Section 2.05           Surviving Company’s Organizational Documents.  At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of the Company shall be amended in their entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit D hereto, and, as so amended, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.  The bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

Section 2.07           Effect on Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without action on the part of any of Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company or its shareholders, the following shall occur:

(a)           Conversion of Company Stock.  Each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Stock (“Dissenting Shares”) that are held by shareholders exercising dissenters’ rights pursuant to Section 23B.13 of the WBCA (“Dissenting Shareholders”), which are provided for in Section 2.10), shall be cancelled, retired and shall cease to exist and shall be converted into and represent, upon surrender of a Certificate formerly representing such share in the manner provided in this Agreement, the right to receive the following amounts:

(i)            in the case of a share of Series B Preferred, an amount equal to the amount per share determined according to, and subject to the payment provisions set forth in, Schedule X;

(ii)           in the case of a share of Series A Preferred, the amount per share determined according to, and subject to the payment provisions set forth in, Schedule X; and

(b)           Conversion of Company Options and Warrants.  Each Company Option and each Company Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated and shall be automatically converted into and represent the right to receive the consideration set forth in Section 2.11.

(c)           Merger Sub.  At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and be exchanged for one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company.

Section 2.08           Calculation and Payment of the Closing Date Consideration.

(a)           The consideration for all of the Company Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants shall be comprised of all of the amounts payable under Schedule X (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).  The Merger Consideration shall be paid in accordance with Schedule X, Section 2.07, this Section 2.08, Section 2.11, Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 2.15.

(b)           At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver to Parent and Merger Sub a schedule setting forth (i) the portion of the Closing Date Consideration payable to each Shareholder that is not an Executive Shareholder, (ii) the portion of the Closing Date Consideration payable to each Shareholder that is an Executive Shareholder, which amount shall be paid (A) in the case of Rick Hennessey and Scott Weller, 75% in cash and 25% in Parent Shares and (B) in the case of Scott Frodle and Mark Gosselin, 50% in cash and 50% in Parent Shares, with all such Parent Shares issued to the Executive Shareholders (the “Stock Consideration”) in each case valued at the Closing Date Reference Price and rounded down to the nearest whole share, (iii) the Company Debt Amount as of the Closing Date, and (iv) the estimated Company Transaction Costs payable at Closing (including the Person to whom such Company Transaction Costs are payable) (the

14

“Allocation Schedule”).  For purposes of the Allocation Schedule, the portion of the Closing Date Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Stock shall be determined as if the “fair value” of the Dissenting Shares were equal to the portion of the Merger Consideration that would have been paid to the Dissenting Shareholders in connection with Closing in respect of such shares if the holders of such shares did not constitute Dissenting Shareholders.

(c)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) pay, or cause to be paid, an amount equal to the Closing Date Consideration less an amount equal to the Stock Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Shareholder Representative at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing for the benefit of the Shareholders, (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, the Dissenting Shareholder Payment Amount (if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company for payment to any Dissenting Shareholder in accordance with Section 2.10, (iii) pay, or cause to be paid, the Company Transaction Costs to an account (or accounts) designated by the Company for payment to the applicable Persons set forth in the Allocation Schedule, (iv) pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, the Company Debt Amount to be repaid to the party or parties entitled thereto pursuant to the Payoff Letters; (v) issue and deliver the certificates representing the Stock Consideration to the Company for the benefit of the Executive Shareholders entitled to receive the same, and (vi) deposit the Escrow Amount and the Shareholder Representative Fund with the Escrow Agent as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

(d)           Subject to Section 2.13(b), on the Escrow Release Date, the Escrow Agent shall release the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount to the Shareholder Representative, for and on behalf of the Shareholders, to be distributed as set forth in Schedule X (the amount paid to a Shareholder under this subsection (d), the “Per Share Escrow Portion”).

(e)           On the later of (i) the Business Day immediately following the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the Business Day immediately following the final resolution of all Pending Claims, if the balance of the Shareholder Representative Fund is in excess of $250,000, the Shareholder Representative shall promptly give notice to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release the portion of the balance of the Shareholder Representative Fund that is in excess of $250,000, and the Shareholder Representative shall promptly distribute such amount to the Shareholders.  In addition, at such time as the Earn Out Period has passed, all Gross Margin Dispute Notices (if any) have been resolved and all Pending Claims (if any) have been resolved, the Shareholder Representative shall promptly give notice to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release the balance of the Shareholder Representative Fund, and the Shareholder Representative shall promptly distribute such amount to the Shareholders.  In each case, the funds released from the Shareholder Representative Fund and paid to the Shareholders shall be distributed as set forth in Schedule X (the amounts paid to a Shareholder under this subsection (e), the “Per Share Shareholder Representative Fund Portion”):

Section 2.09           Exchange Procedures.

(a)           Surrender Procedures.  At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause to be mailed to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”), (i) a letter of transmittal (including an appropriate IRS form W-9 or W-8) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration (collectively, the “Transmittal Instructions”).  The Transmittal Instructions shall be in a form and substance acceptable to Parent and the Company.  Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Company together with such Transmittal Instructions, properly completed and duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor their share of the Merger

15

Consideration and the Stock Consideration (if any) as specified in the Allocation Schedule and as provided for in Section 2.08 (less any amounts paid to Parent pursuant to Section 2.13 or to the Shareholder Representative pursuant to Section 5.07). No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender of a Certificate.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Stock is presented to the Company, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.09(a), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration or the right to demand to be paid the “fair value” of the shares represented thereby (plus accrued interest, if required under Section 23B.13 of the WBCA) as contemplated by Section 2.10.

(b)           No Further Rights in the Company Stock.  As of the Effective Time, all Company Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, except for the right to receive (i) the consideration provided under this Agreement and (ii) in the case of Company Stock on the relevant record date, any dividend or other distribution with respect to Company Stock with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time.

(c)           Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to the former holders of the Company Stock for twelve (12) consecutive months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of the Company Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.09 shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Company to claim the Merger Consideration owed to them hereunder, without interest thereon.

(d)           No Liability.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder of Company Stock for any cash or other payment delivered to a Governmental Authority pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(e)           Withholding Rights.

(i)            Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and the Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or the Shareholder Representative is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other provision of applicable Law, and Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or the Shareholder Representative shall timely pay over such withheld amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority.  Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as paid to such Person for all purposes of this Agreement.

(ii)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, amounts payable to holders of Company Options in accordance with Schedule X, Section 2.08, Section 2.11, Section 2.14 and Section 2.15 shall be paid to a special distribution account at the Surviving Company’s then designated payroll service, which shall distribute such amounts (less any applicable deductions and withholdings) to the persons who are or were the holders of Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.  The Surviving Company shall be responsible for the proper reporting to the appropriate Taxing Authority and such holders of compensation arising from the payment of such amounts (and the amount of any Stock Consideration paid to any such holders) contemplated herein.  The Shareholder Representative, the Company, the

16

Surviving Company and Parent shall cooperate fully and in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties to further the intent of this Section 2.09(e)(ii).

(f)            Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificate.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if requested by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, the Company will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Company Stock represented by such Certificate.

Section 2.10           Dissenters’ Rights.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Dissenting Shareholder shall demand to be paid the “fair value” of its Dissenting Shares, as provided in Section 23B.13 of the WBCA, such Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (except as provided in this Section 2.10) and shall entitle such Dissenting Shareholder only to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares (plus accrued interest, if required under Section 23B.13 of the WBCA), in accordance with Section 23B.13 of the WBCA, unless and until such Dissenting Shareholder withdraws or effectively loses the right to dissent.  The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment of fair value of Dissenting Shares prior to the Effective Time.  The Company shall give Parent notice thereof prior to the Effective Time and Parent shall have the right to participate at its own expense in all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to any such demands.  If any Dissenting Shareholder shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, then as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, the Dissenting Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder shall be cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.08, the Company shall forward to the Shareholder Representative for distribution to the Dissenting Shareholder the portion of the Dissenting Shareholder Payment Amounts allocable to such Dissenting Shareholder in respect of such Dissenting Shares, and such Dissenting Shareholder shall be considered to be a “Shareholder” hereunder.

Section 2.11           Company Options and Company Warrants.   At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action necessary (including any necessary determinations and/or resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof) such that at the Effective Time, each Company Option and each Company Warrant, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.11 without limitation.  In addition to the foregoing, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate all equity incentive plans of the Company, effective not later than immediately prior to, and subject to the occurrence of, the Effective Time.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option and each Company Warrant, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto shall become fully vested and exercisable.  Immediately following the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Options and Company Warrants that have not been exercised as of the Effective Time shall cease to be exercisable and shall automatically be terminated and retired without any further action of the Company, Parent or the Surviving Company, and each holder of any such Company Option or Company Warrant shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration set forth in Schedule X, subject to the withholding rights provision in Section 2.09(e).

Section 2.12           Stock Transfer Books.  At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock theretofore outstanding on the records of the Company.  From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by Law.  On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates

17

presented to the Company or Parent for any reason shall be converted into a portion of the Merger Consideration except as otherwise provided herein or by Law.

Section 2.13           Escrow.

(a)           The Escrow Amount shall be used to satisfy (i) Losses, if any, for which any Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or reimbursement in accordance with Article IX hereof; (ii) payments, if any, made by the Surviving Corporation to all Dissenting Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.10, but only to the extent that such payments, in aggregate, exceed the Dissenting Shareholder Payment Amount; and (iii) the amount of any post-Closing adjustments owed by the Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.14.

(b)           Subject to Article IX, the Escrow Agent shall release the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount to the Shareholder Representative (for payment to the Shareholders in accordance with Section 2.08(d)) on the first Business Day which is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”); provided that if on the Escrow Release Date any claim by any Parent Indemnified Party has been made that could result in Losses and Parent has notified the Shareholder Representative of such claim in writing (a “Pending Claim”), then there shall be withheld from the distribution to the Shareholder Representative an amount of the Escrow Amount necessary to cover all Losses potentially resulting from all such Pending Claims until final resolution of each such Pending Claim in accordance with Article IX hereof.

Section 2.14           Working Capital Adjustments.

(a)           Estimated Working Capital Statement.  Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent and Merger Sub a statement (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Statement”) executed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer setting forth an estimate, as of the close of business on the Closing Date, of the Working Capital of the Company (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”).  The Estimated Net Working Capital Statement shall be based upon the books and records of the Company, shall include a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis consistent with the methodologies, practices, principles and estimates used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements, to the extent applicable, and in a manner consistent with the example calculation as of June 30, 2010 set forth in Exhibit G.

(b)           Closing Date Adjustment.  If the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than Target Net Working Capital, then the Closing Date Consideration to be paid at Closing will be reduced (on a dollar for dollar basis) by an amount equal to such shortfall (such amount, the “Estimated Negative Net Working Capital Adjustment”).  If the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital, then the Closing Date Consideration to be paid at Closing will be increased (on a dollar for dollar basis) by an amount equal to such excess (such amount, the “Estimated Positive Net Working Capital Adjustment”).  If the Estimated Net Working Capital is equal to the Target Net Working Capital, then the Closing Date Consideration will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.14(b).  The Closing Date Consideration to be paid at Closing, as determined after the adjustments made in this Section 2.14(b), is referred to herein as the “Estimated Closing Date Consideration.”

(c)           As promptly as practicable (but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date), Parent shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative a statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) setting forth a calculation, with reasonable supporting detail, of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Final Net Working Capital”).  The Final Net Working Capital shall be based upon the books and records of the Company, shall include a

18

balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis consistent with the methodologies, practices, principles and estimates used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements, to the extent applicable, and in a manner consistent with the example calculation as of June 30, 2010 set forth in Exhibit G.

(d)           Until such time as the calculation of the amounts shown on the Closing Date Statement are final, binding and conclusive on the parties in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Shareholder Representative and its accountants shall be permitted to discuss with Parent and the Surviving Company and their respective accountants (with such accountants’ consent) the proposed Closing Date Statement, and shall be provided copies of, and have access upon reasonable notice at all reasonable times during normal business hours to, the work papers (provided the Shareholder Representative has delivered a release satisfactory to the accounting firm which prepared the working papers if so requested by such accounting firm) and supporting records of Parent and the Surviving Company so as to allow the Shareholder Representative and its accountants to become informed concerning all matters relating to the preparation of the Closing Date Statement and the accounting procedures, methodologies, tests and approaches being used in connection therewith.  If the Shareholder Representative has any objections to the Closing Date Statement as prepared by Parent, the Shareholder Representative shall, within thirty (30) days after the Shareholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Date Statement (the “Notice Period”), give written notice (the “Notice”) to Parent, and to the extent practicable based on the information available, specifying in reasonable detail such objections and the basis therefor.  If the Shareholder Representative does not deliver the Notice within such thirty (30) day period, Parent’s determinations on the Closing Date Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company, Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) and Parent.  If the Shareholder Representative provides a Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then (i) any amounts on the Closing Date Statement not objected to in the Notice shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company, Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) and Parent and (ii) the Shareholder Representative and Parent shall negotiate during the thirty (30) day period (the “Resolution Period”) after the date of Parent’s receipt of the Notice to resolve any disputes regarding the amounts set forth in the Notice.  If the Shareholder Representative and Parent are unable to resolve all such disputes within the Resolution Period, then within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Resolution Period, all unresolved disputes shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm mutually satisfactory to Parent and the Shareholder Representative (the “Neutral Accountant”), who shall be engaged to provide a final, binding and conclusive resolution of all unresolved disputes within thirty (30) Business Days after such engagement.  Within ten (10) days after the Neutral Accountant is appointed, Parent shall forward a copy of the Closing Date Statement to the Neutral Accountant, and the Shareholder Representative shall forward a copy of the Notice, as well as, in each case, any relevant supporting documentation.  The Neutral Accountant’s role shall be limited to resolving such objections.  In resolving such objections, the Neutral Accountant shall apply the provisions of this Agreement concerning determination of the Closing Date Statement.  The Neutral Accountant shall promptly provide written notice of its resolution of such objections to Parent and Shareholder Representative and the resulting adjustments shall be deemed finally determined for purposes of Section 2.14.  The Neutral Accountant shall be instructed to use reasonable efforts to perform its services within thirty (30) days of submission of the statement(s) and objection(s) to it and, in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission.  In resolving any disputed item, the Neutral Accountant:  (x) shall limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Notice as a disputed item, (y) shall further limit its review to whether the Closing Date Statement is mathematically accurate and has been prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (z) shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party.  If the Neutral Accountant selected as described above is unable or unwilling to act when called upon pursuant to this Section, then the parties shall promptly appoint a substitute to act in substitution for the original designee (or if no substitute is so appointed within fifteen (15) days, then such dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator, sitting in Seattle,

19

Washington, appointed by the American Arbitration Association upon application by the parties), and, upon acceptance of such appointment, such substitute, or arbitrator so appointed, shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the Neutral Accountant, as applicable, and the time periods prescribed above in this Section 2.14(d) shall run from the date of such substitute’s or arbitrator’s acceptance of appointment hereunder. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne by the parties in proportion to the amounts by which their proposals differed from the Neutral Accountant’s final determination.  In connection with the resolution of any dispute, each party (the Shareholder Representative on one hand and Parent on the other) shall pay its own fees and expenses (provided that the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to be reimbursed or advanced such fees and expenses from the Shareholder Representative Fund as provided in Section 5.07), including without limitation, legal, accounting and consultant fees and expenses.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any disputes regarding amounts shown in the Closing Date Statement shall be resolved as set forth in this Section 2.14(d).

(e)           Within three (3) Business Days after the Final Net Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.14(d) the Parent and Shareholder Representative shall determine the amount by which the Closing Date Consideration would have been adjusted pursuant to Section 2.14(b) had the Final Net Working Capital been substituted for the Estimated Net Working Capital as of Closing.

(i)            If such substitution would have resulted in a Closing Date Consideration that is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Consideration (such difference the “Excess Amount”), then Parent shall pay or cause to be paid within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Net Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.14(d), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Excess Amount to an account designated by the Shareholder Representative, for and on behalf of the Shareholders, and the Shareholder Representative shall distribute such amount to the Shareholders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07 of this Agreement.

(ii)           If such substitutions would have resulted in a Closing Date Consideration that is less than the Estimated Closing Date Consideration, then the Parent shall have the right to recover from the Escrow Amount an amount equal to such shortfall.

(iii)          If such substitutions would have resulted in a Closing Date Consideration equal to the Estimated Closing Date Consideration, there will be no adjustment to the Closing Date Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.14(e).

(f)            If the Escrow Amount is insufficient to cover all amounts due to Parent pursuant to this Section 2.14, then Parent shall be entitled to recover the deficiency (i) first, by offset against any Aggregate Milestone Amounts actually earned but not yet paid (such earned amount, the “Unpaid Earned Earn-Out Consideration”) and (ii) second, after recovery has been made by complete offset against any Unpaid Earned Earn-Out Consideration, the Shareholders (severally, and not jointly) in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02(c).  Any amounts due from the Escrow Amount, the Aggregate Milestone Amounts (if any) or from the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not be subject to any of the limitations or other procedures set forth in Article IX other than Section 9.02(b)(iii) and Section 9.02(c).

Section 2.15           Earn-Out Consideration.  In addition to the Closing Date Consideration, the Shareholders shall be entitled to additional consideration as follows in this Section 2.15 (the “Earn-Out Consideration”):

(a)           The final day of the second consecutive month (if any) during the Earn Out Period that each of the following are achieved (i) the Company’s Caller Name ID Product has been launched and has at least one (1) active Subscriber, (ii) the Company’s Monthly Gross Margin equals or

20

exceeds $2,500,000, and (iii) the Company has a positive Net Income Contribution margin to Parent, shall be the “$2.5M Milestone Date.”  Within ninety (90) days of the $2.5M Milestone Date, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Shareholder Representative for distribution to the Shareholders in accordance with Section 2.15(i) an amount equal to the $2.5M Milestone Shareholder Amount.

(b)           The final day of the second consecutive month (if any) during the Earn Out Period that the Company’s Monthly Gross Margin equals or exceeds $5,000,000 shall be the “$5M Milestone Date.”  Within ninety (90) days of the $5M Milestone Date, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Shareholder Representative for distribution to the Shareholders in accordance with Section 2.15(i) an amount equal to the $5M Milestone Shareholder Amount, plus, if not otherwise paid prior to or on the $5M Milestone Date, the $2.5M Milestone Shareholder Amount.

(c)           The final day of the second consecutive month (if any) during the Earn Out Period that the Company’s Monthly Gross Margin equals or exceeds $7,500,000 shall be the “$7.5M Milestone Date.”  Within ninety (90) days of the $7.5M Milestone Date, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Shareholder Representative for distribution to the Shareholders in accordance with Section 2.15(i) an amount equal to the $7.5M Milestone Shareholder Amount, plus, if not otherwise paid prior to or on the $7.5M Milestone Date, the $5M Milestone Shareholder Amount and $2.5M Milestone Shareholder Amount.

(d)           The final day of the second consecutive month (if any) during the Earn Out Period that the Company’s Monthly Gross Margin equals or exceeds $10,000,000 shall be the “$10M Milestone Date.”  Within ninety (90) days of the $10M Milestone Date, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Shareholder Representative for distribution to the Shareholders in accordance with Section 2.15(i) an amount equal to the $10M Milestone Shareholder Amount, plus, if not otherwise paid prior to or on the $10M Milestone Date, the $7.5M Milestone Shareholder Amount, $5M Milestone Shareholder Amount and $2.5M Milestone Shareholder Amount.

(e)           Not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each month during the Earn Out Period, Parent shall prepare (or cause the Company to prepare) and deliver to the Shareholder Representative a statement setting forth the Company’s Monthly Gross Margin and, if the $2.5 Million Milestone Date has not occurred, the Net Income Contribution for the preceding month (the “Monthly Statement”).  Unless the Shareholder Representative disputes Parent’s determination of the Monthly Gross Margin and/or Net Income Contribution in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15(f), Parent’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders.  Parent shall make available to Shareholder Representative all books and records maintained by Parent and the Company as the Shareholder Representative may reasonably require in order for Shareholder Representative to review and confirm Parent’s calculation of the Monthly Gross Margin and Net Income Contribution, if applicable, as set forth in the Monthly Statement.

(f)            In the event that the Shareholder Representative disputes the calculation of the Monthly Gross Margin and/or Net Income Contribution, as applicable, in any given month, the Shareholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing by delivery of a notice (a “Gross Margin Dispute Notice”) within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Monthly Statement, which Gross Margin Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute.  If the Parent and the Shareholder Representative cannot mutually agree upon the calculation of the Monthly Gross Margin and/or Net Income Contribution, as applicable, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Gross Margin Dispute Notice, Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall engage the Neutral Accountant to resolve such dispute.  The Neutral Accountant shall review the Monthly Statement and, within ten (10) Business Days of its appointment, shall make any adjustments necessary thereto (based solely upon the written proposals from the parties with respect to the items in dispute), and, upon completion of such review,

21

such Monthly Statement and the calculation of the Monthly Gross Margin and/or Net Income Contribution, as applicable, as determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be binding upon the parties.  If such a review is conducted, then the party (i.e., Parent, on the one hand, or the Shareholders, on the other hand) whose last proposed written offer for the settlement of the items in dispute, taken as a whole, prior to the engagement of the Neutral Accountant to resolve such dispute was farther away from the final determination by the Neutral Accountant pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall pay all fees and expenses associated with such review.

(g)           During the Earn-Out Period, Parent agrees that:

(i)            Parent will maintain (or cause the Company to maintain) separate accounting of the Company for purposes of determining the Earn-Out Consideration; provided, however, that the Parent will be permitted to consolidate health and retirement benefit plans; and

(ii)           any expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be excluded from the calculation of the Monthly Gross Margin and Net Income Contribution.

(h)           The Shareholder Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders) agrees and acknowledges that the Parent may make from time to time such business decisions as it deems appropriate in the conduct of the Company’s business, including actions that may have an impact on the Monthly Gross Margin and Net Income Contribution and achievement of all or any portion of Earn-Out Consideration; provided, however, that during the Earn-Out Period Parent shall make or cause to be made all business decisions with respect to the Company in good faith, and not take, or permit to be taken, any action which has a primary objective of avoiding, circumventing or minimizing the opportunity to achieve the Earn-Out Consideration hereunder or the ability of the Shareholder Representative or Shareholders to receive the payment thereof.  No Shareholder shall have any right to claim any lost Earn-Out Consideration or other damages as a result of such decisions except to the extent that any such decision shall constitute a violation of Section 2.15(g) or this Section 2.15(h).

(i)            Subject to Section 2.15(j), the Earn-Out Consideration payable to the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Shareholder Representative.  The Shareholder Representative shall distribute any amounts under this Section 2.15 as set forth in Schedule X (the amount paid to a Shareholder under this subsection (i), the “Per Share Earn-Out Consideration”).  Parent may set-off against all or a portion of any Earn-Out Consideration any amount owed to (i) Parent under Section 2.14 or (ii) the Parent Indemnified Parties under the indemnification obligations set forth in Article IX, in each case as, to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth therein.

(j)            Subordination of Earn-Out Consideration.

(i)            Subordinated Obligations Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.  Parent and the Shareholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Shareholders, hereby agree that (x) all obligations owing by Parent to the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders in respect of Earn-Out Consideration and (y) all obligations of the Parent to the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders under this Section 2.15, including, without limitation, any claims for damages by the Shareholder Representative and/or the Shareholders against Parent for breach of, or a default under, this Section 2.15(j) (the obligations under the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), collectively, the “Subordinated Obligations”) are and shall be subordinate and junior to the prior payment in full, in cash, of all Obligations under and as defined in the TNS Credit Agreement (such Obligations, the “Senior Indebtedness”) until, subject to Section 2.15(j)(iv)(B), Paid In Full.

22

(ii)           Events of Subordination.

(A)  If  (x) any Event of Default (as defined in the TNS Credit Agreement) shall have occurred and until such time as such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing in accordance with the terms of the TNS Credit Agreement or (y) an Event of Default (as defined in the TNS Credit Agreement) would result after giving effect to the payment of any Subordinated Obligations, then no payment shall be made by or on behalf of Parent for or on account of any Subordinated Obligations, and neither the Shareholder Representative nor any Shareholder shall take or receive from Parent, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the Subordinated Obligations.  Nothing in this Subsection 2.15(j)(ii)(A) shall be deemed a release or waiver of Parent’s obligation to pay the Earn-Out Consideration due pursuant to the terms of Section 2.15(a) through (d).  During any period in which unpaid Earn-Out Consideration is not permitted to be paid as a result of the first sentence of this Section 2.15(j)(ii)(A), the unpaid Earn-Out Consideration during such period shall accrue interest at the rate of eight (8) percent per annum until Shareholder Representative receives payment in full of the applicable Earn-Out Consideration, including any such accrued interest.  Parent covenants to use its good faith efforts to, as promptly as practicable, obtain a waiver of any Event of Default for which it has received notice from the Administrative Agent under the TNS Credit Agreement (the “Default Notice”) pursuant to the terms of the TNS Credit Agreement.  Parent agrees to promptly deliver to the Shareholder Representative any Default Notice it so receives.

(B)           In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of Parent or its debts, whether voluntary or involuntary, in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, receivership, relief or other similar case or proceeding under any Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other related marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Parent or otherwise (any such occurrence a “Bankruptcy Event”), Senior Indebtedness shall first be Paid in Full before the Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to receive any payment of all or any of the Subordinated Obligations, and any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash, property or securities) that otherwise would be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations in any such Bankruptcy Event shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been Paid in Full.

(iii)          Enforcement.

(A)  Subject to Section 2.15(j)(iii)(B), neither the Shareholder Representative nor any Shareholder will take any action or assert any claim with respect to the Earn-Out Consideration at any time in which such Persons are not otherwise permitted to be paid or to receive Earn-Out Consideration pursuant to Section 2.15(j)(ii)(A).  Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Shareholder Representative nor any Shareholder will, subject to Section 2.15(j)(iii)(B), assert, collect, enforce or seek to enforce any right or remedy with respect to the Earn-Out Consideration or any part thereof at any time during which such Persons are not otherwise permitted to be paid or to receive Earn-Out Consideration pursuant to Section 2.15(j)(ii)(A), including, without limitation, commencing any action or proceeding, exercising any right of setoff or recoupment or filing or participating in the filing of any involuntary bankruptcy petition against Parent.

(B)           In the event of any Bankruptcy Event involving Parent, (a) all Senior Indebtedness first shall be paid in full in cash before any payment of or with respect to the Earn-Out Consideration shall be made; (b) any payment or distribution, whether in cash, property or securities which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable in respect of the Earn-Out Consideration shall be paid or delivered directly to Administrative Agent (to be held and/or applied by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the TNS Credit Agreement) until all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, in cash, and Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and distributions, and Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, also irrevocably

23

authorizes, empowers and directs Administrative Agent to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution; (c) Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, agrees to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent all such further instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (b); (d) Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, agrees not to initiate or prosecute or join with any other person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability of the Senior Indebtedness or any liens and security interests securing the Senior Indebtedness; (e) Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, agrees not to object to any use of cash collateral by the Parent under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code permitted by the Requisite Lenders or any borrowing by Parent from the Lenders, or to any grant of a lien or security interest by any Person in favor of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (f) Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Earn-Out Consideration requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any proceeding related to such Bankruptcy Event and hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints Administrative Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of Shareholder Representative promptly to do so (and, in any event, prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof) and (ii) vote such claim in any proceeding related to such Bankruptcy Event upon the failure of Shareholder Representative or Shareholder to do so prior to fifteen (15) days before the expiration of the time to vote any such claim; provided that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim. In the event that Administrative Agent votes any claim of Shareholder Representative or any Shareholder in accordance with the authority granted hereby, neither Shareholder Representative nor any Shareholder shall be entitled to change or withdraw such vote. The Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of this Section (j) shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and Shareholder Representative and Shareholders, on the other hand, even if all or part of the Senior Indebtedness or any liens or security interests securing the Senior Indebtedness are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such Bankruptcy Event and this Section 2.15(j) shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Indebtedness or any representative of such holder.

(C)           If the Shareholder Representative or any Shareholder, in contravention of the terms of this Section 2.15(j)(iii), shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding against Parent, Parent may interpose as a defense or plea the provisions of this Section 2.15(j)(iii) and the Administrative Agent may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in the name of Parent.  If the Shareholder Representative or any Shareholder, in contravention of the terms of this Section 2.15(j)(iii), obtains any cash or other assets as a result of any administrative, legal or equitable action, the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, agrees that the Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders shall forthwith pay, deliver and assign to the Administrative Agent, with appropriate endorsements, any such cash for application to the Senior Indebtedness or any such other assets as collateral for the Senior Indebtedness.  Further, all payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations which are received by Shareholder Representative or any Shareholder contrary to the provisions of Section 2.15(j)(ii)(A) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by Shareholder Representative and the Shareholders and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(iv)          In Furtherance of Subordination.

(A)  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of the provisions of this Section 2.15(j) at any time when the Shareholder Representative or any Shareholder shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Section 2.15(j) applicable to it.  The Shareholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Shareholders, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which

24

might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

(B)           The provisions of this Section 2.15(j) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Parent, any other Credit Party (as defined in the TNS Credit Agreement) or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(v)           Rights of Subrogation.   No payment or distribution to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.15(j) shall entitle the Shareholder Representative or any Shareholder to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof until the Senior Indebtedness shall have been Paid in Full.

(vi)          Waiver of Acceptance.  The Shareholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Shareholders, and Parent each hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Senior Indebtedness and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against Parent or any other Person or any collateral.

(vii)         No Waiver; Remedies; Amendments.

(A)  No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.  The Shareholder Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Shareholders, agrees that the terms and provisions of this Section 2.15(j) may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

(B)           The provisions of this Section 2.15(j) constitute a continuing agreement and shall (i) notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, remain in full force and effect until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, (ii) be binding upon the Shareholder Representative, the Shareholders, Parent and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Parent, the Shareholder Representative and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

(viii)        Actions with Respect to Senior Indebtedness.  The Shareholder Representative agrees and consents, on behalf of the Shareholders, that without notice to or assent by the Shareholder Representative or any Shareholder, and without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the Parent and the rights and benefits of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness set forth in this Section 2.15(j):

(A)          the obligations and liabilities of Parent and any other party or parties for or upon the Senior Indebtedness may, from time to time, be renewed, refinanced, extended, modified, amended, restated, increased, compromised, supplemented, terminated, waived or released;

(B)           the holders of Senior Indebtedness may exercise or refrain from exercising any right, remedy or power granted by or available under applicable law in connection with any agreements relating to the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, any rights with respect to the Collateral (as defined in the TNS Credit Agreement); and

(C)           any Collateral, including, without limitation, any balance or balances of funds with any holder of Senior Indebtedness at any time outstanding to the credit of Parent

25

may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be surrendered or released,

all as the holders of any Senior Indebtedness may deem advisable, and all without impairing, abridging, diminishing, releasing or affecting the subordination of the Earn-Out Consideration hereunder to the Senior Indebtedness.

Section 2.16           Retention Bonus Plan.

(f)            There have been no non-exempt “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Sections 406 of ERISA or 4975 of the Code) with respect to any Company Benefit Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company.  Neither the Company nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other “fiduciary” (as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA) has breached its fiduciary duty under ERISA in connection with the administration or investment of the assets of any Company Benefit Plan in such a way as would result in material liability to the Company.

44

Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to either party, and the failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect any of the conditions set forth in Article VII below; and provided further that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall not cause the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII below, to be satisfied nor shall the delivery of any such notice be deemed an admission that any condition in Article VII below, is not or will not be satisfied or that there has been any Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.07          Shareholder Representative.

(a)           Authority.  Each Securityholder, pursuant to the terms of the Securityholder Written Consent, has irrevocably appointed or is appointing the Shareholder Representative as its, his or her true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, on behalf of such Securityholder on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 5.07(a) and the Company shall, in connection with the delivery of the Shareholder Documents and Transmittal Instructions, seek to have its Shareholders approve, the appointment of the Shareholder Representative as their lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Shareholders under this Section 5.07(a).  In such capacity, the Shareholder Representative may take any action on behalf of, and may bind, any or all Shareholders (to the extent that any such Shareholder shall have so approved the appointment of the Shareholder Representative) from and after the date hereof under this Agreement or any other related agreement, including (i) entering into any amendment or modification hereof or any waiver of any obligation hereunder; (ii) giving and receiving notices and communications to or from Parent or Merger Sub relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by a Shareholder individually without reliance on the Shareholder Representative); (iii) making any claim on behalf of any Shareholder Indemnified Party (provided that recovery of which shall be made or directed to such Shareholder Indemnified Party) pursuant to Article IX, consenting to the payment to any Parent Indemnified Party of any amounts payable pursuant to Article IX, making any objection to, or determine to waive or fail to take any action to object to, any claim for indemnification made by any Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to Article IX; (iv) consenting or agreeing to, negotiate, entering into settlements and compromises of, and agreeing to arbitration and complying with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any claims contemplated by clause (ii) or (iii); and (v) taking all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Shareholder under any circumstance.  The Shareholders may replace the Person serving as the Shareholder Representative at any time by written agreement of the Shareholders holding a majority of the Company Stock (or, if such replacement occurs after the Effective Time, the Shareholders who held a majority of the Company Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time), and the Securityholders shall provide notice thereof to Parent and the other Shareholders.  The Shareholder Representative shall receive no compensation for its services hereunder, but any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred, or to be incurred, by the Shareholder Representative in connection with actions taken by the Shareholder Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (including the hiring of legal counsel, experts, accountants, consultants or others, and the incurring of legal fees, other fees and costs) shall be paid from the Shareholder Representative Fund.  The limitations on liability of the Shareholder Representative in this Section 5.07 and elsewhere in this Agreement are material inducements to, and represent consideration in exchange for, the Shareholder Representative to act as Shareholder Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.  The Shareholder Representative accepts its appointment hereunder.  Parent and its respective Representatives shall be entitled to rely on the authority of the Shareholder Representative for actions taken under this Section 6.07(a) and shall have no Liability to the Company or any Shareholder for such reliance.

45

(b)           Liability.  The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to any Shareholder or Securityholder or any other Person for, and the Shareholders and Securityholders shall severally indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder Representative in respect of, all Losses incurred or suffered by the Shareholder Representative in respect of any act done or omitted hereunder as the Shareholder Representative while acting in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.07(a) in the absence of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Shareholder Representative.  For such purposes any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, independent public accountant or other professional selected by the Shareholder Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith and the absence of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Section 5.08          Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a)           From and after the Effective Time, unless otherwise required by Law, Parent and Merger Sub agree that the indemnification obligations set forth in the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws existing in favor of those persons who are directors and officers of the Company as of the date of this Agreement (each, a “Covered Person”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers thereof prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and be observed by the Surviving Company to the fullest extent permitted under the WBCA for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, and, during such six (6) year period, the Surviving Company shall also advance the reasonable expenses incurred by any such Covered Person in connection with the investigation or defense of, or acting as a witness to or participating in, any claim covered by this Section 5.08 to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided the Covered Person provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.08.

(b)           Any Person wishing to claim indemnification under Section 5.08, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Surviving Company thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Surviving Company of any liability it may have to such Person if such failure does not materially prejudice the Surviving Company.  In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Surviving Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Surviving Company shall not be liable to any Person seeking indemnification under Section 5.08 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Person in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Surviving Company elects not to assume such defense or counsel for such Person and advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Surviving Company and such Person, such Person may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and the Surviving Company shall pay all reasonable expenses of such counsel for such Person promptly as statements therefor are received, (ii) such Persons will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, and (iii) the Surviving Company shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent.

(c)           The Surviving Company shall maintain a policy of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering those Persons who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Insured Parties”) for acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time with coverage in amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for a period of three (3) years after the Effective Time.

(d)           If the Surviving Company or any of their successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then and in each such case, proper

46

provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of  the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.08.

(e)           Each of the Covered Persons is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.08 and shall have the right to seek enforcement of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.08.

Section 5.10          Termination of 401(k) Plan.  The Company shall, at least one day prior to the Closing Date, adopt written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate action) to terminate, the Cequint Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) and to one hundred percent (100%) vest all participants under the Company 401(k) Plan, such termination and vesting to be effective no later than the day preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that such Company 401(k) Plan vesting and termination may be made contingent upon the Closing occurring.  Parent reserves the right to suspend the distribution of benefits from the Company 401(k) Plan on account of the Company 401(k) Plan’s termination (but not on account of reasons that would otherwise permit distribution under the terms of the Company 401(k) Plan, e.g., separation from service and hardship) until the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS with respect to the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan.

Article VI.

Section 6.07          Tax Matters.

(a)           Final Tax Returns.  All Tax Returns for the Company that are required under applicable Law to be filed after Closing, and include a Pre-Closing Tax Period (each a “Final Tax Return”), will be prepared and timely filed by the Company.  All Final Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns of the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.  At least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date (giving effect to any extensions) for filing a Final Tax Return, the Company shall deliver a copy of each such Tax Return to the Shareholder Representative for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  The Shareholder Representative and Parent shall cause to be paid from the Escrow Amount within five (5) days prior to the due date (giving effect to any extensions) for filing of such Tax Returns an amount in cash equal to any Pre-Closing Taxes shown as due thereon to the Company.

(b)           Refunds.  The Shareholders shall be entitled to all refunds (and any interest thereon) received by the Company (whether actually or as a credit or other offset to Taxes payable by the Company, Parent or its Affiliates) after the Closing with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods excluding

48

any refunds resulting from carrybacks of net operating losses or similar items from Post-Closing Tax Periods to Pre-Closing Tax Periods.  If the Surviving Company, Parent or its Affiliates receive a refund to which the Shareholders are entitled pursuant to this Section 6.07(b), Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Shareholder Representative (for the benefit of the Shareholders) the amount to which the Shareholders are entitled within fifteen (15) days after such refund is received (whether actually or as a credit or other offset to Taxes payable).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any redetermination by a Taxing Authority or change in applicable law reduces the amount of any refund or credit, which Parent has paid or caused to be paid to the Shareholders under this Section 6.07(b), the Shareholders shall pay Parent within fifteen (15) days of Parent’s request for such payment, the amount of such reduction (together with any interest and penalties thereon that are required to be paid to the Taxing Authority in connection with the reduction or credit of such refund).

(c)           Amended Returns.  Without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative, Parent shall not amend (or cause or permit to be amended) any Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods that includes the Company, except that (i) amended Tax Returns for such periods may be filed to correct material errors that are discovered in such Tax Returns that, absent such correction, would materially and adversely affect the Company for Post-Closing Tax Periods; and (ii) amended Tax Returns for such periods may be made for the purpose of carrying back net operating losses or similar items from Post-Closing Tax Periods to Pre-Closing Periods, provided that the filing of any such amended Tax Return without the consent of the Shareholder Representative pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) shall not be determinative of the existence of any claim for indemnification under Article IX or the amount of any Losses relating to such claim.

(d)           Tax Sharing Agreements.  All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(e)           Cooperation.  Parent, the Shareholder Representative and the Company shall cooperate fully and in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns, and any audit or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes imposed on any of them for Taxable periods ending before January 1, 2011.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, or any such audit or other Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Parent, the Shareholder Representative and the Company agree (i) to retain or cause to be retained all books and records with respect to Tax matters that are pertinent to the Company and relate to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or the Shareholder Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into before the Closing by the Company with any Taxing Authority, (ii) to provide to the other party, upon any reasonable request, all books and records with respect to Tax matters that are pertinent to the Company and relate to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or the Shareholder Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and (iii) to give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any of the other parties so requests, the other parties shall allow such requesting party to take possession of such books and records.

Section 6.08          Participation in Parent’s 401(k) Plan.  No more than 30 days after the Closing, Parent and its Affiliates shall permit employees of Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates who were eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Company

49

401(k) Plan’s termination, to participate in a 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by Parent or any of its Affiliates (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”).  In addition, Parent shall cause the Parent 401(k) Plan to accept direct rollovers of any eligible rollover distributions, including participant loans, distributed to employees of Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates from the Company 401(k) Plan after Closing.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Parent 401(k) Plan shall not be required to accept a direct rollover of any portion of an eligible rollover distribution that consists of Roth contributions (and related earnings) if the Parent 401(k) Plan does not permit Roth contributions at the time of such rollover.  Parent agrees that the Company may, if it deems appropriate, amend the Company 401(k) Plan and any policies or documents related to outstanding loans from the Company 401(k) Plan to participants in the Company 401(k) Plan to the extent necessary to prevent the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan (or distribution from the Company 401(k) Plan) from constituting an event of default under such outstanding loans.

(b)           Covenants and Agreements.  All covenants and agreements to be performed in their entirety prior to the Closing Date shall terminate upon the Closing except as expressly provided herein.  All covenants and agreements to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing Date shall survive in accordance with their terms.

Section 9.02          Indemnification by the Shareholders.

(a)           Indemnification by the Shareholders.  Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Effective Time, the Shareholders, severally in proportion with their respective Pro Rata Common Interests (subject to the terms of Section 9.02 (c)) and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Subsidiaries (for avoidance of doubt, including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries), and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and consultants and their successors and assigns (the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any such Parent Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly as a result of, with respect to, arising from or in connection with:

(i)            any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article III of this Agreement (provided that in each case, after determining that a misrepresentation or breach of any such representation or warranty has occurred, the amount of Losses for which Parent Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified shall be determined without regard to any materiality or “Company Material Adverse Effect” qualification contained therein);

(ii)           any breach of or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company to be performed at or prior to Closing set forth in this Agreement; and

(iii)          all Pre-Closing Taxes.

(b)           Limitations.

(i)            The Shareholders shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 9.02(a) with respect to Losses incurred by Parent Indemnified Parties only to the extent the aggregate Losses exceed seven-tenths of a percent (0.7%) of the Merger Consideration actually paid to the Shareholders (the “Basket”) on the date such claim is made (the “Claim Date”), whereupon the Shareholders shall then be liable for all such Losses that exceed the Basket; provided, that if any additional Merger Consideration is paid to the Shareholders following the Claim Date that would result in a increase in the Basket (the date upon which such additional Merger Consideration is paid, the “Basket Increase Date”) (A) the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover their Losses  incurred as of the Claim Date for such Losses based upon the Basket calculated as of such Claim Date (and such Losses shall count towards the aggregate amount of the Basket) and (B) any Losses incurred after any Basket Increase Date shall be subject to the increased Basket in effect on the applicable Claim Date that the claim for such Losses is made.

(ii)           The maximum aggregate liability of all of the Shareholders to all Parent Indemnified Parties taken together for all Losses pursuant to Section 9.02(a) shall not exceed the Escrow Amount plus ten percent (10%) of any Aggregate Milestone Amounts, if any, actually earned during the Earn-Out Period (the “Indemnification Cap”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent

54

that, on any Claim Date, a Parent Indemnified Party incurs a Loss that is otherwise indemnifiable under Section 9.02(a) that exceeds the Indemnification Cap (calculated as of such Claim Date) and all or any portion of the Aggregate Milestone Amounts have not yet been earned, such Parent Indemnified Party shall be permitted to offset such Loss (to the extent not otherwise paid) against any future Aggregate Milestone Amounts earned up to the Indemnification Cap (calculated at the end of the Earn-Out Period).

(iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs (i) and (ii), the Basket and Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims that relate to a breach or inaccuracy of the Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.16 or claims under Sections 9.02(a)(ii) or 9.02(a)(iii); provided, that the maximum aggregate amount required to be paid directly by a Shareholder in respect of indemnification for all claims or otherwise under this Agreement shall not under any circumstance exceed the portion of the Merger Consideration actually paid to such Shareholder (with such Merger Consideration calculated at the end of the Earn-Out Period and taking into account all Earn-Out Consideration actually paid to the Shareholders), whether in the form of cash or Parent Shares (valued at the Closing Date Reference Price).

(c)           Pro Rata.  In the event that the Shareholders are or become liable under this Article IX in an amount that exceeds the Indemnification Cap, each Shareholder shall be liable only for his, her or its pro rata portion of such amount with such proration determined in proportion to the respective Pro Rata Common Interests of all Shareholders, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) to the extent the aggregate amount of such liabilities is greater than (A) an amount equal to the Common Consideration plus the Unpaid Earned Earn-Out Consideration plus the Paid Earn-Out Consideration but less than (B) an amount equal to the Common Consideration plus the Unpaid Earned Earn-Out Consideration plus the Paid Earn-Out Consideration plus the Series A Preferential Amount, then with respect to such amount each Shareholder shall be liable only for 100% of his, her or its pro rata portion of such amount, with such proration determined in proportion to the respective Pro Rata Common Interests of all Shareholders, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent such Shareholder was a holder of Series A Preferred immediately prior to the Effective Time, to such Shareholder’s pro rata portion (with such proration determined in proportion to the number of shares of Series A Preferred owned by such Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time relative to the total number of shares of Series A Preferred outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time) of the portion of the Series A Preferential Amount necessary to satisfy the remaining amount of such liabilities in full; and (ii) to the extent the aggregate amount of such liabilities is greater than (A) an amount equal to the Common Consideration plus the Unpaid Earned Earn-Out Consideration plus the Paid Earn-Out Consideration plus the Series A Preferential Amount, but less than (B) an amount equal to the Common Consideration plus the Unpaid Earned Earn-Out Consideration plus the Paid Earn-Out Consideration, each Shareholder shall be liable only for 100% of his, her or its pro rata portion of such amount, with such proration determined in proportion to the respective Pro Rata Common Interests of all Shareholders, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent such Shareholder was a holder of Series A Preferred immediately prior to the Effective Time, to such Shareholder’s pro rata portion (with such proration determined in proportion to the number of shares of Series A Preferred owned by such Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time relative to the total number of shares of Series A Preferred outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time) of the Series A Preferential Amount (if any), and, to the extent such Shareholder was a holder of Series B Preferred or a warrant therefor immediately prior to the Effective Time, to such Shareholder’s pro rata portion(with such proration determined in proportion to the number of shares of Series B Preferred owned by such Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time relative to the total number of shares of Series B Preferred outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time) of the portion of the Series B Preferential Amount necessary to satisfy the remaining amount of such liabilities in full.

55

(d)           Obligations for Dissenters’ Rights.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Shareholders shall indemnify Parent Indemnified Parties for any amount paid to the holders of the Company Stock by reason of the exercise of dissenters’ rights as described in Section 2.10 that is in excess of the amounts set aside for such payments pursuant to Section 2.08(c) without reduction by reason of the limitations provided in this Article IX (except for Section 9.02(c) if applicable and for Section 9.02(b)(iii)), and without regard to whether the conditions to the obligations for indemnification set forth herein have been met.  The obligations of the Shareholders to indemnity Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 9.02(d) shall be several and not joint, and such indemnification or reimbursement shall, at Parent Indemnified Party’s option, be satisfied in whole or in part, from either the Escrow Amount or the amount of any Unpaid Earned Earn-Out Consideration, if any.

Section 9.03           Indemnification by Parent.  Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders (the “Shareholder Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any such Shareholder Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly as a result of, with respect to, arising from or in connection with: (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in Article IV of this Agreement (provided that in each case, after determining that a misrepresentation or breach of any such representation or warranty has occurred, the amount of Losses for which Shareholder Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualification contained therein); or (b) any breach of or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.04           Miscellaneous.

(a)           No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than the full amount of any Loss incurred by such Indemnified Party under the provisions of this Agreement in respect of any such Loss.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under Section 9.02 shall be reduced by (i) the amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party (or its related Persons) incurring such Losses under applicable insurance policies with respect to claims related to such Losses, (ii) any income Tax-related benefits that the Indemnified Party (or its related Persons) actually realized through a reduction of cash income Taxes paid or payable and with the amount thereof calculated on a “with” versus “without” basis, and (iii) the amount of any reserves for such Losses set forth on the Closing Date Statement (as finally determined pursuant to the terms of Section 2.14) and taken into account in the calculation of the Merger Consideration.  The Parent Indemnified Parties agree that if coverage of any Losses is or may be available under any policy held by the Company prior to the Closing, or under any “claims made policy” held by Parent or the Company, then the Parent Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under such policy.  To the extent the Shareholders indemnify any of the Parent Indemnified Parties for Losses hereunder and any of the Parent Indemnified Parties subsequently collects insurance proceeds or actually realizes Tax-related benefits with respect to the claim upon which the Parent Indemnified Party’s indemnification was based, Parent shall reimburse the Shareholders the amount of the Losses for which the Shareholders indemnified the Parent Indemnified Party within five (5) days of receipt of such insurance proceeds or actual realization of such Tax-related benefits (whether as a refund or as a credit or other offset to Taxes payable).

(b)           The waiver by any party hereto of any conditions set forth in Article VII will not affect or limit the provisions of this Article IX in any manner.

(c)           Except as otherwise payable pursuant to a Third Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.02 to any Indemnified Party for any consequential, incidental or punitive Losses or Losses for lost profits.

56

(d)           To the extent indemnification of a Loss is required under this Article IX, no Parent Indemnified Party shall seek payment directly from any Shareholder or Securityholder for indemnification of any Losses pursuant to this Article IX unless the Escrow Amount has been entirely depleted and any Unpaid Earned Earn-Out Consideration has been fully offset.

(e)           No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Losses under the provisions of this Agreement to the extent any amounts under indemnification agreements with Persons other than the parties hereto are received by the Indemnified Party on account of such Losses.

Section 9.05           Claims.

(a)           Notice of Claim.  Promptly after the receipt by a Parent Indemnified Party or a Shareholder Indemnified Party, as appropriate (the “Indemnified Party”), of a notice of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by any third party (a “Third Party Claim”) or upon becoming aware of any other facts, circumstances or events, in either case that would reasonably give rise to a right to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such claim to the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”), stating the nature and basis of the claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing the claim and the basis for indemnification sought.  Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability on account of such indemnification, except if (and then only) to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.  Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim or such other claim.

(b)           Assumption of Defense of Third Party Claims.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of the Indemnified Party against any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and control the defense of such Third Party Claim (x) if it elects to do so within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the notice with respect thereto and (y) so long as the Indemnifying Party conducts such defense actively and diligently.  The Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim (or shall not be required to assume control of a Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim of which it seeks to assume control (or has assumed control) (i) seeks non-monetary relief; (ii) is reasonably determined by the Indemnified Party after consultation with counsel to the Indemnified Party to involve a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, (iii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations; (iv) involved a claim which the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend; or (v) involves a claim that is reasonably expected to result in Losses to the Indemnified Party in excess of 125% of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation hereunder in light of the limitations set forth in this Article IX.  The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such Third Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment (other than a judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs) or enter into any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any applicable Law, (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are reimbursed in full as indemnified Losses and (3) the settlement shall include the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the claim, but the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by it to participate in its defense unless either of the following apply:  (A) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (B) the Indemnifying Party’s legal counsel has advised the Indemnifying Party in writing, with a copy to the Indemnified Party, that there is a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel.

If either clause (A) or (B) in the immediately preceding sentence is applicable, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party, but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be obligated to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of more than one such separate counsel for any one Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume control of the defense of an action contemplated by this Article IX within the manner contemplated above, or, if control of the defense of such action is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party fails to conduct the defense actively and diligently, (I) the Indemnified Party may defend against the action in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall consult with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; (II) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs of defending against the action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent such costs are Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification therefor hereunder; and (III) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any costs the Indemnified Party may incur resulting from the action to the extent such costs are Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification therefor hereunder.  An Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, agree to a settlement of a Third Party Claim, unless the Indemnified Party shall also waive any right to indemnification under this Agreement in respect of such Third Party Claim.

Section 9.06           Payment.  If an Indemnified Party desires to seek indemnification under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted.  Until the end of the applicable survival period specified in Section 9.01, no delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in giving a notice of claim will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under Article IX unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.  Subject to Section 9.01, in the event that, within the forty-five (45) day period after a notice of claim is received by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party does not contest such claim in writing to the Indemnified Party as provided in this Section 9.06, the Indemnifying Party will be conclusively deemed to have consented to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of the full amount of Loss specified in the notice in accordance with this Article IX.  If the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim for indemnification, it shall notify the Indemnified Party within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of the notice of such claim for indemnification, whereupon the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to such claim for indemnification.  If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after such parties first met to attempt a resolution, either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may initiate litigation in accordance with Article X of this Agreement.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes a claim by an Indemnified Party, then such disputed claim will be resolved by either (i) a written settlement agreement executed by the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, or (ii) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement, by such litigation.  The Shareholder Representative shall be the Person to receive notices and make decisions in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.06.

Section 9.07           Adjustments to Merger Consideration.  The Company, Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Securityholders agree to treat each indemnification payment pursuant to this Article IX as an adjustment to the consideration to be issued pursuant to the Merger for all Tax purposes and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Law pursuant to a determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

Section 9.08           Sole and Exclusive Remedy.  Except (i) as otherwise provided below in this Section 9.08, (ii) for any post-Closing payments owed or made pursuant to Section 2.14 and (iii) with respect to the matters governed by Section 6.07, the indemnification provided for in this Article IX,

58

subject to the limitations set forth herein or therein, shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Losses arising out of or related to the matters set forth in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing herein will limit in any way any such Indemnified Party’s (A) remedies in respect of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or (B) rights hereunder to injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce its rights under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
