(i)  Company Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or the Company Holders, each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares owned by the Company), including any issued and outstanding shares of

5

Company Capital Stock that are unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.9 and throughout this Agreement, including the holdback provisions set forth herein, will be cancelled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon execution and delivery by the applicable holder of such Company Capital Stock of a letter of transmittal, in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (“Letter of Transmittal”) and the Sellers’ Agreement or a joinder to the Sellers’ Agreement in the form attached as an exhibit thereto, an amount in cash per share of Company Capital Stock equal to the Company Per Share Amount, in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet.  For purposes of calculating the amount to be paid to each holder of Company Capital Stock at the Effective Time, the amounts described in this Section 1.9 shall be calculated assuming that the Total Merger Consideration is equal to the Initial Merger Consideration, and shall be adjusted following the Closing as set forth herein.  The aggregate amount to be paid to a holder of Company Capital Stock for shares of Company Capital Stock held immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all shares of Company Capital Stock held by each particular holder of Company Capital Stock.

(ii)  Company Options. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or the Company Holders, each then-outstanding Company Option, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.9(a)(ii) and throughout this Agreement, including the holdback provisions set forth herein, shall be cancelled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon execution and delivery by the applicable holder of such Company Option of an Option Cancellation Agreement with respect to such Company Option, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (an “Option Cancellation Agreement”), an amount in cash per share subject to the portion of such Company Option that is vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time equal to the difference between (a) the Company Per Share Amount and (b) the per-share exercise price associated with such Company Option (subject to any applicable withholding obligations), in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet; provided, however, that, to the extent such Company Option is unvested at the Effective Time or the per-share exercise price associated with such Company Option exceeds the Company Per Share Amount, such Company Option shall be cancelled without the payment of any consideration.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall have taken all actions necessary to effectuate the treatment of Company Options pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.9(a)(ii), including to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Acquiror nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to deliver any Company Capital Stock or any consideration other than the Total Merger Consideration applicable to such Company Option set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Option. For purposes of calculating the amount to be paid to each Company Optionholder at the Effective Time, the amounts described in this Section 1.9(a)(ii) shall be calculated assuming that the Total Merger Consideration is equal to the Initial Merger Consideration, and shall be adjusted following the Closing as set forth herein. The aggregate amount to be paid to a Company Optionholder for Company Options held immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Company Options held by each particular holder of Company Options. The aggregate amount of cash payable with respect to all such Company Options under this Section 1.9(a)(ii) is referred to as the “Option Consideration”.

(iii)  Company Notes.  At the Effective Time, subject to the consummation of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or the Company Holders, each Company Note, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.9(a)(iii) and throughout this Agreement, including the holdback provisions set forth herein, shall be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive, upon execution and delivery by the applicable Company Noteholder of a Note Cancellation Agreement with respect to such Company Note, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (a “Note Cancellation Agreement”), an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount payable with respect to such Company Note in accordance with the terms of

6

such Company Note.  For purposes of calculating the amount to be paid to each Company Noteholder at the Effective Time, the amounts described in this Section 1.9(a)(iii) shall be calculated assuming that the Total Merger Consideration is equal to the Initial Merger Consideration, and shall be adjusted following the Closing as set forth herein.  The aggregate amount to be paid to any Company Noteholder with respect to any outstanding Company Note held immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.  At the Effective Time, all Company Notes shall be cancelled or terminated, and no Company Noteholder shall have the right to receive any security or other consideration from the Company, Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation with respect thereto.  Acquiror shall not assume or convert any Company Notes and no Company Note shall be deemed to be outstanding or to have any rights other than those set forth in this Section 1.9(a)(iii) after the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall have taken all actions necessary to effectuate the treatment of Company Notes pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.9(a)(iii), including to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Acquiror nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to deliver any Company Capital Stock or any consideration other than the Total Merger Consideration applicable to such Company Note set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Note. The aggregate amount of cash payable with respect to all such Company Notes under this Section 1.9(a)(iii) is referred to as the “Note Consideration”.

(iv)  Total Merger Consideration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate consideration paid by Acquiror to the Company Holders pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Total Merger Consideration.

(v)  Capital Stock of Merger Sub.  Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of Surviving Corporation into which the shares of capital stock of Merger Sub are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time).  Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)  Treatment of Company Capital Stock Owned by the Company.  At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock or reserved for issuance by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no amount of Total Merger Consideration shall be allocated or paid thereto.

(c)  Dissenters’ Rights.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Dissenting Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the cash amount provided for in Section 1.9(a)(i), but instead the holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the California Corporation Code (the “CCC”) (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holders shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the CCC).  Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq., becomes entitled to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the CCC shall receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the CCC, as applicable (but only after the fair value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions).  If

7

any such holder of Dissenting Shares fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the CCC, then the right of such holder to receive the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the cash amount provided for in Section 1.9(a)(i), without interest thereon, in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Acquiror shall issue and deliver to the Paying Agent on behalf of the holder or the holders thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.11, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.11, the amount of cash to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under Section 1.9(a)(i) as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares.  The Company shall give Acquiror prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the CCC and received by the Company.  The Company shall not, except with the consent of Acquiror, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or as otherwise required under Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the CCC, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares.  The payout of consideration under this Agreement to the Company Stockholders (other than to holders of Dissenting Shares who shall be treated as provided in this Section 1.9(c) and under Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the CCC, as applicable) shall not be affected by the exercise or potential exercise of appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300 et seq. of the CCC by any other Company Stockholder.

(d)  Rights Not Transferable.  The rights of the Company Holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time are personal to each such Company Holder and shall not be transferable for any reason otherwise than by operation of law, will or the laws of descent and distribution or with the prior written consent of Acquiror.  Any attempted transfer of such right by any holder thereof (otherwise than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

1.10  Treatment of the Holdback Amount and the Reserve Amount.  Each Company Holder shall be deemed to have contributed an amount equal to his, her or its Pro Rata Holdback Share of the Reserve Amount to the Reserve Account.  The right to receive the Reserve Amount and the Holdback Amount represents a contingent right of the Company Holders to receive a portion of the Total Merger Consideration, subject to the obligations of the Company Holders set forth in this Agreement, including the indemnification provisions of Article VIII and the provisions applicable to the Reserve Account of Section 1.4(a)(iv).

1.11  Paying Agent; Surrender of Certificates in Exchange for Payments.

(a)  Acquiom Financial LLC shall act as exchange and paying agent, registrar and transfer agent (in such capacity, the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging the certificates representing Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Company Capital Stock for the aggregate Initial Merger Consideration (less the amount payable to the Company Optionholders and Company Noteholders pursuant to Sections 1.9(a)(ii) and 1.9(a)(iii), respectively).  At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each Company Holder (other than the Company Optionholders and Company Noteholders) to be provided (i) a notice of the effectiveness of the Merger, (ii) 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 proper delivery of the Certificates to Acquiror, and (iii) instructions for use in receiving the Initial Merger Consideration in respect thereof.  In addition, the Letter of Transmittal will require the delivering holder to represent that (A) such delivering holder has good title to such Certificates, (B) such delivering holder has full power and authority to execute and deliver such Letter of Transmittal and to perform its obligations in connection therewith and (C) such delivering holder agrees to the terms of this Agreement.  

8

(b)  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Certificate(s) (or compliance with Section 1.11(e) below), together with such Letter of Transmittal and the Sellers’ Agreement or a joinder to the Sellers’ Agreement, in each case duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate(s) shall be entitled to receive, promptly after such surrender, in exchange therefor, cash pursuant to Section 1.9(a)(i) in an amount set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, which amounts shall be paid by the Paying Agent by check or wire transfer in accordance with the instructions provided by such holder.  No interest or dividends will be paid or accrued on the consideration payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate.  Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.11(b), each Certificate (other than those representing Company Capital Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.9(b)) shall represent, for all purposes, only the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the portion of the Total Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.9(a)(i) in respect of the Company Capital Stock formerly evidenced by such Certificate, without any interest or dividends thereon.

(c)  The consideration issued upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby.  After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any Company Capital Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d)  Neither Acquiror nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to a holder of Certificates or any other Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.  If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered or transferred by the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Total Merger Consideration, dividends (whether in cash, stock or property) or other distributions with respect to Company Capital Stock in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any foreign, federal, state or local governments or governmental agency), any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.  If any cash amount payable pursuant to Section 1.9(a) is to be paid to a Person other than the Person to which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of cash 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.

(e)  In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Acquiror shall issue in exchange for such Certificate, following the making of an affidavit of that fact by the record holder thereof, such cash as may be required pursuant to Section 1.9(a) in respect of such Certificate; provided, however, that Acquiror may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the record holder of such Certificate to execute an indemnification agreement as Acquiror may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and/or any of their respective representatives or agents with respect to such Certificate.

(f)  At the Closing, the Paying Agent shall deliver to each Company Noteholder the cash amount such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.9(a)(iii) in respect of a Company Note as stated in the Consideration Spreadsheet. The Paying Agent shall pay the Option Consideration pursuant to Section 1.9(a)(ii) to the Surviving Corporation for further distribution to the Company Optionholders in accordance with Section 1.9(a)(ii) and as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, in order that such payments be effected through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll payment system (in each case subject to applicable withholding Taxes).

9

(g)  No interest shall accumulate on any cash payable in connection with the Merger.  All amounts paid by Acquiror hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.

respect of services performed in such Company Holder’s capacity as an employee of the Company in the ordinary course of business relating to the pay period in which the Closing occurs or health care continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, or Cal-COBRA, as applicable. In addition, each Company Holder hereby releases and discharges Acquiror and Merger Sub, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation, from and against any Damages arising out of or in connection with  the  Company Holders’ Agent’s  failure  to  distribute  any  amounts  received  by  the Company Holders’ Agent  on  behalf  of  the  Company Holders  to such holders. THE RELEASES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 5.13 APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS BY THE COMPANY HOLDERS COVERED BY SUCH RELEASE, AND EACH COMPANY HOLDER AGREES TO WAIVE THE BENEFITS OF ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENT (INCLUDING PRINCIPLES OF COMMON LAW) OF ANY STATE OR TERRITORY OR OTHER JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY JURISDICTION OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES THAT PROVIDES THAT A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN THE CREDITOR’S FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY THE CREDITOR MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH A DEBTOR.

5.14  Confidentiality.

(a)  The parties hereto acknowledge that Acquiror and the Company previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement, dated June 19, 2019 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b)  Each Company Holder shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates, trustees, advisors, representatives and agents to, disclose the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement or the Sellers’ Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Information”) without the prior written consent of Acquiror.  If the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Sellers’ Agreement are consummated, each Company Holder shall treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the business and/or the affairs of the Company that is not already generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”) and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement and the Sellers’ Agreement, and deliver promptly to Acquiror or destroy, at the request of Acquiror, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its possession or under its control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company Holder may disclose the Merger Agreement Information and the Confidential Information, without violating the obligations of this Agreement, to the extent such information is already in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach by such Company Holder of its obligations under this Section 5.14 or otherwise) or the disclosure is required (a) in connection with any Tax Return filed by such Company Holder, (b) to a financial advisor, attorney, or accountant who is subject to an obligation of confidence for the purpose of obtaining advice or services from such party, (c) during the course of pursuing or defending indemnification claims (or the matters underlying such indemnification claims) or enforcing any rights under this Agreement or in connection with the agreements and transactions contemplated thereby, (d) if such Company Holder is an investment fund, to any partner (including any limited partner) of such Company Holder as and to the extent required by Legal Requirements or the terms of any of such Company Holder’s governing documents (including any limited partnership agreement) or contractual commitments in order for such partner to monitor its investment in the Company Holder, but only if such partner is bound by an agreement to keep such information confidential on terms no less favorable to Acquiror and the Company than the terms of this Agreement, and (e) to any family member, director, manager, officer, or employee of such Company Holder, provided that such Company Holder will cause such persons to treat Confidential Information and Merger Agreement Information in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.14 and to not disclose or use such Confidential Information and Merger Agreement Information other than in accordance with this Section 5.14, and such Company Holder shall be personally liable for any breach of such obligations by such persons.

47

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Company Holder who is also an employee or officer of the Company, in the event of a conflict between this Section 5.14 with respect to Confidential Information and such Company Holder’s proprietary information and invention assignment (or similar) agreement with the Company, such proprietary information and invention assignment (or similar) agreement shall control to the extent more protective of the Company than this Agreement.

5.15  Parachute Payment Waivers.  Prior to the initiation of the stockholder approval procedure contemplated by Section 5.16, the Company shall have obtained and delivered to Acquiror a Parachute Payment Waiver from each Person identified on Schedule 5.15 to the Disclosure Letter.  Schedule 5.15 to the Disclosure Letter lists each individual who is, with respect to the Company and/or any ERISA Affiliate, a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) and who might otherwise have, receive or have the right or entitlement to receive a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code as a result of (a) the accelerated vesting of such Person’s Company Options or unvested Company Shares in connection with the Merger and/or the termination of employment or service with the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Acquiror before, upon or following the Merger, (b) any severance payments, bonus payments, change in control or transaction payments, or other benefits or payments in connection with the Merger and/or the termination of employment or service with the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Acquiror before, upon or following the Merger, and/or (c) the receipt of any Company Options or Company Common Stock within the twelve-month period ending on the date on which the Effective Time occurs, pursuant to which each such Person shall agree to waive any and all right or entitlement to the accelerated vesting, payments, benefits, options and stock referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) to the extent the value thereof exceeds three times such Person’s base amount less one dollar determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the requisite stockholder approval of such accelerated vesting, payments, benefits, options and stock is obtained pursuant to Section 5.16.

5.16  Stockholder Approval.  The Company shall submit for the approval by such number of stockholders of the Company as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) so as to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code inapplicable to any and all accelerated vesting payments, benefits, options, and/or stock provided pursuant to agreements, contracts, or arrangements that might otherwise result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code (and which, to the extent applicable, are covered by a Parachute Payment Waiver), with such stockholder vote to be sought in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Company shall provide Acquiror and its legal counsel with the opportunity to review, comment on, and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) all aspects of any disclosure required to be provided to the Company Stockholders in accordance with section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and shall forward such disclosure to Acquiror at least three (3) Business Days prior to its submission to the Company Stockholders.  The Company shall revise any such disclosure to incorporate all reasonable comments of Acquiror or its legal counsel, prior to the delivery of such disclosure to the Company Stockholders. The parties hereby agree to cooperate with each other in preparing any such disclosure.

5.17  Treatment of Company Employee Plans.  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall adopt resolutions to terminate each Company Employee Plan (unless Acquiror provides written notice to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that a Company Employee Plan shall not be terminated).  Unless Acquiror provides any such written notice to the Company, the Company shall provide Acquiror with evidence that such Company Employee Plans have been terminated (such termination to be effective no later than the Closing Date or, in the case of a Company Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board.  The form and substance of

48

such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Acquiror (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plans as Acquiror may reasonably require, including making such amendments to the Company Employee Plans as reasonably requested by Acquiror no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect or assist with the timely, accurate and efficient transfer of the Continuing Employees to the Acquiror Benefit Plans.  Subject to the approval of any applicable insurance carrier, Acquiror shall cause Acquiror Benefit Plans to waive all pre-existing condition limitations and waiting periods that otherwise might apply to such Continuing Employees and, subject to the Company or Continuing Employees providing documentation acceptable to Acquiror of the Continuing Employees’ co-payment, deductibles and out of pocket costs, cause Acquiror Benefit Plans to credit such Continuing Employees with all co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket costs incurred under analogous employee benefit plans and programs of the Company for the year in which the Closing Date occurs.  No provision of Sections 5.11, 5.14, 5.15 and this Section 5.16 shall be construed to create any right or accelerate entitlement to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any Continuing Employee or any other Person under any Company Employee Plan or Acquiror Benefit Plan or otherwise.  No provision of this Agreement shall constitute an amendment to any Company Employee Plan or Acquiror Benefit Plan.

5.18  Termination of Financing Statements.  During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause (a) each Person holding a security interest in any assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to execute and deliver all documentation required to terminate such security interest upon payment in full of the Indebtedness giving rise to such security interest, and (b) a UCC-2 or UCC-3 termination statement, as applicable, to be filed immediately after payment of the Indebtedness giving rise to the security interest underlying each filed but unexpired UCC-1 financing statement naming the Company or a Company Subsidiary as debtor.

5.19  The Closing Statement, Consideration Spreadsheet and Documents.  The Company shall prepare and deliver to Acquiror a draft, in good faith, of each of the Closing Statement and the Consideration Spreadsheet not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  In addition, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Acquiror at or prior to the Closing the final Closing Statement and the Consideration Spreadsheet.  Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing or the provisions of Section 5.9, the Company shall provide to Acquiror, promptly after Acquiror’s request, copies of the documents or instruments evidencing the amounts set forth on any such draft or final certificate.

5.20  Indemnification.

(a)  From and after the Effective Time, Acquiror will, and Acquiror will cause the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to the indemnification provisions under the Organizational Documents or Company Subsidiary Organizational Documents and under any indemnification agreements between the Company and any Company Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in each case as in effect on the Agreement Date (the Persons to be indemnified pursuant to the provisions referred to in this Section 5.20 shall be referred to as, collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”).  The Organizational Documents and the Subsidiary Organizational Documents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries on the Agreement Date shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Company Indemnified Party.

49

(b)  From and after the Effective Time, Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation shall assume the existing indemnification agreements of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for the benefit of the Persons indemnified thereunder.

(c)  The Company will cause to be put in place “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and scope of at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies (or in such amount and scope as may otherwise be approved by Acquiror in writing prior to the Closing) with respect to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring or prior to the Closing (the “D&O Tail Policy”).

(d)  The obligations of Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.20 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.20 applies without the written consent of each affected Company Indemnified Party.

(e)  The provisions of this Section 5.20 shall be in addition to any other rights available to the Company Indemnified Parties, shall survive the Effective Time and are expressly intended for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company Indemnified Parties are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.20.

5.21  Transfer Taxes.  Each of Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Company Holders, on the other hand, shall be responsible for the payment of 50% of any transfer, sales, use, documentary, stamp, registration, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) that arise by reason of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”).  The party or parties responsible for the timely remittance of any such Transfer Taxes to the appropriate Tax Authority and filing any necessary Tax Returns or other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes will, at such party or parties’ expense, remit such Transfer Taxes and file such Tax Returns and other documentation.  To the extent Transfer Taxes are actually collected from Acquiror or the Company in excess of the amount of Transfer Taxes to be borne by Acquiror pursuant to this Section 5.21, the Company Holders agree to reduce the Total Merger Consideration by the amount of such excess Transfer Taxes, and, if no portion of the Total Merger Consideration is then due from Acquiror, the Company Holders’ Agent (on behalf of the Company Holders) shall remit to Acquiror an amount equal to such excess Transfer Taxes.  To the extent Transfer Taxes are actually collected from the Company Holders in excess of the amount of Transfer Taxes to be borne by the Company Holders pursuant to this Section 5.21, Acquiror shall remit to the Company Holders’ Agent an amount equal to such excess Transfer Taxes.

5.22  Tax Covenants.

(a)  Tax Returns.

(i)  The Company Holders’ Agent shall prepare or cause to be prepared all income Tax Returns of the Company and each Company Subsidiary for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (the “Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns”).  The Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.  No later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing any such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return, the Company Holders’ Agent shall deliver a copy of such Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to Acquiror for its review and reasonable comment.  Acquiror will cause such Tax Return (as revised to incorporate Acquiror’s reasonable comments that are reasonably acceptable to the Company Holders’ Agent) to be timely filed and will provide a copy to the Company Holders’ Agent.

50

(ii)  Acquiror shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns (other than any Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns) of the Company and each Company Subsidiary for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods, in each case, required to be filed after the Closing Date (the “Other Company Tax Returns”).  The Other Company Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.  Reasonably in advance of filing, Acquiror shall deliver a copy of such Other Company Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to the Company Holders’ Agent for its review and reasonable comment.  Acquiror will cause such Tax Return (as revised to incorporate the Shareholders’ Agent’s reasonable comments that are reasonably acceptable to Acquiror) to be timely filed and will provide a copy to the Company Holders’ Agent.

(b)  Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that is attributable to the portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date will be:

(i)  in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible, or intangible), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable as computed on a “closing of the books” basis if the relevant Straddle Period of the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary (and each partnership in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a partner) ended with (and included) the Closing Date; provided, that exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) will be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the remainder of such Straddle Period in proportion to the number of days in each period; and

(ii)  in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets or capital of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(c)  Cooperation. The parties hereto will cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes (each a “Tax Proceeding”) imposed on or with respect to the assets, operations, or activities of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  The parties hereto further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on Acquiror or the Company or any Company Subsidiary (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).  

(d)  Tax Proceedings.  Acquiror or its Affiliates shall provide the Company Holders’ Agent with notice of any Tax Proceeding that relates to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period within twenty (20) days of the receipt of such notice.  Acquiror shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the Company in any such Tax Proceeding, to employ counsel of its choice, and to settle any issues and to take any other actions in connection with such proceedings relating to such taxable periods; provided, however, that if any such Tax Proceeding could give rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 (as reasonably determined by Acquiror), (i) Acquiror shall inform the Company Holders’ Agent of the status of any such proceedings and shall provide Acquiror with copies of any pleadings,

51

correspondence, and other documents as the Company Holders’ Agent may reasonably request, (ii) the Company Holders’ Agent shall be entitled to participate (at the Company Holders’ expense) in any such proceedings and (iii) Acquiror shall consult with and obtain the consent of the Company Holders’ Agent prior to the settlement of any such proceedings (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e)  Tax Refunds. The Company Holders shall have the right to (A) any Tax refunds received by the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (and not attributable to the carryback of any loss or other attribute from a Tax period (or portion of any Straddle Period) beginning on or after the Closing Date) or (B) any credits against Taxes in lieu of refunds described in clause (A). Acquiror shall pay such amounts to the Company Holders no later than twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of such Tax refunds (or use of such credit to reduce cash Taxes otherwise due), net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Acquiror in procuring such refund.

(f)  Post-Closing Actions.

(i)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Acquiror shall be entitled to control and take any actions it deems appropriate with respect to amending any previously filed Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, filing Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction where the Company has not historically filed Tax Returns, and initiating discussions or examinations with any Governmental Entity regarding Taxes with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided that, Acquiror shall (A) allow the Company Holders’ Agent to participate in any such proceeding and (B) not settle or compromise of any such proceeding without the prior consent of the Company Holders’ Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(ii)  Neither Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates shall or shall cause the Company to (x) make or change any Tax elections that are effective for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (y) change any accounting method or adopt any convention that shifts taxable income from a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date or shifts deductions or losses from a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) to a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), without the prior written consent of the Company Holders’ Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  In addition, Acquiror and its Affiliates shall not make and shall not cause the Company to make an election pursuant to Sections 338 or 336(e) of the Code with respect to the Merger.

8.1  Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.  Each party hereto shall have the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other parties hereto contained in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered by any other party hereto at the Closing without regard to investigation or knowledge (except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter).  If the Merger is consummated, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Article VIII, all of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and the Company Closing Certificate shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date that is the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date (and shall have no further force or effect thereafter and any related rights to indemnification in this Article VIII shall terminate) (the “Holdback Period”); provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.1 (Organization, Standing and Power), Section 2.4 (Authority and Enforceability), Section 2.5 (Non-Contravention) (other than clause (ii) of Section 2.5(b)), Section 2.6 (Consents; Approvals; Permits), Section 2.8 (Capital Structure), Section 2.19 (Taxes), Section 2.28 (Finders’ Fees; Transaction Expenses), and in the Company Closing Certificate regarding any matter set forth in such sections of this Agreement pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (the “Fundamental Representations”), will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties to this Agreement (except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter), until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations plus a period of thirty (30) days, or if no statute of limitations is applicable, for ten (10) years (and shall have no further force or effect thereafter and any related rights to indemnification in this Article VIII shall terminate); provided, further, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.17 (Intellectual Property) (the “IP Representations”), will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties to this Agreement (except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter), until the date that is the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the Closing Date (and shall have no further force or effect thereafter and any related rights to indemnification in this Article VIII shall terminate). No right to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII in respect of any claim that is set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Company Holders’ Agent in good faith prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period or applicable survival period hereunder, as appropriate, shall be affected by the expiration of such representations and warranties; and provided, further, that such expiration shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Person under Article VIII or otherwise to seek recovery of Damages arising out of any fraud by the Company. If the Merger is consummated, the representations and warranties of Acquiror contained in this Agreement and the other certificates contemplated hereby shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing.  If the

56

Merger is consummated, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Article VIII, all other covenants and agreements of the parties (including the covenants and agreements set forth in Article IV and Article V and the matters specified in Section 8.2(a)(iv)-(xiv)) shall survive until the tenth anniversary of the Closing or for the period explicitly specified therein (and shall have no further force or effect thereafter and any related rights to indemnification in this Article VIII shall terminate); provided, however, that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII in respect of any claim based upon any breach of a covenant or agreement shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant; provided, further, that the Indemnified Persons’ right to indemnification for Company Holder Taxes will remain operative and in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations plus a period of thirty (30) days (and shall have no further force or effect thereafter and any related rights to indemnification in this Article VIII shall terminate).

8.2  Indemnification.

(a)  Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Article VIII, from and after the Effective Time, each Indemnifying Person, severally and not jointly, pro rata in accordance with such Indemnifying Person’s Pro Rata Share, shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from, against and in respect of, and shall pay and reimburse the Indemnified Persons for the amount of, any and all Damages directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a third party claim, incurred or sustained by or imposed upon the Indemnified Persons arising out of, based upon, incurred in, related to, resulting from or with respect to or by reason of any of the following:

(i)  any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement to be true and correct as of the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Agreement Date (except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date or dates);

(ii)  any pre-Closing breach of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement;

(iii)  any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Company Closing Certificate to be true and correct as of the date such certificate is delivered to Acquiror;

(v)  any inaccuracies in the Closing Statement or the Consideration Spreadsheet;

(vi)  any and all Company Holder Taxes;

(vii)  any Indemnifiable Transaction Expenses;

(viii)  any amount by which actual Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Minimum;

57

(x)  any claims relating to the payments to Company Holders made in connection with the allocation of the Total Merger Consideration, including those amounts set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet prepared by the Company and delivered to Acquiror pursuant to this Agreement;

(xi)  the fraud of the Company in connection with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made in this Agreement by the Company or the fraud of such Company Holder;

(xii)  any claims by any Company Holder relating to the appointment by the Company Holders of the Company Holders’ Agent, any dispute regarding the authority of the Company Holders’ Agent to bind or represent any Company Holder as provided in Section 8.7 or the exercise of the authority of the Company Holders’ Agent;

(xiii)  any Company Debt either (A) not included on the Closing Statement and paid by Acquiror at Closing or (B) not paid by the Company prior to the Closing Date (with such payment being reflected as a reduction in Company Cash in the Closing or other assets in the Net Working Capital calculation); and  

(xiv)  any matter set forth on Schedule 8.2(a) to the Disclosure Letter.

(b)  The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2(a) shall be subject to each of the following principles or qualifications:

(i)  No claim for the recovery of Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) may be asserted by any Indemnified Person against the Holdback Fund after the expiration of the Holdback Period; provided, however, that claims first asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity in writing prior to such expiration in an Officer’s Certificate shall survive the expiration of the Holdback Period.

(ii)  In respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(a)(iii) (other than claims based upon a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations), the Indemnifying Persons shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Person unless and until Damages have been incurred, paid or properly accrued in an aggregate amount greater than $100,000 (the “Basket”). Once the Basket has been exceeded, the Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover for all indemnifiable Damages under Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(a)(iii) reverting back to the first dollar, subject to the other limitations set forth herein.

(iii)  In respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(a)(iii) (other than claims based upon a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations), the Indemnifying Persons shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Person unless and until Damages for such breach exceeds $5,000 (the “Minimum Claim”) (it being understood and agreed that if a common or similar set of occurrences, events or sets of facts results in Damages, such Damages shall be aggregated for purposes of determining if the Minimum Claim has been satisfied); provided, that the Minimum Claim limitation shall be disregarded in the event that the Indemnified Persons suffer aggregate Damages in excess of $100,000 that are otherwise not recoverable by reason of the Minimum Claim limitation.

(iv)  In respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(a)(iii) (other than claims based upon a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations or the IP Representations), the aggregate liability of the Indemnifying Persons for such claims shall not exceed the Holdback Amount.

58

(v)  Subject to Section 8.2(b)(vii), in respect of any other claim or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (except for those covered by Section 8.2(b)(iii)), the Indemnifying Persons will be liable on a several and not joint basis, and in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, up to the aggregate amount of Total Merger Consideration actually received by such Indemnifying Person.

(vi)  Subject to Section 8.2(b)(vii), in no event shall any Indemnifying Person be liable under this Agreement, including all recoveries pursuant to any and all claims under this Agreement, in the aggregate, for amounts in excess of the consideration actually received by such Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Agreement.

(vii)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement will prevent an Indemnified Person from instituting an action or pursuing any other remedy against an Indemnifying Person for any fraud by such Indemnifying Person, or limit the aggregate amount which such Indemnified Person may recover in the case of any such fraud by such Indemnifying Person.

(viii)  The amount of any Damages that are subject to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be calculated net of the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with such Damages or any of the events or circumstances giving rise or otherwise related to such Damages, net of all deductibles, co-payments, retro-premium obligations and premium increases attributable thereto and all costs of collection of any such proceeds.  

(ix)  Qualifications as to (A) materiality using the term “material” (or any variation thereof) or Material Adverse Effect in any representation or warranty or (B) knowledge using the term “to the Knowledge of the Company” (or any variation thereof) in any representation or warranty in Section 2.17 only (other than with respect to Section 2.17(f)), shall be disregarded both for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representation or warranty (or failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct) exists and determining the amount of any Damages with respect to such breach or failure to be true and correct.

(x)  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to indemnification based on any representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(xi)  Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the same set of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.  

(xii)  All Damages in respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(a)(iii) (other than those arising out of the Fundamental Representations or the IP Representations) shall be paid, first, out of the Holdback Amount, and second, by the Indemnifying Persons, severally and not jointly, pro rata in accordance with such Indemnifying Person’s Pro Rata Share.

(xiii)  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification under this Article VIII with respect to any Damages to the extent such Damages are duplicative of Damages that have previously been recovered (including, without limitation, amounts taken into account in the calculation of the Total Merger Consideration or Net Working Capital).

59

(xiv)  For purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Company acknowledge and agree (i) that they are not entitled to rely on any representations or warranties or other statements of fact or opinion, other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Disclosure Letter and (ii) that in connection with the transactions set forth herein, Acquiror and Merger Sub have received certain estimates, projections, forecasts and similar forward-looking statements relating to the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and no representation or warranty is being made by or on behalf of the Company with respect to such matters; provided, that the parties to this Agreement agree and acknowledge that the preceding representation shall not be deemed to limit the liability of any Person for, or disclaim any reliance by Acquiror and Merger Sub with respect to, any fraud.  

(xv)  Subject to Section 8.2(b)(vii), indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages by the Indemnified Persons for all matters for which indemnification may be brought under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.

8.3  Holdback Fund.

(a)  Acquiror shall retain the Holdback Amount for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VIII (the “Holdback Fund”).  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, no interest shall accrue or be due and owing to any Company Holder in any respect in connection with the Holdback Fund.

(b)  Within three (3) Business Days following the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Release Date”), Acquiror shall pay and distribute from the Holdback Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent for further payment to (i) the Company Stockholders and Company Noteholders and (ii) the Surviving Corporation for further payment to the Company Optionholders (in each case, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Holdback Shares) an amount equal to $1,000,000 less (i) any amounts which have been retained from the Holdback Fund prior to such date and (ii) the aggregate amount of any pending, potential claim, or other claim for which any Indemnified Person shall have made a claim pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 8.4, and for which recovery shall not have been satisfied from the Holdback Fund (the “Outstanding Holdback Claims”).  

(c)  Within three (3) Business Days following the twenty-four month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Second Release Date”), Acquiror shall pay and distribute, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent for further payment to (i) the Company Stockholder and Company Noteholders and (ii) the Surviving Corporation for further payment to the Company Optionholders (in each case, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Holdback Shares) an amount equal to all funds then remaining in the Holdback Fund, less the aggregate amount of any Outstanding Holdback Claims. As soon as any Outstanding Holdback Claim that is unresolved as of the Second Release Date is resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article VIII and the appropriate amount of funds from the Holdback Fund are delivered to the Indemnified Person in respect of such resolved Outstanding Holdback Claim, Acquiror shall pay and distribute by wire transfer to the Paying Agent for further payment to (i) the Company Stockholder and Company Noteholders and (ii) the Surviving Corporation for further payment to the Company Optionholders (in each case, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Holdback Shares) the remaining funds held in the Holdback Fund, if any, less any unresolved Outstanding Holdback Claims.

60

8.4  Claims.

(a)  If Acquiror determines that any Indemnified Person has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, Acquiror may deliver to the Company Holders’ Agent a certificate signed by any officer of Acquiror (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(a) (an “Officer’s Certificate”)):

(i)  stating that an Indemnified Person has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII;

(ii)  stating the amount of such Damages (which, in the case of Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved, or accrued, may be the maximum amount reasonably anticipated by Acquiror in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, or accrued); and

(iii)  specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Acquiror) the material facts known to the Indemnified Person giving rise to such claim.

(b)  No delay in providing such Officer’s Certificate within the applicable survival period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Company Holders’ Agent or the Company Holders are materially prejudiced thereby.

(c)  If, within thirty (30) days after the date on which Acquiror delivers an Officer’s Certificate, the Company Holders’ Agent shall not have given written notice to Acquiror setting forth in detail any objection of the Company Holders’ Agent to such claim, then such claim for indemnification and the amount of Damages in such Officer’s Certificate will be deemed admitted by the Company Holders, and the Company Holders will indemnify the applicable Indemnified Person for such Damages pursuant to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Article VIII.

(d)  After the expiration of the applicable period in Section 8.4(c), then (i) with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(a)(iii) (with the exception of claims based upon a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Fundamental Representations or the IP Representations), Acquiror shall recover the amount of such Damages from, and only from, the Holdback Fund and (ii) with respect to all other claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, (A) Acquiror (at Acquiror’s sole option and discretion) shall either retain all or a portion of such Damages from the Holdback Fund or (B) the Company Holders shall pay all or a portion of such Damages in immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days of Acquiror’s request. No such retention or demand of payment shall be made if and to the extent the Company Holders’ Agent has raised bona fide good faith objections in a written statement to any claim or claims made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such written statement shall have been delivered to Acquiror prior to the expiration of such applicable period.  

8.5  Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a)  If the Company Holders’ Agent raises bona fide good faith objections in writing to any claim or claims by Acquiror made in any Officer’s Certificate within such 30-day period, Acquiror and the Company Holders’ Agent shall attempt in good faith for forty-five (45) days after Acquiror’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection.  If Acquiror and the Company Holders’ Agent shall so agree, (i) Acquiror shall retain all or a portion of such Damages from the Holdback Fund and/or (ii) the Company Holders shall pay all or a portion of such Damages in immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days of Acquiror’s request.

61

(b)  If no such agreement can be reached during the 45-day period for good faith negotiation, but in any event upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Acquiror or the Company Holders’ Agent may bring suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, New Castle County, or to the extent such court declines jurisdiction, first to any federal court, and second to any state court, each located in the Count of Wilmington, State of Delaware to resolve the matter.

(c)  Judgment upon any award rendered by a trial court of competent jurisdiction may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  For purposes of this Section 8.5(c), in any suit hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Officer’s Certificate is at issue, Acquiror shall be deemed to be the non‑prevailing party unless the applicable court awards Acquiror at least one‑half of the amount in dispute, in which case the Company Holders shall be deemed to be the non‑prevailing party.  The non‑prevailing party to a suit shall pay its own fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit.

8.6  Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a)  With respect to any Proceeding brought by, or the discovery of Liability accruing in favor of, a third party against Acquiror or another Indemnified Person that is based on, arises out of, or relates to subject matter that, if determined adversely to Acquiror or such other Indemnified Person (regardless of the eventual outcome of such Action), could result in a claim for indemnification under this Agreement (in each case, a “Third Party Claim”), Acquiror shall notify the Company Holders’ Agent in writing of any Third Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the claimed Damages in an Officer’s Certificate (to the extent then known). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from Acquiror with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Company Holders’ Agent may assume the defense of such matter; provided, however, that (i) the Company Holders’ Agent shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to Acquiror, (ii) Acquiror may participate in the defense of such claim, at its own expense, with co-counsel of its choice to the extent that Acquiror believes, in its sole discretion, that such matter shall affect its ongoing business, and (iii) the Company Holders’ Agent may not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter which does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Person from all liability and obligations with respect thereto without any obligation on the part of the Indemnified Person.  If, within such thirty (30) day period, the Company Holders’ Agent does not assume the defense of such matter, the Indemnified Person may defend against the matter in any manner that it reasonably may deem appropriate and may consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the consent of the Indemnifying Person (provided that the amount of such settlement shall not be determinative of the amount of Damages that the Indemnified Person may be entitled to hereunder as a result of such Third Party Claim).

(b)  The parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim, regardless of whether the investigation, defense and settlement of such Third-Party Claim is being conducted by the Indemnified Persons or the Company Holders.  If the Company Holders elect to control the investigation, defense or settlement of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.6(b), Acquiror shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim and the Company Holders’ Agent shall provide Acquiror the opportunity to consult with and participate in, but not determine, control or conduct, the defense of the Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third-Party Claim, all at the sole expense of Acquiror.  If the Company Holders do not elect to defend a Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.6(a), Company Holders’ Agent shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnified Person shall provide the Company Holders’ Agent the opportunity to consult with and participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of the Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third-Party Claim, all at the sole expense of the Company Holders’ Agent.

62

(c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conduct of any Tax Proceeding with respect to the Company shall be governed by Section 5.22(d), rather than this Section 8.6.

8.7  Company Holders’ Agent.

(a)  At the Closing, Aspect Ventures II, L.P. shall be constituted and appointed as the Company Holders’ Agent.  Aspect Ventures II, L.P. hereby accepts its appointment as the Company Holders’ Agent.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Holders’ Agent” means the agent for and on behalf of the Company Holders to: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from Acquiror (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by such Company Holders individually); (ii) authorize deliveries to Acquiror to retain cash from the Holdback Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Acquiror (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims); (iii) object to such claims pursuant to Section 8.4; (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, such claims; (v) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement; and (vi) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Company Holders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance.  The Person serving as the Company Holders’ Agent may be replaced from time to time by the Company Holders holding of a majority of the aggregate Pro Rata Shares upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Acquiror.  No bond shall be required of the Company Holders’ Agent, and the Company Holders’ Agent shall receive no compensation for its services.

(b)  The Company Holders’ Agent shall not be liable to any former Company Holder for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Company Holders’ Agent without gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the bona fide good faith advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the Company Holders shall severally indemnify the Company Holders’ Agent and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Company Holders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Company Holders’ Agent.  If not paid directly to the Company Holders’ Agent by the Company Holders, such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Company Holders’ Agent from the Holdback Fund otherwise distributable to the Company Holders (and not distributed or distributable to an Indemnified Person or subject to a pending indemnification claim of an Indemnified Person) after the expiration of the Holdback Period, pursuant to the terms hereof, at the time of distribution, and such recovery will be made from the Company Holders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(c)  Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Company Holders’ Agent that is within the scope of the Company Holders’ Agent’s authority under Section 8.7(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Company Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Company Holder; and each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Company Holder.

63

(d)  In connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Company Holders’ Agent shall have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage, at the cost and expense of the Company Holders, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, consultants and clerical personnel and obtain such other professional and expert assistance, and maintain such records, as the Company Holders’ Agent may deem necessary or desirable and incur other out-of-pocket expenses related to performing its services hereunder.

(e)  All of the immunities and powers granted to the Company Holders’ Agent under this Agreement shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.  The grant of authority provided for in this Section 8.7 (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of the respective Company Holder and shall be binding on any successor thereto and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Company Holder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Holdback Fund.

8.8  Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated by the parties as adjustments to the Total Merger Consideration, including for U.S. federal and applicable state income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.
