(ii) Within a reasonable period prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide to the Paying Agent a form of letter of transmittal in a customary form mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall, among other things, specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates and Warrants shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates and/or Warrants to the Paying Agent, and instructions for surrendering such Certificates and/or Warrants and receiving the Applicable Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, Per Share Escrow Consideration or Warrant Per Share Merger Consideration, as applicable, in respect thereof. The Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail on or prior to the Effective Time, or as soon thereafter as is practicable but not later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time, the Letter of Transmittal to each Shareholder and Warrant Holder. In accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement, upon the surrender of each such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay, as promptly as practicable, to the holder of such Certificate an aggregate amount equal to (i) the Applicable Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, in consideration therefor, and such Certificate shall forthwith be cancelled. In accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement, upon the surrender of each such Warrant, the Paying Agent shall pay, as promptly as practicable, to the holder of such Warrant an aggregate amount equal to (i) the Warrant Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares formerly represented by such Warrant, in consideration therefor, and such Warrant shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate (other than Certificates representing Company Stock held by the Company or held in the treasury of the Company) and each such Warrant shall represent solely the right to

- 17 -

receive the Applicable Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, Per Share Escrow Consideration or Warrant Per Share Merger Consideration, as applicable, multiplied by the number of shares of Company Stock represented thereby. No interest or dividends shall be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration.

(iii) In the event that any Certificate or Warrant shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact and delivering an indemnity agreement by the Person claiming such Certificate or Warrant to be lost, stolen or destroyed, in such substance and form as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably direct, to the Parent and the Paying Agent with respect to such Certificate or Warrant, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate or Warrant the portion of the Applicable Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, the Per Share Escrow Consideration or Warrant Per Share Merger Consideration, as applicable, with respect to such Certificate to which such Person is entitled pursuant to this Article 3.

All Dissenting Shares held by Shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their dissenters’ rights shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid with respect thereto, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Sections 3.3(a) and (b), of the Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the GCL received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to direct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the GCL. The Company may participate in such negotiations or proceedings but shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal and shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, settle or offer to settle any such demands.

(e) Certificates and Warrants. In the event this Agreement is terminated without the occurrence of the Effective Time, the Parent shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent to, return promptly, but, in any event, within three (3) Business Days after such termination, any Certificates or Warrants theretofore submitted or delivered to the Paying Agent, without charge to the Person who submitted such Certificate or Warrant.

(f) Escheatment of Funds. None of the Parties nor any other Person shall be liable to any former Shareholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. All funds held by the Paying Agent for payment to the holders of unsurrendered Certificates or Warrants and unclaimed two years after the Effective Date shall be returned to the Parent, after which time any holder of unsurrendered Certificates or Warrants shall look as a general creditor only to the Parent for payment of the funds to which the holder of unsurrendered Certificates or Warrants may be due, subject to applicable Laws. Any such amounts remaining unclaimed by any Shareholder or Warrant Holder immediately prior to such time when such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, become the property of the Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Upon receipt of the Estimated Closing Date Net Cash Statement, Parent shall be given reasonable access to all of the Company’s books and records relating to such statement.

(c) Preparation and Review of Closing Date Net Cash Statement. As promptly as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Parent: (i) reconciled bank statements indicating the cash balances of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing excluding all proceeds from the exercise of any options; (ii) a statement of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of immediately prior to the Closing; and (iii) invoices for all paid and unpaid Transaction Related Expenses (collectively, the “Closing Date Net Cash Statement”). The Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of immediately prior to Closing shall be subtracted from the cash balance shown in the Company’s reconciled bank statements as of the Closing Date to determine the Closing Date Net Cash of the Company, subject to the review process provided below in the further provisions of this Section 3.4.

(d) Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Company’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Cash and the Post-Closing Adjustment, if any (the “Review Period”), Parent shall propose to the Shareholders’ Representative such adjustments (if any) therein as shall in Parent’s judgment be required. Unless Parent notifies the Shareholders’ Representative in writing within such Review Period of an objection to the Company’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Cash and the Post-Closing Adjustment, if any, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, the Company’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Cash and the Post-Closing Adjustment, if any, shall be binding on the parties hereto. Any portion or amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment that is not so disputed shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after the termination of the Review Period by the Escrow Agent, on behalf of Parent, to the Shareholders, or by the Escrow Agent, on behalf of the Shareholders, jointly and severally, to the Parent, as applicable pursuant to this Section 3.4.

(e) Dispute Resolution. Any dispute concerning any portion or amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment which cannot be resolved by the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent within fifteen (15) days of the Shareholders’ Representative’s receipt of

- 20 -

Parent’s written objection will be submitted no later than fifteen (15) days after the termination of the Review Period for determination to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Arbiter”) for resolution of the disputed items and determination of the Closing Date Net Cash and Post-Closing Adjustment.

If the parties are unable to agree upon procedures within the time prescribed for referral of the dispute to the Arbiter, the Arbiter shall establish such procedures giving due regard to the intention of the parties to resolve disputes as quickly, efficiently and inexpensively as possible, which procedures may, but need not, be those proposed by either Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative. Parent, Shareholders’ Representative and their respective representatives will each furnish to the Arbiter such work papers, schedules and other documents relating to the unresolved disputed issues as the Arbiter may request. The Arbiter shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed issues with respect to the Closing Date Net Cash and Post-Closing Adjustment as promptly as practicable, and to resolve only those issues in dispute. The determination by the Arbiter shall be based solely on presentations by Parent, on the one hand, and the Shareholders’ Representative, on the other hand, and shall not involve independent review. Any determination by the Arbiter shall not be outside the range defined by the respective amounts of the Closing Date Net Cash and the Post-Closing Adjustment proposed by the Company and Parent’s proposed adjustments thereto, and such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each of Parent on the one hand, and the Shareholders, on the other hand, shall bear that percentage of the fees and expenses of the Arbiter equal to the proportion of the dollar value of the unresolved disputed issues determined in favor of the other party. Fees and expenses of the Arbiter, if any, on behalf of the Shareholders shall be paid by the Representative.

(f) If the Closing Date Net Cash as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 as compared to the amount calculated in the Estimated Closing Date Net Cash Statement indicates (i) an additional reduction in the Purchase Price is required from that made pursuant to Section 3.2(c), then the difference shall be paid from the Escrow Funds to Parent, or (ii) a lesser reduction in the Purchase Price is required from that made pursuant to Section 3.2(c), then Parent shall deposit in the Escrow Funds the amount necessary to reflect the excess reduction previously effected under Section 3.2(c). In addition, any Transaction Related Expenses finally determined not to have been included in the Payoff Amount shall be paid to Parent from the Escrow Funds.

(g) Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days following the termination of the Review Period, if no written objection to the Company’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Cash and the Post-Closing Adjustment, if any, has been delivered by Parent, the acceptance by the Shareholders’ Representative of Parent’s proposed adjustments thereto, or resolution by the Arbiter of any Post-Closing Adjustment disputes pursuant to subsection (e) above, the payments set forth in subsection (f) above shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 3.5 Treatment of Options.

(a) Each of Parent and the Company shall take all necessary action to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, the Company Option Plan and all unvested Company Options (as defined below) issued thereunder are assumed by Parent. Each option to purchase Company Shares (each, a “Company Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised pursuant to the Company Option Plan in effect on the date hereof and which is unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become and represent an option to purchase (a “Replacement Stock Option”) a number of shares of Parent common stock (the “Parent Shares”) equal to the number of Company Shares covered by such Company Option, divided by a ratio (the “Ratio”) equal to (i) the average closing price of the Parent’s common stock, based upon the closing price for each of the twenty (20) trading days up to and including the trading day ending two (2) days prior to the Closing Date divided by (ii) the Common Per Share Merger Consideration and with an exercise price per Parent Share equal to the exercise price for such Company Option multiplied by the Ratio. It is the intent of the Parties that (A) the Replacement Stock Options shall qualify following the Effective Time as “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent that the related Company Options qualified as incentive stock options immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) each Replacement Stock Option will have an economic value equivalent to the Company Option it replaces, such that each Replacement Stock Option will not be subject to Section 409A of the Code, and (C) the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall be applied consistent with the foregoing intents. After the Effective Time, except as provided above in this Section 3.5, each Replacement Stock Option shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the related Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time but only with accelerated vesting as a result of Termination After Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Company Option which such Replacement Stock Option replaces). The Company agrees that, after the date of this Agreement, it will not grant any stock appreciation rights or stock options and will not permit cash payments to holders of Company Options in lieu of the substitution therefor of Replacement Stock Options, as described in this Section 3.5. Parent will reserve a sufficient number of Parent Shares for issuance under this Section 3.5.

(b) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the Effective Time a registration statement on an appropriate form or a post-effective amendment to a previously filed registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to Parent Shares subject to Replacement Stock Options issued pursuant to this Section 3.5, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the current status of the prospectus contained therein, as well as comply with any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, for so long as such options remain outstanding.

(c) The Company shall take such actions as are necessary to ensure that, and shall obtain and deliver to Parent on or prior to the Closing an irrevocable written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent (an “Option Cancellation Agreement”), from each Vested Option Holder providing that, as of the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent or Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of such Vested Company Option, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, in lieu

- 22 -

of the Company Shares otherwise acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such Vested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, an aggregate amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Vested Option Merger Consideration, subject to withholding Taxes payable in part at Closing and in part from the Escrow Funds. From and after the Effective Time, the Vested Company Options, as so converted in accordance with this Section 3.5(c), shall represent solely the right to receive the Vested Option Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, and shall not be exercisable for the purchase of Company Shares or any Parent Shares.

Section 3.6 Treatment of Warrants. The Company shall take such actions as are necessary to ensure that, and shall obtain and deliver to Parent on or prior to the Closing an irrevocable written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, from each Warrant Holder providing that, as of the Effective Time, each Warrant, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent or Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of such Warrant, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, in lieu of the Company Shares otherwise acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, an aggregate amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Warrant Merger Consideration. From and after the Effective Time, the Warrants, as so converted in accordance with this Section 3.6, shall represent solely the right to receive the Warrant Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, and shall not be exercisable for the purchase of Company Shares or any Parent Shares.

Section 4.4 Capitalization. Schedule 4.4 sets forth (i) the entire authorized capital stock and the total number of issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Company and any Subsidiary thereof, (ii) any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other voting, purchase or sale rights in or to such shares of capital stock, and (iii) any options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchangeable into such shares of capital stock, including the names of the holders thereof, and the respective exercise price and amounts of vested and unvested securities as of the date hereof and the vesting dates for any unvested securities, if any, applicable thereto. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and any Subsidiary thereof have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary are subject to, nor have been issued in violation of preemptive or similar rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.4, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary thereof has any outstanding stock other than the Company Shares, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock or containing profit participation features, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary thereof has any outstanding options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or to purchase its capital stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock.

All issuances, sales and repurchases by the Company and any Subsidiary thereof of its respective capital stock have been effected in compliance with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, applicable federal and state securities laws.

Section 4.5 Financial Statements. Schedule 4.5 contains the following financial statements of the Company (collectively, the “Financial Statements”):

(a) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended together with a true and correct copy of the report on such audited information for 2003 and 2004 by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, and for 2005 by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and all letters from such accountants with respect to the results of such audits;

- 25 -

(b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2006 (the “Latest Balance Sheet Date”), and the unaudited related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the portion of the Company’s fiscal year then ended (collectively, the “Interim Financial Statements”).

The Financial Statements are consistent with the Books and Records (which, in turn, accurately and fairly reflect in all material respects all the transactions of, acquisitions and dispositions of assets by, and incurrence of liabilities by, the Company and its Subsidiaries) and fairly present the financial condition, assets and liabilities of the Company, taken as a whole, as of their respective dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods related thereto in accordance with GAAP, except that the Interim Financial Statements lack the footnote disclosure and are subject to normal year end adjustments otherwise required by GAAP, which will not be material individually or in the aggregate. Since December 31, 2005 there has been no change in the Company’s reserve on accrual amounts or policies. The reserves reflected in the Financial Statements are adequate, appropriate and reasonable and have been calculated in a consistent manner.

Section 4.6 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, none of the Company nor any Subsidiary thereof has any Liabilities, whether due or to become due, arising out of transactions entered into on or prior to the date hereof, or any transaction, series of transactions, action or inaction occurring on or prior to the date hereof, or any state of facts or condition existing on or prior to the date hereof (regardless of when such liability or obligation is asserted), including, without limitation, Liabilities on account of Taxes or Employee Benefit Plans, or in respect thereof, except as reflected and accrued for or reserved against in, the Interim Financial Statements or incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the date of the Interim Financial Statement (none of which is a Liability for breach of contract, breach of warranty, product liability, tort or infringement, or a claim or lawsuit, or an environmental liability). If the Closing Date Net Cash were determined as of December 31, 2006, such amount would be equal to negative Five Hundred Sixty Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty dollars (-$560,760).

Except as described on Schedule 4.17(g), with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan of the Company required to be disclosed on Schedule 4.17(g), the Company has reserved the right to terminate each such Employee Benefit Plan with respect to future coverage without further liability to the Company or any Company Plan Affiliate, other than the expenses typically associated with plan termination.

No event has occurred with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan of the Company which has or could result in the imposition of a lien under Code Section 412 or Section 302 of ERISA, nor has any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) (except for payment of premiums) been incurred or reportable event within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA occurred with respect to any such plan.

(i) With respect to all periods prior to the Closing, the requirements of COBRA (or any similar applicable state law) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”), have been satisfied in all material respects with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan of the Company.

Schedule 4.17(m) sets forth a reasonable estimate of the required contributions and the ongoing under-funding of the Employee Benefits Plans of the Company which are subject to Title IV of ERISA after the Closing Date for the next three (3) years using currently applicable methods, factors and assumptions permissible under Section 412 of the Code.

(n) Each Employee Benefit Plan of the Company which is a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) (i) has, at all times since January 1, 2005, been administered in material compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance issued thereunder, and (ii) either (A) is in a form which complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or (B) has been operated in good faith, in accordance with guidance issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code; in all cases so that the additional tax described in Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code could not reasonably be expected to be assessed against the individuals participating in any such non-qualified deferred compensation plan with respect to benefits due or accruing thereunder.

(o) All contributions and premium payments (including all employer contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) that are due have been made within the time periods prescribed by ERISA and the Code to each Employee Benefit Plan of the Company, and all contributions and premium payments for any period ending on or before the Closing Date that are not yet due have been made to each Employee Benefit Plan of the Company or accrued in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Companies.

(a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty under Article 4 of this Agreement, or any misrepresentation or breach of, or omission from, any of the representations, warranties, statements, Schedules and Exhibits or certificates furnished to Parent by the Company made in or pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that for purposes of determining a misrepresentation or breach of, or omission from, a representation or warranty for purposes of indemnification under this Article 10, the representations and warranties in Article 4 shall be construed as if they were not qualified by the terms “material” or “materiality;”

(f) any Taxes attributable to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof for any period prior to and including the Closing Date, and Taxes due from the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, or with respect to the assets thereof, applicable to or arising from any period prior to and including the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, any Taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date; or

The rights of the Parent Indemnified Parties to indemnification under Section 10.1(f) and (g) shall apply notwithstanding that the matter in question may be disclosed in a Schedule to this Agreement or in any Transaction Document or may be otherwise known by Parent or any of its Affiliates, or may be the subject of, excluded from or beyond the scope of any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement.

Section 10.2 Additional Indemnification by the Shareholders. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, by virtue of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, from and after the Effective Time each of the Shareholders shall be deemed to have agreed, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, defend and save the Parent Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, and shall pay to a Parent Indemnified Party or reimburse a Parent Indemnified Party for, any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Parent Indemnified Party relating to, resulting from, arising out of or otherwise by virtue of (a) such Shareholder failing to be the sole record and beneficial owner of the Company Shares, Company Options and/or Warrants shown as owned by such Shareholder on Schedule 4.4, free and clear of all Liens or other restriction; (b) any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, options or other voting, purchase or sale rights in or to such Shareholder’s Company Shares; (c) failure to obtain any Consent required for the transfer of such Shareholder’s Company Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or which is required for the consummation by such

- 70 -

Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (d) any breach of a Fundamental Representation; provided, however, that each Shareholder’s liability under this Section 10.2 shall (i) be limited to the aggregate portion of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Shareholder, and (ii) expire on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Effective Time.

Section 10.3 Indemnification by Parent. Parent, on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, hereby agrees to indemnify the Shareholders and their respective Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, partners employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties as and when incurred for any and all Losses which any Seller Indemnified Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, in connection with, incident to, resulting from or arising out of or in any way relating to or by virtue of:

Section 10.4 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, any person or entity entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including, but not limited to any Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party, against which a party to this Agreement is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice together with a statement of any available information (other than privileged information) regarding such claim to the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days after learning of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (the “Defense Notice”) within twenty days (20) after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such claim, which notice by the Indemnifying Party shall specify the counsel it will appoint to defend such claim (“Defense Counsel”), to conduct at its expense the defense against such claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the Defense Counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

- 71 -

(a) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice within said 20-day period, it shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject claim, and in such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense in good faith and to compromise and settle the claim in good faith without prior consent of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs, expenses, settlement amounts or other Losses paid or incurred in connection therewith.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the subject claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have the exclusive control over said defense settlement of the subject claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which may be withheld for any reason or no reason, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim or cease to defend against such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, (i) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) such settlement or cessation would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 10.4(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, (ii) that involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (iii) that if unsuccessful, would set a precedent that would materially interfere with, or have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party, (iv) that is related to any Tax matter, or (v) that imposes liability on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will still have all of its obligations hereunder provided that the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Any final judgment entered or settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein shall be binding upon the Indemnifying Party, and shall conclusively be deemed to be an obligation with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to prompt indemnification hereunder.

- 72 -

(f) A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section 10.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice.

Section 10.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. In the event an Indemnified Party should have a claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Direct Indemnification Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Direct Claim, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to such Direct Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify (the “Direct Indemnification Defense Notice”) the Indemnified Party in writing within twenty (20) days from its receipt of the Direct Indemnification Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Direct Claim, the Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Direct Indemnification Notice shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed such Direct Claim, as provided above, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation as provided in Sections 11.9 and 11.10 hereof.

Section 10.6 Certain Limitations on Remedies.

(a) All representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise in connection herewith shall survive the Closing hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter until the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, except the warranties and representations contained in (i) Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.7(a) shall survive indefinitely, (ii) Sections 4.17 and 4.19 shall survive until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iii) Section 4.22 shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (including any amendments extending said statutes). Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement or in a Transaction Document (in which event such specified period will control), all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and in any Transaction Documents will survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, indemnification for any claim for which written notice as provided in this Article 10 has been timely given prior to the expiration of the representation and warranty upon which such claim is based as provided herein shall not expire, and such claim for indemnification may be pursued, until the final resolution of such claim in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (but subject to the terms of this Section 10.6(b)), the Shareholders shall not be liable to the Parent Indemnified Parties under Section 10.1(a) other than as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of, or omission from, any representation or warranty contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.7(a), 4.17, 4.19 and 4.22, unless and until the Losses incurred by all Parent Indemnified Parties, in the aggregate, as a result thereof exceed, in

- 73 -

the aggregate, $250,000 (the “Threshold Amount”); provided, however, that in the event that such Losses exceed the Threshold Amount, the Shareholders shall fully indemnify the applicable Parent Indemnified Party for all Losses incurred by such Parent Indemnified Party subject to indemnification obligations of the Shareholders pursuant to Section 10.1(a) (other than as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of, or omission from, any representation or warranty contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.7(a), 4.17, 4.19 and 4.22), in excess of the $250,000 applied to the Threshold Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Threshold Amount shall not apply to Losses in connection with indemnification under Sections 10.1(f) and (g) or relating to the representations in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.7(a), 4.17, 4.19 or 4.22, or any payment required to be made by the Shareholders under Section 3.4 or claims relating thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (but subject to the terms of this Section 10.6(c)), the Shareholders shall not be liable to the Parent Indemnified Parties under Section 10.1 to the extent the amount of Losses to be paid to the Parent Indemnified Parties, in the aggregate, pursuant to Section 10.1 exceeds $13,600,000 in the aggregate (the “Cap Amount”).

(d) The parties agree that the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall serve as the sole and exclusive source of funding for any indemnification obligations of the Shareholders under this Article 10 (other than Section 10.2), and any indemnity payment due to the Parent under this Article 10 (other than Section 10.2) shall be made solely from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The parties agree that, in accordance with Section 3.3(b) hereof, any amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund upon satisfaction of all claims for indemnification pending and the final termination of the Escrow Agreement shall be paid to the Shareholders as Merger Consideration in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Section 10.7 Special Rule for Fraud and Intentional Misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 10 to the contrary, in the event of any breach of a representation or warranty by any party hereto that involves fraud or an intentional misrepresentation, the representation or warranty that has been breached will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (regardless of any investigation made by any other party or on its behalf) and will continue in full force and effect for the period of the applicable statute of limitations; and the limitations set forth in Section 10.6 shall not apply to any Losses that any Parent Indemnified Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, any such breach that involves fraud or intentional misrepresentation. The Shareholders shall be severally and not jointly liable for any such Losses as a result of, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, any such breach that involves fraud or intentional misrepresentation; provided, however, that each Shareholder’s liability under this Section 10.7 for any such breach that involves fraud or intentional misrepresentation other than by such Shareholder shall (i) be limited to the aggregate portion of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Shareholder, and (ii) expire on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Effective Time.

Section 11.3 No Third Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Article 10. Nothing contained in Section 7.3 of this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it result in, an amendment to any Employee Benefit Plan of the Company.

Section 11.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining

- 77 -

provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 11.5 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, nor any provision waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto. Additionally, this Agreement may be amended at any time prior to the Effective Time by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, provided however such amendment must be made in compliance with Section 1104 of the GCL.

Section 11.6 Further Assurances. Each party will execute all documents and take such other actions as any other party may reasonably request in order to consummate the transactions provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one (1) and the same Agreement, binding on the parties hereto. The signature of any party hereto to any counterpart hereof shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart hereof. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any Agreement hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a ”.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or ”.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a ”.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any Agreement hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a ”.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

Section 11.8 Expenses. Each of the parties hereto shall pay all costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by it in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that any Transaction Related Expenses shall be paid as provided herein.

Section 11.9 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws. The parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the County of Santa ▇▇▇▇▇, State of California over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and further agree that venue for all such matters shall lie exclusively in those courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have, including, but not limited to, any claim of forum non conveniens, to venue in the courts located in Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County, California. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

The parties hereto each agree that any and all such claims and causes of action shall be tried by the court without a jury. Each of the parties hereto further waives any right to seek to consolidate any such legal proceeding in which a jury trial has been waived with any other legal proceeding in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived.

Section 11.11 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that irreparable damage would result if this Agreement and the Transaction Documents were not specifically enforced, and they therefore consent that the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents may be enforced by a decree of specific performance issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such remedy shall, however, not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

Section 11.17 Publicity. The parties agree that they shall not issue any announcement or press release relating, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated hereby unless such announcement or release is mutually agreed to by the Parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may release such information that is required of it pursuant to any Law; provided that such releasing Party (prior to such release) immediately informs the other Parties hereto regarding the requirement and content of such release.

The mere listing of a document or any item on a Schedule shall not, in any event, be adequate to disclose any breach, default or claims under any such document or item unless such breach, default or claim is expressly disclosed.
