AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 23, 2007 by and among PDF Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror”), Fabbrix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Target”), and PDF Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Merger Sub”).

RECITALS

A. The Boards of Directors of Target, Acquiror and Merger Sub believe it is in the best interests of their respective companies and the stockholders of their respective companies that Target and Merger Sub combine into a single company through the merger of Target with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”) and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, the outstanding shares of capital stock of Target shall be converted into the right to receive cash and shares of common stock of Acquiror (“Acquiror Common Stock”) as set forth herein.

B. Target, Acquiror and Merger Sub desire to make certain representations and warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Merger.

C. The parties intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to cause the Merger together to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Code, although such qualification is not a condition to the closing of the Merger.

AGREEMENT

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

SECTION I. The Merger.

1.01. The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined below) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”), Target shall be merged with and into Merger Sub, the separate corporate existence of Target shall cease and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger. Merger Sub as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.02. Closing; Effective Time. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable, and in no event later than five (5) business days after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in SECTION VI below or at such other time as the parties agree (the “Closing Date”). In connection with the Closing,

the parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger, together with the required officers’ certificates, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the time of such filing being the “Effective Time”). The Closing shall take place at the offices of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, 1000 Marsh Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, or at such other location as the parties agree.

1.03. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Target and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.04. Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law and such Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

1.05. Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

1.06. Effect on Capital Stock. By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Target or any of their respective stockholders, the following shall occur at the Effective Time:

(a) Conversion of Target Capital Stock. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of Target (“Target Common Stock”) and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of Target (“Target Preferred Stock” and together with the Target Common Stock, “Target Capital Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.06(b) and Dissenting Shares, if any) shall be canceled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares of Target Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.07, that portion of the Merger Consideration, without interest, as follows: each such share of

Target Common Stock shall receive (x) an amount of cash equal to the Per Share Initial Cash Consideration, and (y) a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the Per Share Initial Stock Consideration, and (z) such amount in cash and such number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the Earn-Out Consideration to be paid per share, if any, pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, and each such share of Target Preferred Stock shall receive (xx) an amount of cash equal to the Per Preferred Share Initial Cash Consideration, and (yy) a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the Per Preferred Share Initial Stock Consideration, and (zz) such amount in cash and such number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the Earn-Out Consideration to be paid per share, if any, pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof.

(i) Definitions.

As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Aggregate Preferred Liquidation Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (i) $499,999.85 and (ii) the product of (X) the Per Preferred Share Liquidation Preference Amount and (Y) the aggregate number of shares of Target Preferred Stock exercisable under the outstanding Target Warrants which are exercised in connection with the Closing of the Merger.

“Merger Consideration” shall mean the Initial Cash Consideration together with the Initial Stock Consideration and the Earn-Out Consideration.

“Initial Cash Consideration” shall mean an aggregate of $3,000,000.

“Initial Stock Consideration” shall mean 300,000 shares of Acquiror Common Stock.

“Per Common Share Initial Cash Consideration” shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing (x) an amount equal to the Initial Cash Consideration, less 50% of the Aggregate Preferred Liquidation Amount by (y) the Total Target Shares, rounded to the nearest cent.

“Per Preferred Share Initial Cash Consideration” shall mean the sum of (x) 50% of the Per Preferred Share Liquidation Preference Amount and (y) the Per Common Share Initial Cash Consideration.

“Per Preferred Share Initial Stock Consideration” shall mean the sum of (x) the number of shares, based upon the Closing Shares Average Price (as defined below) whose value is equal to 50% of the Per Preferred Share Liquidation Preference Amount and (y) the Per Share Initial Stock Consideration.

“Per Preferred Share Liquidation Preference Amount” shall mean $0.35.

“Per Share Initial Stock Consideration” shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Initial Stock Consideration, less the number of shares, based upon the

Closing Shares Average Price (as defined below) whose value is equal to 50% of the Per Preferred Share Liquidation Preference Amount, by (y) the Total Target Shares.

“Total Target Shares” shall mean the aggregate number of shares of Target Common Stock plus the maximum aggregate number of shares of Target Common Stock issuable upon full exercise, exchange or conversion of all Target Preferred Stock, Target Options, Target Warrants and any other rights whether vested or unvested convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for, shares of Target Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Total Target Shares shall not include any shares of Target Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise of Target Options or Target Warrants that expire or are canceled concurrently with or immediately prior to the Effective Time to the extent not exercised.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Cash Consideration and Initial Stock Consideration payable to each stockholder of Target with respect to the Target Capital Stock shall be reduced (i) by the amount of Target’s fees and expenses in connection with the Merger, (ii) by the amount of Estimated Total Liabilities (as defined below) in excess of $400,000 and (iii) pursuant to the escrow provisions of SECTION VIII, with such reduction split equally between the Initial Cash Consideration and the Initial Stock Consideration (the value of the stock portion of the reduction being calculated using the Closing Shares Average Price, as defined below). The Earn-Out Consideration (as defined below) payable to each stockholder of Target with respect to the Target Capital Stock shall initially be retained by Acquiror and subject to potential forfeiture as set forth in Section 1.12.

All shares of Target Capital Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Target Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.07, without interest.

(ii) Initial Cash Consideration Adjustment. Not less than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Target shall prepare an estimated balance sheet with respect to Target, consistent with Target’s past practices, other than as mutually agreed upon between Target and Acquiror and except as set forth below, as of the Closing Date in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit B (the “Estimated Balance Sheet”). Within sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date, Acquiror shall prepare and deliver to the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative a balance sheet with respect to Target as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall represent fairly the business of Target and be prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting principles used to prepare the Estimated Balance Sheet as set forth on Exhibit B. If Target’s Total Liabilities (as defined below) shown on the Closing Balance Sheet, (the “Actual Total Liabilities”) exceed the Total Liabilities amount shown on the Estimated Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Total Liabilities”), and provided such Estimated Total Liabilities exceed $400,000, holders of Target’s Capital Stock shall forfeit to Acquiror, on a pro rata basis

and pursuant to the escrow provisions of SECTION VIII, an aggregate amount in cash equal to the amount by which the Actual Total Liabilities exceed Estimated Total Liabilities (the “Initial Consideration Adjustment Amount”). To the extent that the Actual Total Liabilities are less than the Estimated Total Liabilities, and provided such Estimated Total Liabilities exceed $400,000, Acquiror shall pay such additional cash amount to the holders of Target’s Capital Stock, on a pro-rata basis consistent with Section 1.06(a)(i). To the extent that amounts held in the Escrow Fund (as defined below) fall short of the Initial Consideration Adjustment Amount, any such amount of shortfall shall be offset, on a pro-rata basis consistent with Section 1.06(a)(i), against any Earn-Out Consideration pursuant to Section 1.12. As used herein, “Total Liabilities” means total liabilities (including license and lease obligations), net of the amount of Target’s fees and expenses in connection with the Merger and offset by the value of (i) cash and (ii) valid but undeposited checks, each held by Target pursuant to the exercise, contingent upon the Closing, of Target Options by Target’s employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a portion of the Initial Consideration Adjustment Amount shall be payable in Acquiror Common Stock (the value of the stock portion of such payment being calculated using the Closing Shares Average Price, as defined below) if an all-cash payment of the Initial Consideration Adjustment Amount would result in the Initial Stock Consideration comprising an amount less than 40% of the combined value of the (X) Initial Cash Consideration and (Y) the Initial Stock Consideration.

(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative does not agree with Acquiror’s calculation of the Closing Balance Sheet (a “Disputed Liabilities Amount”), the parties shall work together in good faith to resolve the Disputed Liabilities Amount. However, if the Disputed Liabilities Amount is not able to be resolved between Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative within fifteen (15) days, Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative will appoint an independent accountant reasonably acceptable to both parties to review the calculation of the Closing Balance Sheet and determine the appropriate amount of Actual Total Liabilities and, in the event that Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to agree on an independent accountant, the issue of selection shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures for dispute resolution contained in the Escrow Agreement (in either case such accountant so selected shall be the “Balance Sheet Accountant”). Each of the Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative will submit their position as to the Disputed Liabilities Amount. The Balance Sheet Accountant shall determine the Disputed Liabilities Amount within thirty (30) days after the date of its engagement. Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative, as applicable, shall provide to the Balance Sheet Accountant all information requested by the Balance Sheet Accountant that is reasonably required to determine the Disputed Liabilities Amount within three (3) business days after the date of such request by the Balance Sheet Accountant. The costs of the Balance Sheet Accountant shall be borne by either the Acquiror or the recipients of Merger Consideration, who shall individually be responsible for that portion of such costs equal to such recipient’s pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration, with the party whose position with respect to the Disputed Liabilities Amount was further from the position of the Balance Sheet Accountant bearing the cost of the Balance Sheet Accountant. The Stockholders’ Representative shall be responsible for collecting funds from each such recipient to pay such costs. The determination of any Disputed Liabilities Amount made

by the Accountant in accordance with this Agreement shall, in the absence of fraud, collusion or any form of corruption, be conclusive, and, except as set forth in Section 1.06(a)(ii) hereof, Acquiror, the Stockholders’ Representative and Balance Sheet Accountant, shall each be free from any and all liability resulting from such determination.

(b) Cancellation of Target Capital Stock Owned by Acquiror or Target. At the Effective Time, all shares of Target Capital Stock that are owned by Target as treasury stock, each share of Target Capital Stock owned by Acquiror or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(i) Target Options. At the Effective Time, and without further action on the part of the parties hereto: (A) no outstanding Target Option shall be assumed by Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation; and (B) all outstanding Target Options shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the Target Stock Option Plans.

(ii) Target Warrants. At the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of Target Capital Stock (a “Target Warrant”), if any, not otherwise terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of such Target Warrant will by virtue of the Merger, and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be terminated.

(d) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(e) Adjustments. All share numbers herein shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Acquiror Common Stock or Target Capital Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Acquiror Common Stock or Target Capital Stock, as appropriate, occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Dissenting Shares. Any shares of Target Capital Stock held by a holder who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights for such shares under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Sections 1300 et. seq. of the California General Corporation Law, as applicable (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to

applicable law. Target agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, or as required under applicable law, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such purchase demand. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of applicable law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for shares of Target Capital Stock shall receive payment therefor (but only after such value shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, Acquiror shall issue and deliver, upon surrender by such holder of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Target Capital Stock, the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled under this Section 1.06.

(g) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Target Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall receive from Acquiror an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Closing Shares Average Price. The “Closing Shares Average Price” shall mean the average closing price per share, rounded to the fourth decimal place, of Acquiror’s Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the Closing Date.

1.07. Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Procedures. As soon as commercially practicable but in any event within two (2) business days after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Target Capital Stock, whose shares are to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.06, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon receipt of the Certificates by the Acquiror, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Acquiror or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Acquiror, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration less the Earn-Out Consideration and the cash and stock to be deposited in the Escrow Fund on such holder’s behalf pursuant to SECTION VIII below, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Certificate will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) Dissenting Shares. The provisions of this Section 1.07 shall also apply to Dissenting Shares that lose their status as such, except that the obligations of Acquiror under this Section 1.07 shall commence on the date of loss of such status and

the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such shares the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.06, less the Earn-Out Consideration and the cash and stock to be deposited in the Escrow Fund on such holder’s behalf pursuant to SECTION VIII.

(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Acquiror Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time payable (but for the provisions of this Section 1.07(c)) with respect to such shares of Acquiror Common Stock.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Acquiror Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of such issuance that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Acquiror Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the reasonable satisfaction of Acquiror or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

1.08. No Further Ownership Rights in Target Capital Stock. The Merger Consideration shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to shares of Target Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Target Capital Stock that 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 cancelled and exchanged as provided in this SECTION I.

1.09. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Target and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

1.10. Withholding. Each of the Acquiror 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 Target Capital

Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.11. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Acquiror shall issue and pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such Merger Consideration as may be required pursuant to Section 1.06; provided, however, that Acquiror may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to such issuance and payment, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as Acquiror may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.12. Earn-Out Consideration.

(a) Earn-Out Consideration. In addition to the Initial Consideration set forth in Section 1.06, Acquiror shall, if earned in accordance with the following terms, pay and deliver to the holders of Target Capital Stock as of the Effective Time, additional consideration as set forth in this Section 1.12 (the “Earn-Out Consideration”).

(b) Calculation of Earn-Out Consideration. As used herein, Earn-Out Consideration shall be derived as follows:

(i) If Qualifying Revenue (as defined below) is less than $2,000,000, then the Earn-Out Consideration shall be equal to $0.00.

(ii) If Qualifying Revenue is greater than $2,000,000, but less than $6,000,000, then the Earn-Out Consideration shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) 1.5 and (B) the amount by which Qualifying Revenue exceeds $2,000,000.

(iii) If Qualifying Revenue is greater than or equal to $6,000,000, but less than $10,000,000, then the Earn-Out Consideration shall be an amount equal to the sum of (A) $6,000,000 and (B) the product of (x) 2 and (y) the amount by which Qualifying Revenue exceeds $6,000,000.

(iv) If Qualifying Revenue is greater than or equal to $10,000,000, then the Earn-Out Consideration shall be equal to $14,000,000.

(v) Earn-Out Consideration pursuant to subsections (ii), (iii) and (iv) immediately above shall consist of a combination of (A) fifty percent (50%) of such amount as a cash payment and (B) fifty percent (50%) of such amount as shares of Acquiror’s Common Stock (as calculated below, and such consideration payable pursuant to subsection (B) hereof, the “Earn-Out Stock Consideration Amount”). The aggregate number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued to the holders of Target Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 1.12(a) shall be equal to the quotient (rounded to

the nearest whole number) resulting by dividing (X) the Earn-Out Stock Consideration Amount by (Y) the Closing Shares Average Price.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (X) the Earn-Out Consideration shall not exceed $14,000,000, and (Y) in the event the aggregate deemed value of the shares of Acquiror’s Common Stock calculated as of the date of delivery for each share of Acquiror’s Common Stock (the “Prior Value of Delivered Acquiror Common Stock”) and including those shares of Acquiror’s Common Stock that are deliverable under clause (v) on any particular date when a distribution of Acquiror Common Stock is to be made is less than forty percent (40%) of the aggregate deemed value of the Earn-Out Consideration deliverable on such date (as determined pursuant to this clause (vi)), then additional shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall be delivered and a correspondingly reduced amount of cash shall be delivered so that the Acquiror Common Stock constitutes forty percent (40%) of the aggregate Prior Value of Delivered Acquiror Common Stock value delivered. For this purpose, the deemed value of the Acquiror Common Stock on a delivery date shall be (A) the number of shares of such Acquiror Common Stock, multiplied by (B) the average closing price per share, rounded to the fourth decimal place, of Acquiror’s Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market for the three (3) trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the delivery date.

(i) Definition. As used herein, “Qualifying Revenue” shall mean revenues recognized by Acquiror or Surviving Corporation with respect to license fees, fixed fee arrangements, or royalty payments during the forty-eight (48) month period following the Closing, with respect to contracts, purchase orders, licenses or other written agreements, which are documented in accordance with the Acquiror’s forms of agreement, entered into by the Surviving Corporation or Acquiror (making use of the Intellectual Property (as defined herein) of Target) during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”).

(ii) Bundled Revenue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Qualifying Revenue cannot be easily distinguished from the revenues recognized from other products and services of the Acquiror, Qualifying Revenue will be determined in accordance with the following procedures, subject to the judgment of Acquiror’s management and mutual agreement by authorized parties representing the Target and the Acquiror:

(A) If an assigned value can be mutually agreed upon for Target’s products and services, then those values will be used for the purposes of calculating Qualifying Revenue hereunder;

(B) If an estimated average selling price is mutually agreed for all products and services within the product offering containing both products of the Target and the Acquiror, then revenues will be apportioned separately on a pro-rata basis;

(C) If all elements attributable to the Acquiror within the offering containing both products of the Target and the Acquiror can be assigned an estimated average selling price, then the Qualifying Revenue will be the remainder of the revenues applied separately to the fixed fees and royalties.

(D) Best efforts will be made to come to such mutual agreement prior to accepting an order for products and/or services. In the event that the Target and Acquiror cannot come to mutual agreement within 90 days of the first anniversary of the Closing Date, then Target and Acquiror shall resolve such dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.12(e).

(d) Payment Dates. The Earn-Out Consideration will be payable to each holder of Target Capital Stock, as of the Effective Time, on a pro rata basis consistent with Section 1.12(b)(v) and (vi) and upon the later of revenue recognition or payment receipts of the Qualifying Revenue pursuant to the methodology in Section 1.12(c), but in no event shall the Earn-Out Consideration be payable with respect to revenue recognized or payments received more than forty-eight (48) months following the Effective Time. The Earn-Out Consideration shall be calculated as of the end of each applicable calendar quarter following the Closing Date, and shall be payable (X) as of the end of each applicable calendar quarter following the Closing Date with respect to the cash portion of the Earn-Out Consideration and (Y) as of the end of each applicable calendar year following the Closing Date with respect to the Earn-Out Stock Consideration Amount; and any amounts of Earn-Out Consideration that are then accrued but unpaid as of such year end or quarter end, as applicable, shall be paid within 30 days thereafter.

(e) Dispute Resolution. As soon as practicable following the calculation of the quarterly Earn-Out Consideration, Acquiror shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative (as defined below), a report summarizing in reasonable detail the Qualifying Revenue for the period and setting forth the Earn-Out Consideration earned, if any. Acquiror shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative and any consultants or advisors of the Stockholders’ Representative who are assisting the Stockholders’ Representative, with access to the records of Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation for the purpose analyzing the Acquiror’s calculation of the Earn-Out Consideration. The Stockholders’ Representative shall confirm to Acquiror in writing within ten (10) days of receiving the report, its agreement or disagreement with the report. If the Stockholders’ Representative agrees with Acquiror’s calculation, within ten (10) days of such confirmation, Acquiror shall make a distribution of such Earn-Out Consideration to the former holders of Target Capital Stock on a pro-rata basis, consistent with Section 1.06 above. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative does not agree with Acquiror’s calculation (a “Disputed Amount”), the parties shall work together in good faith to resolve the Disputed Amount. However, if the Disputed Amount is not able to be resolved between Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative within fifteen (15) days, Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative will appoint an independent accountant reasonably acceptable to both parties to review the calculation of Earn-Out Consideration and determine the appropriate amount of Qualifying Revenue and, in the event that Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to agree on an

independent accountant, the issue of selection shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures for dispute resolution contained in the Escrow Agreement (in either case such accountant so selected shall be the “Accountant”). The Accountant shall determine the Disputed Amount within thirty (30) days after the date of its engagement. Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative, as applicable, shall provide to the Accountant all information requested by the Accountant that is reasonably required to determine the Disputed Amount within three (3) business days after the date of such request by the Accountant. The costs of the Accountant shall be borne by either the Acquiror or the recipients of Earn-Out Consideration, who shall individually be responsible for that portion of such costs equal to such recipient’s pro rata portion of the total Earn-Out Consideration earned, with the party whose position with respect to the Disputed Amount was further from the position of the Accountant bearing the cost of the Accountant. The Stockholders’ Representative shall be responsible for collecting funds from each such recipient to pay such costs. The determination of any Disputed Amount made by the Accountant in accordance with this Agreement shall, in the absence of fraud, collusion or any form of corruption, be conclusive, and Acquiror, the Stockholders’ Representative and Accountant, shall each be free from any and all liability resulting from such determination. Within ten (10) days of such determination of the Disputed Amount made by the Accountant in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Acquiror shall make a distribution of such Earn-Out Consideration to the former holders of Target Capital Stock as described below.

(f) Allocation of Earn-Out Consideration. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.07 hereof, the Acquiror shall then distribute promptly to each former holder of Target Capital Stock an amount of the aggregate Earn-Out Consideration proportional to the amount of the Merger Consideration that such person became entitled to receive at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.06(a)(i) hereof.

(g) Registration of Shares. The shares of Acquiror Common stock that comprise the Earn-Out Consideration shall be covered by the Registration Statement as set forth in Section 5.14.

1.13. Tax Consequences. The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” as described in Section 368 of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the regulations promulgated under Section 368 of the Code and neither the Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation, nor any other party to this Agreement shall take a position on any Returns (as defined below) or other statement or report to any government or taxing authority inconsistent with such intention unless required to do so by applicable tax law; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) such tax treatment shall not be a condition to either party’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated herein; (ii) each party is relying solely on its own tax advisors in connection with this Agreement and the Merger contemplated hereby; and (iii) neither Acquiror nor Merger Sub makes any representation or warranty with respect to any tax consequences of the Merger to Target or the Target Shareholders under this Agreement, nor does Target make any representation or warranty with respect to any tax consequences of the Merger to Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION II. Representations and Warranties of Target.

In this Agreement, any reference to a “Material Adverse Effect” with respect to any entity or group of entities means any event, change or effect that is materially adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities, business, operations or results of operations of such entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or will prevent or materially delay consummation of the Merger or otherwise will prevent such entity and its subsidiaries from performing their obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Material Adverse Effect shall not include any event, change or effect resulting from, arising out of or related to (x) changes generally affecting any industry in which the Target participates or from generally prevailing conditions in the United States or global economies, provided, that such conditions do not have a materially disproportionate effect or impact on Target, (y) the loss, diminution or disruption of any current or perspective customer, distributor, supplier or employee arising from, or reasonably attributable to, the announcement or pendency of the Merger, and (z) any adverse event, change or effect resulting from Target’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, actions taken at the request or with the consent of Acquiror or from the actions of Acquiror.

In this Agreement, any reference to a party’s “knowledge” means such party’s actual knowledge of such party’s officers and directors.

Except as disclosed in a document dated as of the date of this Agreement and delivered by Target to Acquiror prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Target Disclosure Schedule”), the Target hereby represents and warrants to Acquiror and Merger Sub as follows:

2.01. Organization; Subsidiaries. Target is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Target has the requisite corporate power and authority and all necessary government approvals to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to have such power, authority and governmental approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Target. Target is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Target. Except as set forth in Section 2.01 of the Target Disclosure Schedule, Target does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other business association or entity.

2.02. Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Target has delivered a true and correct copy of its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date,

to Acquiror. Target is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.

2.03. Capital Structure.

(a) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of Target consists of 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 2,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding, and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 2,000,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred, of which 1,428,571 shares are issued and outstanding. The Target Preferred Stock is convertible on the basis of one share of Target Preferred Stock for each share of Target Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the capitalization of Target is as set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Target Disclosure Schedule. The Target Capital Stock is held by the persons and in the amounts set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Target Disclosure Schedule, which further sets forth for each such person the number of shares held, class and/or series of such shares and the number of the applicable stock certificates representing such shares. All outstanding shares of Target Capital Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to preemptive rights created by statute, Target’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any agreement to which Target is a party or by which it is bound. All outstanding shares of Target Common Stock, Target Preferred Stock, Target Options and Target Warrants have been issued or repurchased (in the case of shares that were outstanding and repurchased by Target or any stockholder of Target) in compliance with all applicable federal, state, foreign, or local statutes, laws, rules, or regulations, including federal and state securities laws, and were issued, transferred and repurchased (in the case of shares that were outstanding and repurchased by Target or any stockholder of Target) in accordance with any right of first refusal or similar right or limitation known to Target, including those in Target’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. There are no outstanding shares of Target Capital Stock that constitute unvested restricted stock or that are otherwise subject to a repurchase or redemption right. There are no declared or accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to any shares of Target Capital Stock. Target has no other capital stock authorized, issued or outstanding.

(b) Except for Target’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Target Stock Plans”) Target has never adopted, sponsored or maintained any stock option plan or any other plan or agreement providing for equity compensation to any person. As of the date hereof, Target has reserved 8,000,000 shares of Target Common Stock for issuance to employees and directors of, and consultants to, Target upon the issuance of stock or the exercise of options granted under the Target Stock Plans, of which (i) 2,270,000 shares are issuable, as of the date hereof, upon the exercise of outstanding, unexercised options granted under the Target Stock Plans, of which 1,445,625 shares remain unvested as of the date hereof, (ii) no shares have been issued upon the exercise of options granted under the Target Stock Plans and remain outstanding as of the date hereof, (iii) no shares have been issued in the form of restricted stock granted under the Target Stock Plans, and (iv) 5,737,500 shares remain available for future grant. Section 2.03(b) of the Target Disclosure Schedule sets forth as of the date hereof for each outstanding Target Option and Target Warrant, the name of the holder of such option or warrant, the number of shares of Target Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such option or warrant, the

exercise price of such option or warrant, the date of grant of such option or warrant, the vesting schedule for such option or warrant, including the extent vested to date and whether the vesting of such option or warrant is subject to acceleration as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other events (including a complete description of any such acceleration provisions), whether such option is a nonstatutory option or intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code and whether such option is considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code. True and complete copies of all agreements and instruments relating to or issued under the Target Stock Plans have been provided to Acquiror and such agreements and instruments have not been amended, modified or supplemented, and there are no agreements to amend, modify or supplement such agreements or instruments from the forms thereof provided to Acquiror.

(c) As of the date hereof, no shares of Target Common Stock are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Target Options that have not been issued under the Target Stock Plans. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of 293,044 shares of Target Preferred Stock are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Target Warrants. Except for the Target Options and Target Warrants, there are no options, warrants, calls, rights, convertible securities, commitments or agreements of any character, written or oral, to which Target is a party or by which Target is bound obligating Target to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or redeemed, any shares of the capital stock of Target or obligating Target to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of, change the price of, otherwise amend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement. There are no outstanding or authorized stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit participation, or other similar rights with respect to Target. Except as contemplated hereby, there are no voting trusts, proxies, or other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting stock of Target. There are no agreements to which Target is a party relating to the registration, sale or transfer (including agreements relating to rights of first refusal, co-sale rights or “drag-along” rights) of any Target Capital Stock. As a result of the Merger, Acquiror will be the sole record and beneficial holder of all issued and outstanding Target Capital Stock and all rights to acquire or receive any shares of Target Capital Stock, whether or not such shares of Target Capital Stock are outstanding.

2.04. Authority. Target has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Target, subject only to the approval of the Merger by Target’s stockholders as contemplated by Section 6.01(a). Target’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Merger and this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Target and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Acquiror and Merger Sub, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Target enforceable against Target in accordance with its terms.

2.05. No Conflicts; Required Filings and Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Target does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under (i) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Target, as amended, or (ii) any material mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Target or any Subsidiary or any of their properties or assets.

To its knowledge, Target is not in violation, in any material respect, of any license, sublicense or agreement described in Section 2.13(b) of the Target Disclosure Schedule. Except as set forth on Section 2.13(b) of the Target Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Target and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will neither cause Target to be in violation or default under any such license, sublicense or agreement, nor entitle any other party to any such license, sublicense or agreement to terminate or modify such license, sublicense or agreement. Except as set forth in Section 2.13(b) of the Target Disclosure Schedule, Target is the sole and exclusive owner or a licensee of, with all right, title and interest in and to (free and clear of any liens), the Target Owned Intellectual Property, and has sole and exclusive rights (and is not contractually obligated to pay any compensation to any third party in respect thereof) to the use thereof or the material covered thereby in connection with the services or products in respect of which Target Owned Intellectual Property is being used. Target has paid all maintenance fees, taxes and/or annuities for all issued patents and all pending patent applications. Except as set forth in Section 2.13(b) of the Target Disclosure Schedule, there have been no settlement agreements, consent decrees or judgments relating to the Intellectual Property.

(or such other institution approved by Acquiror and Target) as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), such deposit to constitute the Escrow Fund and to be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”). In the event that any Damages (as defined below) arise, the Escrow Fund shall be available as sole and exclusive (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.03(b)) recourse to compensate the Indemnified Persons (defined below) pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the stockholders of the Target pursuant to Section 8.03(b) and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement.

8.03. Indemnification by Target.

(a) Indemnified Damages. Subject to the limitations set forth in this SECTION VIII, from and after the Effective Time, the former stockholders of Target shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, managers, members, employees, representatives and agents (Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation, and each of the foregoing persons or entities is hereinafter referred to individually as an “Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all actual losses, amounts paid in settlement, costs, damages, liabilities, fees (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, the “Damages”), that any of the Indemnified Persons incurs by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation, breach of, or default in connection with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Target contained in this Agreement or any closing certificates furnished by Target pursuant to Section 6.03(b) of this Agreement or the Target Disclosure Schedule attached hereto, and the Certificate of Merger, which becomes known to the Indemnified Person during the Escrow Period (or, in the case of breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.15, until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations relating to the subject Taxes) and for which the Indemnified Person delivers a timely written notice pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Damages in each case shall be net of the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnity and contribution actually recovered by the Indemnified Person and shall also be net of any tax benefits realized by the Indemnified Person with respect to the Damages (reduced by any tax cost to the Indemnified Person as a result of the indemnity payments). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the recovery of

Damages by any Indemnified Person shall be subject to the objection of the Stockholders’ Representative (as defined below) and the subsequent arbitration of the claim in the manner provided in the Escrow Agreement, and no recovery or payment of such Damages shall be made other than in accordance therewith.

(b) Exclusive Remedy and Limitations. Resort to the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Persons for any Damages if the Merger closes; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply with respect to claims relating to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.03, 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15; provided, that to the extent Damages in connection with the previous clause exceed the amounts held in the Escrow Fund, any such amount of excess shall be offset against any Earn-Out Consideration pursuant to Section 1.12. Liability of the Target shareholders shall be several and the maximum liability of any former holder of the Target Capital Stock for any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Target shall be limited to the Escrow Property in which such holder has an interest that are held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and, as applicable, the Earn-Out Consideration the holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the liability of any officer, director or stockholder of the Target for such person’s or entity’s fraud committed in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the performance by the parties hereunder.

8.04. Damages Threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror may not receive any of the Escrow Property from the Escrow Fund unless and until a certificate signed by an officer of Acquiror (an “Officer’s Certificate”) identifying Damages in the aggregate amount in excess of $100,000 has been delivered to the Escrow Agent and such amount is determined pursuant to this SECTION VIII to be payable, in which case Acquiror shall be entitled to receive Damages in such amount out of the Escrow Fund.

8.05. Escrow Period. The Escrow Fund shall remain in existence until the Escrow Termination Date. Any indemnification payment relating to bona fide claims asserted by Acquiror prior to the Escrow Termination Date will be deducted from the portion of the Escrow Fund to be released on the Escrow Termination Date, and to the extent that such amount is insufficient to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for such claims, the entire Escrow Fund shall be available to satisfy them. On the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Fund shall terminate with respect to all Escrow Property; provided, however, that the amount of Escrow Cash and number of Escrow Shares, which, in the reasonable judgment of Acquiror, subject to the objection of the Stockholders’ Representative and the subsequent arbitration of the claim in the manner provided in the Escrow Agreement, are necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Escrow Termination Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing on or prior to the Escrow Termination Date shall remain in the Escrow Fund (and the Escrow Fund shall remain in existence) until such claims have been resolved. As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the stockholders of Target all Escrow Property and other property remaining in the Escrow Fund and not required to satisfy such claims. Deliveries of Escrow Property to the former stockholders of Target

pursuant to this Section 8.05 and the Escrow Agreement shall be made in proportion to their respective original contributions to the Escrow Fund.

8.06. Distributions; Voting.

(a) Any cash or shares of Acquiror Common Stock or other equity securities issued or distributed by Acquiror (including shares issued upon a stock split) (“New Property”) in respect of the Escrow Shares that have not been released from the Escrow Fund shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof (other than any cash dividends paid by Acquiror, which shall be distributed to the stockholders of Target).

(b) Each stockholder of Target shall have voting rights with respect to that number of Escrow Shares contributed to the Escrow Fund on behalf of such stockholder (and on any voting securities added to the Escrow Fund in respect of such Escrow Shares) so long as such Escrow Shares or other voting securities are held in the Escrow Fund. As the record holder of such shares, the Escrow Agent shall vote such shares in accordance with the instructions of the stockholders of Target having the beneficial interest therein and shall promptly deliver copies of all proxy solicitation materials to such stockholders. Acquiror shall show the Acquiror Common Stock contributed to the Escrow Fund as issued and outstanding on its balance sheet.

8.07. Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation or any other Indemnified Person pursuant to this SECTION VIII shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to receive the amount of any Damages fifty percent (50%) out of the Escrow Cash and fifty percent (50%) out of the Escrow Shares. For purposes of determining the value of the Escrow Shares to be used to reimburse any claim for Damages, the Escrow Shares shall be valued at the Closing Shares Average Price.

8.08. Representative of the Stockholders; Power of Attorney. In the event that the Merger is approved by the requisite stockholders, effective upon such vote, Guido Lanza shall be appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) for each stockholder of Target (except such stockholders, if any, as shall have perfected their appraisal rights under applicable law), for and on behalf of stockholders of Target, to give and receive notices and communications on behalf of Target stockholders, to enter into and perform the Escrow Agreement, to authorize delivery to Acquiror of Escrow Property or other property from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by Acquiror or any other Indemnified Person, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable or responsible for any act he may do or omit to do hereunder so long as the Stockholders’ Representative shall exercise reasonable care and good faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

Stockholders’ Representative shall not incur any liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by him in reliance upon any note, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by him to be genuinely and duly authorized, nor for any action or inaction in reliance in good faith upon advice of legal counsel. If the Stockholders’ Representative shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities hereunder, former Target stockholders with an interest in the Escrow Fund shall, by consent of former Target stockholders that hold at least a majority of the shares of Acquiror Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund, within ten (10) days after such death or disability, appoint a successor to the Stockholders’ Representative and immediately thereafter notify Acquiror of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Stockholders’ Representative as Stockholders’ Representative hereunder.

8.09. Adjustment to Escrow. In the event that Acquiror pays out any amounts to holders of Dissenting Shares with respect to such shares, the Acquiror shall be entitled to an immediate release from the Escrow Fund first out of the Escrow Cash and then out of the Escrow Shares in the amount necessary to reimburse Acquiror for such amounts paid with respect to the Dissenting Shares to the extent such amounts exceed what such Dissenting Shares would have otherwise received in Merger Consideration had they not been Dissenting Shares.

8.10. Indemnification by Acquiror. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.10, from and after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the former stockholders of Target (the “Target Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Damages, that any of the Target Indemnified Persons incurs by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation, breach of, or default in connection with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Acquiror or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or any closing certificates furnished by Acquiror or Merger Sub pursuant to Section 6.02(b) of this Agreement, and the Certificate of Merger, which becomes known to the Stockholders’ Representative or the Target Indemnified Person during the twelve (12) month period following the Effective Time and for which the Stockholders’ Representative or Target Indemnified Person delivers a timely written notice to Acquiror. Anything to in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Acquiror shall have no obligations to indemnify any Target Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 8.10 for any such breach of a representation and warranty of Acquiror or Merger Sub if at the time such representation or warranty was made by Acquiror, Target knew of such breach by Acquiror and failed to disclose such breach in writing to Acquiror. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the recovery of Damages by any Target Indemnified Person shall be subject to the objection of the Acquiror and the subsequent arbitration of the claim in the manner provided for in the Escrow Agreement, and no recovery or payment of such Damages shall be made other than in accordance therewith.
