a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has

holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or
holders in Section 262 of the DGCL.

(ii)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6(c)(i), if any holder

employment tax withholding.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take any actions reasonably
necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this Section 2.7 under the Company Stock Plan

2.8    Working Capital Adjustment.

(a)    At least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company
shall deliver to the Parent a statement detailing the Company’s calculation of the Adjusted
Working Capital Amount (such statement, the “Estimated Working Capital Statement” and the
calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount as set forth in the Estimated Working Capital
Statement, the “Estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount”) based on a balance sheet that
the Company shall have prepared as an estimate of the Company’s balance sheet as of the Closing
Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and using the same methodology as in the calculation of the
Adjusted Working Capital Target as described in Schedule 1(b). Such Estimated Working Capital
Statement, subject to the approval of Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed,
conditioned or withheld), shall serve as the basis for the calculation of the Adjusted Working
Capital Amount for purposes of calculating the Merger Consideration at Closing.

(b)    Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Parent may prepare and
deliver to the Securityholder Representative an updated statement of the Adjusted Working Capital
Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”), which Closing
Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as consistently applied by
the Company together with reasonable supporting documentation and a written explanation for any
variance from the Estimated Working Capital Statement. To the extent no Closing Working
Capital Statement is delivered within such forty-five (45) day time period, the Estimated Working







-12-




Capital Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and the Estimated Adjusted
Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be the “Final Adjusted Working Capital Amount.”

(c)    Following any delivery by Parent of the Closing Working Capital
Statement in accordance with Section 2.8(b), the Securityholder Representative and his, her or its
representatives shall be given all such access as they may reasonably require during Parent’s
normal business hours (or such other times as the parties may agree) to those books and records of
the Company and the Surviving Corporation in the possession of, and/or under the control of,
Parent, and access to such personnel or representatives of the Company and Parent as they may
reasonably require for the purposes of resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or
inquiries raised concerning the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the calculation of the
Adjusted Working Capital Amount.

(d)    The Securityholder Representative shall have thirty (30) days following
the date of delivery by Parent to the Securityholder Representative of the Closing Working Capital
Statement to provide Parent with a written certificate confirming that Parent’s calculation of the
Adjusted Working Capital Amount as set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement is correct
(the “Confirmation Certificate”) or notifying Parent in writing of any good faith objections to
specific components of the calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount as set forth on the
Closing Working Capital Statement (a “Working Capital Dispute Notice”). If a Confirmation
Certificate is delivered by or on behalf of the Securityholder Representative pursuant to this
Section 2.8(d) or if within such thirty (30) day period no Confirmation Certificate or Working
Capital Dispute Notice has been delivered by or on behalf of the Securityholder Representative, the
Adjusted Working Capital Amount set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be
deemed to be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement.

(e)    If the Securityholder Representative shall object to all or a portion of the
components of the Closing Working Capital Statement or Parent’s calculation of the Adjusted
Working Capital Amount as reflected in the Working Capital Dispute Notice, a representative of
Parent, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative, on the other, shall negotiate with
one another and attempt in good faith to resolve any such objection within twenty (20) days of the
receipt by Parent of the Working Capital Dispute Notice.

(f)    If Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall be unable to resolve
any such dispute within such twenty (20) day period, Parent and the Securityholder Representative
(either together or separately) shall be entitled to submit the dispute to the Independent Auditor.
Each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause their respective officers, directors,
employees, and representatives to, provide full cooperation to the Independent Auditor. The
Independent Auditor shall (i) act in its capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) consider
only those matters as to which there is a dispute between the parties and (iii) be instructed to reach
its conclusions regarding any such dispute within thirty (30) days after its appointment and provide
a written explanation of its decision. In the event that Parent and the Securityholder Representative
shall submit any dispute to the Independent Auditor, each such party may submit a “position
paper” to the Independent Auditor setting forth the position of such party with respect to such
dispute, to be considered by such Independent Auditor as it deems fit. All fees and expenses







-13-





relating to the engagement of the Independent Auditor shall be paid 50% by the Parent and 50% by
the Securityholder Representative.

(g)    If the Securityholder Representative does not deliver a Working Capital
Dispute Notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.8(d) above, the Closing
Working Capital Statement (together with Parent’s calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital
Amount) shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement. In the
event that the Securityholder Representative delivers a Working Capital Dispute Notice in
accordance with the provisions above and Parent and the Securityholder Representative are able to
resolve such dispute by mutual agreement, the Closing Working Capital Statement, together with
the calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount, to the extent modified by the mutual
agreement of such parties, shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this
Agreement. In the event that the Securityholder Representative delivers a Working Capital Dispute
Notice in accordance with the provisions set forth above and Parent and the Securityholder
Representative are unable to resolve such dispute by mutual agreement, the determination of the
Independent Auditor shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement, together with the
calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount, to the extent modified by the Independent
Auditor, shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement. The
Adjusted Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.8(g) shall be
referred to herein as the “Final Adjusted Working Capital Amount.”

(h)    In the event that it is determined that (i) the Final Adjusted Working
Capital Amount is less than the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount (the “Shortfall
Amount”), Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to
promptly (but in no event more than five (5) business days following the determination of the Final
Adjusted Working Capital Amount) release from the Escrow Fund and deliver to Parent an amount
in cash equal to the Shortfall Amount, and (ii) the Final Adjusted Working Capital Amount
exceeds the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount (the “Excess Amount”), Parent shall
promptly (but in no event more than five (5) business days following the determination of the Final
Adjusted Working Capital Amount) pay to the Company Securityholders an amount of cash equal
to the Excess Amount in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions in accordance with
Section 2.9. In addition to the definition in the previous sentence, the Shortfall Amount or Excess
Amount shall additionally include any amount by which the actual amounts of items (A) through
(G) in the definition of Merger Consideration exceed or fall short of, respectively, the amounts
deducted to determine the Merger Consideration at Closing; provided, however, no amounts shall
be included in the Shortfall Amount or Excess Amount pursuant to this sentence if such amounts
have already been accounted for in the Final Adjusted Working Capital Amount.

2.9    Surrender of Certificates.

(a)    Exchange Procedures. Within two (2) business days following the date of
this Agreement, Parent shall mail to each holder of record (as of the date hereof) of a certificate or
certificates or an instrument or instruments (the “Certificates”), which immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented (i) outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock whose shares are
being converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth herein and (ii) the






-14-





Company Options which are being converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as
set forth herein: (A) 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 delivery of the Certificates to the
Parent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as are reasonably acceptable to the
Company) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for
cash constituting the Merger Consideration (less amounts of cash to be deposited in the Escrow
Fund and the Representative Reimbursement Amount with respect to such Company
Securityholder in accordance with ARTICLE 8); provided, however, that Parent shall be entitled to
rely upon, and shall rely upon, information provided by the Company regarding Company Options
which are being converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration as set forth herein, and
shall not require holders of Company Options to surrender any Certificates related thereto as a
condition to receipt of the appropriate portion of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of
Certificates for cancellation to the Parent (if required), together with such letter of transmittal, duly
completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of record of
such Certificates shall be entitled to receive at the Effective Time in exchange therefor the amount
of cash constituting the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled hereunder as
specified on the Spreadsheet (less amounts of cash to be deposited in the Escrow Fund and the
Representative Reimbursement Amount with respect to such Company Securityholder in
accordance with ARTICLE 8) (the “Closing Consideration”) and the Certificates so surrendered
shall forthwith be cancelled. Any Securityholder that surrenders its Certificates and delivers its
letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions
thereto, shall be entitled to receive within three (3) Business Days after such delivery (or if
surrendered and delivered prior to the Closing Date, on the Closing Date) in exchange therefor its
Closing Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so
surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all
corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which such
securities shall have been so converted.

(b)    Required Withholding. Each of Parent, the Escrow Agent and the
Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or
otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company
Capital Stock or Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld
therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended the (“Code”). To the extent such
amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, the
amount of such consideration shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been
paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

(c)    No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9,
neither the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of
Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.10    No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. All cash paid upon the
surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Options in accordance
with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining






-15-




to such shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Options, and there shall be no further
registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital
Stock or Company Options which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If,
after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason,
they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE 2.

2.11    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Parent shall transfer in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amount of cash
constituting the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that the Parent may, in its discretion and
as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Person who is the owner of such lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificates to provide an indemnification agreement in a form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Parent against Parent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have
been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.12    Adjustments. The per share amounts of any Merger Consideration payable to
Company Securityholders hereunder, and any other applicable numbers or amounts, shall be
adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend
(including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Capital Stock),
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Company
Capital Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective
Time.

2.13    Further Action. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Parent
and the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf
of the Company and Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take
and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, any other actions and things to
vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title
and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the
Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

reasonably anticipated (other than routine claims for benefits) against any Company Employee
Plan or against the assets of any Company Employee Plan. There are no audits, inquiries or
proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened by any Governmental
Entity with respect to any Company Employee Plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA
Affiliate is subject to any penalty or tax with respect to any Company Employee Plan under
Section 502(i) of ERISA or Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code. Each Company Employee
Plan that provides deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code is in material
compliance with Section 409A in form and operation.

(d)    No Pension or Welfare Plans. Neither the Company nor any ERISA
Affiliate has ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in, or contributed to, any
(i) Pension Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code;
(ii) Multiemployer Plan; (iii) “multiple employer plan” as defined in ERISA or the Code; or (iv) a
“funded welfare plan” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code. No Company Employee
Plan provides health benefits that are not fully insured through an insurance contract. The
Company has no ERISA Affiliate other than the Subsidiaries.

(e)    No Post-Employment Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 3.12(e)
of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Company Employee Plan or Employee Agreement provides,
or reflects or represents any liability to provide post-termination or retiree welfare benefits to any
person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA or other applicable Legal
Requirements.

(f)    Effect of Transaction. Except as set forth on Section 3.12(f) of the
Company Disclosure Letter, the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or
subsequent events) constitute an event under any Company Employee Plan or Employee
Agreement or otherwise that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or
otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of Indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or
obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Employee. No payment or benefit which will or
may be made by the Company or its ERISA Affiliates to any Employee will be characterized as a
“parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.

(g)    Employment Matters. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
in conflict with, or in default or in violation of any applicable Legal Requirements or collective






-28-





bargaining agreements or arrangements respecting employment, employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment, Tax withholding (including with respect to classification of employees,
consultants and independent contractors and the filings and withholdings required therefor)
prohibited discrimination, equal employment, fair employment practices, immigration status,
employee safety and health, and wages and hours, except for those conflicts, defaults or violations
that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(h)    Labor. Section 3.12(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true
and complete list of all employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries, including name, title, date
of hire, current base salary, date and amount of last increase and bonus or other incentive
arrangement and indicating any employees on a permitted leave of absence. The Company is not a
party to any collective bargaining agreement or union contract with respect to employees of the
Company or its Subsidiaries and no collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There is no labor dispute, strike or work stoppage against the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened or
reasonably anticipated which may materially interfere with the respective business activities of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective representatives or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries has committed any
material unfair labor practice in connection with the operation of the respective businesses of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no actions, suits, claims, or proceedings pending, or,
to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
relating to any labor, safety or discrimination matters involving any employee of the Company or
its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, charges of material unfair labor practices or
discrimination complaints.

3.13    Real Property. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns or has ever
owned any real property. Section 3.13 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of the real
property currently leased, subleased or licensed by or from the Company or its Subsidiaries (the
“Leased Real Property”). The Company and its Subsidiaries have provided or made available to
Parent true, correct and complete copies of all leases, lease guaranties, subleases, agreements for
the leasing, use or occupancy of the Leased Property, including all amendments, terminations and
modifications thereof (the “Leases”). There is not, under any of the Leases, any material default
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, by and other
party thereto. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no other parties occupying, or with a
right to occupy, the Leased Real Property other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The
Leased Real Property is in good operating condition (normal wear and tear excepted).

3.14    Assets. With respect to the machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures and other
tangible property and assets purported to be owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries which are material to the Company, the Company owns all such assets free and clear
of all Liens, except Permitted Liens, and such assets are in good operating condition (normal wear
and tear excepted). For purposes of clarity, this Section 3.15 does not relate to real property (such
items being the subject of Section 3.13) or Intellectual Property Rights (such items being solely the
subject of Section 3.8).






-29-





3.15    Environmental Matters. (i) The Company is in material compliance with all
applicable Legal Requirements promulgated by any Governmental Entity which prohibit, regulate,
or control any Hazardous Material (“Environmental Laws”); (ii) the Company has not received
any written notice of any claim or order alleging the Company’s violation of, or liability under any
Environmental Law which has not heretofore been cured; and (iii) there is no action or proceeding
pending against the Company alleging the Company’s failure to comply with Environmental Laws.
The Parties agree that the only representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement
which relate to Environmental Laws or a Hazardous Material are those contained in this
Section 3.15.

3.16    Contracts.

(a)    Material Contracts. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Material
Contract” means:

(i) any Contract containing any covenant limiting the right of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any line of business;

(ii) any Contract granting any third Person the right to distribute
Company Products or services;

(iii) any Contract or commitment relating to the disposition or
acquisition by the Company of assets or any interest in any business enterprises
outside the ordinary course of business;

(iv) any Contracts that contain “most favored nation” pricing
provisions;

(v) any mortgages, indentures, guarantees, loans or credit agreements,
security agreements or other agreements or instruments relating to the borrowing
or money;

(vi) any other Contract that involves a payment to or from the
Company in excess of $250,000 on its face in any individual case; and

(vii) any material Company IP Contracts listed in Section 3.8(i) of the
Company Disclosure Letter.

(b)    No Breach. True, complete and correct copies of all Company Material
Contracts have been made available to Parent. All Company Material Contracts are enforceable
against the Company and, to the Knowledge of the Company, against the other parties thereto
except in each case (i) as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally
and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (ii) as
the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be
subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction before which





-30-





any proceeding may be brought. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has violated any
provision of, or committed or failed to perform any act which, with or without notice, lapse of time
or both would constitute a material default under the provisions of, any Company Material Contract
or give rise to a material liability of the Company or its Subsidiaries under any material Contract.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have never been suspended or debarred from bidding on
contracts or subcontracts for or with any Governmental Entity and no suspension or debarment
actions have been commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the
Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Employees. The Company and its
Subsidiaries do not have in effect and are not required to have in effect any security clearances in
connection with the operation of its business. Each Contract granting any Third Party the right to
distribute Company Products or services is terminable by the Company on no more than thirty (30)
days notice without liability or financial obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.17    Insurance. The Company maintains insurance of the type and in amounts
customarily carried by organizations conducting businesses or owning assets similar to those of the
Company and in a similar stage of development. All premiums due and payable under all such
policies have been paid, and the Company is otherwise in compliance in all material respects with
the terms of such policies. The Company has no Knowledge of any threatened termination of, or
premium increase with respect to, any such policy, except in accordance with the terms thereof.

3.18    Absence of Certain Commercial Practices, Related Parties. None of the Company,
its Subsidiaries, their respective directors, officers or employees, nor to the Company’s
Knowledge, its stockholders or agents, in each case acting on the Company’s behalf, have (a) given
or agreed to give any gift or similar benefit of more than nominal value to any customer, supplier
or governmental employee or official or any other Person which is, or could reasonably be
expected to be, in a position to materially help or materially hinder the Company or its Subsidiaries
or assist the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with any proposed transaction, which gift or
similar benefit, if not given in the past, could reasonably be expected to have adversely affected the
assets, business, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results or operations of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, or which, if not continued in the future, could reasonably be expected
to adversely affect the assets, business, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results or
operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (b) used any corporate or other funds for unlawful
contributions, payments, gifts or entertainment, or made any unlawful expenditures relating to
political activity to government officials or otherwise or established or maintained any unlawful or
unrecorded funds. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their respective directors, officers or
employees, nor to the Company’s Knowledge, its stockholders or agents, in each case acting on the
Company’s behalf, have accepted or received any unlawful contributions, payments, gifts or
expenditures. The rights, property and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries include all
rights, properties and other assets necessary for the conduct of the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof and during the
past six months. Except as set forth in Section 3.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the
Company’s Knowledge, no officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries (a) has any direct
or indirect interest in any material asset (including Intellectual Property) used in the business of the
Company or its Subsidiaries; (b) is indebted to the Company or its Subsidiaries; (c) is a party to
any Contract, transaction or business dealing involving the Company or its Subsidiaries (other than






-31-





Contracts, transactions or business dealings related to such Person’s employment, service as a
director, or ownership interest in the Company or the Subsidiaries) or that competes directly with
the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (d) has any claim or right against the Company or its
Subsidiaries (other than the Company Securityholders’ rights under this Agreement or rights to
receive compensation for services performed as an employee, director or service provider of the
Company or its Subsidiaries).

3.19    No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and
warranties contained in this ARTICLE 3 (as modified by the Company Disclosure Letter) or
contained in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, neither the
Company nor any other Person makes any other express or implied representation or warranty
(including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose) with respect
to the Company or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the
Company disclaims any other representations or warranties, whether made by the Company or any
of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, other representatives or any other Person.
Except for the representations and warranties contained in this ARTICLE 3 (as modified by the
Company Disclosure Letter) or contained in any certificate to be delivered by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company hereby disclaims, for itself and each of its affiliates and
representatives, all liability and responsibility for any representation, warranty, statement, or
information made, communicated, or furnished (orally or in writing) to Parent or its affiliates or
representatives (including any opinion, information, projection, or advice that may have been or
may be provided to Parent by any director, officer, employee, agent, consultant, other
representative of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any other Person). The Company makes
no representations or warranties to Parent regarding any projection or forecast regarding future
results or activities or the probable success or profitability of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE 4.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT
AND MERGER SUB

Parent and Merger Sub hereby represent and warrant to the Company, subject to such
exceptions as are specifically identified in the disclosure letter (which shall deemed to be the case
if such disclosure letter either references the appropriate section, subsection, paragraph and
subparagraph numbers hereof or if the applicability or relevance of the disclosure therein to any
section hereof is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure) supplied by Parent and Merger
Sub to the Company (the “Parent Disclosure Letter”) on the date hereof and as of the Closing

power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now

-32-





which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such
qualification necessary other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so organized,
existing and in good standing or so qualified, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to be material to Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

4.2    Merger Sub. The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares of
common stock, par value $1.00 per share, all of which shares are issued and outstanding. Parent is

Agreement by Parent as Merger Sub’s sole stockholder and the filing of the Certificate of Merger
pursuant to Delaware Law. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and
Merger Sub and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with their
terms except (A) as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally
and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and
(B) as the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may
be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction before
which any proceeding may be brought.

(b)    Non–Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by
Parent and Merger Sub does not, and performance of this Agreement by Parent will not: (i) conflict

of time or both would become a default) under, or impair Parent’s rights or alter the rights or
obligations of any third party under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,






-33-





acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the properties or assets

registration, declaration or filing with any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made
by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby, except for the Necessary
Consents listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 3.3(c).

4.4    Litigation. As of the date hereof, there are no claims, suits, actions or proceedings
pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, before
any court, governmental department, commission, agency, instrumentality or authority, or any
arbitrator that seeks to restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
or which would reasonably be expected, either singularly or in the aggregate with all such claims,
actions or proceedings, to be material to Parent.

4.5    Brokers’ and Finders’ Fees; Fees and Expenses. Parent has not incurred, nor will it
incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or
any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.

management, operations and finances of the Company and its Subsidiaries with their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives, and has had an opportunity to

ARTICLE 3 and in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (and
acknowledges that such representations and warranties are the only representations and warranties
made by the Company) and has not relied upon any other information provided by, for or on behalf
of the Company or its affiliates or representatives, to Parent in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Parent has entered into the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement with the understanding, acknowledgement and agreement that no representations or

Agreement, Parent is not relying on, and acknowledges that no current or former stockholder,

Subsidiaries or any other Person, has made or is making, any representations, warranties or
commitments whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied.

Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall not
authorize or knowingly permit its and its Subsidiaries’ Employees, stockholders, agents and
representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its

agreement or commitment contemplating any Acquisition Proposal or transaction contemplated
thereby. The Company and its Subsidiaries will immediately cease any and all existing activities,
discussions or negotiations with any third parties conducted heretofore with respect to any
Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any
proposal or offer from any Person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, equity interests of the Company, any tender offer or
exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning equity interests
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any merger, consolidation, business combination,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the acquisition of equity
interests or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, exercise of Company Options and sales of the Company’s
inventory and Company Products in the ordinary course of business.

(b)    Notification of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals. As promptly as
practicable after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall, subject to any existing
confidentiality obligation with the party making such request or inquiry, provide Parent with oral
and written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or
inquiry, and the identity of the Person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or
inquiry.

Stockholder Approval within one (1) day following the time of execution of this Agreement in
compliance with applicable Legal Requirements.

6.3    Confidentiality; Access to Information; No Modification of Representations,
Warranties or Covenants.

(a)    Confidentiality. The parties acknowledge that the Company and Parent
have previously executed a confidentiality agreement dated April 18, 2011, (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect in accordance
with its terms and each of Parent and the Company will hold, and will cause its respective
directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (including attorneys, accountants, consultants,
bankers and financial advisors) to hold any information obtained pursuant to the negotiation and
execution of this Agreement or the effectuation of the transactions contemplated hereby
confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b)    Access to Information. The Company will afford Parent and Parent’s
accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to
its properties, books, records and personnel during the period prior to the Effective Time to obtain
all information concerning the Company’s business, including the status of development efforts
related to the Company Products, properties, results of operations and personnel, in each case
solely for purposes of this Agreement, as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that
the Company may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (i) any law, treaty, rule or
regulation of any Governmental Entity applicable to such party requires such party or its
Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, or (ii) such access






-38-





would be in breach of any confidentiality obligation, commitment or provision by which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, which confidentiality obligation,
commitment or provision shall be disclosed to Parent, provided that disclosure of such obligation,
commitment or provision would not itself be the breach of an obligation or commitment to a third
Person. With respect to the exchange of competitively sensitive information, including strategic
and marketing plans, pricing material and customer specific data, outside antitrust counsel will be
consulted prior to the exchange of such information, and such information shall not be exchanged

of any Contract, which in each case was disclosed in Section 3.3(b) of the Company Disclosure

Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Escrow Fund, unless and until the
Indemnified Parties have incurred Losses in excess of $2,500,000 in the aggregate (the

shall be available to compensate each of the Indemnified Parties for any such Losses, and, subject

for any Loss related to or arising from (A) the value or condition of any Tax asset or attribute of the

affiliates to utilize such Tax asset or attribute following the Effective Time, shall be subject to a
claim for recovery by any Indemnified Party hereunder; (ii) any Losses recoverable from the
Escrow Fund hereunder shall be reduced in amount by any Tax benefits, insurance proceeds,
indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements realized by any Indemnified
Party in connection with such Losses or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto, and Parent
and the Indemnified Parties shall, as a condition to receiving any amounts from the Escrow Fund,
use all reasonable efforts to realize such benefits, proceeds payments or reimbursements, (iii) no
Losses shall be recoverable from the Escrow Fund hereunder that (A) constitute punitive or special
damages or (B) could have been avoided through reasonable efforts to mitigate such Losses which
were not taken by Parent, the Surviving Corporation and/or the Indemnified Parties, and (iv) the

circumstances existing at the time) to satisfy any unsatisfied claims for Losses specified in any
Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Securityholder Representative on or
prior to the Escrow Termination Date and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8. As
soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall immediately deliver the






-47-





remaining portion of the Escrow Release Amount not required to satisfy such claims to the
Company Securityholders. Deliveries from the Escrow Fund to the Company Securityholders
pursuant to this Section 8.5 and the Escrow Agreement shall be made in proportion to their
respective Pro Rata Portion of the remaining Escrow Amount, with each amount rounded to the
nearest whole cent ($0.01).

8.6    Securityholder Representative.

(a)    By virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the requisite
consent of the Company Securityholders, each of the Company Securityholders (other than such
Company Securityholders, if any, who have perfected appraisal rights under Delaware) shall be
deemed to have agreed to appoint Technology Crossover Management VI, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company, as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Securityholder Representative”)
for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders to give and receive notices and communications,
to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by
any Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and
compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate,
enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, any
other claim by any Indemnified Party against any Company Securityholder or by any such
Company Securityholder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified
Party and any such Company Securityholders, in each case relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or
appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the
foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.
Such agency may be changed by the Company Securityholders with the right to a majority of the
Pro Rata Portions of the Escrow Fund from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Securityholder Representative may resign at any time by providing written notice of intent to
resign to the Company Securityholders, which resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of
(A) thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of such written notice or (B) the appointment of a
successor by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of
the Securityholder Representative, and the Securityholder Representative shall not receive any
compensation for its services.

(b)    The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or
omitted hereunder as Securityholder Representative while acting in good faith, even if such act or
omission constitutes negligence on the part of such Securityholder Representative. The
Securityholder Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and
shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Securityholder Representative may engage
attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts. The Securityholder Representative may
in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or
presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Securityholder Representative based
on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith. The Company
Securityholders shall indemnify the Securityholder Representative and hold the Securityholder
Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred on the part of the
Securityholder Representative (so long as the Securityholder Representative was acting in good






-48-





faith in connection therewith) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the Securityholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable
fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Securityholder Representative and travel
expenses (“Securityholder Representative Expenses”). The Representative Reimbursement
Fund shall be available to reimburse the Securityholder Representative Expenses actually incurred
by the Securityholder Representative promptly following the Securityholder Representative’s
delivery to the Escrow Agent of a certificate setting forth such Securityholder Representative
Expenses actually incurred. Upon the Escrow Termination Date, the balance of the Representative
Reimbursement Fund shall promptly be delivered to the Company Securityholders, except with
respect to any amount necessary to satisfy any pending certified requests made by the
Securityholder Representative for Securityholder Representative Expenses. As soon as all such
Securityholder Representative Expenses have been properly paid, the Escrow Agent shall
immediately deliver the remaining portion of the Representative Reimbursement Amount to the
Company Securityholders. Deliveries from the Representative Reimbursement Fund to the
Company Securityholders pursuant to this Section 8.6(b) and the Escrow Agreement shall be made
in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portion of the remaining Representative Reimbursement
Amount, with each amount rounded to the nearest whole cent ($0.01). A decision, act, consent or
instruction of the Securityholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of
this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.4 or 9.5 hereof, shall constitute a decision of the Company
Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Securityholders.

(c)    From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause Surviving
Corporation to provide the Securityholder Representative with reasonable access to information
about the Surviving Corporation solely for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its
rights under this Agreement.

8.7    Third-Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third
party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in
a demand against the Escrow Fund or for other indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 8,
Parent shall promptly notify the Securityholder Representative of such claim (but the failure to so
notify the Securityholder Representative shall not adversely affect the Indemnified Parties right to
indemnification or compensation pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 except to the extent such failure
materially prejudices the Securityholder Representative). The Securityholder Representative may,
at his, her or its election and expense, undertake and conduct the defense of such Third Party
Claim. Parent shall be entitled, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of
such Third Party Claim. If the Securityholder Representative undertakes the defense of the Third
Party Claim, the Securityholder Representative shall obtain the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld) before
settling such claim. If the Securityholder Representative does not so elect to undertake and conduct
the defense of such Third Party Claim, Parent shall undertake the defense of and use all reasonable
efforts to defend such claim and shall consult with the Securityholder Representative regarding the
strategy for defense of such claim, including with respect to Parent’s choice of legal counsel,
provided however, that Parent shall have the right in its reasonable discretion to settle any such
claim; provided, further, that except with the prior written consent of the Securityholder
Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, no settlement of any







-49-





such Third Party Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of any Losses relating to
such matter.

8.8    No Other Representations and Warranties.

(a)    Each of the Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that it has
made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, including the representations and
warranties of the Company in this Agreement and any certificate delivered by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Company and its
businesses and operations, and Parent and Merger Sub have been furnished with or given full
access to such information about the Company and its businesses and operations as they requested.
In connection with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s investigation of the Company and its businesses and
operations, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective representatives have received from the
Company or its representatives certain projections and other forecasts for the Company and certain
estimates, plans and budget information. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that
(i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections, forecasts, estimates,
plans and budgets; (ii) Parent and Merger Sub are familiar with such uncertainties; and (iii) Parent
and Merger Sub are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluations of the adequacy and
accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to them or their
representatives.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties
shall have no claim or right to recovery pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 or otherwise, and none of the
Indemnified Parties or any other person shall have or be subject to any liability to Merger Sub,
Parent, the Indemnified Parties or any other person, with respect to (i) except with respect to any
information, documents or materials included or referred to on the Company Disclosure Letter, any
information, documents or materials furnished, delivered or made available by the Company or its
affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors to Parent or Merger Sub, in certain
“data rooms”, management presentations or any other form in contemplation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or (ii) with respect to any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets of
future revenue, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof),
future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component
thereof) of the Company or the future business, operations or affairs of the Company heretofore or
hereafter delivered to or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective representatives or
affiliates.

8.9    Subrogation. Except as provided in the next sentence, to the extent that any
Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, the Securityholder
Representative shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies
(including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that any
Indemnified Party may have against any other Person with respect to any Losses, circumstances or
matter to which such indemnification is directly or indirectly related. No Company Securityholder
shall have any right of contribution, right of indemnity, or other right or remedy against the
Surviving Corporation, Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in connection with any
obligation of a Company Securityholder to indemnify any Indemnified Party in connection with






-50-





this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any right of an Indemnified Party under
ARTICLE 8. The Indemnified Parties shall permit the Securityholder Representative to use the
name of the Indemnified Party in any transaction or in any proceeding or other matter involving
any such rights or remedies, and the Indemnified Party shall take such actions as the Securityholder
Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Securityholder
Representative to perfect or exercise the right of subrogation of the Indemnified Party under this
Section 8.9, unless in the reasonable judgment of Parent, such action could have a material adverse
effect on the Surviving Corporation or the Company or its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE 9.

9.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective
Time, by action taken or authorized by the Board of Directors of the terminating party or parties,
and except as provided below, whether before or after the requisite approvals of the stockholders of
the Company:

(a)    by mutual written consent duly authorized by the boards of directors of
Parent and the Company;

(b)    by either the Company or Parent if the Merger shall not have been
consummated on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the date of this Agreement (the “End
Date”); provided, that, if the Closing shall have not occurred solely due to the non-satisfaction of
the condition contained in Section 7.1(c), the End Date shall be extended to the date that is two
hundred ten (210) days after the date of this Agreement; and provided, however, that the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action
or failure to act (including the failure to act in compliance with Section 6.5) has been a principal
cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or
failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

(c)    by either the Company or Parent if a Governmental Entity shall have
issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (including the failure to have taken an
action), in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting
the Merger, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

(d)    by the Company, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement on the part of Parent set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty
of Parent shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in
Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the
time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that the Company may
not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) prior to thirty (30) days following the
receipt of written notice by Parent from the Company of such breach (it being understood that the
Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) if the Company is in
material breach of this Agreement or if such breach by Parent is cured so that such conditions
would then be satisfied); or






-51-





(e)    by Parent, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or
warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth
in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the
time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that Parent may not
terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(e) prior to the thirty (30) days following the
receipt of written notice by the Company from Parent of such breach (it being understood that
Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) if Parent is in material
breach of this Agreement or if such breach by the Company is cured so that such conditions would
then be satisfied).

9.2    Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement
under Section 9.1 will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a valid written notice of the
terminating party to the other parties hereto. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as
provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except (a) as set forth
in Section 6.3(a), this Section 9.2, Section 9.3 and ARTICLE 10, each of which shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and (b) if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the
breach of this Agreement by another party or because one or more of the conditions to the
terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party’s
failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, then the terminating party’s right to
pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired. No termination of this
Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all
of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

9.3    Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,

parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time
before or after approval and adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company,
provided that after approval and adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company,
no amendment shall be made which by requires further approval by the stockholders of the
Company without such further stockholder approval. This Agreement may not be amended except
by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the
Company.

9.5    Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time any party hereto, by
action taken or authorized by its respective Board of Directors (if applicable), may, to the extent

10.2    Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, such
reference shall be to an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is
made in this Agreement to Sections, such reference shall be to a section of this Agreement unless
otherwise indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, the words “include,” “includes” and
“including,” when used herein, shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without
limitation.” The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
When reference is made herein to “the business of” an entity, such reference shall be deemed to
include the business of all such entity and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. An exception or
disclosure made in Company Disclosure Letter with regard to a representation of the Company, or
in the Parent Disclosure Letter with regard to a representation of Parent or Merger Sub, shall be
deemed made with respect to any other representation by such party to which such exception or
disclosure is reasonably apparent. Any currency thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a
benchmark for the determination of what is or is not “material” or a “Material Adverse Effect”
under this Agreement.

10.3    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or
more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

10.4    Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents
and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to
herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter (a) constitute the
entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect until the Closing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (b) are not
intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder following the Effective
Time, except such provisions that act for the benefit of (i) the Company Securityholders set forth in
ARTICLE 2, (ii) the Company Indemnified Parties set forth in Section 6.7, and the Indemnified
Parties as set forth in ARTICLE 8.

10.5    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application
thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the
application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably
to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or
unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve,
to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or
unenforceable provision.









-55-





10.6    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under
applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

10.7    Waiver of Conflicts. The parties hereto (collectively, the “Consenting Parties”)
acknowledge that at all times relevant hereto up to the Closing, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati,
Professional Corporation (“Company Counsel”) has represented only the Company. If subsequent
to the Closing any dispute were to arise relating in any manner to this Agreement or the Escrow
Agreement between the Securityholder Representative, on the one hand, and another Consenting
Party, on the other hand (each a “Dispute”), the Consenting Parties consent to Company Counsel’s
representation of the Securityholder Representative in the Dispute(s). The Consenting Parties
acknowledge that Company Counsel has been and will be providing legal advice to the Company
in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Escrow Agreement and in such capacity will have obtained confidential information of the
Company (the “Company Confidential Information”). The Company Confidential Information
includes all communications, whether written or electronic, between Company Counsel and the
directors, officers, stockholders, accounting firm, and/or employees of the Company, all files,
attorney notes, drafts or other documents directly relating to this Agreement or the Escrow
Agreement, which predate the Closing (collectively, the “Company Counsel Work Product”). In
any Dispute, to the extent that any Company Confidential Information is in Company Counsel’s
possession at the Effective Time, such Company Confidential Information may be used on behalf
of the Securityholder Representative and the Consenting Parties in connection with such Dispute.
In any Dispute, the Consenting Parties waive the right to present any Company Counsel Work
Product as evidence in any legal proceeding arising out of such Dispute. The Consenting Parties
waive their right to access any Company Counsel Work Product, except as reasonably necessary in
connection with a legal proceeding that is not a Dispute. The Consenting Parties hereby consent to
the disclosure and use by Company Counsel for the benefit of the Company Securityholders and
the Securityholder Representative in any action arising under this Agreement of any information
(confidential or otherwise) disclosed to it by the Company (including its directors, officers,
Company Securityholders, accounting firm, and/or employees of the Company) prior to the
Effective Time. Except as expressly set forth above, this Section 10.7 shall not grant any rights to
the Securityholder Representative with respect to the Company Confidential Information except as
described herein.

10.8    Consent to Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF
THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO
THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND OF THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND IN
RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND
HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT
OR PROCEEDINGS FOR THE INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR
THEREOF, THAT IT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR
PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS






-56-





OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND
THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH A
DELAWARE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. DURING SUCH PERIOD AND AS TO SUCH
MATTERS, THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH COURT
JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER
PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE
MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 10.1 OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE
THEREOF. WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTICULAR ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING,
VENUE SHALL LIE IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

10.9    Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by
counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the
application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an
agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or
document.

10.10    Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights,
interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties, provided
that after the Closing, Parent may make such assignment to a Subsidiary of Parent without such
approval subject to (a) Parent providing prior written notice to the Securityholder Representative
and (b) Parent and the Subsidiary continuing to be bound by the obligations of the Parent under this
Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.10 shall be void. Subject to
the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.11    No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any
right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any
breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise
of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

10.12    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION,
PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
