CERTIFICATES; PAYMENTS; ADJUSTMENTS

3.1           Determination of Closing Net Assets and Closing Adjustment Amount.

(a)                   Company Determination.  On the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer shall deliver to Parent a certificate setting forth:

(i)            Company’s good faith estimation of the Closing Net Assets (the “Estimated Net Assets”)

(ii)           Company’s good faith estimation of Closing Debt (the “Estimated Debt”);

(iii)          Company’s good faith determination of the Specified Transaction Expenses and all other Transaction Expenses;

(iv)          Company’s good faith determination of the Estimated Adjustment Amount;

(vi)          Company’s good faith determination of the number of Base Consideration Shares,

all in reasonable detail together with appropriate backup documentation (including final invoices with respect to all Transaction Expenses) to support such estimations and determinations (collectively, the “Company Determination”).

(b)   Base Consideration Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary implied or expressed herein, in determining the number of Base Consideration Shares for determining the number of Merger Shares pursuant to the Company Determination, the Estimated Enterprise Value shall be deemed to not exceed $21,000,000, it being understood and agreed that any additional adjustment above $21,000,000 shall be determined and paid pursuant to Section 3.1(c) below.

13

(c)                   Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i)            Within 60 days following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (such balance sheet is referred to as the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”).  The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be substantially in the form of the Company’s Balance Sheet and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes) and on a basis consistent with and utilizing the same principles, practices and policies as those used by the Company in preparing the Company’s Balance Sheet.  Together with the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Parent’s Chief Financial Officer shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a certificate setting forth:

(A)          Parent’s good faith determination of the Closing Net Assets;

(B)           Parent’s good faith determination of Closing Debt;

(C)           Company’s good faith determination of the Specified Transaction Expenses and all other Transaction Expenses;

(D)          Parent’s good faith determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount; and

(E)           Parent’s good faith determination of the Adjusted Enterprise Value

all in reasonable detail together with appropriate backup documentation to support such estimations and determinations (collectively, the “Parent Determination”).

(ii)           After the delivery of the Company Balance Sheet and the Parent Determination, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cooperate with the Stockholder Representative in connection with his review of the Company Balance Sheet and the Parent Determination, including by providing the Stockholder Representative and his representatives reasonable access during business hours to the employees of Parent and the Surviving Corporation responsible for, and the books, records and other materials used in, the preparation of the Company Balance Sheet and the Parent Determination.  The Stockholder Representative may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet or the Parent Determination by notifying Parent in writing of each disputed item, specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within 30 days after the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Parent Determination.  If the Stockholder Representative delivers a notice of disagreement within such 30-day period, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, each use good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to finally determine the Adjusted Enterprise Value.  If the Stockholder Representative and Parent are unable to reach agreement concerning the Adjusted Enterprise Value during such 30-day period, they shall promptly thereafter submit the dispute to the Accounting Referee for resolution pursuant to Section 3.1(d). In the event of any dispute by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Section 3.1(c)(ii), the Adjustment Escrow Shares Release Date shall automatically be extended until the resolution of such dispute pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(d).

14

(iii)          The Adjusted Enterprise Value shall be deemed conclusively determined for purposes of this Agreement upon the earlier to occur of (x) the failure of the Stockholder Representative to notify Parent of a dispute within 30 days of the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Parent Determination and the other information provided in clause (c)(i) above, all as set forth in clause (c)(i) above, (y) the written resolution of all disputes pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above by Parent and the Stockholder Representative, and (z) the resolution of all disputes by the Accounting Referee pursuant to Section 3.1(d). Within three Business Days of such conclusive determination, if: (A) the Adjusted Enterprise Value is less than the Estimated Enterprise Value, Parent shall be entitled to receive from the Escrowed Shares that number of Escrowed Shares having a value, based on the Agreed Price Per Share, the absolute value of the difference between the Estimated Enterprise Value and the Adjusted Enterprise Value, or (B) the Adjusted Enterprise Value is greater than the Estimated Enterprise Value, Parent shall make a cash payment to the Stockholder Representative (for further distribution to the Participating Rights Holders) equal to the absolute value of the difference between the Estimated Enterprise Value and the Adjusted Enterprise Value.

(iv)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Escrowed Shares that the Parent shall be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(iii) shall be out of the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Carve-Out Escrowed Adjustment Shares, on a pro rata basis, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share (in the case of fractional shares) and shall in no event exceed 5% of the Base Consideration Shares.  Any payment of Escrowed Shares to the Parent pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(iii) shall be deemed a decrease to the Merger Consideration.  The first 6.383% of any cash payment pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(iii) shall be allocated to the Executive Payee, and the remainder of any such payment shall be allocated among the various series of the Company’s Preferred Stock in proportion to their respective Preference Percentage and then to each holder of shares of Company Preferred Stock pursuant to such holders’ respective Pro Rata Portion of each such series of Company Preferred Stock.

(d)   Adjustment Dispute Resolution.  If the Stockholder Representative and Parent are unable to reach agreement concerning the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Adjusted Enterprise Value pursuant to Section 3.1(c), they shall submit such dispute to KPMG LLP or, if KPMG LLP has a prior relationship with any of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or is not available, a nationally recognized independent accounting expert mutually acceptable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative (the “Accounting Referee”) for resolution pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) and instruct the Accounting Referee to review the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of final determination of the Adjusted Enterprise Value.  In making such determination and calculations, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Date Balance Sheet and/or the Parent Determination as to which line item determination(s) the Stockholder Representative has disagreed in writing.  Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall instruct the Accounting Referee to use its best efforts to deliver to the Stockholder Representative and Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days after submission of the dispute to the Accounting Referee) a report setting forth the Accounting Referee’s calculation of the disputed amounts.  Such report shall be final and binding upon the Stockholder Representative, the Participating Rights Holders, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and the resulting Closing Date Balance Sheet and calculation of the Adjusted Enterprise Value shall be final for all purposes of this Agreement.  The fees, costs

15

and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne (i) by Parent if the aggregate difference between the finally determined Adjusted Enterprise Value and Parent’s calculation of such amount at the time the disagreement(s) were submitted to the Accounting Referee is greater than the aggregate difference between the finally determined Adjusted Enterprise Value and the Stockholder Representative’s calculation of such amount at the time the disagreement(s) were submitted to the Accounting Referee, (ii) by Stockholder Representative if the aggregate difference between the finally determined Adjusted Enterprise Value and Stockholder Representative’s calculation of such amount at the time the disagreement(s) were submitted to the Accounting Referee is greater than the aggregate difference between the finally determined Adjusted Enterprise Value and Parent’s calculation of such amount at the time the disagreement(s) were submitted to the Accounting Referee, and (iii) in any other case, one-half by Parent and one-half by the Stockholder Representative.

4.5           Qualification.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the character of its owned or leased properties or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or in good standing as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

4.6           Subsidiaries.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not have any Subsidiaries or own any legal and/or beneficial interests in or to any other business enterprise or other person.  Company is the sole record and beneficial owner of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries listed as owned by it, free and clear of all Liens.

Following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation will be permitted to exercise all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective rights under the Contracts listed on Schedule 4.10(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to the same extent the Company or its Subsidiaries would have been able to had the transaction contemplated by this Agreement not occurred and without the payment of any additional funds other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which the Company or its Subsidiaries would otherwise be required to pay.

(g)   Schedule 4.10(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all Contracts between the Company or its Subsidiaries and any third party wherein or whereby the Company or its Subsidiaries has agreed to, or assumed, any obligation or duty to warrant, indemnify, hold harmless or otherwise assume or incur any obligation or liability with respect to the infringement or misappropriation by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any third party’s Intellectual Property.

Intellectual Property. The conduct of the business of the Company (including, without limitation, the distribution, sale or licensing of the Company Products) and its Subsidiaries and use of the Company Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property that as formerly Company Intellectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries has not in the past and does not infringe or misappropriate any other Person’s Intellectual Property, other than the rights of any person under any patent, or give rise to any claim of unfair competition under any applicable law, rule or regulation. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the distribution, sale or licensing of the Company Products), nor the use of the Company Intellectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries, infringes or violates (or in the past infringed on or violated) the rights of any Person under any patent. No claims, litigation or governmental or other proceedings (i) challenging the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or ownership by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any of the Company Intellectual Property owned by them or (ii) to the effect that the use, reproduction, modification, manufacture, distribution, licensing, sublicensing, sale, or any other exercise of rights in any Company Intellectual Property by the Company or its Subsidiaries or by any licensee of the Company or its Subsidiaries infringed or misappropriated, does infringe or misappropriate or will infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property or other proprietary or personal right of any person, have been asserted against the Company or its Subsidiaries or, to the Company’s knowledge, are threatened by any person.

(i)    The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain reasonable security measures for the preservation of the secrecy and proprietary nature of such of the Company Intellectual Property as constitute trade secrets or other confidential information, including, without limitation, requiring all Company employees and consultants and other persons with access to Company trade secrets or other confidential information to execute a confidentiality agreement and, to the Company’s knowledge, there has not been any breach by any party to any such confidentiality agreement.

within sixty (60) days after the Filing Date, and to remain effective until the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date or such earlier time as all of the Registrable Shares covered by the Stockholder Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto (the “Effective Period”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent’s obligations to file and cause to go effective the Stockholder Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 6.13(a) shall be conditioned upon Parent’s receipt of the consent of the Company’s auditors to include the Company’s audited financials in the Stockholder Registration Statement and all information about the Company and the Registering Stockholders as Parent may reasonably request  At the conclusion of the Effective Period, Parent shall be entitled to withdraw the Stockholder Registration Statement and the Registering Stockholders shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Stockholder Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto).  The Registrable Shares subject to the Stockholder Registration Statement shall not be underwritten.

(b)   Limitations on Registration Rights.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.13 to the contrary, if the Company shall furnish to the Registering Stockholders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Parent stating that Parent has made the good faith determination that (i) continued use by the Registering Stockholders of the Stockholder Registration Statement filed by Parent for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, premature disclosure in the Stockholder Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto) of material, nonpublic information concerning Parent, its business or prospects or any proposed material transaction involving Parent, (ii) such premature disclosure would be materially adverse to Parent, its business or prospects or any such proposed material transaction or would make the successful consummation by Parent of any such material transaction significantly less likely, and (iii) it is therefore advisable to suspend the use by the Registering Stockholders of such Stockholder Registration Statement (and any prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto, then the right of the Registering Stockholders to use such Stockholder Registration Statement (and prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto shall be suspended for a period (the “Suspension Period”) of not more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period after delivery by the Company of the certificate referred to above in this Section 6.13(b).  During the Suspension Period, none of the Registering Stockholders shall offer or sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to or in reliance upon such Stockholder Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto).  Parent agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the consummation, abandonment or public disclosure of the event or transaction that caused Parent to suspend the use of the Registration Statement (and the prospectus or prospectuses relating thereto) pursuant to this Section 6.13(b), Parent will provide the Registering Stockholders with revised prospectuses, if required, and will notify the Registering Stockholders of their ability to effect offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to or in reliance upon such Stockholder Registration Statement. Parent shall not be required to disclose to the Registering Stockholders the reasons for requiring a suspension of sales hereunder, and the Registering Stockholders shall not disclose to any third party the existence of any such suspension.

52

(c)   Registration Procedures.

(i)            Subject to Section 6.13(b), Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Stockholder Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with such Stockholder Registration Statement as may be reasonably necessary to keep such Stockholder Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares pursuant to such Stockholder Registration Statement during the Effective Period.

(ii)           If any prospectus used in connection with the Stockholder Registration Statement is amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Parent shall promptly notify the Registering Stockholders and, if requested by Parent, the Registering Stockholders shall immediately cease making offers or sales of shares under the Stockholder Registration Statement until Parent shall have notified the Registering Stockholders that such prospectus has been so amended or supplemented.

(iii)          Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by the Stockholder Registration Statement under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such states as the Registering Stockholders shall reasonably request; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, unless the Parent is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

(iv)          Parent shall notify each Registering Stockholder promptly after Parent receives notice thereof of the time when the Stockholder Registration Statement has been declared effective and of any request by the SEC that Parent amend or supplement the Stockholder Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(v)           Parent shall pay the expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this Section 6.13, including all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees and fees and expenses of Parent’s counsel and accountants, but (i) excluding any brokerage fees, selling commissions or underwriting discounts incurred by the Registering Stockholders in connection with sales under the Stockholder Registration Statement and (ii) the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by Registering Stockholders.

(d)   Requirements of Company Stockholders.  Parent shall not be required to include any Registrable Shares in the Stockholder Registration Statement unless the Registering Stockholder owning such shares furnishes to Parent an executed stockholder questionnaire, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (a “Stockholder Questionnaire”), for purposes of, among other things, (i) agreeing to the indemnification provisions and registration rights provisions hereunder, and (ii) providing certain “selling stockholder” information to Parent for use in preparing the Stockholder Registration Statement.

(e)   Indemnification.  In the event that any Registrable Shares of the Registering Stockholders are included in the Stockholder Registration Statement:

(i)            To the fullest extent permitted by law, Parent will indemnify and hold harmless each Registering Stockholder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and each officer, director, fiduciary, employee, member, general partner and limited partner (and

53

affiliates thereof) of such Registering Stockholder or such underwriter, each broker or other person acting on behalf of such Registering Stockholder and each person, if any, who controls such Registering Stockholder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Stockholder Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse on demand such Registering Stockholder, such underwriter, such broker or other person acting on behalf of such Registering Stockholder or such officer, director, fiduciary, employee, member, general partner, limited partner, affiliate or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.13(e)(i); provided, however, that (x) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.13(e)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall Parent be liable in any such case for any such loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in connection with the Stockholder Registration Statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Registering Stockholders, any underwriter for them or controlling person with respect to them, and (y) the foregoing indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Registering Stockholder, underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of such Registering Stockholder or such officer, director, fiduciary, employee, member, general partner, limited partner, affiliate or controlling person from whom the Person asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or action purchased Registrable Shares during a Suspension Period.

(ii)           To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Registering Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Stockholder Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter for Parent (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and all other Registering Stockholders against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which Parent or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Registering Stockholders may become subject to, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Stockholder Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Stockholder Registration Statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information

54

furnished by such Registering Stockholder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and such Registering Stockholder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Parent or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Registering Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, subject to the provisions of Section 6.13(e); provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability of each Registering Stockholder under this Section 6.13(e) shall be limited to the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) actually received by such Registering Stockholder from the sale of Registrable Shares covered by the Stockholder Registration Statement, and provided further that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.13(e) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of those Registering Stockholder(s) against which the request for indemnity is being made (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6.13(e) of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.13(e), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that, if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6.13(e), the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any person controlling such indemnified party for the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the indemnified party that are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6.13(e).  Subject to the foregoing, an indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party.  The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to his ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6.14(e), but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve him of any liability that the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this Section 6.13.

(iv)          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any Registering Stockholder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.13 but it is judicially determined that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 6.13 provides for indemnification in such case or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such Registering Stockholder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6.13, then, in each such case, Parent and such Registering Stockholder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,

55

damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportions so that such holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Shares offered by the Stockholder Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such Stockholder Registration Statement, and Parent is responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such case, (i) no such holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds to it of all Registrable Shares sold by it pursuant to such Stockholder Registration Statement, and (ii) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation, within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f)    Rule 144.  Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time (or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC), regarding the availability of current public information to the extent required to enable each Registering Stockholder to sell Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the resale provisions of Rule 144 (or any similar rule or regulation).  Upon the written request of a Registering Stockholder, Parent will deliver to such Registering Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, upon a Registering Stockholder’s compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule 144, will take such action as may reasonably be required (including, without limitation, causing legal counsel to issue an appropriate opinion) to cause its transfer agent to effectuate any transfer of Registrable Shares properly requested by such Registering Stockholder, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144.

(g)   Transferees.  The Stockholder Registration Statement and the prospectus that is a part thereof shall provide appropriate disclosure indicating that the term “selling stockholders” as used therein shall include donees, transferees, pledgees and other successors in interest of the Registering Stockholders.  Parent hereby covenants to file any amendment to the Stockholder Registration Statement, or supplement the prospectus that is a part thereof, to enable any Registering Stockholder’s donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest to sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Stockholder Registration Statement.  All rights of any Registering Stockholder under this Section 6.13(g) shall run to the benefit of any donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest of such Registering Stockholder.

6.14         Employment and Benefit Matters.

(a)   Provision of Benefits.  Subject to Section 6.14(c), Company and Stockholder Representative acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of Parent to offer, or to cause the Surviving Corporation to offer, continued employment or consulting relationship, as the case may be, on terms satisfactory to Parent to those Company employees and consultants listed on Schedule 6.14(a) hereof (the “Specified Employees”). Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, treat, and cause the applicable benefit plans to treat, the service of the Specified Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries attributable to any period before the Effective Time as service rendered to Parent or the Surviving Corporation for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for other appropriate benefits including, but not limited to, applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation (but excluding benefit accrual under

56

any defined benefit plan of Parent).  Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations, eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations under any health or similar plan of Parent to be waived with respect to the Specified Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which the Specified Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, and any deductibles paid by the Specified Employees under any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ health plans in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent.  Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate arrangements with its insurance carrier(s) to ensure such result.

(b)   Termination of Employment After Closing.  Company and Stockholder Representative acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of Parent to terminate, or to cause the Surviving Corporation to terminate, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time all of those individuals (other than the Specified Employees) that were employees and consultants of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, those individuals listed on Schedule 6.14(b) hereto, and to pay to such terminated employees and consultants severance pay as set forth on Schedule 6.14(b) pursuant to severance agreements in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

(c)   Continuation of Employment.  No provision of this Section 6.14 shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, and no provision of this Section 6.14 shall create such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee program or any plan or arrangement that may be established by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.  No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on the rights to amend, modify or terminate after the Effective Time any such plans or arrangements of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(d)   Option Termination Letters.  Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Option Termination Letters in the form of Exhibit G hereto from each of the persons listed on Schedule 6.14(d) hereto.

6.15         Tax Matters.

(a)   Transfer Taxes.  Any transfer, value added, excise, stock transfer, stamp, recording, registration and any similar Taxes that become payable in connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be split equally with one half payable by Parent and one half payable by the Company Stockholders (Parent shall be entitled to a claim equal to such amount pursuant to Article 9); provided, however, that Parent shall be liable for any Transfer Taxes incurred as a result of any election under Section 338 of the Code.  The applicable parties shall cooperate in filing such forms and documents as may be necessary to permit any such Transfer Tax to be assessed and paid on or prior to the Closing Date in accordance with any available pre-sale filing procedure, and to obtain any exemption or refund of any such Transfer Tax.

57

(b)   Cooperation on Tax Matters.  Parent, Midco, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Parent, Midco, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and the Surviving Corporation relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and to the extent of any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority.

(c)   Tax Treatment of Carve Out Shares and Withholding Tax Shares.  Parent, Midco, Merger Sub, Company, Surviving Corporation and Stockholder’s Representative agree that, for all tax purposes, (i) the Withholding Tax Shares shall be treated as having been paid to the Executive Payee by the Company, (ii) the payment of the Carve Out Shares and the Withholding Tax Shares to the Executive Payee pursuant to the Payment Agreement shall be treated as compensation paid by the Company to the Executive Payee, and (iii) the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payments under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law.  Parent, Midco, Merger Sub, Company, Surviving Corporation and Stockholder’s Representative agree to file all Tax Returns consistent with this Section 6.15(c).

(d)   Section 338 Election. Parent may at its option make an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Merger.  In the event that Parent makes such an election, the Tax consequences of such election shall not be taken into account either (i) in the computation of the Estimated Net Assets or the Closing Net Assets or (ii) in determining for any purpose under this Agreement whether the representations in Section 4.14 are true and correct.

(e)   Tax Treatment of the Merger. Parent, Midco, Merger Sub, the Company, Surviving Corporation and Stockholder Representative intend that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall be treated as a taxable disposition of the Company Stock by the Company Stockholders.  Parent, Midco, Merger Sub, the Company, Surviving Corporation and Stockholder Representative agree to file all Tax Returns consistently with the foregoing.

(f)    Midco. Parent will not liquidate, merge, dissolve or otherwise terminate the existence of Midco for U.S. federal income tax purposes for at least two (2) years after the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board may withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of the Company Required Stockholder Approval and, in connection therewith, approve or recommend a Superior Proposal or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(h) and thereafter enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, provided that each of the following shall have been true and complied with, as applicable, prior to the Company Board or the Company, as the case may be, taking any such action: (i) the Company Required Stockholder Approval shall not have been previously obtained, (ii) the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal, (iii) in light of such Superior Proposal the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of the Company Required Stockholder Approval or the failure to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(h) and thereafter enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duty under applicable law, (iv) Company has notified Parent in writing of the determinations

62

described in clause (iii) above, (v) at least five business days following receipt by Parent of the notice referred to in clause (iv) above, and taking into account any revised proposal made by Parent since receipt of the notice referred to in clause (iv) above, such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and the Company Board has again made the determinations referred to in clause (iii) above, and (vi) the Company is in compliance with Section 7.26.

(c)   Company shall promptly advise Parent orally and in writing of (A) the receipt by it or by any of its Representatives after the date hereof of any Proposal, or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to a Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information in connection with such a Proposal or inquiry, or for access to the properties, books or records of Company by any third party and (B) the terms and conditions of any such Proposal or inquiry.  Such notice to Parent will indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the person making, and the terms of, the Proposal or inquiry. Company shall (i) keep Parent fully informed of the status including any change to the material terms or details of any Proposal or inquiry and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to the Company from any third party in connection with any Proposal or sent or sent or provided by the Company to any third party in connection with any Proposal.

(d)   Nothing contained in this Section 7.26 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any required disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.26, the Company Board may not take any action that would result in the Company’s stockholders no longer being legally capable under Delaware Law of validly approving the Merger.

(ii)           “Company Transaction” means (i) a purchase, merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, strategic alliance, corporate partnering transaction, license, sublicense or other transfer to a third party of intellectual property of the Company, business combination or other similar transaction involving Company or any subsidiary of Company and a third party (including, but not limited to, any transaction in which a third party could become the direct or indirect beneficial owner of any capital stock or any other equity interest of Company), or any purchase of all or any significant portion of the assets of Company or any subsidiary of Company by a third party or (ii) any financing of Company by a third party; and

(iii)          “Superior Proposal” means any proposal made by a third party to acquire all or substantially all the equity securities or assets of Company, pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, a merger, a consolidation, a liquidation or dissolution, a recapitalization, a sale of all or substantially all its assets or otherwise, (i) on terms which the Company Board

63

determines in good faith to be superior from a financial point of view on a present value basis to the holders of Company Stock than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (based on the advice of a nationally recognized independent financial advisor of the Company), taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of the this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) and (ii) that is reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal, and assuming this Agreement has been terminated.

9.5           Claim Procedures.

(a)   Third Party Claims.  Subject to Section 6.15(c), promptly after a Parent Covered Party has received notice of or has knowledge of any claim (a “Third Party Claim”) by any Person other than such Parent Covered Party (a “Third Person”) or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a Third Person (a “Third Party Proceeding”), in either case with respect to any matter for which such Parent Covered Party is entitled or may become entitled to make an Indemnification Claim, such Parent Covered Party shall give the Stockholder Representative written notice of such Third Party Claim or the commencement of such Third Party Proceeding.  Any failure to so notify the Stockholder Representative shall not limit the right to indemnification hereunder unless (and then only to the extent) the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Stockholder Representative vis-à-vis such Third Party Claim. If the Stockholder Representative notifies the Parent Covered Party within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the foregoing notice that he wishes to defend against the Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding, then the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding by appropriate proceedings with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Parent Covered Party for such defense; provided that the Stockholder Representative shall have confirmed in writing that the Parent Covered Party is entitled to indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding; and provided, further, that Parent Covered Party shall be entitled to control the defense of any Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding relating to the Company’s Intellectual Property and the Patents or any agreement relating to any of the foregoing.  The Parent Covered Party may participate in the defense, at its sole expense of any such Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding for which the Stockholder Representative shall have assumed the defense pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that counsel for the Stockholder Representative shall act as lead counsel in all matters pertaining to the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding.  The Stockholder Representative shall not make any settlement or compromise with respect to any Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding, without prior consent of the Parent Covered Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that with respect to any Tax Contest, the Stockholder Representative may settle such Tax Contest without the consent of a Parent Covered Party as long as such settlement, compromise or resolution would not increase the Taxes of the Surviving Corporation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall not be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding unless in connection with such settlement, the Parent Covered Party receives a

71

complete release with respect to the subject matter of such Third Party Claim and/or Third Party Proceeding.  Notwithstanding anything above in this Section 9.5 to the contrary, Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation (or other applicable Parent Covered Party) shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense, settlement or compromise of any Third Party Proceeding to the extent the Third Party Proceeding seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against any Parent Covered Party that, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of such Parent Covered Party.

(b)   Payment of Claims. In the event of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 hereof, the Parent Covered Party or the Company Covered Party claiming indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) will advise the other (the “Indemnifying Party”) and, in the case that the Indemnified Party is a Parent Covered Party, the Escrow Agent, in writing with reasonable specificity, to the extent known, of the amount and circumstances surrounding such claim.  If, after the Indemnified Party delivers a claim for indemnification to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.5(b) the Indemnifying Party accepts such claim in writing, the full amount thereof shall be paid (subject to the provisions of this Article 9 that may impose limitations on such claim) (i) with respect to any Parent Covered Party, out of the Indemnity Escrow Shares and the Carve Out Escrowed Indemnity Shares, on a pro rata basis, within two (2) days after the Stockholder Representative Committed has accepted such claim for indemnification (subject to the Indemnity Escrow Shares and the Carve Out Escrowed Indemnity Shares being available and sufficient to satisfy such claim), and (ii) with respect to any Company Covered Party, by Parent via wire transfer to the Stockholders Representative  Committee promptly after Parent has accepted such claim for indemnification.  If, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party delivers a claim for indemnification to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 9.5(b) or Section 9.5(a), the Indemnifying Party has not accepted such claim for indemnification, then, (A) if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Covered Party, such Parent Covered Party may make a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Shares and the Carve Out Escrowed Indemnity Shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Escrow Agreement (subject to the provisions of this Article 9 that may impose limitations on such claim and subject to subject to the Indemnity Escrow Shares and the Carve Out Escrowed Indemnity Shares being available and sufficient to satisfy such claim), and (B) if the Indemnified Party is either a Parent Covered Party or a Company Covered Party, such Indemnified Party may commence an action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking to enforce the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Article 9.  Promptly after receipt by the Stockholder Representative of any payment under this Section 9.5(b) by Parent in connection with any claim for indemnification by or on behalf of one or more Company Covered Parties, the Stockholder Representative shall distribute to such Company Covered Party or Company Covered Parties that portion of such payment to which such Company Covered Party or Company Covered Parties are entitled under this Agreement by virtue of such claim for indemnification.

9.6           Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements; Time Limitations; No Consequential Damages.

(a)   Notwithstanding any investigation conducted at any time with regard thereto by or on behalf of Company or Parent, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements

72

of the Company and Parent in this Agreement and in any other documents executed or delivered by the Company or Parent or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Additional Documents”) shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Additional Documents only until, with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in the Additional Documents, the Cutoff Date.  All representations and warranties of Company and Parent set forth in this Agreement and the Additional Documents shall be deemed to have been made again at and as of the Effective Time (except for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, which need to be true and correct only as of a specified date).  This Section 9.6 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto, which by its terms contemplated performance after the Effective Time or after the termination of this Agreement.

(b)   No Indemnification Claim (other than for fraud) may be first asserted after the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Cutoff Date”); provided, however, that any Indemnification Claim made prior to the Cutoff Date shall survive until such Indemnification Claim is finally determined, settled or resolved.

(c)   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Covered Party shall have the right to be indemnified for any Losses to the extent they are in the nature of consequential or incidental damages, multiple of damages, or punitive, special or exemplary damages unless such damages are awarded to a third party in a claim against such Covered Party.

(d)   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Covered Party shall have the right to be indemnified for any Losses to the extent such Losses arise out of any matter to which Section 3.1 of this Agreement applies.
