and sole opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any exercise of such appraisal rights under Oregon Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for payment of fair value for capital stock of the Company, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Section 2.9 Options and Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) take all action necessary or appropriate to ensure that all Options and Warrants have been exercised or converted into Shares and terminated, cancelled or retired, as relevant, (ii) make any amendments to the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plans and obtain any consents from Option and Warrant holders necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Payment for Shares.

(a) The Surviving Corporation shall act as paying agent in effecting the payment of (i) the consideration to which holders of the Shares (each, a “Stockholder”) shall be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.7(a) and (ii) any payments required to be made to holders of Dissenting Shares under Oregon Law.

(b) As part of the Merger Consideration, concurrently with the Effective Time, the Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Indemnity Escrow Amount. The Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be held, invested and distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement.

(c) On or as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, evidenced outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”) and whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the consideration described in Section 2.7(a), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Surviving Corporation and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment therefor (which shall have such provisions as the Parent may reasonably specify). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Surviving Corporation or such agent or agent as may be appointed by the Parent, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and delivered in accordance with such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (as promptly as practicable), an amount in cash equal to (A) the Closing Date Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, without interest, and such Certificate shall, upon such surrender, be cancelled. If payment in respect of any Certificate is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name such Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, that the signatures on such Certificate or any related stock power shall be properly guaranteed and that the Person requesting such payment shall have established to the satisfaction of the Parent that any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment to a Person

other than the registered holder of such Certificate have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.10, any Certificate (other than Certificates representing the Shares described in Sections 2.7(b) or (c) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto, in cash, without interest, as contemplated herein. The Surviving Corporation shall mail to each holder of Dissenting Shares any correspondence or notices required by Oregon Law.

(d) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of any shares of capital stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, a Certificate (other than representing the Shares described in Sections 2.7(b) or (c)) is presented to the Surviving Corporation, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.10.

(e) All cash paid upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II and all cash deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Shares represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law.

(f) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the relevant portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.10(c) for the Shares represented thereby; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion, require the delivery of a satisfactory indemnity and/or bond.

(g) Within three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will provide to the Parent an itemized schedule (the “Schedule of Expenses”) containing (i) a true and complete list of all Transaction Expenses that have been paid (or for which bills have been received) or shall have been paid by the Company as of the Closing Date, (ii) a good faith estimate of all such additional Transaction Expenses that have been incurred or shall have been incurred as of the Closing Date but are not reflected in clause (i) hereof and (iii) a good faith estimate of all additional Transaction Expenses that are expected to be incurred after the Closing Date, together with a certificate of an authorized officer of the Company certifying the accuracy and completeness of the Schedule of Expenses. The Schedule of Expenses shall include without limitation all fees and expenses of the Company’s legal counsel, auditors and financial advisors for services rendered or to be rendered on or prior to the Closing Date. On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall have made payment of each Transaction Expense set forth in the Schedule of Expenses (including without limitation the $700,000 investment banking fee owed by the Company at the Closing and the amounts owed by the Company to its legal advisors, auditors and accountants for services through the Closing), other than the fees and expenses set forth therein that are estimated for services to be performed after the Closing Date (the “Unpaid Expenses”), which fees and expenses shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation as they are later incurred or billed up to the amount estimated therefor; provided that any such fees and expenses in excess of the amount estimated therefor in the Schedule of Expenses shall be the sole responsibility of the Stockholders and the Parent shall be entitled to receive such excess amount

from the Indemnity Escrow Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, Unpaid Expenses shall be listed as a Current Liability on the Closing Balance Sheet.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) If contemplated by the Flow of Funds Statement prepared and agreed upon pursuant to Section 5.15, the Board of Directors of the Company, if permitted by applicable Law and provided that the Company has complied with the obligations set forth in Section 5.1(s), may declare a dividend equal to the amount set forth in the Flow of Funds Statement. Such dividend, if any, shall be completely paid by the Company immediately prior to the Closing, and the Surviving Company shall have no liability therefor, or obligation with respect thereto, for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.11 Post-Closing Adjustment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Within 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, the Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative (i) a balance sheet of the Company, including all notes thereto, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Company’s existing accounting methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements (except as set forth in Section 2.10(g)); provided that no purchase accounting valuation adjustments in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be made and (ii) a reasonably detailed calculation based on the Closing Balance Sheet of the Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital shall be calculated and prepared as of the time immediately after the Effective Time (so that completion of the transactions contemplated at the Closing are reflected therein).

(b) During the 20 Business Day period following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital calculation, the Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Stockholder Representative and its auditors with access to the working papers of the Parent and its auditors relating to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital calculation, and the Parent shall cooperate with the Stockholder Representative and its auditors to provide them with any other information used in preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital calculation reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative and its auditors. The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital calculation shall become final and binding on the 20th Business Day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, the Stockholder Representative delivers to the Parent written notice of his disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying the nature and amount of any disputed item and accompanied by a certificate of the Stockholder Representative’s auditors stating that they concur with each of the positions taken by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement. The Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts in the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital calculation not

specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with Section 2.11(c).

(c) During the 10 Business Day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Stockholder Representative to the Parent, the parties in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified therein. During such 10 Business Day period, the Stockholder Representative shall use his commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Parent and its auditors with access to the working papers of the Stockholder Representative and its auditors relating to such Notice of Disagreement, and the Stockholder Representative and its auditors shall cooperate with the Parent and its auditors to provide them with any other information used in preparation such Notice of Disagreement reasonably requested by the Parent or its auditors. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Stockholder Representative and the Parent within such 10 Business Day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Stockholder Representative and the Parent agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement and the amount of the Closing Working Capital, the amount so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. If the Stockholder Representative and the Parent have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 10 Business Day period, the Stockholder Representative and the Parent shall submit, in writing, to an independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and the amount of the Closing Working Capital, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item and the amount of the Closing Working Capital, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be authorized to resolve only those items remaining in dispute between the parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11 within the range of the difference between the Parent’s position with respect thereto and the Stockholder Representative’s position with respect thereto. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Independent Accounting Firm that it reached such determination in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11. The Independent Accounting Firm shall in good faith be agreed in writing by the Stockholder Representative and the Parent. The Stockholder Representative and the Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within 20 Business Days following the submission thereof. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in any court referred to in Section 9.10. The fees and disbursements of the auditors of each party incurred in connection with their preparation and review of the Closing Balance Sheet shall be borne by such party (the sum of such fees and disbursements incurred by both parties, the “Closing Balance Sheet Costs”); provided , however , in the event of a dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 2.11(c), the Closing Balance Sheet Costs and the costs of such dispute resolution (including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof and the fees and disbursements of the auditors of each party incurred in connection with their preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement) shall be borne by the Stockholder Representative and/or the Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Parent, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar

values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

(d) If the Reference Amount is greater than the Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted downwards in an amount equal to the difference between the Reference Amount and the Closing Working Capital. In such event, the Parent shall deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative specifying the amount of such downwards adjustment of the Merger Consideration, and the Escrow Agent shall pay such amount out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Parent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and neither the Stockholder Representative nor any Stockholder shall be entitled to object to such claim against the Indemnity Escrow Fund; provided that the Stockholders shall remain liable in the event amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Fund are insufficient to cover such amount. If the Reference Amount is less than the Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the difference between the Reference Amount and the Closing Working Capital. In such event, the Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall deliver written notice to the Stockholder Representative specifying the amount of such upwards adjustment of the Merger Consideration, and shall pay such amount to the Stockholders pro rata in accordance with the portion of the Merger Consideration each such Stockholder would otherwise have been entitled to receive under Section 2.10(c), by virtue of the ownership of outstanding Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11(d) shall bear simple interest from the Closing Date to the date of such payment at a rate equal to the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect from time to time or (if less) the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law, calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the number of days elapsed.

Section 2.12 Withholding Rights. The Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably believes it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of applicable tax Law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority by the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.13 Stockholder Representative.

(a) Immediately upon the approval of this Agreement by the requisite vote of the Stockholders, each Stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to the appointment of John A. Calhoun as such Stockholder’s representative and attorney-in-fact (the “Stockholder Representative”), with full power of substitution to act on behalf of the Stockholders to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. All decisions, actions, consents and instructions by the Stockholder Representative shall be binding upon all of the Stockholders, and no Stockholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or

otherwise contest the same. The Parent and Sub shall be entitled to rely on any decision, action, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, action, consent or instruction of the Stockholders (including, without limitation, the resolution of all claims for indemnification), and the Parent and Sub are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for acts done by them in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction.

(b) The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of Stockholders holding a majority of the aggregate Fully Diluted Shares immediately before the Effective Time (the “Majority Holders”). In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Majority Holders. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Stockholder Representative shall be sent to the Parent and, after the Effective Time, to the Surviving Corporation, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such consent is received by the Parent and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided that until such notice is received, the Parent, Sub and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely on the decisions, actions, consents and instructions of the prior Stockholder Representative as described in Section 2.13(a). The Stockholder Representative may charge a reasonable fee for his services; provided that all fees and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing his duties hereunder (including legal fees and expenses related thereto) and any indemnification in favor of the Stockholder Representative shall be borne by the Stockholders, and the amount held in the Stockholder Representative Fund shall be available to the Stockholder Representative therefor pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Stockholders for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted willful misconduct or fraud. Except in cases where a court of competent jurisdiction has made such a finding, the Stockholders shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with its activities as Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or otherwise.

(d) The approval of this Agreement by the requisite vote of the Stockholders shall also be deemed to constitute approval of all arrangements relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the provisions hereof binding upon the Stockholders, including, without limitation, Section 7.2.

Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, and no fact or event exists that would give rise to any such liability.

(g) All contributions, premiums or payments required to be made with respect to any Plan have been made on or before their due dates. All such contributions have been fully deducted for income tax purposes. No such deduction has been challenged or disallowed by any Governmental Authority and no fact or event exists that would give rise to any such challenge or disallowance.

The Company is not subject to any liability, including additional contributions, fines, penalties or loss of tax deduction as a result of such administration and operation.

(l) No payment or benefit that will or may be made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other events) by the Company, its ERISA Affiliates or the Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company will be characterized as a “parachute payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.

(b) For purposes of this Section 5.12, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one that ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other that began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit and state and local apportionment factors of the Company for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Company were closed at the close of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, and (ii) periodic taxes, such as real and personal property taxes, shall be apportioned ratably between such periods on the basis of the number of elapsed days in each such period.

(c) The Stockholders Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed or cause to be filed all Returns of the Company which are required to be filed after the Closing Date in respect of all Pre-Closing Tax Periods. The Parent shall have the opportunity to review such Returns and the Stockholders Representative shall provide such Returns to the Parent (for the Parent’s review and comment) at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date. The Parent shall prepare and file all other Returns of the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Pre-Closing Tax Period” shall mean (i) any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) the portion of any Straddle Period which ends on the Closing Date.

(d) If the Company has any increase in Tax liability by reason of an adjustment by a Government Authority with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and such

adjustment has the effect of decreasing deductions or credits, or increasing income, for any taxable year or taxable period ending after the Closing Date, the Parent shall be paid out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund according to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, an amount equal to the Tax cost (taking into account any Tax benefits actually and currently realized in connection therewith) attributable to such decreased deductions or credits, or increased income, as and when the Company, or any consolidated, affiliated, combined, unitary or other similar Tax group of which the Company may be a member actually suffers such detriment; provided that the Stockholders shall remain liable in the event that the Indemnity Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover such amount.

(e) If the Company has any decrease in Tax liability by reason of an adjustment by a Government Authority with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and such adjustment has the effect of increasing deductions or credits, or decreasing income, for any taxable year or taxable period, the Parent shall pay to the Stockholders, pro rata in accordance with the portion of the Merger Consideration each such Stockholder was entitled to receive at the Effective Time, an amount equal to the Tax benefits actually and currently realized in connection therewith attributable to such increased deductions or credits, or decreased income, as and when the Company, or any consolidated, affiliated, combined, unitary or other similar Tax group of which the Company may be a member actually realizes such benefit.

(f) The Parent shall cause the Company to retain all Returns, schedules, work papers and all material records and other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation (and, to the extent notified by any Party, any extensions thereof) for the taxable periods to which such Returns, schedules, work papers and other material records relate until the final determination of any Tax in respect of such taxable periods. Any information retained under this Section 5.12 shall remain confidential, except as may be necessary to be disclosed in connection with filing any Return, amended Return or claim for refund, determining any Tax liability or right to refund of Taxes or conducting or defending any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes.

(g) Any amended Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any claim for Tax refund on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be filed, or caused to be filed, only by the Stockholders Representative. The Stockholders Representative shall not, without the prior written consent of the Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) make or cause to be made, any such filing, to the extent such filing, if accepted, reasonably might change the Tax liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Parent for any period ending on or after the Closing Date.

(h) The Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Company shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees reasonably to cooperate, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective Representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Returns and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods or relating to Taxes, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes.

(i) If a claim for Taxes, including, without limitation, notice of a pending or threatened audit, shall be made by any taxing authority to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in writing, which, if successful, could result in an indemnity payment pursuant to Section 5.12(a) (a “Tax Claim”), the Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative in writing of the Tax Claim within ten (10) Business Days following the Parent’s or its Subsidiary’s becoming aware of such possible result; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its indemnity obligations except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of the Tax Claim and the amount thereof, each to the extent known by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Stockholders Representative shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the Company with respect to any Tax Claim pertaining to a Pre-Closing Tax Period if the indemnity of the Stockholders is still in effect under this terms of this Agreement with regard thereto, provided that the Stockholder Representative shall not, without the prior written consent of the Parent (which may be withheld in the Parent’s sole discretion), resolve or settle any Tax Claim to the extent that the Surviving Corporation or the Parent would be adversely affected thereby.

(j) The procedures set forth in Section 7.5 shall apply to any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 5.12.

(k) All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(l) All transfer, documentary, sale, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Stockholders when due, and the Stockholders will, at their own expense, file all necessary Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required, the Parent will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Returns and other documentation.

Section 5.13 Cashless Exercise Loans. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company may provide loans to its officers, directors, employees, consultants and investors as may reasonably be deemed advisable by the Board of Directors in order to facilitate a “cashless” exercise in anticipation of the Merger of Options and Warrants held by such officers, directors, employees, consultants and investors, provided that (i) such loans and advances (the “Cashless Exercise Loans”) shall be automatically repaid to the Company out of the Closing Date Merger Consideration to which such holders of Options and Warrants would otherwise be entitled; (ii) the Company shall, as a condition to making any such loan or advance, require the recipient to enter into an agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Parent) with the Company whereby such recipient consents and agrees to (x) the repayment described in clause (i) above, (y) any Tax withholding required in connection with the exercise of such Options and Warrants (the aggregate of all such withholding by the Company, the “Option Withholding Amount”) and (z) as a condition to payment, execute and deliver after the Effective Time the letter of transmittal described in Section 2.10(c); and (iii) the Company shall promptly, and in any event prior to the Closing Date, inform the Parent after the Company has made or has agreed

to make any such loan or advance, including the amount thereof and provide the Parent with a copy of all documentation to effect such loan or advance.

Section 5.14 Loan Repayments. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and each of Bruce L. Gibbins and Jack D. McMaken shall enter into agreements, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Parent (the “Repayment Agreements”), whereby each of Bruce L. Gibbins and Jack D. McMaken consents, covenants and agrees that (x) in the case of Bruce L. Gibbins, those certain Promissory Notes made in favor of the Company as of July 1, 2006 (in the principal amount of $140,695.16) and December 26, 2007 (in the principal amount of $136,575.00) and (y) in the case of Jack D. McMaken, that certain Promissory Note made in favor of the Company as of July 1, 2006 (in the principal amount of $140,695.16) shall be automatically repaid in full (including the principal balance and all accrued interest thereon) out of the Closing Date Merger Consideration to which he would otherwise be entitled.

Section 5.15 Flow of Funds Statement. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Parent shall in good faith prepare and agree upon (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) a flow of funds statement (the “Flow of Funds Statement”), which shall (i) provide detail with respect to each of the payments and transactions (or provide reasonable estimates to the extent not then ascertainable) to be made by the Company and the Parent at or prior to the Closing and (ii) set forth an estimate of the Closing Working Capital. The Flow of Funds Statement shall be prepared, to the extent possible, to effectuate the following principles: (i) the Closing Working Capital shall be as close as possible to the Reference Amount and (ii) the parties shall make a good faith effort to minimize the amount of the adjustment to the Indemnity Escrow Amount as a result of implementing Section 2,11(d). In the event that the Reference Amount exceeds the estimate of Closing Working Capital set forth on the Flow of Funds Statement (such excess amount, the “Deficit Amount”) , each of (x) the Closing Date Merger Consideration and (y) the Reference Amount shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the Deficit Amount.

Section 5.16 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification. For a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, the Parent agrees that it will cause the Surviving Corporation to continue to indemnify (including with respect to advancement of expenses) the Company’s present and former directors, officers, fiduciaries within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company, and all other persons who may currently serve or have served at the Company’s request as a director, officer or fiduciary of an employee benefit plan of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise for all judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with actions or omissions or alleged actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing (other than in their capacities as Stockholders and thus excluding liability for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants hereunder), and all reasonable expenses; provided that such indemnification shall only be provided to the extent (i) permitted or required under the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws in effect as of the date hereof and (ii) consistent with applicable Law.

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Parent or Sub contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including as a result of the action or failure to act of the Parent or Sub without giving effect to any limitations or qualifications as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect, knowledge or other exception set forth therein.

Section 7.5 Procedures.

(a) In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, or to the Parent, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 15 calendar days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.5(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the

Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party is not defending such Third Party Claim in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder.

(c) Subject to Section 7.7(a), the indemnification required hereunder in respect of a Third Party Claim shall be made by prompt payment by the Indemnifying Party of the amount of actual Losses in connection therewith, as and when bills are received by the Indemnifying Party or Losses incurred have been notified to the Indemnifying Party, together with interest on any amount not repaid as necessary to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party within five Business Days after receipt of notice of such Losses, from the date such Losses have been notified to the Indemnifying Party, at the rate of interest described in Section 2.11(e).

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to require that any action be made or brought against any other Person before action is brought or claim is made against it hereunder by the Indemnified Party.

(e) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or otherwise than pursuant to this Article VII. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 10 Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively

deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and, subject to Section 7.7(a), the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to Section 7.7(a), pay such lesser amount promptly to the Indemnified Party, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.10, each Indemnifying Party hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on each Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.

Section 7.6 Remedies Not Affected by Investigation, Disclosure or Knowledge. If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Parent expressly reserves the right to seek indemnity or other remedy for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, notwithstanding any investigation by, disclosure to or knowledge of such party in respect of any fact or circumstances that reveals the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the execution and delivery hereof.

Section 7.7 Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(a) The Parent hereby agrees that it shall first obtain a remedy from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, to the extent of the amount then held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, with respect to any indemnification claim asserted hereunder before seeking to recover any Losses directly from the Stockholders.

(b) Upon the termination of the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall pay any amounts remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Stockholders as instructed by the Stockholder Representative. Payment of such amounts to Stockholders shall be made pro rata in accordance with the portion of the Merger Consideration each such Stockholder would otherwise have been entitled to receive under Section 2.10(c), by virtue of the ownership of outstanding Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time. Neither the Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any of their Affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability to the Stockholders with respect to the actions of the Stockholder Representative.

Section 7.8 Tax Matters. Except as set forth in Section 5.12(f), the indemnification provisions of this Article VII shall not apply to the indemnification obligations of the Stockholders or Parent as set forth in Section 5.12. All such obligations shall be governed by the terms of Section 5.12.

Section 7.9 Remedies.

(a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR PROVIDED FOR UNDER ANY LAW, OTHER THAN IN THE CASE OF FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION,

INTENTIONAL BREACH OR BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, NO PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED HEREUNDER TO ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EITHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ADVANCE OR COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY SUCH OTHER PARTY.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE PARENT OR SUB TO ASSERT AND RECOVER PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE VII CLAIMS INVOLVING SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES SOUGHT BY THIRD PARTIES FROM THE PARENT, THE COMPANY, THE SURVIVING CORPORATION OR SUB.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARENT AND SUB ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING THEIR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN IN THE CASE OF FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION, INTENTIONAL BREACH OR BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE PURSUANT TO THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE VII; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SEEK AND OBTAIN EQUITABLE RELIEF (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE) FOR A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE PARENT AND SUB, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND ON BEHALF OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, PARTNERS AND EMPLOYEES, HEREBY WAIVE AND RELEASE FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION (OTHER THAN ANY CLAIM FOR EQUITABLE RELIEF OR IN THE CASE OF FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION, INTENTIONAL BREACH OR BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS) WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT IT MAY HAVE AGAINST THE COMPANY OR THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE VII.

RECITALS

A. The Acquiror, Alaska Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., an Oregon corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Acquiror, the Stockholder Representative and the Company have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February[ ], 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Acquiror has agreed to pay into the escrow created hereby, as part of the Merger Consideration, (i) the sum of $2,500,000 (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”) and (ii) the sum of $250,000 (the “Representative Expense Amount”), in each case to be disbursed as provided in this Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

B. The Stockholders have appointed the Stockholder Representative as their representative and attorney-in-fact, to act on their behalf in connection with this Agreement and any claims relating to the Indemnity Escrow Fund (as hereinafter defined).

C. The Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative desire the Escrow Agent to act as escrow agent with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Fund and income earned thereon as provided herein, and the Escrow Agent has agreed so to act.

D. The Merger Agreement provides that the Representative Expense Fund (as hereinafter defined) shall be made available to the Stockholder Representative for the performance of his duties, pursuant to this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment. The Escrow Agent is hereby appointed as escrow agent to hold and distribute the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund (as each is defined

below) in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in such capacity in accordance with the terms hereof.

2. Creation of Escrow Account. Pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Acquiror will deposit with the Escrow Agent as part of the Merger Consideration, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to accept in its capacity as such, the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Representative Expense Amount, to be held in separate accounts established by the Escrow Agent. As used herein, (i) “Indemnity Escrow Fund” means the Indemnity Escrow Amount, together with all net income or net gain or loss resulting from investment of such amount that has not previously been disbursed, as such amounts may be increased or decreased as provided herein and (ii) “Representative Expense Fund” means the Representative Expense Amount, together with all net income or net gain or loss resulting from investment of such amount that has not previously been disbursed, as such amounts may be increased or decreased as provided herein.

3. Disbursement to Acquiror from Indemnity Escrow Fund Upon Final Determination of Merger Consideration. Amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section in the event of receipt by the Escrow Agent of (i) joint written instructions from the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative specifying the agreement of the parties with respect to payments from the Indemnity Escrow Fund following adjustment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement (“Merger Consideration Payment Instructions”) or (ii) a notice from the Acquiror stating that the Merger Consideration adjustment was previously submitted to binding arbitration by the Independent Accounting Firm and that a final determination with respect to such matter has been rendered, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the decision of the Independent Accounting Firm specifying the amount to be paid to the Acquiror with regard to the Merger Consideration adjustment and a statement by the Acquiror that such decision is final and non-appealable (such notice, decision and statement collectively, a “Merger Consideration Determination Order”). A copy of such Merger Consideration Determination Order shall also be sent by the Acquiror to the Stockholder Representative concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Escrow Agent. Promptly following receipt of Merger Consideration Payment Instructions or a Merger Consideration Determination Order, the Escrow Agent shall pay the amount of any downwards adjustment of the Merger Consideration to the Acquiror out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

4. Disbursements to Acquiror from Indemnity Escrow Fund for Losses and Certain Other Matters.

(a) On each occasion on which the Acquiror determines in good faith that it is entitled to payment of a claim (a “Claim”) for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Merger Agreement, or any other provision of the Merger Agreement providing for indemnification, or entitled to a disbursement from the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 3.8 or Section 5.12(d) of the Merger Agreement, the Acquiror may deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative a written request for the payment of such amount (a “Claim Notice”), which request shall identify in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Claim, to the extent they reasonably can be determined, and the amount (if then known) or the method of computing the amount of the Losses, which method may include an estimate to the extent actual damages are not known.

(b) If within 10 calendar days after the Acquiror’s delivery of a Claim Notice pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Stockholder Representative does not notify the Escrow Agent in writing (with a concurrent copy to the Acquiror) that the Stockholder Representative objects in good faith to the Claim or some portion of the Claim (a “Claim Objection”), which objection shall identify in reasonable detail the reasons for, and include any relevant documentation in support of, the objection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Acquiror the amount requested in such Claim Notice. The failure of the Stockholder Representative to provide a Claim Objection as set forth in this Section 4(b) shall be deemed an irrevocable acceptance of liability for any amount contained in the applicable Claim Notice.

(c) If within 10 calendar days after the Acquiror’s delivery of a Claim Notice pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Stockholder Representative delivers to the Escrow Agent a Claim Objection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Acquiror the undisputed portion of the Claim. The Escrow Agent shall not disburse the disputed portion of the Claim, pending either (i) joint written instructions from the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative specifying the agreement of the parties as to the action to be taken with respect to such Claim (“Indemnity Payment Instructions”) or (ii) receipt by the Escrow Agent of a notice from the Acquiror or the Stockholder Representative stating that such dispute has been submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction or to binding arbitration for judgment, and that a final judgment or arbitral decision with respect to such matter has been rendered, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of a final, non-appealable order of the court or binding arbitral award pursuant to which such court or arbitral body has determined whether and to what extent the Acquiror is entitled to payment with respect to such Claim, and a statement by the submitting party that such decision is final and non-appealable (such notice, decision and statement collectively, an “Indemnity Determination Order”). A copy of such Indemnity Determination Order shall also be sent by the Acquiror or the Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, to the other party concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Escrow Agent. Promptly following receipt of Indemnity Payment Instructions or an Indemnity Determination Order, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with Section 4(d) hereof.

(d) If the Escrow Agent has received Indemnity Payment Instructions or an Indemnity Determination Order, and if such Indemnity Payment Instructions or Indemnity Determination Order indicates that the Acquiror is entitled to payment in respect of all or any portion of a Claim, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Acquiror the amount due to the Acquiror as indicated in such Indemnity Payment Instructions or Indemnity Determination Order. If such Indemnity Payment Instructions or Indemnity Determination Order indicates that the Acquiror is not entitled to all or any portion of the amount of the Claim, then the Escrow Agent shall hold the amount to which the Acquiror is determined not to be entitled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until such amounts are to be disbursed (i) to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 5 below, (ii) to the Acquiror in respect of another Claim pursuant to this Section 4 or (iii) upon the receipt of joint written instructions from the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative.

5. Disbursements to Stockholder Representative from Representative Expense Fund.

(a) If, prior to the Initial Distribution Date (as defined in Section 6(a) hereof), the Escrow Agent receives a notice from the Stockholder Representative (which the Stockholder Representative shall concurrently send to the Acquiror) stating that the Stockholder Representative seeks to recover from the Representative Expense Fund the amount of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in serving as the Stockholder Representative (“Reasonable Charges”), and such notice is accompanied by receipts or other supporting documentation and states that a copy of such notice has been concurrently delivered by the Stockholder Representative to the Acquiror, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly release and deliver to the Stockholder Representative a portion of the Representative Expense Fund equal to the Reasonable Charges; provided that the aggregate amount disbursed from the Representative Expense Fund to the Stockholder Representative for Reasonable Charges shall not exceed the Representative Expense Amount.

(b) In no event shall the Stockholder Representative be entitled to any disbursement from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, including without limitation in the event that the Representative Expense Fund is insufficient to cover the aggregate amount of Reasonable Charges.

6. Releases; Termination.

(a) On the date that is one (1) year from the date hereof (the “Initial Distribution Date”), the Escrow Agent shall pay and distribute to the Stockholders, pro rata in accordance with Schedule A hereto, (i) any then-outstanding amount of the Representative Expense Fund and (ii) any then-outstanding amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, unless any Claims theretofore made are then still pending and unresolved, in which case assets representing a reasonable quantification (as determined by the Acquiror) of the amount of indemnifiable Losses relating to Claims theretofore made by the Acquiror which are still pending and unresolved as of such date shall be retained by the Escrow Agent (the “Retained Amount”), and the balance paid to the Stockholders pro rata in accordance with Schedule A hereto. The Escrow Agent shall thereafter release from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the party entitled thereto all portions of the Retained Amount as and when it receives Indemnity Payment Instructions or an Indemnity Determination Order, as applicable, relating to the Claims, or in the alternative, if it has not received a Claim Objection within the allotted time pursuant to Section 4(b).

(b) This Escrow Agreement shall terminate on the date on which the entire Indemnity Escrow Fund and Representative Expense Fund shall have been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement.

7. Investments. The Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest any cash in the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund in any one of the following investments: (a) direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America with a maturity date of less than one (1) year; (b) certificates of deposit with a maturity date of less than one (1) year issued by commercial banks of the United States having assets in excess of $500,000,000; or (c) such other investments as may be mutually agreed upon by the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative (“Permitted Investments”). The Escrow Agent

acknowledges that it has no interest in any cash or investments held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Representative Expense Fund, and further acknowledges that the Indemnity Escrow Fund is to be held for the benefit of the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) and the Representative Expense Fund is to be held for the benefit of the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of himself and the Stockholders). The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution in value of any assets held hereunder which may result from any investments or reinvestments made in accordance with any provision hereby. Income earned by the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund shall accrue and become part of the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund, respectively, to be paid out as provided herein. In connection with making any payment pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have the absolute right to sell or divest any Permitted Investments.

8. Income and Taxes.

(a) All net income or net gain from investments of the Indemnity Escrow Fund (other than (i) income in respect of the amount of a downwards adjustment of the Purchase Price or (ii) income in respect of the amount of a Claim, each of which shall be paid to the Acquiror) and the Representative Expense Fund will, for income tax purposes, be for the account of the Stockholders, pro rata in accordance with Schedule A hereto. All such income shall be paid at such times as specified in Section 3, 4 or 6 with respect to payment of amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund (and, with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Fund, in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of payments from such Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Stockholders or the Acquiror, as the case may be, bears to the total amount initially deposited in such Indemnity Escrow Fund by the Acquiror). Any such payments to the Stockholders shall be made to each Stockholder pro rata in accordance with Schedule A hereto.

In addition, the Stockholder Representative shall provide the Escrow Agent with any other information reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with any required reporting to any taxing authority. The parties acknowledge that the failure to so provide such forms or information may prevent or delay disbursements from the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund and may also result in the assessment of a penalty and the Escrow Agent’s being required to withhold tax on any interest or other income earned on the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund. Any payments of income shall be subject to applicable withholding regulations then in force in the United States or any other jurisdiction, as applicable.

9. Duties of the Escrow Agent.

(a) The duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are only such as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, such duties being purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any other agreement referred to herein, or for determining or compelling compliance therewith, and shall not otherwise by bound thereby.

The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed in good faith by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and may assume in good faith that any person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(c) The Escrow Agent may act pursuant to the advice of counsel of its own choice with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement and shall not be liable and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such written advice.

(d) In the event of any disagreement between the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Representative Expense Fund, or in the event that the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action the Escrow Agent should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall retain the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Representative Expense Fund, as applicable, until the Escrow Agent shall have received (i) with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Fund: Merger Consideration Payment Instructions, a Merger Consideration Determination Order, Indemnity Payment Instructions or an Indemnity Determination Order, as applicable, directing delivery of the Indemnity Escrow Fund (and with respect to an Indemnity Determination Order, the designated period for challenge thereof as referred to herein has lapsed), in which event the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance therewith and (ii) with respect to the Representative Expense Fund: joint written instructions from the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative, in which event the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Representative Expense Fund in accordance therewith. The Escrow Agent shall have the option, after 30 calendar days’ written notice to the other parties of its intention to do so, to file an action in interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights between themselves.

10. Resignation and Removal of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent, and any successor Escrow Agent, may resign at any time as Escrow Agent hereunder by giving at least 60 calendar days’ prior written notice to the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative. Upon such resignation and the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, the obligations and duties of the resigning Escrow Agent shall terminate. Upon their receipt of notice of resignation from the Escrow Agent, the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall use reasonable efforts jointly to designate a successor Escrow Agent. In the event the Acquiror and the Stockholder

Representative do not agree upon a successor Escrow Agent within 60 calendar days after the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent so resigning may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent or other appropriate relief and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by 10 calendar days’ written notice to the Escrow Agent from the Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative. The Escrow Agent or successor Escrow Agent shall continue to act as Escrow Agent until a successor is appointed and qualified to act as Escrow Agent in accordance with this Section.

11. Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall receive as compensation for the performance of its duties as such hereunder the fees set forth on Schedule B, to be paid one-half by the Acquiror and one-half by the Stockholders; provided, that amounts owed by the Stockholders shall be debited from the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

12. Indemnification. The Acquiror and the Stockholders, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Escrow Agent may incur after the date hereof by reason of its acting as escrow agent under this Agreement, except to the extent such loss, liability, damage or expense arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

13. Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each party and otherwise as expressly set forth herein.

14. Waiver. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

respect to the Business, or to reduce, modify, divert or otherwise interfere with or impair the business relating to the Business between such customer or licensee and the Parent or the Company.

4. REASONABLENESS OF COVENANTS. Stockholder acknowledges that the Parent and the Company are involved in the Business in the Covenant Territory. Stockholder further recognizes and acknowledges that these covenants not to compete are necessary in order to protect and maintain the proprietary interests and other legitimate business interests of the Parent and the Company in the Business acquired under the Merger Agreement and are reasonable in all respects. The noncompetition obligations set forth herein constitute a covenant not to compete under the internal laws of the State of California.

5. SEPARATE COVENANTS. This Agreement shall be deemed to consist of a series of separate covenants, one for each line of business activity included within the Business as it may be conducted by the Parent or the Company on or after the date hereof, and each city, county, state, country, market area, business area or other region included within the Covenant Territory, for each year. The parties expressly agree that the character, duration and geographical scope of this Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date upon which this Agreement has been executed.

If, in any judicial proceeding, a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall refuse to enforce or declare void or invalid any of the provisions or covenants, or any part thereof, of this Agreement, as applied to any party or to any circumstances, such invalid or unenforceable provision or covenant shall in no way affect any other provision or covenant of this Agreement, the application of such provision or covenant in other circumstances, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. If any provision or covenant, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby or for any other reason, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power and is hereby asked to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases in order to render this Agreement and its scope valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. EQUITABLE RELIEF. The parties hereto agree that Stockholder’s obligations contained in this Agreement are of a unique character which gives them a special value and that damages in an action at law for Stockholder’s breach of these obligations may not reasonably or adequately compensate the Parent or the Company. The Parent or the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond, to prevent a breach of said obligations, in addition to any other remedies such parties may have.

8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations between or among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in San Francisco, California as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

12. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

EXHIBIT A

NONCOMPETITION
ESCROW AGREEMENT

[Attached.]

Exhibit A

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of ___, 2008 (this “Agreement”), is among I-Flow Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Acquiror”), , an individual (the “Stockholder”), and Citibank N.A., a [___] (the “Escrow Agent”).

RECITALS

A. The Acquiror and the Stockholder are, among others, parties to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 2, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”).

B. In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Acquiror, AcryMed Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Acquiror, and the Stockholder have entered into that certain Noncompetition Agreement dated as of [___], 2008 (the “Noncompetition Agreement”).

C. Pursuant to the Noncompetition Agreement and in consideration of compliance with the covenants set forth therein, the Acquiror has agreed to pay into the escrow created hereby the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Escrow Amount”), to be disbursed as provided in this Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Noncompetition Agreement.

D. The Acquiror and the Stockholder desire the Escrow Agent to act as escrow agent with respect to the Escrow Fund and income earned thereon as provided herein, and the Escrow Agent has agreed so to act.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment. The Escrow Agent is hereby appointed as escrow agent to hold and distribute the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in such capacity in accordance with the terms hereof.

2. Creation of Escrow Account. Pursuant to the provisions of the Noncompetition Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Acquiror will deposit with the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to accept in its capacity as such, the Escrow Amount, to be held in a separate account established by the Escrow Agent. As used herein, the “Escrow Fund” means the Escrow Amount, together with all net income or net gain or loss resulting from investment of such amount that has not previously been disbursed, as such amount may be decreased as provided herein.

3. Disbursements to Stockholder from Escrow Fund. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Stockholder from the Escrow Fund the following amounts on

the designated dates: (i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) plus all interest then accrued in the Escrow Fund (less any loss with respect thereto and amounts debited by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof) on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) plus all interest then accrued in the Escrow Fund (less any loss with respect thereto and amounts debited by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof) on the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) the entire balance then remaining in the Escrow Fund (less amounts debited by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof) (i.e., Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) plus all interest then accrued in the Escrow Fund (less any loss with respect thereto and amounts debited by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof)) on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

4. Breach of Noncompetition Agreement or Core Representations.

(a) If the Acquiror determines in good faith that the Stockholder has breached the Noncompetition Agreement or that any of the Core Representations (as defined in the Merger Agreement) have been breached, the Acquiror may deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder a written notice of such breach (a “Breach Notice”), which notice shall identify in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Breach Notice. After receipt of a Breach Notice, the Escrow Agent shall not make any disbursements pursuant to Section 3 and all subsequent disbursements shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.

(b) If within 10 calendar days after the Acquiror’s delivery of a Breach Notice pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Stockholder does not notify the Escrow Agent in writing (with a concurrent copy to the Acquiror) that the Stockholder objects in good faith to the Breach Notice (an “Objection”), which objection shall identify in reasonable detail the reasons for, and include any relevant documentation in support of, the objection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse from the Escrow Fund to the Acquiror the then-outstanding amount of the Escrow Fund. The failure of the Stockholder to provide an Objection as set forth in this Section 4(b) shall be deemed an irrevocable waiver of any rights to the amount of the Escrow Fund and any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to the Noncompetition Agreement. With respect to any Breach Notice solely for a breach of the Core Representations (i.e., not involving a breach of the Noncompetition Agreement), to the extent Losses related to such breach are less than the amount of the Escrow Fund distributed to the Acquiror (such difference, the “Remaining Amount”), the Acquiror shall hold and pay portions of the Remaining Amount to the Stockholder on the remaining payment dates set forth in the Noncompetition Agreement (on a pro rata basis, in the same relative proportions as provided in the payment schedule set forth in the Noncompetition Agreement); provided that the Remaining Amount shall be subject to further elimination or reduction for any subsequent breaches of the Noncompetition Agreement or Core Representations, respectively.

(c) If within 10 calendar days after the Acquiror’s delivery of a Breach Notice pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Stockholder delivers to the Escrow Agent an Objection, the Escrow Agent shall not disburse any amounts from the Escrow Fund, pending either (i) joint written instructions from the Acquiror and the Stockholder specifying the agreement of the parties as to the action to be taken with respect to such Breach Notice (“Payment Instructions”) or (ii) receipt by the Escrow Agent of a notice from the Acquiror or the Stockholder stating that such dispute has been submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction or to binding arbitration for

judgment, and that a final judgment or arbitral decision with respect to such matter has been rendered, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of a final, non-appealable order of the court or binding arbitral award pursuant to which such court or arbitral body has determined whether and to what extent the Stockholder is entitled to any amount of the Escrow Fund, and a statement by the submitting party that such decision is final and non-appealable (such notice, decision and statement collectively, a “Determination Order”). A copy of such Determination Order shall also be sent by the Acquiror or the Stockholder, as the case may be, to the other party concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Escrow Agent. Promptly following receipt of Payment Instructions or a Determination Order, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with Section 4(d) hereof.

(d) If the Escrow Agent has received Payment Instructions or a Determination Order, and if such Payment Instructions or Determination Order indicates that the Stockholder is entitled to any amount of the Escrow Fund, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse from the Escrow Fund to the Stockholder the amount due to the Stockholder on the date or dates indicated in such Payment Instructions or Determination Order. If such Payment Instructions or Determination Order indicates that the Stockholder is not entitled to all or any portion of the amount of the Escrow Fund, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse from the Escrow Fund to the Acquiror the amount due to the Acquiror as indicated in such Payment Instructions or Determination Order.

5. Termination. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate on the date on which the entire Escrow Fund shall have been disbursed in accordance with Sections 3 and 4 hereof.

6. Investments. The Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest any cash in the Escrow Fund in any one of the following investments: (a) direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America with a maturity date of less than one (1) year; (b) certificates of deposit with a maturity date of less than one (1) year issued by commercial banks of the United States having assets in excess of $500,000,000; or (c) such other investments as may be mutually agreed upon by the Acquiror and the Stockholder (“Permitted Investments”). The Escrow Agent acknowledges that it has no interest in any cash or investments held in the Escrow Fund, and further acknowledges that the Escrow Fund is to be held for the benefit of the Acquiror and the Stockholder. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution in value of any assets held hereunder which may result from any investments or reinvestments made in accordance with any provision hereby. Income earned by the Escrow Fund shall accrue and become part of the Escrow Fund to be paid out as provided herein. In connection with making any payment pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have the absolute right to sell or divest any Permitted Investments.

7. Income and Taxes.

(a) All net income or net gain from investments of the Escrow Fund (other than income in respect of any payment out of the Escrow Fund to the Acquiror, which shall be paid to the Acquiror) will, for income tax purposes, be for the account of the Stockholder. All such income shall be paid at such times as specified in Section 3 or 4 with respect to payment of amounts in the Escrow Fund, in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of payments from such Escrow Fund to the Stockholder or the Acquiror, as the case may be, bears to the total

amount initially deposited in such Escrow Fund by the Acquiror. The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Stockholder and the Acquiror its standard monthly statement concerning the Escrow Fund, which shall include information with respect to any earnings, disbursements and losses during the period covered by the statement. The Escrow Agent shall also provide such additional information to the Stockholder and/or the Acquiror as reasonably requested by such parties from time to time.

(b) The Stockholder shall provide to the Escrow Agent, upon execution of this Agreement, his taxpayer identification number documented by the appropriate Form W-9, or the appropriate Form W-8 for non-resident alien certification. In addition, the Stockholder shall provide the Escrow Agent with any other information reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with any required reporting to any taxing authority. The parties acknowledge that the failure to so provide such forms or information may prevent or delay disbursements from the Escrow Fund and may also result in the assessment of a penalty and the Escrow Agent’s being required to withhold tax on any interest or other income earned on the Escrow Fund. Any payments of income shall be subject to applicable withholding regulations then in force in the United States or any other jurisdiction, as applicable.

8. Duties of the Escrow Agent.

(d) In the event of any disagreement between the Acquiror and the Stockholder resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the Escrow Fund, or in the event that the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action the Escrow Agent should take hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall retain the Escrow Fund until the Escrow Agent shall have received Payment Instructions or a Determination Order, as applicable, directing delivery of the Escrow Fund, in which event the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. The Escrow Agent shall have the option, after 30

calendar days’ written notice to the other parties of its intention to do so, to file an action in interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights between themselves.

9. Resignation and Removal of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent, and any successor Escrow Agent, may resign at any time as Escrow Agent hereunder by giving at least 60 calendar days’ prior written notice to the Acquiror and the Stockholder. Upon such resignation and the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, the obligations and duties of the resigning Escrow Agent shall terminate. Upon their receipt of notice of resignation from the Escrow Agent, the Acquiror and the Stockholder shall use reasonable efforts jointly to designate a successor Escrow Agent. In the event the Acquiror and the Stockholder do not agree upon a successor Escrow Agent within 60 calendar days after the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent so resigning may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent or other appropriate relief and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent may be removed, with or without cause, by 10 calendar days’ written notice to the Escrow Agent from the Acquiror and the Stockholder. The Escrow Agent or successor Escrow Agent shall continue to act as Escrow Agent until a successor is appointed and qualified to act as Escrow Agent in accordance with this Section.

10. Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall receive as compensation for the performance of its duties as such hereunder the fees set forth on Schedule A, to be paid one-half by the Acquiror and one-half by the Stockholder; provided, that amounts owed by the Stockholder shall be debited from the Escrow Fund.

11. Indemnification. The Acquiror and the Stockholder, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Escrow Agent may incur after the date hereof by reason of its acting as escrow agent under this Agreement, except to the extent such loss, liability, damage or expense arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

12. Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each party and otherwise as expressly set forth herein.

13. Waiver. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder or under the Noncompetition Agreement. Any agreement on the part of any party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a party or duly authorized officer on behalf of such party.

14. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or if by facsimile, upon written confirmation of receipt by facsimile, (b) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier or (c) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Employee’s employment with the Company will be at-will, and Employee and the Company may each terminate Employee’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason without payment, penalty or further obligations, except as provided in Section 3(b) hereof. Employee agrees to serve initially in the capacity of Chief Technology Officer. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may change Employee’s employment capacity and provide such additional or different designations of title to Employee as the Board, in its reasonable discretion, may deem appropriate. Employee’s employment shall be in the greater Portland, Oregon area, except for reasonable travel on the Company’s business.

The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, which term may be extended upon mutual agreement of Employee and the Company, subject to approval of the Board. During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall not engage in any other employment or consulting activities without the express prior written consent of the Company, subject to approval of the Board.

At the completion of the term of this Agreement, provided that Employee’s employment with the Company has neither been terminated by the Company for Cause nor has Employee resigned without Good Reason (as defined below), the Company and Employee will enter into a normal and customary consulting agreement (which shall contain normal and customary provisions with respect to ownership and assignment of inventions, intellectual property and work product), with a term of twelve (12) months, at a consulting rate of Three Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($3,800) per week, on an as-requested basis, plus reimbursement of business expenses in accordance with usual corporate policies.

Subject to Section 3 hereof, Employee shall receive (i) a performance-based bonus of up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), payable at the end of the first 12-month period of the term of this Agreement (the “First Period”), provided that Employee is employed by the Company at the end of the First Period, and further conditioned upon attainment of the following milestones for such period and (ii) a performance-based bonus of up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), payable at the end of the second 12-month period of the term of this Agreement (the “Second Period”), provided that Employee is employed by the Company at the end of the Second Period, and further conditioned upon attainment of the following milestones for such period:

(i) On the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall receive a grant of 15,000 I-Flow restricted stock units pursuant to the I-Flow Corporation 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), provided that, on the Effective Date, Employee shall pay to I-Flow in immediately available funds the sum of Fifteen Dollars ($15), which represents payment for the aggregate par value of such restricted stock units at $0.001 par value per share. Such restricted stock units shall (i) in all respects be subject to the Plan and (ii) vest in equal 20% annual installments on each of the five anniversaries following the grant date, subject to earlier vesting in connection with a “change in control” of I-Flow (as defined in the Plan); provided that, subject to Section 3 hereof, no vesting shall occur after the date on which Employee ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Company.

(d) Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to twenty (20) days of paid vacation during each year of this Agreement. Employee shall be permitted to use his vacation at any time during the year, provided that such use is consistent with fulfillment of his duties to the Company. Vacation days shall accrue in accordance with applicable law and Company policy. Employee may not accrue more than twenty (20) days of unused vacation. If Employee at any time has twenty (20) days of accrued unused vacation, no further vacation days shall accrue or be payable until Employee again has fewer than twenty (20) days of unused vacation. Except as may be required by law, the Company shall pay Employee for accrued unused vacation days only in connection with a termination of employment pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof.

(e) Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse Employee, subject to and in accordance with Company policy, for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Employee in the course of his employment with the Company.
