AGREEMENT

The parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.                                      THE MERGER; EFFECTIVE TIME

1.1                               The Merger.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company, Company shall be the surviving corporation in such Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease.  The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided herein, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and

all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.  Immediately following the Effective Time, Company, as the Surviving Corporation following the Merger, shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser.

1.2                               Effective Time of the Merger.

The Merger shall become effective upon the completion of the filing by Purchaser of a properly executed certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as is required by the relevant provisions of the DGCL, which filing shall be made as soon as practicable following the Closing.  When used in this Agreement, the term “Effective Time” with respect to the Merger shall mean the date and time at which the Certificate of Merger has been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

1.3                               The Merger Consideration.

(a)           Amount.  The Equityholders shall be entitled to an aggregate consideration of:

(i)            Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in cash (the “Cash Consideration”); plus

(ii)           Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000), to be paid, at the option of Purchaser, either (A) in cash, or (B) by Purchaser’s issuance of that number of shares of common stock of Purchaser, $0.001 par value per share (“Purchaser Common Stock”), equal to the quotient of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) divided by the 20 Day Average Price, rounded to the nearest whole share of Purchaser Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”); plus

(iii)          the Net Company Indebtedness; plus

(iv)          the Aggregate Exercise Price; plus

(v)           the Closing Working Capital Adjustment, if any, as set forth in Section 1.6; minus

(vi)          the Transaction Expenses.

(the amount obtained pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), the “Merger Consideration”; provided, that such amount is subject to any Claims against the Indemnification Holdback in satisfaction of Company’s and Equityholders’ indemnification obligations, if any, as set forth in Section 12.2 and any amounts withheld in the Administrative Account that are used by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 1.5).

2

(b)           Form.

(i)            The Merger Consideration shall be paid, subject to Purchaser’s election pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(ii), either (A) in cash, denominated in U.S. Dollars, or (B) through a combination of cash, denominated in U.S. Dollars, and Purchaser Common Stock, with a per share valuation equal to the 20 Day Average Price.  The Merger Consideration shall be distributed to the Equityholders in accordance with Section 3 and the provisions of Sections 1.4 and 1.5.  Shareholdings of Stockholders perfecting dissenters’ rights as set forth below, if any, shall be taken into account in calculating the amount of the Merger Consideration payable per Share to other Equityholders, but Stockholders perfecting dissenters’ rights shall not be entitled to any portion of the Merger Consideration and only shall be entitled to receive such consideration as set forth in Section 3.6.

(ii)           In the event Purchaser elects to pay all of the Merger Consideration in cash pursuant to its option in Section 1.3(a)(ii), (A) Purchaser shall notify Company and the Stockholder Representative of such election at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (B) the definition of “Cash Consideration” shall be amended to mean Twenty-Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($23,500,000) in cash.

1.4                               Escrow.

(a)           Escrow Accounts.  Prior to the Closing, Purchaser, Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative shall enter into an Escrow Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”).  At the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent to be held by Escrow Agent in two separate accounts (i) a portion of the Cash Consideration in the amount of Three Million Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($3,525,000) (together with any interest earned on such amount pursuant to Section 1.4(e), the “Indemnification Holdback”) and (ii) a portion of the Cash Consideration in the amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) (the “Working Capital Holdback”).

(b)           Application of Indemnification Holdback.  The Indemnification Holdback shall be used exclusively to satisfy any amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 12.2, provided, that to the extent the Closing Working Capital Adjustment payable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.6(f) or Section 1.6(g), is greater than the Working Capital Holdback, such difference may be paid from the Indemnification Holdback.  Upon the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Indemnification Holdback Termination Date”), Escrow Agent will release to the Paying Agent (or otherwise on the instruction of the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Equityholders), for distribution to the Equityholders pursuant to Section 1.4(d), all remaining and unreserved amounts of the Indemnification Holdback.  All amounts of the Indemnification Holdback that are reserved for unpaid and unresolved Claims made in accordance with this Agreement shall be held by Escrow Agent until such Claims become resolved, even if such Claims have not been finally resolved prior to the Indemnification Holdback Termination Date.  Escrow Agent may reserve and withhold from payment any amounts in the Indemnification Holdback then in dispute relating to indemnification obligations of Company and Equityholders arising under this Agreement; provided, that the withheld amount, to the extent not applied in satisfaction of indemnification obligations of Company and

3

Equityholders, shall be, promptly upon resolution of such dispute, released to the Paying Agent (or otherwise on the instruction of the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Equityholders), for distribution to the Equityholders pursuant to Section 1.4(d).

(c)           Application of Working Capital Holdback.  The Working Capital Holdback shall be used exclusively to satisfy any amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to Sections 1.6(f) and (g).  Upon the final determination of the Closing Working Capital Adjustment, Escrow Agent shall pay promptly to Purchaser the amount, if any, as determined pursuant to Section 1.6(f) or Section 1.6(g), as applicable, and promptly release to the Paying Agent (or otherwise on the instruction of the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Equityholders), for distribution to the Equityholders pursuant to Section 1.4(d), all remaining amounts of the Working Capital Holdback.

(d)           Release from Escrow.  Amounts released from the Indemnification Holdback to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Equityholders (the “Indemnification Holdback Distributions”) shall be distributed in the following order of priority: first, the Paying Agent shall distribute such Indemnification Holdback Distributions solely to Equityholders that held Company Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Preferred Stock Consideration Percentage until all such Equityholders have received the full Preferred Escrow Contribution in the aggregate; and thereafter, the Paying Agent shall distribute any remaining Indemnification Holdback Distributions solely to Equityholders that held Company Common Stock or In-the-Money Options and Warrants immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Common Stock Consideration Percentage.  Amounts released from the Working Capital Holdback to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Equityholders shall be distributed to all Equityholders that held Company Common Stock or In-the-Money Options and Warrants immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Common Stock Consideration Percentage.  All such distributions shall be made by the Paying Agent as specified by each Equityholder in the transmittal materials as provided in Section 3.2(a) within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such amounts from Escrow Agent; provided, that the Stockholder Representative may require that such amount (or such lesser portion of such amount) be deposited into the Administrative Account (as defined below) if the Stockholder Representative reasonably determines the funds in the Administrative Account are insufficient to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

(e)           Interest.  The Indemnification Holdback shall be invested in a business savings account, money market fund, certificates of deposit or short term U.S. Treasury funds, as directed jointly by the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser in writing from time to time consistent herewith.  The earnings generated on the cash held in escrow shall be (i) deposited or retained in the Indemnification Holdback escrow account, and shall be considered to increase and be part of the Indemnification Holdback, and (ii) distributed to Purchaser and the Equityholders based upon the allocable portion of such earnings attributable to the cash being distributed to Purchaser and/or the Equityholders from the Indemnification Holdback.  The parties further agree that, consistent with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8, for Tax reporting purposes, all interest or other income earned form the investment of the Indemnification Holdback or any portion thereof in any Tax year shall be reported as allocated to the Purchaser until the distribution of the Indemnification Holdback (or portion thereof) is determined and thereafter to the Purchaser and the Equityholders in accordance with their

4

respective interests in the Indemnification Holdback consistent with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8.  The Working Capital Holdback shall be deposited in a separate non-interest bearing account.

1.5                               Stockholder Representative Fund.

At the Closing, Purchaser will deliver to the Stockholder Representative Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) of the Cash Consideration to be held by the Stockholder Representative in a segregated client account (the “Administrative Account”) for purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholder Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, and otherwise fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.  The Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the funds in the Administrative Account and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the funds in the Administrative Account other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. For tax purposes, the Administrative Account will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Equityholders at the time of Closing.  Upon payment of all funds and property under the Escrow Agreement or, if later, at such time as the Stockholder Representative reasonably determines that it is unlikely to incur any additional fees or expenses in connection with fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, any funds or property remaining in the Administrative Account shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for further distribution to each Equityholder (or otherwise on the instruction of the Stockholder Representative) in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Consideration Percentage and to the address specified by such Equityholder in the transmittal materials as provided in Section 3.2(a) as promptly as practicable.

1.6                               Working Capital.

(a)           No fewer than three (3) Business Days and no more than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Company shall deliver to Purchaser a balance sheet of Company as of the date thereof (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”), together with a statement (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”) setting forth a good faith estimate of the Working Capital of Company as of the open of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount”), which estimate shall be, in all cases, reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.  The “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment” shall be: (i) if the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount is greater than $200,000 (the “Upper Target Working Capital Amount”), an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount, (ii) if the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount is less than $(200,000) (the “Lower Target Working Capital Amount”), an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount (which amount shall be a negative number), or (iii) if the Estimated Working Capital Amount is less than or equal to the Upper Target Working Capital Amount and greater than or equal to the Lower Target Working Capital Amount, an amount equal to $0.  For purposes of the Closing and payments to be made as of the Closing, the Closing Working Capital Adjustment shall equal the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment.

5

(b)           Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”), together with a statement (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s calculation of the Working Capital of Company as of the open of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital Amount”).

(c)           Within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Objection Period”), the Stockholder Representative, by written notice to Purchaser, may object to the Closing Working Capital Amount as set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement, setting forth in such notice, in reasonable detail, the basis for such objection (the “Notice of Objection”).  If the Stockholder Representative does not deliver a Notice of Objection to Purchaser during the Objection Period, then the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount as set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted.

(d)           If during the Objection Period, the Stockholder Representative delivers a Notice of Objection to Purchaser, Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve all matters set forth therein.  If Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve any such dispute within a twenty (20) day period following delivery by the Stockholder Representative of the Notice of Objection, Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative shall engage a mutually acceptable, independent nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accounting Referee”), it being acknowledged and agreed that the Accounting Referee shall act as experts and not arbiters and shall determine only those issues set forth in the Notice of Objection that remain in dispute, and that such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be reflected in any necessary revisions to the Closing Working Capital Statement.  The cost of any accounting firm engaged pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) shall be borne by the losing party as determined by the Accounting Referee; provided, that any costs that would otherwise be borne by the Stockholder Representative shall be the responsibility of the Equityholders.

(e)           The “Final Closing Working Capital Amount” shall mean (i) the Closing Working Capital Amount as set forth on the Closing Working Capital Statement if the Stockholder Representative accepts the Closing Working Capital Statement as delivered or does not deliver a Notice of Objection during the Objection Period, or (ii) the Closing Working Capital Amount determined pursuant to Section 1.6(d) above, if the Stockholder Representative delivers a Notice of Objection.  The Closing Working Capital Adjustment shall be adjusted based on such Final Closing Working Capital Amount, if necessary, as set forth in Sections 1.6(f) and (g) below.

(f)            If the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment was zero, then:

(i)            if the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is greater than the Upper Target Working Capital Amount, then an amount equal to the Final Closing Working Capital Amount shall be paid by Purchaser to the Paying Agent (or otherwise on the instruction of the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Equityholders), for distribution to the Equityholders in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Common Stock Consideration

6

Percentage and to the address specified by such Equityholder in the transmittal materials as provided in Section 3.2(a) within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such amounts from Purchaser; or

(ii)           if the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is less than the Lower Target Working Capital Amount, the Escrow Agent shall (A) pay to Purchaser from the Working Capital Holdback an amount equal to the Final Closing Working Capital Amount, and (B) release to the Paying Agent (or otherwise on the instruction of the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Equityholders), all remaining amounts of the Working Capital Holdback for distribution to the Equityholders in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Common Stock Consideration Percentage and to the address specified by such Equityholder in the transmittal materials as provided in Section 3.2(a).

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is less than or equal to the Upper Target Working Capital Amount and greater than or equal to the Lower Target Working Capital Amount, then the Closing Working Capital Adjustment shall remain zero.

(g)           If the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment was not zero, then:

(i)            if the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is greater than the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount, then an amount equal to such difference shall be paid by Purchaser to the Paying Agent (or otherwise on the instruction of the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Equityholders), for distribution to the Equityholders in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Common Stock Consideration Percentage and to the address specified by such Equityholder in the transmittal materials as provided in Section 3.2(a) within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such amounts from Purchaser; or

(ii)           if the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount, the Escrow Agent shall (A) pay to Purchaser from the Working Capital Holdback an amount equal to such difference, and (B) release to the Paying Agent (or otherwise on the instruction of the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Equityholders), all remaining amounts of the Working Capital Holdback for distribution to the Equityholders in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Common Stock Consideration Percentage and to the address specified by such Equityholder in the transmittal materials as provided in Section 3.2(a);

provided, that if the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is less than or equal to the Upper Target Working Capital Amount and greater than or equal to the Lower Target Working Capital Amount, then there shall be no adjustment to the Merger Consideration under this Section 1.6(g) and any adjustment made pursuant to Section 1.6(a) should be reversed with any amounts representing such adjustments being paid to or on the instruction of the appropriate party.

1.7                               Payment of Company Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses.

(a)           No fewer than three (3) Business Days and no more than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Company shall deliver a schedule (the “Closing Schedule”) setting forth (i) the Transaction Expenses of Company, indicating the amount of each

7

Transaction Expense and (ii) the Company’s good faith estimate of all Company Indebtedness as of the Closing Date.

(b)           At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay all Company Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses of Company set forth on the Closing Schedule, in the amounts set forth in the Closing Schedule; provided that Purchase may elect to not pay the Gold Hill Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.10 below.

(a)           Promptly following the Effective Time, or sooner in the sole discretion of Company, Company shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent on its behalf to, distribute to the Equityholders the transmittal materials, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.  Each Stockholder holding any certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”), and which were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, shall be entitled to surrender the Certificates to the Paying Agent for cancellation in exchange for such Stockholder’s portion of the Merger Consideration, together with the completed transmittal materials.  Each Stockholder’s portion of the Merger Consideration, subject to the escrow provisions of Section 1.4 and the provisions for funds reserved for the Stockholder Representative set forth in Section 1.5, shall be paid to such Stockholder at such time as the Certificates and transmittal materials are delivered to the Paying Agent by such Stockholder.  Except as provided in Section 1.4(e), no interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates on the consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates.  It shall be a condition of payment that the transmittal materials be properly executed and returned to the Paying Agent as provided in the transmittal materials and the Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer.

(b)           From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Company of the Shares.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented for payment, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.2.

3.6                               Dissenting Shares.

(a)           Effect on Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder (a “Dissenting Holder”) who has demanded and perfected such demand for appraisal of such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and as of the Closing has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost such holder’s right to such appraisal (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the applicable Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by the DGCL.  Purchaser shall be entitled to retain any Merger Consideration not paid on account of such Dissenting Shares (the “Dissenting Share Consideration”) pending resolution of the claims of such holders, and the Equityholders who are not Dissenting Holders shall not be entitled to any portion thereof.

(b)           Loss of Dissenting Share Status.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.6(a), if any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who properly demands appraisal of such holder’s shares under the DGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through the failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to appraisal, then as of the Closing or the occurrence of such event, whichever later occurs, such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1, without interest thereon, as and when payable pursuant to this Agreement, following the surrender of the Certificate or Certificates representing such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 3.2.

(c)           Notice of Dissenting Shares.  Company shall give Purchaser:  (i) prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock received by the Company, withdrawals of any demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by Company; and (ii) the opportunity to direct (with the participation of the Company, with respect to periods prior to the Effective Time, or the Stockholder Representative, with respect to periods following the Effective Time) all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal.  Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Purchaser shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements.  Purchaser (and not Company or the Paying Agent) shall be responsible for any settlement of claims with respect to any Dissenting Shares, which settlements may be paid in cash, capital stock of Purchaser or such other consideration as Purchaser shall determine, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.  Upon any settlement of claims with respect to any Dissenting Shares, Purchaser shall direct the Paying Agent to promptly return to Purchaser that portion of the Merger Consideration that would otherwise have been payable to such Dissenting Holder had the status of such Dissenting Shares not been perfected.

3.7                               Withholding.

The Paying Agent (and any other Person required to withhold any payment made under this Agreement) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement.  To the extent such amounts are so deducted or

(a)           Subject to the remainder of this Section 12.2 and Section 12.6, the Equityholders shall, severally in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Consideration Percentage and not jointly, hold harmless and indemnify Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees” and individually each a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Purchaser Indemnitees for, any Damages, reduced by the amount of any Tax Benefit, which are suffered or incurred by any of the Purchaser Indemnitees (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any Third-Party Claim) arising out of or resulting from:  (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Company in this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Company under this Agreement; (iii) any Pre-Closing Taxes; (iv) any Transaction Expense or

52

Company Indebtedness not set forth on the Closing Schedule; and (v) any amounts paid by Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation with respect to Dissenting Shares but only to the extent such amounts (in the aggregate) exceed the Dissenting Share Consideration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Claims satisfied by recourse to the Indemnification Holdback, such indemnification shall be several in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Escrow Percentage and subject to the priority set forth in Section 1.4(d) and not joint.

(b)           After the Closing, the Equityholders shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to any Claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(i), unless and until the Purchaser Indemnitees have paid or incurred Damages (on an aggregated basis) subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in excess of One Hundred Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($117,500) (the “Basket Amount”), in which case such Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover only such Damages (on an aggregate basis) from the first dollar exceeding the Basket Amount, up to and not exceeding, the Indemnification Holdback.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Damages resulting from a breach of the Specified Representations by Company, and Claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by Company shall not be subject to such Basket Amount limitation and shall not be limited to the remaining Indemnification Holdback.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) recovery of portions of the Indemnification Holdback shall constitute the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of any Purchaser Indemnitee for satisfying the indemnification obligations of the Equityholders under this Section 12, other than in the case of (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by the Company, and (ii) breach of any of the Specified Representations by the Company, and (B) in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of any Equityholder with respect to the indemnification obligations under this Section 12 exceed the sum of (i) the value of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock actually received by such Equityholder hereunder (as valued on the Closing Date), and (ii) the cash portion of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Equityholder hereunder (including such portions of the Indemnification Holdback, the Working Capital Holdback, and the Administrative Account allocated to such Equityholder), except for Claims for fraud against an Equityholder, which Claim shall be pursued only against the Equityholder actually committing such fraud.

(d)           Upon exhaustion or release of the Indemnification Holdback in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, any indemnification obligations of the Equityholders for which the Indemnification Holdback is not the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of the Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 12 shall be several and not joint and shall be allocated among the Equityholders solely based on their respective Consideration Percentages; provided, that in the event of any Claim for fraud against an Equityholder, such Claim shall be pursued only against the Equityholder actually committing such fraud.

12.3                        Indemnification by Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation.

(a)           Subject to the remainder of this Section 12.3 and Section 12.6, Purchaser covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Equityholders and their Representatives, heirs and successors (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees” and individually each a “Company Indemnitee”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of

53

the Company Indemnitees for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Company Indemnitees (regardless of whether such Damages relate to any Third-Party Claim), arising out of or resulting from:  (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser or Merger Sub in this Agreement; or (ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement.

12.4                        Procedures Relative to Indemnification.

(a)           Notice.  In the event that any party hereto shall claim that it is entitled to be indemnified, defended or held harmless pursuant to the terms of this Section 12 (each, a “Claim”), such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly (but in no event in more than twenty (20) Business Days of after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Claim notify the party or parties against which the Claim is made (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (a “Claim Notice”) of such Claim, provided, however, that failure to provide such notice will not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder except if and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.  Where the Claim is based upon any claim of a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver the Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party receives notice of any action, Legal Proceeding, demand or assessment or otherwise has received notice of matters that would reasonably be expected to result in a Third-Party Claim.  Where the Claim is not based upon any claim of a third-party (an “Internal Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver the Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of matters that would reasonably be expected to result in an Internal Claim.  A Claim Notice (i) shall specify the breach of representation, warranty, agreement or covenant claimed by the Indemnified Party, (ii) shall describe the matters underlying the Claim with reasonable specificity, (iii) if a written claim or demand has been made by a third party, shall include a copy of such claim or demand, together with any other written documentation provided by such third party, and (iv) if known, shall estimate with reasonable specificity the Damages to the Indemnified Party arising as a result of the Claim.

(b)           Third-Party Claims.  The following provisions shall apply to Third-Party Claims of the Indemnified Party (including any form of Proceeding filed or instituted by any Governmental Body; provided, however, that in the case of any Tax Claim as addressed by Section 12.4(f) hereof, the provisions of Section 12.4(f) shall govern):

54

(i)            The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon receipt of the Claim Notice and at its expense, to defend such Third-Party Claim in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Indemnified Party if, within thirty (30) days from receipt of a Claim Notice the Indemnifying Party provides notice to the Indemnified Party that it intends to undertake such defense and acknowledges that the Claim is subject to full indemnification hereunder.  The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, to participate in the defense with counsel of its choice provided, however, that if, in the good faith opinion of the Indemnified Party’s counsel, representation by the Indemnifying Party’s counsel may present a conflict of interest, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense with counsel of its choice at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required if (i) pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, officers or agents, (ii) the relief provided is anything other than monetary damages paid in full by the Indemnifying Party (other than to the extent that, if applicable, the Basket Amount applies to such Claim) or (iii) such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, officers or agents from all Liabilities and obligations with respect to such Claim, without prejudice.

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 12.4(b)(i) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control, and the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

i.              the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing that it shall be fully responsible for all Damages relating to such Third-Party Claim, which acknowledgement shall be deemed given by the Equityholders if given by the Stockholder Representative in its capacity as representative to the Equityholders;

ii.             the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of notice of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party must diligently defend such proceeding;

iii.            the Indemnifying Party must furnish the Indemnified Party with evidence that the financial resources of the Indemnifying Party, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, are and will be sufficient to satisfy any Damages relating to such proceeding;

iv.            such proceeding shall not involve (A) criminal actions or allegations of criminal conduct by the Indemnified Party, (B) claims for specific performance or injunctive relief or (C) an attempt by the claimant to restrain or enjoin Purchaser, the Surviving

55

Corporation, or their respective Subsidiaries from engaging in their respective ongoing businesses; and

v.             there does not exist, in the Indemnified Party’s good faith judgment, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, a conflict of interest which, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could reasonably be expected to prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding.

(iii)          The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Claim Notice, to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes the Third-Party Claim that is the subject of indemnification hereunder.  If the Indemnifying Party does not timely notify the Indemnified Party of such dispute, then such Claim shall be deemed an indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.

(iv)          In the event the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party does not wish to defend the Third-Party Claim or that it disputes that the Third-Party Claim is the subject of indemnification hereunder, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct a defense against such Third-Party Claim and shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third-Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, but subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12.

(c)           Internal Claims.  Upon receipt of a Claim Notice that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party does not timely notify the Indemnified Party that it disputes such Claim, then such Claim shall be deemed an indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, but the amount payable with respect to such Claim shall remain subject to determination.  If the Indemnifying Party does timely notify the Indemnified Party of such dispute, then the Indemnified Party shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Claim Notice to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnifying Party.  If after such 30 day period there remains a dispute as to such Claim, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith for a period not to exceed thirty (30) additional days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such Claim.  If the parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the parties.  If the parties do not agree within such additional 30 day period, then the Indemnified Party may pursue any and all other remedies available to it under Law.

(d)           Distributions from Indemnification Holdback.  Any payment in satisfaction of any Damages to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party (to an account designated in writing by the Indemnified Party) within fifteen (15) Business Days of the final, non-appealable determination thereof; provided, however, the Indemnification Holdback shall be available to Purchaser Indemnitees as the sole source of recovery of any Damages pursuant to the terms of this Section 12, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12, and the terms of the Escrow Agreement and each of Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative covenants and agrees to timely and promptly execute and deliver any and all joint

56

written instructions or other instruments required under the Escrow Agreement upon final resolution of any Damages or a final, non-appealable determination thereof.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Claim of any Purchaser Indemnitee for which the Indemnification Holdback is not the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy under this Section 12, such Purchaser Indemnitee shall nevertheless first exhaust the Indemnification Holdback before proceeding to make an indemnification claim against the Equityholders directly, provided, that if a claim for indemnity hereunder is for an amount that is greater than the Indemnification Holdback the Purchaser Indemnitee may proceed against the Equityholders directly while also proceeding against the Indemnification Holdback.  The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within the fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of such final, non-appealable determination to the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%).  Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(e)           Any payments made pursuant to this Section 12 shall constitute an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Purchaser, Company and the Equityholders on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

(f)            Tax Contest.

(i)            If a party is responsible for the payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 12 (the “Tax Indemnifying Party”) and the other party to this Agreement (the “Tax Indemnified Party”) receives notice of any deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination, suit, dispute or other claim (a “Tax Claim”) with respect to such Taxes, the Tax Indemnified Party will promptly notify (and, in any event, within 30 days of the receipt of notice of any such Tax Claim) the Tax Indemnifying Party in writing of such Tax Claim, but the failure to so notify the Tax Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Tax Indemnifying Party of any liability they may have to the Tax Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Tax Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby.

(ii)           With respect to any Tax Claim, the Tax Indemnifying Party will assume and control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim and, without limiting the foregoing, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any applicable governmental Persons with respect thereto, and may either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that the Tax Indemnifying Party will consult with the Tax Indemnified Party in the negotiation and settlement of any Tax Claim and the Tax Indemnifying Party will not, without the written consent of the Tax Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any Tax Claim in any manner if such settlement or compromise would have the effect of increasing the Taxes of the Tax Indemnified Party (“Indemnified Party Tax Increase”); provided, that, to the extent that a Tax Claim relates to the Straddle Period, Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative will jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any such Tax Claim.

(iii)          The Tax Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Tax Indemnifying Party in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation will include the retention

57

and upon the Tax Indemnifying Party’s request the provision to the Tax Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.

(iv)          Neither party will settle or compromise a Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of Company or a Subsidiary for a Straddle Period without the other party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed.

(g)           The amount of any Damages associated with any Claim under this Section 12 shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of any insurance recovery or Tax Benefit (less the reasonable costs of receiving such insurance recovery or Tax Benefit) that the Indemnified Party actually receives with respect to the event that caused such Damages.

12.5                        Sole Remedy.

OTHER THAN CLAIMS FOR FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION AGAINST AN EQUITYHOLDER TO THE EXTENT AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE EQUITYHOLDERS, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OF THE OTHER COMPANY INDEMNITEES, AND PURCHASER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OF THE OTHER PURCHASER INDEMNITEES, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OR INACCURACY, OR ALLEGED BREACH OR INACCURACY, OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, SHALL BE INDEMNIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 12.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.5 SHALL NOT, HOWEVER, PREVENT OR LIMIT A CAUSE OF ACTION BASED ON FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION COMMITTED BY AN EQUITYHOLDER AND PROSECUTED AGAINST SUCH EQUITYHOLDER.  THE RIGHTS TO INDEMNIFICATION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT BASED ON THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CERTIFICATES DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE AFFECTED BY ANY INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED, OR ANY KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED (OR CAPABLE OF BEING ACQUIRED) AT ANY TIME, WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CLOSING DATE, WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCURACY OR INACCURACY OF OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR AGREEMENT.

12.6                        Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees Other than Purchaser and by Equityholders.

(a)           No Purchaser Indemnitee other than Purchaser (or any successor or assignee thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Purchaser (or any successor assignee thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercising of such other remedy.

58

(b)           No Company Indemnitee or Equityholder shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement except through the Stockholder Representative.

12.7                        No Right of Contribution.

Each Equityholder hereby waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Equityholder 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 or any of its Subsidiaries to satisfy (in whole or in part) any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which such Equityholder may become subject to a Purchaser Indemnitee under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements.

12.8                        Appointment of Stockholder Representative.

(a)           Each Equityholder, by voting to approve this Agreement, surrendering his or her Certificate(s) or by executing and delivering the letter of transmittal, attached hereto as Exhibit D, irrevocably authorizes, directs and appoints Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Equityholders (the “Stockholder Representative”) to act as sole and exclusive agent, attorney-in-fact and Representative of such Equityholder and such Equityholder’s heirs, Representatives and successors for all purposes and of all matters relating to this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, and the Stockholder Representative hereby accepts such appointment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative is specifically empowered and authorized by the Equityholders to:  (i) take any and all actions (including without limitation executing and delivering any documents), incurring any costs and expenses for the account of the Equityholders (including but not limited to employing accountants, investment banks, appraisers, and other experts, attorneys and such other agents as the Stockholder Representative may deem advisable and to pay from the Administrative Account compensation for their services) and making any and all determinations which may be required or permitted to be taken by the Equityholders in connection with this Agreement and any other applicable Transaction Agreement, including but not limited to the Escrow Agreement, (ii) review all Claims asserted by Purchaser and, to the extent deemed appropriate by Stockholder Representative (in its sole and absolute discretion), dispute, question the accuracy of, compromise, settle or otherwise resolve any and all such Claims under this Agreement; (iii) authorize payments to be made with respect to any such Claims; (iv) execute and deliver on behalf of such Equityholders any document or agreement contemplated by or necessary or desirable in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to any amendment of, or waiver to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement; and (v) take such further actions (including coordinating and administering post-closing matters) as are contemplated by or necessary or desirable in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement.

(b)           It shall be the obligation of the Stockholder Representative to inform each Equityholder that is a party to that certain Engagement Agreement, dated on or about the date hereof, by and among the Stockholder Representative, the Company, and certain of the Equityholders, of all material notices received and all material actions, decisions, notices and

59

exercises of any rights, power or authority proposed to be done, given or taken by it; provided, that any failure of the Stockholder Representative to comply with the foregoing shall not affect the validity of any action taken or not taken by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement.  Any actions, exercises of rights, power or authority and any decisions or determinations made by the Stockholder Representative shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding on each Equityholder as if each Equityholder personally had taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in such Equityholder’s individual capacity.

(c)           With respect to the matters covered by or related to this Section 12 and the Escrow Agreement, (i) each Equityholder irrevocably relinquishes his or her right to act independently and other than through the Stockholder Representative with respect to such subject matter (except with respect to appointment of a successor Representative), and (ii) no Equityholder shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding against Company, Purchaser or Escrow Agent with respect to any such matter, any such right being irrevocably and exclusively delegated to the Stockholder Representative.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any notice hereunder delivered to Purchaser or a Purchaser Indemnitee by an Equityholder other than through the Stockholder Representative shall be of no effect; provided, that, Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnitees may elect at their sole discretion to give effect to any notice delivered by any Equityholder.  Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholder Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of the Equityholders by the Stockholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of the Equityholders by the Stockholder Representative, as fully binding upon the Equityholders other than in the event of patent fraud.

(d)           In taking any action whatsoever hereunder, the Stockholder Representative shall be protected in relying upon any notice, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine, or upon any evidence reasonably deemed by it to be sufficient.  The Stockholder Representative may consult with counsel in connection with its duties hereunder and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith or in accordance with the advice of counsel.  The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Equityholders for the performance of any act or the failure to act so long as such actions, or failure to act, was not fraudulent.  The Equityholders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative (severally in accordance with each such Equityholder’s Consideration Percentage and not jointly) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, obligations, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) and other Damages (collectively, “Representative Losses”) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Stockholder Representative in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or any related agreement or instrument or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative under or in connection therewith, in each case as such Representative Loss is incurred or suffered; provided, that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the bad faith of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Losses attributable to such bad faith. If not paid directly to the

60

Stockholder Representative by the Equityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) any funds available in the Administrative Account and (ii) any funds in the Indemnification Holdback otherwise distributable to the Equityholders pursuant to the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Stockholder Representative to the Escrow Agent; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the Administrative Account and the Indemnification Holdback, such provision does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as such Representative Losses are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.  If an action or proceeding with respect to which the Stockholder Representative is entitled to indemnification hereunder should be commenced or threatened against the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to draw from the Administrative Account, as and when incurred by it, all fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation and defense thereof.

(e)           The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice by submitting a written resignation to Purchaser, with copies to the Equityholders at their addresses on the stock books of Company.  In the event of the death, physical or mental incapacity or resignation of the Stockholder Representative, the Equityholders shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days of notice of such event) appoint a successor Stockholder Representative.

13.                               MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

13.1                        Expenses; Attorneys’ Fees.

(a)           Subject to Section 12, each of the Equityholders and Purchaser shall bear and pay their own respective fees, costs and expenses that have been incurred by such Entity in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the Transactions, including all legal, due diligence, accounting and investment banking fees and expenses, regardless if the Transactions are consummated.

(b)           If any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Agreement, or the other Transaction Agreements in connection herewith, or the enforcement of any provision of such items is brought against any party hereto pursuant to Section 12 above, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover Damages, which include reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).

13.2                        Transfer Taxes.
