1.2 Cancellation of Company Options.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the administrator of the Company Stock Plan shall have resolved under Section 6.2 of the Company Stock Plan (and each individual option agreement issued pursuant to the Company Stock Plan) to determine that the Company Options shall terminate at the Effective Time of the Short-Form Merger. Other than as set forth in this Section 1.2, the Company represents and warrants that it has not made any modifications to the Company Stock Plan or delivered any communications to the Optionholders with respect to any modification of their options arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Upon receipt from each Optionholder of an executed Option Cancellation Agreement, Parent shall pay to each such Optionholder an amount (in cash) of the Total Consideration, less all applicable tax withholding, equal to (A) (i) the amount such Optionholder would have received under this Agreement had such Optionholder exercised his, her or its vested Company Options and sold the Company Common Stock issuable upon such exercise to Parent at the Closing, minus (ii) the aggregate exercise price for the Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Options, plus (B) such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, as and when distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with Article VIII (the collective amount of (A) and (B) shall be referred to herein as the “Optionholder Consideration”).

-3-

provisions of Utah Law, each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall, and shall cause the Company to, take all necessary and appropriate action, including the delivery of any required notice to stockholders of the Company, to effectuate the Short-Form Merger as follows:

(i) At the Effective Time (as defined below), Acquisition Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, at which time the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Short-Form Merger”).

(ii) The Short-Form Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of the State of Utah, which Articles of Merger shall be filed as soon as practicable after the expiration of the notice period set forth in Section 16-10a-1104 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the “Effective Time”).

(iii) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Short-Form Merger and without any action on the part of Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of Company Capital Stock, each share of Company Capital Stock, except any Dissenting Shares, held by the Minority Stockholders issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Effective Time will be canceled and extinguished and will be converted automatically into the right to receive (upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Company Capital Stock) an amount (in cash) of the Total Consideration (A) as set forth opposite each Minority Stockholder’s name on the Consideration Allocation and Mechanics Schedule, plus (B) such Minority Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, as and when distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with Article VIII (the collective amount of (A) and (B) shall be referred to herein as the “Minority Stockholder Consideration”).

(iv) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Short-Form Merger and without any action on the part of Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of Company Capital Stock, each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Acquisition Sub will be canceled and extinguished and each share of Company Capital Stock held by Parent shall remain outstanding.

(v) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Short-Form Merger and without any action on the part of Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of Company Capital Stock, each share of capital stock of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of capital stock of the Company. Each stock certificate of Acquisition Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of shares of capital stock in the Company.

(vi) The exchange procedures for the Short-Form Merger are set forth in Section 1.4 below.

-4-

(vii) Subject to Section 6.6 below, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and as it exists immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company immediately after the Effective Time.

(viii) The officers and directors of Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers and directors of the Company immediately after the Effective Time, in accordance with the provisions of Utah Law, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.3(a) hereof, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by Utah Law.

(c) If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under Utah Law, then, as of the later of the effective time of the Short-Form Merger and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.3(a) hereof (as if not a Dissenting Share), without interest thereon, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.4 hereof, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be entitled to recover under the terms of Article VIII hereof the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments without regard to the Deductible.

1.4 Exchange Procedures for Short-Form Merger and Payment of Optionholder Consideration.

(a) Exchange Agent.

-5-

(c) Exchange Procedures.

(i) The Parent acknowledges and agrees that promptly following the Closing of the Short-Form Merger, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Minority Stockholder who is a holder of record (as of the effective time of the Short-Form Merger) of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Minority Stockholder Consideration pursuant to Section 1.3, (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in substantially the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit G. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the Minority Stockholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the cash constituting the Minority Stockholder Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled as of the Effective Time. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the ownership of the Minority Stockholder Consideration into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been so converted.

(d) Payment for the Company Options shall be made by wire transfer upon receipt of the Option Cancellation Agreement of immediately available funds to accounts specified by the Optionholder therein, subject to all applicable tax withholding requirements.

(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.4(e), neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent on a daily basis; provided if any such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to the Minority Stockholders or the Optionholders pursuant to this Article I, Parent shall immediately pay in cash the full amount of such shortfall. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable to Minority Stockholders or the Optionholders pursuant to this Article I shall promptly be paid to Parent.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the Minority Stockholders nine months after the Effective Time shall, at the request of the Surviving Corporation, be delivered to the Surviving Corporation or otherwise according to the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of the Certificates who have not surrendered such Certificates in compliance with this Section 1.4(g) shall after such delivery to the Surviving Corporation, subject to Section 1.4(e), look only to the Surviving Corporation solely as general creditors for the cash constituting the Minority Stockholder

-6-

Consideration (which shall not accrue interest) pursuant to Section 1.3 with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby.

1.5 Required Withholding

Each of the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Minority Stockholder or Optionholder such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Tax Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, the amount of such consideration shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

1.6 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock

All Minority Stockholder Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights and obligations pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.7 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates

In the event any Minority Stockholder Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such cash constituting the Minority Stockholder Consideration; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Company or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph, there shall be no right to indemnification under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) unless and until one or more Officer’s Certificates identifying such Losses incurred by Parent Indemnified Parties or the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, as applicable, under either Section 8.2(a), with respect to the Parent Indemnified Parties, or Section 8.2(b), with respect to the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, respectively, exceed $800,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”), in which case the Parent Indemnified Parties or the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, shall be entitled to recover all Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount (subject to any other limitations set forth in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to any other limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to

-41-

indemnification on a first dollar basis, without regard to whether the Deductible Amount shall have been exceeded, for any and all Losses resulting from (i) fraud by the Company or the Principal Stockholders (in the case of the Parent Indemnified Parties) or by Parent or Acquisition Sub (in the case of the Stockholder Indemnified Parties), (ii) any of the Specified Indemnity Items (in the case of the Parent Indemnified Parties), (iii) Pre-Closing Income Taxes (in the case of the Parent Indemnified Parties), (iv) any Excess Third Party Expenses (in the case of the Parent Indemnified Parties), (iv) any Dissenting Share Payments (in the case of the Parent Indemnified Parties) and (v) Stock Option Cancellation Amount (in the case of the Parent Indemnified Parties).

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of fraud by the Company, any of the Principal Stockholders or any such Person, (i) the recovery by Parent Indemnified Parties is not limited to Losses as defined in this Agreement and (ii) the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to pursue any remedy or theory of law with respect to such fraud to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law or in equity.

(f) Tax Benefits. The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(c) shall be calculated net of (i) any tax benefit actually received by the Parent Indemnified Party on account of such Loss and (ii) any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Parent Indemnified Party from any third party with respect thereto. For purposes of this Section 8.2(f), the Parent Indemnified Party shall have actually received a tax benefit if, and to the extent that, the Parent Indemnified Party’s (and its affiliates) actual liability for Taxes for the taxable year in which the Loss is incurred, calculated by excluding any Tax items (including the receipt of any indemnification payments) attributable to the Loss, exceeds the Parent Indemnified Party’s (and its affiliates) actual liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items (including the receipt of any indemnification payments) attributable to the amount of the Loss for such taxable year (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law and treating such Tax items as the last items incurred or paid for any Taxable year). Parent shall have no right to assert any claims against the Principal Stockholders with respect to any Losses that would have been covered by insurance had the Company maintained for the benefit of the Company the same insurance coverage following the Closing that was in effect for the Company immediately prior to the Closing. Any Parent Indemnified Party shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is actually made by any Parent Indemnified Party with respect to any

-42-

Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders).

(g) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 8.2(a) shall be calculated net of any amounts specifically accrued or reserved for in the Closing Date Balance Sheet (including, without limitation, utilizing any net operating losses or other similar items of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (in each case in existence on or prior to the Closing Date and reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet) to reduce obligations with respect to Pre-Closing Income Taxes under Section 8.2(a) owed with respect to a taxable year to which such net operating losses or similar items may be carried and deducted or credited against income after taking into account the requirements of Section 382 of the Code and any similar limitations, provided, however, that the items included on Schedule 8.2 to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet for this purpose). Any amounts recovered for a Loss or claim under any clause contained in Section 8.2(a) shall reduce amounts that may be subsequently recovered under another clause in Section 8.2(a) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement for the same Loss or claim. In addition, to the extent of the total of all indemnification payments to any Parent Indemnified Party for Pre-Closing Income Taxes, Parent shall pay to the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) the amount of any income Taxes that the Company is not required to pay solely because of the actual utilization of a net operating loss carryforward or similar tax attribute of the Company existing as of the Closing that is usable (or would have been used, treating any such net operating loss carryforward or similar tax attribute as being usable prior to any other net operating loss carryforward or similar tax attribute of Parent) against Post-Closing taxable income.

(h) Except in the case of fraud committed by the Company or any of the Principal Stockholders or as otherwise provided in Sections 8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(f), 8.2(g) and 8.3, the indemnification provided by Section 8.2(a), with respect to the Parent Indemnified Parties, or Section 8.2(b), with respect to the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses, Liabilities or other claims of the Parent Indemnified Parties or the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, respectively, and Parent Indemnified Parties and Stockholder Indemnified Parties hereby waive and release and forever discharge, and agree to refrain from making or alleging any claim against, and covenant not to xxx, the Stockholder Indemnified Parties or the Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, all rights, claims, causes of action (other than for fraud) suits, demands, causes of action, contracts, covenants, obligations, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees, and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law or equity, by statute or otherwise, whether now known or unknown, vested or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, which have existed, may have existed, do exist or may arise in the future, which it has suffered or may suffer, sustain or become subject to, directly or indirectly, as a result of being, or in connection with being, a party to, or which it may have against the Stockholders or Parent, respectively, with respect to, arising out of or otherwise in connection with (i) this Agreement (including, without limitation, any breach of or inaccuracy in any representations or warranties or any breach or failure in performance prior to Closing of any covenants or agreements made by the Company or the Principal Stockholders or by Parent or Acquisition Sub in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements

-43-

(subject to Section 8.2(e)) or any certificate delivered hereunder, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (iii) any information, document, projection or material relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their businesses provided or made available by the Company to the Parent Indemnified Parties in connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its businesses (including, without limitation, such information, documents, projections or materials made available in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or electronic communications) and (iv) any information, document, projection or material relating to the financial condition, performance or prospects the Company, its Subsidiaries or its businesses whether or not provided or made available to the Parent Indemnified Parties. To the extent applicable, the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Stockholder Indemnified Parties represent and warrant that such Person understands California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Parent Indemnified Parties or the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, solely with respect to matters set forth in subsections (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Stockholder Indemnified Parties expressly acknowledge that this release of such matters is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all such items with respect to such matters which such Persons do not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this release contemplates the extinguishment of all such matters.

(i) For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sales or use Taxes and Taxes based upon or related to income, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income and any gross receipts, sales or use Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocation set forth in the foregoing clause (ii) shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of its Company and the Subsidiaries.

8.3 Limitations; Maximum Payments; Remedies.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, except to the extent that the Losses resulted from (i) any of the Specified Indemnity Items, (ii) Pre-Closing Income Taxes, (iii) Stock Option Cancellation Amount or (iv) fraud committed by a Principal Stockholder or

-44-

the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, any and all claims by a Parent Indemnified Party for Losses shall be satisfied solely and exclusively from the Escrow Fund. To the extent that the Losses resulted from (i) any of the Specified Indemnity Items, (ii) Pre-Closing Income Taxes, or (iii) Stock Option Cancellation Amount, such claims by a Parent Indemnified Party for Losses in respect thereof shall be satisfied (a) first, from the Escrow Fund and (b) second, against the Principal Stockholders directly, on a several basis (it being understood and agreed that a Parent Indemnified Party may only proceed against the Principal Stockholders on a several basis and then only in accordance with the provisions and limitations set forth herein (including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.3)).

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.3(b) and subject to Section 8.3(d) below, the maximum amount a Parent Indemnified Party may recover from a Stockholder individually for its indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article VIII shall be limited to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount; provided, however, that (i) the liability of each of the Principal Stockholders for Pre-Closing Income Taxes, the Stock Option Cancellation Amount and for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in the Specified Indemnity Items, other than breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.18(c) and 2.22, shall be limited to a dollar amount equal to the aggregate proceeds received by such Principal Stockholder (including such Principal Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund to the extent that funds are remaining the Escrow Fund), (ii) the liability of each Principal Stockholder for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.18(c) and 2.22, shall be limited to a dollar amount equal to thirty five percent (35%) of the aggregate proceeds received by such Principal Stockholder.

(c) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.3, the maximum amount the Stockholder Indemnified Parties may recover from Parent for its indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article VIII shall be limited to an amount equal to the Escrow Amount; provided, however, that the maximum amount the Stockholder Indemnified Parties may recover from Parent for its indemnification obligations as a result of the breach or inaccuracy of Section 4.2 is limited to the amount of the Total Consideration.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of any Principal Stockholder (and the Escrow Fund shall not be the exclusive remedy) or any other Person arising out of any fraud committed by the Company, any of the Principal Stockholders or by such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of fraud by the Company, any of the Principal Stockholders or any such Person, (i) the recovery by Parent Indemnified Parties or the Stockholder Indemnified Parties is not limited to Losses as defined in this Agreement and (ii) the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to pursue any remedy or theory of law with respect to such fraud to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law or in equity.

(e) The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate Parent Indemnified Parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery pursuant to the

-45-

terms and limitations under this Article VIII. Parent and the Stockholders may not avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this Article VIII by seeking damages for breach of contract.

8.4 Escrow Arrangements.

(a) Escrow Fund. At the Closing, the Principal Stockholders and upon execution of the Option Cancellation Agreement, the Optionholders (in accordance with Section 1.2) and at the Effective Time of the Short-Form Merger, the Minority Stockholders (in accordance with Section 1.3), will be deemed to have received and deposited with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount without any act of any Stockholder or Optionholder. At the Closing, the Escrow Amount, without any act of any Stockholder, shall be deposited by Parent (in immediately available United States funds by wire transfer) with the Escrow Agent, such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed by the terms set forth herein.

(b) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Periods.

(i) Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Closing and shall terminate as to 50% of the cash then remaining in the Escrow Fund (the “Initial Distribution”) at 5:00 p.m., California time, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Initial Escrow Period”); provided, however, that the Initial Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to such amount (or such portion thereof), not to exceed the aggregate amount remaining in the Escrow Fund, necessary to satisfy the aggregate amount of (i) all Losses specified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the termination of the Initial Escrow Period, which has not been successfully challenged by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof and otherwise subject to the objection of the Stockholder Representative and the subsequent arbitration of the matter provided in Section 8.5 hereof and (ii) all amounts specified in a Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the termination of the Initial Escrow Period which has not been successfully challenged by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof (the “Initial Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses”); provided, however, that with respect to any Initial Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses or Final Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses (as defined below), the Stockholder Representative may object to the Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate in the manner provided in Section 8.5 hereof. As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Stockholders the remaining portion of the Initial Distribution, if any, not required to satisfy the Losses identified in any unresolved Officer’s Certificate or amounts identified in the Reasonably Anticipated Losses Certificate. Deliveries of portions of the Initial Distribution to the Stockholders pursuant to this Section shall be made in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

(ii) The remainder of the Escrow Fund shall terminate and be distributed to the Stockholders at 5:00 p.m., California time, on the Survival Date (the “Final Escrow Period” and such distribution, the “Final Distribution”); provided, however, that the Final Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to such amount (or such portion thereof), not to exceed the aggregate amount remaining in the Escrow Fund, necessary to satisfy the aggregate amount of (i) all Losses specified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the termination of the

-46-

Final Escrow Period, which has not been successfully challenged by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof and is otherwise subject to the objection of the Stockholder Representative and the subsequent arbitration of the matter in the manner provided in Section 8.5 hereof), (ii) the Initial Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses to the extent still unresolved and (iii) all amounts specified in a Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the termination of the Final Escrow Period which has not been successfully challenged by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof (the “Final Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses”). As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Stockholders the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund, if any, not required to satisfy the Losses identified in any unresolved Officer’s Certificate or amounts identified in the Reasonably Anticipated Losses Certificate. Deliveries of portions of the Escrow Fund to the Stockholders pursuant to this Section shall be made in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, with the amount delivered to each Stockholder rounded to the nearest one hundredth (0.01) (with amounts 0.0005 and above rounded up). Except with respect to a matter previously asserted in a Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate, no claims may be asserted against the Escrow Fund after the Survival Date.

(c) Protection of Escrow Fund.

(i) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Parent and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII. The Escrow Agent shall hold (and shall be directed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative to hold) the Escrow Amount, together with any and all interest, income and gains (collectively, “Interest”) accrued thereon, in a separate and distinct account in the name of U.S. Bank, National Association as the escrow agent for the parties hereto, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(ii) The Escrow Fund shall be invested in U.S. Treasury bills with maturities of not more than 30 days and any interest paid on such cash portion of the Escrow Fund shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof. For any period of time before such U.S. Treasury bills can be purchased by Parent or after such bills mature, the Escrow Fund shall be invested in a U.S. Bank money market account and any interest paid on such cash portion of the Escrow Fund shall be added to the Escrow Fund and shall be distributed to the Stockholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions) at the end of the Initial Escrow Period or the Final Escrow Period, as the case may be, but such Interest shall not be available for satisfaction of claims of any Parent Indemnified Parties or indemnification obligations of the Stockholders as set forth above. The parties hereto agree that, for tax reporting purposes, Parent shall be deemed to be the owner of any cash in the Escrow Fund, and that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of such cash pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as earned by Parent. Upon the release of the cash in the Escrow Fund, a portion of any cash distributed to the Stockholders shall be treated as interest under the imputed interest rules of the Tax Code. The Parent and the Stockholder Representative acknowledge that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other regulatory entity grant the parties the right to receive

-47-

brokerage confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Parent and the Stockholder Representative specifically waives receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law. The Escrow Agent will furnish both parties monthly cash transaction statements which include detail for all investment transactions made by the Escrow Agent hereunder.

(d) Claims Upon Escrow Fund.

(i) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before the Survival Date of an Officer’s Certificate, or with respect to a matter set forth in a Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate prior to the distribution of the Escrow Fund (and, in any case, on or before the expiration of the applicable survival periods for the Specified Indemnity Items, as the case may be), the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8.5 hereof and subject to final resolution of the claim as set forth herein, deliver to Parent, as promptly as practicable, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Parent in the Officer’s Certificate, an amount of the Escrow Funds from the Escrow Account equal to the amount of Losses set forth in the Officer’s Certificate and finally resolved in accordance herewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Agent shall in no case make a distribution or release of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds to Parent with respect to a matter set forth in a Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate unless a subsequent Officer’s Certificate is validly delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions herein (including, without limitation, subject to the provisions of Section 8.5 hereof and subject to final resolution of the claim as set forth herein); provided, however, that such subsequent Officer’s Certificate need not be delivered on or before the Survival Date (or on or before the expiration of the applicable survival periods for the Specified Indemnity Items, as the case may be) so long as solely relating to the resolution of a claim made in a Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate.

(ii) Subject to, in accordance with and as permitted by the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5, in the event that a Parent Indemnified Party pursues a claim directly against any Principal Stockholder, on a several and not joint basis, or any other Person as permitted by this Article VIII, each Person from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall promptly, and in no event later than 30 days after delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to each such Indemnifying Party, wire transfer, to an account or accounts designated by the Parent Indemnified Party in the Officer’s Certificate, to the Parent Indemnified Party an amount of cash equal to the amount of the Loss set forth in such Officer’s Certificate that is actually incurred or sustained and that is indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder.

(iii) If the Stockholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) does not object in writing to either the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate or the amount of Losses, in each case in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.5, within the 30-day period after delivery by the Parent Indemnified Party of the Officer’s Certificate (with confirmation of receipt), such failure to so object in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.5 shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Stockholder Representative and the Principal Stockholders (or such Indemnifying Party) that the Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the Losses set

-48-

forth in such Officer’s Certificate that are actually incurred or sustained and that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder.

8.5 Objections to Claims; Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.

(a) Notice of Officer’s Certificate. At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate or any Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to the Stockholder Representative in accordance with Section 9.3 (and the Indemnifying Party in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party), and Parent shall also deliver to the Escrow Agent written proof of delivery to the Stockholder Representative of a copy of such Officer’s Certificate or Reasonably Anticipated Loss Officer’s Certificate (which proof may consist of, among other things, a photocopy of the registered or certified mail or overnight courier receipt or the signed receipt if delivered by hand).

(b) Objection to Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate Claims. After the Initial Escrow Period or the Final Escrow Period, as applicable, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to the Stockholders and Optionholders of any Initial Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses (in the case of the Initial Escrow Period) or the Final Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses (in the case of the Final Distribution) unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from Parent to make such delivery; provided, however, the Stockholder Representative may object (at appropriate times following any change in fact or circumstance relating to the underlying basis for the reasonably anticipated Losses) in a written statement to the Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate with respect to either the claim made therein, the reasonableness of the amount of the Initial Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses or Final Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses or the reasonableness of an assertion of an anticipated indemnifiable Loss under Section 8.2(a), in each case as identified in a Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate (a “Reasonableness Objection”). For the avoidance of doubt, any failure to object to (or acceptance of) any Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate shall in no way preclude, limit or otherwise affect the ability of the Stockholder Representative to object to any item in any Officer’s Certificate (whether or not such Officer’s Certificate is validly delivered subsequent to and related to the claims set forth in any such Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate). Upon resolution of a matter or claim contained in any Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate, Parent shall promptly (and in any event, within 10 days) deliver a subsequent Officer’s Certificate to the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent in respect of such matter or claims in accordance with the terms herein or shall withdraw its claim in respect of such matter or claim and direct the Escrow Agent to distribute the applicable amount to the Stockholders.

(c) Objection to Officer’s Certificate Claims. For a period of 30 days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such proof of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Stockholder Representative, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Parent of any Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 8.4(d) hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Stockholder Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such 30 day period, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4(d) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery by

-49-

wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by Parent in the Officer’s Certificate of an amount of cash from the Escrow Fund equal to the amount of Losses incurred or sustained by Parent and claimed in the Officer’s Certificate; provided, however, that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Stockholder Representative shall object in a written statement to either the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate or the amount of Losses claimed thereunder (an “Objection Notice”), and such Objection Notice shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period.

(d) Disputed Claims.

(i) In case the Stockholder Representative delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 8.5(c) or a Reasonableness Objection in accordance with Section 8.5(b), the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall (A) attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims and (B) Parent shall, and shall cause any Parent Indemnified Party to, cooperate with the Stockholder Representative and its counsel and other representatives and make available Parent’s or any such Parent Indemnified Party’s personnel, and provide such testimony and access to Parent’s or any such Parent Indemnified Party’s books and records in a manner which preserves Parent’s or the Parent Indemnified Party’s legal privileges as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the claim (x) made in the Officer’s Certificate or the amount of Losses claimed thereunder or (y) as set forth in a Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate, the reasonableness of the amount of the Initial Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses or Final Holdback for Reasonably Anticipated Losses or the reasonableness of an assertion of an anticipated indemnifiable Loss thereunder. If the Stockholder Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent and, in the case of a claim directly against the Principal Stockholders, to the Principal Stockholders. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and, in the event of a Reasonableness Objection, distribute to the Stockholders and Optionholders or retain amounts in the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof, or in the event of an Objection Notice, distribute an amount of cash from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

(ii) In the event that the Stockholder Indemnified Parties seek indemnification of Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Stockholder Indemnified Party and Parent shall (A) attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims and (B) subject to their right to maintain any legal privileges (e.g. attorney-client privilege), the Stockholder Indemnfied Party shall cooperate with Parent and its counsel and other representatives and make available such Stockholder Indemnified Party’s personnel, and provide such testimony and access to such Stockholder Indemnified Party’s books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the amount of indemnifiable Losses claimed by such Stockholder Indemnified Party.

(e) Arbitration.

(i) If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) may demand

-50-

arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party). In the event that, within 30 days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Stockholder Representative cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within 15 days after the end of such 30-day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator with relevant industry experience.

(ii) Any such arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate or the reasonableness of any Reasonably Anticipated Losses Officer’s Certificate shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s), and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with, the terms of such award, judgment, decree or order as applicable. Within 30 days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party.

(iii) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The forgoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute among the Principal Stockholders and the Parent Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII, whether relating to claims upon the Escrow Fund or to the other indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VIII.

8.6 Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the event Parent, the Company (following the Closing) or the Principal Stockholders become aware of a third-party claim that Parent believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund or for other indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII (a “Third-Party

-51-

Claim”), Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of such claim, and the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Stockholders (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled), at the Stockholders’ expense (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party’s expense), to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of such claim. For purposes of this Agreement, Third Party Claims shall be deemed to include those claims disclosed in Item 1 of Section 2.18(o) of the Company Disclosure Schedule for informational purposes. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle any Third Party Claim. If with respect to the settlement of the Third Party Claim (i) Parent acts reasonably and in good faith in response to such Third-Party Claim and (ii) Parent obtains the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Third-Party Claim, Parent will be able to recover the amount of such settlement as a Loss pursuant Article VIII to the extent such amount is (b) less than or equal to the amount set forth in the written consent and (b) otherwise an indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Article VIII. Furthermore, if Parent does not receive such written consent from the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party), in the full amount of the settlement, than any amounts that are paid in any such settlement shall not be determinative of the amount of Losses that are recoverable and the amount of settlement that is recoverable as a Loss under this Agreement shall be limited to (and shall in no event exceed) the amount of the settlement to which (i) it would have been unreasonable to withhold consent and (ii) otherwise an indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Article VIII; provided, however, that no amount shall be recoverable hereunder if Parent does not act reasonably and in good faith in response to such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Stockholder Representative (for and on behalf of the Stockholders) shall control all matters relating to the disclosure set forth as Item 3 in Section 2.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (including, without limitation, seeking to obtain any determination by the Internal Revenue Service in connection therewith); provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall consult with Parent regarding such matters and promptly provide all information reasonably requested by Parent.

(b) Parent Indemnified Parties shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate Losses for which Parent Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (including, without limitation, after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith).

8.7 Escrow Agent’s Duties.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and as set forth in any additional written escrow instructions which the Escrow Agent may receive after the date of this Agreement, which are signed by an officer of

-52-

Parent and by the Stockholder Representative, and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

(b) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court of law, notwithstanding any notices, warnings or other communications from any party or any other person to the contrary. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.

(e) In performing any duties under the Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for damages, losses, or expenses, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not incur any such Liability for (A) any act or failure to act made or omitted in good faith, or (B) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement or affidavit provided for in this Agreement that the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, nor will the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible for forgeries, fraud, impersonations, or determining the scope of any representative authority. In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with the legal counsel in connection with Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining and verifying the authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement.

(f) If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and any equity securities of Parent and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, the Escrow Agent may be required, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damage. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may at its option, file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with

-53-

the clerk of the court all documents and any equity securities of Parent held in escrow, except all cost, expenses, charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action (the “Agent Interpleader Expenses”) and which the parties agree to pay as follows: fifty percent (50%) to be paid by Parent and fifty percent (50%) to be paid by the Principal Stockholders; provided, however, that in the event any Principal Stockholder fails to timely pay its Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Principal Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses and recover an equal amount from such Principal Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all Liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.

(g) The parties and their respective successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent against any and all Liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, and disbursements that may be imposed on the Escrow Agent or incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including but not limited to any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter, other than those arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent (the “Agent Indemnification Expenses”) as follows: fifty percent (50%) to be paid by Parent and fifty percent (50%) to be paid by the Stockholders on the basis of the Stockholders’ Pro Rata Portions; provided, however, that in the event any Stockholder fails to timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses and recover an equal amount from such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund.

(h) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least 30 days written notice to the parties; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent which shall be accomplished as follows: the parties shall use their best efforts to mutually agree on a successor escrow agent within 30 days after receiving such notice. If the parties fail to agree upon a successor escrow agent within such time, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor escrow agent authorized to do business in the State of California. The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent. Upon appointment of a successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged from any further duties and Liability under this Agreement.

(i) Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

-54-

8.8 Fees of Escrow Agent. All fees of the Escrow Agent for performance of its duties hereunder shall be paid by Parent in accordance with the standard fee schedule of the Escrow Agent. It is understood that the fees and usual charges agreed upon for services of the Escrow Agent shall be considered compensation for ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement.
