          (a) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

          (b) Company Common Stock. Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Company Common Stock as provided in Section 2.9.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option, warrant or other right to purchase Company Common Stock (each such right, a “Stock Option”), including but not limited to options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Company’s existing stock option plan (the “Company Stock Option Plan”), whether or not exercisable or vested, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled in consideration of a cash payment (the “Option Consideration”) equal to (a) the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Article II, over (y) the per share exercise price of such Stock Option, multiplied by (b) the number of unexercised shares subject to such Stock Option. All payments of Option Consideration shall be subject to applicable withholding. Stock Options with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration as adjusted and finally determined pursuant to this Article II will be cancelled without any consideration. Parent Americas shall reduce the aggregate Option Consideration paid to the holders of Stock Options based upon their respective All-Inclusive Pro Rata Percentage of the escrow holdback provided for in Section 2.8. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take or cause to be taken such actions as are required (including providing any necessary notices) to cause (i) the Company Stock Option Plan

to terminate as of the Effective Time and (ii) the provisions in any other Plan providing for the issuance, transfer or grant of any capital stock of Company or any interest in respect of any capital stock of Company to be deleted as of the Effective Time. All administrative and other rights and authorities granted under any Plan to the Company, the Board of Directors or any committee or designee thereof, shall, following the Effective Time, reside with the Surviving Corporation.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who demands and perfects such holder’s right for appraisal of such shares in accordance with the WBCL (“Dissenting Shares”), if any, shall not be converted into the Per Share Merger Consideration but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the WBCL. The Company shall provide the Company Shareholders with any notices required under the WBCL with respect to dissenter’s or appraisal rights arising under the WBCL and shall give Parent and Parent Americas prompt notice of any demand received by the Company to require the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent and Parent Americas shall have the right to direct and participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand. The Company agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Parent and Parent Americas, or as required under the WBCL, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such purchase demand. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the WBCL, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for shares of Company Common Stock shall receive payment therefor (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, Parent Americas shall issue and/or deliver, upon surrender by such shareholder of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock, the Per Share Merger Consideration to which such shareholder would otherwise be entitled under this Section 2.6.

          (f) Allocation of Per Share Merger Consideration. At least five days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent and Parent Americas a draft of the Allocation Certificate, and shall provide a final Allocation Certificate, signed by its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer at the Closing. Parent and Parent Americas shall be entitled to rely on such final Allocation Certificate in connection with the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.9.

The Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the specific items and/or amounts that it disagrees with, and the basis for the disagreement. Any failure to deliver a valid Notice of Disagreement on or prior to the Notice of Disagreement Deadline shall constitute the Shareholder Representative’s approval of (i) the Final Average Net Working Capital as set forth in either the Final Adjustment Balance Sheet or the Final Statement of Net Working Capital and (ii) the Final Average Deferred Revenue, as set forth in the Final Deferred Revenue Statement. The Notice of Disagreement shall not be subject to any further amendment or revision after the Notice of Disagreement Deadline.

If Parent and Parent Americas, on the one hand, and the Shareholder

Representative, on the other hand, are unable to resolve the disagreement within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Response Notice, then Parent Americas and the Shareholder Representative shall select a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized independent accounting firm (such accounting firm being hereinafter referred to as the “Independent Accountant”) to resolve the disputed items and make a determination with respect thereto. Such determination will be made, and written notice thereof given to Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholder Representative within thirty (30) days after such selection or as soon as such Independent Accountant can practically make its determination. The determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto. The scope of such firm’s engagement (which shall not be an audit) shall be limited to the resolution of the items contained in the Notice of Disagreement, the Response Notice (if any) and the recalculation, if any, of the Final Adjustment Balance Sheet, the Final Average Net Working Capital, the Final Deferred Revenue Statement or the Final Average Deferred Revenue, as applicable, in accordance with GAAP and the Balance Sheet Rules in light of such resolution. The Independent Accountants shall not consider any other submissions and may not receive or take any testimony (oral or otherwise) on any such disagreements but may make such inquiries of the parties as it deems necessary. The fees, costs and expenses of Parent Americas in connection with the preparation of the Final Adjustment Balance Sheet, the Final Statement of Net Working Capital and the Final Deferred Revenue Statement shall be borne by Parent Americas. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant, if any, selected in accordance with this Section 2.7(e) shall be shared equally by Parent Americas, on the one hand, and the Shareholder Representative, for and on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders, on the other hand. The amount of any fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant for which the Company Shareholders are responsible may be paid to Parent Americas by releasing such amount from the Escrow Funds; provided, however, that the right to release any such amounts from the Escrow Funds shall be subordinated to any claim that Parent Americas may have with respect to the Escrow Funds.

          (f) If the Final Average Net Working Capital is (i) greater than the Estimated Average Net Working Capital, the Aggregate Merger Consideration will be deemed increased by such excess and the Per Share Merger Consideration will be increased by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such excess amount by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock (determined by adding (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time, plus (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Stock Options as of the Closing Date, determined using the Treasury Method, after giving effect to such increase in the Per Share Merger Consideration contemplated by this Section 2.7(f)), outstanding on the Closing Date and the Parent Americas shall pay the Shareholder Representative, for and on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options who are entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(d) to be distributed based on their respective All- Inclusive Pro Rata Percentage in accordance with an updated Allocation Certificate delivered by the Shareholder Representative, the amount of such excess, plus interest on such amount from the Closing Date until the date of payment of such amount calculated at the Applicable Rate, in cash within ten (10) days of the final determination of the Final Average Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.7(e) or (ii) is less than the Estimated Average Net Working Capital, the Effective Time Company Shareholders and holders of Stock Options shall pay Parent Americas the amount of such shortfall, plus interest on such amount from the Closing Date until the date of payment of such amount calculated at the Applicable Rate, by directing that amount to be released from the cash

being held in escrow as contemplated under Section 2.8 hereof within ten (10) days of the final determination of the Final Average Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.7(e).

          (g) If the Final Average Deferred Revenue is greater than the Estimated Average Deferred Revenue, the Aggregate Merger Consideration will be deemed decreased by such excess and the Per Share Merger Consideration will be decreased by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such excess amount by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock (determined by adding (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time, plus (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Stock Options as of the Closing Date, determined using the Treasury Method, after giving effect to such decrease in the Per Share Merger Consideration contemplated by this Section 2.7(g)), outstanding on the Closing Date and the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options shall pay Parent Americas the amount of such excess, plus interest on such amount from the Closing Date until the date of payment of such amount calculated at the Applicable Rate, by directing that amount to be released from the cash being held in escrow as contemplated under Section 2.8 hereof within ten (10) days of the final determination of the Final Average Deferred Revenue pursuant to Section 2.7(e).

Each Effective Time Company Shareholder shall be deemed to be contributing its respective Pro Rata Percentage of the Indemnity Escrow Fund as specified in the Allocation Certificate and, for the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent Americas (as the owner of Excluded Shares) nor any holder of Stock Options (other than the Board Optionholders) shall contribute any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund;

          (b) $3,100,000.00 of the Aggregate Merger Consideration (and, consequently, a pro rata portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration) to be paid to the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(b) and Section 2.6(d) shall not be distributed to such Effective Time Company Shareholders or holders of Stock Options but shall instead be deposited by Parent Americas with the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent solely for the payment of any shortfall amounts by the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement (the “Adjustment Escrow Fund”) for the time periods specified in the Cash Escrow Agreement, and distributed in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Effective Time Company Shareholder and each holder of a Stock Option entitled to receive the Per Share Merger

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.8(b), the difference between (x) $3,100,000 and (y) all amounts payable to Parent Americas out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds pursuant to Sections 2.7(f) and/or 2.7(g) of this Agreement shall be released to the Shareholder Representative to be distributed to the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration based on their respective All-Inclusive Pro Rata Percentage in accordance with the Allocation Certificate, upon the final determination of the Final Average Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.7(e); and

          (c) $200,000 of the Aggregate Merger Consideration (and, consequently, a pro rata portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration) to be paid to the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(b) and Section 2.6(d) shall not be distributed to such Effective Time Company Shareholders or holders of Stock Options entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration but shall instead be deposited by Parent Americas with the Escrow Agent, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent and be available solely to pay the fees and expenses incurred or charged by the Shareholder Representative in accordance with Article III of this Agreement (the “Expense Fund” and, together with the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Adjustment Escrow Fund, collectively, the “Escrow Fund”) for the time periods specified in the Cash Escrow Agreement, and distributed in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Effective Time Company Shareholder and each holder of a Stock Option entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be deemed to be contributing its respective All-Inclusive Pro Rata Percentage of the Expense Fund as specified in the Allocation Certificate and, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent Americas (as the owner of Excluded Shares) shall not contribute any portion of the Expense Fund or have any rights or claims with respect thereto.

     Section 2.9 Payment for Company Common Stock and Stock Options.

          (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent Americas shall make available to a bank or trust company designated by Parent Americas and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) sufficient funds to make the payments pursuant to Section 2.6(b) hereof on a timely basis to Effective Time Company Shareholders (other than holders of Excluded Shares) that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time minus the amount of the Escrow Funds allocable to the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options pursuant to Section 2.8 (such amounts being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Paying Agent shall make the payments provided for in the preceding sentence out of the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose, except as provided in this Agreement. Parent Americas shall pay all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent.

          (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time but in no event later than 10 Business Days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Effective Time Company Shareholder, as of the Effective Time, of an outstanding certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”), a form of letter of transmittal (each a “Letter of

Transmittal”) which shall, among other things, (A) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, (B) expressly appoint the Shareholder Representative in the capacity set forth in this Agreement, and the Cash Escrow Agreement, (C) include an acknowledgment by each Effective Time Company Shareholder that the indemnification provisions and procedures in this Agreement and the Cash Escrow Agreement are binding on such Effective Time Company Shareholder, (D) include a customary release of claims against Parent and Parent Americas, the Company, the Shareholder Representative and the Surviving Corporation, including a release with respect to the allocation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration among the Effective Time Company Shareholders, (E) shall contain such other provisions as Parent Americas or the Shareholder Representative may reasonably specify and (F) contain customary instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate and receiving payment therefor. Following surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with such Letter of Transmittal duly executed and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall promptly be paid in exchange therefor cash in an amount (subject to any applicable withholding tax as specified in Section 2.12 hereof and subject to pro rata reduction for the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 2.8) equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration, and each such Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender of the Certificates. If payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment (A) pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or (B) establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. From and after the Effective Time and until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3(b), each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall represent for all purposes solely the right to receive, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Per Share Merger Consideration in cash multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock evidenced by such Certificate.

          (c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time but in no event later than 10 Business Days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder, as of the Effective Time, of Stock Options entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(d) of this Agreement (other than Board Optionholders), a form of letter of transmittal (each a “Stock Option Letter of Transmittal”) which shall, among other things, (A) include a customary release of claims against Parent, Parent Americas, the Shareholder Representative, the Company and the Surviving Corporation, (B) contain such other provisions as Parent Americas may reasonably specify and (C) contain customary instructions for use in effecting the cancellation of such Stock Options and the receipt of payment by the holders of Stock Options who are entitled to receive payment therefor pursuant to Section 2.6(d) of this Agreement. Following delivery to the Paying Agent of the Stock Option Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Stock Options, if entitled to receive payment for such Stock Options pursuant to Section 2.6(d), shall promptly be paid in cash for such Stock Options as set forth in Section 2.6(d) (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.7, any applicable withholding tax as specified in Section 2.12 and a holdback for such holder’s Pro Rata Percentage or All-Inclusive Pro Rata

Percentage, as applicable, of the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 2.8.) From and after the Effective Time, each Stock Option shall represent for all purposes solely the right to receive, the payment (if any) set forth in Section 2.6(d) of this Agreement.

          (d) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will deliver in exchange for such affidavit, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration (less the pro rata amount of the Escrow Funds) with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate.

          (e) Any portion of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent to pay for shares of Company Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent Americas upon demand. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the former shareholders of the Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be repaid to Parent Americas. Any Effective Time Company Shareholder or holders of Stock Options immediately prior to the Effective Time who have not complied with Sections 2.9(b) and (c) and this Section 2.9(e) hereof prior to the end of such one (1) year period shall thereafter look only to Parent Americas (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law) but only as general creditors thereof for payment of their claim for the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Neither Parent, Parent Americas, the Shareholder Representative, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent, shall be liable to any Effective Time Company Shareholders or holders of Stock Options immediately prior to the Effective Time for any monies delivered from the Payment Fund or otherwise to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

     Section 2.10 Adjustments. If during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur, by reason of (x) any reclassification, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of such shares of Company Common Stock, or (y) any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Per Share Merger Consideration and Option Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted; provided, however, that the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall not be adjusted other than pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof.

     Section 2.11 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock or Stock Options. The Per Share Merger Consideration and Option Consideration delivered upon the surrender for exchange of each share of Company Common Stock or Stock Options, respectively, in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to each such shares of Company Common Stock or Stock Options, as the case may be, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock or Stock Options, as the case may be, which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

     Section 2.12 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent Americas shall be entitled, or shall be entitled to cause the Paying Agent, to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Stock Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent Americas or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Effective Time Company Shareholder or the holder of Stock Options, as the case may be, in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent Americas or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

ARTICLE III

SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

     Section 3.1 Shareholder Representative.

          (a) Appointment of Shareholder Representative. Upon approval of the Merger by the Company Shareholders, each of the Effective Time Company Shareholders and each holder of Stock Options shall be deemed to have constituted and appointed, effective from and after the date of such approval of the Merger, Ralph Bouma, Jr. as agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Shareholder Representative”) of such Effective Time Company Shareholders and holders of Stock Options to act as the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1, the Cash Escrow Agreement. By its execution and delivery of the signature page hereof, the Shareholder Representative hereby accepts the foregoing appointment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.1. In the event of the resignation, removal, death or incapacity of the Shareholder Representative, a successor shall thereafter be appointed by an instrument in writing signed by the Effective Time Company Shareholders who immediately prior to the Effective Time held a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Majority Shareholders”), and such appointment shall become effective as to any such successor when a copy of such instrument shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent, Parent and Parent Americas. The Shareholder Representative may be removed at any time by action of the Majority Shareholders.

          (b) Authority. The Shareholder Representative is hereby fully authorized by this Section 3.1 to:

               (v) negotiate and compromise any disputes with respect to the merger consideration adjustment; and

               (vi) take such other action as the Shareholder Representative may deem appropriate, including, without limitation:

                    (A) agreeing to any modification or amendment of the Cash Escrow Agreement and executing and delivering an agreement of such modification or amendment;

                    (B) taking any actions required or permitted under the Cash Escrow Agreement to protect or enforce the Effective Time Company Shareholders’ and holders of Stock Options rights thereunder; and

                    (C) all such other matters as the Shareholder Representative may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and to carry out his duties hereunder, the Cash Escrow Agreement, including the engagement of agents, consultants, attorneys and accountants; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, all fees and expenses associated with engagement of any such agent, consultant, attorney or accountant shall be paid by the Shareholder Representative and not by Parent or Parent Americas.

          (c) Extent and Survival of Authority. The appointment of the Shareholder Representative is an agency coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, and any action properly taken by the Shareholder Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 3.1 or under the Cash Escrow Agreement shall be binding on each of the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from such Effective Time Company Shareholders or holders of Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, as between Parent or Parent Americas on the one hand, and the Shareholder Representative, the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options, on the other hand, it is expressly agreed that the Shareholder Representative shall have the full right and authority to act on behalf of and bind all of the Effective Time Company Shareholders and all of the holders of Stock Options to the extent and as to the matters specified herein, and Parent, Parent Americas and Escrow Agent shall be permitted to rely on any notice, decision or other action taken by (or omitted by) the Shareholder Representative in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing under this Section 3.1 and Parent, Parent Americas and Escrow Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Effective Time Company Shareholder or any

holder of a Stock Option in taking any action (or omitting to take any action) in reasonable reliance on any notice, decision or other action taken or omitted by the Shareholder Representative.

          (d) Limitation of Liability; Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

               (i) The Shareholder Representative will have no liability to any Effective Time Company Shareholder, holder of Stock Options or to any other Person (other than Parent) with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Shareholder Representative, except that the foregoing shall not relieve the Shareholder Representative of any liability to any Effective Time Company Shareholder, holder of Stock Options or to any other Person with respect to any action which is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Representative and, in each case, subject to clause (ii) below.

               (ii) In no event will the Shareholder Representative be responsible for any punitive, consequential, incidental or special damages, including loss of revenue or income, diminution in value, business interruption, cost of capital or loss of business reputation or opportunity whatsoever arising out of this Agreement, even if the Shareholder Representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing shall apply regardless of the negligence or other fault of any party and regardless of whether such liability arises in contract, negligence, tort, strict liability or any other theory of liability.

               (iii) Each Effective Time Company Shareholder and each holder of a Stock Option hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholder Representative, its directors, officers and stockholders, and the Affiliates of any of such directors, officers and stockholders (the “Shareholder Representative Parties”), from any Losses that a Shareholder Representative Party may suffer or incur in connection with the performance of the Shareholder Representative’s duties and obligations in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, except to the extent such actions are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Shareholder Representative. The Shareholder Representative may at its own cost and expense (to be funded from the Expense Fund), consult with legal counsel in the event of disputes or questions as to the construction of any provisions hereunder or any provisions of any of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party or his or her duties hereunder or thereunder and shall have no liability and be fully protected if acting in good faith on the advice of such counsel.

Concurrently with the filing of notifications under the HSR Act or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Company and Parent and Parent Americas shall each request early termination of the HSR Act waiting period.

               (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other covenant herein contained, in connection with the receipt of any necessary approvals under the HSR Act, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be entitled or required to divest or hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits Parent’s and Parent Americas’ freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, the Company’s assets, without Parent’s and Parent Americas’ prior written consent.

               (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other covenant herein contained, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Parent and Parent Americas or the Company (i) to divest or hold separate any assets or agree to limit its future activities, method or place of doing business, (ii) to commence any litigation against any entity in order to facilitate the consummation of any of the Transactions, (iii) to defend against any litigation brought by any Governmental Entity seeking to prevent the consummation of, or impose limitations on, any of the Transactions or (iv) agree to any conditions relating to, or changes or restriction in, the operations of any such asset or

               (a) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent and Parent Americas, and Parent and Parent Americas shall give prompt notice to the Company, upon any director or officer of the Company or Parent and Parent Americas (as applicable) becoming aware of (i) any governmental complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), or the institution or the threat of material litigation involving such party or any of its Subsidiaries, and will keep the other party fully informed of such events and (ii) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, that would be reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII not to be satisfied.

               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in this Section 6.4 shall require the Company or Parent and Parent Americas to disclose any information that, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) it is not legally permitted to disclose or the disclosure of which would contravene any Applicable Law or binding order (including any Antitrust Law), (ii) the disclosure of which would jeopardize any attorney client or other legal privilege, or (iii) the disclosure of which would conflict with, violate or cause a default under any existing agreement to which it is a party.

               (c) No information received pursuant to an investigation made under Section 6.2 shall be deemed to (i) qualify, modify, amend or otherwise affect any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered to other party in connection with the Transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) amend or otherwise supplement the information set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, (iii) limit or restrict the remedies available to the parties under Applicable Law arising out of a breach of this Agreement, or (iv) limit or restrict the ability of either party to invoke or rely on the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Article VIII hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may, to the extent failure to do so would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the fiduciary obligations of the Company Board under Applicable Law, as determined in good faith by the Company Board (acting by a majority of the entire board) after consultation with its independent financial advisor and based upon the opinion of outside counsel, in response to a Superior Proposal that did not result from a breach by the Company of this Section 6.5, and subject to compliance with Section 6.5(c), (x) furnish information with respect to the Company to the person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to a confidentiality or standstill agreement not more favorable to such other party than the Confidentiality Agreement and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with such person and its Representatives regarding any Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees that any breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.5 by any Company Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or any Representative of the Company shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company of this Section 6.5.

               (b) Unless the Company terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(b)(ii) simultaneously with the execution of a definitive agreement for a Superior Proposal, neither the Company nor the Board of Directors or any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent and Parent Americas, the approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of this Agreement, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) authorize the Company to enter into any agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

               (c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth elsewhere in this Section 6.5, the Company shall immediately (and no later than 48 hours) advise Parent and Parent Americas orally (with such oral advice to be promptly confirmed in writing) of any request for information or of any inquiry with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and the material terms and conditions of such request, inquiry or Acquisition Proposal. The Company will promptly keep Parent and Parent Americas informed of the status and details (including amendments or changes or proposed amendments or changes) of any such request, inquiry or Acquisition Proposal.

               (d) The Company shall, and shall direct its representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated all solicitation, activity, discussions and negotiations that commenced prior to the date of this Agreement with any Persons (other than Parent and Parent

Americas or any of their affiliates or associates) regarding any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.

               (e) The Company shall promptly request in writing that each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement at any time on or after January 1, 2002 in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company (other than Parent and Parent Americas or any of their Affiliates) or any portion thereof return to the Company all materials containing confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company, or present the Company with reasonable evidence that those materials have been destroyed (to the extent destruction of such materials is permitted by such confidentiality agreement) and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such materials returned or destroyed (to the extent destruction of such materials is required by such confidentiality agreement).

          Section 6.6 Employee Matters.

               (a) Following the Effective Time, Parent Americas shall cause service performed by current employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (“Company Employees”) for the Company and its Subsidiaries (and any predecessor entities) to be taken into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting, and for purposes of determining severance, vacation and other paid time off entitlements, under the benefit plans of Parent Americas and its Subsidiaries in which Company Employees participate to the extent such service was credited by the Company and Company Subsidiaries under similar Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.6(a) shall be construed to require crediting of service that would result in (i) duplication of benefits, (ii) service credit for benefit accruals under a defined benefit pension plan or for employer contributions under a defined contribution pension plan, or (iii) service credit under a newly established plan for which prior service is not taken into account.

               (b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent Americas shall (i) cause to be waived any pre-existing condition limitations under welfare benefit plans, policies or practices of Parent Americas or its Subsidiaries in which Company Employees participate, to the extent that any such pre-existing condition limitation was not preventing a Company Employee from participating in a similar Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) cause to be credited any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such employees and their beneficiaries and dependents during the portion of the calendar year prior to participation in the benefit plans provided by Parent Americas and its Subsidiaries, to the extent that any such deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses had been credited under a similar Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.

               (c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors shall adopt resolutions (i) terminating the Firstlogic, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) effective prior to the Effective Date, and (ii) approving amendments to the 401(k) Plan that prohibit any distribution from the 401(k) Plan (other than a distribution made to a participant in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Plan following his or her termination of employment prior to receipt by the Company of a written determination from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the termination of each such plan does not adversely affect its prior tax-qualified status). The Company agrees to provide Parent and Parent Americas and their respective counsel with copies of the Board of Directors resolutions effecting the amendment and termination of the 401(k) Plan, prior to their adoption or execution.

          Section 6.7 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

               (a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective articles of organization or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification agreements of the Company (as each is in effect on the date hereof), the existence of which does not constitute a breach of this Agreement, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, as of the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and Parent Americas shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor all such rights for a period of not less than six years after the Effective Time.

               (b) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, or otherwise dissolves the Surviving Corporation, then, and in each such case, Parent Americas shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

               The Surviving Corporation shall, at its option, either (i) maintain for a period of not less than six years after the Effective Time, the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time (“D&O Insurance”) with respect to those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s D&O Insurance on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof or (ii) cause to be provided coverage no less favorable to such directors or officers, as the case may be, than the D&O Insurance, in each case so long as the annual premium therefor would not be in excess of 250% of the last annual premium paid for the D&O Insurance prior to the date of this Agreement (such 250% amount, the “Maximum Premium”). If the existing or substituted D&O Insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during such six-year period, the Surviving Corporation will obtain as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum Premium. At the option of Parent Americas, Parent Americas may assume the obligations of the Surviving Corporation set forth in Sections 6.7(a) and (b), and thereafter neither Parent Americas nor Surviving Corporation shall have any further obligations pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) for so long as Parent Americas satisfies the obligations of the Surviving Corporation.

               (c) The provisions of this Section 6.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise.

          Section 6.8 Litigation. The Company shall give Parent and Parent Americas the opportunity to participate at its expense in the defense of any litigation against the Company or any Company Subsidiary and/or their respective directors relating to the Transactions.

          Section 6.9 Termination of Agreements. The Company shall cause all provisions of all purchase agreements, shareholder agreements, registration rights agreements, investors’ rights agreements, co-sale agreements, rights of first refusal and similar agreements between any shareholder of the Company and the Company to terminate and be of no further force and effect upon consummation of the Merger. A list of all of such agreements is set forth on Section 6.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

          Section 6.10 Resignation of Directors and Officers. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each member of its Board of Directors and each officer to execute and deliver a letter effectuating his or her resignation as a director of such Board or an officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.

          Section 6.11 General Cooperation. From the date hereof through the Closing, the Company will use its good faith efforts to operate the Business in such a manner as to achieve a smooth transition consistent with the mutual business interests of the Company, Parent and Parent Americas. In this regard, the Company, Parent and Parent Americas agree that they will enter into good faith discussions concerning the Business, including, but not limited to, personnel policies and procedures, and other operational matters relating to the Company’s business.

               (e) promptly notify Parent and Parent Americas of any federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise and any other suit, claim, action, investigation, proceeding or audit (collectively, “Actions”) pending against or with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary in respect of any Tax matter, including (without limitation) Tax liabilities and refund claims, and not settle or compromise any such Tax matter or Action without Parent’s and Parent Americas’ consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld;

               (f) not make or revoke any election with regard to Taxes or file any amended Tax Returns without the consent of Parent and Parent Americas, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless required by Applicable Law; and

               (g) not make any change in any Tax or accounting methods or systems of internal accounting controls (including procedures with respect to the payment of accounts payable and collection of accounts receivable), except as may be appropriate to conform to or comply with changes in Tax laws or regulatory accounting requirements or GAAP.

          Section 6.13 Shareholder Meeting.

               (a) The Company shall, as promptly as practicable, take all steps necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of voting on (i) the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions, and (ii) the appointment of the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement and the Cash Escrow Agreement (the ‘Company Shareholder Proposal”) on or prior to thirty (30) days from the date hereof (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”).

               (c) Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the parties hereto, the Company shall prepare and distribute to all shareholders of the Company the Information Statement, subject to the review of the Parent and Parent Americas.

               (d) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Company Shareholders holding at least ninety-seven percent (97%) of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (computed on an as-converted, as exercised Company Common Stock equivalent basis) to vote in favor of the Company Shareholder Proposal.

                    (i) Any materials to be submitted to the Company Shareholders in connection with the solicitation of their approval of the Merger and this Agreement, including any amendments or supplements to the Information Statement (the “Soliciting Materials”), shall be subject to review and approval by Parent and Parent Americas and shall include the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company in favor of the Company Shareholder Proposal and, if applicable, the Section 280G Payments, notwithstanding, the Company shall not include in the Soliciting Materials any information with respect to Parent and Parent Americas or their Affiliates or Associates, unless the form and content of which shall have been consented to in writing by Parent and Parent Americas prior to such inclusion. The Company will promptly advise Parent and Parent Americas in writing if at any time prior to the Closing the Company shall obtain knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary or appropriate to amend or supplement the Soliciting Materials in order to make statements contained or incorporated by reference therein not misleading or to comply with applicable law. Parent and Parent Americas will promptly advise the Company in writing if at any time prior to the Closing Parent and Parent Americas shall obtain knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary or appropriate to amend or supplement the information regarding Parent, Parent Americas or Merger Sub provided in writing by Parent, Parent Americas or Merger Sub to the Company for the express purpose of including in any documents mailed, delivered or otherwise furnished to stockholders by the Company in connection with the solicitation of their consent to this Agreement and the Merger in order to make statements contained or incorporated by reference therein not misleading or to comply with applicable Law.

prior thereto regarding the timing, scope and content of any such press release or public statement, and provided, further, no such consultation shall be required to make any disclosure or otherwise take any action expressly permitted by Section 6.3.

          Section 6.15 Financial Statements and Consents of Accountants. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause its management and its independent auditors to facilitate on a timely basis (i) the preparation of financial statements (including pro forma financial statements if required) as required by Parent to comply with applicable SEC regulations, (ii) the reasonable review of any Company audit or review work papers for up to the past three (3) years, including the examination of selected financial statements and data and (iii) the delivery of such representations from the Company’s independent accountants as may be reasonably requested by Parent of its independent auditors in connection with the preparation of the any filings the Parent is required to make with the SEC.

          Section 7.1 Tax Return Filings. Parent and Parent Americas shall, or shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, timely prepare and file with the relevant Taxing Authorities all Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries the due date for filing of which, determined taking into account extensions, is after the Closing Date. Any such return for a straddle or pre-closing period shall be provided to the Shareholder Representative at least 45 days prior to the due date (or such shorter period as can be reasonably provided) and shall not be filed without the Shareholder Representative’s prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that failure to respond within 30 days shall be deemed consent.

               (b) Straddle Periods. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”):

                    (i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall equal the Property Taxes for such Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period taking into account any change in the base on which the Taxes are computed; and

                    (ii) the Taxes of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; provided, that any extraordinary transaction, including any election under Section 338 of the Code occurring after the Closing shall be deemed to occur the date after the Closing Date.

                    (iii) “Straddle Period Taxes” shall mean Taxes for a Straddle Period.

               (c) Any indemnity payment to be made under this Section 7.2 shall be paid within ten (10) days after the indemnified party makes written demand upon the indemnifying party, but in no case earlier than 5 business days prior to the date on which the relevant Taxes are required to be paid to the relevant Taxing Authority (including as estimated Tax payments).

               (d) All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Article VII shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the indemnified party.

          Section 7.4 Tax Sharing Agreements. The Shareholder Representative shall cause any and all Tax sharing agreements between (i) any party other than the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), and (ii) the Company or any Company Subsidiary, to be terminated on or before the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, no party shall have any rights or obligations under any such Tax sharing agreements.

          Section 7.5 Calculation of Losses. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VII shall be net of any amounts recoverable by the indemnified party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax Cost to the indemnified party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax Benefit realized by the indemnified party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless, and then only to the extent, otherwise required by a Final Determination.

          Section 7.6 Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Tax Claims.

               (a) Notice. If a claim shall be made by any Taxing Authority or any other Person with respect to Taxes for which the Company shareholders are liable pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to any Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.2(a), Parent or Parent Americas shall promptly notify the Shareholder Representative in writing of such claim (a “Tax Claim”). In addition each such notice from Parent or Parent Americas regarding a Tax Claim must include a certification by an authorized employee of Parent or Parent Americas that either (x) the amount of the Loss (or possible Loss) relating to such Tax Claim has been reduced or offset by all or a portion of the tax carryforward credit described on Section 7.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Carryforward Credit”) or (y) the Carryforward Credit did not reduce or offset Tax liability of the Company. Failure to give notice of a Tax Claim to the Shareholder Representative within a sufficient period of time to allow the Shareholder Representative to contest such Tax Claim shall affect the liability of the Effective Time Company Shareholders to any Parent Indemnitee only to the extent that such contest is precluded as a result of such failure. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax liability and shall include copies of the relevant portion of any notice or other document received from any Governmental Entity or any other Person in respect of such asserted Tax liability.

               (b) Control of Proceedings. The Shareholder Representative shall control all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and may make all decisions in connection with such Tax Claim, provided, however, that (A) Parent or Parent Americas and counsel of their own choosing shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of the prosecution or defense of such Tax Claim, (B) the Shareholder Representative shall not settle any such Tax Claim without prior written consent of Parent and Parent Americas, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (C) the Shareholder Representative, Parent and Parent Americas shall jointly control all proceedings relating to Straddle Period Taxes. Parent and Parent Americas shall control all proceedings with respect to all other Tax Claims; provided, that if a settlement by Parent or Parent Americas of any such Tax claim would trigger an indemnification obligation by the Effective Time Company Shareholders, then the Shareholder Representative shall be consulted in connection with such settlement.

          Section 7.7 Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement shall be borne by the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the Effective Time Company Shareholders shall indemnify Parent and Parent Americas on an after-Tax basis for any such Taxes incurred by Parent and Parent Americas as a result of the Effective Time Company Shareholders’ failure timely to pay such Taxes.

          Section 7.8 FIRPTA Certificate. Either the Company or each Effective Time Company Shareholder shall deliver to Parent and Parent Americas at or prior to the Closing a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and Parent Americas and consistent with applicable Treasury Regulations certifying that no withholding of Tax pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code is required to be made by Parent or Parent Americas.

          Section 7.9 Amended Returns and Settlements. No amended Tax return shall be filed and no claim or assessment for Taxes shall be settled or agreed to without the Shareholder Representative’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or unless required by law, if the effect of such filing or settlement is to increase the indemnification obligations of the Effective Time Company Shareholders under Section 7.2.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 10.1 Survival of Certain Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

               (a) All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of the parties contained in Section 4.2 (Capital Structure; Subsidiaries), 4.3 (Authorization; Validity of Agreement), 4.15 (Environmental Matters), 4.22 (Employee Benefit Plans), 4.30 (Brokers) and Section 4.23 (Tax Matters) (collectively, the “Specified Representations”) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and they shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. All covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for their respective periods set forth herein, unless otherwise indicated herein.

               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the period of time that a provision survives the Closing and remains in full force and effect pursuant to Section 10.1(a) (the “Survival Period”) shall automatically be extended to include any time period necessary to resolve a specific claim for indemnification which was made before expiration of the Survival Period but not resolved prior to its expiration; provided, however, that any such extension shall apply only as to claims asserted and not so resolved within the original Survival Period.

          Section 10.2 Indemnification by the Effective Time Company Shareholders. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,

Section 10.5), upon and by virtue of the approval of the Company Shareholder Proposal by the Company Shareholders, each Effective Time Company Shareholder, severally and not jointly based on their respective Pro Rata Percentage (regardless of whether or not any such Effective Time Company Shareholder has actually voted his, her or its shares of Company Common Stock in favor of the Merger), shall be deemed to have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold the Parent Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses directly or indirectly based upon, arising out of, resulting from or relating to:

                    (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or any Company Subsidiary contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Employment Agreements and the Consulting Agreements);

                    (ii) any breach of any agreement, covenant or obligation of the Company or any Company Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Employment Agreements and the Consulting Agreements);

                    (iii) any claims made by any Company Shareholder arising out of actions, omissions or other conduct prior to the Effective Time, whether based upon any alleged breach of fiduciary or other duty by any officer, director or Company Shareholder in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Employment Agreements and the Consulting Agreements) or the Transactions, or any claims by any officer, director or holder of Company Common Stock to indemnification by the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any such claims; provided, that, the foregoing shall not include any claims made by any holder of Dissenting Shares under the WBCL;

                    (iv) any Excluded Liability;

                    (v) any final court ordered or required payment per share of Company Common Stock by the Company or Parent Americas to a single holder of Dissenting Shares of 10% or more of the Company’s Common Stock (including any Affiliates of such holder) of amounts in excess of the Per Share Merger Consideration to which such holder of Dissenting Shares would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement; and

                    (vi) any payments (other than those reserved for in the Financial Statements) or other claims related to the termination and dissolution of the Firstlogic, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) or the applications to the Internal Revenue Service for a favorable determination letter on termination of the ESOP and any applicable compliance filings.

          Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced against the Effective Time Company Shareholders pursuant to this Section 10.2 unless written notice of such claim or action is received by the Shareholder Representative describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or action on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty (if applicable) on which such claim or action is based ceases to survive as set forth in

Section 10.1, irrespective of whether the subject matter of such claim or action shall have occurred before or after such date.

          Section 10.3 Indemnification by Parent and Parent Americas. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 10.5), Parent and Parent Americas shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses directly or indirectly based upon, arising out of, resulting from or relating to:

                    (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Parent, Parent Americas or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement;

                    (ii) any breach of any agreement, covenant or obligation of Parent, Parent Americas or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement; and

                    (iii) any claims by a Third Party to the extent arising out of the operation of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.

          Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 10.3 to the contrary, no claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced against Parent or Parent Americas pursuant to this Section 10.3 unless written notice of such claim or action is received by Parent and Parent Americas from the Shareholder Representative describing in detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or action on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty (if applicable) on which such claim or action is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 10.1, irrespective of whether the subject matter of such claim or action shall have occurred before or after such date.

          Section 10.4 Indemnification Procedures. (a) Any Company Indemnified Party or Parent Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall give to the party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitor”) written notice of any claim or matter which gives rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, promptly upon becoming aware of a fact, condition or event for which indemnification is provided under this Article X, but in any event within thirty (30) days after such Person has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure of an Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnitor of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the rights of any such Indemnitor. Any notice to be given by or to a Company Indemnified Party shall be made by or to the Shareholder Representative.

               (a) The Indemnitor shall have the right to control and direct, through counsel of its own choosing, the defense or settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding brought by a Person who is not a party or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”). The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense, but in such case the expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ, at Indemnitor’s expense, one counsel of its choice to represent the Indemnified Party, if the Indemnified Party is advised by its counsel that there may

exist an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnitor with access to its records and personnel relating to any Third Party Claim during normal business hours and shall otherwise cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in the defense or settlement thereof, and the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. If the Indemnitor elects to direct the defense of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall not pay, permit to be paid, or settle any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability, unless the Indemnitor consents in writing to such payment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or unless the Indemnitor, subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.4(b), withdraws from the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnitor is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. The Indemnitor will not settle any claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement would involve the imposition of equitable remedies or impose material obligations on the Indemnified Party other than financial obligations for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. If the Indemnitor shall fail to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, fails to prosecute or withdraws from the defense of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnitor’s expense. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claim or proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.4(b) and proposes to settle such claim or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forego appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnitor prompt written notice thereof, and the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claim or proceeding and to consent to any settlement thereof (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

          Section 10.5 Limitations. (a) After the Closing, except for remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of law, the enforcement of the indemnification provisions of this Article X shall be the exclusive remedy, other than in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, of the parties for any breach of any warranty, representation or covenant contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that such exclusivity shall not limit or restrict a party’s ability to obtain specific performance or injunctive relief.

               (b) In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a Third Party any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which an Indemnitor has indemnified it pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by the Indemnitor to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter, and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnitor in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

               (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.5, the Effective Time Company Shareholders shall have no liability or obligation in respect of indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(i) Section 10.2(iv) or Section 10.2(v) to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses incurred in respect of such indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(i), Section 10.2(iv) ) or Section 10.2(v), when all such Losses are aggregated together, are less than or equal to $500,000 (the “Basket Amount”); provided, that any liability or obligation in respect of indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(i) arising out of a Claim (as defined below) of fraud or willful misconduct or arising from a breach of Section 4.2, 4.3 or 4.23 (and for

the avoidance of doubt any other Losses arising out of any Tax Claim for which there shall be no Basket Amount applicable) shall not be subject to the Basket Amount. Thereafter, the Effective Time Company Shareholders shall be liable with respect to all Losses, including the Basket Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.5. Except for claims arising out of fraud or willful misconduct, the sole and exclusive means for any of the Parent Indemnified Parties to satisfy any Claim (as defined in the Cash Escrow Agreement) for indemnification during the first 18 months of the Survival Period shall be by delivering notice of a Claim to the Escrow Agent and the Shareholder Representative under the Cash Escrow Agreement and receiving payment from the Escrow Fund of the amount to which such Parent Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article X. From and after the first 18 months of the Survival Period, except for Claims arising out of fraud or willful misconduct or arising from a breach of Sections 4.2, 4.3 or 4.23 (and for the avoidance of doubt any other Losses arising out of any Tax Claim for which there shall be no cap on liability) of this Agreement, the Effective Time Company Shareholders shall not be obligated to pay any amounts in respect of indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(i) in connection with the breach of any Specified Representation in excess of an aggregate of the difference between (x) $8,400,000 less (y) any amounts paid to the Parent and Parent Americas for any indemnified Losses (other than any Losses arising from a breach of Section 4.23 or arising out of a Tax Claim) pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement. The Escrow Fund (including all accrued interest) shall be released to the Shareholder Representative in accordance with the Cash Escrow Agreement and distributed to the Effective Time Company Shareholders based on their respective Pro Rata Percentages in accordance with the Allocation Certificate, subject to the resolution of Claim(s) properly asserted prior to the end of the first 18 months of the Survival Period in accordance with the Cash Escrow Agreement to the extent of the Escrow Funds retained to satisfy such Claim(s). For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as applicable, any use of the word “material”, or “material adverse effect” or any variation of either one, will be measured with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as applicable, on a stand alone basis and with regard to the materiality to the Company, any Company Subsidiary or the Company Shareholders, as applicable, and not as part of Parent, Parent Americas or Parent’s consolidated group and not with regard to any materiality standard or threshold applicable to Parent, Parent Americas or Parent’s consolidated group.

               (d) Each of the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative hereby agrees that if, following the Closing, any payment is made pursuant to this Article X by any such Effective Time Company Shareholder in respect of any Loss (a “Loss Payment”), such Effective Time Company Shareholder shall have no rights against the Surviving Corporation, or any current or former director, officer or employee thereof (in their capacity as such and only to the extent such persons are entitled to indemnification from the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), whether by reason of contribution, indemnification, subrogation or otherwise, in respect of any such Loss Payment, and shall not take any action against the Surviving Corporation or any such Person with respect thereto. Any rights with respect to Loss Payments which any of the Effective Time Company Shareholder or the Shareholder Representative may, by operation of law or otherwise, have against the Surviving Corporation or any such Person shall, effective at the time of the Closing, be deemed to be hereby expressly and knowingly waived.

               (e) It is the intention of the parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the purchase price for all federal, state, local and foreign

Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly, except as otherwise required by a change in law or good faith resolution of conflict.

               (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the limitations provided for in this Section 10.5 shall not apply in respect of indemnification relating to Taxes.

          Section 10.6 Right to Bring Action. Notwithstanding anything in this Article X or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, only the Shareholder Representative shall have the right, power and authority to commence any action, suit or proceeding by and on behalf of any or all of the Effective Time Company Shareholders against Parent, Parent Americas or the Surviving Corporation, or any other Indemnified Party, and in no event shall any Effective Time Company Shareholder himself, herself or itself have the right to commence any action, suit or proceeding against Parent, Parent Americas or the Surviving Corporation, or any other Indemnified Party. Each Effective Time Company Shareholder waives, and acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which he, she or it may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

          Section 11.6 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof (including, without limitation, the Letter of Intent) and (b) are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and thereto.

          Section 11.7 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

          Section 11.8 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof, except to the extent that provisions of the WBCL are mandatorily applicable. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law that cannot be waived, each party hereby waives, and covenants that it will not assert (whether as plaintiff, defendant or otherwise), any right to trial by jury in any forum in respect of any issue, claim, demand, action or cause of action arising in whole or in part under, related to, based on or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether sounding in tort or contract or otherwise. Any party hereto may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 11.8 with any court as written evidence of the consent of each such party to the waiver of its right to trial by jury.

          Section 11.9 Enforcement; Venue. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance

with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the Transactions, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware.

          Section 11.10 Time of Essence. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

          Section 11.11 Extension; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

          Section 11.12 Election of Remedies. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise a right of set-off or to give notice of a claim under this Agreement will constitute an election of remedies or limit any of the Indemnified Parties in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to any of them, whether at law or in equity.

          Section 11.13 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Parent may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent.

Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Merger Agreement.

     B. Pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Merger Agreement, $11,700,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) is to be delivered to and deposited with the Escrow Agent by Parent Americas and held in an escrow fund (together with any interest earned on the Escrow Amount, the “Escrow Fund”) in order to secure the performance of the Company’s and the Effective Time Company Shareholders’ indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement.

     C. The Shareholders’ Representative has been appointed as agent for, and to act on behalf of, the Effective Time Company Shareholders to undertake certain obligations specified in the Merger Agreement.

     D. The parties hereto desire to set forth additional terms and conditions relating to the operation of the Escrow Fund.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted by the parties, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1. Escrow Fund.

          (a) Pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Parent Americas shall deposit the Escrow Amount, without any act of any Effective Time Company Shareholder or the Shareholder Representative, with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent agrees to accept delivery of the Escrow Amount and to hold such Escrow Amount in escrow subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

          (b) The Escrow Fund shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, be held as security for the indemnification obligations of the Effective Time Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 7.2 or Article X of the Merger Agreement and the payment of fees and expenses incurred or charged by the Shareholder Representative in accordance with Article III of the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be held and distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

     2. Rights and Obligations of the Parties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to such rights and shall perform such duties as escrow agent as set forth herein and as set forth in the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Duties”), in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to their respective rights and shall perform their respective duties and obligations as set forth herein and as set forth in the Merger Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

     3. Duties of Escrow Agent.

          (a) The Duties of the Escrow Agent shall include the following: the Escrow Agent shall (i) safeguard and treat the Escrow Fund as a trust fund in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall hold the Escrow Fund in a separate account, apart from any other funds or accounts of the Escrow Agent or any other Person and (ii) hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

          (b) Following the Closing, the Duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Amount may be altered, amended, modified or revoked only by a writing signed by the Parent or Parent Americas, the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders’ Representative.

     4. Permitted Investments; Other Adjustments; Etc.

          (a) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Amount in escrow and shall invest the Escrow Amount and any interest or income thereon only in Permitted Investments. “Permitted Investments” shall mean such investments consisting exclusively of one or more of the following upon receipt of written instruction from Parent or Parent Americas: direct obligations of the United States government having maturities of ninety (90) days or less, money market deposit accounts with United States banks, which may include the Escrow Agent, whose short-term debt ratings are not less than A-1/P-1, and money market funds that invest solely in direct obligations of the United States government. In the absence of specific written investment instructions, funds will be invested in the Escrow Agent’s Insured Money Market Account. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss incurred by the actions of third parties or by any loss arising by error, failure or delay in the making of an investment or reinvestment, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss of principal or income in connection therewith, unless such error, failure or delay results from the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. As and when the Escrow Amount and any interest or income thereon is to be released under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall cause the Permitted Investments to be converted into cash in accordance with its customary procedures and shall not be liable for any loss of principal or income in connection therewith. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss of principal or income due to the choice of Permitted Investments

in which the Escrow Amount is invested or the choice of Permitted Investments converted into cash pursuant to this Section 4.

          (b) The parties hereto agree that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of cash contained in the Escrow Fund shall be treated for Tax purposes as earned by the Effective Time Company Shareholders.

     5. Indemnification Claim Procedures During the Escrow Period.

          (a) Procedures with Respect to Claims.

               (i) Claims by Parent and Parent Americas. If, at any time and from time to time during the first 18 months of the Survival Period, a Parent Indemnified Party or Parent Indemnitee asserts any Claim in accordance with either Section 7.2 or Article X of the Merger Agreement, such Parent Indemnified Party or Parent Indemnitee shall give notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Shareholder Representative, with a copy to the Escrow Agent, specifying in reasonable detail (a) the factual basis for such Claim and (b) the amount of such Claim (the “Claimed Amount”).

               (ii) Response by the Shareholder Representative. Within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Shareholder Representative of any Claim Notice, the Shareholder Representative shall, by notice (a “Response Notice”) to Parent and Parent Americas, with a copy to the Escrow Agent, either (a) concede liability for the Claimed Amount specified therein in whole or (b) deny liability for the Claimed Amount specified therein in whole or in part (it being understood that any portion of the Claimed Amount for which the Shareholder Representative has not denied liability within such 20-day period shall be deemed to have been conceded). If the Shareholder Representative denies liability in whole or in part, then such Response Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the factual basis for such denial. If the Shareholder Representative fails to deliver a Response Notice within the aforesaid 20-day period, then the Shareholder Representative shall be deemed to have conceded the entire Claimed Amount. The portion of the Claimed Amount for which the Shareholder Representative has conceded or is deemed to have conceded liability pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) is referred to as the “Conceded Amount.” If the Shareholder Representative concedes liability for any portion of the Claimed Amount or fails to deliver a Response Notice within the aforementioned 20-day period, then Parent and Parent Americas shall instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly pay to Parent Americas (or to any affiliate of Parent Americas, if so directed by Parent and Parent Americas) the Conceded Amount and the Escrow Agent shall promptly pay such amount as directed.

               (iii) Resolutions of Disputes. If the Shareholder Representative has denied liability for the Claimed Amount, in whole or in part, then the Parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute as promptly as practicable but in any case within twenty (20) days of the date of receipt of the Response Notice. If Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholder Representative are able to resolve such dispute, then they shall promptly give notice (a “Settlement Notice”) to that effect to the Escrow Agent, which notice shall be signed by Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholder Representative. Such Settlement Notice shall instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly pay to Parent Americas (or to any affiliate of Parent Americas, if so directed by Parent and Parent Americas) the amount agreed by Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholder Representative in settlement of such dispute (the “Agreed Settlement Amount”). If

Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholder Representative are unable to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days after receipt by Parent and Parent Americas of the Response Notice corresponding to such dispute, then either Parent and Parent Americas or the Shareholder Representative may commence appropriate proceedings in accordance with Sections 11.8 and 11.9 of the Merger Agreement in order to obtain an award with respect to such dispute (an “Award”). In the event that any Award contains a finding of liability against the Effective Time Company Shareholders in a specified amount (the “Award Amount”), then Parent and Parent Americas shall give notice (an “Award Notice”) to the Escrow Agent and the Shareholder Representative (which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Award), instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent Americas (or to any affiliate of Parent Americas, if so directed by Parent and Parent Americas) such Award Amount from the Escrow Fund.

               (iv) Payment of Claims. As promptly as practicable (and in any event no more than two (2) Business Days following receipt of the relevant notice provided pursuant to this Section 5(a), the Escrow Agent shall pay to Parent Americas (or to any affiliate of Parent Americas, if so directed by Parent and Parent Americas) from the Escrow Fund, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the following amounts, as applicable:

                    (1) following any concession or deemed concession of liability for any Claimed Amount by the Shareholder Representative, the Conceded Amount;

                    (2) following the receipt by the Escrow Agent of any Settlement Notice, the Agreed Settlement Amount; and

                    (3) following receipt by the Escrow Agent of any Award Notice, the Award Amount.

               (v) Outstanding Claims. Any Claim Notice that is not resolved or disposed of pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv) (including any Claim Notice as to which any amount to which Parent Americas is entitled has not been distributed to Parent Americas) shall constitute an “Outstanding Claim.” Judgment upon any Award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

          (b) Other Distributions from the Escrow Fund.

               (i) Merger Consideration Adjustments. Under Section 2.7 of the Merger Agreement, payments may be required to be made by the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options to Parent Americas in respect of certain post-Closing adjustments to the Aggregate Merger Consideration. In such event, the Shareholder Representative, the Parent and Parent Americas shall give a joint written notice (an “Adjustment Notice”) to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay the amount of such post-Closing adjustments (the “Adjustment Amounts”) to the Aggregate Merger Consideration to Parent Americas (or to any affiliate of Parent Americas), if so directed by Parent and Parent Americas from the Escrow Fund within ten (10) days of the final determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital or within ten (10) days of the final determination of the Final Closing Date Deferred Revenue, as applicable. In no event shall the amounts paid by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 4(b)(i) exceed $3,100,000.

               (ii) Additional Release of Escrow Fund. As promptly as practicable following the final determination of the Final Closing Date Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Merger Agreement, Parent and Parent Americas shall give notice to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Shareholder Representative, for and on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(d) of the Merger Agreement, an amount which shall be equal to the difference (if any) between (x) $3,100,000 and (y) the Adjustment Amounts, from the Escrow Fund, to be distributed to the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options in accordance with the Allocation Certificate.

               (iii) Expenses of the Shareholder Representative. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Shareholder Representative may, by delivering a notice to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to Parent and Parent Americas) that certifies that the Shareholder Representative has incurred a fee or expense of the type that is reimbursable pursuant to Article III of the Merger Agreement or has charged a fee based upon his current hourly rate (and attaching reasonably detailed documentation as to such fees or expenses), direct that the Escrow Agent pay up to $200,000 in the aggregate of the Escrow Fund (the “Expense Fund”) for such expenses as directed by the Shareholder Representative. In no event shall (x) the amounts paid by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 5(b)(iii) exceed the amount of the Expense Fund or (y) any portion of the Expense Fund be paid by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Sections 5(a), 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii).

          (c) Notices. For purposes of the distributions contemplated by Sections 5(a) and 5(b), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent does not have any duty or obligation to verify or monitor the conditions precedent to the delivery of any Claim Notice, Award Notice, Adjustment Notice or any notice delivered pursuant to Sections 5(b)(ii) and 5(b)(iii).

          (d) Method of Distributions. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in either case as directed by the party to which such payment is being made.

     6. Distribution of Escrow Fund upon Termination.

          (a) As promptly as practicable after the first 18 months from the Closing Date (the “Distribution Date”), the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders, an amount equal to the value of the Escrow Fund minus the sum of the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Claims as of the Distribution Date in accordance with the Allocation Certificate. Thereafter the Escrow Agent:

               (i) upon receipt of a Settlement Notice with respect to an Outstanding Claim, shall promptly (i) pay to Parent Americas the Agreed Settlement Amount and (ii) distribute to the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Agreed Settlement Amount and the amount of such Outstanding Claim;

               (ii) upon receipt of a Award Notice with respect to an Outstanding Claim, shall promptly (i) pay to Parent Americas the Award Amount, if any, and (ii) distribute to

the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Award Amount and the amount of such Outstanding Claim;

               (iii) shall accumulate and distribute to the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders, any income, interest and dividends earned or accrued with respect to the Escrow Fund as soon as practicable following each September 30th, December 31st, March 31st and June 30th commencing after the delivery of a joint written notice from Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholder Representative (which joint written notice shall be delivered on the Initial Distribution Date);

               (iv) shall continue to make payments in the manner contemplated by this Section 6(a) until all Outstanding Claims have been resolved, at which time the Escrow Agent shall distribute any remaining funds in the Escrow Fund to the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders;

               (v) shall distribute any funds remaining in the Expense Fund as of the Distribution Date to the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders and the holders of Stock Options entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(d) of the Merger Agreement

               (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Escrow Agent shall distribute Escrow Property in accordance with and upon the joint written instructions of Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholder Representative.

          (b) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate as to the Escrow Fund and the Expense Fund upon the full distribution of the Escrow Fund and the Expense Fund pursuant to Sections 6(a)(iv) and 6(a)(v) above.

     7. Exculpatory Provisions.

          (a) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such Duties as are specifically set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement 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 forgeries or false impersonations. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as escrow agent except for gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall in no case or event be liable for any representations or warranties of the Company for punitive, incidental or consequential damages. Any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice or opinion of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of the good faith of the Escrow Agent.

          (b) In the event of a dispute between the parties hereto, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all notifications given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person, excepting only memoranda of agreement as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement and orders or process of courts of law as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement to which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely and shall distribute the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof, and is hereby expressly authorized to

comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court. 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 the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for thereunder or hereunder.

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

     8. Resignation and Removal of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign as Escrow Agent at any time with or without cause, with respect to the Escrow Fund by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to each of the Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholders’ Representative, such resignation to be effective thirty (30) days following the date such notice is given. In addition, the Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholders’ Representative may jointly remove the Escrow Agent as escrow agent at any time with or without cause, by an instrument executed by the Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholders’ Representative (which may be executed in counterparts) given to the Escrow Agent, which instrument shall designate the effective date of such removal. In the event of any such resignation or removal, a successor escrow agent, which shall be a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or of the State of California having (or if such bank or trust company is a member of a bank company, its bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000, shall be appointed by the Parent or Parent Americas on the terms of this Agreement with the written approval of the Shareholders’ Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any such successor escrow agent shall deliver to the Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholders’ Representative, a written instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon it shall succeed to all the rights and duties of the escrow agent hereunder and shall be entitled to receive possession of the Escrow Fund. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Fund then held hereunder to the successor Escrow Agent.

     9. Fees. Parent Americas shall pay the Escrow Agent such fees as are established by the Fee Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     10. Further Instruments. If the Escrow Agent reasonably requires other or further instruments in connection with its performance of the Duties, the necessary parties hereto shall join in furnishing such instruments.

     11. Disputes. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the cash and/or other property held by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to act in accordance with, and in reliance upon, the provisions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

     12. Indemnification. In consideration of the Escrow Agent’s acceptance of this appointment, Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Effective Time Company Shareholders and not individually, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless as to any liability incurred by it to any person, firm or corporation by reason of its having accepted such appointment or in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and to reimburse the Escrow Agent for all its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses) reasonably incurred by reason of any matter as to which such indemnity is paid pursuant to this Section 12; provided, however, that no indemnity need be paid in case of the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.

     13. General.

or to such other address as any party may have furnished in writing to the other parties in the manner provided above. Any notice addressed to the Escrow Agent shall be effective only upon receipt.

          (b) Amendment and Termination. This Agreement may be amended or terminated if, but only if, such amendment or termination is in writing and is signed by each of the Parent, Parent Americas and Shareholder Representative (who shall act on behalf of the other Effective Time Company Shareholders), and upon written notice to the Escrow Agent at any time given jointly by Parent, Parent Americas and Shareholder Representative, but the duties or responsibilities of the Escrow Agent may not be amended or modified without its consent.

          (c) Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

          (d) No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned (by operation of Law or otherwise) by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties and any attempt to do so will be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

          (e) Headings. The headings and table of contents used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof.

          (f) Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

          (g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

          (h) Construction. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties and individuals, all of who were represented by counsel, and each of who had an opportunity to participate in and did participate in the drafting of each provision hereof. Accordingly, ambiguities in this Agreement, if any, shall not be construed strictly or in favor of or against any party hereto but rather shall be given a fair and reasonable construction without regard to the rule of contra proferentem.

          (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall constitute an original copy hereof, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

          (j) Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

     14. Tax Reporting Matters. Within 30 days of the Closing Date, Parent, Parent Americas and the Effective Time Company Shareholders each agree to provide the Escrow Agent with appropriate Forms W-9 (or original Forms W-8, in the case of non-U.S. persons) and other forms and documents to the Escrow Agent that the Escrow Agent may reasonably request (collectively, “Tax Reporting Documentation”). The parties hereto understand that, if such Tax Reporting Documentation is not so certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be

required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to withhold a portion of any payments made to the Effective Time Company Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement.

     15. Patriot Act Compliance. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. Parent, Parent Americas and the Shareholders’ Representative each agree to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance with federal law.

Gardner, Carton & Douglas LLP Opinion

                                  , 2006

Business Objects S.A.
c/o Business Objects Americas
3030 Orchard Parkway
San Jose, California 95123

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Firstlogic, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January                     , 2006 (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Company, Business Objects S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“Parent”), Business Objects Americas, a Delaware corporation (“Parent Americas”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, Flagship Acquisition Corp., a Wisconsin corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent Americas (“Merger Sub”), and Ralph Bouma, Jr., acting solely as the Shareholder Representative. Under the Merger Agreement, Flagship Acquisition Corp. is to merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

     This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 8.2(f) of the Merger Agreement. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

     In connection with the delivery of this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents:

     (i) The Merger Agreement;

     (ii) The Company Disclosure Schedule and other Schedules identified in the Merger Agreement to be provided by the Company;

     (iii) Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) as filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions;

     (iv) A Certificate from the Secretary of State of Wisconsin as to the good standing of the Company dated                     , 2006;

     (v) Copies of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the “Articles”), as certified by the Secretary of State of Wisconsin as of                                         , 2006, and the Bylaws of the Company, as certified by the Secretary of the Company (the “Bylaws”); and

     (vi) The resolutions of the board of directors and the shareholders of the Company authorizing the Transactions as certified by the Secretary of the Company.

     The Merger Agreement, the Voting and Support Agreement, the Cash Escrow Agreement and the Articles of Merger are collectively referred to herein as the “Documents.”

     We have also examined originals, executed counterparts or copies of such other agreements, corporate records, instruments and certificates and certificates of public authorities, and considered such matters of law, as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. To the extent we deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion, we have relied upon (i) the statements and representations of officers of the Company as to factual matters, (ii) the corporate records provided to us by such officers and (iii) certificates and other documents obtained from public officials. We have further relied as to factual matters on the representations and warranties contained in the Documents. We have assumed the completeness and accuracy of all such representations and warranties as to factual matters.

     We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed the Documents and all other documents we have reviewed, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies. We have also assumed that the Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto (other than the Company) and are enforceable in accordance with their terms against such parties (other than the Company).

     While our firm represents the Company on a regular basis, our engagement is limited to specific matters as to which we are consulted by the Company from time to time. Whenever our opinion with respect to factual matters is indicated to be based on our knowledge, we are referring to the actual knowledge, without independent inquiry, of the attorneys at our firm who have performed legal services in connection with the issuance of this opinion or the Transactions. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from such representation.

     Based upon and subject to our examination as aforesaid and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

     1. The Company (i) is a corporation organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and (ii) has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as currently conducted and to own, use, license and lease its properties and assets.

     2. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Merger Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Merger. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the consummation by it of the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Merger, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and shareholders.

     3. The Documents and each other document to which the Company is a party and which are required to consummate the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Merger, have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and further subject to the qualifications set forth in the next sentence. We express no opinion herein as to the enforceability of any provision (i) that mandates the choice of law to govern the Documents, (ii) that purports to waive trial by jury, (iii) that purports to waive or limit the right to assert any claims, remedies, defenses or rights of setoff which the Company may have at law or in equity, (iv) that provides that waivers, consents, amendments or modifications must be in writing, (v) that purports to confer, waive or consent to the jurisdiction of any court, (vi) that purports to impose penalties, liquidated damages, forfeiture or interest on past due interest, (vii) that relates to severability, as applied to any portion thereof deemed by a court to be material, (viii) for contribution or indemnification to the extent that such provisions may be violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation) or (ix) that purports to impose any non-competition or non-solicitation obligation or restriction on any Person.

     4. The execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and each other document to which the Company is a party and which is required to consummate the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Merger, do not and the consummation of the Transactions will not (i) result in a violation of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, (ii) result in a violation of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (the “WBCL”), (iii) to our knowledge result in a violation by the Company of any order, writ, injunction, decree, statue, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Entity or agency binding upon the Company or to which the Company is subject, or (iv) result in a breach or default under any agreement or instrument listed on Schedule A hereto to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.

     5. Except for filings, permits, authorizations, consents or approvals as are specifically provided for in the Merger Agreement and each other document required to consummate the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Merger, no authorizations, permits, consents or approvals of, and no filings with, any Governmental Entity or regulatory authority or agency are necessary under the WBCL or the federal laws of the United States of America for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement or the Transactions.

     6. Based solely upon the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (the “Wisconsin Department”) in accordance with the Merger Agreement, upon the acceptance of such filings by the Wisconsin Department, the Merger will be effective in accordance with the WBCL.

     The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal statutes of the United States, and the laws and regulations of the State of Wisconsin, and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction.

     This opinion is rendered only with respect to the laws and the regulations thereunder that are in effect as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility for updating this opinion to take into account any event, action, interpretation or change of law occurring subsequent to the date hereof that may affect the validity of any of the opinions expressed herein.

     This opinion is furnished by us solely for your benefit for use in connection with the Transactions and it may not be furnished or quoted to, or relied upon by, any other person or for any other purpose, without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,
