares converted into Unvested Acquiror Cash upon repurchase by Acquiror or the Surviving Entity according to the repurchase terms governing such Unvested Company Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger, as same may be modified by any acceleration provisions in the applicable Employment Offer Letter). Except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Employment Offer Letter or other written agreement related to such Unvested Company Shares (it being understood that the Company shall be entitled to exercise its repurchase option with respect to any Unvested Acquiror Shares Transferred to a permitted transferee), no Unvested Acquiror Cash may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by a former holder of Unvested Company Shares or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of such holder, prior to the distribution to such holder of such Unvested Acquiror Cash in accordance with this Agreement.

2.5 Treatment of Shares in Second Merger.

(a) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time of the Second Merger, each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Second Merger shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(b) Merger Sub Two Membership Interests. At the Effective Time of the Second Merger, each membership interest of Merger Sub Two that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Second Merger will constitute one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable membership interest the Surviving Entity. Such membership interests shall be the only membership interests of the Surviving Entity that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time of the Second Merger.

2.6 Other Rights to Purchase Company Securities Not Assumed. Acquiror is not assuming, and shall not assume, any obligations or Liabilities under any direct or indirect rights to acquire shares of Company Capital Stock, other than Company Options issued under the Company Option Plan disclosed in Schedule 4.4(b)-2 of the Company Disclosure Letter and the Spreadsheet. On the Closing Date, any direct or indirect rights to acquire shares of Company Capital Stock (other than the Company Warrants disclosed in Schedule 4.4(b)-2 of the Company Disclosure Letter, if such Company Warrants have not been exercised or terminated prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger, and Company Options issued under the Company Option Plan disclosed in Schedule 4.4(b)-2 of the Company Disclosure Letter and the Spreadsheet) shall be terminated without further obligation or Liability of the Company, Acquiror or the Surviving Entity.

2.7 Escrow Cash and Escrowed Bookings.

(a) Escrow Cash and Escrowed Bookings. At the time of the allocation of the Dividend Amount portion of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments to holders of Preferred Stock

pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(i)-(iii), the Company shall withhold from such Dividend Amount portion so allocable an amount of cash equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Bookings (the “Escrowed Bookings”), and at the Effective Time, Acquiror shall withhold from the cash payable pursuant to Section 2.4(b) to the Company Stockholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than holders of solely shares of Company Capital Stock which constitute and remain Dissenting Shares) (“Effective Time Holders”) an amount of cash, with respect to each Effective Time Holder, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the portion of the Aggregate Merger Proceeds payable to such Effective Time Holder pursuant to Section 2.4(b) by (ii) the Escrow Percentage (or such lesser amount as provided by Section 2.7(d). As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 10 business days) following the Spreadsheet Submission Date, Acquiror shall cause the sum of (i) the Escrowed Bookings plus (ii) the Escrow Cash to be deposited with US Bank/State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A. (“Escrow Agent”). If a Company Stockholder holds Unvested Company Shares, then the Vested Acquiror Cash shall be withheld first and, thereafter, the Unvested Acquiror Cash shall be withheld (with the understanding that any Unvested Acquiror Cash so withheld shall vest prior to any such Unvested Acquiror Cash not withheld by Acquiror pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii)) to the extent necessary to satisfy such Effective Time Holders’ escrow obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(b). The payment of any Escrow Cash in satisfaction of any indemnification obligations under Article 12 shall be made, with respect to each Effective Time Holder, first with Vested Acquiror Cash and then, if such cash is insufficient to satisfy such indemnification obligation and only to the extent of such insufficiency, shall such payment be made with Unvested Acquiror Cash. As provided by the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Cash for up to eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time of the First Merger (the “Escrow Period”) as security for the Effective Time Holders’ indemnification obligations for Damages under Article 12. As provided by the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Bookings for up to six (6) months following the Effective Time of the First Merger.

(b) Escrow Agreement. On or before the Closing Date, Acquiror, the Company, the Representative and the Escrow Agent shall enter into the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Treatment of Escrow Cash and Escrowed Bookings. The Escrow Cash and Escrowed Bookings, and the management thereof by the Escrow Agent, will be governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the latter shall control.

(d) Non-Affiliated Holders. To accommodate the guidance of the California Department of Corporations in connection with the review of the objective fairness of deal terms to Non-Affiliated Holders who are not involved in deal negotiations, the parties agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments held in escrow from any Non-Affiliated Holder will not exceed 10% of such Non-Affiliated holder’s Proceed Amount (as defined in Section 2.13) payable to such Effective Time Holder pursuant to Section 2.4(b), and all remaining Escrow Cash withheld on behalf of any Non-Affiliated Holder pursuant to this Agreement that is not subject to any indemnity claims as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time of the First Merger will then be released on such first anniversary.

2.8 Employee Cash Bonus Pool. An amount equal to the difference of (a) the Employee Cash Bonus Pool Amount less (b) any portion thereof funded by portions of the Dividend Amount in excess of $7,000,000 but for the $7,000,000 cap on the Dividend Amount) (such difference, the “Dividend Bonus Subtraction Amount”) (along with the rest of the Employee Cash Bonus Pool Amount) will be deducted from the Company’s available cash or funded from the Escrowed Bookings upon release in accordance with Section 5 of the Escrow Agreement or, as a last resort, funded by post-Closing collections of Bookings by the Surviving Entity and then deposited by the Company into a separate account with Acquiror’s own primary commercial bank (the “Bonus Pool Account”). The funds deposited or to be deposited in the Bonus Pool Account, aggregating to the Employee Cash Bonus Pool Amount, will be held for the benefit of those Company employees who remain employed by Acquiror or the Surviving Entity at the time of grant (the “Eligible Bonus Recipients”). As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Acquiror shall establish the mechanics of a bonus pool (the “Employee Cash Bonus Pool”) for the Eligible Bonus Recipients funded from the Bonus Pool Account. Specifically, the Acquiror and Xxxx Xxxxxxx (the “Bonus Administrator”) will agree in good faith on which of the Eligible Bonus Recipients will receive cash bonus awards from the Bonus Pool Account (the “Awards”) and the amount of each such Award, provided that the aggregate of all Awards will initially be equal to the Employee Cash Bonus Pool Amount. Each Award will be paid out as to 25% thereof 6 months after the Effective Time of the First Merger, 12 months after the Effective Time of the First Merger, 18 months after the Effective Time of the First Merger and 24 months after the Effective Time of the First Merger, provided that the Award recipient remains employed on each of those dates. In the event that an Eligible Bonus Recipient is terminated without “cause” (as that term is defined for purpose of Acquiror’s 2001 Incentive Stock Option Plan) following the effective time of the First Merger, such Eligible Bonus Recipient shall be entitled to receive the Award that such Eligible Bonus Recipient would have received at the next 6-month anniversary of the Effective Time of the First Merger had such Eligible Bonus Recipient remained employed by the Surviving Entity until such date. Lapsed Awards due to resignations or terminations (net of any amount paid to Eligible Bonus Recipients who are terminated without cause pursuant to the preceding sentence) may be reallocated among other Eligible Bonus Recipients (and/or new hires who are hired to replace such resigning Eligible Bonus Recipients). In the event that changes to the mechanics or administration of the Employee Cash Bonus Pool (including, without limitation, changing the Administrator to an independent administrator not employed by Acquiror or changing the Bonus Pool Account to an account maintained by a third party escrow agent) are required to facilitate the achievement of optimal accounting treatment for Acquiror with respect to the Employee Cash Bonus Pool, the parties will work together in good faith to enter into an amendment to this Agreement modifying the mechanics or administration of the Employee Cash Bonus Plan so that Acquiror will achieve such optimal accounting treatment.

2.9 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Conversion of Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time of the First Merger, all outstanding Company Capital Stock shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without further action, cease to exist, and all such stock shall be converted into the right to receive from Acquiror the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock and amount of cash to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(b) with respect to such stock, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(c) (regarding rights of holders of Dissenting Shares), Section 2.4(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights) and Section 2.7 (regarding the withholding of Escrow Cash).

(b) Company Certificates. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 10 business days) after the Effective Time, the Acquiror shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of Company Capital Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the certificates evidencing such securities being “Company Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive shares of Acquiror Common Stock and cash pursuant to Section 2.4(b) the following: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Certificates to Acquiror and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify and contain an agreement to be bound by the indemnification provisions hereof); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Certificates in exchange for the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock and amount of cash specified in this Article 2. Upon surrender of a Company Certificate for cancellation or upon delivery of an affidavit of lost certificate and an indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror’s transfer agent (the “Affidavit”) (together with any required Form W-9 or Form W-8) to Acquiror, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, Acquiror shall issue or cause to be issued to each tendering holder of a Company Certificate or an Affidavit (each, a “Tendering Company Holder”) the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock and amount of cash to which such Tendering Company Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.4(b), subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(c) (regarding rights of holders of Dissenting Shares), Section 2.4(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights) and Section 2.7 (regarding the withholding of Escrow Cash). Until Company Certificates are surrendered or an Affidavit is delivered pursuant to this Section 2.9(b), such Company Certificates shall be deemed, for all purposes, to evidence ownership of the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock and amount of cash which Company Capital Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.4(b), subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(c) (regarding rights of holders of Dissenting Shares), Section 2.4(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights) and Section 2.7 (regarding the withholding of Escrow Cash).

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time of the First Merger with respect to Acquiror Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Certificate with respect to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Company Certificate shall surrender such Company Certificate as provided in this Section 2.9. Following surrender of any such Company Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock.

(d) Company Stock Transfer Books.

2.10 Tax Consequences, Withholding and Reporting; Accounting Treatment.

(a) Tax Consequences. The parties intend to adopt this Agreement as a tax-free plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g) and to consummate the Merger in accordance with the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code. Acquiror agrees not to take any action, either prior to or following the Closing, that Acquiror believes, based on advice of tax counsel, is reasonably likely to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; provided that Acquiror shall have no liability for reliance on the advice of tax counsel for this purpose. Each of the parties agrees that it shall file any tax returns, reports or information returns consistent with treating the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless otherwise required pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. However, the Acquiror makes no representations or warranties to the Company or to any Company Stockholder or other holder of Company Capital Stock regarding (a) the tax treatment of the Merger or (b) any of the tax consequences to Company, any Company Stockholder or other Company Securityholder of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions or agreements contemplated hereby, and the Company and, by virtue of the Company Stockholders approving the Agreement, this Merger and the other transactions or agreements contemplated by this Agreement, the Company Stockholders acknowledge that the Company and the Company Stockholders are relying solely on their own tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions or agreements contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Tax Withholding. Acquiror or Acquiror’s agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any shares or cash otherwise distributable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Stockholder, the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Stockholder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(c) Tax Reporting. The Representative shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide Acquiror with tax identification numbers for each of the Effective Time Holders by furnishing appropriate Form W-9 (or Form W-8, in the case of non-U.S. persons) (collectively, “Tax Reporting Documentation”) within 30 calendar days after the Closing Date (to the extent such Tax Reporting Documentation has not already been furnished by a Tendering Company Holder with its letter of transmittal pursuant to Section 2.9(b)). The parties hereto understand that, if such Tax Reporting Documentation is not so furnished to Acquiror with respect to an Effective Time Holder, Acquiror may be required by the Code to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of monies or other property held by Acquiror pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Accounting Treatment. The parties intend that the Merger be treated as a purchase for accounting purposes.

2.11 Adjustments for Capital Changes. Any provision of this Agreement shall be adjusted to appropriately reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, combination, recapitalization or other similar event affecting Acquiror Common Stock or Company Capital Stock and shall be reflected in an updated Spreadsheet as appropriate.

2.12 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Effective Time, Acquiror reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, then the Company, Acquiror, the Surviving Entity and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

2.13 Allocation of Cash and Stock. Subject to Section 6.1, the portion of the Aggregate Stockholder Payments payable to each Company Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.4(b) (each such Company’s Stockholder’s portion, the “Proceeds Amount”) shall be allocated between cash and shares of Acquiror Common Stock as follows:

(a) First, there shall be allocated an amount of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such Company Stockholder’s Proceeds Amount by (ii) the Escrow Percentage.

(b) Second, if such Company Stockholder has made (or is deemed to have made) a Cash Election pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, there shall be allocated an amount of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Cash Consideration less the aggregate amount of cash payable to all Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.13(a), by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) such Company Stockholder’s Proceeds Amount by (B) the aggregate Proceeds Amounts of all Company Stockholders that have made (or are deemed to have made) a Cash Election pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall any Company Stockholder be allocated an amount cash pursuant to Sections 2.13(a)-(b) that exceeds such Company Stockholder’s Proceeds Amount.

(c) Third, if (i) the aggregate amount of cash payable to all Company Stockholders pursuant to Sections 2.13(a)-(b) is less than the Cash Consideration, and (ii) such Company Stockholder has made (or is deemed to have made) a Stock Election pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, there shall be allocated an amount of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Cash Consideration less the aggregate amount of cash payable to all Company Stockholders pursuant to Sections 2.13(a)-(b), by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) such Company Stockholder’s Proceeds Amount by (B) the aggregate Proceeds Amounts of all Company Stockholders that have made (or are deemed to have made) a Stock Election pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof.

(d) Fourth, a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) such Company Stockholder’s Proceeds Amount less the aggregate amount of cash allocated to such Company Stockholder pursuant to Sections 2.13(a)-(c), by (ii) Signing Stock Price; provided, however, that if the preceding calculation results in a negative number, the results of such calculation shall be deemed to be zero.

Such Company IP Rights are sufficient for such conduct of the Company Business, and for the licensing, sale and distribution of any Company Product or Service (as defined below). As used in this Agreement, “Company-Owned IP Rights” means Company IP Rights that are or are purportedly owned or exclusively licensed to the Company; and “Company-Licensed IP Rights” means Company IP Rights that are not Company-Owned IP Rights.

(b) Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the Company Ancillary Agreements nor the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or by the Company Ancillary Agreements shall, in accordance with their terms: (i) constitute a material breach of or default under any instrument, license or other Contract governing any Company IP Right (collectively, the “Company IP Rights Agreements”); (ii) cause the forfeiture or termination of, or give rise to a right of forfeiture or termination of, any Company IP Right; or (iii) materially impair the right of the Company or the Surviving Entity to use, possess, sell or license any Company IP Right or portion thereof.

After the Closing, all Company-Owned IP Rights will be fully transferable, alienable or licensable by the Surviving Entity and Acquiror without restriction and without payment of any kind to any third party.

(c) Schedule 4.13(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list (by name and version number) of each of the products and services currently produced, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold, furnished or distributed by the Company and each product and service currently under development by the Company (each a “Company Product or Service”). There is no pending, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, claim or litigation contesting the validity, ownership or right of the Company to exercise any Company IP Right, nor to the knowledge of the Company, is there any legitimate basis for any such claim, nor has the Company received any notice asserting that any Company IP Right or the proposed use, sale, license or disposition thereof conflicts with or infringes or shall conflict with or infringe the rights of any other party, nor to the knowledge of the Company, is there any legitimate basis for any such assertion and the Company has not received any notice from any third party offering a license under any such third party patents.

Neither the employment of any employee of the Company, nor the use by the Company of the services of any consultant or independent contractor subjects the Company to any Liability to any third party for improperly soliciting such employee, consultant or independent contractor to work for the Company, whether such Liability is based on contractual or other legal obligations to such third party.

(e) The Company has taken all reasonable steps under the circumstances to protect, preserve and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of the Company IP Rights and to preserve and maintain all the Company’s interests, proprietary rights and trade secrets in the Company IP Rights.

The Company has secured valid written assignments from all of the Company’s current and former consultants, independent contractors and employees who were involved in, or who contributed to, the creation or development of any Company-Owned IP Rights, of the rights to such contributions that may be owned by such persons or that the Company does not already own by operation of law. No current or former employee, officer, director, consultant or independent contractor of the Company has any right, license, claim or interest whatsoever in or with respect to any Company-Owned IP Rights.

No event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) shall, or would reasonably be expected to, result in the disclosure or delivery by the Company or any other party acting on its behalf to any party of any Company Source Code. Schedule 4.13(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter identifies each Contract (whether written or oral) pursuant to which the Company has deposited, or is or may be required to deposit, with an escrow agent or other party, any Company Source Code and further describes whether the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in and of itself, would reasonably be expected to result in the release from escrow of any Company Source Code.

ARTICLE 6

SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE

6.1 California Fairness Hearing and Permit.

(a) Permit Application. As soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, (i) Acquiror shall prepare, with the cooperation of the Company, the application for permit (the “Permit Application”) in connection with the Hearing (as defined below) and the notice sent to the Company Securityholders pursuant to, and meeting the requirements of Article 2 of Subchapter 1 of the California Administrative Code, Title 10, Chapter 3, Subchapter 2, as amended (the “Hearing Notice”), concerning the hearing (the “Hearing”) held by the California Commissioner to consider the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger and the fairness of such terms and conditions pursuant to Section 25142 of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder (“California Securities Law”), and (ii) Acquiror shall prepare, with the cooperation of Company, any required additional informational disclosures and documentation to Company Securityholders relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (addressing matters not covered by the Hearing Notice) (collectively, the “Informational Documents”), which may include a letter to be sent following the issuance of the Permit (as defined below) containing the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors described in Section 7.11(b) and a solicitation of the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders. Each of the Company and Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Permit Application, the Hearing Notice and the Informational Documents to comply with all requirements of Applicable Law (including federal and state securities laws and the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder). Each of the Company and Acquiror shall provide promptly to the other such information concerning its business and

financial statements and affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the providing party or its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Permit Application, the Hearing Notice or the Informational Documents, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and auditors in the preparation of the Permit Application, the Hearing Notice and the Informational Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Company shall provide, within five (5) business days after the execution of this Agreement, all financial statements required by Section 260.613 of the California Code of Regulations. The Hearing Notice and Informational Documents shall constitute disclosure documents for the offer and issuance of the shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be received by the holders of the Company Capital Stock in the Merger and a proxy statement for solicitation of approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Hearing Notice or the Informational Documents, the Company and Acquiror shall cooperate in delivering any such amendment or supplement to all the holders of the Company Capital Stock and/or Company Options and/or filing any such amendment or supplement with the California Commissioner or its staff and/or any other government officials to the extent required by Applicable Law. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Company shall not include in the Informational Documents prepared by it any information with respect to Acquiror or its affiliates or associates, the form and content of which information shall not have been approved by Acquiror prior to such inclusion (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Acquiror shall not withhold approval of any information required to be included by federal or state law or the California Commissioner.

(b) Permit. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to cause to be filed with the California Commissioner, as soon as reasonably practicable hereafter, and in any event within 15 business days after the date hereof, the Permit Application and the Hearing Notice and (ii) to obtain, as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the permit approving the fairness of this Agreement and the Merger pursuant to Section 25121 of California Securities Law such that the issuance of the Acquiror Common Stock in connection with the Merger shall be exempt pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act (the “Permit”). The Company and Acquiror shall notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments from the California Commissioner or its staff and of any request by the California Commissioner or its staff or any other government officials for amendments or supplements to any of the documents filed therewith or any other filing or for additional information and shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence between such party or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the California Commissioner, or its staff or any other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the filing.

(c) Hearing Notice; Stockholder Mailing. As soon as permitted by the California Commissioner, the Company shall deliver by personal delivery or reputable overnight courier the Hearing Notice to all holders of the Company Capital Stock and/or Company Options entitled to receive such notice under California Securities Law. If the California Commissioner issues the Permit, then as soon as practicable thereafter the Company shall deliver by personal delivery or reputable overnight courier to all holders of the Company Capital Stock and/or Company Options (unless the Informational Documents may be delivered at an earlier time, in

which case the Company shall so deliver such documents as soon as practicable) (i) the Informational Documents, and (ii) a form of election (the “Election Form”) pursuant to which each Company Stockholder shall elect to allocate the payment of such Company Stockholder’s Proceeds Amount between cash and shares of Acquiror Common Stock by either (i) maximizing the amount of cash payable in respect of such Company Stockholder’s Proceeds Amount (a “Cash Election”), which amount shall be dependent on the elections by all other Company Stockholders and calculated as provided by Section 2.13 hereof, or (ii) maximizing the amount of shares of Acquiror Common Stock payable in respect of such Company Stockholder’s Proceeds Amount (a “Stock Election”), which amount shall be dependent on the elections by all other Company Stockholders and calculated as provided by Section 2.13, which completed and executed Election Form shall be returned to the Company by the earlier of ten (10) days after mailing or the business day before the scheduled Closing Date (the “Election Deadline”); provided, however, that if such Company Stockholder’s Election Form is not received prior to the Election Deadline, such Company Stockholder shall be deemed to have made the same election between maximizing cash and maximizing shares of Acquiror Common Stock as was made by the holders of a majority of the same class of shares of Company Capital Stock (on an as-converted basis) as are held by such Company Stockholder who returned completed and executed Election Forms by the Election Deadline. Except for the delivery of the Informational Documents and Election Form in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall not, and shall cause each Company Representative (as defined in Section 7.7) not to, directly or indirectly, solicit the vote of any holder of the Company Capital Stock and/or Company Options in connection with the Merger in violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. In addition, in the event that the California Commissioner refuses to issue the Permit unless the parties hereto agree to make certain changes to the terms of this Agreement or any of the Company Ancillary Agreements or Acquiror Ancillary Agreements, the parties will work together in good faith to determine the feasibility of agreeing to such changes so as to satisfy the California Commissioner’s requirements for issuance of the Permit.

(d) Amendment of Hearing Materials. Each of the Company and Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the information relating to the Company and Acquiror included in the Hearing Notice, the Permit Application and the Informational Documents to not, at the time the Hearing Notice is delivered to holders of the Company Capital Stock and/or Company Options, at the time the Informational Documents are delivered to holders of the Company Capital Stock and/or Company Options and at all times subsequent thereto (through and including the Effective Time of the First Merger), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall promptly advise Acquiror, and Acquiror shall promptly advise the Company, in writing if at any time prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger either the Company or Acquiror shall obtain knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary or appropriate to amend or supplement the Hearing Notice, the Permit Application, and/or the Informational Documents, in order to make the statements contained or incorporated by reference therein not misleading or to comply with applicable law. The Company and Acquiror shall cooperate in delivering any such amendment or supplement to all the holders of the Company Capital Stock and/or Company Options and/or filing any such amendment or supplement with the California Commissioner or its staff and/or any other government officials to the extent required by Applicable Law.

(e) Restrictive Legends. Acquiror will be authorized to give stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any Acquiror Common Stock received pursuant to the Merger by any Affiliate of the Company for purposes of Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act (regardless of whether such Person’s name appears on Schedule 4.17 of the Company Disclosure Letter) and there will be placed on the certificates representing such Acquiror Common Stock, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance that the shares were issued in a transaction to which Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act applies and may only be transferred in conformity with Rule 145. In addition, Acquiror may cause to be placed on the certificates representing Acquiror Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger to all Company Stockholders such legends as are necessary to reflect such other restrictions, if applicable, as shall be set forth in the Company Stockholder Agreement (as defined in Section 7.13); provided that, for clarity, no certificates representing Acquiror Common Stock that are not Restricted Company Shares shall require any legend relating to the market standoff restrictions described in clause (b) of Section 7.13. Following the expiration of restrictions imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws and the Company Stockholder Agreement, Acquiror will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the former Company Stockholders in the removal of restrictive legends and issuance of unlegended stock certifications in connection with their interactions with Acquiror’s transfer agent and brokers which process trades in Acquiror Common Stock.

6.2 Blue Sky Laws. Acquiror shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with the securities and blue sky laws of all jurisdictions which are applicable to the issuance of the Acquiror Common Stock in connection with the Merger. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist Acquiror as may be necessary to comply with the securities and blue sky laws of all jurisdictions which are applicable in connection with the issuance of Acquiror Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

ACQUIROR COVENANTS

During the time period from the Agreement Date until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time of the First Merger or (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 11, Acquiror covenants and agrees with the Company as follows:

8.1 Advice of Changes. Acquiror shall promptly advise the Company in writing of (a) any event occurring subsequent to the Agreement Date that would render any representation or warranty of Acquiror contained in Article 5 untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 9.1 would not be satisfied and (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Acquiror pursuant to this Agreement or any Acquiror Ancillary Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 9.2 would not be satisfied.

8.2 Regulatory Approvals. Acquiror 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 foreign, federal, state, local or municipal, which may be reasonably required in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Acquiror Ancillary Agreement or any Merger Sub Ancillary Agreement. Acquiror shall use diligent efforts to obtain, and to cooperate with the Company to promptly obtain, all such authorizations, approvals and consents and shall pay any associated filing fees payable by Acquiror with respect to such authorizations, approvals and consents. Acquiror shall promptly inform the Company of any material communication between Acquiror and any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby. If Acquiror or any affiliate of Acquiror receives any formal or informal request for supplemental information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, then Acquiror shall make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable, a response in compliance with such request. Acquiror shall direct, in its sole discretion, the making of such response, but shall consider in good faith the views of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened in writing to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Applicable Law, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither Acquiror nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates shall be under any obligation to: (a) litigate or contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding or any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent; or (b) make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to orders providing for (i) the sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Acquiror, any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or the Company, or the holding separate of the shares of Company Capital Stock or (ii) the imposition of any limitation on the ability of Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates to freely conduct their business or own such assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of Company Capital Stock.

8.3 Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied all of the conditions precedent that are set forth in Article 9, and Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

8.4 Employee Benefit Matters. All Company employees who continue as employees of Acquiror or a subsidiary of Acquiror following the Closing (“Continuing Employees”) shall be eligible to participate on substantially similar terms in those employee benefits plans maintained for similarly situated employees of Acquiror, such participation and benefits subject to the terms and conditions of such plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror may, in its sole discretion, elect to continue a Company Employee Plan that provides welfare and/or pension benefits, which case, the preceding sentence shall apply only upon the termination of such Company Benefit Arrangements. Acquiror shall recognize the prior service with the Company of each of the Continuing Employees in connection with Acquiror’s PTO plan, for purposes of eligibility, levels of benefits and vesting under Acquiror’s employee benefit plans and arrangements, but only to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan. Continuing Employees

will be given credit for amounts paid under any Company Benefit Arrangement during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable employee benefit plan of Acquiror. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.4 to the contrary, this Section 8.4 shall not operate to (a) duplicate any benefit provided to any Continuing Employee or to fund any such benefit, (b) require Acquiror to continue to maintain any severance plan or other employee benefit plan in effect following the Effective Time of the First Merger for Acquiror’s employees, including the Continuing Employees (except for the Company Employee Bonus Program), or (c) be construed to mean the employment of the Continuing Employees is not terminable by Acquiror at will at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason.

8.5 Indemnification of Company Directors and Officers; D&O Insurance.

(a) If the Merger is consummated, then until the fourth anniversary of the Effective Time of the First Merger, Acquiror will cause the Surviving Entity to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its directors and officers as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification provisions agreements or any indemnification provisions under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as in effect on the Agreement Date (the “Company Indemnification Provisions”), with respect to: (i) claims arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time which are asserted after the Effective Time; and (ii) as to the Company’s directors only, claims asserted before or after the Effective Time which challenge the validity of or seek to enjoin the operation of Section 7.7 (No Other Negotiations), Section 7.11(a)-(b) (Approval of the Company Stockholders), or Section 11.2 (Unilateral Termination) of this Agreement. In connection therewith Acquiror shall advance expenses to the Company Indemnified Parties as incurred to the fullest extent provided for under the Company Indemnification Provisions, provided the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. Any claims for indemnification made under this Section 8.5 on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Effective Time of the First Merger shall survive such anniversary until the final resolution thereof. However, the foregoing covenants under this Section 8.5 shall not apply to (i) any claim or matter that relates to a willful or intentional breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or made by a Company Stockholder in connection with the Voting Agreement or (ii) any Claim by any Company Stockholder relating to or arising out of the stock/cash allocation mechanism set forth in Section 2.13 or the Election Form set forth in Section 6.1(c). The effectiveness of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5 is conditioned upon the receipt of Company Securityholder Releases from those Company Stockholders and Company Optionholders described in the last two sentences of Section 10.12.

(b) Acquiror shall cause the Surviving Entity to maintain in effect the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “D&O Tail Policy”) placed prior to the Closing and administered through the Company’s current insurance broker, covering those persons (the “Policy Beneficiaries”) who are covered as of the date of this Agreement by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy with coverage in amount and scope at least as favorable to such persons as the Company’s existing coverage; provided, however,

that the term of such policy shall not exceed 4 years after the Closing Date and the total premiums for such D&O Tail Policy shall not exceed $50,000; provided, further, however, that if a longer term is available or if a 4 year policy is available at a higher premium, and the Company elects to obtain such more expensive or longer-termed policy, it may do so, provided that in such case, the premium amounts in excess of $50,000 shall be subtracted from the Cash Consideration.

8.6 NASDAQ Listing. Acquiror shall authorize for listing on the NASDAQ National Market the shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger.

8.7 Reseller Agreement. Acquiror will use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a reseller agreement with Company on mutually acceptable terms within 10 business days of the Agreement Date.

(d) Either Acquiror or the Company, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement if any required approval of the Company Stockholders approving the Merger and adopting this Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote upon a vote held at a duly noticed and held meeting of stockholders (or at any adjournment thereof) or by written consent of the stockholders within 10 business days following the date the California Commissioner issues the Permit; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.2(d) shall not be available to the Company where the failure to obtain stockholder approval shall have been caused by (i) the action or failure to act of the Company and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach by the Company of this Agreement or (ii) a breach of one or more of the Voting Agreements.

(e) Acquiror, by giving written notice to the Company, may terminate this Agreement if (i) the Company’s Board of Directors shall have for any reason recommended, endorsed, accepted or agreed to an Acquisition Proposal or shall have resolved to do any of the foregoing, (ii) the Company shall have breached or be deemed to have breached Section 7.7 (No Other Negotiations) or (iii) the Company shall have for any reason failed to call, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting (or submit to the vote of the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholders Meeting the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement) or secure the Company Stockholders Consent within 10 business days following the date the California Commissioner issues the Permit, or (iv) if an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made and the Company’s Board of Directors of the Company in connection therewith, does not within five business days of such occurrence reconfirm its approval and recommendation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and reject such Acquisition Proposal.

(f) The Company, by giving written notice to Acquiror, may terminate this Agreement if (i) Acquiror shall have breached the representations and warranties Section 5.5; (ii) such breach results from a restatement of the financial statements of Acquiror included in the documents in the Acquiror Disclosure Package; and (iii) such restatement impacts Acquiror’s revenues, results of operations or balance sheet items to an extent sufficient to constitute a Material Adverse Effect of Acquiror.

11.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11.2, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub One, Merger Sub Two or the Company or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of this Section 11.3 (Effect of Termination) and Article 13 (Miscellaneous) shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability in connection with any willful breach of any of such party’s covenants contained herein.

In determining the amount of any Damages in respect of the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct as of any particular date, any materiality standard contained in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.

12.2 Remedies and Limitations.

(a) Escrow Cash. If the First Merger is consummated, recovery from the Escrow Cash shall be the sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement or any Company Ancillary Agreement for the matters listed in the foregoing clauses (i)-(xi) of Section 12.1 or any other claims, except in the case of fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by the Company or any Company Representative. As to claims for Damages first asserted after the first anniversary of the Effective Time of the First Merger but before the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Time of the First Merger, recovery of the Escrow Cash may be made only in the case of (i) fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by the Company or any Company Representative; (ii) any failure of any of the Continuing Representations to be true and correct as aforesaid; or (iii) claims for indemnification made under Section 12.1(b)(xi).

(b) Basket. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Acquiror Indemnified Person may receive any recovery in respect of any claims for indemnification made pursuant to Section 12.1(b) (except for clauses (vi), (vii), (ix), (x) and (xii) of Section 12.1(b)), unless and until Damages in an aggregate amount greater than $200,000 (the “Basket”) have been incurred, paid or properly accrued, in which case the Acquiror Indemnified Persons may make claims for indemnification for all Damages, including the amount of the Basket. In determining the amount of any Damages in respect of the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct as of any particular date, any materiality standard contained in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded.

(c) No Contribution. The obligations of the Effective Time Holders under this Article 12 shall not be reduced, offset, eliminated or subject to contribution by reason of any action or inaction by the Company prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger that contributed to any inaccuracy or breach giving rise to such obligation, it being understood and agreed that the Effective Time Holders, and not the Company, shall have the sole obligation for the indemnity obligations under this Article 12.

12.3 Appointment of Representative.

(a) Authority. By voting in favor of the Merger or participating in the conversion of Company Common Stock, each Effective Time Holder approves the designation of and designates the Representative as the representative of the Effective Time Holders and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Effective Time Holder with respect to claims for indemnification under this Article 12 and the taking by the Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from Acquiror (on behalf of itself or any other Acquiror Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement and the Escrow

Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by such holders individually); (ii) authorize the release or delivery to Acquiror of Escrow Cash in satisfaction of indemnification claims by Acquiror or any other Acquiror Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article 12 (including by not objecting to such claims); (iii) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand litigation of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, (x) indemnification claims by Acquiror or any other Acquiror Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article 12, or (y) any other claim by any Acquiror Indemnified Person, against any such holder or by any such holder against any Acquiror Indemnified Person or any dispute between any Acquiror Indemnified Person and any such holder; and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Representative shall have authority and power to act on behalf of each Effective Time Holder with respect to the disposition, settlement or other handling of all claims under this Article 12 and the Escrow Agreement and all rights or obligations arising under this Article 12 and the Escrow Agreement. The Effective Time Holders shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Representative in connection with this Article 12 and the Escrow Agreement, and Acquiror and other Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Representative. The individual serving as the Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice to Acquiror and the Escrow Agent. No bond shall be required of the Representative, and the Representative shall receive no compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Effective Time Holders.

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

12.4 Notice of Claim. As used herein, the term “Claim” means a claim for indemnification of Acquiror or any other Acquiror Indemnified Person for Damages under this Article 12. Acquiror may give notice of a Claim in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

12.5 Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Acquiror shall determine and conduct the defense or settlement of any claim, demand, suit, Action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a third party against Acquiror or such other Acquiror Indemnified Person (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”, and the costs and expenses incurred by Acquiror in connection with such defense or settlement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Damages for which Acquiror may seek indemnification pursuant to a Claim made by any Acquiror Indemnified Person hereunder and the Escrow Agreement to the extent provided in this Article 12.

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

(c) No settlement of any such Third-Party Claim with any third party claimant shall be made without the prior written consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Representative shall have objected within 20 calendar days after a written request for such consent by Acquiror. In the event that the Representative has consented to any such settlement, neither the Representative nor any Effective Time Holder shall have any power or authority to object under any provision hereof to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Acquiror Indemnified Person against the Escrow Cash or against the Effective Time Holders for indemnity with respect to such settlement.

12.6 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. All payments (if any) made to an Acquiror Indemnified Person pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article 12 will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

13.2 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto except that Acquiror may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror without the Company’s or the Representative’s prior consent; provided, however, that Acquiror shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement.

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

13.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original as regards any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

13.7 Expenses. Each party shall bear its respective legal, auditors’, investment bankers’ and financial advisors’ fees and other expenses incurred with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however that in the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 11 for any reason other than: (i) by Acquiror pursuant to Section 11.2(b) as a result of a breach of any of the Company’s representations and warranties under Article 5 or any of the Company’s covenants under Article 7 or (ii) due to the failure of the closing condition contained in Section 10.24 to be satisfied or waived because the Audit Differential Amount is in excess of $1,000,000, Acquiror shall reimburse the Company the lesser of (X) fifty percent (50%) of the costs and expenses of the Company incurred in connection with the Audit and (Y) $100,000.
