Total Consideration for Company Stock set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by California Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2(a) hereof, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s dissenters’ rights under California Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be cancelled, extinguished and represent only the right to receive that portion of the Total Consideration as set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, without interest thereon, and subject to the escrow provisions of Article 9 hereof, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

(c) The Company shall give Acquiror (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to California Law, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Acquiror or the Company (i) makes any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) incurs any other costs or expenses, (including specifically, but without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding or in connection with any investigation) in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) (together “Dissenting Share Payments”), Acquiror shall be entitled to recover, subject to the terms of Article 9 hereof, the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments without regard to the Damage Threshold (as defined in Section 9.3 hereof).

3.3 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) The Corporate Secretary of Acquiror, or an institution selected by Acquiror, shall serve as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the Merger.

(b) Within three (3) business days following the Effective Time, Acquiror shall make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article 3, the amount of the Total Consideration payable pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Stock; provided, however, that, on behalf of the Company Preferred Shareholders, Acquiror shall deposit into the Escrow Fund (as defined in Section 9.2 hereof) a portion of the Total Consideration equal to the Escrow Amount, otherwise payable to the Company Preferred Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof. Each Company Preferred Shareholder shall be deemed to have contributed his or her Company Preferred Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Fund.

(c) Immediately following the Effective Time, Acquiror shall pay the Company Sale Bonus Amounts in accordance with Schedule 3.1(a)(ix) and, on behalf of the Company, Acquiror shall deposit into the Escrow Fund a portion of the Company Sale Bonus Amount equal to the Principal Shareholder Pro Rata Portion of each Principal Shareholder, otherwise payable to the Principal Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ix) hereof. Each Principal Shareholder shall be deemed to have contributed his Principal Shareholder Pro Rata Portion of the Principal Shareholder Escrow Amount to the Escrow Fund.

(d) On or after the Closing Date (but in no event later than eight (8) business days after the Effective Time), Acquiror shall or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, mail a letter of transmittal, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Letter of Transmittal”), to each Company Preferred Shareholder at the address set forth opposite each such Company Preferred Shareholder’s name on the

Spreadsheet (as defined in Section 7.16 hereof). After receipt of such Letter of Transmittal, the Company Preferred Shareholders will surrender the certificates representing their shares of Company Stock to the Exchange Agent for cancellation together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal. Upon surrender of a stock certificate representing shares of the Company Stock for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Acquiror, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, subject to the terms of Section 3.3(e) hereof, the holder of such stock certificate shall be entitled to receive from the Exchange Agent in exchange therefor, the amount of the Total Consideration (less the portion of the Total Consideration to be deposited in the Escrow Fund on such holder’s behalf pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereof and Article 8 hereof) to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof, and all stock certificates so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each stock certificate representing shares of Company Stock outstanding after the Effective Time will be deemed from and for all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the portion of the Total Consideration for which such shares of Company Stock shall have been so exchanged. No payments of any portion of the Total Consideration will be made until the holder of Company Stock surrenders his, her or its stock certificate(s) pursuant hereto.

(e) If any portion of the Total Consideration is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Company stock certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance or delivery thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of any portion of the Total Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Acquiror or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

3.4 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The payment of the Total Consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any stock certificates representing shares of Company Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 3.

3.5 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amount, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof; provided, however, that Acquiror may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Company Preferred Shareholder who is the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to either (i) deliver a bond in such amount as it may reasonably direct or (ii) provide an indemnification agreement in a form and substance acceptable to Acquiror, against any claim that may be made against Acquiror or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

3.6 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Acquiror, Merger Sub, and the officers and directors of the Company, Acquiror and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Parties shall have no liability under Section 8.1 and Acquiror may not receive any cash from the Escrow Fund unless and until an Officer’s Certificate or Certificates for an aggregate amount of Damages in excess of $30,000 has been delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent and to the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that after an Officer’s Certificate or Certificates for an aggregate of $30,000 (the “Damage Threshold”) in Damages has been delivered, Acquiror shall be entitled to receive a portion of the Escrow Amount in excess of such amount of Damages identified in such Officer’s Certificate or Certificates; provided further, that the full amount of any of Acquiror’s Damages incurred in connection with any breach of Section 4.3 shall be deducted by Acquiror from the Escrow Fund without regard to the Damage Threshold in this Section 9.3; and provided further, that the Company’s Excess Third Party Expenses shall, at Acquiror’s option, be deducted from the Escrow Fund without regard to the Damage Threshold in this Section 9.3.

9.4 Escrow Periods. The Escrow Fund shall commence on the Closing Date and terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing (the “Expiration Date,” and the period between the Closing and the Expiration Date shall be referred to as the “Escrow Period”), provided, however, that the portion of the Escrow Amount, which, in the reasonable judgment of Acquiror, subject to the objection of the Shareholders’ Agent and the subsequent resolution of the matter in the manner provided in Section 9.8, is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate theretofore delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders’ Agent prior to termination of the Escrow Period with respect to Damages incurred or litigation pending prior to expiration of the Escrow Period, shall remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims have been finally resolved, or, if earlier, until released in accordance with Section 9.1 above and 9.5 below.

9.5 Claims Upon Escrow Fund. Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent on or before the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by any appropriately authorized officer of Acquiror (an “Officer’s Certificate”):

(i) Stating the aggregate amount of Acquiror’s Damages or an estimate thereof, in each case to the extent known or determinable at such time, and

(ii) Specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued or arose, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach or claim to which such item is related, then the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 9.3, 9.7 and 9.8 hereof, deliver to Acquiror out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, a portion of the Escrow Amount having a value equal to such Damages, all in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 9.6 below. Amounts paid or distributed from the Escrow Fund shall be paid or distributed pro rata among the Indemnifying Parties based upon their respective percentage interests therein at the time.

9.6 Objections to Claims to Escrow Fund. At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent and for a period of thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery of any portion of the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 9.5 unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholders’ Agent to make such delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of the portion of the Escrow Amount in the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 9.5, provided that no such delivery may be made if the Shareholders’ Agent shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent and to Acquiror prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

9.7 Resolution of Conflicts.

(a) In case the Shareholders’ Agent shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate, the Acquiror shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection. If after such thirty (30) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Shareholders’ Agent and Acquiror shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Shareholders’ Agent and Acquiror should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, if Acquiror has requested delivery of a portion of the Escrow Amount, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and shall distribute the portion of the Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the memorandum.

(b) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Acquiror or the Shareholders’ Agent may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter, unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days after such written notice is sent, Acquiror (on the one hand) and the Shareholders’ Agent (on the other hand) shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Sections 9.1 through 9.5, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance with such decision.

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

9.8 Shareholders’ Agent.

(a) Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, Xx. is constituted and appointed as agent (the “Shareholders’ Agent”) for and on behalf of the Company Preferred Shareholders and Principal Shareholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to Acquiror of the portion of the Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by Acquiror, to object to such deliveries, to agree

to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Stock from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Acquiror. No bond shall be required of the Shareholders’ Agent, and the Shareholders’ Agent shall receive reasonable compensation for services, fees and expenses incurred in good faith arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, such compensation, fees and expenses shall be deducted from the Escrow Fund. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholders’ Agent shall constitute notice to or from each of the Company Preferred Shareholders and the Principal Shareholders. If the Shareholders’ Agent shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities as agent of Company Preferred Shareholders and the Principal Shareholders, then Company Preferred Shareholders and the Principal Shareholders shall, within ten days after such death or disability, appoint a successor agent and, promptly thereafter, shall notify Acquiror of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall become the “Shareholders’ Agent” for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If for any reason there is no Shareholders’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Shareholders’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Principal Shareholders.

(b) The Shareholders’ Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Shareholders’ Agent while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Company Preferred Shareholders and Principal Shareholders shall jointly and severally indemnify the Shareholders’ Agent and hold him harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Shareholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

(c) The Shareholders’ Agent shall have reasonable access to information about Company and Acquiror and the reasonable assistance of Company’s and Acquiror’s officers and employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights under this Article 8, provided that the Shareholders’ Agent shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about Company or Acquiror to anyone (except on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially).

9.9 Actions of the Shareholders’ Agent. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent shall constitute a decision of all of the Company Preferred Shareholders and Principal Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Company Preferred Shareholder and Principal Shareholder, and the Escrow Agent and Acquiror may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Company Preferred Shareholder and Principal Shareholder. The Escrow Agent and Acquiror are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent.

9.10 Claims. In the event Acquiror becomes aware of a third-party claim which Acquiror believes may result in a demand against the Company Preferred Shareholders and Principal Shareholders, Acquiror shall notify the Shareholders’ Agent of such claim, and the Shareholders’ Agent and the Company Preferred Shareholders and Principal Shareholders shall be entitled, at their expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. Acquiror shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim; provided, however, that Acquiror may not effect the settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Shareholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Shareholders’ Agent has consented to any such settlement, the Shareholders’ Agent shall have no power or authority to object to the amount of any claim by Acquiror against the Company Preferred

Shareholders and Principal Shareholders for indemnity with respect to such settlement, unless such claim is in an amount in excess of any amount consented to by the Shareholders’ Agent.

9.11 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) At or immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholders’ Representative shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Acquiror and the Acquiror shall have approved a statement (the “Working Capital Statement”) setting forth the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital (as defined below). The Closing Date Net Working Capital shall mean: (A) the sum of (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) prepaid expenses, the benefits of which survive the Closing, (iii) the accounts receivable of the Company earned prior to the Closing Date and collectible on or after the Closing Date, and (iv) “the economic value of fixed assets” all as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, (B) with deduction for (i) the accounts payable, (ii) accrued liabilities not yet invoiced, and (iii) earned but unpaid vacation as of the Closing Date Balance Sheet. The Closing Date Net Working Capital shall not include any adjustments for the Adjustment Amount. The Working Capital Target shall mean $4,440,000. The Company estimates that the Closing Date Net Working Capital will be $4,234,900 as detailed in the spreadsheet set forth as Exhibit L hereto (the “Working Capital Spreadsheet”).

(b) In the event that it is determined that the Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Target (as defined above), the excess shall be subtracted from the Adjustment Amount set forth in Section 3.1(a)(i). If the Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target, then the amount shall be added to the Adjustment Amount set forth in Section 3.1(a)(i).
