ARTICLE II

THE MERGER

Section 2.1            Effects of the Merger.  At and upon the Effective Time:

(a)           the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation of the Merger pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Agreement of Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”);

(b)           the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that Article I of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall read as follows:  “The name of this corporation is ENTrigue Surgical, Inc.”;

(c)           the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that all references to Merger Sub in the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to refer to “ENTrigue Surgical, Inc.”;

(d)           the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be appointed as the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time until their successors are duly appointed; and

(e)           the members of the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be appointed as the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

Section 2.2            Conversion of Shares.

(a)           Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock.  At the Effective Time, without the need for any further action by any Person, each share of Merger Sub Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub Common Stock are so converted shall be the only shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time.

(b)           Cancellation of Company-Owned Stock.  Notwithstanding Section 2.2(c), each share of Company Capital Stock owned by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(c)           Conversion of Company Capital Stock and Company Options.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of any Company Securityholder or any other Person:

(i)            Company Series C Preferred Stock.  Each share of Company Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of Company Series C Preferred Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any Dissenting Shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive, in cash as set forth herein, an amount equal to the Per Share Series C Merger Consideration.  Each Company Note that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, in cash, an amount equal to the Per Share Series C Merger Consideration multiplied

15

by the number of shares of Company Series C Preferred Stock into which such Company Note is convertible as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.  The Company Warrant, if outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, in cash, an amount equal to the Per Share Series C Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Series C Preferred Stock for which the Company Warrant is exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.  For all purposes of calculating Merger Consideration and the allocation of Merger Consideration among the Company Securityholders (including all calculations of the number of shares of Company Series C Preferred Stock and Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time used therein), the Company Notes and the Company Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to have been converted or exercised, as applicable, into the maximum number of whole shares of Company Series C Preferred Stock into which they were convertible or for which they were exercisable, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If the Company Warrant is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the holder of the Company Warrant will not be required to pay the aggregate exercise price of the Company Warrant in cash in connection with its conversion into Per Share Series C Merger Consideration at the Effective Time, but such amount of aggregate exercise price will be deducted from the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration that is distributed at the Closing to the holder of the Company Warrant.

(ii)           Company Series B Preferred Stock.  Each share of Company Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of Company Series B Preferred Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any Dissenting Shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive, in cash as set forth herein, an amount equal to the Per Share Series B Merger Consideration.

(iii)          Company Series A Preferred Stock.  Each share of Company Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any Dissenting Shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive, in cash as set forth herein, an amount equal to the Per Share Series A Merger Consideration.

(iv)          Company Common Stock.  Each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any Dissenting Shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive, in cash, as set forth herein an amount equal to the Per Share Common Merger Consideration.

(v)           Company Options.  No Company Option shall be assumed by the Purchaser and the Company has taken all necessary action, including obtaining consents and approvals, to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser to cause each outstanding Company Option and the Company Stock Plan to terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Upon cancellation thereof, and subject to the holder of a Vested Company Option executing an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (such agreement, an “Option Holder Agreement”), each In-the-Money Vested Company Option shall be converted into the right to receive in respect of each share of Company Common Stock that was issuable upon the exercise of such Vested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, in cash as set forth herein, an amount equal to the Per Share Common Merger Consideration minus the exercise price of such Vested Company Option.  Upon cancellation thereof, each Unvested Company Option and each Vested Company Option that is not an In-the-Money Vested Company Option shall be extinguished without any conversion thereof or any consideration being paid with respect thereto (subject to any Vested Company Option that is not an In-the-Money Vested Company Option becoming an In-the-Money Vested Company Option upon any payment of post-Closing Merger Consideration).

16

Section 2.3            Merger Consideration.

(a)           Merger Consideration.  The aggregate consideration to be paid by Purchaser hereunder in respect of all shares of Company Capital Stock and Vested Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Merger Consideration”), which amount shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or Section 7.8, shall consist of the following:

(i)            $45,000,000; plus

(ii)           the Earn Out Amount; minus

(iii)          the aggregate amount of the Company Indebtedness outstanding as of the Closing; minus

(iv)          the aggregate amount of all Employee Transaction Related Expenses unpaid as of the Closing; minus

(v)           the aggregate amount of the Merger Expenses; minus

(vi)          the amount by which the Closing Working Capital Threshold exceeds the Projected Closing Working Capital; minus

(vii)         the amount of any Working Capital Shortfall; plus

(viii)        the amount  of any Working Capital Excess.

(b)           Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i)            The Company has prepared and delivered to the Purchaser the Projected Closing Balance Sheet.  The Projected Closing Balance Sheet sets forth calculations of the Projected Closing Working Capital (including a separate calculation of the Tax Accrual) and the amount of Company Indebtedness (including a separate calculation for Employee Obligations), Merger Expenses and Employee Transaction Related Expenses, in each case as of the Closing and before giving effect to the payments to be made at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i)-(iii).  The Projected Closing Balance Sheet (A) reflects the Company’s good faith determinations or estimates of the amounts set forth therein, and (B) has been prepared in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with, and with no changes in, the method of application of the Company’s accounting policies.

(ii)           Within 60 days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Representative a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing (before giving effect to the payments to be made at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i)-(iii)) (the “Closing Balance Sheet,” and the balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing (before giving effect to the payments to be made at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i)-(iii)) that becomes final and binding on the parties hereto and the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) or Section 2.3(b)(iv) being referred to as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”), which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with, and with no changes in, the method of application of the Company’s accounting policies as of the Closing.  The Closing Balance Sheet shall set forth calculations of the Closing Working Capital (including a separate calculation of the Tax Accrual), Merger Expenses, Employee Transaction Related Expenses and the Company Indebtedness (including a separate calculation for Employee Obligations) as of the Closing before giving effect to the payments to be made at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i)-(iii)  (such calculations, the “Closing Calculations”).

17

(iii)          The Closing Balance Sheet delivered by Purchaser and the Closing Calculations set forth therein shall be final and binding on each party hereto and the Company Securityholders, unless Purchaser receives from the Representative a written notice of objection on or prior to the 30th day after delivery to the Representative of the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Dispute Notice Period”).  Such notice shall state in reasonable detail the item or items in dispute and shall state the amount, if any, of any adjustment that should be made to the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Dispute Notice”).  If, after delivery of a Dispute Notice, there is no dispute between Purchaser and the Representative regarding whether an upward or downward adjustment to Merger Consideration should be made, but rather the only dispute relates to the amount of such adjustment, then the lowest amount of adjustment proposed by either such party shall (A) if resulting in an increase in Merger Consideration, be deposited by Purchaser into the Escrow Account, and (B) if resulting in a decrease in Merger Consideration, be released to Purchaser from the Escrow Account, in each case promptly following the delivery of the Dispute Notice.

(iv)          In the event of a dispute regarding the Closing Balance Sheet, Purchaser and the Representative shall each use reasonable good faith efforts to resolve any such objections and any such resolution shall be final and binding on all parties hereto and the Company Securityholders.  If Purchaser and the Representative do not resolve any such dispute within 30 days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Dispute Notice (the “Dispute Date”), then either Purchaser or the Representative may, within 5 Business Days after the Dispute Date, submit such unresolved dispute to the Neutral Accountant.  The “Neutral Accountant” means Ernst & Young LLP or in the event that circumstances create an actual or potential conflict of interest that would impair the Neutral Accountant’s ability to impartially determine any issue presented to it pursuant to this Agreement or if the Neutral Accountant is otherwise unwilling or unable to provide such services, a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Representative.  Purchaser and the Representative shall direct the Neutral Accountant to resolve such remaining dispute within 30 days following such submission, and such resolution shall be final and binding on all parties hereto and the Company Securityholders. If neither Purchaser nor the Representative submits any such unresolved dispute to the Neutral Accountant within 5 Business Days after the Dispute Date, the midpoint between the value specified in the Closing Balance Sheet delivered by Purchaser  and in the Dispute Notice delivered by the Representative for each disputed Closing Calculation shall be the amount of each such Closing Calculation for the purposes of the Final Closing Balance Sheet which shall be final and binding on all parties hereto and the Company Securityholders.  The Neutral Accountant, in undertaking the tasks to be performed by it as provided herein, shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.  The Neutral Accountant’s decision shall be based solely on the presentations by Purchaser and the Representative and not by independent review.  The Neutral Accountant shall address only those matters in dispute and may not allow a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party.  The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant relating to a dispute pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iv) shall be borne by the Purchaser and the Representative (solely on behalf of the Company Securityholders) in proportion to the difference between the Merger Consideration (other than the Earn Out Amount and any adjustments pursuant to Section 7.8) determined by the Neutral Accountant and the respective amounts thereof asserted by the Purchaser and the Representative, respectively, at the time of the initial referral of such dispute to the Neutral Accountant.  If issues in dispute are submitted to the Neutral Accountant for resolution, Purchaser and the Representative will furnish to the Neutral Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Neutral Accountant may request and are available, and each will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Neutral Accountant any material relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Neutral Accountant.  The determination by the Neutral Accountant of the Closing Balance Sheet and the disputed Closing Calculations as set forth in a notice delivered by the Neutral Accountant to Purchaser and the Representative shall be final and binding on all parties hereto and the Company Securityholders.  The Neutral Accountant’s determination may be enforced through a court of competent jurisdiction, but

18

the substance of the Neutral Accountant’s determination shall not be subject to review by a court of competent jurisdiction (or otherwise).

(v)           The amount by which the Closing Merger Consideration determined pursuant to the Final Closing Balance Sheet exceeds the Projected Closing Merger Consideration (less any deposit into the Escrow Account by Purchaser pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.3(b)(iii)) shall be deposited by Purchaser into the Escrow Account.  The amount by which the Projected Closing Merger Consideration exceeds the Closing Merger Consideration determined pursuant to the Final Closing Balance Sheet (less any release from the Escrow Account to Purchaser pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.3(b)(iii) shall be released to Purchaser from the Escrow Account provided such amounts are not then subject to a indemnification claim in accordance with Article VII.  Such deposit or release shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or prior to the 5th Business Day following the date on which the Final Closing Balance Sheet becomes final and binding.

(c)           Earn Out.

(i)            The Company Securityholders shall be entitled to receive the Earn Out Payments set forth on the Earn Out Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, payable in cash on such dates as set forth therein, in each case reduced by any employer-paid portion of any employment and payroll Taxes related to the portion of such payment paid in respect of Company Options.  The parties acknowledge and agree that no separate cash payment of interest will be made by Purchaser with respect to the Earn Out Amount, and Purchaser shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any Tax obligations of the Company Securityholders with respect to any Imputed Interest.  Purchaser shall determine the amount of any such Imputed Interest to be reported to the appropriate Taxing Authority and shall deliver a copy of such determination and calculations to the Representative for review and comment.

(ii)           On the date of each Earn Out Payment, Purchaser shall pay to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Securityholders the aggregate amount of the Earn Out Payment payable on such date.  As soon as reasonably practicable, Purchaser (in consultation with, and subject to the reasonable approval of, the Representative) shall calculate the aggregate Merger Consideration that each Company Securityholder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement as of such time (after giving effect to such Earn Out Payment and including all prior payments of Merger Consideration, including Closing Merger Consideration, any prior Earn Out Payments and any prior releases of the Escrow Amount to the Company Securityholders) (such aggregate Merger Consideration being referred to herein as a Company Securityholder’s “Accrued Merger Consideration”).  Purchaser and the Representative shall deliver to the Paying Agent a calculation, on an individual Company Securityholder basis, of (A) the Accrued Merger Consideration for each Company Securityholder minus (B) the aggregate amount of all payments of Merger Consideration previously made to such Company Securityholder, and instruct the Paying Agent to disburse to each Company Securityholder such difference within three (3) Business Days of receiving the Earn Out Payment from Purchaser and such calculations.

(d)           Calculation of Per Share Merger Consideration.

(i)            The “Preferred Merger Consideration” for each series of Company Preferred Stock shall equal the lesser of (1) the sum of (A) the Uncapped Preferred Consideration for such series of Company Preferred Stock plus (B) the Excess Consideration for such series of Company Preferred Stock as set forth below or (2) the Aggregate Liquidation Cap for such series of Company Preferred Stock.

(ii)           If the Uncapped Preferred Consideration for any series of Company Preferred Stock is greater than the Aggregate Liquidation Cap for such series of Company Preferred

19

Stock, such excess amount shall be allocated pro rata to (A) the shares any series of Company Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time where the Uncapped Preferred Consideration for such series of Company Preferred Stock is less than the Aggregate Liquidation Cap for such series of Company Preferred Stock, if any (the aggregate amount payable under this Section 2.3(d)(ii) for each series of Preferred Stock, the “Excess Consideration” for such series of Preferred Stock), (B) the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (C) the shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of In-the-Money Vested Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  At such a time as the Excess Consideration for a series of Preferred Stock is equal to the difference between (1) the Aggregate Liquidation Cap for such series of Company Preferred Stock minus (2) the Uncapped Preferred Consideration for such series of Company Preferred Stock, such series of Company Preferred Stock shall no longer be entitled to any additional Excess Consideration hereunder and the Preferred Merger Consideration for such series of Company Preferred Stock shall be the Aggregate Liquidation Cap for such series of Company Preferred Stock.

(iii)          The Per Share Merger Consideration for each series of Company Capital Stock (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) shall be as follows:

(A)          The “Per Share Series C Merger Consideration” shall equal quotient of (1) the Preferred Merger Consideration for the Company Series C Preferred Stock divided by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Company Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(B)          The “Per Share Series B Merger Consideration” shall equal quotient of (1) the Preferred Merger Consideration for the Company Series B Preferred Stock divided by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Company Series B Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(C)          The “Per Share Series A Merger Consideration” shall equal quotient of (1) the Preferred Merger Consideration for the Company Series A Preferred Stock divided by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(D)          The “Per Share Common Merger Consideration” shall equal the quotient of (1) the Aggregate Common Merger Consideration plus the aggregate exercise price of the In-the-Money Vested Company Options divided by (2) the sum of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of In-the-Money Vested Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  As used herein, the “Aggregate Common Merger Consideration” shall mean the Merger Consideration minus the aggregate Preferred Merger Consideration for all shares of Company Preferred Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2.3(d)(iii) which the Company represents and warrants constitutes the proper calculation and payment of such Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to the Company’s Charter Documents.  Further, in no event shall the aggregate amount paid to the Company Securityholders exceed the Merger Consideration determined in accordance with Section 2.3(a).

Section 2.4            The Closing.

(a)           Date and Time.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), 401 Congress Avenue, Suite 2500, Austin, Texas 78701 at 10.00 am, Central time, on the later of (i) the date of this

20

Agreement or (ii) on such other date as Purchaser and the Company mutually agree.  The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

(b)           Payments at Closing.  At the Closing, Purchaser shall make, or shall cause to be made, the following payments:

(i)            to the applicable holders of Company Indebtedness (other than the Employee Obligations not yet due) then outstanding all sums then due and payable pursuant to the terms of such Company Indebtedness;

(ii)           to each Person to whom any Merger Expenses are owed, all sums necessary and sufficient to fully pay, discharge and satisfy all Merger Expenses in accordance with the Consideration Certificate;

(iii)          to each Person to whom any Employee Transaction Related Expenses are owed as of the Closing, all sums necessary and sufficient to fully pay, discharge and satisfy all Employee Transaction Related Expenses then due and payable in accordance with the Consideration Certificate;

(iv)          to the Representative, an amount equal to the Expense Fund;

(v)           to the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the Escrow Amount; and

(vi)          to the Paying Agent, an amount equal to the Exchange Fund.

(c)           Completion of the Merger.  Concurrently with the Closing or at such later date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Purchaser, the Agreement of Merger shall be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 2.5            Paying Agent; Deposit of Merger Consideration; Exchange.

(a)           Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and the Representative shall enter into an agreement (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) with Wilmington Trust, N.A. (the “Paying Agent”) which shall provide that at the Closing Purchaser shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Projected Closing Merger Consideration (the amount to be deposited by Purchaser with the Payment Agent, the “Exchange Fund”).

(b)           At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall distribute the form of Transmittal Letter attached hereto as Exhibit F to Company Stockholders, the holders of Company Notes and the holder of the Company Warrant and the form of Option Holder Agreement to the holders of Vested Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  At the Closing, the Company will provide to Purchaser and the Paying Agent all Transmittal Letters and Option Holder Agreements that have been properly completed, duly executed and delivered to the Company at or prior to the Closing.  Promptly following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Company Securityholder (other than Company Securityholders whose Letters of Transmittal or Option Holder Agreements have been delivered at the Closing), a Transmittal Letter (in the case of Company Stockholders, holders of Company Notes and the holder of the Company Warrant) or an Option Holder Agreement (in the case of holders of Vested Company Options).  Subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein including satisfaction by the Company Securityholder of the requirements of this Section 2.5(b), following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall cause the Paying Agent to pay to each Company Securityholder, within the time period specified in the Paying Agent Agreement, an amount equal to the consideration that such Company Securityholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(c) at the Closing, less such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom

21

pursuant to Section 2.7.  Any such payments shall be conditioned on receipt by the Paying Agent of:  (i) in the case of a holder of Company Capital Stock, (A) a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Capital Stock and (B) a duly executed Transmittal Letter, (ii) in the case of a holder of a Company Note, (A) the original Company Note and (B) a duly executed Transmittal Letter, (iii) in the case of the holder of the Company Warrant, (A) the original Company Warrant and (B) a duly executed Transmittal Letter and (iv) in the case of a holder of Vested Company Options, a duly executed Option Holder Agreement.

(c)           In the event any certificate representing shares of Company Capital Stock or any original Company Note or original Company Warrant shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate, Company Note or Company Warrant to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser shall cause Paying Agent, as promptly as practicable following the receipt by Purchaser of the foregoing documents, subject to the terms of Section 2.7 and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, Company Note or Company Warrant that portion of the Merger Consideration represented by the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, Company Note or Company Warrant in exchange therefore which the Company Securityholder has the right to receive.  The Board of Directors of Purchaser may in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, Company Note or Company Warrant (as applicable) to provide to Purchaser an indemnity agreement or bond against any claim that may be made against Purchaser with respect to the certificate, Company Note or Company Warrant alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(d)           Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the Company Securityholders on the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, any portion of any Earn Out Payment that remains undistributed to the Company Securityholders on a date that is 12 months after the payment of such Earn Out Payment or any portion of the Escrow Amount that remains undistributed to the Company Securityholders on a date that is 12 months following the release of such portion of the Escrow Amount, shall, at the request of Purchaser, be delivered to Purchaser to be held in trust for the benefit of the Company Securityholders.  If any Company Securityholder has not received the consideration owed to it hereunder prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority, any such portion of the Exchange Fund, Earn Out Payment or Escrow Amount, as applicable, remaining unclaimed by such Company Securityholder immediately prior to such time shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e)           From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Capital Stock will be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of certificates formerly representing such Company Capital Stock and each holder of any Company Notes, the Company Warrant or any Company Options shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except for the right to receive the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or as otherwise provided by Law.

(f)            At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Capital Stock, Company Notes, Company Warrant or Company Options shall thereafter be made.  If, after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock are presented to the Paying Agent, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the consideration payable with respect to such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(c), subject to Section 2.7.

Section 2.6            Dissenting Shares.  If, in connection with the Merger, any Company Stockholder shall have demanded and perfected its dissenters’ rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, none of the Dissenting Shares shall be converted into a right to receive the consideration otherwise payable to holders of Company Capital Stock as provided in Section 2.2(c), but shall instead be

46

Corporation from conducting the Business as currently conducted.  The Company has not received any written complaint, claim or notice, or written threat of any of the foregoing (including any notification that a license under any patent is or may be required), alleging any such infringement, violation or misappropriation or any request or demand for indemnification or defense from any reseller, distributor, customer, user or any other third party or alleging that the Company has engaged in any unfair competition or unfair trade practices.  The Company has not received any opinion of counsel that any Customer Offering or the operation of the Business, as previously or currently conducted, or as currently proposed to be conducted by the Company during the next twelve months infringes any Intellectual Property right of a third party.

(iii)          If Purchaser and the Representative fail to reach an agreement with respect to any issue resulting from any review of a Tax Return and, if applicable, the Statement related thereto, pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(i) and Section 5.3(a)(ii) at least twenty (20) days before the due date for filing such Tax Return (including any extensions thereof), the disputed issues shall be submitted to the Neutral Accountant.  A resolution with respect to the disputed issues shall be made within ten (10) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (including any extensions thereof) by the Neutral Accountant in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b)(iv) and, in resolving such dispute, the Neutral Accountant shall adopt the Tax position that is “more likely than not to be sustained,” and shall assume that the matter has already been identified by the appropriate Taxing Authority.  If the Neutral Accountant is unable to expeditiously resolve the disputed issues and the Representative and Purchaser are unable to resolve the disputed issues as set forth in Section 5.3(a)(i) and Section 5.3(a)(ii) within ten (10) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (including any extensions thereof), such Tax Return shall be filed by Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation as prepared by Purchaser or the Representative, as applicable, as adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect the Purchaser’s position with respect to any issues still then in dispute and the resolution of any such disputed issues mutually agreed to by the Representative and Purchaser and, if necessary, Purchaser shall cause such Tax Return to be amended and filed with the appropriate Taxing Authority to reflect the Neutral Accountant’s final resolution made pursuant to this Section 5.3(a)(iii).

(iv)          Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown as due on all such Tax Returns or the Statements, as the case may be, prepared in accordance with Section 5.3(a)(i), Section 5.3(a)(ii) and Section 5.3(a)(iii) that are filed after the Closing Date.  In accordance with Article VII, including and subject to the limitations contained in Section 7.3(h), the Company Securityholders shall, jointly and severally, pay to Purchaser the amount of any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns or, in the case of a Straddle Period, on such Statements.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, Purchaser shall elect, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates to elect, to carry forward any Tax attribute arising after the Closing Date that could otherwise be carried back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(b)              Cooperation in Tax Matters.  The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns with respect to the Company or the Surviving Corporation and any audit, litigation, dispute or other proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the request of the other party) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters relating to the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or the Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Purchaser or the Representative shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, allow such party to take possession of such books and records.  The

59

parties hereto further agree, upon request, to use, and to cause their respective Affiliates to use, their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).  Purchaser will (and will cause the Surviving Corporation to) cooperate with the Representative to enable the Representative to utilize the Accounting Firm. Such cooperation may include providing access to books and records and accounting staff, and delegating authority to the Representative under the Accounting Firm’s engagement agreement sufficient for the Accounting Firm to take direction from the Representative, or otherwise ensuring that the Representative will have access to (and the ability to direct, even if indirectly through the Surviving Corporation) the Accounting Firm. For the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Corporation will be responsible for filing the Tax Returns.

(c)           Tax Proceedings.  In the event any Governmental Authority informs the Representative, Purchaser or the Company of any Tax Proceeding, the party so informed shall promptly notify the other parties of such matter; provided that failure to promptly notify shall not reduce the other party’s indemnity obligation hereunder except to the extent such party’s ability to defend against, or participate in (as more fully provided herein), such matter is actually prejudiced thereby.  Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s expense, control the conduct and defense of any Tax Proceeding relating to Tax matters of the Company.  Purchaser shall, however, keep the Representative informed of all developments on a timely basis, shall provide the Representative copies of any and all correspondence received from the Governmental Authority related to such Tax Proceeding and shall provide the Representative with the opportunity to attend conferences, hearings and other meetings with or involving the Governmental Authority and to review and provide comments with respect to written responses provided to the Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Proceeding.  Purchaser shall consult the Representative and obtain the Representative’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to accepting any proposed adjustment or entering into any settlement or agreement in compromise regarding any Taxes to the extent such proposed adjustment, settlement or agreement in compromise would give rise to an indemnification obligation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d)           Transfer Taxes.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (including any transfer or similar tax imposed by states or subdivisions) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by the Company Securityholders.  The Surviving Corporation shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other taxes and fees, and if required by applicable Law, Purchaser will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(e)           Straddle Period Taxes Allocation.  The portion of Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period that are allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined as follows:

(i)            in the case of any Property Tax, the amount of such Property Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Property Tax for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of total days in the entire Straddle Period; and

(ii)           in the case of any Tax that is based on income, sales, revenue, production, or similar items, or other Taxes not described in Section 5.3(e)(i) above, the amount of any such Tax that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of and including the Closing Date.

60

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any franchise Tax paid or payable with respect to the Company shall be allocated to the Tax period during which the gross receipts, income, operations, assets, margin or capital comprising the base of such Tax is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another period is obtained by the payment of such franchise Tax, and if the Tax period to which such franchise Tax is so allocated is a Straddle Period, then such franchise Tax allocated to a Straddle Period shall be determined in the manner set forth in Section 5.3(e)(ii).

(f)            Amended Tax Returns and Claims for Refund.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not file, or permit the Company or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates to file, any amended Tax Return or claim for refund with respect to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the Representative.

(g)           Tax Refunds.  The amount or economic benefit of any refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) of any Tax received by Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company shall be for the account of the Company Securityholders to the extent such refund was not reflected in the computation of the Closing Merger Consideration that has become final and binding pursuant to Section 2.3(b).  In the case of a Straddle Period, the amount or economic benefit of any refund whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) received by Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer in accordance with Section 5.3(e).  The amount of any such refund (including any interest thereon) owing to the Company Securityholders as provided in this Section 5.3(g) shall be paid by Purchaser to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Securityholders within fifteen (15) days after such refund is received, credited or applied as an offset.

(h)           Remediation Framework.  The Company and Purchaser (a) intend to make voluntary disclosure to relevant Governmental Authorities in relevant jurisdictions with respect to sales and use Taxes arising prior to the Effective Time and (b) shall use their respective reasonable efforts to develop prior to the Closing Date a mutually acceptable remediation framework (the “Framework”) relating to sales and use Taxes that would guide the direction and conduct of voluntary disclosure and remediation activities after the Closing Date.  The Framework shall include, among other things, the relevant jurisdictions and a requirement that the Surviving Corporation seek collection of any Tax liabilities from its customers; provided that such collection efforts shall not include persistent collection efforts that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the commercial relationship with the customer at issue or statements that would reasonably be perceived as threats of litigation or arbitration.  Purchaser shall allow a reasonable amount of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date the Surviving Corporation identifies a customer as likely to owe the Surviving Corporation amounts in respect of Taxes) for such collection efforts before seeking indemnification from the Company Securityholders for any related Tax liabilities in accordance with Article VII, including and subject to the limitations contained in Section 7.3(h); provided that Purchaser need not defer seeking such indemnification after December 31, 2013, or, if earlier, sixty (60) days after the payment of any Taxes, interest or penalties to any state as part of the voluntary disclosure settlement; and provided further that any amounts actually recovered from the Surviving Corporation’s customers shall reduce the amount due to Purchaser from Adverse Consequences suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, whether received before or after any related indemnification payments were made by the Company Securityholders from the Escrow Amount or otherwise, and any such amounts actually recovered and not applied to reduce such amounts due to Purchaser from Adverse Consequences shall be for the account of the Company Securityholders and shall be paid by Purchaser to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Securityholders within fifteen (15) days after the later of the Expiration Date and the date of the last of the final agreements with the relevant Governmental Authorities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Surviving Corporation from making alterations to the Framework if in its reasonable judgment the same are required to be made in

61

order to comply with applicable Law.  In the event of any change in the Framework after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall consult with, and take into account any comments or objections of, the Representative prior to reaching a final agreement with the relevant Governmental Authority concerning the payment of such sales or use Taxes.  Purchaser shall keep the Representative informed of all developments relating to the foregoing matters on a timely basis, shall provide the Representative copies of any and all correspondence or other materials received from any relevant Governmental Authority related thereto and shall provide the Representative with the opportunity to review and provide comments with respect to written submissions, responses or other materials provided to any such Governmental Authority and to attend conferences, hearings and other meetings with or involving any such Governmental Authority with respect to such matters.

Section 5.4             Employment and Benefit Arrangements.

(a)               All employees of the Company who accept employment offers made by Purchaser or who continue their employment with the Surviving Corporation (or Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser) after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) may continue in the Benefit Plans and Benefit Arrangements or become eligible for the employee benefit plans and arrangements of Purchaser or its Affiliates (each such plan, a “Purchaser Employee Plan”) on substantially the same terms as such Purchaser Employee Plans are generally offered from time to time to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates.  From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall grant (or cause the Surviving Corporation or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates to grant) all Continuing Employees with credit for any service with the Company earned prior to the Effective Time for eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual purposes solely for purposes of (i) calculating a Continuing Employee’s entitlement to vacation and other paid time off and (ii) Purchaser’s 401(k) plan.  As of the Effective Time, Purchaser will waive (or cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Affiliates to waive) all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any Purchaser Employee Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by an employee under any corresponding Benefit Plan or Benefit Arrangement as of the Effective Time.  For the plan year in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser will cause any covered expenses incurred on or before the Effective Time by any Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Effective Time for such plan year under any applicable Purchaser Employee Plan.

(b)              Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain the Company Severance Plan in full force and effect for a period of at least one year after the Effective Time and Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall be solely responsible for any Post-Closing Severance Obligations.

(c)               Purchaser shall provide (or cause to be provided) each Continuing Employee with salary, wages and bonus opportunities that are no less favorable than what was provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and no less favorable than what is provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates for a period of one year after the Effective Time (or until such earlier time as such Continuing Employee ceases to be an employee of Purchaser or one of its Affiliates).

(d)              Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute or be deemed to be an amendment to any Benefit Plan, Benefit Arrangement or Purchaser Employee Plan; (ii) prevent the amendment or termination of any Benefit Plan, Benefit Arrangement or Purchaser Employee Plan except as provided for in Section 5.4(b); or (iii) limit the right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.  Nothing in this Section 5.4, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person, including without limitation, any current or former director, officer or

62

employee of the Company any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.4.

Section 5.5             Directors and Officers Indemnification.

(a)               The Company has obtained and fully prepaid a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance “tail” policy (the “Tail Policy”) that provides the Company’s current and former officers and directors (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) with such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period ending no earlier than the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time.  The Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain the Tail Policy in full force and effect, for its full term, and shall honor all obligations of the Surviving Corporation under such Tail Policy.  If the Tail Policy is terminated or is cancelled as a result of Purchaser’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or other intentional act during such six-year period, Purchaser shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) obtain a replacement directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy providing equivalent coverage as the Tail Policy with respect to each D&O Indemnified Party for the remainder of such six-year period.  If the Tail Policy is terminated or is cancelled for any other reason, the Representative may obtain a Tail Policy for the remaining portion of the six-year period at the Company Securityholders’ sole cost.

(b)              From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each D&O Indemnified Party in accordance with the indemnification provisions set forth in the Company’s Charter Documents in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time for a period of not less than six (6) years following the Effective Time, irrespective of whether any such provisions are amended at or after the Effective Time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify the D&O Indemnified Parties under this Section 5.5(b), for any Adverse Consequence to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 except to the extent that such Adverse Consequences are reimbursed pursuant to the Tail Policy.

(c)               This Section 5.5 shall survive the consummation of the Merger.  If the Surviving Corporation or its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume in full the obligations set forth in Section 5.5(a), Section 5.5(b) and Section 5.5(c).  The provisions of this Section 5.5 are intended to be for the benefit of, and to grant third-party beneficiary rights to, the D&O Indemnified Parties, whether or not parties to this Agreement, and each of the D&O Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6             Public Announcements.  The timing and content of the initial public announcement of the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be mutually agreed upon in advance by Purchaser and the Company; provided, however, that a party may make any such announcement that it believes, in good faith and based on advice of counsel, is necessary in connection with any requirement of Law (it being understood and agreed that such party shall provide each other party with copies of any such announcement in advance of such issuance); and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prevent the parties and their respective Affiliates from disclosing such information to their respective employees, equity owners, professional advisors and lenders who have a need to know the information and who are bound to confidentiality.

Section 5.7             Parachute Payments.  The Company has obtained from each Person to whom any payment or benefit is required or proposed to be made that could constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) a written agreement waiving such Person’s right to receive all of such payment or benefit (the “Waived Benefit”) so that all of the payment or benefit applicable to

63

such Person shall not be deemed to be an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code, and to accept in substitution for the Waived Benefit the right to receive such remaining payment or benefit only if approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code.  Each such waiver identifies the specific Waived Benefit and provides that if such stockholder approval is not obtained, such payments shall not be made and such Persons shall have no right or entitlement with respect thereto.  Prior to the Closing, the Company has sought stockholder approval in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code of all such payments that have been conditioned on the receipt of such approval.  For the avoidance of doubt (as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-7(b)(1)), the Requisite Consent is not contingent or otherwise conditioned upon the stockholder approval of any payment that has been conditioned on the receipt of such approval solicited pursuant to this Section 5.7.  For purposes of this Section 5.7, “stockholder” means any Person who is a “shareholder” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d)           If any Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any amount under Section 7.1, Purchaser shall, on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnified Party, (i) first, seek recovery from the Escrow Amount for as much of such amount as is available, (ii) second, with respect to any such amount that cannot be satisfied through recovery from the Escrow Amount (and subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 7.3), offset such remaining amount against the amount of any Earn Out Payment that is due and payable (but that has not yet been paid) at the time that such Purchaser Indemnified Party first becomes entitled to receive such amount or at any time thereafter and (iii) third, solely with respect to any such amount that cannot be satisfied through recovery from the Escrow Amount or from an offset against the Next Earnout Payment (and subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 7.3), seek recovery from each Company Securityholder of such Company Securityholder’s pro rata portion of such unsatisfied amount (where such pro rata portion is based on the percentage that the Accrued Merger Consideration received by a Company Securityholder bears to the aggregate amount of Accrued Merger Consideration received by all Company Securityholders).  “Next Earnout Payment” means, with respect to any amount that a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to receive under Section 7.1, (A) the Earn Out Payment that is due and payable (but that has not yet been paid) at the time that such Purchaser Indemnified Party first becomes entitled to receive such amount, or (B) if no such Earn Out Payment is then due and payable, the Earn Out Payment, if any, that is reasonably expected to become due and payable within 120 days, or (C) if no such Earn Out Payment is reasonably expected to become due and payable within 120 days and if the Representative provides a written election to Purchaser within such 120-day period, the Earn Out Payment, if any, that becomes due and payable with respect to the Annual Earnout Period in which such Purchaser Indemnified Party first becomes entitled to

68

receive such amount.  If the Representative provides such written election, the unpaid portion of such amount that the Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to receive under Section 7.1 shall accrue interest, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus eight percent (8%), from and after the day immediately following the end of such 120-day period to and including the date on which such amount has been satisfied through offset of an Earn Out Payment or otherwise paid.  “LIBOR Rate” means the per annum rate of interest at which United States dollar deposits for a period equal to three (3) months are offered in the London Interbank Eurodollar market at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the trading day in such market immediately preceding the last day of such 120-day period, as displayed in the Bloomberg Financial Markets system (or other authoritative source selected by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion).

(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification for (i) any legal fees and expenses incurred or paid by any Purchaser Indemnified Party (without regard to whether the Claim giving rise to such legal fees and expenses relates to acts, omissions, facts or circumstances occurring before, on or after the Closing Date) or (ii) any other Adverse Consequences incurred or paid by any Purchaser Indemnified Party (other than other Adverse Consequences to the extent relating to periods prior to the Closing Date), in each of the foregoing cases solely to the extent based upon, in connection with, resulting from or arising out of any Claim that the Customer Offerings described on Schedule 7.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or the past, current or currently contemplated Exploitation thereof by the Company or by any reseller, distributor or other Person for whose conduct the Company is legally or contractually responsible, or any other activity of the Company (or any other Person for whose conduct it is legally or contractually responsible) in compliance with the intended uses thereof constituted, constitutes or will constitute an infringement upon, or violation or misappropriation of, the Intellectual Property rights described on Schedule 7.3(e).

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating any indemnifiable Adverse Consequences pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, each representation, warranty, covenant and agreement made by the Company, Purchaser or Merger Sub (whether made herein or in any other document, agreement or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement or therewith) is deemed to be made without any qualification or limitation as to materiality (including any qualification or limitation made by reference to “material” or a “Material Adverse Effect”) and, without limiting the foregoing, the words “material” and “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import shall be deemed deleted from any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement for these purposes.

(g)           If any fact, circumstance or event gives rise to a claim pursuant to multiple sections or provisions of this Agreement or any Schedule, agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection with this Agreement, a Person asserting such claim shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to assert its claim pursuant to any or all such sections or provisions, and shall be entitled to each and every remedy available pursuant to each and every section or provision pursuant to which such Person elects, at its sole discretion, to assert such claim.

(h)           The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be reimbursed or paid for any Adverse Consequences pursuant to this Article VII (other than pursuant to Section 7.1(h)) to the extent that such Adverse Consequences are taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital in the Final Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that in the case of Adverse Consequences relating to Taxes and Tax matters (including Indemnified Taxes and breaches or inaccuracies of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.30), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be reimbursed or paid for such Adverse Consequences only to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Adverse Consequences exceeds the Tax Accrual.  The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be reimbursed or paid for any Adverse Consequences pursuant to this Article VII to the extent

69

that such Adverse Consequences are actually recovered by taking such amounts into account in the determination of Net Sales for purposes of calculating any Earn Out Payments.

(i)            The aggregate amount of Adverse Consequences for which the Securityholders Indemnified Parties may be indemnified under Section 7.2(a) shall be limited to $4,250,000.

(j)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Claims based on a finding of fraud shall not be subject to any limitations under this Section 7.3.

Section 7.4            Survival and Expiration of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a)           The representations and warranties of the Company other than the Company Fundamental Representations (whether set forth in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule, or any Company Ancillary Agreement) shall survive the Closing and shall expire on the date that is 18 months from the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”), the Company Fundamental Representations set forth in Section 3.25 (regulatory matters) and Section 3.27 (intellectual property) shall survive the Closing and shall expire on the date that is 36 months from the date hereof and each Company Fundamental Representation (other than the Company Fundamental Representations set forth in Section 3.25 (regulatory matters) and Section 3.27 (intellectual property)) shall survive until the expiration of the longest federal, state, local or foreign statute of limitations applicable thereto; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth above, any Purchaser Indemnified Party (acting in good faith) delivers to the Representative a Claim Notice alleging any inaccuracy in or breach of any such representation or warranty made by the Company, and asserting a Claim for recovery under this Article VII based on such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the Claim asserted in such Claim Notice shall survive the applicable expiration date until such time as such Claim is fully and finally resolved.

(b)           All covenants and agreements of the parties (whether set forth in this Agreement or any Schedule, agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection with this Agreement) not fully satisfied or waived at or prior to the Closing (including the obligations set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2) shall survive the Closing, continue in effect and expire in accordance with its terms.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Claims based on a finding of fraud shall not be subject to any limitations under this Section 7.4.

Section 7.5            Indemnification Procedures.  All claims for indemnification under this Article VII (“Claims”) shall be asserted and resolved exclusively as follows:

(a)           In the event that any Person may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) from any Person obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) or any Claim for which the Indemnifying Party would be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder has been asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness deliver a written notice  (the “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of such Claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim).  The Indemnified Party’s failure to give reasonably prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party as required by this Section 7.5 of any actual, threatened or possible Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party.  For purposes of this Section 7.5 and Section 7.6, solely the Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders) shall be deemed to be (i) the Indemnifying Party with respect to any Claims arising under Section 7.1 and the Indemnified Party

70

with respect to any Claims arising under Section 7.2. In no event may a Securityholder Indemnified Party bring a Claim directly against Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to Section 7.2 or otherwise.

(b)           If an Indemnified Party delivers a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days after delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim, the amount of such Claim shall be conclusively deemed to be owed to the Indemnified Party hereunder.  If the Indemnifying Party makes an objection in writing, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith for 45 days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such Claim.  If they should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.  If they cannot agree, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party may submit the dispute (each a “Dispute”) for resolution in accordance with Section 8.7 to enforce the provisions of this Article VII against the applicable Indemnifying Party.

Section 7.6            Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a)           In the event of a Third Party Claim in which the Company Securityholders are the Indemnifying Party (other than a Third Party Claim (i) contemplated in Section 7.3(e) or (ii) which involves equitable remedies or other non-monetary Adverse Consequences or Adverse Consequences in excess of the Escrow Amount then available and not subject to any Pending Claim), the Representative shall have the right, at its election within 30 days’ of delivery of the Claim Notice, to proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser Indemnified Party.  If the Representative so assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, (i) the Purchaser may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense, (ii) the Purchaser shall (A) provide the Representative with all material information requested by the Representative relating to the defense of such claim, and (B) otherwise cooperate with the Representative in the defense of such claim as the Representative may reasonably request.  In no event may Representative settle, adjust or compromise such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, adjustment or compromise:  (1) involves the payment from amounts available in the Escrow Account (and not subject to other Pending Claims) of monetary damages in an amount less than or equal to the amount of Adverse Consequences for which the Indemnifying Party is potentially liable under this Article VII in connection with such Third Party Claim; (2) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in respect of the Third Party Claim, (3) involves no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, and (4) excludes any injunctive or non-monetary relief applicable to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Third Party Claim (i) contemplated in Section 7.3(e) or (ii) which involves equitable remedies or other non-monetary Adverse Consequences or Adverse Consequences in excess of the Escrow Amount then available and not subject to any Pending Claim, the Purchaser shall have the right, at its election within 30 days’ of the written notice of the Third Party Claim, to proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Representative.  If the Purchaser so proceeds with the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if the Purchaser settles, adjusts or compromises any such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Representative, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Adverse Consequences incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with such Third-Party Claim.

(c)           In the event of a Third Party Claim in which the Purchaser is the Indemnifying Party, Purchaser shall have the right, at its election within 30 days’ of delivery of the Claim Notice, to

71

proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Representative.  If Purchaser so assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, (i) the Representative may retain separate co-counsel at the Company Securityholders’ sole cost and expense, (ii) the Representative shall (A) provide the Purchaser with all material information requested by the Purchaser relating to the defense of such claim, and (B) otherwise cooperate with the Purchaser in the defense of such claim as the Purchaser may reasonably request.  In no event may the Purchaser settle, adjust or compromise such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Representative, unless such settlement, adjustment or compromise: (1) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in respect of the Third Party Claim, (2) involves no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, and (3) excludes any injunctive or non-monetary relief applicable to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.

(d)           Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VII, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that an Indemnified Party is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Adverse Consequences for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, and such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation without prior notice to or consent from the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such Indemnified Party may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VII, and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VII, for any such Adverse Consequences if and to the extent it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VII).

Section 7.7            Release of Escrow Amount.  Promptly following the Expiration Date, Purchaser and the Representative shall take all necessary action to cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Paying Agent for disbursement to the Company Securityholders, the amount, if any, by which the Escrow Amount exceeds the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of indemnification claims previously disbursed to Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant hereto and (ii) the aggregate amount of any unresolved indemnification claims originally made on or before the Expiration Date by Purchaser Indemnified Parties (the “Pending Claims”).  As soon as reasonably practicable following resolution of any such Pending Claim pursuant to the procedures set forth herein, Purchaser and the Representative shall take all necessary action to cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Paying Agent for disbursement to the Company Securityholders, the portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, then remaining and not continuing to be subject to any remaining Pending Claims.

Section 7.8            Adjustment of Merger Consideration.  Any amount paid for indemnification under this Article VII shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all Tax and other purposes and no party shall take any position inconsistent therewith.

Section 7.9            Insurance.  The amount of Adverse Consequences for which an Indemnified Party may make an indemnification claim pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies or indemnification rights of the Company pursuant to any Company Contract with respect to such Adverse Consequences.  Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain recovery under such insurance policies.  To the extent that any payment received by an Indemnified Party under any insurance policy or Company Contract indemnification rights was not previously taken into account to reduce the amount of indemnifiable Adverse Consequences paid to such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered or realized (after deducting

72

therefrom (a) the full amount of the expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery or realization, and (b) any increase in the premium for such policies to the extent arising out of or in connection with such Adverse Consequences), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid to or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in respect of such matter, and (ii) any reasonable amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

Section 7.10          Disclaimer of Special Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party or other party to this Agreement shall be liable to or otherwise responsible to any Indemnified Party or other Person for exemplary, punitive, or special damages (including diminution in value) for any matter indemnifiable hereunder or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the foregoing disclaimer shall not apply to the extent any such damages are actually imposed on an Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is available hereunder.

Section 7.11          Exclusive Remedy.  Except for claims for specific performance of the terms of this Agreement and claims based on fraud, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties (and any other Indemnified Party) with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 7.12          Appointment of Representative.

(a)           Effective as of the Effective Time, by voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger or participating in the Merger and/or receiving any Merger Consideration or other benefits thereof and/or by signing the Transmittal Letter or Option Holder Agreement, the Company Securityholders shall be deemed to have approved the designation of, and designate and appoint, the Representative as the exclusive representative of the Company Securityholders and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Company Securityholder with full power and authority, including power of substitution, acting in the name of and for and on behalf of such Company Securityholder, to take any and all actions and make any and all decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative under this Agreement, including the power and authority to:  (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from Purchaser (on behalf of itself or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party) or other Persons that are required to be given, or that may be given, pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by any Company Securityholder individually); (ii) enter into the Paying Agent Agreement and Escrow Agreement as agent on behalf of the Company Securityholder, perform the Representative’s obligations thereunder and authorize the release or delivery to Purchaser of all or a portion of the Escrow Amount or authorize the offset by Purchaser of all or any portion of any Earn Out Payment in satisfaction of Claims by Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII (including by not objecting to such claims); (iii) enforce the obligations, covenants and agreements of Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; (iv) agree to, object to, pursue, defend, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand litigation of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to Claims by Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party, or against Purchaser, pursuant to this Article VII and do all other things and take all other actions that the Representative may consider necessary or appropriate to resolve any such indemnification claims; (v) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, and submit to review by the Neutral Accountant any matters pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or the Earn Out Plan; (vi) resolve any other dispute with Purchaser over any aspect of this Agreement, including participating in negotiation, mediation or litigation with respect to such disputes and complying with any orders of courts issued in connection therewith; (vii) negotiate, agree to and enter into any agreement (including settlements and releases, and amendments to this

73

Agreement) on behalf of the Company Securityholders to effectuate any of the foregoing, which agreements shall have the effect of binding each Company Securityholder as if such Company Securityholder had personally entered into such agreements; (viii) incur any costs and expenses for the account of the Company Securityholders, manage the payment of such costs and expenses, and make all determinations which may be required or permitted to be taken by the Company Securityholders under this Agreement and (ix) do all other things and take all other actions under or related to this Agreement that the Representative may consider necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and to otherwise effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  This appointment and power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and all authority conferred hereby shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to termination by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity or liquidation or dissolution of any Company Securityholder or the occurrence of any other event or events.  The Company Securityholders shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Representative as provided above, including in connection with this Article VII, Section 2.3(b) and the Earn Out Plan, and Purchaser and other Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Representative acting in the Representative’s capacity as such in connection with all such matters.

(b)           If the Representative shall die, resign, become disabled, dissolve, liquidate, terminate or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the holders of a majority of the Aggregate Participating Share Number as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, within 10 days after such death, resignation, disability, dissolution, liquidation, termination or inability, appoint a successor to the Representative and promptly thereafter notify Purchaser of the identity of such successor.  The Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority of the Aggregate Participating Share Number as of immediately prior to the Effective Time upon not less than 10 days prior written notice to Purchaser.  Any successor to the Representative shall succeed the Representative as Representative hereunder, and all references to the Representative in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to such successor from and after the appointment thereof.  If for any reason there is no Representative at any time, all references herein to the Representative shall be deemed to refer to the holders of a majority of the Aggregate Participating Share Number as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.  No bond shall be required of the Representative.

(c)           The Representative shall receive compensation for its services pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with a written engagement agreement between the Representative and the holders of a majority of the Aggregate Participating Share Number as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and such compensation shall be paid at Closing as a Merger Expense.  The Representative shall be entitled to receive the Expense Fund from the proceeds of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Expense Fund shall be used by the Representative solely for the purpose of paying (a) the out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors) reasonably incurred by the Representative in connection with the administration of its duties under this Agreement and (b) any other Adverse Consequences that the Representative may sustain as a result of any action taken by the Representative without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the administration of its duties under this Agreement or in connection with any dispute arising between the Representative and Purchaser under this Agreement (collectively, “Representative Expenses”).  On July 31, 2018 (or, if any dispute with Purchaser regarding the final Earn Out Payment or any other matter relating to this Agreement is pending on such date, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the final resolution of such dispute), the Representative shall distribute to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Securityholders the amount, if any, of the Expense Fund that has not previously been applied to pay Representative Expenses and the Representative’s engagement pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall thereupon terminate.  The Company Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The

74

Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. For Tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Securityholders at the time of Closing.

(d)           The Representative shall have reasonable access to information about the Surviving Corporation and the reasonable assistance of Purchaser’s and the Surviving Corporation’s officers and employees for purposes of performing the Representative’s duties and exercising the Representative’s rights hereunder, provided that the Representative shall (i) treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to anyone (except on a need to know basis to the Company Securityholders and the Representative’s employees, retained advisors and consultants for such matter who agree to treat such information confidentially) and (ii) not have access to materials or information access which could result in the loss of attorney-client privilege by the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, based on the advice of Purchaser’s counsel.

(e)           Each Company Securityholder shall severally indemnify and hold the Representative harmless from and against any Adverse Consequences that the Representative may suffer or incur in connection with any action taken or omitted by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement (including any Representative Expenses that are not paid from the Expense Fund).  Each Company Securityholder shall bear its pro rata portion (based on the percentage that the Accrued Merger Consideration received by such Company Securityholder bears to the aggregate amount of Accrued Merger Consideration received by all Company Securityholders) of any such Adverse Consequences, in each case as such Adverse Consequence is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Adverse Consequence is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Adverse Consequence attributable to such bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Company Securityholders, any such Adverse Consequence may be recovered by the Representative from (i) the Expense Fund, (ii) the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders and (iii) any Earn Out Payments at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund, the Escrow Fund and the Earn Out Payments, this does not relieve the Company Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Adverse Consequence as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.  The Representative shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any failure or inability of Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person, to honor any of the provisions of this Agreement.  The Representative shall be fully protected by the Company Securityholders in acting on, refraining from acting on and relying upon any written notice, direction, request, waiver, notice, consent, receipt or other paper or document which the Representative in good faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.  The Representative shall not be liable for other Persons’ forgeries, fraud or false representations.  The Representative shall not be liable to the Company Securityholders for (and the Company Securityholders forever waive and release the Representative from) any error of judgment, mistake in fact or Law or any act done or step taken or omitted by the Representative in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (and any act done or step taken or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel, accountants or other administrative or professional advisors or experts shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) or for anything which the Representative may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement, except for the Representative’s own bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(f)            The Representative may engage, and rely upon the advice and opinions of,  legal counsel, accountants or other administrative or professional advisors or experts in the event of any dispute

75

or question as to the construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or as the Representative may deem advisable to carry out its duties hereunder or thereunder, and it shall incur no Liability to Company Securityholders with respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion of such counsel, advisors or experts.

(g)           It is acknowledged by each of the parties hereto that the Company and the Company Securityholders have retained Fulbright & Jaworski LLP (“Fulbright”) to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  Purchaser and Merger Sub hereby agree that in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation), on the one hand, and the Representative and the Company Securityholders, on the other hand, Fulbright may represent the Representative and/or the Company Securityholders in negotiations regarding such dispute even though the interests of the Representative and/or the Company Securityholders may be directly adverse to Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation), and even though Fulbright may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may Fulbright represent the Representative and/or the Company Securityholders in any litigation adverse to Purchaser or its Affiliates.  Purchaser and Merger Sub further agree that, as to all communications among Fulbright, the Company, the Representative and/or any Company Securityholder that relate exclusively to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Representative and the Company Securityholders and may be controlled by the Representative and Company Securityholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation), on the one hand, and a third party other than the Representative or a Company Securityholder, on the other hand, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party.

Section 8.7            Governing Law and Forum.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware without regard to its conflict of law rules.  Any dispute, claim, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any certificate, agreement or other document executed and delivered at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Courts of Delaware (the “Applicable Courts”), except as otherwise provided in Section 8.5.  The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the above designated courts and to the service of process by registered mail, return receipt requested, or by any other manner provided by the laws of Delaware.  By executing and delivering this Agreement and subject in all cases to Section 2.3(b), or Section 7.5, the parties irrevocably (a) accept generally and unconditionally the jurisdiction and venue of the Applicable Courts (and each appellate court located in Delaware) in connection with any such action or proceeding; and (b) waive any objections which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings brought in the Applicable Courts.  The parties hereby further irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.7, for the avoidance of doubt the parties agree that this Section 8.7 shall not impact or interfere with the provisions of Section 2.3(b) or Section 7.5 of this Agreement.

Section 8.8            Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstances is held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to such Person or circumstances in any other

78

jurisdiction, shall not be affected thereby, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement shall be severable.

Section 8.9            Absence of Third Party Beneficiary Rights.  No provision of this Agreement is intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create or confer any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, Affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, employee or partner of any party hereto or any other Person, except for the provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the D&O Indemnified Parties and the provisions of Article VII with respect to Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Securityholder Indemnified Parties, in each case only following the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, following the Effective Time, the rights of the Company Securityholders under this Agreement shall be enforceable only by the Representative on behalf of the Company Securityholders in its sole and absolute discretion (and not directly by any such Company Securityholder).

Section 8.10          Mutual Drafting.  This Agreement is the mutual product of the parties hereto, and each provision of this Agreement has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of each of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto as a result of any rule of construction relating to the authorship of such provision.

Section 8.11          Further Representations.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and represents that it has been represented by its own legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, with the opportunity to seek advice as to its legal rights from such counsel.  Each party further represents that it is being (or has had the opportunity to be) independently advised as to the Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and is not relying on any representation or statements made by any other party as to such Tax consequences.

Section 8.12          Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto (including the Representative).  Any extension or waiver by any party of any provision hereto shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 8.13          Usage.  The defined terms herein shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  All references herein to “Articles,” “Sections, “ “Schedules” and “Exhibits” shall be deemed to be references to Articles and Sections of and Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.  Unless otherwise defined therein, all terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in this Agreement.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”  The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.  Unless otherwise expressly provided, wherever the consent of any Person is required or permitted herein, such consent may be withheld in such Person’s sole discretion.  All references to amounts denominated in dollars shall mean U.S. dollars, except where specifically noted otherwise.  Whenever any payment hereunder is to be paid in “cash,” payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollars.  In the event there is any need to convert U.S. dollars into any foreign currency, or vice versa, for any purpose under this Agreement, the exchange rate shall be that published
