AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 18, 2014, is made by and among Bear Data Solutions, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), Datalink Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), Mars Acquisition, Inc., a California corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Sub”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as representative for the Securityholders (the “Representative”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article XI below.

WHEREAS, the board of directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company has approved and declared advisable the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to which the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of California (the “CGCL”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of each of Parent and the Company has determined that the Merger is in furtherance of and consistent with their respective business strategies and is in the best interest of their respective shareholders, and Parent has approved this Agreement and the Merger as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub;

WHEREAS, immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to secure and deliver the Requisite Shareholder Approval;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent is entering into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (each, a “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with the Transferring Sellers providing for the purchase by Parent of a specified number of the Company Shares held by each Transferring Seller (collectively, the “Transferring Company Shares”) prior to the consummation of the Merger, subject to the terms and conditions thereof;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger, among other things, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into, and all of the outstanding Company Options will be cancelled in consideration for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided herein;

WHEREAS, contemporaneous with the execution of this Agreement, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ is entering into a noncompetition agreement with Parent, effective as of the Closing, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Executive Noncompetition Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

MERGER

1.01 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company in accordance with the CGCL, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub will cause an agreement of merger and officer’s certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California (the “Certificate of Merger”) and will make all other filings or recordings required by the CGCL to consummate the Merger. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California or at such later time as Parent and the Company will agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will succeed to all the rights and property and be subject to all of the debts and liabilities of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under this Agreement and Section 1107 of the CGCL.

1.02 Conversion of Company Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Shareholders:

(a) Each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares, which shall not be cancelled and shall remain outstanding) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Price upon surrender and exchange of the Certificate representing that Company Share.

(b) Each Company Share held immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company as treasury shares or by Parent or Merger Sub will be canceled and no payment will be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.03 Determination of Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger shall be $16,835,000 (the “Base Consideration”), as increased or decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the cumulative net adjustments required by the following, without duplication (as adjusted, the “Merger Consideration”):

(a) the Base Consideration will be decreased by the Indebtedness outstanding;

(b) the Base Consideration will be (i) increased by the amount, if any, by which Net Working Capital exceeds Target Net Working Capital, or (ii) decreased by the amount, if any, by which Net Working Capital is less than Target Net Working Capital;

(d) the Base Consideration will be increased by the aggregate amount of the exercise prices of all of the In-the-Money Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.04 Exchange of Certificates; Lost Certificates; Closing of Transfer Books.

(a) The Paying Agent will act as paying agent in effecting the exchange of the portion of the Merger Consideration payable to Shareholders for certificates which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented Company Shares entitled to payment under Section 1.02 (the “Certificates”). On or promptly following the Closing Date, Paying Agent will pay (from the funds deposited with it pursuant to Section 2.01) each holder of a Certificate who has surrendered his, her or its Certificates, together with a duly executed and completed letter of transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Letter of Transmittal”), representing the number of Company Shares held by such Shareholder, the amount of cash to which the holder of such Certificate(s) is entitled under Section 1.02. After Closing, the Paying Agent shall pay to each such holder, promptly following receipt of the Certificate and Letter of Transmittal from that holder, such holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Closing Cash Consideration. Surrendered Certificates will forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered and exchanged, each Certificate will represent from and after the Effective Time solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the Company Shares it theretofore represented will have been converted pursuant to Section 1.02.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Certificate will have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, the Paying Agent may, as a condition precedent to the payment of any portion of the Merger Consideration with respect thereto, require the making of an affidavit of such fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed (and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, such Person agreeing to indemnify Parent or the Paying Agent against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate or posting an indemnity bond).

(c) From and after the Effective Time, there will be no transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they will be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.04.

(d) No later than five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a Letter of Transmittal to each Shareholder. The Paying Agent will effect the exchange of the Merger Consideration for Certificates, as described in Section 1.04(a).

(e) No interest will be paid or will accrue on the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate. All cash paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.04 will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Shares previously represented by such Certificates. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company will be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to holders of Certificates as of the date that is 180 days after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.04 shall thereafter look to Parent for satisfaction of their claims, without interest thereon.

(g) Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Shares such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of Tax Law or under any other

applicable Law; provided, however, that the applicable payor shall provide the Representative with a written notice of any intention to withhold at least three (3) Business Days prior to any such withholding and such payor shall request such information from the applicable payee and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such withholding obligation. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such withheld amounts shall be remitted by the Surviving Corporation to the applicable Governmental Body and, to the extent so remitted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.05 Treatment of Company Options.

(a) Each Company Option, whether or not vested or exercisable, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of the Company Option or any other Person, be cancelled at the Effective Time. Subject to Section 1.05(b), upon the cancellation of each Company Option, the holder thereof will cease to have any rights with respect to that Company Option other than the right to receive with respect to each In-the-Money Option, (a) an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent after aggregation of all amounts payable in respect of all In-the-Money Options held by a holder of Company Options, without interest, and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax) equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Shares as to which such In-the-Money Option was vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the number of Company Shares as to which such In-the-Money Option becomes vested and exercisable in connection with the Merger) and (ii) the excess of the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (b) any amounts that may become payable in respect of that In-the-Money Option in respect of the net working capital adjustment under Section 1.10 or from the Escrow Fund as provided in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, in each case at such time and subject to the conditions specified in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Option that is not an In-the-Money Option will not have any right to receive any consideration in respect of such Company Option. The aggregate amount paid or payable in respect of the cancellation of the In-the-Money Options as set forth in this Section 1.05 is referred to herein as the “Option Consideration.” For the avoidance of doubt, (i) as and when the Option Consideration becomes payable to holders of In-the-Money Options who are Employees, such amounts shall be delivered by Parent to the Surviving Corporation for payroll processing (to the extent applicable), and the Surviving Corporation will disburse such payments, net of applicable Tax withholdings, to the former holders of such In-the-Money Options who are Employees and (ii) the employer portion of the Taxes related to those payments will be an Included Current Liability. Promptly following the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall pay, by check, the Option Consideration payable to any non-Employee holder of an In-the-Money Option and shall deliver such check to the address set forth on such holder’s Option Surrender Form.

(b) It shall be a condition to the receipt of the payments described in Section 1.05(a) by a holder of a Company Option, that such holder of a Company Option has delivered an executed option surrender form, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Option Surrender Form”).

1.06 Articles of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of the Company will be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit E.

1.07 Bylaws. The Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be amended at the Effective Time to change the corporate name set forth therein to “Bear Data Solutions, Inc.” and, as so amended, will be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with applicable Law.

1.08 Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed, or their earlier resignation or removal, in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law, (a) the directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time will be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and (b) the officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time will be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.

1.09 Closing Date Statement. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a certificate (the “Closing Date Statement”) setting forth, (i) an estimate of Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (ii) an estimate of the Transaction Expenses, (iii) the Percentage Schedule, and (iv) the Closing Cash Consideration, which in each case have been prepared in good faith and, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, in accordance with GAAP, applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements (“GAAP, consistently applied”), Section 1.10 (substituting “Closing Date Statement” for “Closing Statement”), and the applicable definitions in this Agreement. Parent shall be entitled to review, comment on and request reasonable changes to the Closing Date Statement, and the Company shall consider Parent’s proposed changes to the Closing Date Statement in good faith. Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, and the Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) acknowledge and agree that each of them and the Paying Agent will be entitled to rely on the Percentage Schedule as setting forth a true, complete, and accurate listing of the percentage of the Closing Cash Consideration and overall Merger Consideration to be paid to the Securityholders. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, and the Paying Agent will not have any liability with respect to the allocation of the Closing Cash Consideration, or Merger Consideration among the Securityholders resulting from any payments made to such Securityholders pursuant to the Percentage Schedule.

1.10 Net Working Capital Adjustments.

(a) As promptly as possible, but in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent will deliver to the Representative (i) an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied and (ii) a reasonably detailed calculation by Parent of the Net Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (together, the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied and the applicable definitions in this Agreement. The Closing Statement will entirely disregard (x) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any other transaction entered into by Parent or the Surviving Corporation in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as specifically contemplated in Section 12.02, and (y) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Parent initiates or makes or causes to be initiated or made, in each case after the Closing with respect to the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries or their business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Parent or any of its assets or liabilities.

(b) Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, (i) assist the Representative and its representatives in the review of the Closing Statement and provide the Representative and its representatives with access during normal business hours to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities and employees of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries relevant for purposes of their review of the Closing Statement, and (ii) cooperate with the Representative and its representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a reasonable basis all other information necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Closing Statement, in each case as is reasonably requested by the

Representative or its representatives and provided that such access shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries. If the Representative has any objections to the Closing Statement, the Representative will deliver to Parent a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which the Representative objects (the “Disputed Items”), the reasons therefor and the values that it believes in good faith to be correct. If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Parent within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, then the Closing Statement as prepared by Parent will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. If an Objections Statement is delivered to Parent within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, then the Representative and Parent will negotiate in good faith to resolve in writing the timely raised Disputed Items (and only those items) and all such discussions related thereto will (unless otherwise agreed by Parent and the Representative in writing) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as Parent and Representative may agree in writing) after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Parent, the Representative and Parent will submit any such unresolved Disputed Items (and only such matters) to a mutually agreeable nationally recognized accounting firm independent to both the Representative and Parent and their respective Affiliates (other than a so-called “Big Four” accounting firm) with expertise in resolving disputes of this nature (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution. The Representative and Parent will instruct the Accounting Firm to make a final determination of the Disputed Items in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Parent and the Representative will cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement and will instruct the Accounting Firm not to, and the Accounting Firm will not, assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Parent, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Parent, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand. Parent and the Representative will also instruct the Accounting Firm to, and the Accounting Firm will, make its determination based solely on presentations by Parent and the Representative that are in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Parent and the Representative will instruct the Accounting Firm to use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent and the Representative a written report setting forth resolution of each applicable Disputed Item as promptly as practicable, but not more than thirty (30) days after submission of such Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm. Any determination of the Closing Statement and the resulting Net Working Capital by the Accounting Firm will become final and binding on the parties hereto on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to Parent and the Representative, and such resolution by the Accounting Firm will not be subject to court review or otherwise be appealable. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders), on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to Parent, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders), on the other hand, bears to the amount actually contested by each such Person, as determined by the Accounting Firm. For example, if the Representative claims that the Net Working Capital is one thousand dollars ($1,000) greater than the amount determined by Parent, and Parent contests only five hundred dollars ($500) of the amount claimed by the Representative, and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders) three hundred dollars ($300) of the five hundred dollars ($500) contested, then the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Parent and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders).

(c) After final determination of the Closing Statement and the resulting Net Working Capital as provided in Section 1.10(b), the parties shall determine the Final Adjustment Amount.

(i) If the Final Adjustment Amount is positive, then, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, Parent will pay:

(A) to the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Shareholders and any non-Employee holder of an In-the-Money-Option) an amount equal to the portion of the Final Adjustment Amount payable to such Persons and the Paying Agent will pay to such Persons such amount (equal to each such Person’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Final Adjustment Amount) pursuant, in the case of the Shareholders, to the payment instructions set forth in each such Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal, and

(B) to the Surviving Corporation (on behalf of the holders of In-the-Money Options who are Employees) an amount equal to the portion of the Final Adjustment Amount payable to such Persons, and the Surviving Corporation will disburse such Option Consideration to the former holders of such In-the-Money Options (equal to each such former holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Final Adjustment Amount), net of applicable Tax withholdings, through the Company’s payroll process (with respect to any such former holder who is employed by Parent or its Affiliates at the time of such payment) or by check to the address set forth in such former holder’s Option Surrender Form (or to such other address as such holder shall have provided to Parent) (with respect to any such former holder that is not employed by the Company at the time of such payment).

(ii) If the Final Adjustment Amount is negative, then within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, the Representative and Parent will provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release (A) an amount equal to the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount to Parent from the Final Adjustment Escrow Fund and (B) any amount remaining in the Final Adjustment Escrow Fund (if any) after such payment to the Securityholders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage; provided, that, any amount payable to an Employee holder of an In-the-Money-Option shall be distributed to the Surviving Corporation who will disburse such amount, net of applicable Tax withholdings, through the Company’s payroll. If the absolute value of the negative Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount of the Final Adjustment Escrow, then Parent may, at its election, recover the amount of such excess from the Indemnity Escrow Fund or from the Securityholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage in an amount that does not exceed, in the aggregate (including amounts recovered pursuant to Article VIII), the proceeds actually received by such Securityholder in the Merger) directly.

(iii) If the Final Adjustment Amount is positive or zero, then no payment will be made to Parent from the Final Adjustment Escrow Fund and, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, the Representative and Parent will provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the Final Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Securityholders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage; provided, that, any amount payable to an Employee holder of an In-the-Money-Option shall be distributed to the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation will, within two (2) Business Days thereafter, distribute such payments, net of applicable Tax withholdings, through the Company’s payroll, to such Persons.

(d) All payments required pursuant to Section 1.10(c) will be deemed to be adjustments for Tax purposes to the Merger Consideration.

1.11 Escrow Fund.

(a) The parties agree that the Aggregate Escrow Amount be contributed to the Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Securityholder will receive cash held in escrow unless and until permitted under the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, which will provide for the establishment, funding and release of the following Escrow Fund sub-accounts:

(i) Final Adjustment Escrow Fund. On the Closing Date, an amount equal to $500,000 will be deposited into a segregated final adjustment amount sub-account of the Escrow Fund (the “Final Adjustment Escrow Account” and, together with all interest and earnings thereon, the “Final Adjustment Escrow Fund”) to provide for any Merger Consideration adjustments under Section 1.10;

(ii) Indemnity Escrow Account. On the Closing Date, an amount equal to $1,850,000 will be deposited into a segregated indemnity escrow sub-account of the Escrow Fund (“Indemnity Escrow Account” and, together with all interest and earnings thereon, the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”) to provide for any and all claims for indemnification by the Parent Indemnified Parties (or any of them) pursuant to Article VIII and, at Parent’s election, for amounts payable under Section 1.10.

(b) Parent will establish the Escrow Fund with the Escrow Agent at or prior to the Closing and will, on the Closing Date, deposit therein by wire transfer an amount of cash equal to the Aggregate Escrow Amount. The Escrow Fund will be an interest-bearing account. All interest earned on the Escrow Fund will be added to the Final Adjustment Escrow Account or Indemnity Escrow Account, as applicable, and treated for Tax purposes as income of Parent. The Escrow Fund will be in the name of Parent for the benefit of the Securityholders. No party has any obligation to replenish the Escrow Fund.

(c) The Final Adjustment Escrow Fund will be released as provided in Section 1.10(c) and Section 1.10(d).

Each U.S. Plan which is intended to be qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has timely received or applied for a favorable determination, opinion or advisory letter as to its qualified status (or is maintained on a pre-approved plan document), and each trust established in connection with any such U.S. Plan which is

intended to be exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code is so exempt, and, to the Company’s knowledge, nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, with respect to any U.S. Plan that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any such U.S. Plan or the exempt status of any such trust, or otherwise cause the IRS to revoke such determination. All contributions, premiums, and expenses to or in respect of each Plan have been timely paid in full or, to the extent not yet due, have been adequately accrued on the Financial Statements.

To the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred and no condition exists that would reasonably be expected to subject the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate to any material Tax, fine, lien, penalty or other material liability imposed by ERISA or the Code with respect to any “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 142 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA.

(i) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (i) entitle any current or former employee of the Company to severance pay, unemployment compensation or any payment contingent upon a change in control or ownership of the Company or (ii)

7.02 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time (and such additional period of time as may be necessary to fully and finally resolve any claims for indemnification which have been duly submitted prior to the six (6) year anniversary of the Effective Time), unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers than are set forth in the organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify, and advance expenses to, each present and former director or officer of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), in and to the extent of their capacities as such and not as shareholders of Company in respect of actions, omissions or events through the Effective Time to the fullest extent provided for in the Company’s organizational documents in effect as of the date hereof.

(b) At or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall purchase and pay in full a “tail” prepaid insurance policy with respect to the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the D&O Indemnified Parties that shall provide the D&O Indemnified Parties with coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time (including with respect to acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) on terms no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties than the existing insurance (the “D&O Tail Policies”). The cost of the premiums for such D&O Tail Policies shall be treated as a Transaction Expense to the extent it remains unpaid on the Closing Date. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such D&O Tail Policies in full force and effect.

(c) The obligations under this Section 7.02 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 7.02 applies without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 7.02 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.02 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

7.03 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall take the following actions with respect to each employee of the Company who remains in employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate thereof (a “Continuing Employee”) under each employee benefit plan of Parent or any of its Affiliates covering such Continuing Employee following the Closing (collectively, “Parent Plans”): (i) for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, waive any limitations regarding pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability requirements and eligibility waiting periods under any Parent Plan which is a welfare benefit plan to the extent such pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability requirements, or waiting periods were inapplicable to, or had been satisfied by, such employee under a comparable Plan immediately prior to the Closing; (b) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (to the same extent such credit was given under the analogous Plan prior to the Closing), in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under such Parent Plans which are welfare benefit plans; and (iii) recognize such Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (to the same extent such service was recognized by the Company or a Subsidiary under a corresponding Plan) for purposes of vesting, eligibility and determination of level of benefits (but not for purposes of benefit accruals, except for determination of level of benefits under any Parent Plan that provides for severance benefits or paid time off). This Section 7.03 shall not apply to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

(b) The provisions of this Section 7.03 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement. No Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) or other employee or service provider of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 7.03 shall create such rights in any such persons. Nothing herein shall (i) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Parent, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee or any other service provider at any time and for any reason, (ii) require Parent, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates to continue any Plans, Parent Plans or other employee benefit plans or arrangements or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing, or (iii) amend any Plans, Parent Plans or other employee benefit plans or arrangements.

7.04 Conditions. Parent will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 to be satisfied and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein as soon as reasonably possible after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article III (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing).

The representations and warranties contained in Article IV and Article V, and those contained in the Company Certificate and Parent Certificate will survive the Closing and will terminate on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date; provided that the Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties in Article IV will survive the Closing and will terminate on the sixtieth (60th) day after expiration of the applicable statute(s) of limitations. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for a period of fifteen (15) months following the date on which the performance of such covenant or agreement is required to be completed; provided that the covenants and agreements which require performance prior to the Closing shall expire on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date; and provided further that, subject to the treatment of pending claims under Section 8.04, the Securityholders’ obligations under Section 8.02(a) (other than with respect to the Escrow Exceptions) shall expire on the Indemnity Escrow Release Date and their obligations under Section 8.02(a) with respect to the Escrow Exceptions shall terminate on the sixtieth (60th) day after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. No claim for indemnification hereunder for breach of any such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements may be made after the expiration of such applicable survival period.

8.02 Indemnification for the Benefit of Parent Indemnified Parties.

(a) From and after the Closing (but subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII), each Securityholder will, severally and in accordance with its Indemnification Pro Rata Percentage, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Parent’s Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) in respect of any loss, cost, liability, damage, claim, award, fine, penalty or expenses (including reasonable legal fees), interest, judgments or settlements (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) suffered or incurred by any such Parent Indemnified Party to the extent such Loss directly or indirectly results or arises from (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in Article IV or in the Company Certificate, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company or the Representative set forth in this Agreement, (iii) any Taxes imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, other than Taxes (A) that were taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital or Transaction Expenses, (B) attributable to any election made under Section 338(g) with respect to the Merger or any transaction occurring on the Closing Date but after the Closing outside of the ordinary course of business, or (C) Parent’s share of Transfer Taxes under Section 10.01(d), (iv) all reasonable costs and expenses of any Parent Indemnified Party in connection with any appraisal proceedings, including any consideration payable to holders of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the amounts that would have been payable to such holders pursuant to Section 1.02(a), (v) any Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses not included in the calculation of Merger Consideration under Section 1.03 or the Final Adjustment Amount under Section 1.10, (vi) any claim or action by Persons who are or were holders of the securities of the Company, in their capacities as such, arising out of facts or circumstances existing on or prior to the Closing (including claims or actions arising out of the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or allocation of the Merger Consideration), (vii) any claim relating to

the cancellation or termination of the Company Options and payment of Option Consideration or (viii) any failure by the Company to appropriately classify employees as non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act or California Labor Code (including any penalties under California Labor Code § 2699) or other violation of wage and hour requirements under applicable Law, including (A) any failure to pay overtime wages to any employee of the Company, (B) any failure to maintain pay records, and (C) any failure to provide meal or rest periods to any employee of the Company. From and after the Closing (but subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII), each Shareholder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties in respect of any Loss suffered or incurred by any such Parent Indemnified Party to the extent such Loss directly or indirectly results or arises from (A) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in any Letter of Transmittal delivered by such Shareholder or (B) any breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in any Letter of Transmittal delivered by such Shareholder, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no other Shareholder will be liable to the Parent Indemnified Parties in connection therewith.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement:

(i) no Parent Indemnified Party will be entitled to any indemnification under Section 8.02(a)(i) for a Loss of less than $10,000 with respect to any individual item or related items of Loss (“Minor Claim”); and

(ii) no Parent Indemnified Party will be entitled to any indemnification under Section 8.02(a)(i) unless the aggregate of all Losses (excluding Minor Claims) relating to indemnification claims exceed on an aggregate basis an amount equal to $100,000 (the “Threshold”), in which event the Parent Indemnified Party will be entitled for all Losses from the first dollar; provided, that the Threshold shall not apply to Losses directly or indirectly resulting or arising from any Escrow Exceptions.

(c) With respect to any Losses arising from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in any Letter of Transmittal delivered by a Shareholder, the Parent Indemnified Parties may only deduct from the Indemnity Escrow Fund an amount equal to the applicable Shareholder’s Pro Rata Percentage of the then remaining Indemnity Escrow Funds (which limitation shall not limit the Parent Indemnified Parties’ other remedies against such Shareholder) (thereafter, the Representative, upon receiving notice from Parent that such payment from the Indemnity Escrow Fund was made to Parent, will promptly update the Percentage Schedule to recalculate the Pro Rata Percentage of each Securityholder to reflect the reduction of such Shareholder’s portion of the Escrow Fund, and the Representative will promptly deliver the updated Percentage Schedule to Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Escrow Agent and such updated schedule will replace and supersede the Percentage Schedule). None of the Representative, any Shareholder or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligation to replenish or otherwise fund the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(d) The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on Parent Indemnified Parties’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Securityholders hereunder.

(e) For purposes of determining the amount of a Loss under Section 8.02(a) resulting from a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that is Qualified, such Qualifications will be deemed omitted therefrom for purposes of determining whether an inaccuracy or breach of such representation or warranty has occurred (other than the representations and warranties in

Section 4.05, clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 4.07, and Section 4.09) or for calculating the amount of Loss that is the subject of indemnification thereunder.

(f) All payments made pursuant to this Section 8.02 will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds received by the Securityholders pursuant to Article II.

(g) Subject to the last sentence of this subsection (g), recovery from the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery of the Parent Indemnified Parties for any claim for indemnification pursuant to clause Section 8.02(a), other than with respect to any Escrow Exception. With respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 8.02(a), no Securityholder shall be liable for any Losses in excess of such Securityholder’s Indemnification Pro Rata Percentage of the Losses or in an amount in excess, in the aggregate (including amounts recovered pursuant to Section 1.10), of the proceeds actually received by such Securityholder in the Merger (including with respect to the Transferring Sellers, the value (based on the Parent Price Per Share) of the shares of Parent Common Stock received by such Transferring Seller pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement).

With respect to any Transferring Seller, such Transferring Seller shall have the option to satisfy a portion of any indemnification obligation that is outside the Escrow Fund with shares of Parent Common Stock (valued at the Parent Price Per Share) in an amount that does not exceed the ratio that the shares of Parent Common Stock received by that Transferring Seller pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement bears to the total value of the consideration received by that Transferring Seller under this Agreement and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of any indemnification claims may be satisfied in cash. Parent shall exhaust the Indemnity Escrow Fund before proceeding directly against any Securityholder in respect of an indemnification claim; provided, that, if claims with respect to an Escrow Exception are recovered from and thereby reduce the Escrow Fund, claims that are not Escrow Exceptions and that would otherwise be limited to recovery of the property in the Escrow Fund may instead be recovered to the extent of the amount of such reduction(s) (but still subject, when viewed in the aggregate with all claims that are not Escrow Exceptions, to a cap equal to the Escrow Fund prior to any reduction thereof) from the respective Securityholders, subject to the other applicable limitations set forth in this Article VIII.

(h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any Losses resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company under this Agreement are taken into account as Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses, an Included Current Liability, or are otherwise accounted for in determining Closing Cash Consideration, Estimated Net Working Capital, the Final Adjustment Amount or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Merger Consideration, (i) no Parent Indemnified Party may recover such Losses through a claim pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise and (ii) those Losses will not be included in the determination of whether all Losses, in the aggregate, exceed the Threshold or the limitation on indemnification under Section 8.02(g).

(i) The indemnification remedies set forth in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of all Parent Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or in connection with or with respect to (i) any of the matters referred to in Section 8.02(a), or (ii) a breach, or the subject matter, of this Agreement, in each case, other than claims arising from fraud or willful misconduct and for equitable remedies. Except as set forth in the last clause of the preceding sentence, the Parent Indemnified Parties hereby waive and release any and all tort claims and causes of action that may relate to, arise out of, or are in connection with this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement.

8.03 Indemnification for the Benefit of Seller Indemnified Parties.

(a) From and after the Closing (but subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII), Parent will indemnify and hold harmless the Securityholders and the Representative and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents, Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against any Losses suffered or incurred by any such Seller Indemnified Party to the extent such Loss directly or indirectly results or arises from (a) a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Parent set forth in Article V of this Agreement, or (b) any breach of any covenant of Parent contained in this Agreement. All payments under this Section 8.03(a) will be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds received by the Securityholders pursuant to Article II.

(b) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 8.03 will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Securityholders within ten (10) days after the determination thereof. The indemnification amount paid to each Securityholder will be pro rata based upon such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Percentage. The aggregate amount of Losses for which Parent will be liable under this Agreement will not exceed the sum of the Merger Consideration and the value (based on the Parent Price Per Share) of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued to the Transferring Sellers pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

(c) The indemnification remedies set forth in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of all Seller Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or in connection with or with respect to (i) any of the matters referred to in Section 8.03(a), or (i) a breach, or the subject matter, of this Agreement, in each case, other than for claims arising from fraud or willful misconduct and for equitable remedies. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Seller Indemnified Parties hereby waive and release any and all tort claims and causes of action that may relate to, arise out of, or are in connection with this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement.

8.04 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party in respect of a breach of representation or warranty, covenant or agreement will terminate on the applicable survival termination date (as set forth in Section 8.01), unless, with respect to a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that terminates following the Closing Date, an Indemnitee has incurred a Loss prior to such applicable survival termination date and made a claim for indemnification under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, prior to such applicable survival termination date, including by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail the nature of and factual basis for the indemnification claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable, or if not known, a good faith and reasonable estimate thereof) and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) to the Indemnitor. If an Indemnitee has made a claim for indemnification under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 prior to such termination date, then such claim (and only such claim and only the amounts then unpaid or in dispute with respect to such claim) for such Loss incurred, if then unresolved, will not be extinguished by the passage of the deadlines set forth in Section 8.01.

8.05 Defense of Third Party Claims. Any Person making a claim for indemnification under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 (an “Indemnitee”) will notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) and the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders), if applicable, of the claim in writing promptly after receiving written notice of any Legal Proceeding, investigation or other claim against it by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) or becoming aware of the facts giving rise to a Third Party Claim (provided that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby), stating in reasonable detail the nature of and factual basis for the Third Party Claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable, or if not known, a good faith and reasonable estimate thereof) and the provisions of this Agreement upon

which such claim for indemnification is made. Any Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option will be entitled to assume and control the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor will not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim: (i) consisting of a criminal or quasi-criminal Legal Proceeding, investigation or other claim, (ii) primarily seeking an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee or (iii) taking into account all other pending claims for indemnification and the provisions of this Article VIII, the Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim in the event of an adverse determination would reasonably be expected to exceed the Indemnity Escrow Funds. The Indemnitee will be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, for which the Indemnitor has exercised its option to assume and control the defense, provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be borne by the Indemnitee unless (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee or (C) the Indemnitor has failed to diligently pursue the defense and employ counsel. If the Indemnitor will control the defense of any such claim then the Indemnitor will be entitled to settle such claim; provided that the Indemnitor will obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee before entering into any settlement of a Third Party Claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim. If the Indemnitor chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, will cooperate in good faith in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the Indemnitor’s request) the provision to the Indemnitor of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, Parent or such other Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle such claim, provided, that, settlement shall not be dispositive of the existence of an indemnifiable claim or the amount of Losses unless the written consent of the Representative to such settlement is obtained. The Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders) will act on behalf of all Indemnitors in the case of all Third Party Claims with respect to which a Parent Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification under Section 8.02 (with each Securityholder responsible for its portion of Representative’s costs and expenses in undertaking such representation (determined on a pro rata basis according to each such Person’s Pro Rata Percentage)).

8.06 Determination of Loss Amount.

(a) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 will be calculated net of (i) the value of any reduction in Tax liability as a deduction, refund, credit or otherwise actually realized in the taxable year the Loss occurred or any prior taxable year, as determined by Parent in its reasonable discretion, and (ii) any amounts actually recovered by any Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates under or pursuant to any insurance policy or title insurance policy pursuant to which or under which such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s Affiliates is a party or has rights, less any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any related increases in insurance premiums or other chargebacks (collectively, “Alternative Arrangements”). In the event that a recovery is made under an Alternative Arrangement by any Parent Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery will be made promptly to the Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage.

(b) In no event will any Indemnitee be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of punitive damages unless such amounts are paid to a third party. The Parent Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VIII to the extent such matter was taken into account in determining the Merger Consideration or Final Adjustment Amount.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

10.01 Tax Matters.

(a) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.

(i) Parent will prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries that have not been filed as of the Closing Date. Parent will timely pay or cause to be timely paid any amount shown as due on such Tax Returns. All such Tax Returns that are with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods will be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the past custom and practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will waive any carryback of any net operating loss, capital loss or credit on any such Tax Return. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which each Tax Return with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period is due, Parent will submit such Tax Return to the Representative to provide the Representative with an opportunity to comment on and approve such Tax Returns (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent will make any changes reasonably requested by the Representative in time for the Tax Return to be timely filed.

(ii) With respect to the preparation of Tax Returns, Parent and the Representative agree that all Transaction Tax Deductions will be treated as properly allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period. Parent will include all Transaction Tax Deductions as deductions in the Tax Returns of the Company or its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period that ends on the Closing Date and will request a refund (rather than a credit against future Taxes) with respect to any overpayment for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. For the portion of the day of the Closing after the time of Closing, other than the transactions expressly contemplated hereby, Parent will cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to carry on its business only in the ordinary course in the same manner as heretofore conducted. Parent, the Company and the Subsidiaries will not take any action, or permit any action to be taken, that may prevent the Tax year of the Company and its Subsidiaries from ending for all relevant Tax purposes at the end of the day on which the Closing occurs and will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant taxing authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

(b) Refunds for Pre-Closing Tax Period. Parent will pay to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Securityholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage) any refund of Tax paid with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and any interest thereon paid by a Governmental Body (provided, that, any amounts payable to the former holders of In-the-Money Options who are Employees shall be distributed by Parent to the Surviving Corporation for payroll processing, and the Surviving Corporation will, within two (2) Business Days thereafter, disburse such payments, net of applicable Tax withholdings, to the former holders of such In-the-Money Options who are Employees).

(c) Books and Records; Cooperation. Parent and the Representative will, and will cause their respective representatives to, (i) provide the other party and its representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, including the filing of any claim for refund resulting from a carry back of a Transaction Tax Deduction, or any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) retain and provide the other party and its representatives with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination or proceeding, provided that the foregoing will be done at the expense of the party making such request and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the parties.

(d) Transfer Taxes. Securityholders and Parent will each pay, and will indemnify and hold the other harmless against, 50% of any stamp Tax, stock transfer Tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the Company and its Subsidiaries or one or more Shareholders as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties, interest or additions to Tax with respect to the Transfer Taxes. Parent agrees to cooperate with the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders) in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(e) Amendment of Tax Returns; Tax Elections. Without the prior written consent of Representative (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Parent will not (i) amend or permit the Company or any Subsidiary to amend any Tax Return of Company or any Subsidiary relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) file any Tax Return of Company or any Subsidiary relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period in any jurisdiction where Company or such Subsidiary has not previously filed Tax Returns, or (iii) make any election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(f) Straddle Period Allocation. To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes among a Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass through entity in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest will be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

10.02 280G. The Company will, prior to the Closing Date, use commercially reasonably efforts to (i) seek to obtain from any disqualified individual entitled to an excess parachute payment (each as defined in Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto), a waiver of any payments with respect to arrangements in place at the Closing that would, absent shareholder approval, be excess parachute payments as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) solicit

shareholder approval (in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto) of any payments to any disqualified individuals pursuant to arrangements in effect at the Closing that would, absent shareholder approval, be excess parachute payments as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. To the extent that any contract, agreement or plan is entered into by Parent or any of its Affiliates and a disqualified individual on or prior to the Closing, Parent shall cooperate with the Company in good faith to timely provide the Company with all necessary information needed for the Company to determine whether any “disqualified individuals” would have any “excess parachute payments” resulting, directly or indirectly, from any such contract, agreement or plan.

10.03 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such party’s expense, any other party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

10.04 Disclosure Generally. All Disclosure Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein and expressly made a part of this Agreement as though completely set forth herein. All references to this Agreement herein or in any of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to refer to this entire Agreement, including all Disclosure Schedules.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of (i) prior to the Closing, the Company and Parent and (ii) from and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation, the Representative and Parent. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement without such prior written consent shall be void and of no effect.

12.06 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party, and the parties will amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any prohibited or invalid provision with an effective and valid provision that gives effect to the intent of the parties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

12.07 References. The table of contents and the section and other headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement and the exhibits hereto are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties hereto, and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibit hereto. All references to days or months will be deemed references to calendar days or months. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a “Section,” “Exhibit,” “Disclosure Schedule” or “Schedule” will be deemed to refer to a section of this Agreement, exhibit to this Agreement or a schedule to this Agreement, as applicable. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import referring to this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “or,” “any” and “either” are not exclusive. Whenever the words “ordinary course of business” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “consistent with past practice.” English will be the governing language of this Agreement.

12.08 Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in any Disclosure Schedule or Exhibit is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of contract).

12.09 Amendment and Waiver. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by Parent, the Company and the

12.10 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules and the documents referred to herein (including the Confidentiality Agreement) contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. The parties agree that prior drafts of this Agreement will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of any provision hereof or the intent of the parties hereto with respect hereto. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement will govern and control.

12.11 Third Party Beneficiaries. Section 7.02 (with respect to the D&O Indemnitees) and Article VIII (with respect to the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties) of this Agreement are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the Securityholders, the D&O Indemnitees, the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and, solely with respect to the specific Sections identified above, the Securityholders, the D&O Indemnitees, the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

SERVICE OF PROCESS WITH RESPECT THERETO MAY BE MADE UPON ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.04.

12.13 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,

THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.13.

12.15 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

12.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages or Electronic Delivery in portable document format (pdf)), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

12.17 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Minnesota applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State, except that all matters related to the Merger will be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of California.

12.18 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur (for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) in the event that one of the parties hereto (Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable) fails to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that (i) the parties hereto will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof regarding consummation of the transaction, as against Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, in any court having jurisdiction, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties hereto are entitled at law or in equity, and (ii) this right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent or Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief under the circumstances described above is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason,

and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. Nothing in this Section 12.18, however, may be used to nullify or negate the termination rights contained in Section 9.01 of this Agreement.

12.19 Payments Under Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that all amounts required to be paid hereunder will be paid in United States currency and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, without discount, rebate or reduction and subject to no counterclaim or offset (other than withholding tax obligations required to be withheld by Law), on the dates specified herein (with time being of the essence). Subject to the provisions of Section 1.10 (which will govern any dispute arising thereunder), in the event any Legal Proceeding is commenced or threatened by any Person to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other Person, then the prevailing party in such Legal Proceeding shall have the right to collect from the other party all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing party in such Legal Proceeding; provided that if the prevailing party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Legal Proceeding, the court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such Legal Proceeding will award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party on an equitable basis based on relative success. For purposes hereof, and without limitation, a party will be deemed to have prevailed in any Legal Proceeding described in the immediately preceding sentence if (i) claim(s) asserted against such party are subsequently dropped, voluntarily dismissed or voluntarily reduced and/or (ii) the party successfully brings or defends an action and receives a favorable judgment or verdict.

12.20 Appointment of the Representative.

(a) In order to administer efficiently the determination of, amongst other items, the Merger Consideration and the Final Adjustment Amount and the defense and/or settlement of any claims for Losses for which the Parent Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, the Securityholders, by their adoption and approval of this Agreement, as well as, in certain cases, through separate instruments (including the Letters of Transmittal and Option Surrender Forms), irrevocably appoint the Representative as their exclusive agent, attorney in fact and representative (with full power of substitution in the premises), and, by its execution hereof, the Representative hereby accepts such appointment.

(b) The Representative is hereby authorized (i) to take all action necessary in connection with the acceptance, rejection and determination of the Merger Consideration and the Final Adjustment Amount and the defense and/or settlement of any claims for Losses (including the power to compromise any indemnity claim on behalf of the Securityholders and to transact matters of litigation) for which the Parent Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, (ii) to give and receive all notices required to be given under this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby to which all of the Securityholders are subject, and (iii) to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Representative will deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the power:

(i) to pay any expenses of the Securityholders or the Representative from the Representative Expense Account;

(ii) to execute and deliver all consents, waivers, ancillary agreements, stock powers, certificates and documents that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) to execute and deliver all amendments and waivers to this Agreement that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate after the Closing;

(iv) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Securityholders that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as the Securityholders could do if personally present; and

(v) to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Securityholders, except as expressly provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Representative in any ancillary agreement (other than the Escrow Agreement), schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedules.

(c) In the event that the Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Shareholders (or, if applicable, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns) who held a majority of the voting power represented by the Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative will be deemed to be the Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.
