If the Merger Consideration shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Series A Per Share Liquidation Preference with respect to each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held, then the Merger Consideration shall be distributed among the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

1.6 Treatment of Stock Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option that is then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested, shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, each such Company Option shall be converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option an amount in cash equal to (a) the excess, if any, of: (i) the Residual Upfront Per Share Value; minus (ii) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option; plus (b) any amounts required to be paid by Parent with respect to such share in accordance with the terms of Section 1.7(c)(vii), as and when such payments are required to be made; plus (c) the excess, if any, of: (i) any disbursements of cash to be made from the Escrow Fund and/or the
- 6 -
value (based on the Escrow Average Closing Price (as defined in the Escrow Agreement)) of any shares of Parent Common Stock to be released from the Escrow Fund, in each case with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option to the former holder thereof in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, as and when such disbursements or releases are required to be made; minus (ii) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option (less the amount of such exercise price, if any, taken into account in determining the amounts under clauses (a) or (b) of this sentence, if any). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company Option Plan or otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding Company Option converted as provided in this Section 1.6 shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration specified in this Section 1.6 without interest.
1.7 Post-Closing Payments.
(a) Value Protection Consideration. On or before March 15, 2011, Parent shall: (i) prepare or cause to be prepared a statement (the Net Product Revenues Statement) setting forth Parents calculation of the Net Product Revenues and any Value Protection Consideration Amount; and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered such Net Product Revenues Statement to the Stockholders Agent for and on behalf of the Eligible Stockholders.
(b) Objections. In the event that the Stockholders Agent objects to Parents calculation of the Net Product Revenues or the Value Protection Consideration Amount set forth in the Net Product Revenues Statement or requires further information in order to perform such calculations or determine such amounts, then within 20 days after the delivery to the Stockholders Agent of the Net Product Revenues Statement (the Initial Response Period), the Stockholders Agent shall deliver to Parent a written notice (an Initial Objection Notice): (i) describing in reasonable detail the Stockholders Agents objections to Parents calculation of the amounts set forth in the Net Product Revenues Statement and containing a statement setting forth the Net Product Revenues or the Value Protection Consideration Amount determined by the Stockholders Agent to be correct; or (ii) requesting additional information from Parent that the Stockholders Agent requires in order to perform such calculations or determine such amounts (which information, to the extent reasonably necessary in order to perform such calculations, shall be provided by Parent within 20 days after Parents receipt of such request). If the Stockholders Agent does not deliver an Initial Objection Notice to Parent during the Initial Response Period, then Parents calculation of the amounts set forth in the Net Product Revenues Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Parent, the Eligible Stockholders and the Stockholders Agent. If the Stockholders Agent delivers an Initial Objection Notice to Parent accompanied by a request for additional information from Parent as described above during the Initial Response Period, then the Stockholders Agent shall have an additional 20 days after receiving from Parent all of the information to be provided by Parent (the Final Response Period) to deliver to Parent a written notice (a Final Objection Notice) describing in reasonable detail the Stockholders Agents objections to Parents calculations of the amounts set forth in the Net Product Revenues Statement and accompanied by a statement setting forth the Net Product Revenues or the Value Protection Consideration Amount determined by the Stockholders Agent to be correct. If the Stockholders Agent has requested additional information during the Initial Response Period and does not deliver a Final Objection Notice to Parent during the Final Response Period, then Parents calculation of the amounts set forth in the Net Product Revenues Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Parent, the Eligible Stockholders and the Stockholders Agent. If the Stockholders Agent delivers an Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice, as the case may be, accompanied by a statement setting forth the Net Product Revenues or the Value Protection Consideration Amount determined by the Stockholders Agent to be correct to Parent during either the Initial Response Period or the Final Response Period in accordance with this Section 1.7(b), and if the Stockholders Agent and Parent are unable to agree upon the calculation of the amounts
- 7 -
set forth in the Net Product Revenues Statement within 20 days after such Initial Objection Notice or Final Objection Notice, as the case may be, is delivered to Parent, the dispute shall be finally settled by a Big Four accounting firm (other then the firm that audits Parents annual financial statements at that time) selected by the Stockholders Agent and mutually acceptable to Parent. The determination by the independent accounting firm of the disputed amounts shall be conclusive and binding on Parent, the Eligible Stockholders and the Stockholders Agent. The costs and expenses of the independent accounting firm shall be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholders Agent (on behalf of the Eligible Stockholders), on the other hand, based upon the proximity of each partys calculation of the Net Product Revenues as compared to the independent accounting firms determination of the Net Product Revenues, with such allocation determined in accordance with the last two sentences of this paragraph. First, the following calculations shall be made: divide: (A) the difference between: (1) the Net Product Revenues as calculated by Parent or the Stockholders Agent, as the case may be; and (2) the Net Product Revenues as calculated by the independent accounting firm ; by (B) the Net Product Revenues as calculated by the independent accounting firm. The proportion of costs and expenses (the Post-Closing Payment Fees) payable by Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholders Agent, on the other hand, shall be determined by dividing: (x) the quotient obtained for Parent or the Stockholders Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence; by (y) the sum of the quotients for both Parent and the Stockholders Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Applicability of Basket. The limitations set forth in Section 4.3(a) shall not apply: (i) in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud; (ii) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of
- 45 -
the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.3, 2.4(d) and 2.5(b); (iii) the matters referred to in Sections 4.2(a)(ii), and 4.2(a)(iii); or (iv) to the matters referred to in Section 4.2(a)(iv) (to the extent related to any of the matters referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) of this sentence).
(c) Recourse to Escrow. Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, recourse by the Indemnitees to the Escrow Amount shall be the Indemnitees sole and exclusive remedy for monetary Damages resulting from the matters referred to in Section 4.2.
4.4 No Contribution. Each Indemnitor waives, and acknowledges and agrees that he shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Merger Sub or the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which he may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered to Parent in connection with this Agreement.
4.5 Defense of Third-Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against Merger Sub, the Company, Parent or any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnitor may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 4, Parent shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholders Agent. If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding:
(a) subject to the other provisions of Section 4, all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnitors;
(b) each Indemnitor shall make available to Parent any documents and materials in his possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding;
(c) Parent shall not settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Stockholders Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and
(d) notwithstanding Section 4.5(c), with respect to any claim or Legal Proceeding relating to Section 4.2(a)(iii), Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights or any customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding in its sole discretion, with or without the consent of the Stockholders Agent; provided that (i) Parent shall consult with the Stockholders Agent with respect to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise; and (ii) if Parent settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Stockholders Agent, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim or Legal Proceeding and no Indemnitor shall be deemed to have agreed that the settlement, adjustment or compromise constitutes Damages for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification (it being understood that: (A) if Parent requests that the Stockholders Agent consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Stockholders Agent shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent; and (B) if Parent pursues a claim against the Indemnitors with respect to any matter for which Parent enters into a settlement, adjustment or compromise without the consent of the Stockholders Agent and such claim is submitted to arbitration under the Escrow Agreement, both the Stockholders Agent and Parent shall be
- 46 -
entitled to provide to the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall take into account, evidence with respect to why the amount of the settlement, adjustment or compromise should not (or should) have a bearing on the amount of Damages to which the Indemnitees are entitled. Such evidence may include, without limitation, evidence with respect to the Stockholders Agents views as to why Parent entered into such settlement, adjustment or compromise (e.g., to avoid a dispute with a major customer of Parent)).
Parent shall give the Stockholders Agent prompt notice of the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding against Parent, Merger Sub or the Company; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Parent to so notify the Stockholders Agent shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitors under Section 4 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding). If Parent does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Stockholders Agent may proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholders Agent may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
4.6 Parent Indemnification Obligations. From and after the Effective Time (but subject to Section 4.1), Parent shall hold harmless and indemnify the Eligible Stockholders from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of such Eligible Stockholders for, any Damages which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of the Eligible Stockholders or to which any of the Eligible Stockholders may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly from or as a direct or indirect result of:
(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.8 (without giving effect to any materiality or similar qualification limiting the scope of such representation or warranty);
(ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement;
(iii) any Legal Proceeding relating to any breach or alleged breach or any other matter of the type referred to in clause (i), or (ii) above (including any Legal Proceeding commenced by any Eligible Stockholder for the purpose of enforcing any of his, her or its rights under this Section 4).
(b) Limitations on Damages. Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the total amount of indemnification payments that Parent can be required to make to the Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall be limited to $7 million dollars.

Any such successor shall succeed the Stockholders Agent as Stockholders Agent hereunder. If for any reason there is no Stockholders Agent at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Eligible Stockholders.
5.2 Employee Benefit Matters.
(a) 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Company Employees shall no longer make contributions or receive matching contributions to any Company Employee Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (the 401(k) Plans), and the Company shall have taken all such action prior to the Closing Date as may be reasonably required to achieve this result. Each Company Employee shall, as of the Closing Date, become fully vested in his or her account balance under the 401(k) Plans. The Company shall request the trustees for each the 401(k) Plans, to take whatever actions are reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect a trust-to-trust transfer of the accounts of Company Employees in the 401(k) Plans into a plan designated by the Parent to accept the transferred accounts, and the Parent shall take whatever actions are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order for such plan to accept the transferred accounts, and shall provide a certification that the plan to which the assets are being transferred is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.
(b) Service Credit. Parent shall: (i) credit the employees of the Company who become employees of Parent as of the Closing or remain employees of the Company (Continuing Employees) for their past service with the Company for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual purposes, including matching contributions for periods prior to actual participation) under
- 48 -

(b) Third Party Beneficiaries. Director Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.3 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.3. The provisions of this Section 5.3 are intended to be for the benefit of and enforceable by each Director Indemnitee and his or her successors, heirs or representatives.

(d) Merger or Consolidation. In the event the Company or its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, then proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company, or at Parents option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that while Parent currently believes that it is in its best interest that it and the Company use commercially reasonable efforts to generate Net Product Revenues, it is understood and agreed that neither Parent nor the Company has any obligation to use any specified efforts to generate Net Product Revenues (or to sell or license Specified Company Products or enter into or renew related contracts); provided, however, that Parent will: (a) not alter or terminate the performance based compensation arrangements implemented in
- 49 -
connection with the Merger and (b) offer commissions to those employees responsible for selling Specified Company Products in such amounts and at such percentages, as applicable, as are similar to those offered to other employees of Parent selling similar products; provided further that Parent may in its good faith judgment discontinue the sale or license of any Specified Company Product and the entering into or renewal of related contracts.

(c) Indemnification Claims. Any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 4 shall be brought and resolved exclusively in accordance with the
- 51 -
Escrow Agreement (it being understood that nothing in this Section 5.10(c) shall prevent Parent from seeking preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction).

The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement, for the benefit of any other party to this Agreement: (a) such other party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to: (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision; and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; and (b) such other party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or Legal Proceeding.
5.13 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

5.16 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Company Employee shall have any rights or remedies under any of the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 5.2).
