a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into Suros (the &#147;<U>Merger</U>&#148;).&nbsp;As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Suros became a wholly-owned

$44.99 per share (the &#147;<U>Merger Shares</U>&#148;). The value of the Merger Shares was determined based on the average closing price of the Company&#146;s common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten trading days ending

Period</U>&#148;) exceeds Suros revenues for the twelve month period immediately preceding the First Year Measurement Period (the &#147;<U>Base Period</U>&#148;), and the second year deferred payment is equal to one times the amount by which Suros
revenues for the twelve month period beginning on the first day following the First Measurement Period exceeds the greater of the revenue amount for the Base Period or the revenue amount for the First Year Measurement Period. </FONT></P> <P
