ARTICLE III

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE OF SHARES

3.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each share of Common Stock, no par value per share, of the Company (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”), issued and outstanding (assuming the conversion of all Preferred Shares into Shares immediately prior to the Closing) immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned by Parent or MergerSub or Shares that are held by the Company as treasury stock and in each case not held on behalf of third parties (each, an “Excluded Share” and collectively, “Excluded Shares”) and (ii) any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to

16

receive (x) the Initial Per Share Payment, and (y) the Per Share Holdback Payments, if any (such right, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

(b) Cancellation of Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c) MergerSub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of MergerSub (“MergerSub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) (i) Immediately following the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares (a “Company Stock Option”) under the Company Option Plans and the UK Option Plan, vested or unvested, shall be terminated in exchange for the right to receive (A) the Initial Option Payment, and (B) the Option Holdback Payments, if any. Any reference to Vested Options and Unvested Options in this Agreement also refers to the right to receive the Initial Option Payment and Option Holdback Payment into which such Options were converted. Parent shall deliver (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to deliver) to the holder of each Vested Option immediately following the Effective Date, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time, a check for the Initial Option Payment, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. The parties hereto agree that to the extent that an Initial Option Payment and/or Option Holdback Payment becomes due after the Closing Date with respect to Unvested Options that become vested after the Closing Date as provided in this Section 3.1(d)(i), such payments in respect thereof shall be held by the Parent until the Unvested Option Payment Date (as defined below) following expiration of the applicable vesting periods. Following the end of each vesting period for each such Unvested Option in which vesting of the underlying shares of such Unvested Option would have occurred, the Company will pay, quarterly in arrears on the fifth Business Day of the first month following the applicable calendar quarter, and commencing on the first Business Day of the first month following the calendar quarter that includes the Closing Date, (each such quarterly date, an “Unvested Option Payment Date”) the Initial Option Payment and the Option Holdback Payments (in the case of the Option Holdback Payments, to the extent and in the proportion that Option Holdback Payments are eligible to be distributed to the holder of the Unvested Option pursuant to Section 3.4) with respect to those Unvested Options that vested during such calendar quarter, to the holder of such now Vested Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. In the event the employment of a holder of an Unvested Option terminates prior to the vesting of such Unvested Option (or a portion thereof), the Parent shall have no further obligations to make payments to such holder for any unvested amounts, but the holder shall still be entitled to receive the Initial Option Payment and the Option Holdback Payments (in the case of the Option Holdback Payments, to the extent and in the

17

proportion that Option Holdback Payments are eligible to be distributed to the holder of the Unvested Option pursuant to Section 3.4) with respect to those Options, if any, that vested prior to or upon such termination of employment during such calendar quarter on the applicable Unvested Option Payment Date. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, the foregoing rights shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including without limitation, exercise price, continued employment or other services, vesting schedule and acceleration of vesting) that applied to the related Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(ii) The Per Share Merger Consideration paid in respect of any share of restricted stock set forth on Schedule 3.1(d)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or issued pursuant to the early exercise of a Company Stock Option (the “Company Restricted Stock”) shall be paid (if, as and when the components thereof are paid) into an escrow account held by the Company governed by the same terms and conditions (including without limitation, vesting, transfer restrictions and repurchase rights) as were applicable to such share of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(iii) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the board of directors and the compensation committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary (including, without limitation, amending the Company Option Plans) to effectuate Section 3.1(d)(i) and 3.1(d)(ii). In addition, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide to Parent a copy of a written acknowledgment and waiver (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent) from holders of Company Stock Options to purchase at least 90% of the Shares purchasable upon the exercise of all Company Stock Options (other than Company Stock Options granted under the UK Option Plan) and from each holder of shares of Company Restricted Stock (a) confirming the number of Company Stock Options and/or shares of Company Restricted Stock held, (b) confirming the termination of such Company Stock Options and the treatment of shares of Company Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement, (c) confirming that the consideration to be paid in respect of such Company Stock Options and shares of Company Restricted Stock is correct, (d) authorizing the withholding of all applicable taxes, and (e) containing such other matters as Parent may reasonably require (an “Acknowledgment and Waiver”).

(iv) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the board of directors and/or the compensation committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary in relation to Company Stock Options granted under the UK Option Plan (including, without limitation, amending the UK Option Plan) to effectuate Section 3.1(d)(i) and 3.1(d)(ii). In addition, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide to Parent copies of a written consent and waiver agreement (executed as a deed for English law purposes and in form and substance

18

reasonably satisfactory to Parent) from holders of Company Stock Options granted under the UK Option Plan to purchase at least 90% of the Shares purchasable upon the exercise of all Company Stock Options granted under the UK Option Plan (a) confirming the number of Company Stock Options granted under the UK Option Plan, (b) agreeing to the termination of such Company Stock Options immediately following the Effective Time on the basis set out in Section 3.1(d)(i) and their waiver of any right to exercise such Company Stock Options, whether vested or not, at or after the Effective Time, (c) confirming that the consideration to be paid in respect of such Company Stock Options, (d) authorizing the withholding of all applicable Taxes and social security contributions including employee’s National Insurance Contributions, and (e) containing such other matters as Parent may reasonably require.

(v) The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Shares or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Stock Options or Shares of Company Restricted Stock after the Effective Time.

(vi) All payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) shall be made as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, commencing on the first Business Day following the Effective Time. The parties acknowledge and agree that Parent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to receive any and all income tax deductions in respect of the cash payments made in respect of the Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(d)(i) and (ii).

(e) Warrants and other Rights. The Company shall take all action necessary to ensure that (i) any rights, options, warrants or other rights or agreements of any kind that obligate the Company to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company (other than Company Stock Options) (“Company Equity Rights”), that are outstanding and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time and that have not been exercised or cancelled prior thereto, shall terminate and be cancelled as of the Effective Time and thereafter be of no further force or effect, and (ii) no Company Equity Rights are granted after the date of this Agreement.

3.2 Payment for Shares. (a) At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited with Computershare Shareholder Services, or a bank or trust company designated by Parent with the Company’s consent (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, an amount in cash sufficient in the aggregate to provide all funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make the Initial Per Share Payments pursuant to Section 3.1(a) in accordance with this Section 3.2 (such cash, as so deposited, the “Exchange Fund”).

19

(b) Paying Agent. From and after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall act as paying agent in effecting the exchange of the applicable Initial Per Share Payment for Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares of the Company and were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration therefor pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (A) a letter of transmittal specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the applicable Initial Per Share Payments. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings) to which such holder is entitled, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled forthwith. If payment is to be made to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent that such tax was paid or is not applicable. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates.

(d) Stock Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. Commencing at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of the Company other than as required to comply with the terms of this Agreement. At and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate shall cease to have rights as a Shareholder, except for the right to surrender his or her Certificate in exchange for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration and no transfer of Shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration as provided for herein.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Upon the 90^th day following the Closing Date, the Paying Agent’s duties shall terminate, and any cash deposited in the account of the Paying Agent shall be transferred to an account of Parent managed and held for the benefit of the holders of Shares. Thereafter, any Shareholder who has not

20

theretofore exchanged its Shares in accordance with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the applicable Initial Per Share Payment upon due surrender of their Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) and to Parent for the applicable Per Share Holdback Payments, if any, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Shareholders’ Representative, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the execution by such Person of an indemnification agreement for the benefit of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective agents, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Initial Per Share Payment to be paid in respect of the Share represented thereby upon due surrender of and deliverable in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement.

3.3 Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Shares that are owned by holders (“Dissenting Shareholders”) who have properly demanded and perfected dissenters’ rights pursuant to the CGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”), will not be exchangeable for the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Dissenting Shareholders will be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the CGCL, unless and until such holders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or lose their rights to appraisal and payment under the CGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such rights, such holder’s Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration without any interest thereon. The Company will promptly give Parent notice of any demands received by the Company for dissenters’ rights, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by the Company with respect to its Shareholders’ dissenters’ rights. Parent shall have the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under the CGCL. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands regarding appraisals of or payments for Dissenting Shares, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands. The Company shall comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 1301(a) of the CGCL within ten (10) calendar days following the date of this Agreement.

3.4 Per Share Holdback Payments and Option Holdback Payments. (a) Within five (5) Business Days following the First Holdback Payment Date, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid:

21

(ii) to each Vested Option Holder as of the First Holdback Payment Date, the First Subsequent Per Option Payment payable with respect to the Vested Options held by such Vested Option Holder as of the First Holdback Payment Date.

(b) On or after the date that is five (5) Business Days following the First Holdback Payment Date, each Unvested Option Holder as of the First Holdback Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the First Subsequent Per Option Payment with respect to the Unvested Options held by such Unvested Option Holder under Section 3.1(d)(i) as of the First Holdback Payment Date.

The Company has made available to Parent a complete and accurate copy of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ articles or certificates of incorporation and by-laws (or equivalent governing instruments), each as amended to the date hereof (the “Organizational Documents”).

Except as set forth above and in Section 4.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, calls, commitments, preemptive or other rights or agreements of any kind that obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem, acquire, issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or that give any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding.

A complete and accurate copy of each Material Contract has been made available to Parent (including all amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals, guarantees or other Contracts with respect thereto, but excluding all names, terms and conditions that have been redacted in compliance with applicable Laws governing the sharing of information). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed, orally or in writing, to any material modification, amendment or addition to any such Material Contract and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has entered into any additional Contract with any party to a Material Contract, the subject matter of which is substantially similar to such Material Contract.

(c) All Material Contracts are valid and binding and in full force and effect, except to the extent they have previously expired in accordance with their terms or for such failures to be valid and binding or in full force and effect (i) that, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that, without the Knowledge of the Company, have been caused by a party other than the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has violated, and to the Knowledge of the Company, no other party to any of the Material Contracts has violated, any provision of, or committed or failed to perform any act which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under the provisions of any Material Contract, except in each case for those violations and defaults

29

which, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Section 4.6(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, to the Knowledge of the Company, immediately following consummation of the Merger, each Material Contract will be valid, binding, and enforceable by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) As of the date hereof, during the last twelve (12) months, to the Knowledge of the Company, none of the Major Customers has terminated or failed to renew any of its Major Customer Contracts and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of termination from any of the Major Customers. To the Knowledge of the Company, no Major Customer intends to terminate or fail to renew a Major Customer Contract. The cumulative revenue recognized by the Company and its Subsidiaries from the Major Customer Contracts during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004 represents more than 60% of the Company’s total revenue for such period.

(e) Attached at Section 4.6(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule is a copy of each of the standard form Contracts currently in use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, end user, partnership, maintenance, professional services and reseller standard form Contracts) in connection with their respective businesses (each, a “Company Standard Form Contract”).

(f) Section 4.6(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and accurate list of all active vendors, resellers and distributors or similar Persons through which any Company Product is marketed, sold or otherwise distributed. Each reseller and distributor agreement of the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminable by the Company or its Subsidiary (without penalty or cost) upon 90 days’ or less notice.

4.7 The Company Financial Statements. (a) Section 4.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains: (i) the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 (the “Audit Date”) and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and shareholders’ deficit and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004, together with all related notes and schedules (collectively the “2004 Financial Statements”) and (ii) the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 (the “Balance Sheet Date”) and the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and shareholders deficit and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 (the “Interim Financial Statements” and, together with the 2004 Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements fairly present, and the Update Financials will fairly present, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the results of operations and cash flows of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and for the periods set forth therein in all material respects, except as otherwise noted therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal, recurring year-end adjustments that are not expected to be material

30

in effect either individually or in the aggregate). The Financial Statements have been prepared, and the Update Financials will be prepared, in each case, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal, recurring year-end audit adjustments that are not expected to be material in effect). There are no off-balance sheet structures or transactions with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (A) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and has identified for the Company’s auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls.

No material complaints from any source regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and no concerns from Company employees regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, have been received by the Company. The Company has made available to Parent a summary of all material complaints or concerns relating to other matters through the Company’s whistleblower hot-line or equivalent system for receipt of employee concerns regarding possible violations of Laws (as hereinafter defined). No attorney representing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a violation of securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the Company Board or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.10 Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in Section 4.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether known, unknown, absolute, accrued, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, inchoate, contingent or otherwise, whether direct or indirect, or as guarantor or otherwise with respect to any liability or obligation of any other Person and whether due or to become due), except (a) as and to the extent disclosed on and adequately reserved against in the Financial Statements, (b) for liabilities and obligations under the Material Contracts listed in Section 4.6(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (other than liabilities for any breach thereof), (c) for liabilities and obligations under any other Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business (other than liabilities for any breach thereof), (d) for accounts payable and payroll obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date, and (e) liabilities and obligations in the aggregate amount not exceeding $100,000 incurred since the Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business.

4.11 Employee Benefits. (a) All benefit and compensation plans, policies or arrangements covering current or former employees, independent contractors, consultants, temporary employees and current or former directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, that are “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and any other written plan, policy or arrangement (whether or not subject to ERISA) involving direct or indirect compensation currently maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in respect of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any outstanding liability) and covering current or former employees, independent contractors, consultants, temporary employees and current or former directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including insurance coverage, vacation, loans, fringe benefits, severance benefits, disability benefits, deferred compensation, bonuses, stock options, stock purchase, phantom stock, stock appreciation, stock based or other forms of incentive compensation, bonus or post-retirement compensation or benefits (the “Company Benefit Plans”), other than Company Benefit Plans maintained outside of the United States primarily for the benefit of employees working outside of the United States

34

(such plans hereinafter being referred to as “Company Non–U.S. Benefit Plans”), are listed on Section 4.11(a)(1) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Complete and accurate copies of all Company Benefit Plans listed on Section 4.11(a)(1) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and, any trust instruments, insurance contracts and, with respect to any employee stock ownership plan, loan agreements, forming a part of any Company Benefit Plans, and all amendments thereto have been provided or made available to Parent. Section 4.11(a)(2) of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies each employee or other service provider covered by any change in control or retention agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and complete and accurate copies of the forms of each such agreement have been provided or made available to Parent, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any such agreement since December 31, 2004.

(b) All Company Benefit Plans, other than “multiemployer plans” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA (each, a “Multiemployer Plan”) and Company Non–U.S. Benefit Plans (collectively, “Company U.S. Benefit Plans”), are in substantial compliance with ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws. Each Company U.S. Benefit Plan that is subject to ERISA (the “Company ERISA Plans”) that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Company Pension Plan”) and that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) covering all tax Law changes prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or has applied to the IRS for such favorable determination letter within the applicable remedial amendment period under Section 401(b) of the Code, and the Company is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Company ERISA Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, could subject the Company or any Subsidiary to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount which would be material. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred or reasonably expects to incur a material tax or penalty imposed by Section 4980F of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA or any material liability under Section 4071 of ERISA.

(c) None of the Company Pension Plans is (i) subject to Section 302 of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code, or Title IV of ERISA, or (ii) a Multiemployer Plan, nor does the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have any liability, contingent or otherwise, in respect of any employee pension benefit plan described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 4.11(c).

(d) All contributions required to be made under each Company Benefit Plan, as of the date hereof, have been timely made and all obligations in respect of each Company Benefit Plan have been properly accrued and reflected in the Financial Statements. Neither any Company Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within

35

the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and no Company ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. It is not reasonably anticipated that required minimum contributions to any Company Pension Plan under Section 412 of the Code will be materially increased by application of Section 412(l) of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has provided, or is required to provide, security to any Company Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of a Company ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

(e) As of the date hereof, there is no material pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened litigation relating to the Company Benefit Plans. Except for the health benefits that are required to be provided in accordance with Section 4980B of the Code (commonly referred to as “COBRA”), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations for retiree health and life benefits under any Company ERISA Plan or collective bargaining agreement. The Company or its Subsidiaries may amend or terminate any such Company Benefit Plan at any time without incurring any liability thereunder other than in respect of claims incurred prior to such amendment or termination.

(f) There has been no amendment to, announcement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Company Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year. Section 4.11(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and accurate list of all contracts, plans or arrangements obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay severance to any current or former directors, employees, independent contractors or consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for obligations pursuant to, required by or arising under applicable Law. Except pursuant to retention or other agreements set forth on Section 4.11(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution of this Agreement, shareholder approval of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (w) entitle any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment after the date hereof, (x) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result in any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the Company Benefit Plans, (y) limit or restrict the right of the Company or, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent to merge, amend or terminate any of the Company Benefit Plans or (z) result in payments under any of the Company Benefit Plans that would not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(g) Each Company Benefit Plan that is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code has been operated and administered in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code and IRS Notice 2005-1 since January 1, 2005 and the Company and its Subsidiaries are not

36

reasonably expected to have any future tax withholding obligation in respect of Section 409A under any Company Benefit Plan.

(h) All Company Non-U.S. Benefit Plans comply in all material respects with applicable local Law. All Company Non-U.S. Benefit Plans are listed on Section 4.11(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Company and its subsidiaries have no material unfunded liabilities with respect to any such Company Non-U.S. Benefit Plan. As of the date hereof, there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened litigation relating to Company Non-U.S. Benefit Plans that has resulted in, or is reasonably likely to result in, a material expense in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(i) Section 4.11(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of all employees, independent contractors and temporary employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and lists each such Person’s name, title, location, base salary, bonus paid in 2005 and active or part time status.

4.12 Compliance with Laws; Permits. The businesses of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been, and are being, conducted in compliance with all federal, state, local or foreign laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, judgments, orders, injunctions, decrees, arbitration awards, agency requirements, licenses and permits of all Governmental Entities (collectively, “Laws”), except for violations or possible violations that, individually or in the aggregate, (i) have not had, and are not reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) have not resulted, and are not reasonably likely to result in, the imposition of a criminal fine, penalty or sanction against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers.

9.2 Termination by Either Parent or the Company.  This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by action of the board of directors of either Parent or the Company if (i) the Merger shall not have been consummated by May 31, 2006 (the “Termination Date”); or (ii) any Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger shall become final and non-appealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be available to any party that has

9.3 Termination by Parent.  This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by action of the board of directors of Parent if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement, or any such representation or warranty shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement, in either case such that the conditions in Sections 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if such breach is curable by the Company through the exercise of its reasonable best efforts, then for so long as the Company continues to exercise such reasonable best efforts, Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.3 prior to the Termination Date.

ARTICLE X

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION; SHAREHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE

10.1 Survival.  Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of the Closing and the consummation of the Merger.  Each representation, warranty, covenant and obligation shall expire and terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, except for covenants and obligations set forth in Section 7.8 (Indemnification of Officers and

62

Directors) and Articles III (Merger Consideration; Exchange of Shares), X (Survival; Indemnification; Shareholders’ Representative) and XI (Miscellaneous and General); provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any Parent Indemnified Person, acting in good faith, delivers a Claim Notice pursuant to Section 10.5, then the claim asserted in such Claim Notice and the corresponding representation and warranty and/or covenant shall survive the first anniversary of the Closing to the extent and only to the extent of the claims set forth in such Claim Notice until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.  Section 9.5 (Effect of Termination and Abandonment), Article XI (Miscellaneous and General) and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  The right of a Person to any remedy pursuant to this Article X shall not be affected by any investigation or examination conducted, or any knowledge possessed or acquired, by such Person at any time concerning any circumstance, action, omission or event relating to the accuracy or performance of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, or by the waiver of any closing condition contained in this Agreement.

10.2 Indemnification and Reimbursement of the Parent Indemnified Persons.  (a)  Following the Effective Time, the Indemnitors shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse (in each case solely through the deduction of Losses from the First Holdback Payment and/or Final Holdback Payment, as the case may be, in accordance with the definitions thereof) each Parent Indemnified Person for and against each Loss asserted against, or sustained, incurred or accrued directly or indirectly by, such Parent Indemnified Person arising out of:

(i) (A) Any circumstances causing any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the Company in this Agreement not to be true and accurate as of the Closing Date, in the case of any representation or warranty not made as of an earlier date set forth therein, or, in the case of a representation or warranty made as of an earlier date set forth therein, such earlier date, it being understood that in determining whether any such representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement was true and accurate as of the Closing Date or such earlier date, as the case may be, such representation and warranty shall be considered without regard to any reference to any materiality, or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier set forth therein, (B) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of any Shareholder pursuant to the Voting Agreements, and (C) any inaccuracy in the certificate described in Section 8.2(h).

(ii) Any failure to perform any covenant or obligation made or incurred by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or made or incurred by any Shareholder pursuant to the Voting Agreements.

(iii) The grant of options under and the operation of the UK Option Plan including in particular liabilities to account for National Insurance Contributions and/or tax accountable through the UK’s Pay-As-You-Earn system

63

in respect of the grant, exercise, waiver or cancellation of options granted under the UK Option Plan.

(b) The Indemnitors shall not be obligated to indemnify any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or (ii) unless and until the amount of Losses described therein collectively exceeds $2,000,000 (the “Basket Amount”).  In such event, the Indemnitors shall be liable for all such Losses, including the Basket Amount.  The limitation set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph shall not apply to any Losses incurred in connection with any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.3.  The Indemnitors shall not be obligated to make aggregate payments or disbursements in connection with Section 10.2(a) in excess of 10% of the Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Cap Amount”).

10.3 Indemnification and Reimbursement of the Company Indemnified Persons.  (a)  Following the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse each Company Indemnified Person for and against each Loss asserted against, or sustained, incurred or accrued directly or indirectly by, such Company Indemnified Person in connection with or in relation to:

(i) Any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of Parent pursuant to any Parent Document.

(ii) Any failure to perform any covenant or obligation made or incurred by or on behalf of Parent pursuant to any Parent Document, other than the covenants and obligations set forth in Sections 3.2(a) and (b).

(iii) Any failure by Parent to perform the covenants set forth in Section 3.2(a) or (b).

(b) Parent shall not be obligated to indemnify any Company Indemnified Person pursuant to clause (i) of Section 10.3(a) unless and until the amount of Losses described therein collectively exceeds the Basket Amount.  In such event, Parent shall be liable for all such Losses, including the Basket Amount.  Parent shall not be obligated to make aggregate payments pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 10.3(a) in excess of the Cap Amount.

10.4 Time Limitations.  No claim pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 may be first asserted following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

10.5 Notice.  Any Parent Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person seeking indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 (an “Indemnified Person”) shall provide to the Person(s) from which the Indemnified Person is seeking indemnification or reimbursement (the “Indemnifying Person”) a reasonably detailed written notice of any claims that it may have pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 (a “Claim Notice”), and in the event that there be asserted against any Indemnified Person any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Person may be obligated to

64

indemnify or reimburse any Indemnified Person hereunder, other than in respect of Taxes (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall provide to the Indemnifying Person a Claim Notice with respect thereto within thirty (30) calendar days following the Indemnified Person’s receipt of such claim (and no fewer than ten (10) calendar days prior to a scheduled appearance date in a litigated matter).  Each Claim Notice shall contain a reasonable estimate of the Losses (each such estimate, a “Loss Estimate”) against which such Indemnified Person seeks indemnification, to the extent that such an estimate can be made.  The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually prejudiced thereby.

10.6 Third-Party Claims.  With respect to each Third-Party Claim that is the subject of a Claim Notice:

(a) The Indemnifying Person shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel approved by the Indemnified Person (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(b) After the Indemnifying Person duly assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim:

(i) The Indemnified Person shall have the right to, but shall not be obligated to, employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.  The Indemnifying Person shall not be required to reimburse the Indemnified Person for the reasonable fees and disbursements of such separate counsel as incurred, except to the extent that (A) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, such Third-Party Claim include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person, and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (B) the Indemnifying Person authorizes the Indemnified Person in writing to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Person’s expense.

(ii) The Indemnifying Person shall not settle, compromise, admit liability or consent to the entry of judgment in connection with such Third-Party Claim, nor shall it offer to do so, in any such case without the Indemnified Person’s written consent, unless (A) no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person can be made as the result of such action, and (B) the sole relief (if any) provided is monetary damages that are reimbursed in full by the Indemnifying Person.

(iii) The Indemnifying Person shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise, settlement or discharge of the Third-Party Claim effected without its written consent (which consent may not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned).

65

(c) If the Indemnifying Person has not duly assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of the Claim Notice, then (i) the Indemnifying Person shall be bound by any action taken, or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person prior to the assumption of such defense by the Indemnifying Person, and (ii) to the extent that such Third-Party Claim is subject to indemnification or reimbursement under Section 10.2 or 10.3, all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in defending the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable legal, accounting and other professional fees and disbursements and expenses of investigation, preparation and defense) shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Person as incurred.  If the Indemnifying Person has not duly assumed the defense of the Third-Party Claim within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Person shall thereafter have no right to assume or control such defense.

(d) The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall keep each other fully informed concerning the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof, and shall render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and shall cooperate with each other in good faith in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third-Party Claim.  All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Person as incurred.

(e) The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and other representatives of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

(f) Each party hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Third-Party Claim is brought for purposes of any claim for indemnification or reimbursement with respect to such Third-Party Claim or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on such Party with respect to any such claim anywhere in the world.

10.7 Resolution of Claims.  (a) In the event that any Indemnifying Person objects to the amount of any Loss claimed in any Claim Notice or disputes the Indemnifying Person’s liability therefor, the Indemnifying Person shall, prior to twenty (20) calendar days following the Indemnifying Person’s receipt of such Claim Notice (the “Response Date”), deliver to the Indemnified Person a written notice (a “Response Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail each amount set forth in such Claim Notice to which the Indemnifying Person objects and the nature and basis for each such objection.  If the Indemnified Person shall not have received a Response Notice prior to the Response Date, the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall be deemed to have agreed to the Claim Notice and to have acknowledged the correctness of the

66

amounts claimed therein and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor.  If the Indemnified Person shall have received a Response Notice prior to the Response Date, the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall negotiate in good faith concerning the related Claim Notice and the amounts claimed and other matters set forth therein until such Claim Notice, amounts and matters shall have been finally determined.  A Claim Notice, any amounts claimed therein and any other matters set forth therein shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Agreement when such Claim Notice, amounts and matters have been resolved (i) by a written agreement of the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person, or (ii) by order of a court having jurisdiction.

(b) To the extent permitted by Law, any reduction to the First Holdback Payment and/or Final Holdback Payment, as the case may be, shall be treated on the parties’ Tax Returns as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

10.8 Sole Remedy.  Following the Closing, the indemnification rights provided in this Article X shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy and the sole basis for and means of recourse among the Parent Indemnified Persons and the Company Indemnified Persons with respect to any Losses of any kind or nature (other than Losses caused by fraud, it being understood that the rights and remedies of the Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to fraud shall not be limited by this Agreement) arising out of or in connection with any breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in any Company Document.  The sole and exclusive means that the Parent Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to obtain payment with respect to the indemnification rights provided for in this Article X shall be through the deduction of Losses from the First Holdback Payment and/or Final Holdback Payment, as the case may be, in accordance with the definitions thereof.  No breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be deemed to be waived by reason of any party’s consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with knowledge of such breach.

10.9 Shareholders’ Representative.  (a)  Each Indemnitor, by virtue of its receipt of any Initial Per Share Payment or Initial Option Payment, as applicable, shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to the appointment, effective as of the Closing Date, of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as the Shareholders’ Representative for purposes of this Agreement, as attorneys-in-fact for such Indemnitor, with full power of substitution and authority to (i) execute any amendment or waiver of this Agreement and any other document or instrument necessary or advisable in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) to give and receive notices and communications, (iii) to dispute any claim for indemnification hereunder, (iv) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and to comply with Orders with respect to, any dispute or Loss, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Shareholders’ Representative shall not have the power or authority to execute an

67

amendment, waiver, document or other instrument that, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, increases in any material respect the obligations or liabilities of any Indemnitor without the prior written consent of such Indemnitor.  ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby consents and agrees to such appointment pursuant to this Section 10.9.  The Shareholders’ Representative shall be provided reasonable access to information regarding the Company and the Surviving Corporation for the purpose of performing its duties hereunder; provided, however that the Shareholders’ Representative shall treat confidentially any non-public information.

(b) In all matters relating to this Article X, the Shareholders’ Representative shall be the only party entitled to assert the rights of the Company Indemnified Persons.  The Indemnitors shall be bound by all actions taken by the Shareholders’ Representative in his or her capacity as such, except for any action that conflicts with the limitations set forth in clause (d) of this Section 10.9.  Parent is authorized to rely conclusively on any such action of the Shareholders’ Representative as being the duly authorized action of the Indemnitors and no party shall have any cause of action against Parent for any action taken by Parent in reliance upon the instructions, decisions or actions of the Shareholders’ Representative.  The Parent Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations, decisions and actions of the Shareholders’ Representative.

(c) The Shareholders’ Representative shall promptly provide written notice to the Indemnitors of any action taken on their behalf by the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to the authority delegated to the Shareholders’ Representative under this Section 10.9.  The Shareholders’ Representative shall at all times act in his or her capacity as Shareholders’ Representative in a manner that the Shareholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interests of the Indemnitors.  Neither the Shareholders’ Representative, nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, if any, shall be liable to any Person for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken, under this Agreement, except in the case of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  The Shareholders’ Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by him or her and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by him or her in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.  The Shareholders’ Representative shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.  As to any matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative shall not exercise any discretion or take any action.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Shareholders’ Representative is not authorized to, and shall not, accept on behalf of any Shareholder any consideration to which such Indemnitor is entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the Shareholders’ Representative shall not in any manner exercise, or seek to exercise, any voting power whatsoever with respect to securities of the Company now or

68

hereafter owned of record or beneficially by any Indemnitor unless the Shareholders’ Representative is expressly authorized to do so in a writing signed by such Indemnitor.

11.6 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including any exhibits hereto), the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement and any written agreement executed by the Company and Parent specifically referring to this Section 11.6 constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

11.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in Section 3.2 and Section 7.8 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors), this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable rights or remedies hereunder.

11.8 Obligations of Parent and of the Company.  Whenever this Agreement requires MergerSub to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause MergerSub to take such action.  Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

11.9 Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability or the other provisions hereof.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

11.10 Assignment.  This Agreement shall not be assignable by operation of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that (i) Parent may assign this Agreement to any of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Parent of its liabilities hereunder, and (ii) Parent may designate, by written notice to the Company, another direct or indirect Subsidiary to be a party to the Merger in lieu of MergerSub, in which event all references herein to MergerSub shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties made herein with respect to MergerSub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed

71

representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation.

11.11 Further Assurances.  Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fulfill and cause to be fulfilled the conditions to Closing under this Agreement.  Each party hereto, at the reasonable request of another party hereto, shall execute and deliver, or cause to be delivered, such further certificates, instruments and other documents, and to take, or cause to be taken, such further actions as may be necessary or desirable for effecting the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.12 Specific Performance.  The parties hereto acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the subject matter hereof, the parties hereto would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages if this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific enforcement of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which the parties hereto may be entitled at law or in equity.

11.13 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to each other party.  Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy, telefax or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes of this Section, provided that receipt of copies of such counterparts is confirmed.
