     (b) As soon as practicable after this Agreement has been duly executed by all parties hereto (the “Closing,” and such date, the “Closing Date”), the Company shall file a certificate of merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C with the Delaware Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with the Merger.

     Section 2.02. Allocation of Merger Consideration. (a) As soon as practicable after the Closing, Parent shall deliver to the Member Representative a statement (the “Allocation Statement”), allocating the Aggregate Merger Consideration (plus assumed liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code) among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. If within ten days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement the Member Representative notifies Parent in writing that the Member Representative objects to the allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement, Parent and the Member Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within 20 days. In the event that Parent and the Member Representative are unable to resolve such dispute within 20 days, Parent and the Member Representative shall jointly retain accounting firm of good repute (the “Accounting Referee”) to resolve the disputed items. Upon resolution of the disputed items, the allocation reflected on the Allocation Statement shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by Parent and the Member Representative.

     (a) Other than Units held by the Company in treasury or owned by Parent, each Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Aggregate Merger Consideration as follows:

     (i) at the Closing, each Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to receive the Closing Merger Consideration;

     (iii) each Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to receive the quotient obtained by dividing (A) any amount released to Members out of the Escrow Fund pursuant to Article 9 by (B) the number of Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

     (c) If any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Units are registered on the books of the Company, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Person in whose name the Units are registered on the books of the Company shall have

executed such transfer documents as Parent may reasonably request and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to Parent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of Units or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

     (d) After the Closing, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Units.

     (e) Parent shall not be liable to any former holder of Units for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Immediately prior to such time when amounts remaining unclaimed by former holders of Units would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority, such unclaimed amounts shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Persons previously entitled thereto.

     (f) Prior to any payment hereunder to a Member, such Member shall have delivered a properly completed letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, together with IRS Form W-8 or W-9, as appropriate.

If the Surviving LLC, the Escrow Agent or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Units or Company Equity Options in respect of which the Surviving LLC, the Escrow Agent or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, for all tax purposes, each Member shall be treated as receiving, on the Closing Date, both (i) the Closing Merger Consideration and (ii) such Member’s pro rata portion of the Escrow Amount (the sum of (i) and (ii), the “Aggregate Deemed Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall deduct and withhold for the amounts payable to each Member that exercised options to purchase Units on the Closing Date such amounts as the Company is required to deduct and withhold from the Aggregate Deemed Payment with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 3
Milestone Payments

     Section 3.01. Milestone Payments. The parties acknowledge and agree that the achievement or non-achievement of the Milestones are material factors in determining the valuation of the Company by Parent. Therefore, the parties agree that Parent shall withhold the Milestone Amount from the Aggregate Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the Members pursuant to Article 2, the payment of such amounts to the Members to be contingent on, and subject to, the following:

     (i) upon Achievement of Milestone, the Milestone Payment 1 shall be paid in full by Parent to the Members as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(ii)(1);

     (ii) upon Achievement of Milestone 2, or any portion thereof, as set forth on Exhibit A, then Milestone Payment 2 shall have been earned to the extent set forth in Exhibit A and shall be paid by Parent to the Members as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(ii)(2); and

     (iii) in the event of any Change of Control prior to December 31, 2008, then Milestone 1 shall be deemed to have been achieved and Milestone 2 shall be deemed to have been 100% achieved and the Milestone Amounts shall become immediately due and payable by Parent to the Members.

All Milestone Payments shall be paid to the Members pursuant to the instructions set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

     Section 3.02. Determination of Milestones. Determination of the achievement of the Milestones shall be made in the reasonable judgment of Parent in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3 and Exhibit A. Unless the Milestone Payment 1 has been earned and paid out to the Members previously, Parent covenants that the Achievement of Milestone 1 shall be determined on December 31, 2008. Unless the Milestone Payment 2 has been earned and paid out to the Members previously, Parent covenants that the Achievement of Milestone 2 shall be determined by January 31, 2009 and written notice of such Achievement or non-Achievement of Milestone 2 shall be provided, with reasonable detail supporting such determination, to the Member Representative by January 31, 2009.

     Section 3.03. Disputes and Resolution Thereof. (a) In the event that the Member Representative disagrees with Parent as to whether a Milestone has been achieved, the Member Representative may deliver a written notice of such dispute to Parent setting forth in reasonable detail an explanation of the disagreement and the position of the Member Representative with respect thereto (a “Notice of Dispute”). If the Member Representative delivers a Notice of Dispute pursuant to

this Section 3.03, Parent and the Member Representative shall, during the 20 Business Days following such delivery, use reasonable efforts to resolve the disagreement. If Parent and the Member Representative are able to resolve the dispute during such 20 Business Day period (or such longer period as Parent and the Member Representative may mutually agree), Parent and the Member Representative shall enter into an agreement setting forth the resolution of the dispute, which agreement shall be final and binding upon Parent and its Affiliates and the Members and shall not be subject to challenge by any of the foregoing in a court of law or otherwise.

     (b) In the event that Parent and the Member Representative cannot resolve the dispute within 20 Business Days (or such longer period as Parent and the Member Representative may mutually agree) after the delivery of the Notice of Dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.02(f) for disputes with respect to payments from the Escrow Fund.

     Section 3.04. Rights to Receive Milestone Merger Consideration Not Transferable. Except with the written consent of Parent, no Member or former Member may sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of his, her or its right to receive any Milestone Merger Consideration, other than (i) by the laws of descent and distribution or succession or (ii) as a result of any donative transfer to any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or sibling, including adoptive relationships of any Member, or a trust, corporation, partnership or other entity for the exclusive benefit of such persons. A transfer of rights to receive any Milestone Merger Consideration other than pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, shall be made in whole and not in part. Any transfer in violation of this Section 3.04 shall be null and void and shall not be recognized by Parent.

     Section 3.05. Tax Treatment of Milestone Payments. (a) Unless otherwise required by law, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) any Milestone Payments made to any of the Major Members shall be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as additional consideration paid to such Major Members and (ii) a portion of each such Milestone Payment shall be treated as interest to the extent required by Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code.

     (b) Unless otherwise required by law, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any Milestone Payments made to any Member on account of Units acquired on the exercise of options on the Closing Date shall be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, when such Milestone Payments are paid as a payment of compensation for services.

     Section 7.05. Non-competition; Non-solicitation. In consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Major Member agrees as follows:

     (a) For a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), such Major Member will not, directly or indirectly, either for himself or for any other individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity, engage in or participate in any business (including, without limitation, any division, group or franchise of a larger organization) in North America, Europe, Asia and other countries throughout the world which engages or which proposes to engage in the implementation or hosting of Parent’s software (the “Competitive Business”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “participate in” shall include, without limitation, having any direct or indirect interest in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity, whether as a sole proprietor, owner, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise, or rendering any direct or indirect service or assistance to any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture and other business entity (whether as a director, officer, manager, supervisor, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise), provided that nothing herein shall prevent such Major Member from owning, solely as a passive investment, securities in any publicly traded company so long as Major Member does not beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 1% of the equity securities of such company and has no active participation in the business of such company.

     (b) During the Restricted Period, Major Member shall not, directly or indirectly, recruit, solicit or otherwise induce any employee, sales agent or consultant of Parent or the Company to discontinue such employment, agency, or consultant relationship with Parent or the Company, or any person who has been

an employee, sales agent or consultant of Parent or the Company in the then immediately preceding three months.

     (c) If one or more of the provisions contained in this Section 7.05 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad or unreasonable as to the period, scope or geographical area so as to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision or provisions shall be modified or substituted by the appropriate judicial body so as to cover the maximum period, scope or geographical area permitted by applicable law.

     (d) Major Member acknowledges and agrees that Parent’s remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7.05 would be inadequate. In recognition of this fact, each Major Member agrees that, in the event of a breach by such Major Member of any of such provisions and in addition to Parent’s remedy at law, Parent shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting Parent from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach.

     Section 7.06. Manager And Officer Liability. Parent covenants that Parent and Surviving LLC shall do the following:

     (a) For a period constituting the applicable statute of limitations, commencing on the Effective Time, Parent and Surviving LLC shall indemnify and hold harmless the present and former Managers and officers of the Company in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law; provided that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under Applicable Law.

     (b) If Parent, the Surviving LLC or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be 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, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving LLC, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.06.

     Section 7.07. Access to Information. On and after the Closing Date, the Major Members and Parent will, and will cause their Affiliates to, promptly afford to Parent and the Major Members, respectively, and their agents reasonable access to their books of account, financial and other records (including accountant’s work papers), information, employees and auditors to the extent necessary in connection with any audit, investigation, dispute or litigation relating to the Service Business, the operation of the Company prior to the Closing, or the transactions contemplated hereunder, other than a dispute or litigation between

Parent and the Major Members or their Affiliates; provided that any such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of their respective businesses.

     (b) Parent shall have executed the Employment Agreement with Executive.

ARTICLE 9
Survival; Indemnification

     Section 9.01. Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Members contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date the “Expiration Date;” provided that the representations and warranties in Sections 5.02 (Corporate Authorization), 5.05 (Capitalization), 5.06 (Ownership of Units; Option Plan), Section 5.07 (Subsidiaries), 5.20 (Taxes) and Section 5.30 (Additional Representations and Warranties of the Major Members) (collectively, the “Specified Representations”) shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by the applicable statute of limitations. All of Parent’s representations and warranties contained herein or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, other than the Employment Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, shall terminate at the Expiration Date.

     Section 9.02. Escrow Arrangements.

     (a) Escrow Fund. On the Closing Date, the Escrow Amount, without any act of the Members, will be deposited by Parent on behalf of the Members with the Escrow Agent, such deposit together with the escrow amount specified in the CT Merger Agreement to constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed by the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The portion of the Escrow Amount contributed on behalf of each Member shall be as set forth in Schedule I. For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Fund means $900,000, available jointly and severally to satisfy Losses under both this Agreement and the CT Merger Agreement. The Members shall indemnify and hold Parent and its officers, directors and Affiliates (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) incurred by the Indemnified Parties (including, after the Closing Date, the Company) directly or indirectly as a result of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of the Members or the Company contained in this Agreement, (ii) any failure by the Members or the

Company to perform or comply with any covenant contained in this Agreement, and (iii) all Taxes of the Company relating or apportioned to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. No Member shall have any right to contribution from the Company for any claim made by Parent after the Closing Date.

     (b) Limitation on Liability. Parent and the Members hereby agree that, except in the event of fraud or with respect to the Specified Representations or Section 9.02(a)(iii), for which the indemnification of Parent shall be unlimited in amount, Parent’s sole and exclusive recourse against the Company and the Members for any Loss shall be expressly limited to the Escrow Fund and in accordance with the indemnification provisions of this Article 9; provided that Members shall not be liable for any Losses (other than Losses resulting from breaches of Specified Representations) unless the aggregate amount of Losses exceeds $75,000 and then Members shall be liable for Losses from the first dollar. The amount of indemnifiable Losses required to be paid by the Members to an Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund shall be reduced by the amount of (or if already paid to such Indemnified Party, promptly repaid to the Escrow Fund in the amount of) any recoveries actually received by such Indemnified Party during the Escrow Period under insurance policies or via contribution or other related payments received from third parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 9 shall not be reduced by the amount of any Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party in connection with the incurrence of such Losses. The Indemnified Parties shall take all actions reasonably necessary to mitigate any indemnifiable Losses in connection with an indemnity claim made pursuant to this Article 9. The remedies in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent and Merger Subsidiary with respect to any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Members pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered by the Company or the Members pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of the theory or cause of action pled, except for the remedies of specific performance, injunction and other equitable relief; provided, however, that no party hereto shall be deemed to have waived any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies if and to the extent actual fraud is proven on the part of a party by another party hereto or such rights, claims, causes of action or remedies may not be waived under Applicable Law.

     (c) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Period. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Closing Date and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., California time on the Expiration Date (the “Escrow Period”); provided, however, that the Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to any amount which, in reasonable judgment of Parent, subject to the objection of the Member Representative and the subsequent arbitration of the matter in the manner provided in Section 9.02(f) hereof, is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate (as defined in paragraph (d) below) that has

been prepared and delivered in good faith to the Escrow Agent prior to termination of such Escrow Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the termination of such Escrow Period. On the Expiration Date, any amounts as to which the Escrow Period has expired shall be promptly paid out to the Members. As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Members the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy such claims including all interest or other income earned by the Escrow Agent on the Escrow Fund. Deliveries of Escrow Amounts to the Members pursuant to this Section 9.02(c) shall be paid to the Members in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(iii) and the payment instructions set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

     (d) Claims Upon Escrow Fund. Prior to the Expiration Date, if Parent has incurred or reasonably anticipates in good faith that it will incur Losses, Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, a certificate signed by any officer of Parent (an “Officer’s Certificate”) (i) stating that Parent has incurred or reasonably anticipates in good faith that it will incur Losses, and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was incurred, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related. If Parent had not incurred such Losses at the time it initially submitted the Officer’s Certificate, then once Parent does incur such Losses, it shall provide further written notice of such to the Escrow Agent and the Member Representative indicating the amount to be disbursed to the Indemnified Parties out of the Escrow Fund. Subject to subsection (e) below, thirty (30) days after the Escrow Agent has received such written notice, provided that it had received the initial Officer’s Certificate related to such Loss before the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, an amount in cash held in the Escrow Fund equal to such Losses.

     (e) Objections to Claims. At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent or written notice pursuant to paragraph (d) above stating that Parent had incurred Losses, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to the Member Representative, and for a period of thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Parent of any Escrow Amounts pursuant to Section 9.02(d) hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Member Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of funds from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 9.02(d) hereof; provided, however, that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Member Representative shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, with a copy of such objection to be promptly delivered to Parent.

     (f) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.

     (i) In case the Member Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate, the Member Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Member Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and distribute funds from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

     (ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Parent or the Member Representative may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and such Member Representative. In the event that within thirty (30) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and such Member Representative cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, Parent and such Member Representative shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s).

     (iii) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in the County of Santa Clara, California, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to

the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association.

     (g) Third-Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim which Parent believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund, Parent shall promptly notify the Member Representative in writing of such claim setting forth such claims in reasonable detail and the Members shall be entitled, at their expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Member Representative, no settlement of any such claim with third-party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of any claim against the Escrow Fund. In the event that the Member Representative has consented in writing to any such settlement, the Members shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article 9 to the amount of any claim by Parent against the Escrow Fund with respect to such settlement.

     Section 9.03. Member Representative.

     (a) Members hereby agree that the Member Representative is hereby appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact for each Member, for and on behalf of the Members, to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to Parent of funds from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by Parent, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Member Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by the Members from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that the Member Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority in interest in the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Any vacancy in the position of Member Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of a majority in interest in the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Member Representative, and the Member Representative shall not receive compensation for his or her services. Notices or communications to or from the Member Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Members.

     (b) The Member Representative shall at all times act in his capacity as Member Representative in a manner that the Member Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Members. The Member Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to the Members for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by him in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Member Representative shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.

     (c) The Member Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Member Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Members on whose behalf the Escrow Amount was contributed to the Escrow Fund shall severally and not jointly indemnify the Member Representative and hold the Member Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Member Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Member Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Members.

     (d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Member Representative shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all Members for whom a portion of the Escrow Amount otherwise issuable to them are deposited in the Escrow Fund and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of such Members, and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Member Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Member. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Member Representative.

     Section 9.04. Apportionment of Straddle Period Taxes. For purposes of this Article 9, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax related to the portion of such Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sales or use Taxes and Taxes based upon or related to income, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income and any gross receipts, sales or use Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocation set forth in the foregoing clause (y) shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

     Section 9.05. Adjustment to Aggregate Merger Consideration. Any amount paid by the Members or Parent under this Article 9 will be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Aggregate Merger Consideration.

     Section 9.06. Indemnification by Parent. Parent shall indemnify and hold the Members harmless against all out of pocket Losses incurred by them, directly or indirectly, as a result of any breach of a representation or warranty of Parent or the Merger Subsidiary contained in this Agreement.
