The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this transaction qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related sections thereunder.
2. Terms of Merger. In accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the requirements of applicable law, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company as of the Effective Time (the terms “Closing” and “Effective Time” are defined in Section 0 hereof). The Company shall be the surviving corporation (hereinafter the “Surviving Corporation”) and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease when the Merger shall become effective. Consummation of the Merger shall be upon the following terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein:
(a) Corporate Existence.
(i) Commencing with the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue its corporate existence as a Delaware corporation and (i) it shall thereupon and thereafter possess all rights, privileges, powers, franchises and property (real, personal and mixed) of each of Merger Sub and the Company (collectively, the “Constituent Corporations”); (ii) all debts due to either of the Constituent Corporations, on whatever account, all causes in action and all other things belonging to either of the Constituent Corporations shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to and shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation by virtue of the Merger without further act or deed; and (iii) all rights of creditors and all liens, if any, upon any property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to the property affected by such liens immediately prior to the Effective Time, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation.
(ii) At the Effective Time, (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and the By-laws of the Company, as existing immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be and remain the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation; (ii) the members of the Board of Directors of the Company holding office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain as the members of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation (if on or after the Effective Time a vacancy exists on the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation, such vacancy may thereafter be filled in a manner provided by applicable law and the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation); and (iii) until the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation shall otherwise determine, all persons who hold offices of the Company at the Effective Time shall continue to hold the same offices of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) Conversion of Securities. As of the Effective Time and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the securities of any of the Constituent Corporations, each of the following shall occur:
3
(i) Each share of Company Common Stock (as defined hereinafter) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined hereinafter) equal to the Conversion Ratio (as defined hereinafter). At the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously evidencing any such shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 0 hereof, certificates evidencing such number of shares of Parent Common Stock, respectively, into which such shares of Company Common Stock were converted. The holders of such certificates previously evidencing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by law. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued to the holders of the capital stock of the Company shall be subject to certain restrictions on any sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other manner of disposition as more fully set forth below;
(ii) Any shares of capital stock of the Company held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and
(iii) Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain in existence as one thousand shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, which shall be owned by Parent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Parent Common Stock at the Effective Time, but shall represent and become the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal and payment under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist. If, after the Effective Time, such Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such former Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive, upon surrender as provided above, Parent Common Stock without any interest thereon.
4
The Company shall give the Merger Sub, or after the Effective Time, the surviving corporation, prompt notice of any demands received for appraisal of shares of Company capital stock, any withdrawals of any such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company.
(c) Other Matters.
(i) Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding option or warrant to purchase Company Common Stock, whether or not then exercisable, shall be converted into an option or warrant to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such option or warrant, at a price per share equal to the exercise price per share in effect immediately prior to the Merger divided by the Conversion Ratio. All other terms and conditions of each option or warrant to purchase Company Common Stock shall remain the same.
(ii) At the Closing, the existing directors of Parent or its stockholders shall nominate and elect to the Board of Directors of Parent Peter Nielsen, Matthew S. Crawford (or a designee of Pinto Technology Ventures, L.P.), Evan S. Melrose and Doug Morris, or such other persons designated by the Company (the “Company Nominees”), and all of the persons serving as directors and officers of Parent immediately prior to the Closing shall thereafter resign from all of their positions with Parent.
(d) Definitions.
(i) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Conversion Ratio” shall mean: (A) (1) the Targeted Pre Merger Capitalization (as defined hereinafter), less (2) the Parent Company Share Number, divided by (B) the sum of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date, (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock reserved for issuance under Company Stock Plan (as defined hereinafter), but not issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date, (3) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of the Closing Date (which shall not include (x) the obligation of the Company to issue to Peyton Chandler & Sullivan, Inc.

On the Effective Date, the Principal Shareholders shall deliver to Irwin Union Bank (the “Escrow Agent”) certificates representing a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) $100,000, divided by (ii) the price per share at which the Surviving Corporation sell shares in the Equity Financing (as defined hereinafter) (the “Escrow Shares”). The Escrow Shares shall be held in escrow for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of the Principal Shareholders set forth in Section 0 of this Agreement. The Escrow Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B.
4. Delivery of Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall mail to each record holder of certificates formerly representing all of such holder’s shares of Company capital stock (the “Old Certificates”), at the address set forth on books of the Company, (i) a notice of the effectiveness of the Merger and (ii) a Letter of Transmittal in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Upon surrender of an Old Certificate, together with a Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Old Certificate (other than Old Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Company capital stock were converted pursuant to the Merger (the “New Certificates”), that such holder is entitled to receive, which shall be delivered by Parent in accordance with the instructions provided by such holder in the Letter of Transmittal executed by such holder. Until surrendered and exchanged as herein provided, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Time, represented Company Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been so converted. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any certificate that prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Company Common Stock until the holder of such certificate surrenders or exchanges such certificate as herein provided.

6
(ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock less any withholding taxes which are required thereon. No party hereto will be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any Parent Common Stock or dividends or distributions thereon in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. In the event any certificate representing Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of Company Common Stock claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement by such holder to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such certificate, Parent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

If this transaction is not consummated for any reason, each party shall return to the other all such confidential information, including notes and compilations thereof, promptly after the date of such termination. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that either party hereto discovered or should have discovered any representation or warranty is or might be inaccurate in any respect.

12. Survival and Indemnification. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, or in any schedule, certificate, document or statement delivered pursuant hereto, shall survive (and not be affected in any respect by) the Closing, any investigation conducted by any party hereto and any information which any party may receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate on, and no claim or action with respect thereto may be brought after, the date that is 270 days after the Effective Date (the (“Expiration Date”), except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 0 of this Agreement and breaches of representations, warranties and covenants arising out of or related to the fraud or willful misconduct of any of the Principal Shareholders, Parent or Merger Sub shall survive indefinitely. The representations and warranties which terminate on the Expiration Date, and the liability of any party with respect thereto pursuant to this Section 0, shall not terminate with respect to any claim, whether or not fixed as to liability or liquidated as to amount, with respect to which the appropriate party has been given written notice setting forth the facts upon which the claim for indemnification is based prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date, as the case may be.
26
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 0, each of the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub (collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company’s past, present and future officers, directors, stockholders, employees, attorneys, and agents (and after the Closing, the Principal Shareholder shall also indemnify Parent) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses (as defined hereinafter) including, without limitation, any reasonable legal expenses to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub contained in Sections 0, 0 or 0 of this Agreement (as of the date hereof, or as of the Closing) or of any representation, warranty or statement made in any schedule, certificate, document or instrument delivered by the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub or any officer of any of them at or in connection with the Closing, in each case without giving effect to any materiality qualification (including qualifications indicating accuracy in all material respects), (ii) the breach by the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub, of or failure by the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub to perform any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or (iii) any Liabilities of Parent, other than the Retained Liabilities. Each Indemnifying Party specifically acknowledges and agrees that any Indemnified Party may proceed against any Indemnifying Party under this Section 0 without contemporaneously, or at any time, proceeding against any other Indemnifying Party. As used herein, “Losses” shall mean any and all demands, claims, complaints, actions or causes of action, suits, proceedings, investigations, arbitrations, assessments, losses, damages, payments, liabilities or obligations (including those arising out of any action, such as any settlement or compromise thereof or judgment or award therein) and any fees, costs and expenses related thereto, and the term “legal expenses” shall mean the fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by any party indemnified herein and its counsel in investigating, preparing for, defending against or providing evidence, producing documents or taking other action with respect to any threatened or asserted claim.
(b) The procedure for satisfaction of claims from the Escrow Shares is set forth in the Escrow Agreement; and in the event that the Escrow Shares have been exhausted, the procedure for satisfaction of claims is as follows: In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of its claim for indemnification with reasonable promptness after determining to make such claim, to any one or more Indemnifying Parties. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify any one or more of the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve any relevant Indemnifying Party from any liability which he or it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement, except to the extent that such claim for indemnification involves the claim of a third party against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. If an Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 calendar days following receipt by it of such notice that such Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement and such Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
27
If an Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) With respect to third party claims:
(i) If the claim involves a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole cost, expense and ultimate liability regardless of the outcome, and through counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), to litigate, defend, settle or otherwise attempt to resolve such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to select counsel of its own choosing, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.
(ii) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment no such conflict exists, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, participate at its own expense in a defense of such Third Party Claim by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense unless (A) in the case where only money damages are sought, the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or (B) in the case where equitable relief is sought, the Indemnified Party elects to participate in and jointly control the defense thereof.
(iii) Whenever the Indemnifying Party controls the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise the matter subject to indemnification without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement includes a complete release of all Indemnified Parties as to the matters in dispute and relates solely to money damages. The Indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold consent to any settlement or compromise that requires its consent.
(iv) In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to timely defend, contest, or otherwise protect the Indemnified Party against any such claim or suit, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest, or otherwise protect against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof, and in such event, or in the case where the Indemnified Party jointly controls such claim or suit, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover its costs thereof from the Indemnifying Party, including attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such claim or suit or the compromise or settlement thereof.
28
(v) The Indemnified Party shall cooperate and provide such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with the defense of the matter subject to indemnification and in connection with recovering from any third parties amounts that the Indemnifying Party may pay or be required to pay by way of indemnification hereunder.
(d) The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder shall be computed without regard to any insurance recovery related to such losses.
(e) Delivery of the Escrow Shares shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants of the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement, other than with respect to breaches of representations and warranties contained in Section 0 of this Agreement, and any breaches of representations, warranties and covenants arising out of or related to the fraud or willful misconduct of any of the Principal Shareholders, Parent or Merger Sub.
13. Nature of Representations. All of the parties hereto are executing and carrying out the provisions of this Agreement in reliance solely on the representations, warranties and covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the other documents delivered at the Closing and not upon any representation warranty, agreement, promise or information, written or oral, made by the other party or any other person other than as specifically set forth herein.

(c) Board of Directors. After the Closing, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to identify a person that would qualify as an independent director for purposes of applicable securities law and any listing requirements and to secure his election to the Board of Directors of Parent.
