ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 Merger and Effect of Merger.

(a) The constituent entities of the Merger are the Company and Acquisition Subsidiary.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, Acquisition Subsidiary shall be merged into the Company and the separate existence of Acquisition Subsidiary thereupon shall cease. The Company shall be the Surviving Company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”), and the separate existence of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger.

(c) At and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of both Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company, as provided more particularly in the DGCL.

1.2 Method of Effecting Merger; Closing. The Merger shall be effected as follows:

(a) The Company and Acquisition Subsidiary shall each execute a Certificate of Merger in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Certificate of Merger”), and the Company shall cause the Certificate of Merger to be filed and recorded on the Closing Date with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall thereupon become effective and be consummated immediately upon the later of the date of such filing or at such later time as may be mutually agreed by Parent, the Company and Acquisition Subsidiary and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the “Effective Time”).

(b) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all applicable conditions to Closing, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Bryan Cave LLP, 120 Broadway, Suite 300, Santa Monica, California 90401, at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Standard Time, or in such other place or manner as agreed to in writing by the Parties, on May 31, 2012, or on such other date (which shall in any event be within five Business Days after

the satisfaction or waiver of all applicable conditions to Closing set forth herein, other than terms and conditions which, by their terms, are to be satisfied at the Closing) as Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company may agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in the State of California, United States of America.

1.3 Conversion of Acquisition Subsidiary Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, the issued and outstanding capital stock of Acquisition Subsidiary shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock in the Surviving Company and, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such capital stock of Acquisition Subsidiary, the Surviving Company shall promptly issue to Parent or its designated Affiliate a certificate representing the common stock in the Surviving Company into which such shares have been converted. After the Effective Time such share of common stock shall be the only issued and outstanding equity interest of the Surviving Company and shall be owned by Parent or its designated Affiliate.

1.4 Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Merger Consideration” shall be:

(a) One Hundred Forty Five Million Dollars ($145,000,000) in cash, consisting of;

(i) One Hundred Thirty Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($130,500,000) in cash (the “Initial Cash Merger Consideration”); and

(ii) Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) (the “Escrow Amount”); and

(iii) The Representative Holdback as set forth in Section 1.12(c); less

(b) The aggregate amount of any Indebtedness, less

(c) The amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date is less than the Target Net Working Capital; or plus

(d) The amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date is greater than the Target Net Working Capital up to a maximum amount of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000); less

(e) The amount, if any, by which the Net Taxes Payable as of the Closing Date is greater than the Target Net Taxes Payable; less

(f) The Estimated Company Transaction Expenses as set forth in Section 1.13(b); less

(g) The aggregate amount of the Option Replacement Payments as set forth in Section 1.13(c).

The Initial Cash Merger Consideration as adjusted at Closing pursuant to Section 1.11(c) and any deduction for Estimated Company Transaction Expenses as set forth in Section 1.13(b) and for the Option Replacement Payments as set forth in Section 1.13(c) being the “Initial Merger Consideration.”

1.5 Effect on Shares.

(a) Subject to Section 1.5(d) and any applicable backup or other withholding requirements, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each share of Common Stock (including each Restricted Share) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become the right to receive (i) the amount of cash equal to the Common Stock Exchange Amount and (ii) the amount of cash, if any, payable with respect to such Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12 and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share.

(ii) “Common Stock Exchange Amount” shall be equal to (A) the sum of the Initial Merger Consideration plus (y) the aggregate exercise price of all Company Options and all Company Warrants and (z) the amount of all repaid promissory notes pursuant to Section 5.11, divided by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company) plus the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all Company Options and all Company Warrants, calculated in accordance with Schedule 1.5(b)(ii).

(c) Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from each Stockholder’s respective portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of United States federal, state or local, or any foreign, Tax Law. Such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Stockholders in respect of which Parent made such deduction and withholding.

(d) Any and all undeclared or unpaid dividends on the shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled at the Effective Time. Any shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no consideration of any kind shall be delivered in exchange therefor under this Agreement.

1.6 Stockholders’ Rights upon Merger.

(a) Upon consummation of the Merger, certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Certificates”) shall cease to represent any rights with respect thereto, other than, subject to applicable Law and this Agreement, the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration payable hereunder with respect to such shares of Common Stock.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that appraisal rights are available under the DGCL, any shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that have not been voted for adoption of this Agreement, with respect to which appraisal rights have been properly and timely perfected in accordance with the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion, if any, of the Merger Consideration payable hereunder with respect to such shares of Common Stock at or after the Effective Time. If a holder of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, then, as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever later occurs, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive, when and as payable, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such shares of Common Stock hereunder upon surrender of the Certificates representing such shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demand received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Common Stock. Except with the prior written consent of Parent or as may otherwise be required under applicable Law, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

1.7 Stock Options, Warrants, and Other Equity Awards.

(a) Options. At the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Options”), whether or not exercisable or vested, will, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be an option to purchase shares of Common Stock and be cancelled, and the Company shall pay each holder of any such option at or promptly after the Effective Time for each such Company Option an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Common Stock Exchange Amount over the applicable exercise price of such option by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock such holder could have purchased (assuming full vesting of such Company Option) had such holder exercised such Company Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, as more fully set forth on Schedule 1.7(a), less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments. Prior to paying such holder its respective portion of the Merger Consideration, the Company shall obtain from each holder of Company Options an option cancellation agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Option Cancellation Agreements”).

(b) Restricted Shares. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock that was acquired pursuant to any equity or

compensation plan of the Company or other arrangement with the Company and that is then unvested and subject to the Company’s option or right to repurchase such share (each, a “Restricted Share”), shall vest and become free of such restrictions as of the Effective Time and shall, at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive, in cash, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration (less any applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment), in accordance with Sections 1.5(a) and 1.6.

(c) Warrants. At the Effective Time, each Warrant to acquire shares of Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Warrants”) will, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock and be cancelled, and the Company shall pay each holder of any such warrant at or promptly after the Effective Time for each such Company Warrant an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Common Stock Exchange Amount over the applicable exercise price of such warrant by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock such holder could have purchased had such holder exercised such Company Warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, as calculated on Schedule 1.7(c), less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments.

(d) Further Actions. Subject to, and without limitation of, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.7, the Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate so that prior to or at the Effective Time, (i) all options, warrants and other securities convertible into capital stock of the Company and other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire capital stock of the Company shall be canceled or terminated or expire by their terms, and (ii) any plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company shall be terminated, provided, that any such termination will comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, if applicable.

1.8 Deliveries of the Company and/or Representative at Closing. At the Closing, the Company or the Representative, as applicable, shall deliver to Parent:

(a) Pursuant to an exchange agent agreement between Parent and the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”), as of the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent selected by Parent with the Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Common Stock, cash necessary to pay the Initial Merger Consideration to such holders of shares of Common Stock to be paid in connection with the Merger (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund,” it being understood that any and all interest earned on funds deposited therein pending payment shall be turned over to Parent). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, make the payments provided for in this Section 1.10 and the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Parent will cause the Exchange Agent, within five Business Days after the Closing Date, to deliver to each holder of record of a Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Common Stock at the address set forth opposite such holder’s name on Schedule 1.10(b) (as updated from time to time in writing by the Company) a Letter of Transmittal. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with the submission of a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent, the holder of the shares of Common Stock to which such Letter of Transmittal relates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash (without interest), representing such holder’s respective portion of the Merger Consideration calculated in accordance with, and payable when and as provided in, this Agreement, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments. Following the Effective Time and pending a Stockholder’s submission of a Letter of Transmittal, each such holder will be deemed, for all purposes, to hold an irrevocable right to receive that amount of consideration equal to his, her or its respective portion of the Merger Consideration into which such holder’s shares of Common Stock shall have been so converted in accordance with this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may provide to certain holders of shares of Common Stock the Letter of Transmittal and other documentation described above prior to the Effective Time, and any such holder that surrenders a Certificate to the Exchange Agent together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, at or prior to Closing shall be entitled to receive, and the Exchange Agent shall pay promptly after the Effective Time, cash (without interest), representing such holder’s respective portion of the Merger Consideration calculated in accordance with, and payable when and as provided in, this Agreement, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments.

(c) Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, no later than five Business Days after submission of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal by a Stockholder, cash (without interest), representing such holder’s respective portion of the Initial Merger Consideration calculated and payable in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) At or after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the transfer books of the Company of the shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by a holder of shares of Common Stock six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent and any such holder who has not returned a Letter of Transmittal in accordance with this Section 1.10 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such holder’s portion of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Company, the Representative or any other party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Common Stock two years after the Effective Time (or, in either case, such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Government) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.11 Post-Closing Adjustment to Merger Consideration.

(a) “Net Working Capital” means, as of 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date, the excess of the Current Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis over the Current Liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Current Assets” shall mean cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other receivables and inventory reflected on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries but shall specifically exclude any deferred Tax assets and Tax Assets of the

Company or its Subsidiaries and any promissory notes to be repaid pursuant to Section 5.11. For the purpose of computing Net Working Capital, accounts receivable shall exclude any outstanding invoices that relate to customer orders originally booked on or after April 20, 2012 and that include product or services that are not available to be delivered on the Closing Date. Such orders would include, but are not limited to, customer orders that implicitly or explicitly include (i) the promise of delivery of products or features that have not been developed or are not generally available for sale to all customers, (ii) the exchange of currently available product for newer product at some point in the future, (iii) professional services that require in excess of 80 hours of effort, and (iv) extended maintenance services that cover periods greater than 12 months from the Closing Date. “Current Liabilities” shall mean accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, other accrued expenses and deferred rent reflected on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries but shall specifically exclude any deferred Tax liabilities and Tax Liabilities of the Company or its Subsidiaries and the Indebtedness, Company Transaction Expenses and Option Replacement Payments of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) Net Taxes Payable. “Net Taxes Payable” means, with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and the portion of any Straddle Period that ends at 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date, the amount by which (i) the unpaid accrued Taxes of the Company (excluding (A) Taxes attributable to actions taken by the Buyer or the Surviving Company on the Closing Date after the Effective Time outside of the Ordinary Course of Business that are not contemplated by this Agreement and (B) Taxes attributable to the items set forth on Schedule 8.6(h)) (“Tax Liabilities” ), exceeds (ii) any refunds for Taxes attributable to Tax Returns filed on or before the Closing Date and any Tax deposits (excluding any estimated U.S. federal income Tax payments) actually available under applicable Law (“Tax Assets”). All Tax Assets and Tax Liabilities will be as set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet but as of 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with GAAP, except that: (x) the amount of U.S. federal income Tax Liability for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined after giving effect to up to Four Million Eight Hundred Fifty One Thousand Two Hundred Sixty Seven Dollars ($4,851,267) available Pre-Closing Transaction Tax Deductions; (y) the amount of any U.S. federal income Tax Liability for the taxable periods ending on or before December 31, 2011 shall be determined without giving effect to any carryback of any net operating loss attributable to the Pre-Closing Transaction Tax Deductions; and (z) the amount of any other Tax Liability with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall be determined after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Transaction Tax Deductions.

(c) Pre-Closing Estimates. At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement setting forth the calculation of an estimate as of 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), (ii) the Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (iii) the Net Taxes Payable (the “Estimated Net Taxes Payable”) and (iv) the Company Transaction Expenses (such statement being, the “Good Faith Statement”). The Good Faith Statement shall be prepared by the Company in good faith, in a reasonable manner, and in accordance with the accounting

principles set forth on Schedule 1.11(c), consistently applied. Parent shall have reasonable access to copies of the working papers of the Company prepared or used in connection with the Company’s preparation of the Good Faith Statement. Parent shall have an opportunity to review with representatives of the Company and object to all or any part of the Good Faith Statement, such review to be reasonably prompt and any objection to be reasonable and made in good faith. If the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital exceeds Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000) (the “Target Net Working Capital” ), then the Initial Merger Consideration payable at the Closing pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.9(b) shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Target Net Working Capital; provided, however, in no event shall the amount of such increase exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) (the “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount”). If the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital, then the Initial Merger Consideration payable at the Closing pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.9(b) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount by which the Target Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. The Initial Merger Consideration payable at the Closing pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.9(b) shall also be reduced by an amount equal to the Estimated Indebtedness, if any. In addition, if the Estimated Net Taxes Payable is greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the “Target Net Taxes Payable” ), then the Initial Merger Consideration payable at the Closing pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.9(b) shall also be reduced by an amount equal to the amount by which the Estimated Net Taxes Payable exceeds the Target Net Taxes Payable (the “Estimated Excess Net Taxes Payable” ). If the Estimated Net Taxes Payable is equal to or less than the Target Net Taxes Payable, no adjustment will be made to the Initial Merger Consideration for Estimated Net Taxes Payable.

(d) Delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement of Indebtedness. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within 90 calendar days thereafter, Parent shall deliver to the Representative, (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet” ), (ii) a calculation of Net Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries prepared by Parent as of 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date determined using the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), (iii) a calculation of Net Taxes Payable of the Company and its Subsidiaries prepared by Parent as of 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date determined using the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Net Taxes Payable”), and (iv) a statement reflecting the Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Statement of Indebtedness”) using the methodology set forth on Schedule 1.11(c). The total amount of Indebtedness on the Closing Statement of Indebtedness shall be the “Closing Indebtedness.” For purposes of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, take, within a reasonable period of time following the Closing, a physical count of the inventory of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries. Designees of the Representative may observe the taking of such physical count. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as in effect at

the date of the financial statement to which it refers, using and applying (to the extent applicable and not inconsistent with GAAP) the same accounting principles, practices, procedures, policies and methods (with consistent classifications, judgments, elections, inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies) used and applied by the Company in the preparation of the latest Annual Financial Statements (as hereinafter defined) of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, where applicable, using the methodology described on Schedule 1.11(c). To the extent there is any inconsistency between the methodology of GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the accounting principles applied in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements and the methodology described on Schedule 1.11(c), the methodology described on Schedule 1.11(c) shall supersede and be the basis on which the Closing Balance Sheet is prepared.

(e) Audit Rights; Agreement upon the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Net Taxes Payable and Closing Indebtedness. Upon delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement of Indebtedness, Parent shall provide the Representative and its accountants reasonable access to the accountants and accounting records of the Company and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Representative with reasonable access to any and all working papers prepared by the Company or Parent related to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement of Indebtedness, and the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Net Taxes Payable and Closing Indebtedness. If the Representative disagrees with the Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Net Taxes Payable as not being in accordance with GAAP, as in effect at the date of the financial statement to which it refers, using and applying (to the extent applicable and not inconsistent with GAAP) the same accounting principles, practices, procedures, policies and methods (with consistent classifications, judgments, elections, inclusions, exclusions and valuation and estimation methodologies) used and applied by the Company in the preparation of the latest Annual Financial Statements and/or, as applicable, Schedule 1.11(c), or the Closing Statement of Indebtedness or the calculation of Closing Indebtedness as not being in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 1.11(c), or, in either case, as having computational or other errors, the Representative must notify Parent of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement, within 30 days after its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Net Taxes Payable or the Closing Statement of Indebtedness and the calculation of Closing Indebtedness, as the case may be. In the event that the Representative does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such 30-day period, the Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Net Taxes Payable as set forth therein and/or the Closing Statement of Indebtedness and the calculation of Closing Indebtedness as set forth therein, each as delivered by Parent, which, in either or both cases, if not objected to within the relevant 30-day period, shall then be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, Parent and the Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 30 days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and/or the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and/or Closing Net Taxes Payable or the Closing Statement of Indebtedness and/or calculation of Closing Indebtedness, as the case may be. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then Parent and the Representative shall mutually select an independent accounting firm of

recognized national standing (the “Auditor”) to act as a referee to resolve any remaining disagreements. The Auditor shall determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 30 calendar days after the date on which such dispute is referred to the Auditor, based solely on the terms of this Agreement, any remaining disputes. The Representative (or its designee) shall be permitted to submit a proposed Closing Balance Sheet or Closing Statement of Indebtedness, as the case may be, and Parent shall submit the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement of Indebtedness initially sent to the Representative pursuant to Section 1.11(d) (as it may have been modified as a result of discussions between Parent and the Representative so long as such modifications are not adverse to the Securityholders), and, in each case, applicable supporting documentation and to make a presentation to the Auditor in connection with the resolution of any such disagreements, and, without the mutual agreement of Parent and the Representative, the Auditor shall not rely on or consider any other documents, materials, presentations or evidence (other than the plain language of the Agreement) in making its determination. To the extent that a value has been assigned to any disagreement that remains in dispute, the Auditor shall not assign a value to such objection that is greater than the greatest value for such objection claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such objection claimed by either Party. It is the intent of the Parties that the process set forth in this Section 1.11(e) and the activities of the Auditor in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including, in particular, but without limitation, rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The fees and expenses of the Auditor incurred in connection with its review and resolution of any disputes shall be allocated between Parent, on one hand, and the Escrow Amount, on the other, by the Auditor in proportion to the extent either of such Parties did not prevail in the aggregate on items in dispute on their respective Closing Balance Sheets or Closing Statements of Indebtedness, as the case may be; provided, that such fees and expenses shall not include, so long as a Party complies with the procedures of this Section, the other Party’s outside counsel, accounting or other fees. The determination of the Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Net Taxes Payable and Closing Indebtedness as finally determined in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.11 shall be referred to as the “Final Closing Net Working Capital,” “Final Closing Net Taxes Payable” and “Final Closing Indebtedness,” respectively. The date on which the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Final Closing Net Taxes Payable and Final Closing Indebtedness are all finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.11(e) (or the latest date on which any of such calculations is finally determined) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(f) Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Final Excess Net Taxes Payable” means, if the Final Closing Net Taxes Payable is greater than the Target Net Taxes Payable, the amount by which the Final Closing Net Taxes Payable exceeds the Target Net Taxes Payable.

(ii) “Indebtedness Adjustment Amount”, which may be positive or negative, means (A) the Final Closing Indebtedness, minus (B) the Estimated Indebtedness, each expressed as a negative number.

(iii) “Net Taxes Payable Adjustment Amount”, which may be positive or negative, means (A) the Final Excess Net Taxes Payable, minus (B) the Estimated Excess Net Taxes Payable, each expressed as a negative number.

(iv) “Working Capital Adjustment Amount”, which may be positive or negative, means (A) the Final Closing Net Working Capital, minus (B) the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital. In the event that the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount plus the Working Capital Adjustment Amount exceeds Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000), the Working Capital Adjustment Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such excess.

For purposes of convenience only, the Parties agree that upon the final determination of the Indebtedness Adjustment Amount, the Net Taxes Payable Adjustment Amount and the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, such amounts shall be aggregated for the purpose of paying the Adjustment Amount (as defined below) to Parent or the Representative, as the case may be. The sum of the Indebtedness Adjustment Amount, the Net Taxes Payable Adjustment Amount and the Working Capital Adjustment Amount shall be the “Adjustment Amount.” For example, if the Indebtedness Adjustment Amount equals negative One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (i.e., such amount is owed to Parent), the Net Taxes Payable Adjustment Amount equals negative Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (i.e., such amount is owed to Parent) and the Working Capital Adjustment Amount equals positive One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (i.e., such amount is owed to the Securityholders), each as finally determined, then the Adjustment Amount would be negative One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000) and such amount would be owed and payable to Parent in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.10.

(g) Positive Adjustment Payment. If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within five Business Days of the Determination Date, Parent shall deposit (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) in such bank account(s) as may be designated by the Representative, the Adjustment Amount for distribution to the Stockholders (other than any Stockholder who holds Dissenting Shares), the holders of Company Options and the holders of Company Warrants (collectively, the “Securityholders”), without interest; provided, however, in no event shall the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment Amount plus the Working Capital Adjustment Amount exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000). Promptly following deposit by Parent, and subject to Section 1.16(d), the Representative shall distribute to each Securityholder its Percentage of any positive Adjustment Amount.

(h) Negative Adjustment Payment. If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within five Business Days of the Determination Date, the Parties shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) to Parent out of the Escrow Amount an amount equal to

the lesser of (i) the Adjustment Amount, together with any interest earned on that portion of the Escrow Amount equal to the Adjustment Amount or (ii) the full amount of the Escrow Amount, together with any interest earned thereon.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” shall mean, without duplication (i) all indebtedness for borrowed money; (ii) that portion of obligations with respect to capital leases that is properly classified as a liability on a balance sheet in conformity with GAAP (as hereinafter defined); (iii) notes payable and drafts accepted representing extensions of credit whether or not representing obligations for borrowed money (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any trade accounts payable and checks payable to the Company or a Subsidiary, which have been endorsed by the Company or a Subsidiary for collection in the Ordinary Course of Business); (iv) guaranties securing indebtedness for borrowed money; (v) all amounts drawn under outstanding letters of credit; (vi) all deferred compensation obligations, including (A) all payment obligations under the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans (the “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans”) and (B) any underfunded pension, termination indemnity, seniority premium, or post-retirement liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiaries as required to be measured under SFAS 87 or SFAS 106 at the transaction date (the “Underfunded Liabilities”); and(vii) all interest, any premiums payable or any other costs or charges (including any prepayment penalties) on any instruments or obligations described in clauses (i) through (vi) hereof, all as the same may be payable upon the complete and final payoff thereof simultaneous with or promptly following the Closing.

1.12 Escrow.

(a) Escrow Account. On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay (or cause to be paid), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow to satisfy, at least in part, any claims by (i) Parent for satisfaction of any post-closing adjustment pursuant to Section 1.11; (ii) any Parent Indemnified Person for any indemnification claim of any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 8.2; or (iii) any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Escrow Account”). The Escrow Agent shall hold and invest the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Parties agree for all Tax purposes that: (i) the right of the Securityholders to the Escrow Amount shall be treated as deferred purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law, as appropriate; (ii) interest may be imputed on such amount, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code; and (iii) Parent shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amount, or portion thereof, shall be allocable to Parent pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulation § 1.468B-8.

(b) The Representative. Upon any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2, the Representative shall serve as the designated representative of the Securityholders for purposes of receiving notices, contesting claims, and authorizing payments for such claims. If the Securityholders become obligated (whether through mutual agreement between Parent and the Representative or as a result of a final non-appealable judicial determination or otherwise

finally determined pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement) to provide an adjustment, indemnification or another payment pursuant to or in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Parent and the Representative shall, if necessary for the release of funds from the Escrow Account, promptly execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to disburse the appropriate amount from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.\

(c) Representative Holdback. At Closing, Parent shall withhold Five Hundred Thousand Dollars $(500,000) (the “Representative Holdback”) from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Section 1.4 and shall pay the Representative Holdback to an account designated by the Representative. The Representative Holdback shall be held, used and disbursed by or at the direction of the Representative for the purpose of paying fees and satisfying expenses of the Representative incurred in connection with the discharge of its duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including the costs and expenses incurred by the Representative in defending against any claim or liability in performing his duties on behalf of the Securityholders. The Representative shall have the right to recover all costs and expenses incurred hereunder from the Representative Holdback as such costs and expenses arise. If any of the Representative Holdback remains after the Representative has discharged its duties under this Agreement, the Representative shall pay to each Securityholder an amount equal to such Securityholder’s Percentage of such excess. Any portion of the Representative Holdback disbursed by the Representative to the Securityholders shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration unless otherwise required by applicable Laws.

(d) Remaining Balance in Escrow Account. On December 31, 2012, Parent and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent (in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement) to pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) to the account(s) designated by the Representative, any amounts in the Escrow Account in excess of the amount equal to (i) Nine Million Three Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Four Dollars ($9,333,334) (the “Remaining Escrow Amount”) plus (ii) any interest earned on the Remaining Escrow Amount, for distribution to the Securityholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent all or a portion of such excess amount has been claimed by Parent to be owed to a Parent Indemnified Person, such claimed amount shall not be paid by the Escrow Agent on such date. Upon the expiration of the 18-month period following the Closing Date, Parent and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent (in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement) to pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) any remaining amounts in the Escrow Account (which have not then been claimed by Parent to be owed to a Parent Indemnified Person), together with any interest earned on any such amount, to the account(s) designated by the Representative. Promptly following receipt thereof, but subject to Section 1.16(d), the Representative shall distribute to each Securityholder its Percentage of any Remaining Escrow Amount.

(e) Merger Consideration Adjustments. Except for any interest amount(s) paid thereon, any amounts distributed to Parent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.12 shall be deemed to be and treated for all purposes as adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

1.13 Company Transaction Expenses.

(a) Estimated Company Transaction Expenses. At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent an estimate (which estimate shall include such reserves as the Company determines in good faith to be appropriate for any expenses that are not then known or determinable) on Schedule 1.13(a) of the Company Transaction Expenses (segregated by payee, to the extent reasonably known or anticipated), that have been incurred (but not yet paid) prior to Closing and that may be incurred at or after the Closing (“Estimated Company Transaction Expenses”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Transaction Expenses” means all expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries, or, to the extent that the Company or its Subsidiaries may be liable therefore, the Stockholders and the Representative on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and/or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the Merger), including, but not limited to, all accounting, legal, investment banking and commercial banking fees and expenses related thereto. Set forth on Schedule 1.13(a) is a good faith estimate as of the date of this Agreement of all Company Transaction Expenses.

(b) Payment of Estimated Company Transaction Expenses. On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) (i) to Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., the amount indicated in the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses as payable to Vinson & Elkins L.L.P.; (ii) to MHT Partners, L.P. the amount indicated in the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses as payable to MHT Partners, L.P.; (iii) to Phillips & Reiter, PLLC the amount indicated in the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses as payable to Phillips & Reiter, PLLC; (iv) to Grant Thornton LLP the amount indicated in the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses as payable to Grant Thornton LLP and (v) to the Representative or its designee, an aggregate amount of cash equal to the aggregate amount of Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, less any amounts paid under clauses (i) through (iv) above, which the Representative shall use to promptly pay (and in any event within five Business Days) the Estimated Company Transaction Expenses, other than, or in addition to, those referenced in clauses (i) through (iv) above. After payment of the Company Transaction Expenses has been completed, the Representative shall distribute to the Securityholders (other than any Securityholder who holds Dissenting Shares), any remaining cash less any amount of such remaining cash that would be payable with respect to Dissenting Shares if such Shares had not been Dissenting Shares with such amount being paid to Parent.

(c) Option Replacement Payments. On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) to each employee eligible for a payment in lieu of Options upon the completion of the Transaction (“Option Replacement Payments”) the amount specified in Schedule 1.13, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Payments; provided, that the Option Replacement Payments for all of the eligible employees shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

1.14 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Company. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Company shall be as set forth in Exhibits D and E, respectively (the “Surviving Company Organizational Documents”).

1.15 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company.

(a) The directors and officers set forth on Schedule 1.15 shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Company, effective as of the Effective Time, until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

(b) The Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) honor the obligations of the Company under any and all indemnification agreements between the Company and any of its current directors and officers that were in effect on the date hereof, copies of which are attached hereto as Schedule 1.15(b) (each, an “Company Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “Company Indemnified Persons”).

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) cause the Surviving Company Organizational Documents to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses, covering acts and omissions of the Company Indemnified Persons, in each case in their capacities as officers or directors of the Company, occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, which provisions are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the Company Organizational Documents as of the date hereof, and, during such six-year period, except as required by applicable Law, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects the rights of the Company Indemnified Persons thereunder. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have purchased a six-year tail policy or policies (the “Tail Policy“) for its officers’ and directors’ liability insurance on terms consistent with those in effect for the Company immediately prior to the date hereof. Parent shall pay 50% of the cost of such Tail Policy; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent’s portion of such cost exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). Following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain such policy in full force and effect throughout the term of such policy (with no obligation to extend the policy beyond its six-year term) and to continue to honor its obligations thereunder. Except as expressly provided in Section 1.15(b) and (c), for each present and former director, officer, employee, fiduciary and agent of the Company, the Tail Policy, together with any other policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance held by the Company and in effect prior to the Effective Time under which coverage is available, shall be the sole source of indemnification by the Parent, the Company or the Surviving Company.

1.16 Securityholders’ Representative; Actions.

(a) Alexander Pepe has been appointed as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Securityholders for all matters in connection with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (the “Representative”) pursuant to and by virtue of the requisite approval of this Agreement and the Merger by the Securityholders. The Representative will act on behalf of the Securityholders with respect to all matters requiring action by the

Securityholders under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Representative may resign or such agency may be changed by the Securityholders from time to time upon not less than 10 days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Representative may not be removed by the Securityholders unless holders of a majority of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company) plus the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all Company Options and all Company Warrants, calculated in accordance with Schedule 1.5(b)(ii), agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company) plus the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all Company Options and all Company Warrants, calculated in accordance with Schedule 1.5(b)(ii). If for any reason there is no Representative at any time, all references herein to the Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Securityholders. No bond shall be required of the Representative and the Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services other than pursuant to the terms of the Representative Agreement.

(b) The Representative shall take all actions required to be taken by the Securityholders under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and may take any action contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. By giving notice to the Representative in the manner provided by Section 10.1, Parent shall be deemed to have given notice to all Securityholders. Any action taken by the Representative may be considered by Parent to be the action of the Securityholder(s) for whom such action was taken for all purposes of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

(c) In the event that Parent gives notice to the Representative of a claim for which indemnification may be sought, the Representative shall have the authority to determine, in his or her sole judgment, whether to retain counsel (and to select that counsel) to protect the Securityholders’ interests, subject to Section 8.5, whether to consent to indemnification and to make all other decisions required to be made by the Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, whether to consent or withhold his or her consent to any settlement or compromise of a claim.

(d) The Representative shall not be liable to the Securityholders for any act done or omitted hereunder as Representative without gross negligence or bad faith. The Securityholders shall jointly and severally indemnify the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Representative (“Representative Expenses”). The Representative shall have the right to recover Representative Expenses, or to set aside a reserve fund for Representative Expenses reasonably likely to be incurred from any positive Adjustment Amount or any amount to be distributed to the Securityholders from the Escrow Account; provided, however, that while this Section 1.16(d) allows the Representative to be paid from any Adjustment Amount and any amount to be

distributed to the Securityholders from the Escrow Account, this does not relieve the Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Expenses, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10.10 and 10.12, shall constitute a decision of the Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Securityholders; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative.

(e) The Representative agrees that within a commercially reasonable time after receipt of notice of a claim, he or she shall give each Securityholder notice of the same and shall from time to time keep the Securityholders apprised as to developments with respect to such claim. Such notices shall be sent to the Securityholders at their respective addresses as may be communicated to the Representative in writing by the Securityholders.

(b) any fact, condition, change or event that causes or constitutes a breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company hereunder made as of the date hereof;

(c) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;

(d) any notice or other communication from or to any Government in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;

The Company hereby acknowledges that Parent does not and shall not waive any right it may have hereunder as a result of such notifications and any notification given pursuant to this Section 5.2 (including any supplement to the Schedules to this Agreement) shall (i) not have any effect for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, and (ii) not in any way limit or affect the Parent’s exercise of its rights hereunder.

5.3 Access to Information. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement dated as of August 4, 2011 between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the Company shall afford to Parent and to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives of Parent, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, the Company shall furnish promptly to Parent all other information concerning the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request, provided, that no investigation pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall affect or modify any representation or warranty or any liability with respect thereto. Parent shall hold, and shall cause its respective officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives and Affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, (a) the Company shall not be required to take any action that would, in the good faith judgment of the Company, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or similar privilege held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or violate confidentiality obligations owing to third parties; provided, however, that the Company shall make a good faith effort to accommodate any request from Parent for access or information pursuant to this Section in a manner that does not result in such a waiver or violation, and (b) Parent shall not have access to personnel records of the Company relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information that in the Company’s good faith opinion is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject the Company to risk of liability; provided, however, that the Company shall make a good faith effort to accommodate any request from Parent for access or information pursuant to this Section in a manner that does not result in such a waiver or violation. In addition, Parent shall not contact any personnel of the Company regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. All information provided pursuant to this Agreement shall remain subject in all respects to the Confidentiality Agreement.

reputation and outside legal counsel) will lead to a Superior Proposal,(ii) thereafter furnish to such Third Party nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (a copy of which shall be provided, promptly after its execution, for informational purposes only to Parent); provided, that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party) and (iii) following receipt of a Superior Proposal after the date of this Agreement, make an Adverse Recommendation Change, but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) only if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith by a majority vote, after considering advice from outside legal counsel to the Company, that the failure to take such action is inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

7.4 Certain Filings. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another (a) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Government is required or advisable, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material Contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) in taking such actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

7.5 Public Announcements; Confidentiality. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, making any statement or communication to any Third Party (other than their respective Agents, including legal counsel, tax advisors and accountants) or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, if applicable, its termination and the reasons therefor, and, except as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, no Party shall issue any such press release, make any such statement or communication or Schedule any such press conference or conference call without the consent of the other Party.

7.6 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, the Parties shall do such acts and execute such documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to make effective the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any

penalties and interest) incurred by the Company directly or indirectly in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid 50% by Parent and 50% by the Securityholders when due, regardless of whether such Taxes are technically owed by the Company, Surviving Company, Parent, or any of the Subsidiaries of the Company and the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders) will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and if required by applicable Law, Parent will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(b) Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of the Company for any Tax year or period ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”) that are filed after the Closing Date. Parent shall provide Representative with a copy of all Income Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (“Pre-Closing Period Income Tax Returns”) no later than 30 days prior to the due date of each such Pre-Closing Period Income Tax Return. The Representative shall be entitled to propose revisions to any Pre-Closing Period Income Tax Return, so long as any proposed revisions are provided to Parent no later than 10 days after the date on which the Representative received a copy of such Pre-Closing Period Income Tax Return from Parent. Parent will accept any revisions proposed by the Representative to a Pre-Closing Period Income Tax Return unless filing such Pre-Closing Period Income Tax Return with such proposed revisions is reasonably likely to subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to penalties. All Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Returns to be filed pursuant to this Section 7.7(b) shall be borne by the Securityholders and paid to Parent no later than five Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns, but only to the extent such Taxes constitute Pre-Closing Taxes in accordance with Section 8.2(a)(vi).

(c) Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of the Company, the Surviving Company and their Subsidiaries for any Tax year or period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date (“Straddle Period”). Parent shall provide Representative with a copy of all Income Tax Returns of the Company for any Straddle Period (“Straddle Period Income Tax Returns”) no later than 30 days prior to the due date of each such Straddle Period Income Tax Return. The Representative shall be entitled to propose revisions to any Straddle Period Income Tax Return, so long as any proposed revisions are provided to Parent no later than 10 days after the date on which the Representative received a copy of such Straddle Period Income Tax Return from Parent. Parent will accept any revisions proposed by the Representative to a Straddle Period Income Tax Return unless filing such Straddle Period Income Tax Return with such proposed revisions is reasonably likely to subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to penalties. All Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Returns to be filed pursuant to this Section 7.7(c) shall be borne by the Securityholders and paid to Parent no later than five Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns, but only to the extent such Taxes constitute Pre-Closing Taxes in accordance with Section 8.2(a)(vi). For the purposes of this Sections 7.7(c) and 8.2(a)(vi), in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending at 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than any Income Tax, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax

for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending at 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Income Tax, be deemed to be equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended at 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date, excluding any Taxes attributable to actions taken by the Buyer on the Closing Date after the Effective Time outside of the Ordinary Course of Business that are not contemplated by this Agreement. All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocations described in this Section 7.7(c) shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Company or the appropriate Subsidiary of the Company, except for changes required by Law or fact. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided, that such prior practices are in accordance with applicable Law.

(d) The Representative and Parent agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practical, such information (including reasonable access to books and records, Tax Returns and Tax filings) and assistance as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, the conduct of any Tax audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax matter. The Representative and Parent shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax audit or other Tax proceedings and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 7.7. Any Tax audit or other Tax proceeding shall be deemed to be a Third-Person Claim subject to the procedures set forth in Section 8.5 of this Agreement.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto intend that, in conformance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(ii), any Income Tax deductions recognized on the Closing Date that are attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including Tax deductions arising out of payments made to holders of Company Options, Company Warrants, and Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 1.7 and payments of Company Transaction Expenses and Option Replacement Payments (“Pre-Closing Transaction Deductions” ) shall be treated as arising in the Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

(f) Unless required by applicable Law or except as set forth below, no amended Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period shall be filed by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, if such amendment would materially increase the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes borne by Securityholders pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(vi), without the consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For the avoidance of doubt, the Representative acknowledges that Parent intends to amend the Tax Returns of the Company in order to carryback net operating losses generated as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and hereby consents to the amendment of such Tax Returns for such purpose.

ARTICLE 8

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties of the Parties made herein shall survive the Closing and continue in effect

through and including the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties of the Company under Section 2.3 (Capitalization and Related Matters), Section 2.8 (Taxes), and Section 2.24 (Employee Benefit Matters) and the representations and warranties of the Securityholders which are made pursuant to the Letters of Transmittal or in similar agreements shall survive the Closing and continue in effect until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations with respect to the matters addressed therein (including any extensions or tollings thereof). The covenants made by the Parties herein shall survive in accordance with their respective terms, and if no specific term is specified, in perpetuity. Any claims under this Agreement with respect to a breach of a representation and warranty or covenant must be asserted by written notice within the applicable survival period contemplated by this Section 8.1, and if such a notice is given, the survival period for such representation and warranty shall continue until the claim is fully resolved.

8.2 Indemnification of Parent.

(a) Pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Letters of Transmittal, the Option Cancellation Agreements, and the Warrant Termination Agreements and subject to the limitations contained in this Article 8, Parent and its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Surviving Company and the Company) and the stockholders, directors, officers, partners, employees, successors, assigns, representatives and agents of each of them in their capacities as such (the “Parent Indemnified Persons”), shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against, any and all claims, losses, judgments, orders, damages, liabilities, expenses or costs (“Losses”), plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred or accrued in connection with Losses and/or enforcement of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other ancillary document and interest on the amount of such Losses at the Prime Rate, as it appears in The Wall Street Journal, from the date that such Losses were actually incurred until the day immediately prior to the date of payment to the Indemnified Party, determined based on a 360-day year (in all, “Indemnified Losses”), incurred or to be incurred by any of them resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement;

(ii) any nonfulfillment, nonperformance, nonobservance or other breach or violation, or default in performance by the Company (in the case of the Company, prior to or at the Closing) or the Representative of, any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other ancillary document;

(iii) any Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing, but only to the extent not taken into account in determining the Initial Merger Consideration;

(iv) any Company Transaction Expenses, but only to the extent not taken into account in determining the Initial Merger Consideration;

(v) any claims for appraisal or dissenters’ rights with respect to any Shares under Delaware Law or any other applicable Law, provided, that, except in the case of claims made by the Stockholders identified in Schedule 8.2(a)(v), such claims result in a per share consideration greater than the amount of Merger Consideration such Share would have otherwise been entitled to hereunder;

(vi) the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Taxes or their liability, if any, for Taxes of others, including, but not limited to, Securityholders or any Affiliate of Securityholders, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion of any Straddle Period ending at 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on the Closing Date, but only (A) to the extent such Taxes are not reflected as a Tax Liability in the calculation of Final Closing Net Taxes Payable and (B) to the extent such Taxes exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) minus Final Closing Net Taxes Payable, such number not to be less than zero (“Pre-Closing Taxes”); or

(vii) the matters set forth on Schedule 8.2(a)(vii) (the “Scheduled Indemnity Matters“).

From and after the Closing, in consideration of the Parent’s agreement to pay the Merger Consideration, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby agreed to and acknowledged), by execution of the Letters of Transmittal, the Option Cancellation Agreements, the Warrant Termination Agreements or other similar agreements, the Securityholders shall severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless each of the Parent Indemnified Persons from and against, and each Securityholder shall thereby waive any claim for contribution or indemnity from any of the Parent Indemnified Persons with respect to such Securityholder’s Percentage of, any Indemnified Losses incurred or to be incurred by any of the Parent Indemnified Persons resulting from, arising out of, Section 8.2(a)(i) through Section 8.2(a)(vii), fraud by the Company or fraud by such Securityholder. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Percentage” means, with respect to each Securityholder, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by such Securityholder immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all Company Options and Company Warrants held by such Securityholder immediately prior to the Effective Time), and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by all Securityholders immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all Company Options and Company Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time). Any amounts owed to Parent Indemnified Persons for such Indemnified Losses shall first be paid out of the Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and then, to the extent that such Indemnified Losses exceed the then available balance in the Escrow Account or indemnification for such Indemnified Losses is due after distribution of all amounts from the Escrow Account, pursuant to this Section 8.2. Except for Indemnified Losses resulting from, arising out of, or directly or indirectly connected to such Securityholder’s fraud, a Securityholder’s obligations under this Section 8.2(a) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration paid or payable to such Securityholder.

(b) By execution of a Letter of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreement, Warrant Termination Agreement or other similar agreement, each Securityholder shall severally and not jointly hold the Parent Indemnified Persons harmless and indemnify each of them from and against, and each Securityholder waives any claim for contribution or indemnity from any of the Parent Indemnified Persons (including the Surviving Company and the Company) with respect to, any and all Indemnified Losses incurred or to be incurred by any of them resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by such Securityholder in a Letter of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreement, Warrant Termination Agreement or other similar agreement, it being agreed and acknowledged that with respect this Section 8.2(b)(i) each Securityholder is providing indemnity only with respect to breaches of representations and warranties made by such Securityholder in a Letter of Transmittal, the Option Cancellation Agreement, the Warrant Termination Agreement or other similar agreement and not those of any other Securityholder in any other Letter of Transmittal, the Option Cancellation Agreement, the Warrant Termination Agreement or other similar agreement, and that each Securityholder shall be liable under this Section 8.2(b)(i) only for the Indemnified Losses for which such Securityholder is providing indemnity under this Section 8.2(b)(i), without being limited to such Securityholder’s Percentage thereof and no other Securityholder shall be liable for any such Indemnified Losses; or

(ii) any nonfulfillment, nonperformance, nonobservance or other breach or violation, or default in performance, by such Securityholder of any covenant or agreement of such Securityholder contained in such Letter of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreements, Warrant Termination Agreements or other similar agreement, it being agreed and acknowledged that with respect to this Section 8.2(b)(ii) each Securityholder is providing indemnity only with respect to the nonfulfillment, nonperformance, nonobservance or other breach or violation, or default in performance, of the covenants and agreements made by such Securityholder in such Letter of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreement, the Warrant Termination Agreement or other similar agreement and not with respect to those of any other Securityholders in any other Letter of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreement, the Warrant Termination Agreement or other similar agreement, and that each Securityholder shall be liable under this Section 8.2(b)(ii) only for the Indemnified Losses for which such Securityholder is providing indemnity under this Section 8.2(b)(ii), without being limited to such Securityholder’s Percentage thereof and no other Securityholder shall be liable for any such Indemnified Losses.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Parent Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover any Indemnified Losses to which they are entitled hereunder from the Company under this Agreement. From and after the Closing, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover any Indemnified Losses to which they are entitled hereunder from the Escrow Account and the Securityholders under this Agreement, the Letters of Transmittal, the Option Cancellation Agreements, and the Warrant Termination Agreements.

(d) For all Tax purposes, all indemnification payments under this Article 8 shall be treated by the Parties as adjustments to the Merger Consideration to the extent permitted by applicable law.

8.3 Indemnification of the Securityholders. Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 8, Parent shall hold the Securityholders, and the members, directors, officers, partners, employees, successors, assigns, representatives and agents of each of them in their capacities as such (the “Securityholders Indemnified Persons”) harmless and indemnify each of them from and against any and all Indemnified Losses incurred or to be incurred by any of them, resulting from or arising out of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent in this Agreement or any ancillary document; or

(b) any nonfulfillment, nonperformance, nonobservance or other breach or violation, or default in performance, by Parent of any covenant or agreement of Parent contained in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any ancillary document.

8.4 Notice of Claim. In the event that Parent seeks indemnification on behalf of a Parent Indemnified Person, or the Representative or a Securityholder seeks indemnification on behalf of a Securityholder Indemnified Person, in each case other than a Third Person Claim, such Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give reasonably prompt written notice in accordance with Section 10.1 to the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually damaged and prejudiced thereby. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the amount of any valid, uncontested claim not more than 30 days after the Indemnified Party provides notice to the Indemnifying Party of such amount. For purposes of this Article 8, the Representative has the full authority to act on behalf of the Securityholders and the Securityholder Indemnified Persons as either an Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, provided, that as set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall be deemed to have given notice to all Securityholders pursuant to giving notice to the Representative.

8.5 Right to Contest Claims of Third Persons.

(a) Third Party Claims (Other than the Scheduled Indemnity Matters).

(i) If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder because of a claim (other than the Scheduled Indemnity Matters) asserted by any claimant other than an Indemnified Person hereunder (a “Third Person”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made by a Third Person shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.5, the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (a “Defense Notice”) within 30 days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such claim, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party,

to investigate, contest, or settle the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”), provided, that the Indemnifying Party has unconditionally acknowledged to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligation to indemnify the Persons to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such Third Person Claim and to discharge any cost or expense arising out of such investigation, contest or settlement. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party so acknowledges its obligation to indemnify, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter and to demand and receive from the Indemnifying Party, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to dispute its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, the full amount of the reasonable costs of defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice within said 30 day period, (A) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have the control over said defense and settlement of the subject claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, (C) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing, and (D) the Indemnifying Party, if it is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, will be liable for all costs and settlement amounts paid or incurred in connection therewith.

(ii) In the event that the Indemnifying Party delivers a Defense Notice with respect to such Third Person Claim within 30 days after receipt thereof and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the subject claim, (A) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have control over said defense and, subject to the provisions set forth below, settlement of the subject claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, and (C) the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person; (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (3) the Indemnified Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third Person Claims effected without its consent, in which cases the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.5(a), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control, including the right to select defense counsel, over the defense or settlement of any claim (A) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, (B) that involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (C) that, if unsuccessful, (1) would set a precedent that would materially interfere with, or have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party or (2) would reasonably be expected to exceed the then available balance of the Escrow Account, as mutually determined by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or, if such a determination is not made within 15 days after the date on which the Indemnified Party responds to the Defense Notice by asserting its rights under this Section 8.5(a)(ii), in accordance with its reasonable judgment, or (D) subject to clause (C)(2) above, that imposes liability on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, or, in the case of the

Parent Indemnified Persons, is subject to a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(v). In such event, the Indemnifying Party will still be subject to its obligations hereunder, but the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) The Scheduled Indemnity Matters.

(i) With respect to the Scheduled Indemnity Matters, Parent shall be deemed, without any further action being required on the part of Parent on or after the Closing Date, to have provided to the Representative written notice of such Third Person Claim. Representative shall not have any right to deliver a Defense Notice with respect to the Scheduled Indemnity Matters; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.5, no Indemnifying Party shall be restricted from delivering a Defense Notice with respect to any claims made by a party to the Scheduled Indemnity Matters, which claims do not arise out of or relate to events or circumstances that occurred at or prior to the Closing.

(ii) The Representative, in good faith and on behalf of the Securityholders, shall administer, pursue and control the defense and prosecution of the Scheduled Indemnity Matters, utilizing the Securityholders’ own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent. Parent shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the defense and prosecution of any of the Scheduled Indemnity Matters. Parent shall bear the cost of outside attorneys’ fees and expenses for any such participation. The Representative shall not settle or compromise the Scheduled Indemnity Matters without the consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of Parent and the Indemnified Party unless the conditions set forth on Schedule 8.5(b)(ii) have been met, in which case the consent of Parent and the Indemnified Party shall not be required. For the avoidance of doubt, the Representative cannot agree to any license of any Company Intellectual Property to any Third Person without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Parent’s sole discretion. Parent shall make available to the Representative or his representatives all records or other materials reasonably required for use in defending against and prosecuting the Scheduled Indemnity Matters and shall reasonably cooperate with the Representative in the defense of the Scheduled Indemnity Matters. Following the Closing, the Representative shall maintain, and shall cause the Securityholders to maintain, in confidence any confidential information relating to the Scheduled Indemnity Matters he or they have, and such information (the “Scheduled Indemnity Matters Confidential Information”) shall not be disclosed by the Representative or the Securityholders without Parent’s prior written consent, other than as the Representative or the Securityholders deem necessary in defense or prosecution of the litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative and the Securityholders shall not be entitled to disclose any confidential information relating to any Company Intellectual Property which is not subject to a protective order on the date hereof without the Parent’s prior written consent. In the event that the Representative or any of the Securityholders or their representatives become legally compelled to disclose any Scheduled Indemnity Matters Confidential Information, the Representative shall provide Parent with prompt written notice before such disclosure, such that Parent may either seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy preventing or prohibiting such disclosure or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.5(b) or both. In the event the Representative complies with the preceding sentence and Parent fails to obtain such a

remedy and fails to waive compliance, the Representative shall have the right to furnish that portion of the Scheduled Indemnity Matters Confidential Information that the Representative is legally required, as advised in writing by the Representative’s counsel, to furnish.

8.6 Limitations on Indemnity.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Parent Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to indemnification in respect of any Indemnified Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) unless and until such Indemnified Losses exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Indemnification Threshold”), but thereafter shall be entitled to indemnification in respect of all such Indemnified Losses to the full extent thereof (including the first One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of such Indemnified Losses); provided, however, the Indemnification Threshold limitation shall not apply in any manner whatsoever to the extent the breach results from fraud.

(b) From and after the Closing, the aggregate amount of Indemnified Losses that may be recovered by the Parent Indemnified Persons under Section 8.2(a)(i) shall not exceed Twenty-One Million Dollars ($21,000,000) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate amount of Indemnified Losses that may be recovered by the Parent Indemnified Persons for any breach of Section 2.3 (Capitalization and Related Matters) or Section 2.8 (Taxes) hereof shall be the Merger Consideration, and (ii) neither the Cap nor any other limitation set forth in this Section 8.6(b) shall apply in any manner whatsoever to Indemnified Losses resulting from or arising out of fraud.

(c) The Securityholders shall not have any claim for contribution from or against the Surviving Company as a result of any indemnification or other payments made by any of the Securityholders to any of the Parent Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) No information or knowledge acquired, or investigations conducted, by Parent or its representatives, of the Company or otherwise, shall in any way limit, or constitute a waiver of, or a defense to, any claim for indemnification by Parent or any Parent Indemnified Person under this Agreement.

(e) The amount of any Losses claimed by any Indemnified Person hereunder shall be (i) net of any Tax savings or Tax detriments when and as actually recognized in cash by any Indemnified Person that is attributable to such Losses, and (ii) net of any amounts actually recovered under insurance policies maintained by Parent or the Company; provided, that any increased insurance premiums and other costs resulting therefrom, together with costs incurred in making, seeking and pursuing such insurance claim and obtaining recovery, shall be Losses hereunder.

(f) Parent and the Representative shall cooperate with each other and act in good faith with respect to resolving any claim for indemnification hereunder.

(g) In connection with any Losses for which an Indemnified Person may seek indemnification under this Section 8.6, such Indemnified Person will in its reasonable discretion use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under available insurance coverage; provided, however, that the Indemnified Person shall have no obligation to first submit or to

collect upon any applicable insurance coverage as a precondition to making a claim for indemnification hereunder or obtaining indemnification for Losses therefor, and the Parties hereto agree, without limiting any other rights any Indemnifying Party may have against any Indemnified Person, not to delay in any manner the payment to any Indemnified Person of such indemnification based on the Indemnified Person’s failure to have sought insurance coverage at the time any such claim is made. If the Indemnified Person receives any such amounts subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party (for which the indemnified Losses were not reduced by such amounts), the Indemnified Person will pay over to the Indemnifying Party (which, in the case of the Securityholders will be the Escrow Agent (to the extent that (i) amounts have been paid to Parent out of the Escrow Account and (ii) the Escrow Agreement remains in effect) or the Representative) the amounts of such insurance payments promptly after they are actually recovered.

(h) With respect to the matter set forth on Schedule 8.6(h), for a period from the date hereof through the 90th calendar day following the Closing Date, the Company may take (and, from and after the Closing, Parent specifically agrees to allow the Company to take and to allow the Company to use the Company’s internal resources to take) any commercially reasonable actions, provided such actions do not interfere with the discharge of duties and responsibilities by the Company’s employees and are consistent with good customer relations. The Representative shall provide periodic updates to Parent’s Chief Financial Officer regarding such actions. Should the Company or the Surviving Corporation employ independent contractors with regard to the actions above, such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Securityholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Parent may also address such matter in such manner as is reasonably determined by Parent, so long as such actions do not interfere with the first sentence.

(i) With respect to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(v) which relates to the Stockholders identified on Schedule 8.2(a)(v), Indemnified Losses shall include only that portion, if any, of the per share consideration ultimately paid for Stockholders’ Shares that exceeds the amount of the per Share Merger Consideration payable to such Stockholder hereunder.

8.7 Exclusive Remedies. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnification rights set forth in this Article 8, all of which are subject to the terms, limitations, and restrictions of this Article 8, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after Closing for monetary damages sustained as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty or covenant under this Agreement, except that the foregoing shall not apply to fraud or breach of the representations contained in Article 3. In addition, such limitations set forth in this Article 8 shall not impair the rights of any of the Parties: (a) to seek non-monetary equitable relief, including (without limitation) specific performance or injunctive relief to redress any default or breach of this Agreement, including for the provisions of Article 5 hereof; or (b) to seek enforcement, collection, damages, or such non-monetary equitable relief to redress any default or breach of any other agreement at or prior to Closing hereunder. In connection with the seeking of any non-monetary equitable relief, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties hereto would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties hereto agrees the other Parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in accordance with Section 10.9 hereof.

(g) by the Company if there shall have been a breach by Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary of any of their respective covenants or agreements hereunder, and neither Parent nor Acquisition Subsidiary has cured such breach within five Business Days after notice by the Company thereof, provided, that the Securityholders and the Company have not materially breached any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or the Letters of Transmittal, the Option Cancellation Agreements, the Warrant Termination Agreements or other similar agreements, as applicable, and failed to timely cure such breach;

The Claimed Amount shall be paid by the Escrow Agent out of the Escrow Funds to or at the direction of Parent in accordance with the Release Notice unless the Representative disputes the validity or amount of such claim by notifying Parent and the Escrow Agent in writing, containing a description in reasonable detail of the basis for the dispute and the amount in dispute (a “Dispute Notice”), within thirty (30) calendar days after Parent has provided the Representative with its Release Notice.

Section 7) any amounts in the Escrow Account, which are in excess of the amount equal to (i) nine million three hundred thirty-three thousand three hundred thirty-four dollars ($9,333,334) (the “Remaining Escrow Amount”) plus (ii) any interest earned on the Remaining Escrow Amount plus (iii) all Disputed Amounts outstanding on the First Release Date which have not been resolved in accordance with Section 6 hereof and all Claimed Amounts that have not then been paid to Parent or disputed by the Representative in accordance with Section 6 hereof. Following the resolution of any Disputed Amounts in accordance with Section 6 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Disputed Amounts as provided in the Directive or in written instructions from Parent and the Representative.

7.2. Second Release Date. Promptly following the Second Release Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Representative (for distribution by the Representative to the Securityholders in accordance with this Section 7) the Escrow Funds remaining in the Escrow Account, if any; provided, however, the Escrow Agent shall retain (and not deliver to the Representative) such Escrow Funds in the amount equal to (i) all Disputed Amounts outstanding on the Second Release Date which have not been resolved in accordance with Section 6 plus (ii) all Claimed Amounts that have not then been paid to Parent or disputed by the Representative in accordance with Section 6 hereof. Following the resolution of any Disputed Amounts in accordance with Section 6 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Disputed Amounts as provided in the Directive or in written instructions from Parent and the Representative.

7.3. Distribution to Securityholders. Upon receipt of any amounts from the Escrow Account by the Representative, the Representative shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) calendar days thereafter) distribute all such amounts (less any reimbursable expenses owed to the Representative pursuant to Section 1.16 of the Merger Agreement ) to the Securityholders, which are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto with each Securityholder being entitled to receive an amount (with respect to each such Securityholder, such Securityholder’s “Pro Rata Amount”) equal to the aggregate amount to be so distributed multiplied by the Percentage set forth next to such Securityholder’s name on Exhibit A under the column entitled “Percentage;” provided, however, if any amounts distributed to Parent pursuant to the terms hereof were as a result of an indemnity obligation arising under Section 8.2(b) of the Merger Agreement, then (i) any Securityholder whose breach or violation gave rise to such indemnity obligation shall not be entitled to such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Amount, and instead such Securityholder shall only be entitled to the greater of (A) $0 and (B) the difference between such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Amount and the amount distributed to Parent pursuant to the terms hereof as a result of any such indemnity obligation attributable to such Securityholder (such amount so distributed to Parent the “Individual Obligation Amount”) and (ii) each such Individual Obligation Amount shall be distributed to all other Securityholders in accordance with their Percentages, with, for this purpose, such Percentages increased on a pro rata basis as among such other Securityholders in order to allocate the breaching Securityholder’s Percentage among such non-breaching Securityholders; provided further, if at the time of any distribution by the Representative of Escrow Funds to the Securityholders, any Disputed Amount represents an amount that Parent has claimed it is entitled to as a result of an indemnity obligation under Section 8.2(b) of the Merger Agreement (an “Individual Obligation Disputed Amount”), then (i) all such Escrow Funds other than any Individual Obligation Disputed Amounts shall be distributed by the Representative to the Securityholders, with each Securityholder being entitled to receive its Pro Rata Amount, except that the Securityholder or Securityholders whose alleged breach or violation is at issue with respect to any such Individual Obligation Disputed

Amount shall only be entitled to receive the difference between such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Amount of such distribution and the Individual Obligation Disputed Amount attributable to such Securityholder and (ii) all such Individual Obligation Disputed Amounts shall continue to be held by the Representative until such time as the disputes with respect to such amounts have been resolved in accordance with the terms hereof, at which time such Individual Obligation Disputed Amounts shall be distributed by the Representative in accordance with the terms hereof as if such resolution had been known at the time of the initial distribution of such Escrow Funds. The Representative shall deliver to each Securityholder in connection with each distribution hereunder a statement showing the calculation of the amounts so distributed. Promptly following each such distribution, the Representative shall also deliver to Parent a copy of each such statement so delivered to the Securityholders, together with a certificate certifying that all amounts distributed were distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

8. Certain Covenants. Parent and the Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Securityholders, hereby agree that the interest and other income earned on the Escrow Amount shall be treated for Tax purposes as earned by Parent. Parent and the Representative agree that the Escrow Agent shall report such income to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or IRS Form 1042-S (or other appropriate form) whether or not such income has been distributed during the taxable year. Parent agrees to provide the Escrow Agent with a certified tax identification number by signing and returning an IRS Form W-9 to the Escrow Agent prior to the date on which any income earned on the investment of the Escrow Amount is credited to such Escrow Funds. In addition, Parent and the Representative hereby agree that they will make all reasonable efforts to resolve as quickly as possible any claims still pending pursuant to Section 6 or 7 at the time a disbursement is required to be made hereunder.

9. Joint Written Instructions and Directions; Disbursements. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall deal with the Escrow Funds, or any part thereof, at any time in accordance with any directions given in an undisputed Release Notice or jointly given in writing by Parent and the Representative to the Escrow Agent or in a Directive. The parties hereto agree that all disbursements required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions specified in the notice directing the Escrow Agent to make such disbursement and to or at the direction of Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions specified in the notice directing the Escrow Agent to make such disbursement.

10. Provisions Concerning the Escrow Agent.

10.1. This Escrow Agreement sets forth, exclusively, the duties of the Escrow Agent and no additional duties or obligations shall be inferred herefrom or implied hereby.

10.2. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the validity of any documents or other property delivered to it pursuant hereto, may act and rely conclusively upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give any notice or instructions hereunder, believed by the Escrow Agent to be authorized, has been duly authorized so to do.

10.3. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may in good faith do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except to the extent that any act or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

10.4. The Escrow Agent may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

10.5. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Escrow Agreement unless it shall have specifically consented thereto in writing.

10.6. The Representative, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall each upon demand pay to the Escrow Agent fifty percent (50%) of the amount of all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which the Escrow Agent may incur, and its normal fees for all services rendered, in each case in connection with the discharge of its duties, and the exercise or enforcement of the rights of the parties hereunder. The Escrow Agent may deduct any unpaid fees from the Escrow Funds. In the event the Escrow Agent deducts any unpaid fees for which Parent is responsible hereunder from the Escrow Funds, Parent shall promptly deposit into the Escrow Account Parent’s portion of such unpaid fees and in the event the Escrow Agent deducts any unpaid fees for which any of the Securityholders is responsible hereunder from the Escrow Funds, the Representative shall promptly deposit into the Escrow Account such Securityholder’s portion of such unpaid fees.

10.7. The Escrow Agent may resign by giving written notice to Parent and the Representative of such resignation, specifying a date upon which such resignation shall take effect, which shall in no event be earlier than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, and shall be discharged from its duties and obligations upon the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent as hereafter provided and the delivery to such successor of the Escrow Funds. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, Parent and the Representative shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent who shall be mutually acceptable to them. Any such successor Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent and the Representative and to the resigning Escrow Agent a written instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon it shall succeed to all the rights and duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder, and shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Funds. In the event that a successor Escrow Agent shall not be so appointed by the date of resignation specified by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint as a successor Escrow Agent any national bank, and the parties hereto agree to accept any such successor Escrow Agent appointed by the Escrow Agent.

10.8. In the event of any dispute between Parent or the Representative, or between the Escrow Agent and any one or more of the other parties hereto, with regard to the Escrow Agent or its duties, or any other matter concerning the disposition of the Escrow Funds or in the event that the Escrow Agent, in good faith, is in doubt as to what action it should take

hereunder, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Funds with any court described in Section 10.9 of the Merger Agreement pending the decision of such court, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from action pending, and rely upon, the decision of such court. The rights of the Escrow Agent under this Section 10.8 are cumulative of all other rights which it may have by law or otherwise.

10.9. The parties to the Escrow Agreement (other than the Escrow Agent) hereby agree that the Escrow Agent shall be indemnified from and against any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred, without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agreement, including the expense of defending itself against any claim or liability arising therefrom. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or report to any court despite any statute, custom or rule to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Representative (jointly and severally) agree that any payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 10.9 shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Parent and fifty percent (50%) by the Representative. The Escrow Agent may deduct any unpaid amounts from the Escrow Funds. In the event the Escrow Agent deducts any unpaid amounts for which Parent is responsible under this Section 10.9 from the Escrow Funds, Parent shall promptly deposit into the Escrow Account Parent’s portion of such unpaid amounts and in the event the Escrow Agent deducts any unpaid amounts for which the Representative is responsible hereunder from the Escrow Funds, the Representative shall promptly deposit into the Escrow Account the Representative’s portion of such unpaid amounts.

10.10. Parent and the Representative together may terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder upon written notice specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect. In the event of such termination, Parent and the Representative shall before the date of such termination jointly appoint a successor Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the remaining Escrow Funds to such successor Escrow Agent.

11. Provisions Concerning the Representative.

11.1. Until the later of the Second Release Date or the date on which no Escrow Funds remain held in escrow hereunder, the Representative shall, and shall have full power and authority to, exclusively act on behalf of each Securityholder in connection with all matters relating to this Escrow Agreement and the Merger Agreement. The Representative shall also have full power and authority to give and receive notices by or on behalf of each Securityholder.

11.2. By giving notice to the Representative in the manner provided by Section 12, a party shall be deemed to have given notice to all of the Securityholders and any action taken by the Representative may be considered by any other party to be the action of each such Securityholder for all purposes, including for all purposes of this Escrow Agreement and the Merger Agreement. In addition, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) none of the Securityholders shall be entitled to individually take any action which the Representative is authorized hereunder to take on behalf of such Securityholders and (ii) the failure of the Representative to take any action it is permitted or authorized to take hereunder on behalf of the Securityholders during the applicable time period in which such action is permitted to have been taken by the Representative, including, without limitation, providing any Dispute Notice hereunder or under the Merger Agreement, shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute a complete waiver and release by each Securityholder of the right to individually take any such action.

11.3. In the event that the Representative is unable or refuses to serve, the Securityholders will promptly notify Parent and the Escrow Agent in writing of the designation by the Securityholders of a successor to act as the Representative hereunder.

12. Notices and Written Directions. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Escrow Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and made upon being delivered either by courier or fax delivery to the party for whom it is intended and by depositing such notice, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, in the United States mail, bearing the address shown in this Section 12 for, or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter by, such party:

Wire Instructions:

With respect to those Stockholders who deliver this Letter of Transmittal following the execution of the Merger Agreement, completion and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal with respect to the Shares constitutes assent to the terms of the Merger and constitutes a waiver by the Stockholder of any appraisal or dissenters’ rights with respect to any Shares under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), as the case may be, whether or not the Stockholder has previously made a written demand upon the Company and otherwise complied with the appraisal rights provisions of the DGCL.

In order to induce Parent to cause U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Exchange Agent”) to issue the consideration for the Shares called for by the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder hereby expressly agrees with Parent as follows:

1. Merger Agreement; Escrow Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Merger Agreement (included herewith) and the Escrow Agreement (included herewith). The Stockholder has reviewed those documents and the terms of the Merger described therein. The Stockholder has also reviewed such other materials as the Stockholder has deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this Letter of Transmittal. The Stockholder understands that the Escrow Amount will be retained in the Escrow Account to satisfy, at least in part, any claims by (i) Parent for satisfaction of any post-closing adjustment pursuant to Section 1.11 of the Merger Agreement, (ii) any Parent Indemnified Person for any indemnification claim of any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement or (iii) any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to the Merger Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees to be subject to and bound by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement substantially in the form included herewith, with such changes as the officers of the Company may approve. The Stockholder further acknowledges that the Merger Consideration is subject to certain adjustments more specifically described in Section 1.4 to the Merger Agreement.

2. Representations and Warranties. The Stockholder hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary and the Surviving Company, each of which is true and correct on the date hereof and on the Closing Date and each of which shall survive the Closing.

a. Organization of the Stockholder. If the Stockholder is not a natural person, the Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization.

b. Authority. The Stockholder has full power and authority to enter into this Letter of Transmittal, to perform his, her or its obligations thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement. This Letter of Transmittal constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability hereof or thereof may be limited by bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and general equitable principles.

c. No Violation. The Stockholder is not a party to, subject to or bound by any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, agreement, lien, contract or other instrument or obligation or any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree of any court, administrative or regulatory body, governmental agency, arbitrator, mediator or similar body, franchise or license, which would (i) conflict with or be breached or violated or the obligations thereunder accelerated, increased, extinguished or terminated (whether or not with notice or lapse of time or both) by the execution, delivery or performance by the Stockholder of this Letter of Transmittal or (ii) prevent the carrying out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement or the agreements contemplated hereby or thereby. No permit, consent, waiver, approval or authorization of, or declaration to or filing or registration with, any third person or Government is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Stockholder of this Letter of Transmittal, or the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement. The execution of this Letter of Transmittal and the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement will not result in the creation of any Liens against the Company or the Stockholder or any of the properties or assets of any of them. If the Stockholder is not a natural person, none of the execution and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal by the Stockholder, the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations hereunder, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement will violate, conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other similar charter or organizational documents of the Stockholder.

d. Shares. The Stockholder holds of record and owns beneficially the number of shares of capital stock of the Company set forth next to his, her or its name on Schedule 2.3(b) of the Merger Agreement, free and clear of any Liens. The Stockholder further represents that the above described Certificate(s) represent all of the Shares owned by the

Stockholder and that the undersigned has no right, entitlement or expectation (other than existing Options and Warrants held by the Stockholder) to acquire or receive any additional shares of capital stock in the Company or any dividends, distributions or other payments in respect of the Shares owned by the Stockholder (other than (1) the Stockholder Dividend (as defined in the Information Statement) which will be paid prior to the consummation of the Merger and (2) the cash consideration payable in connection with the Merger). Except as set forth on Schedule 2(d) hereto, the Stockholder is not a party to any option, warrant, purchase right or other contract or commitment (other than this Letter of Transmittal or an Option Cancellation Agreement) that could require the Stockholder to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any capital stock or other equity interest of the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 2(d) hereto, there are no stockholder agreements, buy-sell agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Stockholder is a party or to which he, she or it is bound relating to any shares of capital stock or other equity interest in the Company.

e. Representation by Counsel. The Stockholder: (a) has been represented by independent counsel (or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel and has declined to do so); (b) has had the full right and opportunity to consult with the Stockholder’s attorney and other advisors and has availed himself, herself or itself of this right and opportunity; (c) has carefully read and fully understands this Letter of Transmittal in its entirety and has had it fully explained to him, her or it by such counsel; (d) is fully aware of the contents hereof and the meaning, intent and legal effect thereof; and (e) is competent to execute this Letter of Transmittal and has executed this Letter of Transmittal free from coercion, duress or undue influence. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against the Stockholder before any court or arbitrator or any Government authority which challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or delay the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement. As of the date hereof, to the Stockholder’s knowledge, the Stockholder is not, and none of its properties is, subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award that would prevent, delay or impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal. The Stockholder has received and carefully reviewed the Anue Systems, Inc. Information Statement and Notice of Action By Written Consent and Appraisal Rights dated May 4, 2012 (the “Information Statement”) delivered together with this Letter of Transmittal. The Stockholder has had the opportunity to ask the Company any and all questions the Stockholder may have with respect to the Information Statement, the Merger Agreement and any related documents and has also had the opportunity to consult with the Stockholder’s tax, financial, legal and other advisors regarding the same.

3. Federal Income Tax Considerations. Each Stockholder who is a U.S. person and who is to receive the Stockholder Dividend from the Company and the Merger Consideration in the Merger will be required to furnish the Stockholder’s current social security number or taxpayer identification number on an enclosed Substitute Form W-9 to both the Company and the Exchange Agent. Each Stockholder who is a Non-U.S. person and who is to receive the Stockholder Dividend from the Company and the Merger Consideration in the Merger will be required to furnish the appropriate Form W-8. The undersigned acknowledges that failure to provide this information may result in backup withholding. Such forms, if required, should be completed and submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

EACH STOCKHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH THE STOCKHOLDER’S OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER IN LIGHT OF THE STOCKHOLDER’S OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

4. Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Letter of Transmittal, the Stockholder agrees to use his, her or its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Government authorities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Government, (ii) timely making all necessary filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Merger Agreement, (iv) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties; provided, however, that in no event shall the Stockholder be required to pay any amount of money in order to obtain such third party consent, (v) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Letter of Transmittal or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Government vacated or reversed, and (vi) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fully carry out the purposes of this Letter of Transmittal and the Merger Agreement. In consummating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder shall comply with all applicable Laws.

5. Public Announcements; Confidentiality. Except as may be required by applicable Law, the Stockholder shall not issue any press release, make any such statement or communication or schedule any press conference or conference call with respect to the Merger Agreement or this Letter of Transmittal or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the written consent of Parent. Following the Closing, the Stockholder shall maintain in confidence any information it may have in relation to Parent, the Company or the Surviving Company and such information shall not be disclosed or used by Stockholder without Parent’s prior written consent, unless such information is (i) otherwise publicly available as of the date of this Letter of Transmittal other than as the result of an unauthorized disclosure or (ii) required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable Law.

6. Release.

a. Effective upon the Closing, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives, releases and discharges Parent, the Company or, from and after the Closing, the Surviving Company, and any of their respective Affiliates, and the owners of each of the foregoing, and the directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives, heirs, administrators, predecessors, attorneys, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (the “Releasees”) from any and all liabilities and obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, in his, her or its capacity as a stockholder, manager, member, officer, director or employee of the Company or any other capacity, in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, and whether arising under any agreement or understanding (other than this Letter of Transmittal, the Merger Agreement, any Option Cancellation Agreement, any Warrant Termination Agreement and any of the other agreements executed and delivered in connection with the Merger Agreement) or otherwise at law or equity, and the Stockholder agrees that he, she or it shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from any of the Releasees; provided, that the waivers contained in this Section 6 shall not apply to (i) claims against Parent asserted pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal, the Merger Agreement, any Option Cancellation Agreement and any Warrant Termination Agreement, (ii) any claims for which the facts or circumstances giving rise to such claim first occur following Closing, or (iii) obligations to current employees, officers or directors relating to the payment or provisions of wages, salaries, bonuses, benefits, expense reimbursements and perquisites incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business and accrued or payable at Closing (except for indemnification and insurance provided to officers and directors by the Company as provided in Section 1.15 of the Merger Agreement). In furtherance of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder hereby agrees that he, she or it shall not make any claim for indemnification against any Releasee by reason of the fact that the Stockholder is or was a stockholder, member, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of their Affiliates (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand brought against the Stockholder, and the Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it shall not have any claim or right to contribution or indemnity from any Releasee with respect to any amounts paid by he, she or it pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal or the Merger Agreement.

b. The Stockholder affirms that the matters covered by the preceding paragraphs include, without limitation, (i) any claims under the securities or other laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof, or any foreign jurisdiction, relating to the Merger or the ownership of any of the Shares, (ii) any claims challenging or disputing the validity, enforceability, binding effect or legality of the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iii) any claims for breach of fiduciary duty arising from any actions or inactions at or prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

c. The Stockholder agrees that nothing in this release is an admission by either the Stockholder or any Releasee of any wrongdoing, either in violation of an applicable law or otherwise, and that nothing in this Letter of Transmittal is to be construed as such by any Person. The Stockholder further acknowledges that he, she or it understands this release, the claims he, she or it is releasing, the promises and agreements he, she or it is making, and the effect of his, her or its signing this Letter of Transmittal.

d. The Stockholder hereby waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law which, if applied to this release, would exclude from its binding effect any claim against the Releasees not now known by the Stockholder to exist. This release is intended to be a general release and a covenant not to sue that extinguishes all claims released above and precludes any attempt by the Stockholder to initiate any litigation against the Releasees with respect to the claims released above. If

the Stockholder commences or continues any claim in violation of this release, the Releasees shall be entitled to assert this release as a complete bar. This release is binding on the Stockholder and his, her or its respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, in their own right, and in the rights of others.

e. Solely with respect to the claims released hereunder, Stockholder expressly waives and relinquishes to the fullest extent permitted by law (and to the extent applicable), the provisions, rights, and benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

f. The Stockholder hereby acknowledges that he, she or it has been advised to consult with an attorney before executing this Letter of Transmittal and otherwise in connection with the Merger and all actions contemplated by the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the related documents and that the Stockholder has done so or, after careful reading and consideration has chosen not to do so of the Stockholder’s own volition. The Stockholder hereby acknowledges that he, she or it has signed this release knowingly and voluntarily and with the advice of any counsel retained to advise the Stockholder with respect to this release.

7. Indemnification. Article 8 of the Merger Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by this reference. By virtue of such incorporation by reference, the parties hereto shall be entitled to all of the benefits, and subject to all of the obligations, contained in such Article.

8. Termination. Prior to the Effective Time, this Letter of Transmittal shall be terminated without further action required by any party in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 9 of the Merger Agreement; provided that nothing contained in this Letter of Transmittal shall relieve any party from any liability for any inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach of this Letter of Transmittal prior to the termination. Following Closing, this Letter of Transmittal shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the death or incapacity of one or more or the Stockholder, and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder.

9. Further Actions. The Stockholder will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably deemed appropriate or necessary by the Exchange Agent in connection with the surrender of the certificates that formerly represented the Shares. From and after the Closing, Stockholder shall do such acts and execute such documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

INSTRUCTIONS TO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement referred to in the Letter of Transmittal, the Acquisition Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company and the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock will be converted into the right to receive the Initial Merger Consideration. In order to receive payment of the Merger Consideration, the certificates or other documentation that formerly represented Shares (the “Certificates”) must be forwarded in accordance with the following instructions. Capitalized terms used but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

Letter of Transmittal.

The Letter of Transmittal should be properly filled in, signed and returned, together with the surrendered Certificates, to the Company at the address set forth above. The Letter of Transmittal and Certificates may be mailed or delivered by hand to the address shown on the face of this Letter of Transmittal. In addition, pursuant to Instruction 6 below, the undersigned Stockholder may be required to submit the attached Substitute Form W-9 or other appropriate form to each of the Company and the Exchange Agent to prevent backup withholding on any cash payment made to a Stockholder with respect to the Stockholder Dividend or Shares surrendered in connection with the Merger Agreement and any interest earnings on the Escrow Amount. The method of delivery of all documents is at the option and risk of the surrendering Stockholder, but if sent by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended.

Certificates in Different Names.

This Letter of Transmittal may be used to submit more than one Certificate only if all of the Certificates are registered in exactly the same name. Otherwise, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Certificates. If the Merger Consideration is to be issued to someone other than the registered owner(s) of the surrendered Certificate(s), the Certificate(s) must be duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner(s) thereof or accompanied by a duly executed instrument of assignment in blank, and the signature to the endorsement or assignment must be guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company (not a savings bank) or a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, and the information under “Transfer Instructions” must be supplied. If any of the Merger Consideration is to be mailed to an address different from the record address of your Shares, provide the information under “Special Mailing Instructions.”

Signatures.

This Letter of Transmittal shall be signed by the registered holder(s) of the Certificates submitted herewith. The signatures must correspond with the name(s) as set forth on the face of the Certificate(s), without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If the Certificate(s) submitted herewith are held of record by two or more joint owners, all such holders must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any Certificates are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and proper evidence satisfactory to the Exchange Agent of their authority so to act must be submitted.

Lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Certificates.

The Exchange Agent reserves the right to require additional documentation and/or an indemnity bond in the case of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Certificates. If your Certificates have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, please contact the Company in writing for instructions.

Validity of Surrender; Irregularities.

All questions as to validity, form and eligibility of any surrender of Certificates hereunder will be determined by the Exchange Agent, and such determination will be final and binding. The Exchange Agent reserves the right to waive any irregularities or defects in the surrender of any Certificates, and its interpretations of the terms and conditions of this Letter of Transmittal (including these instructions) with respect to such irregularities or defects will be final and binding. A surrender will not be deemed to have been made until all irregularities have been cured or waived.

Important Tax Information.

Under the United States federal income tax laws, a Stockholder who receives a dividend payment, including in connection with the Stockholder Dividend, or whose Shares are surrendered herewith is required to provide the Company (with respect to a dividend payment) or the Exchange Agent (with respect to payment for Shares) with such Stockholder’s current Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on the enclosed Substitute Form W-9. If such Stockholder is an individual, the TIN is his or her Social Security number. For businesses and other entities, the number is the Employer Identification Number. If the Company or the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct TIN, the Stockholder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In addition, the Stockholder Dividend or the Merger Consideration to which the Stockholder is entitled with respect to Shares surrendered in connection with the Merger and any interest earnings on the Escrow Amount may be subject to backup withholding.

Certain Stockholders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for additional instructions. Exempt Stockholders should furnish their TIN, check the box labeled “Exempt Payee” on the Substitute Form W-9, and sign, date and return the Substitute Form W-9 to the Company or the Exchange Agent.

If backup withholding applies, the Company or the Exchange Agent may be required to withhold a portion of any cash payment made to the Stockholder with respect to the Stockholder Dividend or Shares surrendered in connection with the Merger Agreement and any interest earnings on the Escrow Account. The backup withholding rate is currently 28% but is scheduled to be increased to 31% beginning January 1, 2013. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of backup withholding is treated as an advance payment of a tax liability, and a Stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund from the IRS may be obtained by the Stockholder. Failure to comply truthfully with the backup withholding requirements may also result in the imposition of severe criminal and/or civil fines and penalties.

Purpose of Substitute Form W-9

To prevent backup withholding on any cash payment made to a Stockholder with respect to the Stockholder Dividend or Shares surrendered in connection with the Merger Agreement and any interest earnings on the Escrow Amount, the Stockholder is required to notify the Company and the Exchange Agent of his or her correct TIN by completing the enclosed Substitute Form W-9 and certifying that the TIN provided on Substitute Form W-9 is correct (or that such Stockholder is awaiting a TIN). A Stockholder is also required to certify on Substitute Form W-9 that (i) the Stockholder is exempt from backup withholding, or (ii) the Stockholder has not been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (iii) the IRS has notified the holder that the Stockholder is no longer subject to backup withholding. In addition, the Stockholder must provide its name and address, check the appropriate box regarding its classification for federal tax purposes, and date and sign as indicated.

What Number to Give the Company and the Exchange Agent

The Stockholder is required to give the Company and the Exchange Agent the Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number of the record owner of the Shares for his, her, or its Stockholder Dividend and the Shares being surrendered for payment in connection with the Merger Agreement. See the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for additional information.

Substitute Form W-8 for Foreign Persons

If the surrendering Stockholder is a nonresident alien or foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, instead of submitting a Substitute Form W-9, such Stockholder must give the Company and the Exchange Agent the appropriate Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such Stockholder’s foreign status. If a nonresident alien or foreign entity Stockholder does not provide the Company and the Exchange Agent with the appropriate Form W-8, the Stockholder will be subject to backup withholding on reportable payments.

Please complete both of the Substitute Form W-9s included herewith and return them to the Company with your properly completed Letter of Transmittal and surrendered Certificates.

Page 2

Purpose of Form

A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must get your correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA. Use Form W-9 only if you are U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the requester (the person requesting your TIN) and, when applicable, to (1) certify the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), (2) certify you are not subject to backup withholding, or (3) claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income. The TIN provided must match the name given on the Substitute Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

•

An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

•

A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

•

An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

•

A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income. The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases:

•

The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,

•

The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and

•

The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8.

Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter this number in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN. If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Page 3

How to Get a TIN

If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, obtain Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, at the local office of the Social Security Administration or get this form on-line at www.ssa.gov/online/ss-5.pdf. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer ID Numbers under Related Topics. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) or from the IRS web site at www.irs.gov.

If you do not have a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and Certification of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, you will generally have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

CAUTION: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Payees Exempt from Backup Withholding

Individuals (including sole proprietors) are NOT exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as interest and dividends.

Note: If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete Substitute Form W-9 to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed

Form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status.

The following is a list of payees that may be exempt from backup withholding and for which no information reporting is required. For interest and dividends, all listed payees are exempt except for those listed in item (9). For broker transactions, payees listed in (1) through (13) and any person registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 who regularly acts as a broker are exempt. Payments subject to reporting under sections 6041 and 6041A are generally exempt from backup withholding only if made to payees described in items (1) through (7). However, the following payments made to a corporation (including gross proceeds paid to an attorney under section 6045(f), even if the attorney is a corporation) and reportable on Form 1099-MISC are not exempt from backup withholding: (i) medical and health care payments, (ii) attorneys’ fees, and (iii) payments for services paid by a federal executive agency. Only payees described in items (1) through (5) are exempt from backup withholding for barter exchange transactions and patronage dividends.

(1)	An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a), or an individual retirement plan (“IRA”), or a custodial account under section 403(b)(7), if the account satisfies the requirements of section 401(f)(2).

(2)	The United States or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

(3)	A state, the District of Columbia, a possession of the United States, or any of their subdivisions or instrumentalities.

Exempt payees described above should file Form W-9 to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. FILE THIS FORM WITH THE PAYER, FURNISH YOUR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, CHECK THE “EXEMPT PAYEE” BOX ON THE FACE OF THE FORM IN THE SPACE PROVIDED, SIGN AND DATE THE FORM AND RETURN IT TO THE PAYER.

Payments Exempt from Backup Withholding

Certain payments that are not subject to information reporting are also not subject to backup withholding. For details, see sections 6041, 6041A, 6042, 6044, 6045, 6049, 6050A and 6050N, and their regulations. The following payments are not generally subject to backup withholding:

Dividends and Patronage Payments

•

Payments to nonresident aliens subject to withholding under section 1441.

•

Payments to partnerships not engaged in a trade or business in the United States and that have at least one nonresident alien partner.

•

Payments of patronage dividends not paid in money.

•

Payments made by certain foreign organizations.

•

Section 404(k) distributions made by an ESOP.

Interest Payments

•

Payments of interest on obligations issued by individuals. Note: You are subject to backup withholding if this interest is $600 or more and is paid in the course of the payer’s trade or business. Backup withholding applies to the reportable payment if the payee has not provided a TIN or provided an incorrect TIN.

•

Payments described in section 6049(b)(5) to nonresident aliens.

•

Payments on tax-free covenant bonds under section 1451.

•

Payments made by certain foreign organizations.

•

Mortgage or student loan interest paid to you.

Privacy Act Notice. Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to give your correct TIN to persons who must file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA or Archer MSA or HSA. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS may also provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their tax laws. The IRS may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, or to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws and to combat terrorism.

You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 28% (31% beginning January 1, 2013) of taxable interest, dividends, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to a payer. The penalties described below may also apply.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to Furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil Penalty for False Information With Respect to Withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.

Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the payer discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the payer may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Section 1.3. Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

Section 1.4. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.5. Quorum. At each meeting of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each class of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. For purposes of the foregoing, two or more classes or series of stock shall be considered a single class if the holders thereof are entitled to vote together as a single class at the meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by

majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided by Section 1.4 of these bylaws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own capital stock belonging on the record date for the meeting to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 1.6. Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the President, or in his absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be conducted by inspectors unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall so determine. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at the meeting, provided that (except as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation) the Board of Directors may require a larger vote upon any election or question.

Section 1.8. Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (2) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to

corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and (3) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.9. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.

Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

The vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board unless the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws shall require a vote of a greater number.

The Board may remove any officer with or without cause at any time.

12. Further Actions. The Holder will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably deemed appropriate or necessary by the Company in connection with the surrender of the Warrant.

OPTION CANCELLATION AGREEMENT

This Option Cancellation Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made this [·] day of [·] 2012, by and between Anue Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned holder of Options (the “Optionholder”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement (defined below).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, Ixia, a California corporation (“Parent”), Emily Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Subsidiary”), and Alexander Pepe, as the Representative (the “Representative”), dated May 4, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), on the Closing Date and as of the Effective Time, Acquisition Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with (i) the Company being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”) and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to certain exceptions), each Company Option and each Company Warrant being extinguished and converted into only the right to receive the consideration described in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company previously adopted the Anue Systems, Inc. 2004 Stock Plan (the “Company Option Plan”);

WHEREAS, the Company has previously granted to the Optionholder, pursuant to the Company Option Plan and an Option Agreement (as defined below), one or more stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Company Options”) as listed on the Schedule of Ownership attached hereto. The Company Options listed on the Schedule of Ownership attached hereto constitute all Company Options held by the Optionholder;

WHEREAS, in the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control (as defined in the Company Option Plan), Section 13 of the Company Option Plan provides that each outstanding Company Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation;

WHEREAS, a Company Option is considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Company Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Company Option, the consideration received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, the Optionholder wishes to irrevocably cancel such Company Options and convert such Company Options existing as of the Effective Time into the right to receive, upon consummation of the Merger, the consideration described below (the “Merger Election”).

1. Cancellation of Company Options. The Optionholder hereby acknowledges and irrevocably agrees that: (a) the Company Options (whether or not vested or exercisable) are hereby surrendered, cancelled and terminated, effective as of the Effective Time; (b) the Company Option Plan will be terminated as of the Effective Time; and (c) all of the Company Options will cease to exist and will be automatically cancelled and retired and the Optionholder will cease to have any rights or obligations with respect to the Company Options as of the Effective Time, other than those set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.

2. Consideration. In consideration of the surrender, cancellation and termination of the Company Options and the waiver and releases set forth in Section 5 and Section 9 below, and subject to consummation of the Merger and the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to pay, with respect to each Company Option and subject to the terms of, and at such times as set forth in, the Merger Agreement, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Common Stock Exchange Amount over the applicable exercise price of such Company Option by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock the Optionholder could have purchased (assuming full vesting of such Company Option) had the Optionholder exercised such Company Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, as more fully set forth on the Schedule of Ownership attached hereto (such aggregate amount for all Company Options, the “Optionholder Consideration”). The Optionholder Consideration shall be payable without interest thereon and shall be subject to any applicable withholding of Taxes and all adjustments made in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, including any positive or negative adjustments for purposes of the working capital adjustment, other adjustments or indemnification claims. The Optionholder, to the greatest extent permitted by law, hereby acknowledges that the payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of any and all rights the Optionholder may have under the Company Option Plan, the Option Agreement(s) or otherwise with respect to each and every Option granted to the Optionholder by the Company. Each Option held by the Optionholder shall be deemed at any time after the date the Optionholder executes and delivers this Agreement to the Company to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Optionholder Consideration as provided in this Section 2.

3. Appointment of the Representative. The Optionholder acknowledges that all payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement will be made as provided in the Merger Agreement. The Optionholder agrees that the Optionholder will be deemed a “Securityholder” under, and shall be subject to, the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. The Optionholder hereby irrevocably ratifies the appointment, authorization and empowerment of the Representative as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Optionholder pursuant to Section 1.16 of the Merger Agreement (including with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby). All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred upon the Representative shall survive the death or incapacity of the Optionholder, and any obligation of the Optionholder hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, estates, successors and assigns of the Optionholder.

4. Merger Agreement; Escrow Agreement. The Optionholder acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Merger Agreement (included herewith) and the Escrow Agreement (included herewith). The Optionholder has reviewed those documents and the terms of the Merger described therein. The Optionholder has also reviewed such other materials as the Optionholder has deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this Agreement. The Optionholder understands that the Escrow Amount will be retained in the Escrow Account to satisfy, at least in part, any claims by (i) Parent for satisfaction of any post-closing adjustment pursuant to Section 1.11 of the Merger Agreement, (ii) any Parent Indemnified Person for any

indemnification claim of any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement or (iii) any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to the Merger Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Optionholder acknowledges and agrees to be subject to and bound by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement substantially in the form included herewith, with such changes as the officers of the Company may approve. The Optionholder further acknowledges that the Optionholder Consideration is subject to certain adjustments more specifically described in Section 1.4 to the Merger Agreement.

5. Waiver.

Exhibit H

EXECUTION COPY

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

This NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 4, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Ixia, a California corporation (“Ixia”), and (“Stockholder”), a resident of the State of Texas and a stockholder of Anue Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

RECITALS

A. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Ixia is entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Ixia, Emily Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Ixia (“Acquisition Subsidiary”), the Company and Alexander Pepe, as the initial Representative (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Acquisition Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Ixia. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

B. Stockholder is a stockholder of the Company, and in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, a portion of the Merger Consideration will be paid to Stockholder. Stockholder also has a direct or indirect beneficial or other financial interest in the shares of common stock of the Company listed in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein and, as a result of such interest, will benefit, directly or indirectly, from the Merger Consideration to be paid to the stockholders of the Company holding such shares (as such stockholders are listed in Exhibit A).

C. The Merger Agreement requires that this Agreement be executed and delivered by Stockholder as a condition to the obligations of Ixia under the Merger Agreement.

D. The Company is engaged in the business of (i) designing, developing, researching, manufacturing, supplying, distributing, selling and supporting (A) network monitoring switches and (B) products and systems that emulate networks or monitor or validate the performance of synchronization services, Ethernet operations administration and maintenance (i.e OAM), and protection switching, and (ii) providing related services (the “Business”).

E. The Company has customers throughout the world, and competes globally with firms providing products, solutions and services similar or comparable to, and competitive with, those of the Company.

F. The Company has expended a great deal of time, money and effort to develop and maintain proprietary, trade secret, and other confidential business information relating to the Business which, if misused or disclosed, could be very harmful to the Company. Stockholder recognizes that, as a result of Stockholder’s affiliation with the Company, Stockholder may have had and will be provided and have access to (among other things) the Company’s proprietary, trade secret and other confidential information of or relating to the Company’s business.

G. Stockholder recognizes and acknowledges that the Company, in all fairness, needs certain protection in order (among other things) (i) to ensure that Stockholder does not misappropriate or misuse any proprietary, trade secret or other confidential information relating to the Company’s business, cause injury to the Company’s customer relationships, or take any other action which could result in a loss of goodwill developed for and on behalf of the Company and at its expense, and (ii) more generally, to prevent Stockholder from being positioned to provide others with an unfair competitive advantage over the Company.

H. Stockholder has occupied a position of trust and confidence with the Company prior to the date hereof and has had access to and has become familiar with the Company’s confidential information.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and the covenants, representations, warranties, conditions and agreement hereinafter expressed, the parties agree as follows:

1. Acknowledgements.

(a) Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that he has occupied a position of trust and confidence with the Company prior to the date hereof and has had access to and has become familiar with the confidential information of the Company.

(b) Stockholder recognizes that the covenants set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement are an essential part of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that but for the agreement of Stockholder to comply with such covenants, Ixia and Acquisition Subsidiary would not enter into the Merger Agreement. Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company being acquired by Ixia pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including without limitation, trade secrets and other confidential information of the Company and goodwill acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and that irreparable harm and damage will be done to Ixia if Stockholder takes any action in any way prohibited by such covenants. In addition, Stockholder acknowledges that the Merger Consideration is paid in part as consideration for customer contacts and marketplace reputation developed by Stockholder for the Company, and that such covenants are necessary for Ixia to receive the full benefit of the Merger Agreement.

(c) Stockholder hereby acknowledges the broad territorial scope of the covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement, and acknowledges and agrees that such covenants and restrictions are reasonable in view of, among other things, (i) the narrow range of activities prohibited; (ii) the fact that the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing is international in scope; (iii) the fact that the Business prior to the Closing competes with other businesses that are or could be located in any part of the world; (iv) the confidential, proprietary and trade secret information of the Company to which Stockholder had and/or may have had access; (v) the fact that a business which competes with the Business could greatly benefit if it were to obtain the confidential information of the Company; (vi) the sale and/or transfer of the intellectual property and goodwill of the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (vii) the fact that Stockholder would have an unfair competitive advantage if he were allowed to engage

in the competitive activities prohibited by this Agreement in light of the confidential, proprietary and trade secret information and/or goodwill that Stockholder had as of the Closing, (viii) the fact that Ixia has required Stockholder to make the covenants set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement as a condition to consummating the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ix) the fact that the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Ixia’s interests in and right to use and operate the Business from and after Closing; and (x) Ixia would be irreparably damaged if Stockholder were to breach the covenants set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.

2. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the Merger Consideration and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Stockholder agrees that he shall not:

(a) for a period of four (4) years after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), directly himself or indirectly through or on behalf of any entity, as a principal, employee, partner, stockholder, member, officer, director, agent or otherwise, compete with, assist in or provide financial resources to any activity, person or entity which competes anywhere in the world with the Business, whether conducted by the Company, Ixia and/or any of their respective subsidiaries, as the Business is conducted or planned to be conducted on the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Stockholder from owning 2% or less of the outstanding equity or debt securities of a publicly traded entity that engages in the Business (or any portion thereof) or from performing services as an employee for the benefit of the Company, Ixia and/or any of their respective subsidiaries and accordance with the terms and conditions of such employment;

(b) use or disclose to anyone except authorized personnel of the Company and Ixia any trade secrets or confidential matters concerning the Company, including, without limitation, all information pertaining to secrets, customer lists and credit records, employee data, sales representatives and their territories, mailing lists, consultant arrangements, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development and techniques or plans, research and development programs and plans, business acquisition plans, new personnel acquisition plans, designs and design projects, intellectual property and any other research or business information concerning the Company which the Company currently treats as confidential (whether or not a trade secret under applicable law). If Stockholder is or may be obligated to disclose any such trade secret or confidential information pursuant to applicable law, regulation or legal process, then Stockholder shall provide Ixia with prompt written notice before any such disclosure sufficient to enable Ixia either to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy preventing or prohibiting such disclosure or to waive compliance with the provisions of this Section or both. Nothing herein shall prevent Stockholder from using or disclosing information that is generally available to the public;

(c) during the Restrictive Period, directly himself or indirectly through or on behalf of any entity, as a principal, employee, partner, stockholder, member, officer, director, agent or otherwise, solicit or encourage to leave employment any officer or employee of the Company, Ixia or any of their respective subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, or any person who had been an officer or employee of the Company, Ixia or any of their respective subsidiaries

within the three months immediately preceding the Closing Date (collectively, the “Restricted Employees”), or induce or attempt to induce, or assist anyone else to induce or attempt to induce, any customer of the Company, Ixia or any of their respective subsidiaries to reduce or discontinue its business with the Company, Ixia or any of their respective subsidiaries or disclose to anyone else the name and/or requirements of any such customer or provide goods or services to any such customer in competition with the goods or services of the Company, Ixia or any of their respective subsidiaries; or

(d) for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, directly himself or indirectly through or on behalf of any entity, as a principal, employee, partner, stockholder, member, officer, director, agent or otherwise, hire any one or more of the Restricted Employees; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2(c) above, from and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Stockholder shall not be prohibited from hiring any one or more of the Restricted Employees who are listed in Exhibit B attached hereto.

3. Remedies. If Stockholder breaches the covenants set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, Ixia will be entitled to the following remedies:

(a) money damages (if any) from Stockholder; and

(b) injunctive or equitable relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement, it being agreed that money damages alone would be inadequate to compensate Ixia and would be an inadequate remedy for such breach.

4. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies under Law. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.
