If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event, then the maximum and minimum Average Closing Price set forth in the definition of “Average Closing Price”, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

          (i) Fractional Share. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and such fractional interests will not entitle the owner thereof to any rights as a stockholder of the Parent. In lieu of issuing a fractional interest in a share of Parent Stock otherwise required to be paid under this Agreement, each Person who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Stock shall receive cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of such fractional interest multiplied by the Average Closing Price. For avoidance of doubt, fractional shares of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation may be issued in connection with the Merger.

          (j) Stockholder Loans. At the Effective Time, Parent shall pay to the Surviving Corporation the amount in cash (the “Stockholder Loan Repayment”), set forth on Section 2.6(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, equal to the aggregate unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest on the outstanding notes issued to Company by the Company Stockholders set forth on Section 2.6(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in connection with the acquisition by such Persons of shares of Company Stock. Section 2.6(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, for each such borrower, the amount of such unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest as of the date hereof; provided, however, that Company shall update such calculation two (2) business days prior to the expected Closing Date to show, for each such borrower, the amount of such unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest as of the Closing Date. Such payment by Parent to the Surviving Corporation of the Stockholder Loan Repayment shall be deemed to be on behalf of such borrowers and, upon the making of such payment, such notes shall be deemed fully repaid and discharged. Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent, with respect to each such borrower, to deduct from such borrower’s Stockholder Merger Payment the applicable portion of the Stockholder Loan Payment as set forth on Section 2.6(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

     Section 2.7 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to pay, deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Securityholder, such amounts as may be required to be paid, deducted and/or withheld with respect to the

making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), or any other Legal Requirement. To the extent that amounts are so paid, deducted and/or withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Securityholder in respect of which such payment, deduction or withholding was made. With respect to withholdings required to be made on Parent Stock issued to a holder of an Eligible Vested Company Option pursuant to Section 2.4, Parent agrees to withhold shares of Parent Stock (in lieu of cash) in an amount equal to the amount required to be withheld on account of the Parent Stock divided by the Average Closing Price.

     Section 2.8 Unclaimed Amounts. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by Company Securityholders two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.4)) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of Parent, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

     Section 2.9 Earn-Out Payments.

Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to maintain all books, records and documentation detailing the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA until 2015.

               (iv) The Contingent Transaction Expenses, if any, payable with respect to the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for any Fiscal Year shall be paid out of, and deducted from, such Earn-Out Payment, as provided below.

          (d) As soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of each Fiscal Year within the Earn-Out Period, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the completion of the audit of Parent’s consolidated financial statements for such Fiscal Year, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a statement (an “Adjusted EBITDA Statement”) certified by Parent’s chief financial officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the Parent’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for such Fiscal Year and the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for such Fiscal Year (including any Contingent Transaction Expenses to be deducted therefrom). In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative objects to Adjusted EBITDA and/or the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for such Fiscal Year (collectively, the “Disputed Amounts”) set forth in the Adjusted EBITDA Statement, then within thirty (30) days after the delivery to the Stockholders’ Representative of the Adjusted EBITDA Statement (the “Response Period”), the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to Parent (with a copy to the Surviving Corporation) a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the Stockholders’ Representative’s objections to the Adjusted EBITDA Statement and/or the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for such Fiscal Year and setting forth the Surviving Corporation’s Adjusted EBITDA and/or the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for such Fiscal Year determined by the Stockholders’ Representative to be correct. During the Response Period, the Stockholders’ Representative and its representatives and advisors shall have reasonable access, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement, to the Surviving Corporation’s books and records relating to the Adjusted EBITDA calculation and/or the calculation of any applicable Contingent Transaction Expenses during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, and to the employees, representatives and agents of Parent and the Surviving Corporation who prepared, or assisted in the preparation of, such calculation. If the Stockholders’ Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice to Parent during the Response Period, or if the Stockholders’ Representative sends written notice to Parent prior to the end of the Response Period that it accepts the Adjusted EBITDA Statement (an “Acceptance Notice”), then the Parent’s calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA and the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for such Fiscal Year shall be binding and conclusive on Parent, any and all Earn-Out Eligible Holders and the Stockholders’ Representative.

     In the event the Stockholders’ Representative delivers to Parent an Objection Notice within the Response Period, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall in good faith

negotiate to settle the Disputed Amounts and Parent shall distribute any amount of an Earn-Out Payment that is not a Disputed Amount (an “Acceptable Amount”) in accordance with Section 2.9(e). If no resolution is reached within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Objection Notice to Parent, then the Disputed Amounts shall be finally settled by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accountant”) (which shall not be PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP nor Deloitte & Touche LLP) jointly selected and engaged by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly provide to the Accountant such information as the Accountant may reasonably request in connection with its determination. As promptly as practicable after the engagement of the Accountant, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative may each prepare and submit a presentation to the Accountant. The Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and all determinations made by the Accountant of the Adjusted EBITDA and/or the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for such Fiscal Year shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final, binding and conclusive on Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any and all Earn-Out Eligible Holders and the Stockholders’ Representative. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Accountant for its services under this Section 2.9(d). Such fees and expenses of the Accountant payable by Stockholders’ Representative shall be treated as an expense of the Stockholders’ Representative that is reimbursable under the Escrow Agreement and, if insufficient Escrow Funds are available to fully reimburse the Stockholders’ Representative, the unreimbursed portion shall be treated as a Contingent Transaction Expense. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.9(d) for resolving disputes shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes regarding calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and the Earn-Out Payment, if any; provided that this provision shall not prohibit either Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative from instituting litigation to enforce any ruling of the Accountant.

          (e) Within ten (10) days after the Adjusted EBITDA and the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for such Fiscal Year becomes binding and conclusive pursuant to Section 2.9(d) (which, for clarity, means when (i) the Stockholders’ Representative delivers an Acceptance Notice with respect to the whole Earn-Out Payment, (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice with respect to a Disputed Amount, but also delivers an Acceptance Notice with respect to an Acceptable Amount, (iii) the Stockholders’ Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice within the Response Period or (iv) the Accountant notifies Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative of its determination of Adjusted EBITDA and the Earn-Out Payment, if any), Parent shall (1) determine which portion of the Earn-Out Payment for such Fiscal Year (other than any Disputed Amount), after deduction of applicable Contingent Transaction Expenses, if any constitutes the Stockholder Earn-Out Payment for such Fiscal Year and which portion constitutes the Incentive Bonus Plan Amount for such Fiscal Year (2) pay the Stockholder Earn-Out Payment for such Fiscal Year to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders as provided in Schedule 2.9(f) and (3) pay the Incentive Bonus Plan Amount for such Fiscal Year to the Surviving Corporation for distribution to the Eligible Employees as provided in the Incentive Bonus Plan. If any Contingent Transaction Expenses are payable with respect to the aggregate portion of the Earn-Out Payment for such Fiscal Year, then Parent shall deduct from the aggregate portion of the Earn-Out Payment for such Fiscal Year the amount of such Contingent Transaction Expenses

attributable to such portion of the Earn-Out Payment and distribute such amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Person or Persons to whom they are owed.

          (f) The amount of any Stockholder Earn-Out Payment to be paid to each Company Stockholder and the amount of any Incentive Bonus Plan Amount to be paid to the Eligible Employees shall be calculated and allocated as provided in Schedule 2.9(f) (the “Earn-Out Allocation Schedule”), subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, which Schedule has been determined solely by the Company and the Company’s Board of Directors.

          (g) With respect to that portion of the Stockholder Earn-Out Payment to be paid to a Company Stockholder who is an employee of the Company as of the Effective Time as shown on Schedule 2.9(f) and with respect to the Incentive Bonus Plan Amount to be paid to Eligible Employees, Parent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay, in lieu of cash, up to 50% of such payment (the “Stock Election Amount”) through the issuance of a number of shares of Parent Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares with cash paid in lieu of issuing any fractional shares) equal to the Stock Election Amount divided by the average of the closing prices of Parent Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten (10) Trading Days ending on and including the third Trading Day prior to the date the Earn-Out Payment is scheduled to be paid; provided that in the event of an Elective Termination, Parent shall pay any portion of any Accelerated Incentive Bonus Plan Amount payable to Benjamin D. Fischman, to the extent required to be deferred under the Incentive Bonus Plan pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, in cash and not in Parent Stock.

          (h) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.9 such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation is required to pay, deduct and/or withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law, and the Parent or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall make any required filings with and payments to tax authorities relating to any such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so paid, deducted and/or withheld by the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Earn-Out Eligible Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

          (i) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (j) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (k) During the period of time from the Effective Time through the end of Fiscal Year 2012, subject to Schedule 2.9(k):

               (i) Subject to the further provisions of this Section 2.9(k), Surviving Corporation shall operate as a stand-alone operation with the goal of meeting or exceeding the levels of Adjusted EBITDA that would result in the full Earn-Out Payments being distributed in each Fiscal Year. Surviving Corporation shall operate under the supervision and control of the Company Executives. In operating the business, the Surviving Corporation shall comply, and the Company Executives shall cause Surviving Corporation to comply, with Parent’s policies

and procedures as generally applicable to all subsidiaries, divisions, units and groups of Parent (for example, code of conduct, insider trading, compensation approval and anti-trust), provided such policies or procedures are customary in other comparable companies. Surviving Corporation will, and the Company Executives will cause Surviving Corporation to, participate in the Parent’s budgeting and forecasting process on the same basis as Parent’s other subsidiaries, divisions, units or groups with 100 or more employees. Surviving Corporation will prepare, and the Company Executives shall cause the Surviving Corporation to prepare, an annual operating plan that will include, at a minimum, (1) business strategy and objectives, (2) personnel changes, deletions and additions, and compensation and benefits budgets, (3) revenue plans, (4) expense plans, (5) capital expenditure plans and (6) facility utilization and projected capacity needs that reflect, in the Surviving Corporation’s reasonable judgment, a plan that will meet or exceed the levels of Adjusted EBITDA that would result in the full Earn-Out Payments being earned in each Fiscal Year during the Earn-Out Period (the “Annual Operating Plan”). Each Annual Operating Plan shall be subject to the approval of Parent, which shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Annual Operating Plan shall be updated quarterly during Parent’s re-forecasting process by Surviving Corporation. Any material changes to the Annual Operating Plan (including any changes to any updates to such Annual Operating Plan pursuant to the previous sentence) shall be subject to the approval of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.9(k), Surviving Corporation shall have full authority to operate the business within the parameters of the approved Annual Operating Plan (as the same may be updated as described in this Section 2.9(k)(i)). Throughout the Earn Out Period, the Parent Group shall provide access to funds and credit facilities suitable to enable Surviving Corporation to meet its working capital requirements, including without limitation, requirements to fund and secure inventory purchases and post letters of credit to support facility expansion and general corporate matters consistent with the Annual Operating Plan (as the same may be updated as described in this Section 2.9(k)(i)).

               (ii) Subject to Schedule 2.9(k)(ii), the Surviving Corporation shall use the Parent and its current and future subsidiaries (collectively, “Parent Group”) for fulfillment, call center and freight services (as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing), and shall continue to use the Parent Group for email marketing services.

               (iii) Neither Parent nor Company Executives, nor Surviving Corporation (if Company Executives are no longer employed at Surviving Corporation) shall (or permit any of its Authorized Representatives to) operate the business of the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries in a manner that would, or would reasonably be expected to, substantially obstruct, prevent or otherwise materially adversely affect the ability of the Surviving Corporation to attain Adjusted EBITDA in respect of Fiscal Year 2010, Fiscal Year 2011 and Fiscal Year 2012 to the effect of Parent not paying the Aggregate Caps for each year or in the aggregate for all three years.

               (iv) Any and all corporate expenses or services allocated or provided to the Surviving Corporation by the Parent Group after the Effective Time, including any corporate expenses incurred by Surviving Corporation or any member of the Parent Group relating to any legal or regulatory compliance programs, controls or procedures in respect of Surviving

Corporation’s business and operations, (A) shall be consistent with, and determined on the same basis as, the allocations to Parent Group’s other subsidiaries, divisions, units or groups with 100 or more employees, as reasonably determined by Parent’s general counsel or chief financial officer, (B) shall be charged to the Surviving Corporation at the Parent Group’s cost and (C) shall be included for purposes of calculating the Adjusted EBITDA; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be charged for any corporate expenses it or the Parent Group incurs as a result of compliance with SEC, Nasdaq or other regulatory requirements specific to public companies.

               (v) To the extent the Surviving Corporation shall realize cost savings as a result of the corporate expenses and services allocated or provided by Parent, such savings shall be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

               (vi) The chief financial officer, controller or senior vice president-finance of Parent, the chief financial officer of the Surviving Corporation and Stockholders’ Representative shall meet on a quarterly basis (within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter) to review the financial results of the Surviving Corporation and the Adjusted EBITDA calculation for the prior quarter. During such review, the Stockholders’ Representative and its representatives and advisors shall have reasonable access, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement, to the Surviving Corporation’s books and records relating to the Adjusted EBITDA calculation and to the employees, representatives and agents of Parent and the Surviving Corporation who prepared, or assisted in the preparation of, such calculation.

               (vii) Upon request of Surviving Corporation, the Parent Group will use all commercially reasonable efforts to take actions reasonably requested by Surviving Corporation to assist Surviving Corporation to increase revenue and decrease costs, including the following:

     (A) The Parent Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to introduce the Surviving Corporation to clients of the Parent Group so that the Surviving Corporation may enter into relationships to sell products of those clients (it being understood that Parent makes no guarantee that such clients will enter into such relationships). To the extent the Surviving Corporation shall realize revenue from any client relationships of the Parent Group, such revenue and related earnings shall be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA; and

     (B) The Parent Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable Surviving Corporation to realize cost savings as a result of becoming part of the Parent Group (except as set forth in Section 2.9(k)(x)). Subject to Schedule 2.9(k), the Surviving Corporation shall not, and the Company Executives shall cause Surviving Corporation not to, take any actions not reflected in the Annual Operating Plan (as the same may be updated as described in Section 2.9(k)(i)), or fail to take any actions they would otherwise take in the ordinary course of business, to artificially increase Adjusted EBITDA during any Fiscal Year during the Earn-Out Period (including, for example, the Surviving Corporation shall not reduce the salaries of senior management of the Surviving Corporation or fail to recognize any expense for which an employee or contractor is entitled to be reimbursed in the Fiscal Year in which such expense was incurred).

               (viii) If any one-time out-of-pocket expense (e.g., a contract termination fee) incurred by the Surviving Corporation in a Fiscal Year in order to generate cost savings (“Synergy Expense”) exceeds the associated cost savings to the Surviving Corporation for the Fiscal Year in which such expense is incurred (“Annual Synergy Savings”), for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the expense charged to the Surviving Corporation for such Synergy Expense in the Fiscal Year in which such Synergy Expense is incurred may, at the option of Surviving Corporation, be reduced to an amount equal to the associated Annual Synergy Savings and netted against the associated Annual Synergy Savings and, in such event, the amount by which any Synergy Expense exceeded the associated Annual Synergy Savings shall be carried over and shall be an expense of the Surviving Corporation in the subsequent Fiscal Year for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA for such subsequent Fiscal Year.

               (ix) The Surviving Corporation’s capital expenditures, net of reimbursements and any capital expenditures related to moving call center, fulfillment and freight operations to the Parent Group where applicable, for Fiscal Year 2010, Fiscal Year 2011 and Fiscal Year 2012 shall not exceed the amount specified in the table below (the “Cap-X Limit”). If in any Fiscal Year, the Surviving Corporation’s capital expenditures exceed the Cap-X Limit for such Fiscal Year, the amount by which the Surviving Corporation’s actual capital expenditures exceed the Cap-X Limit shall be an expense to the Surviving Corporation in that Fiscal Year for purposes of calculating EBITDA.

Fiscal Year		Cap-X Limit
2010		$5.0 million
2011		$6.0 million
2012		$6.0 million

               (x) During the Earn-Out Period, no member of the Parent Group (other than Surviving Corporation) shall provide compensation or benefits to employees of the Surviving Corporation (whether in the form of cash, equity or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Surviving Corporation (as determined by the Company Executives). Prior to any such compensation or benefits being paid pursuant to the prior sentence, Parent, the Surviving Corporation (as determined by the Company Executives) and the Stockholders’ Representative will agree on how such compensation or benefits will be treated for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the expenses set forth in Section (x) of Schedule 2.9(k) shall not be included for purposes of calculating Adjusted EDITDA.

               (xi) The Surviving Corporation may not enter into or consummate any acquisition (whether by purchase of stock or assets, merger or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative. Prior to the grant of any such consent or approval, Surviving Corporation (as represented by the Company Executives), Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall confer and mutually agree upon the impact of such acquisition and the related revenues and expenses on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

The acceleration of the recognition of any revenue or expense, or the postponement, deferral or avoidance of the incurrence of any revenue, expense or cost, by Surviving Corporation, other than in the ordinary course of business of Surviving Corporation in accordance with GAAP as applied by Parent, which has the effect of increasing or decreasing Adjusted EBITDA during the Earn-Out Period, shall be disregarded, and such revenue, expense or cost shall be deemed recognized or incurred during the period when it would otherwise be recognized or incurred.

          (l) If a Parent Change of Control (as defined below) or a Surviving Corporation Change of Control (as defined below) occurs, (i) Parent shall pay an accelerated Earn-Out Payment (as calculated below) as provided in this Section (an “Accelerated Earn-Out Payment”) and (ii) the calculation for any remaining Earn-Out Payments in the Earn-Out Period shall be adjusted as provided in this Section.

               (i) The “Acceleration Percentage” shall mean:

(a) If a Surviving Corporation Change of Control occurs:

(A) between the Effective Time and the last day of Fiscal 2010, 50%;

(B) during Fiscal 2011, 50% if the 2010 Earn Out Payment is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the 2010 Aggregate Cap; or 0% if the 2010 Earn Out Payment is less than fifty percent (50%) of the 2010 Aggregate Cap;

(C) during Fiscal 2012, 50% if the sum of (x) the 2010 Earn Out Payment and (y) the 2011 Earn Out Payment is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the Aggregate Caps for Fiscal 2010 and 2011; or 0% if the sum of (x) the 2010 Earn Out Payment and (y) the 2011 Earn Out Payment is less than fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the Aggregate Caps for Fiscal 2010 and 2011.

(b) If a Parent Corporation Change of Control occurs:

(A) between the Effective Time and the last day of Fiscal 2010, 50%;

(B) during Fiscal 2011, the lesser of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing the 2010 Earn Out Payment by the 2010 Aggregate Cap and (y) 50%;

(C) during Fiscal 2012, the lesser of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of (a) the 2010 Earn Out

               (ii) Following a Parent Change of Control or Surviving Corporation Change of Control, as the case may be, an Accelerated Earn-Out Payment in the amount equal to Acceleration Percentage multiplied by the sum of the Aggregate Caps for all subsequent Fiscal Years for which Earn-Outs are to be determined shall be paid as provided below.

               (iii) The Earn-Out Payments, if any, for Fiscal Years including and following the year in which the Accelerated Earn-Out Payment is payable, shall be determined by multiplying any such Earn-Out Payment otherwise calculated pursuant to Section 2.9(c) by 100% minus the Acceleration Percentage.

               (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) a Surviving Corporation Change of Control shall occur and (ii) the present value of the consideration to be received by Parent in connection with the Surviving Corporation Change of Control (“Parent Proceeds”) exceeds the sum of (a) One Hundred and Eighty Million Dollars ($180,000,000) plus (b) the Earn Out Payments, if any, earned prior to the date of the Surviving Corporation Change of Control (the sum of clause (a) plus clause (b) shall be the “Prior Payments”), Parent shall pay an Accelerated Earn-Out Payment as an alternative to the amount payable as determined in clause (ii) (the “Alternative Payment”) (but only if the Alternative Payment exceeds the amount payable as determined in clause (ii)) in an amount equal to (a) Parent Proceeds minus the Prior Payments; provided however, that the Alternative Payment plus the Earn-Out Payments, if any earned prior to the date of the Surviving Corporation Change of Control may not exceed One Hundred Seventy Million Dollars ($170,000,000). The amount of the Alternative Payment, if any, shall be credited against and deducted from the Earn Out Payments, if any, as earned after the date of such Surviving Corporation Change of Control on a dollar for dollar basis until the amount of such Alternative Payment has been exhausted.

               (v) Parent shall distribute the Accelerated Earn-Out Payment within ten (10) days after the closing of a Parent Corporation Change of Control or a Surviving Corporation Change of Control. Such payment may be made in cash and shares of Parent Stock as provided in Section 2.9(g). Parent shall (1) determine which portion of the Accelerated Earn-Out Payment, after deduction of applicable Contingent Transaction Expenses, if any constitutes the Accelerated Stockholder Earn-Out Payment and which portion constitutes the Accelerated Incentive Bonus Plan Amount, (2) pay the Accelerated Stockholder Earn-Out Payment to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders as provided in Schedule 2.9(f) and (3) pay the Accelerated Incentive Bonus Plan Amount to the Surviving Corporation for distribution to the Eligible Employees as provided in the Incentive Bonus Plan. If any Contingent Transaction Expenses are payable with respect to such Accelerated Earn-Out Payment, then Parent shall deduct from the Accelerated Earn-Out Payment the amount of such Contingent Transaction Expenses attributable to such Accelerated Earn-Out Payment and distribute such amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Person or Persons to whom they are owed.

               (vi) For the purposes of this Section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY

DENOTE SUCH OMISSIONS.

     “Parent Corporation Change of Control” means any sale of voting securities or sale of assets (whether by sale, merger, consolidation, share exchange, or otherwise in one transaction or a series of transactions) of Parent that results in any third party that is not a stockholder of Parent immediately prior to the Closing becoming the owner of securities of the Parent representing over fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of Parent’s then outstanding securities or all or substantially all of Parent’s assets.

     “Surviving Corporation Change of Control” means any sale of voting securities or sale of assets (whether by sale, merger, consolidation, share exchange, or otherwise in one transaction or a series of transactions) of Surviving Corporation that results in any third party (other than a direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent) becoming the owner of securities of the Surviving Corporation representing over fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of Surviving Corporation’s then outstanding securities or all or substantially all of Surviving Corporation’s assets.

               (vii) Parent shall not effect a Surviving Corporation Change of Control unless: (A) the Parent obtains the written agreement of the acquiring surviving, successor or other Person (the “Successor”) to assume or guarantee, as applicable, the remaining obligations of Parent under this Section 2.9 and (B) such Successor has a net worth equal to or greater than Parent (as demonstrated by each entity’s most recently audited balance sheet). In such event, Parent’s obligations under this Section 2.9 shall be released and discharged.

               (viii) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Accelerated Earn-Out Payment and the other Earn-Out Payments under this Section 2.9 exceed $170,000,000.

          (m) Parent may in its sole discretion, upon ten (10) business days written notice to the Stockholders’ Representative, terminate the obligations of Parent and its affiliates under this Section 2.9 in exchange for payment by Parent to Stockholders’ Representative of an amount equal to the One Hundred and Seventy Million Dollars ($170,000,000) minus the sum of all Earn-Out Payments paid prior to the date of such notice (the “Elective Termination”). Such payment may be made in cash and shares of Parent Stock as provided in Section 2.9(g). For avoidance of doubt, such payment shall also be considered an “Accelerated Earn-Out Payment” for purposes of this Agreement and shall be paid as provided in Section 2.9(l)(v).

          (n) The interests, if any, of any Earn-Out Eligible Holder in such Earn-Out Eligible Holder’s portion of the Earn-Out Payments, if any, pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall not be assignable or transferable, except by operation of law; provided, however, any Earn-Out Eligible Holder that is an entity may assign its rights to its equity holders in proportion to their equity interests in the entity (it being understood that any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 2.9(m) shall be null and void). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Earn-Out Payments that become payable at or after the death of an Earn-Out Eligible Holder shall be paid to the Earn-Out Eligible Holder’s beneficiary or beneficiaries named in the most recent designation that the Earn-Out Eligible Holder filed with the Stockholders’ Representative (or, in the case of any Earn-Out Payments payable under the Incentive Bonus Plan, the Administrator of such Plan) prior to the Earn-Out Eligible Holder’s death; provided that if the Earn-Out Eligible Holder made no such designation or no such beneficiary survives the Earn-Out Eligible Holder, then all such post-death Earn-Out Payments shall be made to the Earn-Out

Eligible Holder’s estate. Any such designation shall be made in writing on a form provided or approved by the Stockholders’ Representative or such Administrator, as the case may be, shall automatically revoke any prior designation made by such Earn-Out Eligible Holder, and shall not be effective until actually received by the Stockholders’ Representative or such Administrator, as the case may be. If the deceased Earn-Out Eligible Holder was an employee of the Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries as of the date of death, any future Earn-Out Payments to such beneficiaries or estate may continue to include the Stock Election Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.9(g). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of Eligible Employees or their beneficiaries or estates to receive payment in respect of any Earn-Out Payments payable under the Incentive Bonus Plan in the event of the death of the Eligible Employee shall be subject in all events to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Bonus Plan.

          (o) Until final determination and payment (if any) of the 2012 Earn-Out Payment, Parent shall not, and members of the Parent Group shall not, enter into or permit to exist any agreement, contract, or other commitment that prohibits Parent from paying the Earn-Out Payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (whether paid entirely in cash or paid partly in shares of Parent Stock). If at any time an Earn-Out Payment is not paid when due hereunder, in addition to all other rights and remedies the Company may have, Parent agrees that interest shall accrue on any such overdue payment at a non-compounding annual rate of twelve percent (12%).

employee of Company or any subsidiary (the “Employee Plans”). Except with respect to the Incentive Bonus Plan to be adopted by the Surviving Corporation effective as of the Effective Time, neither Company, any subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has any legally binding commitment or formal plan to create any additional employee benefit plan which, if created, would constitute an Employee Plan, or to modify or change any existing Employee Plan that would affect any employee or former employee of Company or any subsidiary.

          (b) With respect to each Employee Plan, Company has heretofore delivered or made available to Parent (i) true and complete copies of the Employee Plan and any amendments thereto (or if the Employee Plan is not a written Employee Plan, a summary of the material terms thereof); (ii) any related trust or other funding vehicle; (iii) any reports or summaries required under ERISA or the Code; (iv) the most recent determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), or if none, IRS opinion or advisory letter issued with respect to each Employee Plan intended to qualify under section 401 of the Code; (v) copies of all material correspondence (including all closing letters, audit finding letters, revenue agent findings and similar documents) to or from any governmental agency relating to any Employee Plan (including the Department of Labor and the IRS); (vi) the results of all discrimination testing performed with respect to each Employee Plan for the most recent three (3) years; (vii) stop loss insurance policies; and (viii) all administrative service agreements, group annuity contracts, group insurance contracts and similar written agreements and contracts relating to each Employee Plan.

          (c) None of the Employee Plans is a “multiemployer plan,” as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, and no Employee Plan is subject to 302, 303, 304 or Title IV of ERISA or Sections 412, 430, 431 or 432 of the Code. No liability under Title IV or sections 302, 303 or 304 of ERISA has been incurred by Company or any ERISA Affiliate that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that presents a material risk to Company or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any such liability, other than liability for premiums due the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) (which premiums have been paid when due).

          (d) Neither Company nor any subsidiary, any Employee Plan, any trust created thereunder, nor any trustee or administrator thereof has engaged in a transaction in connection with which Company or any subsidiary, any Employee Plan, any such trust, or any trustee or administrator thereof, or any party dealing with any Employee Plan or any such trust could be subject to either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to section 4975 or 4976 of the Code, in any case which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

          (f) Each Employee Plan intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of section 401(a) of the Code is subject to a currently effective favorable determination, notification, advisory or opinion letter, as applicable, as to its qualification status from the IRS or still has a remaining period of time under applicable Treasury Regulations.

Company is not a party to, and is not otherwise obligated under, any contract, plan or arrangement that provides for the gross-up of the Tax imposed by section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. To the Knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, no stock or equity unit option granted under any Employee Plan has an exercise price that has been or may be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock or equity units (as the case may be) as of the date such option was granted or has any feature for the deferral of compensation that could render the grant subject to Section 409A of the Code. The earn-out allocation determined by the Company and set forth on the Earn-Out Allocation Schedule either complies with or is exempt from Section 409A of the Code. The Incentive Bonus Plan either complies with or is exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Any discretion granted to the Incentive Bonus Plan Administrator will be limited in all respects by Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, and none of the actions that the Administrator may properly take under the Incentive Bonus Plan could result in the Incentive Bonus Plan’s not complying with or being exempt from Section 409A of the Code.

          (i) Company has disclosed all “parachute payments” and “excess parachute payments” as defined by section 280G of the Code and the regulations and guidance issued with respect to section 280G of the Code in Section 3.12(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. No amounts payable by the Company or its affiliate will fail to be deductible for federal income tax purposes by virtue of section 280G of the Code.

          (j) Neither the negotiation and execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will, either alone or in combination with another event, (i) entitle any current or former employee or officer of Company or any ERISA Affiliate to severance pay, unemployment compensation or any other payment, except as provided under any applicable unemployment compensation Legal Requirement and except as set forth in Section 3.12(j)(1) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of compensation due any such employee or officer, except as set forth in Section 3.12(j)(2) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. The term “Parent Material Adverse Effect” means (x) a material adverse effect on the business, assets (whether tangible or intangible), results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as whole; provided, however, that no event, effect, change, development, circumstance, condition or occurrence arising out of the following, shall be deemed in themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute, and none of them shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or would reasonably be expected to be, a Parent Material Adverse Effect: (i) general economic conditions; (ii) conditions generally affecting industries in which Parent operates, which do not have a materially disproportionate effect (relative to other industry participants) on Parent and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; (iii) the entering into or the public announcement or disclosure of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby by reason of the disclosure of the identity of Company, or the performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (iv) any changes in applicable Legal Requirements or accounting regulation or principle effected after the date hereof; (v) any acts of God, national or international hostilities, war (whether or not declared) or terrorism, which do not have a materially disproportionate effect (relative to other participants operating in industries in which Parent operates) on Parent and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; or (vi) any decline in the market price, or change in trading volume, of the Parent Stock (provided, however, that the underlying reason for such decline or change shall not be excluded, by virtue of this clause from the determination of a Parent Material Adverse Effect); or (y) any event, effect, change, development, circumstance, condition or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent and Acquisition Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

     Section 4.2 Authority Relative to this Agreement.

               (ii) “Straddle Period” means a taxable year or period beginning on or before, and ending after, the Closing Date; and

          (c) Tax Returns.

               (ii) Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Closing Date but which relate to taxable years or periods, or portions thereof, beginning before the Closing Date (provided, however, that Parent shall not amend any such previously filed Tax Return, except as otherwise follows the procedures provided in this Section 7.8(c)(ii) or to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements). All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing of any such Tax Return (taking into account any extensions thereof), Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a copy of such Tax Return for review and comment. With respect to any item on any such Tax Return that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement (pursuant to Section 7.8(f) or otherwise), Parent will agree to any reasonable changes proposed by the Stockholders’ Representative.

               (iii) Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative in writing of the commencement of any audit or examination of any Tax Return of the Company for any taxable year or period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and any other proposed change or adjustment, claim, dispute, arbitration or litigation that, if sustained, would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement (pursuant to Section 7.8(f) or otherwise) (a “Tax Claim”). Such notice shall describe the asserted Tax Claim in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notices and other documents received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such asserted Tax Claim.

If a Tax Claim relating solely to a taxable year or period ending on or prior to the Closing Date is not settled at the Tax audit or examination stage, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to control any further contest of such Tax Claim and, if it exercises such right, shall bear the expenses relating thereto; provided, however, that Parent will have the opportunity to participate in any such contest at its expense. The Stockholders’ Representative may not settle any Tax Claim (either at the audit or examination stage or thereafter) without first obtaining Parent’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent shall control any audit, examination or proceeding, or portion thereof, that is not otherwise covered by this Section 7.8(c)(iii).

          (d) Computation of Tax Liabilities. To the extent permitted or required by law or administrative practice, the taxable year of Company and each of its subsidiaries which includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date. Where it is necessary for purposes of this Section 7.8 to apportion between the Company Securityholders, on one hand, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the other hand, the Taxes of or with respect to Company or any of its subsidiaries for a Straddle Period (which is not treated under the immediately preceding sentence as closing on the Closing Date), such liability

          (e) Assistance and Cooperation. Without limitation to the rights of the Stockholders’ Representative under Section 7.8(c), the Stockholders’ Representative shall assist Parent and the Surviving Corporation in preparing any Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Closing Date but which relate to taxable years or periods, or portions thereof, beginning before the Closing Date.

          (f) Indemnification by the Indemnifying Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Indemnifying Holders severally and not jointly shall indemnify Parent and the Surviving Corporation from and against and in respect of such Indemnifying Holder’s Percentage of any and all losses incurred by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, which may be imposed on, sustained, incurred, or suffered by or assessed against Parent or the Surviving Corporation, directly or indirectly, to the extent relating to or arising out of (i) a breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 3.14 except to the extent that losses from such breach are for Taxes not in excess of Taxes specifically reserved for on the Balance Sheet and available, (ii) any liability for Taxes of or with respect to Company or any of its subsidiaries in excess of the available amount, if any, specifically reserved for such Tax on the Balance Sheet, for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period deemed to end on and include the Closing Date, or (iii) for the unpaid Taxes of any Person under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar state, local, or foreign Legal Requirement) as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Holders shall not have liability under this Section 7.8(f) unless Parent submits a claim in writing with respect thereto within any applicable statute of limitations plus sixty (60) days. ********************.

          (g) Effect of Indemnity Payments. The parties agree that any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Merger Cash Consideration for Tax purposes unless a “Final Determination” with respect to the indemnified party or any of its affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Total Merger Cash Consideration for federal income Tax purposes. For purposes of this agreement “Final Determination” means (i) with respect to federal income Taxes, a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or execution of an IRS Form 870-AD and, (ii) with respect to Taxes other than federal income Taxes, any final determination of liability in respect of a Tax that, under applicable Legal Requirement, is not subject to further appeal, review or modification through proceedings or otherwise (including the expiration of a statute of limitations or a period for the filing of claims for refunds, amended Tax Returns or appeals from adverse determinations).

          (h) No Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.14 and the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 7.8 shall not be subject to any restrictions or limitations as to time, amount

     Section 7.13 Director and Officer Indemnification.

          (a) Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liability for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date now existing on the date hereof in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Company as provided under the Company Certificate of Incorporation, any indemnification agreement listed on Section 7.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and Delaware law, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date.

          (b) Provided that the officers of Company as of the date hereof prepare and execute the application with respect thereto, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect, for the benefit of the current and former directors and officers of Company with respect to their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, a prepaid “tail” policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “Tail Policy”) covering the period of time from the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, to the extent that directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is commercially available providing coverage that is no less favorable, in all material respects, to the current and former directors and officers of

     Section 7.14 Code Section 280G Matters. Prior to Closing, Company shall conduct a separate vote of its shareholders and perform such other reasonable acts as are within its power to satisfy all of the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder for exemption of any compensation or other payment payable under any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement with respect to Company covering any Person that would give rise to any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code and which Person shall have consented thereto, such that after giving effect to such vote and all related waivers and other agreements, if the requisite number of affirmative votes are obtained, such payments, awards and benefits will qualify for the exemption provided under Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code and will not be subject to excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. In the event the requisite number of votes are not obtained to permit the payment of such “excess parachute payments” no such payments will be made by Company or its affiliates.

     Section 7.15 Attorney Client Privilege. From and after the Closing and until such time as no Indemnifying Holder shall have any liability under Section 7.8 or Section 9.1, the Surviving Corporation will not waive, and will cause its subsidiaries not to waive, any privilege attaching as a result of legal counsel representing prior to the Closing any of Company and its subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative; provided, however, that any waiver by any person who is a director, officer or employee of the Company or any subsidiary as of the Effective Time shall not be a breach of this Section. In addition, Parent hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause each of the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with (a) such counsel representing any of the Company Securityholders or the Stockholders’ Representative after the Closing or (b) the communication by such counsel to the Company Securityholders or the Stockholders’ Representative, in any such representation, of any fact known to such counsel, in each case including in connection with (x) a dispute involving Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates following the closing or (y) the defense of any third party claim giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder (to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with the defense of such third party claim).

          (b) Subject to Section 9.2(c), the Indemnitor shall have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing. If the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim as aforesaid, then:

               (i) except as set forth in Section 9.2(c), the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnitee for any attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Third Party Claim following the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, unless (A) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnitee or other Indemnitees that are not available to the Indemnitor; or (B) the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that, with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests;

               (ii) the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor all personnel, books, records and other documents of the Surviving Corporation and materials that are under the direct or indirect control of the Indemnitee or any of the Indemnitee’s agents and that the Indemnitor considers necessary or desirable for the defense of such Third Party Claim;

               (iii) the Indemnitee shall otherwise cooperate as reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in the defense of such Third Party Claim;

               (iv) the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to such Third Party Claim; and

               (v) the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, settle or compromise any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such Third Party Claim) or consent to the entry of any judgment (A) which does not, to the extent that the Indemnitee or any of its affiliates may have any liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release of the Indemnitee and its affiliates from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (B) which includes any statement as to or an admission of fact, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee or any of

          (b) Despite Section 9.5(a), (i) no time limit will apply for indemnification arising from ********************; (ii) ********************, together with the associated rights of indemnification, will survive the Closing hereunder and continue in full force and effect for a period ending on the earlier of: (A) ******************** and (B) ********************; and (iii) ********************, together with the associated rights of indemnification, will survive the Closing hereunder and continue in full force and effect without limitation.
