Such resulting quotients are referred to herein as the “Exchange Ratio.” “Fully Diluted Shares” shall be equal to the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, immediately prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.2), calculated on a fully diluted, fully converted basis as though all convertible debt and equity securities and options (whether vested or unvested) and warrants had been converted or exercised. Such portion of the Equity Consideration as shall be obtained by dividing $2,750,000 by the Closing Market Price (as

hereinafter defined) issuable to the Shareholders who are Employees (as hereinafter defined) of the Company (allocated among them pro rata based on their shares of Company stock owned immediately prior to the Closing) shall be subject to vesting pursuant to Section 7.9 (the “Restricted Equity Consideration”). Schedule 1.2 attached hereto sets forth, with respect to the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 2.1), (i) the Exchange Ratio, (ii) the aggregate cash payment to be paid in connection with the Step One Merger to the Shareholders, and (iii) the aggregate Equity Consideration to be issued in connection with the Step One Merger to the Shareholders (including the aggregate Restricted Equity Consideration to be issued in connection with the Step One Merger to employee Shareholders).

In connection with the exercise of any such Company Stock Option, the Company shall withhold the requisite amount for tax purposes provided in Section 1.7 hereof. Each outstanding Company Stock Option, not already vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled at the Effective Time without the payment of any consideration therefore, and shall be of no further force and effect, without any assumption thereof.

The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any other instruments served pursuant to Article 9, Section 910 of the NYBC received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Article 9, Section 910 of NYBC.

ARTICLE II

The consideration payable by virtue of the Step One Merger to the holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”) shall consist of (a) $15,522,500 (the “Cash Consideration”); and (b) that number of shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) as shall be obtained by dividing $15,000,000 by the Closing Market Price (as hereinafter defined) (the “Equity Consideration”). Such Cash Consideration and Equity Consideration which shall be issuable or payable at the Closing, as the case may be, as provided herein shall in the aggregate be referred to as the “Merger Consideration”. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Closing Market Price” shall mean the average of the last quoted sale price for shares of Parent Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market for the thirty (30) trading days ending July 21, 2005.

2.2. Time and Place of Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Article XI and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles IX and X, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) business days) after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles IX and X, at the offices of Marchex, Inc., 413 Pine Street, Suite 500, Seattle, Washington, 98101 unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the Company and the Parent. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles IX and X, the Company and the First Acquisition Corp. shall execute and deliver an agreement or certificate of merger relating to the Step One Merger in accordance with DGCL and NYBC on or before the Closing Date, and shall cause such agreement or certificate of merger to be filed in accordance with DGCL and NYBC on the Closing Date. Immediately following the filing of the Step One Certificate of Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be filed an agreement or certificate of merger relating to the Step Two Merger in accordance with DLLCA and NYBC on the Closing Date. The date of such Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date” and the effective time of such Closing for accounting purposes shall be 12:01 a.m. PST on such date.

2.3. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) At the Closing, certificates representing not less than ninety percent (90%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be surrendered for cancellation and termination in the Step One Merger (accompanied, as to any certificates delivered at Closing by a Shareholder other than a Primary Shareholder, by the surrender of a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”). At the Effective Time, each certificate representing issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall be canceled in exchange for the amount of Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1. After payment by the Company (or by Parent as directed by the Company) of all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.5 from the Cash Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration, the remaining Merger Consideration shall be

distributed as follows (as set forth on Schedule 2.3) to the extent Certificates have been surrendered at Closing (and, as to Shareholders other than the Primary Shareholders, to the extent Letters of Transmittal have been delivered at Closing) (or thereafter upon surrender of Certificates) (and if applicable, Letters of Transmittal): (i) the remaining Cash Consideration payable to the Primary Shareholders shall be wired to an account or accounts designated by the Primary Shareholders and the Cash Consideration payable to the Shareholders other than the Primary Shareholders shall be paid by overnight or hand delivery of a check representing immediately available funds to such Shareholders at their address set forth in their respective Letters of Transmittal, less $2,475,000 which shall be placed in escrow to satisfy the obligations pursuant to Article XII hereof (the “Cash Escrow”), and (ii) the Equity Consideration shall be distributed to the Shareholders (in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Primary Shareholders as to their Equity Consideration and in the Letters of Transmittal as to the Equity Consideration to be received by the Shareholders other than the Primary Shareholders) in the amount set forth on Schedule 2.3 (including the Restricted Equity Consideration to be distributed to Employee Shareholders), less that number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued as part of the Equity Consideration as shall be obtained by dividing $2,250,000 by the Closing Market Price which shall be placed in escrow to satisfy the obligations pursuant to Article XII hereof (the “Stock Escrow”). Until surrendered with an executed Letter of Transmittal, each outstanding Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Common Stock, but shall, subject to applicable appraisal rights under the NYBC, have no other rights. Subject to appraisal rights under the NYBC, from and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights in respect of such shares and their rights shall be solely in respect of the amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock have been converted.

(b) If any cash is to be paid or any shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate(s) surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of such cash or the issuance of such shares that (i) the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be transferable, and shall be properly assigned, endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, (ii) such transfer shall otherwise be proper and (iii) the person requesting such transfer shall pay Parent, or its exchange agent, any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Company shall be liable to a holder of shares of Common Stock for cash paid to such holder pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.2(a) of this Agreement that are delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(c) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the cash or shares issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.2(a) of this Agreement. The Board of Directors of Parent may in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide

to Parent an indemnity agreement against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.4. No Fractional Securities. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issuable by the Parent upon the conversion of shares of Common Stock in the Step One Merger pursuant to Section 1.2(a) hereof. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be entitled to receive instead an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Closing Market Price.

2.5. Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.

2.6. No Further Ownership Rights in Common Stock. The amount of cash delivered and number of shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates for shares of Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.7. Escrow.

The Company has in force, and is in compliance with, in all material respects, all governmental permits, licenses, exemptions, consents, authorizations and approvals used in or required for the conduct of its business as presently conducted, all of which shall continue in full force and effect, without requirement of any filing or the giving of any notice and without modification thereof, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

The reserves for bad debts reflected on the Balance Sheet were calculated in accordance with GAAP consistent with past practice and the Company reasonably believes such reserves are adequate. The Company reasonably believes that all such accounts receivable are good and collectible at the aggregate recorded amounts thereof, net of any applicable reserves for bad debts reflected on the Balance Sheet, and since June 30, 2005, there have not been any write-offs as uncollectible of any accounts receivable of the Company.

(f) Effective upon the Closing, each such Shareholder voluntarily releases and discharges Parent, First Acquisition Corp. and Second Acquisition Corp., their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns, and each of them, and the current and former officers, directors, stockholders, employees, and agents of each of the foregoing (any and all of which are referred to as the “Parent Releasees”), from all charges, complaints, claims, promises, agreements, causes of action, damages, and debts of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, which such Shareholder has, claims to have, ever had, or ever claimed to have had against the Company, Parent, First Acquisition Corp., Second Acquisition Corp. or any other Parent Releasees, whether arising under federal or state law and whether as a Shareholder or employee of the Company or in any other capacity; provided, however, such release shall not apply to any breach of this Agreement by any Parent Releasees or to any matter that arises after the Closing Date.

4.2. Parent Common Stock. Each of the Shareholders severally represents and warrants to the Parent, First Acquisition Corp. and Second Acquisition Corp. as follows:

(a) Each of the Shareholders understands that the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to such Shareholder in connection with the Step One Merger will not have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities law by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the other representations and warranties made by the Shareholders in this Agreement. Such Shareholder understands that the Parent is relying, in part, upon such Shareholder’s representation and warranties contained in this Section 4.2 for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.

(b) Each of the Shareholders has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters so that such Shareholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to the extent that such Shareholder has deemed it appropriate to do so, such Shareholder has relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the tax, legal and financial merits and consequences of an investment in Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Shareholders has made, either alone or together with such Shareholder’s advisors, such independent investigation of the Parent, its management and related matters as such Shareholder deems to be, or such advisors have advised to be, necessary or advisable in connection with an investment in the Parent Common Stock through the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and such Shareholder and such advisors have received all information and data that such Shareholder and such advisors believe to be necessary in order to

reach an informed decision as to the advisability of an investment in the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Each of the Shareholders has reviewed such Shareholder’s financial condition and commitments, alone and together with such Shareholder’s advisors, and, based on such review, such Shareholder is satisfied that (A) the Shareholder has adequate means of providing for the Shareholder’s financial needs and possible contingencies and has assets or sources of income which, taken together, are more than sufficient so that he could bear the risk of loss of the Shareholder’s entire investment in the Parent Common Stock, (B) the Shareholder has no present or contemplated future need to dispose of all or any portion of the Parent Common Stock to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness, and (C) the Shareholder is capable of bearing the economic risk of an investment in the Parent Common Stock for the indefinite future. Such Shareholder shall furnish any additional information about the Shareholder reasonably requested by the Parent to assure the compliance of this transaction with applicable federal and state securities laws.

(e) Each of the Shareholders understands that the shares of the Parent Common Stock to be received by the Shareholders in the transactions contemplated hereby will be “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the Securities Act and the rules of the SEC promulgated thereunder provide in substance that the Shareholders may dispose of such shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration if available, including but not limited to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Each of the Shareholders further understands that applicable state securities laws may impose additional constraints upon the sale of securities. As a consequence, each of the Shareholders understands that such Shareholders may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Parent Common Stock to be received by such Shareholders pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby for an indefinite period of time.

(f) Except as provided in Article XII, each of the Shareholders is acquiring shares of the Parent Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby for investment only and not with a view to or intention of or in connection with any resale or distribution of such shares or any interest therein.

(g) The certificate(s) evidencing the shares of the Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby shall bear the following legend:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.”

5.4. SEC Reports and Financial Statements. The Parent has heretofore delivered or made available to the Company complete and correct copies of all reports and other filings filed by the Parent with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Acts”) since and including the effective date of the Form SB-2 Registration Statement with respect to the Parent’s initial public offering (such reports and other filings collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Filings”).

The audited financial statements of the Parent included in the SEC Filings comply in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, and such audited financial statements (i) were prepared from the books and records of the Parent, (ii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes or schedules thereto) and (iii) present fairly the financial position of the Parent as at the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject to normal year-end adjustments and any other adjustments described therein or in the notes or schedules thereto. The unaudited financial statements included in the SEC Filings comply in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto and such unaudited financial statements (i) were prepared from the books and records of the Parent, (ii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes or schedules thereto) and (iii) present fairly the financial position of the Parent as at the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject to normal year-end adjustments and any other adjustments described therein or in the notes or schedules thereto.

5.5. Legal Proceedings, etc. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, proceeding, claim or arbitration or, to Parent’s knowledge, investigation pending, that would have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, nor, to the knowledge of the Parent, is there a threatened action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation against Parent or any of its subsidiaries that would have a Parent Material Adverse Effect or that in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.6. Compliance with Applicable Law. Parent is not in violation in any respect of any applicable safety, health, environmental or any other law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, judgment, order, injunction, writ or decree of any federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental or regulatory body, agency or authority having, asserting or claiming jurisdiction over it or over any part of its business, operations, properties or assets, except for any violation that would not have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

5.7. Brokers; Payments. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Parent, First Acquisition Corp. and/or Second Acquisition Corp.

One hundred percent (100%) of the shares of Restricted Equity Consideration not already vested shall become immediately vested in the event of an Acceleration Event applicable to the respective Employee Shareholder. While the shares of Restricted Equity Consideration are subject to vesting pursuant to this Section 7.9, the Employee Shareholders will have all rights with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the right to vote the shares and the right to dividends paid on the shares, if any), except that the Employee Shareholders shall not have the right to possession and sale thereof. For the purposes hereof, Acceleration Event shall be defined as (a) a Change of Control (as defined herein), (b) the termination of employment of the Employee Shareholder without Cause or due to Disability (as defined in the respective employment agreement or side letter) or upon death, or (c) the resignation of the Employee Shareholder for Good Reason (as defined in the respective employment agreement or side letter). For the purposes hereof, “Change of Control” shall mean (x) an event when any “person”, as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, except for an existing shareholder of Parent as of the date hereof, is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Parent representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Parent’s then outstanding securities, other than as a result of the purchase of equity securities directly from the Parent in connection with a financing transaction; (y) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Parent with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s securities outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization is owned by persons who were not shareholders of the Parent immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization; or (z) the Parent sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of its respective assets or adopts any plan or proposal for its liquidation or dissolution. A Change of Control shall not occur if the person, surviving entity, or transferee is a wholly-owned (direct or indirect) subsidiary of Parent; provided, however, that an Acceleration Event shall occur upon a Change of Control of such wholly-owned subsidiary.

7.10. Repurchase Right.

(a) In the event that an Employee Shareholder’s employment relationship, with Parent terminates, for any reason whatsoever, whether due to voluntary or involuntary action or otherwise, the Parent shall have the right to repurchase at the Repurchase Price (as defined herein) all or any portion of the shares of Restricted Equity Consideration that are not already vested (subject to any additional vesting due to an Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 7.9), which right may be exercised at any time and from time to time within ninety (90) days after the date of such termination or such longer period as may be determined in good faith by the Parent if such later repurchase is deemed necessary by the Parent for treatment of its stock as Qualified Small Business Stock under Section 1202 of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) Parent may exercise its right of repurchase of such shares of Restricted Equity Consideration held by such Employee Shareholder by providing written notice to such Employee Shareholder stating the number of shares to be repurchased, at a purchase price of $.01 per share (the “Repurchase Price”) and the date (the “Repurchase Date”) such repurchase shall occur (which shall be a date not fewer than ten (10) and not more than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice). On the Repurchase Date, Parent shall deliver the Repurchase Price to such Employee Shareholder, by check or wire of immediately available funds, against delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be repurchased and duly endorsed stock powers.

7.11. Financial Statements. The Primary Shareholders shall assist and cooperate with the audit by the Parent’s independent auditor of the Financial Statements and otherwise facilitate the completion of the audit to Parent’s reasonable satisfaction within seventy five (75) days following the Closing Date.

7.12. Shareholder Consent. The Company and the Primary Shareholders shall use their respective best efforts to obtain the Shareholder Approval, whether by written consent or at a meeting duly called for the purpose thereof, in accordance with applicable law.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

12.1. Indemnity Obligations.

(a) Subject to Sections 12.3 and 12.4 hereof, each of the Shareholders by adoption of this Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the Parent, First Acquisition Corp. and Second Acquisition Corp. (including their respective representatives and affiliates) harmless from, and to reimburse the Parent for, any Losses (as that term is hereinafter defined) directly or indirectly arising out of, based upon or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article III of this Agreement or any Schedule or certificate delivered by the Company pursuant hereto; and (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of, or any failure to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or undertakings of the Company and the Shareholders which are contained in this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith including, without limitation, the covenants set forth in Article VIII of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Losses” shall mean any and all losses, damages, deficiencies, liabilities, obligations, actions, claims, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, recoveries, fees, diminution in value, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all out-of-pocket expenses, reasonable investigation expenses and reasonable fees and disbursements of accountants and counsel) of any nature whatsoever.

(b) Subject to Sections 12.3 and 12.4 hereof, each of the Shareholders by adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger hereby severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold the Parent, First Acquisition Corp. and Second Acquisition Corp. (including their respective representatives and affiliates) harmless from, and to reimburse the Parent for, any Losses arising out of, based upon or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any

12.2. Notification of Claims.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3 below, in the event of the occurrence of an event pursuant to which the Parent shall seek indemnity pursuant to Section 12.1, the Parent shall provide the Shareholder Representative and, if such indemnity is sought against a Shareholder pursuant to Section 12.1(b), the Shareholder against whom indemnification is sought, with prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such event and shall otherwise promptly make available to the Shareholder Representative and, if applicable, such Shareholder, all relevant information which is material to the claim and which is in the possession of the indemnified party. Parent’s failure to give a timely Claims Notice or to promptly furnish the Shareholder Representative and, if applicable, such Shareholder, with any relevant data and documents in connection with any Third-Party Claim (as that term is hereinafter defined) shall not constitute a defense (in part or in whole) to any claim for indemnification by such party, except and only to the extent that such failure shall result in any prejudice to the indemnified party.

The Shareholder Representative and, if such indemnity is sought against a Shareholder pursuant to Section 12.1(b), the Shareholder against whom indemnification is sought, shall have the right to elect to join in, through counsel of its choosing reasonably acceptable to Parent, the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claim of any third party (a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification will be sought by the Parent; provided, however, that Parent shall control such defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise. The expense of any such defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise, including Parent’s counsel and any counsel chosen by the Shareholder Representative or, if applicable, such Shareholder, shall be borne by the Shareholders with respect to indemnification sought pursuant to Section 12.1(a) and by the Shareholders against whom indemnification is sought with respect to indemnification sought pursuant to Section 12.1(b); provided, such expenses shall be paid from the Escrow Deposit for indemnification sought pursuant to Section 12.1(a) and from the Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Escrow Deposit attributable to the Shareholders against whom indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 12.1 (b). Parent shall have the right to settle any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that Parent may not effect the settlement, adjustment or compromise of any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Shareholder Representative, or, if applicable, the Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Shareholder Representative, or, if applicable, the Shareholder, has consented in writing to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Shareholders shall have no power or authority to object to the amount of any claim by Parent against the Escrow Deposit for indemnification of Losses with respect to such settlement, adjustment or compromise.

12.3. Duration. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and any Schedules or certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and all covenants, agreements and undertakings of the parties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, the Letters of Transmittal and any Schedules or certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, and the rights of the parties to seek indemnification with respect thereto (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Indemnifiable Matters”), shall survive the Closing but, except in respect of any claims for indemnification as to which a Claim Notice shall have been duly given prior to the Escrow Release Date (as defined below) and also as provided in the immediately following sentence, all Indemnifiable Matters shall expire on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Indemnifiable Matters arising from breaches of the covenants contained in Article VIII shall survive the Closing Date until the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date; (b) Indemnifiable Matters arising from breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.10, 3.14, Article IV and the Letters of Transmittal, shall each survive the Closing Date until the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date; (c) Indemnifiable Matters arising from breaches of the representation and warranties set forth in Section 3.11 shall survive the Closing Date until the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date; and (d) Indemnifiable Matters arising from breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.9 and the covenant contained in Section 7.7 shall each survive the Closing Date until the six (6) year anniversary of the Closing Date (all such obligations in (a), (b) (c) and (d), collectively, the “Excluded Obligations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for breaches of the representations and warranties relating to or arising from fraud shall be independent of, and shall not be limited by, the Agreement and shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely.

12.4. Escrow. The Escrow Deposit shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with an Escrow Agreement. If the Closing occurs, Parent, First Acquisition Corp. and Second Acquisition Corp. agree that the Parent’s, First Acquisition Corp.’s and Second Acquisition Corp.’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Article XII shall constitute Parent’s, First Acquisition Corp.’s and Second Acquisition Corp.’s sole and exclusive remedy and recourse against the Shareholders for Losses attributable to any Indemnifiable Matters. Except with respect to the Excluded Obligations, the maximum liability of any Shareholder shall be limited to such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Escrow Deposit and the maximum liability of any Shareholder for the Excluded Obligations shall be limited to such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Losses up to the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration which such Shareholder is entitled (less any amount previously recovered under this Article XII from such Shareholder’s Pro Rata portion of the Escrow Deposit); provided, however, that no Shareholder shall have any liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(b) on account of any other Shareholder. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Pro Rata Portion” of a Shareholder as to any Losses or as to the Escrow Deposit shall be equal to the percentage of the Merger Consideration to which such Shareholder is entitled as set forth on Schedule 12.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Shareholders shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to this Article XII until the aggregate Losses are in excess of $100,000, at which point the Shareholders shall only be liable for the amount of Losses in excess of such amount.

12.5. No Contribution. The Shareholders hereby waive, acknowledge and agree that the Shareholders shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert),

any right of contribution or right of indemnity against the Parent, First Acquisition Corp. or Second Acquisition Corp. in connection with any indemnification payments which the Shareholders are required to make under this Article XII. Nothing in this Article XII shall limit a Shareholder’s right of contribution or right of indemnity from another Shareholder.

12.6. Registration Rights. The provisions of Section 13.5 hereof and not this Article XII shall govern any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article XIII.

12.7. Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Article XII pertaining to any indemnification obligations shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment shall govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law.

ARTICLE XIII

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

13.1. Registrable Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, “Registrable Shares” shall mean the shares of Parent Common Stock issued as the Equity Consideration and Restricted Equity Consideration.

13.2. Required Registration. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act with respect to the resale of the Registrable Shares (the “Registration Statement”) no later than forty five (45) days following the Closing and shall use reasonable best efforts to effect all such registrations, qualifications and compliances (including, without limitation, obtaining appropriate qualifications under applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and compliance with any other applicable governmental requirements or regulations) as the Shareholders may reasonably request and that would permit or facilitate the sale of Registrable Shares (provided however that Parent shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such state or jurisdiction).

13.3. Effectiveness; Suspension Right.

(a) Parent will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act (including without limitation the filing of any amendments or other documents necessary for such effectiveness) and to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and other applicable registrations, qualifications and compliances until one (1) year from the date such Registration Statement becomes effective plus the period of time, if any, that the Suspension Right (as hereinafter defined) is in effect (collectively, the “Registration Effective Period”), and from time to time will amend or supplement the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein as and to the extent necessary to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any applicable state securities statute or regulation, subject to the following limitations and qualifications.

(b) Following such date as the Registration Statement is first declared effective, the Shareholders will be permitted to offer and sell the Registrable Shares registered therein during the Registration Effective Period in the manner described in the Registration

Statement provided that the Registration Statement remains effective and has not been suspended and provided further that with respect to the Restricted Equity Consideration, only Registrable Shares that shall have “vested” pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof may be offered and sold.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII, Parent shall have the right at any time to require that the Shareholders suspend further open market offers and sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement whenever, and for so long as, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, upon written advice of counsel, there is in existence material undisclosed information or events with respect to Parent and provided that Parent has similarly suspended open market offers and sales of securities of all similarly situated parties under any and all Registration Statements then in effect (the “Suspension Right”). In the event Parent exercises the Suspension Right, such suspension will continue for the period of time reasonably necessary for disclosure to occur at the earliest time that such disclosure would not have a material adverse effect on Parent, as determined in good faith by Parent after consultation with counsel. Parent will promptly give the Shareholders written notice of any such suspension and will use its best efforts to minimize the length of the suspension.

(d) The Parent agrees for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date to:

(a) make and keep current public information about the Parent available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

(b) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Parent under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

(c) furnish to any Shareholder upon request (i) a written statement by the Parent as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Parent, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Parent as such Shareholder may reasonably request to avail itself of any similar rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

13.4. Expenses. The costs and expenses to be borne by Parent for purposes of this Article XIII shall include, without limitation, printing expenses (including a reasonable number of prospectuses for circulation by the Shareholders), legal fees and disbursements of counsel for Parent, “blue sky” expenses, accounting fees and filing fees, but shall not include underwriting commissions or similar charges, legal fees (if any) and disbursements of counsel for the Shareholders.

13.5. Indemnification.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, Parent will indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Shareholders, its officers, directors, shareholders or partners and each person, if any, who controls the Shareholders or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,

against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (B) the omission or alleged omission to state or incorporate by reference therein a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein, or necessary to make the statements included or incorporated by reference therein not misleading, or (C) any violation or alleged violation by Parent of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and Parent will pay to such Shareholders, underwriter or controlling person, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 13.5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld); nor shall Parent be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon (i) a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Shareholders expressly for use in the Registration Statement, or (ii) a Violation that would not have occurred if the Shareholders had delivered to the purchaser the version of the Prospectus most recently provided by Parent to the Shareholders as of a date prior to such sale.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Shareholder will indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, and any controlling person of any such underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as, and only to the extent that, such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation (which includes without limitation the failure of such Shareholder to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act, and the failure of such Shareholder to deliver the most current prospectus provided by Parent prior to the date of such sale), in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Shareholder expressly for use in the Registration Statement or such Violation is caused by such Shareholder’s failure to deliver to the purchaser of such Shareholder’s Registrable Shares a prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) that had been made available to the Shareholders by Parent prior to the date of the sale; and such Shareholder will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.5(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 13.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The aggregate indemnification and contribution liability of such

Shareholder under this Section 13.5(b) shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Shareholder in connection with sale of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c) Each person entitled to indemnification under this Section 13.5 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim and any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party who conducts the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 13.5 unless the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall (except with the consent of each Indemnified Party) consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 13.5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one had and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue of alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

13.6. Procedures for Sale of Shares Under Registration Statement.

(a) Notice and Approval. If a Shareholder shall propose to sell (which may include an intent to sell over a specific period of time) Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, he, she or it shall notify Parent of its intent to do so (including the proposed manner and timing of all sales) at least one (1) full trading day prior to such sale, and the provision of such notice to Parent shall conclusively be deemed to reestablish and reconfirm an agreement by such Shareholder to comply with the registration provisions set forth in this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in such notice, such notice shall be deemed to constitute a representation that any information previously supplied by such Shareholder expressly for

inclusion in the Registration Statement (as the same may have been superseded by subsequent such information) is accurate as of the date of such notice. At any time within such one (1) trading-day period, Parent may refuse to permit such Shareholder to resell any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement; provided, however, that in order to exercise this right, Parent must deliver a certificate in writing to such Shareholder to the effect that a delay in such sale is necessary because a sale pursuant to the Registration Statement in its then-current form without the addition of material, non-public information about Parent, could constitute a violation of the federal securities laws.

(b) Delivery of Prospectus. For any offer or sale of any of the Registrable Shares by a Shareholder in a transaction that is not exempt under the Securities Act, such Shareholder, in addition to complying with any other federal securities laws, shall deliver a copy of the final prospectus (or amendment of or supplement to such prospectus) of Parent covering the Registrable Shares in the form furnished to the Shareholders by Parent to the purchaser of any of the Registrable Shares on or before the settlement date for the purchase of such Registrable Shares.

(c) Copies of Prospectuses. Subject to the provisions of this Section 13.6, when a Shareholder is entitled to sell and gives notice of its intent to sell Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, Parent shall, within two (2) trading days following the request, furnish to such Shareholder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or in amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus shall not as of the date of delivery to such Shareholder include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing.

14.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.8. Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not be used in construing this Agreement or in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

14.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and the Schedules, certificates and other instruments and documents delivered pursuant hereto, together with the other agreements referred to herein and to be entered into pursuant hereto, embody the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of, and there are no other agreements or understandings, written or oral, among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, other than the confidentiality agreement entered into between the Parent and the Company dated as of January 2004, as amended on July 8, 2005 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

The parties hereby agree that this Agreement, and the respective rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law thereunder. Each of the parties hereby (i) irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal or equitable action or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts sitting in Dover, Delaware and any court to which an appeal may be taken in any such litigation, and (ii) by execution and delivery of this Agreement, irrevocably submits to and accepts, with respect to any such action or proceeding, for itself and in respect of its properties and assets, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably waives any and all rights such party may now or hereafter have to object to such jurisdiction.

14.11. Severability.

Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity or subject or otherwise unreasonable so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision or provisions shall be

construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting and reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.

14.12. Specific Performance. In addition to any and all other remedies that may be available at law in the event of any breach of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the agreements and obligations hereunder and to such other injunctive or other equitable relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

14.13. Waiver of Jury Trial.
