3.3 Adjustments.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement, together with all supporting documentation or information as Parent shall reasonably request, setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) all cash and cash equivalents held by the Company on the Closing Date (“Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents”), which shall include all short-term and long-term certificates of deposit held by the Company, the amount of any letters of credit (provided that such letter of credit is backed by a restricted cash deposit with the issuing bank), and any security deposits made by the Company; provided, however, that if any Person holding such letter of credit or security deposit requires Parent or the Surviving Corporation to maintain such letter of credit or security deposit after the Closing, such items shall not be deemed Cash and Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Agreement (“Cash and Cash Equivalents”), and (ii) (A) the Net Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the Closing Date (“Estimated Net Assets”) prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the accounting principles set forth on Schedule 3.3(a) (the “Accounting Principles”) and (B) the amount by which the Estimated Net Assets are greater than or less than $4,984,590 (“Target Net Assets”).

(b) On the Closing Date, the Base Consideration shall be increased, if applicable, by an amount equal to the Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents, and decreased, if applicable, by an amount equal to the amount by which the Estimated Net Assets at Closing are less than the Target Net Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Base Consideration be increased if the Estimated Net Assets exceed the Target Net Assets. The Aggregate Merger Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.3(b), is referred to herein as the “Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration”).

(c) Following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Representative, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than ninety (90) days

following the Closing Date, a statement (the “Closing Statement”), together with all supporting documentation or information as the Representative shall reasonably request, setting forth, in reasonable detail, Parent’s calculation of (i) (A) the Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company as of the Closing Date (“Final Cash and Cash Equivalents”) and (B) the amount by which the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents exceed or are less than, as applicable, the Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents and (ii) (A) the Net Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the Closing Date (the “Final Net Assets”) prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Accounting Principles and (B) the amount by which the Final Net Assets exceed or are less than, as applicable, the Estimated Net Assets.

(d) The Representative shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Closing Statement (the “Objection Period”) to review the Closing Statement. Parent shall grant the Representative access at reasonable times and places and upon reasonable advance notice to all books, records and employees of the Surviving Corporation as reasonably requested by the Representative in connection with his review of the Closing Statement. Upon the expiration of the Objection Period, the Representative, on behalf of all stockholders of the Company, shall be deemed to have accepted, and shall be bound by, the Closing Statement and the calculation therein of the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents and the Final Net Assets, unless the Representative shall have informed Parent in writing of its disagreement with the Closing Statement prior to the expiration of the Objection Period (the “Objection”), specifying each disputed item and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such dispute (each, a “Disputed Item”). Parent shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which it receives the Objection (the date on which such thirty (30) day period ends, the “Response Date”) to review and respond to such Objection. If Parent and the Representative are able to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution of each Disputed Item, and each signs a certificate to that effect, the Closing Statement and the calculation therein of the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents and the Final Net Assets, as adjusted to reflect such resolution, shall be deemed final, non-appealable and binding for purposes of this Agreement. If any Disputed Items have not been resolved by the Response Date, either Parent or the Representative may refer such Disputed Items to an independent, mutually agreeable, nationally recognized public accounting firm (the “Accounting Referee”) who shall accept its appointment within seven (7) days after such referral, to make a final, non-appealable and binding determination as to such remaining Disputed Items pursuant to the terms hereof. The Accounting Referee shall be directed to make a determination in accordance with Section 3.3(e) below of the Disputed Items promptly, but no later than sixty (60) days, after acceptance of its appointment. Parent and the Representative agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect the selection and appointment of the Accounting Referee pursuant to this Section 3.3(d), including executing an engagement agreement with the Accounting Referee providing for reasonable and customary compensation and other terms of such engagement. Parent and the Representative shall make readily available to the Accounting Referee all relevant books, records and employees of the Company and the Surviving Corporation that are reasonably requested by the Accounting Referee in connection with the Accounting Referee’s review of any Disputed Items; provided, however, that Parent, the Representative and their Affiliates shall not be obligated to provide any information the disclosure of which would jeopardize any privilege available to such Person relating to such information or which would cause such Person to breach a confidentiality obligation to which it is bound; provided, further, however, that Parent, the Representative and their Affiliates shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effects of any such limitations.

(e) If Disputed Items are referred to the Accounting Referee for resolution pursuant to Section 3.3(d) above, the Accounting Referee shall determine only with respect to the Disputed Items submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents and the Final Net Assets set forth in the Closing Statement require adjustment. Any finding by the Accounting Referee shall be a reasoned award stating in reasonable detail the findings of fact on which it is based, shall be final, non-appealable and binding upon the Parties and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding the Disputed Items so presented. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by Parent and the Escrowed Holders (as defined below) in the same proportion that the dollar amount of Disputed Items which are not resolved in favor of Parent or the Escrowed Holders, as applicable, bears to the total dollar amount of Disputed Items resolved by the Accounting Referee. Each of Parent and the Escrowed Holders shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of its own accountants and all of its other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 3.3.

(f) Payment of the Adjustments.

(i) Payment of the adjustments as contemplated by this Section 3.3(f) shall be made (A) if no Objection is made by the Representative during the Objection Period, within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the Objection Period or (B) if the Representative submits an Objection within the Objection Period, within five (5) Business Days following final resolution of all Disputed Items by either Parent and the Representative or the Accounting Referee.

(ii) If the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents exceed the Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents, Parent shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, an amount in cash equal to such excess to the Exchange Agent (as defined below) for payment to the Escrowed Holders in accordance with the Exchange Agent Agreement (as defined below). Any such amounts shall be promptly distributed to the Escrowed Holders in accordance with each such holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below).

(iii) If the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents are less than the Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents, Parent shall recover from the Escrow Fund (as defined below) the amount of such difference in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(iv) If the Final Net Assets exceed the Estimated Net Assets and the Aggregate Merger Consideration was decreased at Closing because the Estimated Net Assets were less than the Target Net Assets, Parent shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, an amount in cash equal to such excess to the Exchange Agent for payment to the Escrowed Holders in accordance with the Exchange Agent Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the sum of the Estimated Net Assets and the payment contemplated by this Section 3.3(f)(iv) exceed the Target Net Assets. Any such amounts shall be promptly distributed to the Escrowed Holders in accordance with each such holder’s Pro Rata Share.

(v) If the Final Net Assets are less than the Estimated Net Assets and the Target Net Assets, Parent shall recover from the Escrow Fund the amount of such difference between the Final Net Assets and the Estimated Net Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(vi) The Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration as adjusted by this Section 3.3 is referred to herein as the “Final Aggregate Merger Consideration”.

3.4 Company Warrants. All warrants to purchase Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Warrants”) shall be exercised immediately prior to Closing or shall terminate at the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions as may be necessary, if any, to effect the treatment of the Company Warrants contemplated by the foregoing sentence.

3.5 Company Stock Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stock Options”) that is unexercised, unexpired and then outstanding shall become fully vested and exercisable with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock subject thereto. Such Company Stock Options shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time and each holder thereof (each, an “Optionholder”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof, as set forth in this Section 3.5. At the Effective Time and on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Optionholder shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company, be entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration equal to (a) the per share consideration allocated to each share of Company Common Stock, as determined pursuant to Schedule 3.1(b) hereto, multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to all Company Stock Options held by such Optionholder, less (b) the aggregate cash exercise price payable upon exercise of all Company Stock Options held by such Optionholder. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall make any amendments to the terms of the Company Stock Option Plan and obtain any consents from the Optionholders that, in each case, are necessary to effect the treatment of the Company Stock Options contemplated by the foregoing sentence.

3.6 Exchange Agent; Exchange Fund.

(a) Exchange Agent. At the Closing, Parent shall enter into an exchange agent agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) pursuant to which Parent shall appoint The Bank of New York (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as exchange agent hereunder for the purpose of distributing the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Fund. Upon the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the stockholders of the Company and the Optionholders, cash in an aggregate amount sufficient to pay the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration, less the Escrow Amount to be deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the

provisions of Article X (the “Exchange Fund”). From time to time after the Closing Date, Parent shall promptly deposit with the Exchange Agent such amounts, if any, either directly or from the Escrow Fund, to be added to the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund in an insured deposit account, as directed by Parent, and any interest or other earnings with respect thereto shall be paid to Parent as and when requested by Parent.

3.7 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Subject to the receipt by Parent prior to the Effective Time of all information reasonably requested by Parent, immediately following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail (i) to each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) (A) a letter of transmittal, in customary form prepared by Parent and delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time, which shall specify that delivery shall be effective, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and that the holders are agreeing to appoint the Representative upon the terms set forth in Section 10.3 of this Agreement, and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of such Certificates in exchange for a portion of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration, and (ii) to each Optionholder a letter of transmittal, in customary form prepared by the Parent and delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time, which shall specify that the Optionholders are agreeing to appoint the Representative upon the terms set forth in Section 10.3 of this Agreement. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or other documentation in compliance with Section 3.10 hereof), as applicable, and/or a letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, to the Exchange Agent, together with such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, each stockholder and Optionholder delivering such documents shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor its respective portion of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration, less the portion of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration allocable to such stockholder or Optionholder that has been deposited in the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.2.

(b) No interest will be paid or will accrue for the benefit of Company stockholders or Optionholders on any Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III. All payments of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III made by the Exchange Agent shall be made by wire transfer or check and delivered in person or by mail to the address specified in the applicable letter of transmittal.

(c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Capital Stock prior to the Effective Time which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III shall be payable to such transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Capital Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid, each in the sole and reasonable discretion of the Exchange Agent.

3.8 Termination of the Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the stockholders of the Company and the Optionholders on the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, and any stockholder of the Company or any Optionholder who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent for its respective portion of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III with respect to the Company Capital Stock or Company Stock Options formerly represented thereby to which such stockholder or Optionholder, as applicable, is entitled pursuant to this Article III, and Parent shall, upon the request of any such former stockholder of the Company or former Optionholder, promptly pay to such former stockholder or former Optionholder the portion of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration to which he, she or it is entitled, less the portion of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration allocable to such stockholder or Optionholder that has been deposited in the Escrow Fund. Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by former stockholders of the Company or former Optionholders on the date that is five (5) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority pursuant to applicable Law) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Representative or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to and in full compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Law.

3.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, all Certificates representing Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each stockholder of the Company shall cease to have any rights with respect to such stockholder’s Certificates, except for the right to receive its respective portion of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.7 (other than Certificates representing Company Capital Stock to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1(c) and for Dissenting Shares).

3.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III with respect to the Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby; provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion, require the Person who is the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to (a) provide an indemnification agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Parent, against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and/or (b) post a bond in such reasonable amount and for such reasonable period of time as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate; provided, that Parent shall only be entitled to enforce this clause (b) against Persons owning Certificates representing the right to receive at least $1,000,000 of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration.

3.11 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III or otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or under any applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the stockholder of the Company in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

3.12 Stock Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.

3.13 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Parent with control over, and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall, in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise, be fully authorized to take all such lawful and necessary action.

3.14 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held by persons who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) and as of the Effective Time have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost any right to such appraisal, shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Estimated Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by them in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect, effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any dissenting stockholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever occurs later, such Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Estimated Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this Article III, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates representing such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 3.7. The Company shall provide Parent (a) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of any shares of Company Capital Stock, the withdrawal of such demands and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company, and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL.

In addition, for a period of six (6)

years following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to indemnification and exculpation that are at least as favorable as the indemnification and exculpation provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, and, during such six-year period, Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Surviving Corporation to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify any of such provisions, except as required by Law.

In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated as provided herein, each of the parties shall be relieved of their duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination shall be without liability to Parent, the Company or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates; provided, however, that the obligations of the parties set forth in this Article IX, Article XI hereof and the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall survive any such termination and shall be enforceable hereunder; provided, further, however, that nothing in this Section 9.3 shall relieve Parent or the Company of any Liability for a breach of this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Company agree that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following such termination, neither Parent nor the Company, as applicable, shall directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any individuals to leave the Company’s or Parent’s, or any of their respective Subsidiaries’, as applicable, employ for any reason or interfere in any other manner with the employment relationships at the time existing between the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, and its current employees; provided, however, that (a) general advertising or solicitation by general media, the Internet or other general recruiting means and participation at job fairs and recruiting workshops by either party and (b) soliciting, inducing, recruiting or encouraging any individuals who contact either party on their own initiative, in each case, shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 9.3.

ARTICLE X

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS; INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 General Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and the certificate to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(c) (the “Closing Certificate”) shall survive the Merger and continue until the date that is two (2) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 4.10 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing until the

date that is seven (7) years from the Effective Time (in each case, the “Survival Period”); provided, further, however, that if any bona fide Indemnification Claims (as defined below) have been asserted in accordance with this Article X and the Escrow Agreement prior to the termination of the applicable Survival Period, such claims shall continue in effect until final resolution of such claims. The covenants and agreements of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time shall survive the Effective Time.

10.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnity. Subject to Sections 10.1, 10.2(c) and 10.5, from and after the Effective Time and until the termination of the applicable Survival Period, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), shall be indemnified and held harmless (on a several (but not joint) basis) by each holder of Company Capital Stock who does not perfect its appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, each dissenting stockholder who withdraws or otherwise terminates its appraisal rights pursuant to the DGCL and each Optionholder (collectively, “Escrowed Holders”), from and to the extent of such Escrowed Holder’s proportionate interest in the Escrow Fund, from and against and in respect of all Losses resulting from, arising out of, relating to, imposed upon or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any other Indemnitee by reason of:

(i) the failure of any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement or the Closing Certificate to be true, correct and complete on the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date, except that any such representations and warranties which by their express terms are made solely as of a specified earlier date shall be true, correct and complete only as of such specified earlier date, in each case, determined without giving effect to any Material Adverse Effect or materiality qualifications contained in such representations and warranties;

(ii) any breach or failure by the Company to perform any of the covenants or agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement that are to be performed prior to the Effective Time;

(iii) any claims arising out of, related to, or in connection with the exercise of appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL;

(iv) any amounts recoverable by Parent under Section 3.3(f);

(v) any fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee payable under Section 3.3(d); and

(vi) the termination of the Contract set forth on Schedule 7.14 at or prior to the Effective Time or, in the event such Contract is not terminated at or prior to the Effective Time, any claims arising out of, related to, or in connection with the termination of the Contract set forth on Schedule 7.14 following the Effective Time.

(b) Escrow Fund. To provide a fund against which an Indemnitee may assert claims of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnification Claim”), at Closing Parent shall deposit $30,000,000 of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Escrow Amount”) into an interest-bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Fund”). The Escrow Amount, and interest and other earnings payable thereon, shall be held and distributed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Parent shall be the owner of the Escrow Fund for tax purposes, and all parties will file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by Law. All distributions made to the Escrowed Holders out of the Escrow Fund shall be based on such stockholder’s proportionate interest in the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration it is entitled to receive pursuant to Article III (“Pro Rata Share”). Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, up to $10,000,000 of the Escrow Amount shall be released from the Escrow Fund on the date that is one (1) year following the Closing Date, with up to an additional $10,000,000 of the Escrow Amount to be released from the Escrow Fund on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date and the remaining $10,000,000 of the Escrow Amount to be released from the Escrow Fund on the date that is two (2) years following the Closing Date.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Escrowed Holders shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) until such time as the total amount of all Losses that have been suffered or incurred by the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), other than Losses attributable to any breach of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 4.2 (Authorization of Agreement), 4.4 (Capitalization), 4.5 (Subsidiaries; Investments), 4.10 (Taxes) or 4.27 (Financial Advisors), exceeds $625,000, and, in such event, the Escrowed Holders shall be required to pay the entire amount of such Losses (after deducting therefrom an amount equal to $250,000).

(ii) The total amount of Losses which the Escrowed Holders shall be obligated to pay to the Indemnitees under Section 10.2(a) shall not exceed the Escrow Fund and the amount of Losses each Escrowed Holder shall be obligated to pay the Indemnitees under Section 10.2(a) shall not exceed its, his or her Pro Rata Share of such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate liability of any Escrowed Holder for any Indemnification Claim involving fraud or intentional misrepresentation or omissions on the part of the Company, or any Indemnification Claim resulting from a breach of the Tax representations and warranties contained in Section 4.10 of this Agreement, shall not be limited to the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that, in no event shall any Escrowed Holder be liable for Losses attributable to any breach of the Tax representations contained in Section 4.10 of this Agreement in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of its, his or her Pro Rata Share of such Losses, and an Escrowed Holder’s aggregate liability in respect of such Losses shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of its, his or her respective portion of the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration; provided, further, however, that the amount of Losses each Escrowed Holder shall be obligated to pay the Indemnitees for any Indemnification Claim attributable to fraud or intentional misrepresentation or omissions on the part of the Company shall not exceed

its, his or her Pro Rata Share of such Losses and an Escrowed Holder’s aggregate liability in respect of such Losses shall not exceed the portion of the Final Aggregate Merger Consideration received by such Escrowed Holder.

(iii) An Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article X based on the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or based on the failure of such representation or warranty to be true, correct and complete as of the date hereof or the Closing Date shall not be diminished or otherwise affected in any way as a result of the existence of such Indemnitee’s Knowledge of such breach or untruth as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether such Knowledge exists as a result of the Indemnitee’s investigation or as a result of disclosure by the Company (or any other Person), unless such disclosures were set forth in this Agreement or in any applicable schedules hereto.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recovery from the Escrowed Holders for any exemplary, special, indirect or consequential Losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits and diminution in value).

(v) The amount of Losses recoverable by any Indemnitee under this Agreement with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by (A) the amount of any payment actually received by such Indemnitee from any insurance policy net of any deductibles or other amounts payable with respect thereto, and (B) the amount of any net Tax benefits actually received by the Indemnitee, in each case, in the year the indemnification payment is made or in any prior year, resulting from the incurrence or payment of such Losses.

(d) Manner of Indemnification. Each Indemnification Claim shall be made only in accordance with this Article X and the Escrow Agreement.

10.3 Representative. For purposes of this Agreement, the Escrowed Holders, without any further action on the part of any such Escrowed Holder, shall be deemed to have consented to the appointment of Jason Nevader (or, if Jason Nevader is offered and accepts a full-time management position with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, David Bohnett shall become the Representative automatically and without any further action on the part of the Escrowed Holders) as the Representative of such Escrowed Holders, as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each such Escrowed Holder, and the taking by the Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by him under this Agreement, including the exercise of the power to (a) execute this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (b) authorize delivery to Parent and the Surviving Corporation of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of Indemnification Claims, (c) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such Indemnification Claims, (d) resolve any Indemnification Claims, and (e) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Accordingly, the Representative has unlimited authority and power to act on behalf of each Escrowed Holder with respect to this

Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the disposition, settlement or other handling of all Indemnification Claims, rights or obligations arising from and taken pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Escrowed Holders will be bound by all actions taken by the Representative in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Representative. The Representative will incur no liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by him in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by him to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person (and shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction, except his own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. In all questions arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Representative may rely on the advice of counsel, and the Representative will not be liable to Escrowed Holders for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Representative based on such advice. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, up to $250,000 of the reasonable expenses of the Representative shall be paid from the Escrow Fund on an as incurred basis. The Representative will not be required to take any action involving any expense unless the payment of such expense is made or provided for in a manner satisfactory to him. At any time during the term of the Escrow Agreement, Escrowed Holders entitled to a majority in interest of the Escrow Amount can appoint a new Representative by written consent by sending notice and a copy of the duly executed written consent appointing such new Representative to Parent and the Escrow Agent. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Parent, Merger Sub (or, if after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and the Escrow Agent.

10.4 Third Party Claims. If Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim that Parent believes, in good faith, may result in an Indemnification Claim, Parent shall notify the Representative of such claim, and shall conduct the defense of such claim. The Representative, as representative for the Escrowed Holders, shall be entitled to participate in any such defense. The reasonable costs of the defense of any third-party action or claim incurred by the Representative shall be paid by the Escrowed Holders. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Parent shall conduct such defense, but shall not settle any such claim without the consent of the Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if the consent of the Representative is so obtained, such settlement of that portion of any such claim shall alone be determinative of the amount of the claim against the Escrow Amount, and neither the Representative nor any person who has a beneficial interest in the Escrow Amount shall have any power or authority to object under any provision of this Article X to the amount of any demand by Parent against the Escrow Amount with respect to such settlement.

10.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Article X, the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees from and after the Effective Time for any Indemnification Claims arising under this Agreement, including claims of breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief, or any right or remedy arising by reason of any (a) fraud or willful misrepresentation with the respect to this Agreement or the Closing Certificate and (b) litigation or other claims related to the exercise of appraisal or similar rights

by any holders of outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock who hold such shares as of, or prior to, the Closing Date. The obligations of the Escrowed Holders of the Company under this Article X shall not be reduced, offset, eliminated or subject to contribution by reason of any action or inaction by the Company that contributed to any inaccuracy or breach given rise to such obligation, it being understood that the Escrowed Holders, not the Company, shall have the sole obligation for the indemnification obligations under this Article X.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). The parties hereto agree that (a) in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party of any covenant, obligation, or other provision of this Agreement applicable to such party, the other parties shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available) to seek (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, and (b) neither such other parties shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or proceeding.

11.2 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably submits itself in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the courts referred to in the proceeding sentence. Each party hereby consents to process being served in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof to the address set forth in Section 11.5 hereof and agrees that such service upon receipt shall constitute good and sufficient service of process or notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 11.2 shall affect or eliminate any right to serve process in any other matter permitted by law.

(b) The Company and Parent each hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action or cause of action (i) arising under this Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise. The Company and Parent each hereby agree and consent that any such claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that any party may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

11.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and the Non-Disclosure Agreement) represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof or thereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, as applicable, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

11.4 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto, the Company Disclosure Schedule and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein are not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, except the rights granted to the Covered Parties under Section 7.7 and the rights granted to the Indemnitees under Article X.
