Other than in the case of fraud, any payments required to be made to any Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VI shall be made solely from the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund, together with any interest and earnings thereon, shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement. At the close of business on the date that is nine months after the Closing Date, fifty percent (50%) of the then-remaining Available Escrow Fund shall be released to the Company Stockholders. At the close of business on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, any then-remaining Available Escrow Fund shall be released to the Company Stockholders. Thereafter, if at any time there is any then-remaining Available Escrow Fund, such amount shall be promptly released to the Company Stockholders. Upon any release of any Available Escrow Fund to the Company Stockholders, each Company Stockholder shall be paid his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the amount of the Available Escrow Fund that is released in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

The payment of any Working Capital Escrow Deficit required to be made to the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(iv) shall be made solely from the Working Capital Escrow Fund, provided, that, if the Working Capital

- 6 -

Escrow Fund is insufficient to fully satisfy any Working Capital Escrow Deficit, then the Buyer may be reimbursed for any remaining Working Capital Escrow Deficit solely from the Available Escrow Fund. If the Company Stockholders are entitled to an additional payment pursuant to Section 1.13(c)(iv), then the Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative shall promptly take all necessary steps to cause the Escrow Agent to release the then remaining balance of the Working Capital Escrow Fund to the Company Stockholders within five (5) business days after the date of determination of the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment under Section 1.13(c). Upon any release of such amount to the Company Stockholders, each Company Stockholder shall be paid his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of such amount that is released in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Working Capital Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(c) On the Closing Date, the Buyer or Merger Sub shall deposit the Company Stockholder Representative Amount with the Escrow Agent for the purpose of reimbursing the Company Stockholder Representative with respect to the Company Stockholder Representative’s obligations under Section 1.15 of this Agreement. The Company Stockholder Representative Fund, together with any interest and earnings thereon, shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement. At any time, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Company Stockholders all or any portion of the Company Stockholder Representative Fund upon the receipt of written instruction of the Company Stockholder Representative. Upon any release of such amount to the Company Stockholders, each Company Stockholder shall be paid his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the amount of such amount that is so- released in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Company Stockholder Representative Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(d) In no event shall the Escrow Amount and any interest and earnings earned thereon under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement paid to the Company Stockholders exceed twenty one million dollars ($21,000,000). In addition, in no event shall the Working Capital Escrow Amount and any interest and earnings earned thereon under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement paid to the Company Stockholders exceed two million one hundred thousand dollars ($2,100,000). Finally, in no event shall the Company Stockholder Representative Amount and any interest and earnings earned thereon under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement paid to the Company Stockholders exceed one million fifty thousand dollars ($1,050,000). The preceding language is intended to ensure that the rights to the Escrow Amount, the Working Capital Escrow Amount and the Company Stockholder Representative Amount (and any interest and earnings earned on such amounts) are not treated as contingent payments without a stated maximum selling price under Section 453 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

- 7 -

(e) The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the stockholders of the Company shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including the placement of the Escrow Fund, the Working Capital Escrow Fund and the Company Stockholder Representative Fund into escrow for the purposes set forth above and the appointment and actions of the Company Stockholder Representative.

(b) The Buyer shall deliver to the Payment Agent, in trust for the benefit of the Company Stockholders, the following amounts: (i) on the Closing Date, the Initial Payout Amount minus the aggregate Option Payment (as further reduced by the applicable provisions of this Article I), (ii) promptly following the determination of the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital in accordance with Section 1.13, the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment (if any) to the extent determined to be payable to Company Stockholders pursuant to

- 8 -

Such funds may be invested as directed by the Buyer, pending payment thereof by the Payment Agent to the Company Stockholders, provided that the Buyer shall be responsible for replacing any losses of funds resulting from such investments. Earnings from such investments will be the sole and exclusive property of the Buyer, and no part of such earnings will accrue to the benefit of the Company Stockholders. Promptly (and no in event more than five (5) business days) following the Effective Time, the Buyer shall cause the Payment Agent to send a notice and a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to each holder of a Company Certificate whose address appears in the Company’s stock books advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Payment Agent such Company Certificate (or other applicable documentation) in exchange for the amount payable to such Company Stockholder pursuant to Article I of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a record holder of Company Certificates, on an aggregate basis together with all Affiliates of such record holder, holds at least 5,000,000 Company Shares (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) (such record holder, a “Major Stockholder”) and submits to the Payment Agent at least two (2) business days prior to Closing (x) a duly executed Letter of Transmittal (together with all necessary certifications and attachments) and (y) the Company Certificates held by such Major Stockholder, and such Major Stockholder is the record holder of the Company Shares represented by such Company Certificates as of the Closing Date, then such Major Stockholder will be paid on the Closing Date by the Payment Agent (or the day after the Closing Date if the Closing occurs after the time by which the Payment Agent may initiate funding under its standard operating procedures), by wire transfer of same day funds, or if requested by such Major Stockholder, by check, the applicable payments under Section 1.5 with respect to such Company Shares.

(c) The Buyer shall cause the Payment Agent to distribute to the Company Stockholders the consideration that any such Company Stockholder is entitled to receive under this Agreement. Each holder of a Company Certificate, upon proper surrender thereof to the Payment Agent in accordance with the instructions in such notice, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (subject to the provisions of Section 1.8 and this Section 1.12 and the deduction and withholding of all applicable taxes that the Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or any Subsidiary is required or entitled to deduct or withhold) the cash amount payable pursuant to Section 1.5, Section 1.13 and Section 1.14. Until properly surrendered, each Company Certificate shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only the right to receive the amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence. Holders of Company Certificates shall not be entitled to receive payment of any amount until such Company Certificates are properly surrendered or other evidence of ownership, reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, is properly submitted to the Payment Agent.

(d) If any payment is to be made to or in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the Company Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) the Company Certificate 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 to the Payment Agent any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the satisfaction of the Payment Agent that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Payment Agent nor any Party shall be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any amount payable to such holder or pursuant to Article I of this Agreement that is delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(e) In the event any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent will, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate, pay the amount payable in exchange therefor pursuant to Article I of this Agreement; provided, however, the Buyer may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate to agree in writing to indemnify the Buyer (or if indemnification would not be reasonably adequate, deliver to the Buyer a bond in such sum as the Buyer may reasonably direct as indemnity) against any claim that may be made against the Buyer with respect to the Company Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) Any portion of the Initial Payout Amount made available to the Payment Agent pursuant to Section 1.5 that remains unclaimed by the Person entitled to such amount six (6) months after the Effective Time, any amount made available to the Payment Agent pursuant to Section 1.13 that remains unclaimed by the Person entitled to such amount six (6) months after the date on which the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital is determined and any amount made available to the Payment Agent pursuant to Section 1.14 that remains unclaimed by the Person entitled to such amount six (6) months after the date on which the Final Earn-Out Amount is determined, shall be returned to the Buyer and any Person who has not completed the exchange procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 shall thereafter look only to the Buyer for delivery of the portion of the consideration that such Person is entitled to received pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.

1.13 Working Capital Adjustments. The Initial Payout Amount shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.13 as follows.

(a) Definitions.

(i) “Closing Net Working Capital” means the current assets minus the current liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the close of business on the Closing Date, in each case calculated in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the application of GAAP by the Buyer; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) “current assets” shall be deemed to include the Aggregate Option Consideration; and (ii) “current liabilities” shall be deemed to exclude the Transaction Expenses, the aggregate Option Payment, the D&O Tail Insurance Premium Amount and any severance and change-in-control payments that are paid or payable in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

- 10 -

(ii) “Required Minimum Closing Net Working Capital” means seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000).

(b) Initial Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment. At least three (3) business days before the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer (i) an itemized statement setting forth the Company’s best estimate of the amount of Closing Net Working Capital, including each component thereof (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital” and the statement reporting such amount the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement”), and (ii) a certificate of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company certifying that the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Statement was prepared reasonably and in good faith and represents the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Certificate”). The Buyer and the Company shall work together in good faith, prior to the Closing, to resolve any disagreements over the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital shall for all purposes in this Agreement be equal to the amount initially proposed by the Company and any revisions thereto that are mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and the Company prior to the Closing. The “Initial Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment” shall be determined immediately prior to Closing as follows: (A) if the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Required Minimum Closing Net Working Capital then the difference shall be referred to herein as the “Initial Closing Net Working Capital Shortfall” and the Initial Payout Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall (it being understood and agreed that Closing Net Working Capital may be less than zero and that the downward adjustment to the Initial Payout Amount may in such circumstances exceed seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000)) and (B) if the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Required Minimum Closing Net Working Capital then the difference shall be referred to herein as the “Initial Closing Net Working Capital Excess” and the Initial Payout Amount shall be increased by the amount of such excess.

(i) On or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the Effective Time, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company Stockholder Representative (i) an itemized statement setting forth the Buyer’s calculation of the amount of Closing Net Working Capital, including each component thereof (such amount, the “Revised Closing Net Working Capital” and the statement reporting such amount the “Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement”) and (ii) a certificate of an appropriate, authorized executive officer of the Buyer certifying that the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement was prepared by Buyer reasonably and in good faith and represents the Revised Closing Net Working Capital.

(ii) If the Company Stockholder Representative does not dispute the Revised Closing Net Working Capital and does not deliver the statement described in Section 1.13(c)(iii) within the 30-day period described therein, then the Revised Closing Net Working Capital shall be deemed to be the “Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital”, the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to be the “Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement” and the “Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment” shall be equal to the difference between the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital and the

- 11 -

Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. The Company Stockholder Representative will have reasonable access (including electronic access, to the extent available), during normal business hours, to the applicable books, records, properties and personnel of the Buyer, the Company and the Surviving Corporation for purposes of (1) verifying the information in the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Revised Closing Net Working Capital and (2) preparing the statement described in Section 1.13(c)(iii) below.

(iii) If the Company Stockholder Representative in good faith disputes the Revised Closing Net Working Capital as shown on the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement, then the Company Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement a statement setting forth the Company Stockholder Representative’s calculation of the Revised Closing Net Working Capital and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such different Closing Net Working Capital. The Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative shall use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences regarding the determination of the Revised Closing Net Working Capital for a period of thirty (30) days after the Buyer’s receipt of the dispute notice from the Company Stockholder Representative. Delivery by the Company Stockholder Representative of a dispute notice shall constitute final and binding acceptance by the Company Stockholder Representative of all portions of the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement other than those specifically identified in the dispute notice as being subject to a good faith dispute.

(A) If the Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative resolve such differences during such time, then the Revised Closing Net Working Capital they agree to shall be deemed to be the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital, the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement they agree to shall be deemed to be the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment shall be equal to the difference between the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital.

(B) If the Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative do not reach a final resolution on the Revised Closing Net Working Capital within thirty (30) days after the Buyer’s receipt of dispute notice given by the Company Stockholder Representative, unless the Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, then either the Buyer or the Company Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to engage Huron Consulting Group Inc. or another auditing firm mutually agreeable to the Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative (the “Auditing Firm”) to determine the Revised Closing Net Working Capital. The Auditing Firm shall be instructed to resolve the items as to which disagreement between the Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative then exists (and only such items) and to calculate the resulting Revised Closing Net Working Capital within twenty (20) business days after submission. Absent manifest error, the Auditing Firm’s determination of the Revised Closing Net Working Capital shall be deemed to be the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital, the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement it prepares shall be deemed to be the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital Statement and the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment shall be equal to the difference between the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. The fees and expenses of the Auditing

- 12 -

Firm shall be borne by the non-prevailing party; provided that if the Company Stockholder Representative is the non-prevailing party, then the Company Stockholder Representative shall satisfy the payment of all such fees and expenses solely from the Company Stockholder Representative Fund, and the Company Stockholder Representative shall not be individually liable with respect to all such amounts.

(C) The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.13 for resolving disputes with respect to the Working Capital shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes, provided that this provision shall not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Auditing Firm.

(iv) If the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment is less than zero (the “Working Capital Escrow Deficit”), then the Buyer shall be entitled to receive payment of the Working Capital Escrow Deficit solely from the Working Capital Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 1.8(b); provided, however, that if the then-available Working Capital Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy in full the Working Capital Escrow Deficit, then the Buyer shall be reimbursed for any such shortfall from the Available Escrow Fund. If the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment is greater than zero, then the Buyer shall promptly pay (and in no event later than three (3) business days after the date of determination of the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital) (i) to the Payment Agent, for distribution to the Company Stockholders, the amount of the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment less the aggregate amount payable to former holders of Company Options based on such holders’ Pro Rata Portion of such payment, and the Buyer shall instruct the Payment Agent to release such amount to the Company Stockholders within three (3) business days thereafter, and (ii) the Company shall, in accordance with its standard payroll practices, pay to each former holder of Company Options that is entitled to a payment under Section 1.7(a) such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of such amount (and Buyer shall make such payments, or cause such payments to be made, to such holders in connection with the first payroll payment after the receipt of such amount).

1.14 Earn-Out. The Company Stockholders and the former holders of Company Options shall be entitled to receive their applicable portion of the Net Earn-Out Amount (if any).

(a) Certain Definitions.

- 13 -

Combined Buyer Product, (D) subject to the third sentence of Section 1.14(g), in any case where a bona fide “design win socket” has been awarded to the Company before the Closing Date (a list of which is set forth in Section 1.14(a)(i)(1) of the Disclosure Schedule, which may be updated prior to the Effective Time upon the mutual agreement of the Buyer and the Company, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), if a component of the Buyer or its subsidiaries replaces the Company Component to be sold in such “design win socket” (other than at the bona fide unsolicited request of a customer) and the Buyer and its subsidiaries recognize revenue during the Earn-Out Period with respect to the sale of such component of the Buyer or its subsidiaries, then the Net Revenue from the sale of such component of the Buyer or its subsidiaries shall be credited to Applicable Revenue and (E) subject to the third sentence of Section 1.14(g), in any case where a bona fide “design win socket” has been awarded to the Company before the Closing Date (a list of which is set forth in Section 1.14(a)(i)(2) of the Disclosure Schedule, which may be updated prior to the Effective Time upon the mutual agreement of the Buyer and the Company, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the Company or the Surviving Corporation has (either before or after the Closing Date) bona fide built and delivered to a third party at least 5,000 components for such “design win socket”, then if a component of the Buyer or its subsidiaries replaces such Company Component to be sold in such “design win socket” (other than at the bona fide unsolicited request of a customer) and the Buyer and its subsidiaries recognize revenue during the Earn-Out Period with respect to the sale of such component of the Buyer or its subsidiaries, then the Net Revenue from the sale of such component of the Buyer or its subsidiaries shall be credited to Applicable Revenue. For purposes of the definition of Applicable Revenue, the list price for any Company Component shall mean the effective price to the customer (after giving effect to any customer discounts, customer rebates and other similar deductions made to such customer).

(ii) “Combined Buyer Product” means any product manufactured by the Buyer either currently or in the future which incorporate Company Components in whole or in part.

(E) amounts repaid or credits taken by reason of defects, returns, damaged goods and allowances of goods, recalls or refunds or because of retroactive price reductions or billing errors.

(b) Interim Reports. Within 45 days after the end of the first three 90 day periods of the Earn-Out Period (each, a “Quarterly Earn-Out Period”), the Buyer shall furnish to the Company Stockholder Representative (i) a statement (a “Quarterly Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth the Buyer’s good faith determination of the applicable Earn-Out Amount, if any, for the immediately preceding Quarterly Earn-Out Period as well as a summary setting forth the material information underlying the calculation thereof (each, a “Quarterly Earn-Out Determination”) and (ii) certificate of an appropriate, authorized executive officer of the Buyer certifying that such Quarterly Earn-Out Determination was prepared reasonably and in good faith. After the delivery of a Quarterly Earn-Out Statement, the Company Stockholder Representative and its representatives shall be permitted reasonable access (including electronic access, to the extent available), during normal business hours, to books and records and working papers of the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries that are substantially relevant to the Buyer’s preparation of such Quarterly Earn-Out Statement and the data directly supporting such Quarterly Earn-Out Determination and reasonable access to the individuals that participated in the preparation of such Quarterly Earn-Out Statement and the calculation of such Quarterly Earn-Out Determination; provided, that such access shall be for the sole purpose of reviewing the accuracy of such Quarterly Earn-Out Statement and provided further, that all such books and records, working papers and other information so disclosed shall be kept confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.15(h).

- 15 -

the material information underlying the calculation thereof (the “Earn-Out Determination”) and (ii) certificate of an appropriate, authorized executive officer of the Buyer certifying that the Earn-Out Determination was prepared reasonably and in good faith. Unless within the thirty (30) business-day period following the Company Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Earn-Out Statement, the Company Stockholder Representative delivers written notice to the Buyer (the “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement related to the Earn-Out Statement (each, an “Item of Dispute”), then the Earn-Out Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company Stockholder Representative, the Company Stockholders and the former holders of Company Options and the Earn-Out Determination shall be the final Earn-Out Amount (the “Final Earn-Out Amount”).

(d) Dispute Resolution. If the Company Stockholder Representative delivers an Earn-Out Dispute Notice to the Buyer within such thirty (30) business day period, the Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve their differences concerning the Items of Dispute, and if any Item of Dispute is so resolved, the Earn-Out Statement shall be modified as necessary to reflect such resolution. If all Items of Dispute are so resolved, the Earn-Out Statement (as so modified) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Buyer, the Company Stockholder Representative and all Company Stockholders and the Earn-Out Determination as so modified shall be the Final Earn-Out Amount. If any Item of Dispute remains unresolved for a period of twenty (20) business days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Earn-Out Dispute Notice with respect to the Earn-Out Statement, the Buyer and the Company Stockholder Representative shall submit the dispute to the Auditing Firm.

The Auditing Firm’s determination as to each Item of Dispute submitted to it shall be in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Parties, and the Earn-Out Statement shall be modified to the extent necessary to reflect such determination.

- 16 -

(e) Payment of Final Earn-Out Amount. The Buyer shall deliver the Earn-Out Amount, as so reduced by the amount of the Contingent Banking Fees (the Earn-Out Amount so reduced, the “Net Earn-Out Amount”) (and after giving to such reduction, less the aggregate amount payable to former holders of Company Options based on such holders Pro Rata Portion of such payment) to the Payment Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders within five (5) business days after the final determination thereof, and the Buyer shall instruct the Payment Agent to pay to each Company Stockholder his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the Net Earn-Out Amount within two (2) business days thereafter. In addition to the foregoing payment, the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall, in accordance with its standard payroll practices, pay to each former holder of Company Options such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Net Earn-Out Amount (and the Buyer shall make such payments to such holders in connection with the first payroll payment after the receipt of such amount).

(f) No Assignment of Earn-Out Rights. No interest in the Net Earn-Out Amount or any portion thereof, no right to participate, in whole or in part, in the Net Earn-Out Amount pursuant to Section 1.14, and no right to receive any distribution of cash in connection therewith pursuant to Section 1.14 may be assigned or transferred to any Person (whether by operation of law, or in connection with any sale, assignment or other transfer of any Common Shares, shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or otherwise), and any attempt to do so will be void. The Net Earn-Out Amount and the provisions of Section 1.14 relating to the Net Earn-Out Amount are intended solely for the benefit of the Company Stockholders and the holders of Company Options, and the right (if any) to receive distributions in connection with the Net Earn- Out Amount shall be personal to those Persons; provided, however, that any and all rights under this Section 1.14 of any Company Stockholder or holder of a Company Option that is an (i) individual shall be freely assignable and transferrable (by operation of law or otherwise) in the case of the death or any such individual to such individual’s estate, spouse, children, ancestors and/or any descendants of any ancestors and (ii) entity shall be freely assignable and transferrable to such entity’s successors, any transferee of all or substantially all of such entity’s assets, or with the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld).

(g) Diligence. During the Earn-Out Period, the Buyer and its Affiliates, including without limitation, the Surviving Corporation, shall not, in bad faith, take any action (or fail to take any action) with the intent or effect of preventing the Company Stockholders and former holder of Company Options the opportunity to achieve the maximum Earn-Out Amount. Subject to the foregoing, the Buyer shall have absolute discretion to operate its business in its sole best interest, without regard to how its action (or inactions) would affect the Company Stockholders’ opportunity to achieve the Earn-Out Amount (or any portion thereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for “socket refreshes” listed on Section 1.14(g) of the Disclosure Schedule (as updated prior to the Effective Time upon the mutual agreement of the Buyer and the Company, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) the Buyer shall devote such sales, technical, marketing, operating, development, engineering, administrative and financial resources as the Buyer believes, in the Buyer’s sole discretion, is appropriate for the development, support and promotion of the Company Components for such “socket refreshes.” In the event that the Company or any Subsidiary fails to develop a part meeting the written performance and reliability specifications as reasonably requested by a customer for a “socket refresh” or if a customer makes a bona fide unsolicited request to use a component of Buyer or its subsidiaries for such “socket refresh”, for any reason,

- 17 -

then Buyer shall have the option to utilize its own component to meet this customer need and, for the avoidance of doubt, any related revenue resulting from any sale of a component of Buyer or its subsidiaries under the circumstances described in this sentence shall not count toward Applicable Revenue.

(h) No Interest. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any portion of the Net Earn-Out Amount or any payment or distribution pursuant to Section 1.14 relating to the Net Earn-Out Amount.

(a) In the event that the Company Stockholder Representative becomes unwilling or unable to perform his, her or its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Company Stockholders (acting by written consent by a majority in interest of the Company Stockholders, voting together as a single class) shall select another representative to fill the vacancy of the Company Stockholder Representative named in this Agreement, and such substituted representative shall succeed the former Company Stockholder Representative and be deemed to be the Company Stockholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the documents delivered pursuant hereto and thereto.

- 18 -

(c) Any decision, act, consent, waiver or instruction of the Company Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement shall constitute a decision of all the Company Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each Company Stockholder, and the Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the decisions, acts, consents, waivers and instructions of the Company Stockholder Representative as to any determination relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as being the decision, act, consent, waiver or instruction of every Company Stockholder, including without limitation (i) the determination and calculation of, and resolution of any disputes relating to, the Earn-Out Amount (if any) or the Revised Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment (if any), (ii) the resolution and disposition of any claims for indemnification pursuant to Article VI, and (iii) any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Company Stockholder Representative under this Agreement; no Person shall have any cause of action against the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates for any action taken by the Buyer in reliance upon any decision, act, consent, waiver or instruction of the Company Stockholder Representative; and the Buyer is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by it in accordance with such decision, act, consent, waiver or instruction of the Company Stockholder Representative.

(d) All actions, omissions, decisions, consents, waivers and instructions of the Company Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon Company Stockholders and neither the Buyer nor any Company Stockholder shall have any cause of action against the Company Stockholder Representative for any action taken, decision made or consent, waiver or instruction given by the Company Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful misconduct by the Company Stockholder Representative.

(e) The provisions of this Section 1.15 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that the Buyer or any Company Stockholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) The Company Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to seek reimbursement from the Company Stockholder Representative Escrow Fund for any reasonable expenses incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Company Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Company Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder (“Representative Reimbursable Expenses”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company Stockholder Representative shall have the right to engage legal counsel and other professional advisers to assist it in the administration of the Company Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder, and any and all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel and advisers shall be deemed Representative Reimbursable Expenses.

(g) The Company Stockholder Representative shall be indemnified by the Company Stockholders for, and shall be held harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Company Stockholder Representative or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, consultants, attorneys, accountants, advisors, brokers, representatives or controlling persons, in each case relating to the Company Stockholder Representative’s conduct as the Company Stockholder Representative, other than losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from the Company Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its performance

- 19 -

under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The costs of such indemnification (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this right of indemnification) may be paid from the Company Stockholder Representative Fund (and in no event shall such costs be paid from either the Escrow Fund or the Working Capital Escrow Fund prior to the time such amounts are otherwise distributable to the Company Stockholders). In the event it is finally adjudicated that a loss, liability or expense or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company Stockholder Representative, the Company Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Company Stockholders the amount of such indemnified loss, liability or expense attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. With the prior written consent of Prism Venture Partners IV, L.P., any such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Company Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Company Stockholder Representative Fund, (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Funds otherwise distributable to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement at the time of distribution, and (iii) from any Net Earn-Out Amounts actually payable to the Company Stockholders pursuant to written instructions delivered by the Company Stockholder Representative to the Buyer; provided that while this section allows the Company Stockholder Representative to be paid from the Company Stockholder Representative Escrow Fund, the Escrow Fund and the Earn-Out Amounts, this does not relieve the Company Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Reimbursable Expenses as such Representative Reimbursable Expenses are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Company Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. The Company Stockholder Representative may, in all questions arising under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, rely on the advice of counsel and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Company Stockholder Representative in accordance with such advice, the Company Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Company Stockholders or the Escrow Agent or any other Person

- 53 -

similar plan of the Buyer to be waived with respect to the Hired Company Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent waived under the corresponding plan in which the Hired Company Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing Date, and any deductibles paid by the Hired Company Employees under any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ health plans in the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of the Buyer or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Buyer. The Buyer shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts and subject to applicable Law to make appropriate arrangements with its insurance carrier(s) to ensure such result and only to the extent that Hired Company Employees become subject to or eligible to participate in employee benefits plans of the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation during the current plan year.

(c) No provision of this Section 4.9 shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of the Buyer’s direct or indirect subsidiaries, and no provision of this Section 4.9 shall create such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee program or any plan or arrangement that may be established by the Buyer or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on the rights to amend, modify or terminate after the Effective Time any such plans or arrangements of the Buyer or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

4.10 Termination of 401 (k) Plan.

(a) The Company’s Board of Directors or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company’s 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”), shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to terminate the 401(k) Plan no later than the day before the Closing Date, on terms satisfactory to Buyer.

(b) The Buyer shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) take such actions as are necessary to cause a retirement plan maintained by it or one of its ERISA Affiliates that is qualified under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code to accept direct and indirect rollover distributions of the Company’s employees’ balances under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, including promissory notes evidencing outstanding plan loans (if any), but only to the extent that the Buyer’s applicable retirement plan provides for participant plan loans and subject to the outside administrator of the Buyer’s applicable retirement plan accepting such plan loan (and the Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such administrator to accept such loan).

4.11 280G Payments Vote. To the extent the Company (in consultation with the Buyer) reasonably determines that such a vote is required, prior, to the Effective Time, the Company shall submit to a stockholder vote, in a manner that satisfies the stockholder approval requirements under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, the right of any “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) to receive any and all payments (or other benefits) contingent on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (within the meaning of

- 54 -

Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent necessary so that, no payment received by such “disqualified individual” shall be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (determined without regard to Section 280G(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code). Such vote shall establish the disqualified individual’s right to the payment or other compensation and the Company shall obtain any required waivers or consents from the disqualified individual prior to the vote. In connection with such vote, the Company shall provide adequate disclosure to the Company Stockholders of all material facts concerning all payments to any such disqualified individual that, but for such vote, could be deemed “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code in a manner that satisfies Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Buyer and its counsel shall have the right to review and comment on all documents required to be delivered to the Company Stockholders in connection with such vote (including the disclosure described above) and any required disqualified individual waivers or consents and Buyer and its counsel shall be provided copies of all vote documents executed by the stockholders and disqualified individuals.

4.12 FIRPTA. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer a certification that the Company Shares are not United States real property interests as defined in Section 897(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, together with a notice to the Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Sections 897 and 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code. If the Company has not provided such certification and notice to the Buyer on or before the Closing Date, the Buyer shall be permitted to withhold from the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement any required withholding Tax under Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code.

4.13 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Buyer and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of, and all limitations on the personal liability of, each present and former director, officer, employee, fiduciary and agent of the Company and its Subsidiaries provided for in their respective certificates of incorporation, charters, by-laws or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time. During such period, Buyer shall not, nor shall it permit the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions for indemnification in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individual who at any time on or prior to the Effective Time was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or its Subsidiaries in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), unless such modification is required by applicable Law; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claims asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time to the extent provided in any written indemnification agreements with the Company or any Subsidiary except with respect to matters for which the Buyer is indemnified under Article VI. Notwithstanding any other rights to indemnification any such director, officer, employee, fiduciary and agent may have, including without limitation from any private equity or venture capital fund or management company with which such Person was or is affiliated or associated, the obligations specified herein are to be the primary source of indemnification for such Person.

- 55 -

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase an extension (the “D&O Tail Insurance”) of its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the current Company directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Company Insured Parties”) on terms not substantially less favorable to the Company Insured Parties than those of Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy a copy of which has been made available to the Buyer. The D&O Tail Insurance shall provide coverage for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time for losses to which the Company Insured Parties may be subject based on pre-Closing occurrences. The premium for the six years of coverage of D&O Tail Insurance shall be determined prior to the Effective Time, and is referred to herein as the “D&O Tail Insurance Premium Amount.” The Company shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the D&O Tail Insurance Premium Amount and such payment will be deemed to be a Transaction Expense, the Buyer shall pay the remainder of the D&O Tail Insurance Premium Amount and such payment will not be deemed to be a Transaction Expense. The Buyer shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in full force and effect the D&O Tail Insurance for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c) In the event Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.13.

(d) The obligations under this Section 4.13 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Insured Party to whom this Section 4.13 applies without the consent of such affected Company Insured Party (it being expressly agreed that the Company Insured Parties to whom this Section 4.13 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.13 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, from and after the Closing, the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof shall be indemnified in respect of, and held harmless against, in each case, solely from the Escrow Fund, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Surviving Corporation or the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof resulting from, relating to or constituting:

(a) any inaccuracy in any representation or breach of any warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument executed by the Company and furnished by the Company to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, whether as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations or warranties are specifically made as of a particular date, in which case, as of such date);

(b) any breach or nonperformance of (or noncompliance with) any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or any agreement or instrument furnished by the Company to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(c) any amount by which the Working Capital Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy in full the Working Capital Escrow Deficit as determined in accordance with Section 1.8(b) and Section 1.13; or

(d) any claim made by holders of Dissenting Shares to the extent Losses exceed the amount the holders of such Dissenting Shares would have otherwise received under this Agreement; provided, that (i) the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation will have given the Company Stockholder Representative (A) written notice of any written demand for appraisal, withdrawal of a demand for appraisal and any other instrument served pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law received by the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate thereof and (B) an opportunity to participate in the negotiations and proceedings with respect to such Dissenting Shares; (ii) the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation will have used commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute regarding such Dissenting Shares; and (iii) such payments are made pursuant to either a (X) written settlement agreement that is approved by the Company Stockholder Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or (Y) final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.2 Indemnification Claims.

(a) Third Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the Company Stockholder Representative (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party; provided, that a failure to notify or delay in notifying the Company Stockholder Representative will not relieve the Company Stockholder Representative of its obligations pursuant to this Article VI, except to the extent that such claim is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Such Third Party Claim Notice shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for such third party claim and the amount of the Losses claimed (the “Third Party Claim Amount”). Within 30 days after delivery of such Third Party Claim Notice, the Company Stockholder Representative may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or claim in which (i) the third-party claimant seeks only the recovery of monetary damages and (ii) the Company Stockholder Representative agrees that, subject to the

- 59 -

limitations set forth in this Article VI, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses incurred or suffered by it resulting from such claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Company Stockholder Representative does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense (provided that if the non-controlling participating party is the Company Stockholder Representative, the obligation to pay such expenses shall be solely on behalf of the Company Stockholders and in its capacity as the Company Stockholder Representative, not in its individual capacity); provided that if the Company Stockholder Representative assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Company Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnified Parties be entitled to be indemnified for the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. If the Company Stockholder Representative does not assume the defense, the Indemnified Party may not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Company Stockholder Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company Stockholder Representative shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that (A) does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, (B) imposes any liability, injunction, equitable relief or other obligation on the Indemnified Party, (C) results in Losses in excess of the then Available Escrow Funds or (D) results in a material increase in Taxes of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries in a tax period ending after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2(a), the Company Stockholder Representative shall not be entitled to control, and the Buyer shall instead control, the defense of any action, suit, proceeding or claim with respect to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries attributable to any period ending after the Closing Date.

(b) Procedure for Claims Not Involving Third Parties. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI that does not involve a third- party claim shall deliver to the Company Stockholder Representative a Claim Notice. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Company Stockholder Representative shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Company Stockholder Representative shall (A) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claim Amount (in which case the Company Stockholder Representative shall take such actions as are required pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to cause the Claimed Amount to be released to the Buyer from the Escrow Fund), (B) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claim Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case the Company Stockholder Representative shall take such actions as are required pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to cause the Agreed Amount to be released to the Buyer from the Escrow Fund) or (C) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claim Amount. If the Company Stockholder Representative in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claim Amount, the Company Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith and commercially reasonable

- 60 -

efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Company Stockholder Representative of such response, the Company Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.12.

(c) Authority of Company Stockholder Representative. The Company Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Company Stockholder to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Company Stockholders under this Article VI. The Company Stockholder Representative shall have no liability to any Company Stockholder for any action taken or omitted on behalf of the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Article VI.

6.3 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Each Party’s representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time. If an Indemnified Party delivers to Company Stockholder Representative, before the expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or an Expected Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of any claims arising from or related to the matter covered by such notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in no event later than three (3) days after the date of such withdrawal or resolution) so notify the Company Stockholder Representative; and if the Indemnified Party has delivered a copy of the Expected Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent and funds have been retained in escrow after the Termination Dates (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to such Expected Claim Notice, the Company Stockholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in no event later than three (3) days after the date of such withdrawal or resolution) deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse such retained funds to the Company Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VI shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by the Indemnified Party, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder or (ii) any waiver by the Buyer or Merger Sub of any closing condition relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties or the performance of or compliance with agreements and covenants. Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall be construed to limit the survival of covenants, agreements and obligations that by their terms are to be performed or observed after the Effective Time or for which another time period is specified in this Agreement.

- 61 -

6.4 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, other than for claims involving fraud, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.14, the Indemnified Parties shall not be able to seek indemnification from the Escrow Fund under this Article VI and the Escrow Agreement unless and until the aggregate Losses for which they or it would otherwise be entitled under this Article VI exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) (the “Threshold”), at which point the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover from the Escrow Fund all Losses indemnified under this Article VI and not just those Losses in excess of the Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the Escrow Agreement, other than for claims involving fraud, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.14, the Indemnified Parties shall not be able to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article VI or the Escrow Agreement for any amount of indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Escrow Fund and the right of the Indemnified Parties to recover for any indemnifiable Losses under this Article VI shall be limited solely and exclusively to the Escrow Fund.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, other than for claims involving fraud, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.14, claims pursuant to this Article VI and/or the Escrow Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for (x) indemnifiable Losses under this Article VI and the Escrow Agreement or (y) inaccuracies in or breaches of or failure to perform the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement, document, certificate or instrument executed by the Company and furnished by the Company to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except for claims for indemnification involving fraud, the Available Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnifiable Losses under this Article VI. In the case of claims for indemnification of Losses resulting from fraud, each Company Stockholder shall be liable only for such holder’s respective Pro Rata Portion of the indemnifiable Losses, and in no event shall any holder’s liability for such Losses exceed the aggregate amount paid to such holder pursuant to Article I of this Agreement.

(c) Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall be construed to limit the Buyer’s rights under Section 9.14. No Company Stockholder shall have any right of contribution or subrogation against the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any Indemnified Party, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, any Loss for which any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

- 62 -

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI for any Losses to the extent such Losses are included as current liabilities in the Final Revised Closing Net Working Capital.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under this Article VI shall be calculated net of (i) any insurance proceeds received by any Indemnified Party on account of such Losses and/or (ii) any indemnification payments received by the Indemnified Party from any third party with respect to such Losses. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VI or the Escrow Agreement for any Losses to the extent any Indemnified Party could have, with reasonable efforts, mitigated or prevented the Loss.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, any indemnification with respect to Taxes shall be limited to Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary for taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date.

6.5 Right of Offset. If the Buyer recovers a portion of the Working Capital Escrow Deficit from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 6.1(c) (such amount so recovered by the Buyer is referred to as the “Make Whole Amount”), then the Buyer shall be entitled to offset the Make Whole Amount against the Net Earn-Out Amount, if any.

6.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid under this Article VI shall be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

Any Party may give any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication hereunder using any other means (including personal delivery, expedited courier, messenger service, or ordinary mail), but no such notice, request, demand, claim or other communication that is given by such other means shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it actually is received by the party for whom it is intended. Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties a minimum of five (5) business days’ prior written notice in the manner herein set forth.

9.9 Amendments and Waivers. The Parties may mutually amend any provision of this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing; provided, however, that any amendment effected subsequent to the Requisite Stockholder Approval shall be subject to any restrictions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the Parties or, after the Effective Time, by the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Company Stockholder Representative. No waiver of any right or remedy hereunder shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver. No waiver by any Party with respect to any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

9.10 Severability; Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is finally judicially determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

9.11 Governing Law. All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation its interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware.

9.12 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Party (a) submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the City of Dover or Wilmington in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any action or proceeding for the enforcement of any arbitral award made in connection with any arbitration of a Dispute hereunder), (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (c) waives any claim of inconvenient forum or other challenge to venue in such court, (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to

- 80 -

this Agreement in any other court; provided in each case that, solely with respect to any arbitration of a Dispute, the Arbitrator shall resolve all threshold issues relating to the validity and applicability of the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, contract validity, applicability of statutes of limitations and issue preclusion, and such threshold issues shall not be heard or determined by such court. Each Party agrees to accept service of any summons, complaint or other initial pleading made in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.8, provided that nothing in this Section 9.12 shall affect the right of any Party to serve such summons, complaint or other initial pleading in any other manner permitted by law.

9.13 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREFROM, THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENT TO TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO OR ITS SUCCESSORS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ITS SUCCESSORS IN RESPECT OF ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

9.14 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is agreed by the Parties that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at Law or in equity.

9.15 Construction.

(a) The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party.

(b) Any reference to any Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.

(c) Any reference to any Article, Section or paragraph shall be deemed to refer to an Article, Section or paragraph of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

(d) The Parties hereto agree that this Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties and individuals, all of whom were or had the opportunity to be represented by counsel, and each of whom had an opportunity to participate in or did participate in the drafting of each provision hereof. Accordingly, ambiguities in this Agreement, if any, shall not be construed strictly or in favor of or against any Party but rather shall be given a fair and reasonable construction without regard to the rule of contra proferentem.

(e) Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (i) words of either gender or the neuter include the other gender and the neuter, (ii) words using the singular number also include the plural number and words using the plural number also include the

- 81 -

singular number, (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision, (iv) the terms “Article” or “Section” or other subdivision refer to the specified Article, Section or other subdivision of the body of this Agreement, (v) the words “include,” “includes,” “including” and other similar words shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “but not limited to,” (vi) when a reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated and (vii) for any document or other item to have been “made available” heretofore or prior to the execution or date of this Agreement such document or other item must be deposited at least six (6) hours prior to the time that this Agreement was executed by the Parties (or if deposited more recently, provided such notice of such deposit and a copy of thereof was give to the Buyer) into the data room heretofore established by the Company with written notice of such deposit and a copy of such deposit was made to the Buyer and (x) all references to “dollars” or “$” shall refer to the lawful currency of the United States. All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP, unless otherwise expressly stated. The terms “third party,” “third-party” or “third parties” refers to Persons other than the Buyer and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company and the Company Stockholder Representative, on the other hand. The drafting and negotiation of the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions to the obligations of the Company, the Buyer and Merger Sub herein reflect compromises, and certain provisions may overlap with other provisions or may address the same or similar subject matters in different ways or for different purposes. It is the intention of the parties that, to the extent possible, unless provisions are by their terms mutually exclusive and effect cannot be given to both or all such provisions, (i) the representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions in this Agreement shall be construed to be cumulative, (ii) each representation, warranty, covenant and closing condition in this Agreement shall be given full separate and independent effect, and (iii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no limitation in or exception to any representation, warranty, covenant or closing condition shall be construed to limit or apply to any other representation, warranty, covenant or closing condition unless such limitation or exception is expressly made applicable to such other representation, warranty, covenant or closing condition. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

9.16 Waiver of Conflict. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates that the Company is the client of Goodwin Procter LLP (“Firm”), and not any of the Company Stockholders. After the Closing, it is possible that Firm will represent the Company Stockholders, the Company Stockholder Representative and their respective Affiliates (individually or collectively, the “Seller Group”) in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, or in the Escrow Agreement, the escrowed funds described in Section 1.8 hereof, any claims made thereunder pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree that Firm (or any successor) may represent the Seller Group in the future in connection with issues that may arise under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the administration of the escrowed funds described in Section 1.8 hereof and any claims that may be made thereunder pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Firm (or any successor) may serve as counsel to all or a portion of the Seller Group or any director, member, partner, officer, employee, representative, or Affiliate of the Seller Group, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement,

- 82 -

the Escrow Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Each of the Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company consents thereto, and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each such party shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representations. Each of the Buyer, the Merger Sub and the Company acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in this connection. Communications between the Company and Firm will become the property of the Company Stockholder Representative and the Company Stockholders following the Closing and will not be disclosed to the Buyer or Merger Sub without the prior written consent of the Company Stockholder Representative.
