WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Merger Sub and the Company deem it advisable and in the best interests of such corporations and their respective stockholders that Merger Sub be merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, such Boards of Directors have approved the Merger, pursuant to which among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company and all options, warrants and other rights to acquire or receive any shares of capital stock of the Company shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration set forth herein;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a material inducement to Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, (i) each of the employees identified on Appendix B-1 (the “Key Signing Employees”) shall have entered into an employment arrangement with Parent or a subsidiary thereof to be effective as of the Closing Date (as defined below) pursuant to his or her execution of an offer letter, a non-disclosure agreement and a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement in forms provided to the Company by Parent (such offer letters and agreements, the “Key Employee Agreements”), (ii) each of the stakeholders of the Company identified on Appendix B-2 shall have entered into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement in forms provided to the Company by Parent (such agreements, the “Key Stakeholder Agreements”), and (iii) each Person who may receive any payments and/or benefits referred to in Section 6.12(e) hereof has executed and delivered to the Company a 280G Waiver, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “280G Waiver”);

WHEREAS, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

1

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the DGCL, (i) Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, (ii) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue to be governed by the DGCL as a (directly or indirectly) wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and (iii) the separate existence of the Company with all of its assets, property rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger.

1.2 Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles VII and VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), but no earlier than October 1, 2013, the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by (i) filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL, which Certificate of Merger shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (ii) making such other filings and taking such other actions as may be required by Law to make the Merger effective hereinafter. The Merger shall become effective at such date and time as the Certificate of Merger is accepted for filing by with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date and time as may be permitted or required by the DGCL and specified in the Certificate of Merger by mutual agreement of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, in the Certificate of Merger and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the assets, property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws. At the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the Parties, (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Merger Sub shall be amended so as to be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and (ii) the bylaws of the Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended or repealed in accordance with their terms, as provided, in the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and as provided by Law.

1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation.

2

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(iii) and any Dissenting Shares as defined in and to the extent provided in Section 1.16) shall be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive: (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Common Per Share Closing Amount, plus (B) the contingent right to receive, in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof, an amount equal to the Pro Rata Initial Order Cash Consideration (if any), plus (C) the contingent right to receive, in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof, an amount equal to the Pro Rata Performance Amount (if any), plus (D) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) any proceeds or distributions of the

3

(iv) each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and all of such shares, as converted, shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation; and

(v) each share certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation; and

(vi) each share of Company Stock converted pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 1.6(b) shall automatically cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and each holder of a certificate representing any such share of Company Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive such holder’s respective portion of the Merger Consideration and all payments pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be made in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) The amount of the Performance Payment that may become payable shall be equal to the sum of (i) “Earn-Out Cash Consideration” calculated as follows: (A) the amount, if any, by which the Company Revenue for the twelve month period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2014 (the “Performance Period”) exceeds Seventy Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) multiplied by (B) the Applicable Percentage, provided, however, that in no event shall the Earn-Out Cash Consideration be greater than Sixty Five Million Dollars ($65,000,000), plus (ii) “Bonus Earn-Out Cash Consideration” in the amount of an additional Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), only if Company Revenue during the Performance Period exceeds Two Hundred Million ($200,000,000) (any amount of Bonus Earn-Out Cash Consideration and Earn-Out Cash Consideration, together, the “Performance Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Performance Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate Earn-Out Bonus Amount (as defined in the Retention Plan) payable to all Participants pursuant to the Retention Plan.

5

(c) Definitions:

(i) The “Applicable Percentage” shall be equal to (A) 0% if the Company Gross Margin for the Performance Period is less than or equal to 31.0%, (B) 100% if the Company Gross Margin for the Performance Period is greater than or equal to 36.0%, and (C) for all values of the Company Gross Margin for the Performance Period greater than 31.0% and less than 36.0%, the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the difference between the Company Gross Margin for the Performance Period and 31.0% by (2) 5%.

(ii) “Company Gross Margin” shall mean Company Revenue less cost of goods sold (defined as materials, warranty expense, test, installation and direct manufacturing costs (excluding non-direct allocated charges)). For the avoidance of doubt, cost of goods sold for purposes of determining Company Gross Margin shall include the allocation of Parent-supplied resources working directly with the divisional management.

(iii) “Company Revenue” shall mean revenue calculated in accordance with Parent’s revenue recognition policy (as reported in Parent’s 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2012), plus any deferred revenue as of December 31, 2014 for shipments that were made and invoiced in calendar year 2014 in accordance with the terms of the purchase orders evidencing such shipments.

(d) Beginning with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2014 through the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2014, within thirty (30) days following the end of each quarter Parent shall provide to the Stockholders’ Representative quarterly written reports indicating the Company Gross Margin and the Company Revenue for such quarter (the “Quarterly Reports”). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Quarterly Report, if the Stockholders’ Representative requests a meeting with representatives of Parent to discuss such report, Parent shall make available for such a meeting those of its executive officers who are responsible for the applicable activities set forth in such Quarterly Report. On or before February 15, 2015, the Parent shall cause to be prepared a statement (the “Performance Statement”) that shall set forth the amount of the Performance Payment, if any, and the calculation thereof, including the Company Gross Margin and the Company Revenue, in each case for the Performance Period, and shall deliver such Performance Statement to the Stockholders’ Representative.

(e) If the Stockholders’ Representative disputes any amount set forth in the Performance Statement, the Stockholders’ Representative will notify Parent in writing of any disagreement the Stockholders’ Representative has with the Performance Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Performance Statement. Any such notification shall specify in reasonable detail those items, components, amounts or calculations as to which the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative does not notify Parent of such disagreement during such thirty (30) day period or if Parent receives a written notice from the Stockholders’ Representative irrevocably accepting the calculation of the Performance Payment set forth in the Performance Statement, the Performance Statement shall be deemed accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative and shall be final and binding on all Parties and the Participating Holders shall have no further rights to disagree therewith, and within five (5) business days after such acceptance, subject to the payment provisions in Section 1.9 in the case of payments to holders of Company Options, Parent shall deposit by wire transfer in immediately available funds, pursuant to an Allocation Certificate received by Parent with respect to such payment: (i) with the Payments Administrator an amount of cash equal to the portion of the Performance Payment payable to Participating Holders for whom the payment of the Performance Payment is not subject to wage or payroll tax withholding; and (ii) with the Surviving Corporation’s (or other Affiliate’s) payroll agent an amount of cash equal to the portion of the Performance Payment

6

payable to the Participants and to Participating Holders for whom the payment of the Performance Payment is subject to wage or payroll tax withholding.

(f) In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative shall notify Parent of any disagreement the Stockholders’ Representative has with the Performance Statement pursuant to Section 1.8(e), then within a further period of ten (10) days from the date Parent receives such dispute notice from the Stockholders’ Representative, the Parties will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items and such resolution and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final and binding on the Parties. In the event that Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be unable to agree upon a joint determination of the Performance Statement within ten (10) days from the date Parent receives such dispute notice from the Stockholders’ Representative, then within five (5) days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall submit the dispute to the Accounting Firm. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall request that the Accounting Firm render its determination prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after the dispute is submitted to it, and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final and binding on all the Parties hereto. The Accounting Firm shall be acting as an arbitrator and not as an auditor and shall decide only those issues as to which the Parties are not in agreement. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Parent and/or the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Participating Holders), respectively, based upon the percentage which the portion of the total amount contested and not awarded to such party bears to the total amount contested, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

(g) Parent shall maintain a system of accounting records which allows Parent to calculate Company Gross Margin and Company Revenue and notwithstanding any integration of the Company’s operations with and into Parent, its current and/or future Affiliates and their respective operations or any reorganization or other transaction or series of transactions effected by Parent after the Closing. Nothing in this Agreement creates a fiduciary duty on the part of Parent or any of Parent’s Affiliates to any Stockholder in respect of the Performance Payment.

(h) From the Closing Date until December 31, 2014, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates (i) not to remove Key Employees from the Surviving Corporation (except in the case of a termination for Cause), (ii) not to impose allocated corporate spend (provided however, this shall not prohibit charges for the actual expenses of Parent-supplied resources working directly with the divisional management) and (iii) operate the Surviving Corporation in a commercially reasonable manner and shall not take any action to intentionally reduce or hinder the achievement of any Initial Order Cash Consideration or Performance Payment.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that on or prior to December 31, 2014, (i) a Change of Control of Parent or the Surviving Corporation occurs; (ii) Parent or the Surviving Corporation commences any proceeding in bankruptcy or for dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, or other relief under state or federal bankruptcy laws (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”); (iii) a Bankruptcy Proceeding is commenced against Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Parent or the Surviving Corporation or a substantial part of their respective property, and such proceeding or appointment is not dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days after its commencement; (iv) Parent or the Surviving Corporation is unable to, or admits in writing its inability to, pay its debts when they become due; (v) Parent or the Surviving Corporation makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for it or a substantial portion of its assets or has a receiver, custodian or trustee appointed for all or a substantial portion of its assets, or (vi) Parent or the Surviving Corporation takes any action effectuating, approving or consenting to any of the foregoing, then in each case, 100% of the unpaid Initial Order Cash Consideration and Performance Payments shall become due and payable

7

immediately upon the occurrence of any such event, to the extent not previously paid. “Change of Control” shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of Parent or the Surviving Corporation into or with any Person in a transaction or series of related transactions that results in more than 50% of the voting securities of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the surviving, resulting or parent entity in such transaction or series of related transactions that are outstanding immediately after the consummation thereof being beneficially owned by Persons other than those Persons that (individually or collectively) beneficially owned such voting securities of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation thereof; or (ii) a sale or other disposition of a material amount of the assets or voting securities of Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

1.9 Stock Options and Restricted Shares.

(a) The Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that at the Effective Time each Company Option that has vested prior to Closing or that will vest in connection with Closing and that is outstanding, unexercised and unexpired immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive: (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Common Per Share Closing Amount, minus the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option, plus (B) the contingent right to receive, in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof, an amount equal to the Pro Rata Initial Order Cash Consideration (if any), plus (C) the contingent right to receive, in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof, an amount equal to the Pro Rata Performance Amount (if any) plus (D) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) any proceeds or distributions of the Escrow Amount (if, when and to the extent distributed to the Participating Holders pursuant to the terms herein), plus (E) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) the Post-Closing Adjustment (if, when and to the extent distributed to the Participating Holders pursuant to the terms herein), plus (F) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Capped Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) the amount of the Overflow Funds; provided, that, if the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option is equal to or greater than the maximum amount that could be paid pursuant to (A), (B), (C) and (D) above with respect to such Company Option, such Company Option shall be canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof and without any right to receive any payment pursuant to clauses (B), (C) or (D) above. All payments made pursuant to clauses (B), (C), (D), (E) or (F) above will be made in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(b) At the Effective Time, all restrictions with respect to Company Common Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Restricted Shares”) shall lapse and the Restricted Shares shall be fully vested automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, and the holder thereof shall be treated as a holder of Company Common Stock for purposes of this Agreement, including Section 1.6.

(c) At the Effective Time, all Company Options and Restricted Shares, whether or not vested or exercisable, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Option and Restricted Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration specified in this Section 1.9.

Any notices, consents or other communications to holders of Company Options and Restricted Shares will be subject to the review and approval of Parent. Any amount paid pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall be subject to any applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment, and any such

8

payments to employees or former employees of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries that constitute “wages” or other compensation for services for which any Tax withholding is required shall be processed through the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s payroll processing service or system.

1.10 Warrants. The Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that at the Effective Time each Series A Warrant that is outstanding, unexercised and unexpired immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be accelerated in full, cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Series A Per Share Closing Amount, minus the exercise price per share attributable to such Series A Warrant, plus (B) the contingent right to receive, in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof, an amount equal to the Pro Rata Initial Order Cash Consideration (if any), plus (C) the contingent right to receive, in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof, an amount equal to the Pro Rata Performance Amount (if any), plus (D) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) any proceeds or distributions of the Escrow Amount (if, when and to the extent distributed to the Participating Holders pursuant to the terms herein), plus (E) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Pro Rata Share multiplied by (y) the Post-Closing Adjustment (if, when and to the extent distributed to the Participating Holders pursuant to the terms herein); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon allocation of Merger Consideration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as applicable, initially allocable to each share of Series A Preferred Stock for which such Series A Warrant shall be deemed to be exercised, whether or not actually distributed to the Participating Holders) in the aggregate equal to $21.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock for which such Series A Warrant shall be deemed to be exercised, no holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may receive any further distributions in respect of such shares (the “Warrant Overflow Funds”); provided, further, that any Warrant Overflow Funds resulting from the application of the immediately preceding proviso shall be distributed in accordance with Section 1.6(b)(ii) above. Any amount paid pursuant to this Section 1.10 in respect of Series A Warrants shall be subject to any applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

1.11 Escrow.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Stockholders’ Representative, the Parent and Branch Banking and Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”) shall enter into an escrow agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Escrow Agreement”).

(b) Parent shall withhold Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) (the “Initial Escrow Amount”) from the Merger Consideration to be paid at Closing and deposit such amount into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Parent shall withhold an amount up to ten percent (10%) of any Initial Order Cash Consideration or Performance Payment that may become payable (the “Additional Escrowed Funds”) and deposit such amounts in to escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement such that, when added to the Initial Escrow Amount, such amounts bring the total funds deposited into escrow to a total of Nine Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($9,250,000) (the “Escrow Amount”).

(d) The Escrow Amount shall be deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow until receipt by the Escrow Agent of joint written instructions from the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (directing the Escrow Agent to release funds either to Parent or to the Payments Administrator for further distribution to the Participating Holders) or as otherwise provided in the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to and subject to the

9

terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

(e) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Parent shall be treated for income Tax purposes as the beneficial owner of the Escrow Amount and all earnings thereon until such time as any such funds are distributed pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) until distributed, such funds shall secure the payment of (a) the purchase price adjustments, if any, pursuant to Section 1.12 and (b) the indemnity obligations of the Participating Holders pursuant to ARTICLE IX.

1.12 Adjustments to Merger Consideration.

(a) At least three (3) business days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent: (i) the Estimated Balance Sheet; and (ii) the Statement of Estimated Closing Liabilities.

(b) No later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent (with a copy to the Stockholders’ Representative) the following information as of immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) the names, addresses of each holder (each a “Holder”) of Company Stock, Company Options or Series A Warrants, (ii) the type and number of shares of Company Stock held by each such Holder, (iii) the number of Company Options held by each such Holder, (iv) the number of Company Stock subject to each Series A Warrant held by each such Holder and (v) such other information Parent may reasonably request. No later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing, Parent and the Company shall agree upon a flow of funds memorandum (and provide a copy thereof to the Stockholders’ Representative) which shall set forth all payments required to be made by or on behalf of all Parties at the Closing (which shall include, without limitation, provision for the payment of any Indebtedness and any Non-Ordinary Course Liabilities), including for each such payment an identification of the payor, the payee, the amount and the wire transfer information.

1.13 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall furnish the Stockholders’ Representative with the Final Balance Sheet and the Statement of Closing Liabilities.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have a period of twenty (20) days after receipt of the Final Balance Sheet to notify Parent of its election to review, at the expense of the Participating Holders, the computations set forth in the Final Balance Sheet and the Statement of Closing Liabilities. Prior to the end of such twenty (20) day period, the Stockholders’ Representative shall notify Parent in writing of any disagreement the Stockholders’ Representative has with the Final Balance Sheet or the Statement of Closing Liabilities (a “Notice”). Any such Notice shall specify in reasonable detail those items, components, amounts or calculations as to which the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees, the Stockholders’ Representative’s alternative items, components, amounts or calculations and the basis therefor, and attach any relevant supporting documentation. In the event a Notice is not provided to Parent by the Stockholders’ Representative during such twenty (20) day period, the Final Balance Sheet and the Statement of Closing Liabilities, and the Post-Closing Adjustment resulting therefrom, shall be deemed accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative and final and binding on the Parties hereto and the Participating Holders shall have no further right to disagree therewith. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative shall provide a timely and valid Notice to Parent during such twenty (20) day period, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days following the date upon which the Stockholders’ Representative delivers such Notice), attempt to make a joint determination of the Post-Closing Adjustments and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto.

10

(c) In the event the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall be unable to agree upon a joint determination of the Post-Closing Adjustments within thirty (30) days after delivery by the Stockholders’ Representative of the Notice (or any mutually agreed upon extension of such period), then Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly submit the dispute to the Accounting Firm to make a final and binding determination of only those items, components, amounts or calculations of Merger Consideration, Final Net Working Capital and Final Closing Liabilities as to which the Stockholders’ Representative has disagreed in the Notice validly and timely delivered and continues to disagree. The Accounting Firm shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Parent on the Final Balance Sheet or the Stockholders’ Representative on the Notice, or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Parent on the Final Balance Sheet or the Stockholders’ Representative on the Notice. The Accounting Firm shall be acting as an arbitrator and not as an auditor and shall decide only those issues as to which the Parties are not in agreement. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall request that the Accounting Firm render its determination prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after the dispute is submitted and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final and binding on all the Parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Parent and/or the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Participating Holders), respectively, based upon the percentage which the portion of the total amount contested and not awarded to such party bears to the total amount contested, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

(d) If the Final Net Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.13 is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then Parent shall have the right to offset the amount thereof against any portion of the Merger Consideration owed to the Participating Holders (as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration), including, without limitation, the Escrow Amount, and any interest accrued thereon. If the Final Net Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.13 is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, within five (5) business days after such determination, subject to the payment provisions in Section 1.9 in the case of payments to holders of Company Options, Parent shall deposit by wire transfer in immediately available funds, pursuant to an Allocation Certificate received by Parent with respect to such payment: (i) with the Payments Administrator an amount of cash equal to the portion of the amount thereof payable to Participating Holders for whom the payment of such amount is not subject to wage or payroll tax withholding; and (ii) with the Surviving Corporation’s (or other Affiliate’s) payroll agent an amount of cash equal to the portion of the amount thereof payable to the Participating Holders for whom such payment is subject to wage or payroll tax withholding.

(e) If the Indebtedness and/or the Non-Ordinary Course Liabilities determined pursuant to this Section 1.13 exceed the Indebtedness and/or the Non-Ordinary Course Liabilities, respectively, set forth on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, then Parent shall have the right to offset the amount thereof against any portion of the Merger Consideration owed to the Participating Holders (as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration), including, without limitation, the Escrow Amount, and any interest accrued thereon. If the Indebtedness and/or the Non-Ordinary Course Liabilities determined pursuant to this Section 1.13 are less than the Indebtedness and/or the Non-Ordinary Course Liabilities, respectively, set forth on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, within five (5) business days after such determination, subject to the payment provisions in Section 1.9 in the case of payments to holders of Company Options, Parent shall deposit by wire transfer in immediately available funds, pursuant to an Allocation Certificate received by Parent with respect to such payment: (i) with the Payments Administrator an amount of cash equal to the portion of the amount of such surplus payable to Participating Holders for whom the payment of such amount is not subject to wage or payroll tax withholding; and (ii) with the Surviving Corporation’s (or other Affiliate’s) payroll agent an amount of cash equal to the portion of such surplus payable to the Participating Holders for whom such payment is subject to wage or payroll tax withholding.

11

(f) Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall effect the net result of the adjustments described in Sections 1.13(d) and (e), which shall be referred to collectively as the “Post-Closing Adjustment.”

1.14 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Procedures. If (i) at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date Parent has received the following from any Participating Holder: (x) a photocopy or facsimile of each certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock to be exchanged pursuant to Section 1.6 (the “Certificates”) held by such Participating Holder, if any, (y) a photocopy or facsimile of a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Letter of Transmittal”), duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and (z) a photocopy or facsimile of such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, and (ii) in connection with the Closing, Parent receives an original Certificate or Certificates held by such Participating Holder, if any, a duly executed Letter of Transmittal, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, then on the Closing Date in accordance with such Letter of Transmittal, Parent shall deliver: (x) to any such Participating Holder for whom the payment of Merger Consideration is not subject to wage or payroll tax withholding in exchange therefor the applicable the Merger Consideration payable at Closing in accordance with the terms hereof; and (y) to the Surviving Corporation’s (or other Affiliate’s) payroll agent an amount of cash equal to the portion of applicable Merger Consideration payable at the Closing to the Participating Holders for whom such payment is subject to wage or payroll tax withholding, and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If Parent has received such materials from any such Participating Holder later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, then Parent shall deliver to such Participating Holder in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration no later than three (3) business days after such receipt or three (3) business days after the date on which such Merger Consideration is otherwise due hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, whichever is later. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration. Until so surrendered, each Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate. Any Participating Holder who has not complied with this Agreement shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as a general creditor thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Stock, without any interest thereon. Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative and the Payments Administrator upon reasonable request with (i) a list (updated prior to each post-closing payment) of all Participating Holders that have properly presented all of the above-required transmittal information and documents and are eligible to receive Merger Consideration and (ii) copies of all such transmittal documents (including payment information) and tax documents in Parent’s possession.

(b) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to a holder of a Certificate for any applicable Merger Consideration or any other amount due that was properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(c) Withholding of Tax. Parent, the Company, the Payments Administrator and the Escrow Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Participating Holder such amounts as are reasonably determined by Parent, the Company or the Payments Administrator to be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such

12

withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Participating Holder in respect of whom such deduction, withholding and remittance were made. Parent and the Escrow Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any required backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code by requesting Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable from the Participating Holders, and shall provide copies of such documents to the Payments Administrator upon reasonable request.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the applicable Merger Consideration; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to indemnify and hold harmless Parent from and against any losses in connection therewith (but, for the avoidance of doubt, may not require a bond).

1.15 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The applicable portion of Merger Consideration issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Stock. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration or transfers of shares of Company Stock on the records of the Surviving Corporation.

1.16 Dissenting Shares. Any holder of shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which dissenters’ rights, if any, are available by reason of the Merger pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who complies with the applicable provisions of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article I, unless such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses its dissenters’ rights under the DGCL. Such holder shall be entitled to receive only such rights as are granted under the applicable provisions of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights under the DGCL, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration to which such shares of Company Stock are entitled pursuant to this Article I, without interest. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for appraisal pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL received by the Company, withdrawals of any such demands and any other documents or instruments received by the Company in connection therewith. Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Any payments made with respect to Dissenting Shares shall be made solely by the Surviving Corporation, and no funds or other property have been or shall be provided by Parent, Merger Sub or any of Parent’s Affiliates for such payment.

1.17 Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (i) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of either the Company or Merger Sub, or (ii) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and its proper officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, all such other acts and things necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm its

13

rights, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of the Company or Merger Sub, as applicable, and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II
CLOSING

2.1 Time and Place of the Closing. The Closing shall take place by remote exchange of documents, unless another method or place is agreed to in writing by the Parties, as soon as practicable following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles VII and VIII hereof and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter (but no earlier than October 1, 2013), or on such other date as Parent, Merger Sub and the Company may mutually determine.

2.2 Deliveries. At the time of the Closing, (i) the Company will deliver to Parent the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 6.11 below, and (ii) Parent and the Merger Sub will deliver to the Company the certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.4 below.

2.3 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) Each Participating Holder, by virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Participating Holders (regardless of whether or not all Participating Holders vote in favor of or consent to the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, and regardless of whether at a meeting or in an action by written consent in lieu thereof), designates Shareholder Representative Services LLC (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) as his, her or its representative for purposes of this Agreement. The Participating Holders and their respective successors shall be deemed to have approved, and shall be bound by, any and all actions taken by the Stockholders’ Representative on their behalf under or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder as if such actions were expressly ratified and confirmed by each of them in writing. In the event any Stockholders’ Representative is unable or unwilling to serve or shall resign, a successor Stockholders’ Representative shall be selected by the holders of a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing. A Stockholders’ Representative may not resign, except upon 30 days prior written notice to Parent and Merger Sub. In the event of a notice of proposed resignation, or any death, disability or other replacement of a Stockholders’ Representative, a successor shall be appointed effective immediately thereafter (and, in the case of a death of a Stockholders’ Representative, the successor shall be deemed to be the executor or other representative of such Stockholders’ Representative’s estate) and Parent and Merger Sub shall be notified promptly of such appointment by the successor Stockholders’ Representative. No replacement of any Stockholders’ Representative shall be effective against Parent or Merger Sub until (i) the proposed successor Stockholders’ Representative assumes in writing all obligations of the original Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement and (ii) Parent and Merger Sub have consented to the proposed successor Stockholders’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each successor Stockholders’ Representative shall have all the power, rights, authority and privileges hereby conferred upon the original Stockholders’ Representative.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely upon any actions, communication or writings taken, given or executed by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Participating Holders. After the Closing, all communications or writings to be sent to the Participating Holders pursuant to this Agreement may be addressed to the Stockholders’ Representative and any communication or writing so sent shall be deemed notice to all of the Stockholders hereunder. The

14

adoption and approval of this Agreement by the holders of the Company Stock shall constitute the consent and agreement of each of the Stockholders that the Stockholders’ Representative is authorized to accept deliveries, including any notice, on behalf of each holder of Company Stock pursuant hereto.

(c) The Stockholders’ Representative is hereby appointed and constituted the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Participating Holder, with full power of substitution in such holder’s name and on such holder’s behalf to act according to the terms of this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby in the absolute discretion of the Stockholders’ Representative; and in general to do all things and to perform all acts including, without limitation, executing and delivering all agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions, notices and other instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable in connection with this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby, including without limitation Article IX hereof. This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred is granted in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements made herein, and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Participating Holder or operation of law, whether by such holder’s death or disability or by any other event.

(d) The Stockholders’ Representative hereby agrees to serve as the Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with the applicable terms hereof and to be bound by such terms.

(e) The Stockholders’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the Stockholders’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and that certain Acquiom M&A Payments Agreement (the “Acquiom Payments Agreement”) to be entered into at or prior to Closing by and among Acquiom Administration LLC (the “Payments Administrator”), the Stockholders’ Representative and the Company, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholders’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Participating Holders will severally (based on each Participating Holder’s Pro Rata Proportion but not jointly indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholders’ Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholders’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Acquiom Payments Agreement, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative will reimburse the Participating Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholders’ Representative by the Participating Holders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Representative (i) first, from the funds in the Expense Fund, (ii) second, solely to the extent the remaining funds available to the Stockholders’ Representative in the Expense Fund are insufficient, from either (A) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Participating Holders or (B) any future contingent consideration at such time as any such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Participating Holders, and (iii) third, solely to the extent the remaining funds in the Expense Fund are insufficient and there are insufficient funds immediately available to the Stockholders’ Representative from the Escrow Fund and/or contingent consideration, from the Participating Holders directly; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholders’ Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund, the Escrow Fund and any other future contingent consideration, this does not (i) require the Stockholders’ Representative to wait for future releases of funds from the Escrow Fund or future payments of contingent consideration before recovering directly from the Participating Holders, (ii) relieve the Participating Holders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, or (iii) prevent the

15

Stockholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Participating Holders or otherwise. The Participating Holders acknowledge and agree that the limitations set forth in Section 9.5 are not applicable to the indemnification provided in this Section 2.3(e), and that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Upon the Closing, the Company will wire to the Stockholders’ Representative an aggregate amount of US$250,000 (the “Expense Fund”). The Participating Holders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. Within five (5) business days after the completion of the Stockholders’ Representative’s responsibilities under this Agreement subject to the payment provisions in Section 1.9 in the case of payments to holders of Company Options, the Stockholders’ Representative shall deposit by wire transfer in immediately available funds, pursuant to an Allocation Certificate: (i) with the Payments Administrator an amount of cash equal to the portion of the then balance of the Expense Fund payable to Participating Holders for whom the payment of the balance of the Expense Fund is not subject to wage or payroll tax withholding; and (ii) with the Surviving Corporation’s (or other Affiliate’s (at the direction of Parent)) payroll agent an amount of cash equal to the portion of the then remaining balance of the Expense Fund payable to Participating Holders for whom the payment of the balance of the Expense Fund is subject to wage or payroll tax withholding. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Participating Holders at the time of Closing and shall be subject to wage withholding as if paid to such Participating Holders on the Closing Date to the extent wage withholding is required by law; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor the Payments Administrator shall be responsible for any wage withholding or related calculations or determinations.

All Tax Returns filed by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are true, correct and complete in all material respects and, to the knowledge of the Company, there are no other inaccuracies that would be reasonably expected to have a material negative effect on either future Tax obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Tax compliance by the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever participated in a “Tax amnesty” or similar program offered by any Taxing Authority to avoid the assessment of any Tax.

(b) All Taxes required to have been paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid on a timely basis. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Liability for Taxes not yet required to have been paid, other than Liabilities for Taxes reflected on the Balance Sheet or incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date. There are no Encumbrances on any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) timely to pay any Tax.

(c) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has complied in all respects with all applicable Laws relating to withholding and collection of Taxes and information reporting with respect to such Taxes, and has, within the time and manner prescribed by Law, withheld or collected from employee wages and other payments and paid over to the proper Taxing Authority all such withheld or collected amounts required to have been paid. To the knowledge of the Company, the records of the Company and its Subsidiaries contain all information and documents reasonably expected to be necessary to comply in all material respects with applicable Tax information reporting and Tax withholding requirements under applicable Laws and such records reasonably required to identify with specificity all accounts subject to backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has

25

complied in all material respects with all sales Tax resale certificate exemption requirements for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has either claimed such an exemption or not collected sales Tax from another Person in reliance on a purchase for resale exemption.

(d) No written claim has ever been received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from a Taxing Authority for a jurisdiction where neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries files Tax Returns that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction or has an obligation to file Tax Returns, in each case with respect to any Tax of a type for which such entity did not file a Tax Return with, or pay Tax imposed by, such jurisdiction of such type for the most recently ended taxable period for which such a Tax payment or Tax Return was due. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has conducted activities in any jurisdiction which will require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay Tax or file any Tax Return in such jurisdiction of a type that was not required to have been paid or filed by it in the most recently ended previous taxable period for which such type of Tax or Tax Return would be due (as reflected in Schedule 3.10(e)).

(e) Schedule 3.10(e) identifies all types of Tax Returns relating to income, franchise, property, sales and use and value added Tax (by type of Tax and jurisdiction) that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has filed and the taxable period covered by each such Tax Return, and identifies those Tax Returns or periods that have been audited or are currently the subject of an audit by a Taxing Authority, and all such income Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to which the statute of limitations for assessments against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of additional Tax for the taxable period covered thereby has not yet expired. The Company and its Subsidiaries have provided or made available to Parent complete and accurate copies of all of the following materials: (i) all income Tax Returns and other material tax Returns filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) all examination reports relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iii) all statements of Taxes assessed against or agreed to by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that were not shown on Tax Returns filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before such assessment or agreement and all related correspondence; (iv) all written rulings from, and written agreements with, any Taxing Authority relating to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (v) all elections relating to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which would have continuing effect in the determination of Tax or preparation of any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any taxable period for which a Tax Return has not yet been filed or Tax paid (other than elections that are included in or apparent from Tax Returns referred to in clause (i) above); (vi) any request for issuance of any ruling from a Tax Authority on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary since formation (regardless of whether the requested ruling was issued) and (vii) to the extent reasonably requested in writing by Parent, any other document relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than documents that the Company has advised Parent in writing that it is unable to provide or for which less than three (3) business days have elapsed since the date of such request).

(f) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has a “permanent establishment” in any country other than the country under the Laws of which it is organized (as such term is defined in any applicable Tax treaty or convention between the relevant country of organization and such other country) and has not otherwise engaged in activity that is reasonably likely to have exposed it to the taxing jurisdiction of any such other country with respect to a material Tax Liability. The Company and each Subsidiary is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of any existing Tax exemptions granted by, Tax agreements with or Tax orders of any Taxing Authority to which it may be subject, and, to the knowledge of the Company, the consummation of the Merger is not expected to be inconsistent with continued compliance with the terms and conditions of any such exemptions, agreements or orders.

(g) Any and all transactions between or among the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the one hand and any other controlled Persons (within the meaning of Section 482 of the

26

Code) have at all times occurred on arm’s-length terms, as if between and among unrelated parties. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has properly and in a timely manner documented in all material respects its transfer pricing methodology in compliance with Section 6662(e) (and any related sections) of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and any comparable provisions of U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. Tax law.

(h) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any Person on behalf of the Company or any its Subsidiaries has waived any statute of limitations or agreed to any extension of time that has continuing effect with respect to assessment or collection of any Tax for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be held liable. There is not currently in effect any power of attorney authorizing any Person to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or receive information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, with respect to any Tax matter (other than authorizations to contact Tax Return preparers included in Tax Returns previously filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). There is no audit or other Proceeding presently pending or threatened in writing (or to the Company’s knowledge, otherwise) with regard to any Tax Liability or Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the knowledge of the Company, there are no existing circumstances that reasonably may be expected to result in the assertion of a material claim for unsatisfied Tax obligations against the Company or its Subsidiaries by any Taxing Authority with respect to any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date for which Tax Returns are required to have been filed or Tax is required to have been paid or withheld or collected by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(i) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.10(i), and except for payments of benefits that are payable to an individual that has signed a 280G Waiver, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has or have made or become obligated to make, or will as a result of any event connected directly or indirectly with any transaction contemplated herein become obligated to make, any “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code (without regard to Subsection (b)(4) thereof) and no amount that could be received (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property), as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or any other event, by any employee, officer, director, stockholder or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Company Plan or otherwise would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code or would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. There is no written or unwritten agreement, plan, arrangement or other contract by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound to compensate or provide a Tax gross-up payment for any individual for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. Schedule 3.10(i) identifies each “disqualified individual” as defined in Section 280G of the Code (each a “Potential Parachute Recipient”) to whom the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has made any payments or provided any benefit, or who is a party to an agreement that could obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any payment or provide any benefit, that alone or together could constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has made or agreed to make, has requested permission to make, or is required to make, any change in method of accounting previously used by it in any Tax Return filed by it which change in method would require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make an adjustment to its income pursuant to Section 481(a) of the Code (or any similar provision) on any Tax Return for any taxable period ending on or after the Closing Date for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has not yet filed a Tax Return; nor has the Company or any of its Subsidiaries received any written notice (or to the knowledge of the Company, any other notice) that a Taxing Authority proposes to require a change in method of accounting used in any Tax Return which has been filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

27

(k) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action not in accordance with past practice that would have the effect of deferring a material measure of Tax from a period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date to a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has material deferred income or Tax Liability arising out of any transaction, except to the extent adequately reserved for on its Balance Sheet, including without limitation, (i) the disposition of any property in a transaction accounted for under the installment method pursuant to Section 453 of the Code, (ii) the use of the long-term contract method of accounting or (iii) the receipt of any prepaid amount on or before the Closing Date (other than receipts after the Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practice as reflected by reserves on the Balance Sheet for Taxes related to prepayments of a similar type).

(l) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code at any time during the preceding five (5) years.

(m) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any safe harbor lease within the meaning of Section 168(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as in effect before amendment by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982.

None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement under which it is treated as a lessor or lessee of “limited use property” within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 2001-28. None of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries constitutes indebtedness with respect to which any interest deductions may be disallowed under Sections 163(i), 163(j), 163(l) or 279 of the Code or under any other applicable Laws.

(n) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been either a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code in a distribution qualifying (or intended to qualify) under Section 355 of the Code (or so much of Section 356 as relates to Section 355).

(p) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.10 to the contrary, no representation is being made by the Company with respect to the amount of or the availability to use any net operating losses, any Tax credit carryovers (including any VAT credits), any income Tax basis or other Tax attributes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than representations being made as to the knowledge of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is being made as to whether any net operating losses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are subject to limitation under Sections 269, 382, 383, 384 or 1502 of the Code, or comparable provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law.

(s) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever been a party to any Tax allocation, Tax sharing, indemnity or similar agreement or arrangement, other than any such agreements or arrangements to which only the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are parties, under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be held liable to another Person in respect of Taxes payable by such Person (including any agreement by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has agreed to allocate Tax liabilities computed on a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar basis among entities, or agreed to indemnify any other Person against Tax Liabilities).

Each Parent Prepared Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law or consented to by the Stockholders’ Representative (which consent may not be unreasonably delayed or withheld).

(ii) If the Tax shown as due on any Parent Prepared Return would be subject to indemnification by the Participating Holders pursuant to Section 9.1, Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a copy of such Parent Prepared Return for review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return (or, if required to be filed within thirty (30) days after the Closing or the end of the taxable period to which such return relates, as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing or the end of such taxable period, as the case may be), accompanied (if relevant) by a statement setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes that are shown as due on such Tax Return and claimed to be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.1. Parent shall cause such Tax

43

Return to be revised as reasonably requested in writing by the Stockholders’ Representative at least five (5) days prior to the required filing date of such Tax Return. For purposes of the foregoing, a revision to a Parent Prepared Return shall not be considered to have been reasonably requested if (w) there is not substantial authority for the requested change in reporting within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code, (x) a reserve for Tax liability would be required to be established in the financial statements of Parent or the Company for potential Tax liability that is not shown as due on such Tax Return or (y) Parent reasonably determines that the position is not more likely than not to be sustained and either the Damages that foreseeably could result from the failure to sustain the requested Tax reporting position would not be indemnifiable to Parent under this Agreement or there is not adequate security for the potential indemnification obligations of the Participating Holders under Section 9.1 for such Damages.

(iii) Parent shall, subject to any indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1, pay or cause to be paid the Tax shown as due on each Parent Prepared Return.

(b) Allocation of Taxes. The Stockholders, Parent and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, cause the taxable period of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to end as of the close of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, Taxes incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, shall be allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date as follows: (i) except as provided in (ii) and (iii) below, to the extent feasible, on a specific identification basis, according to the date of the event or transaction giving rise to the Tax, (ii) except as provided in (iii) below, with respect to periodically assessed ad valorem Taxes and Taxes not otherwise feasibly allocable to specific transactions or events, in proportion to the number of days in such period occurring through and including the Closing Date compared to the total number of days in such taxable period, and (iii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, in an amount equal to the Tax which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. It is acknowledged for avoidance of doubt that the Participating Holders shall have no indemnity obligation under Section 9.1(a) with respect to any Specified Taxes without regard to whether such Taxes would be allocable to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date under the above principles. Any Tax credits relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

(c) Tax Proceedings. Any Party who receives any notice of a pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or adjustment against or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries that may give rise to Liability of another Party hereto or the Participating Holders (including pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement), shall promptly notify such other Party within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such notice. The Parties each agree to consult with and to keep the other Parties hereto informed on a regular basis regarding the status of any Tax Proceeding to the extent that such Proceeding could affect a Liability which could reasonably be a basis for a claim pursuant to the indemnity obligations hereunder. Parent will have the right to control the conduct of and the resolution of any Proceeding which could reasonably be a basis for a claim pursuant to the indemnity obligations hereunder; provided, however, (i) the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of any such Proceeding and to employ counsel, at the expense of the Participating Holders, separate from the counsel employed by Parent, and (ii) Parent may not settle any such Proceeding in any manner which would adversely affect the Participating Holders without the written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) Cooperation, Access to Information, and Record Retention. The Stockholders, Parent and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate, and shall cause their representatives to cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party hereto in connection with the

44

preparation and filing of Tax Returns as provided herein, any Proceeding with respect to Taxes, and any determination regarding reflection of Tax liabilities of the Company or its Subsidiaries in financial statements of Parent. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, Proceeding relating to Taxes or any preparation of financial statements, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Stockholders, Parent and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including Tax Returns) relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations for assessment of Taxes for such respective taxable period and (ii) give the other Parties hereto reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if another Party so requests, allow the other Party to either copy or take possession of such books and records.

(e) Tax Certificates. The Parties further agree, upon request, to use reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Government Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed.

(f) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other Person (other than any such agreement created by the execution of this Agreement and any Excluded Tax Sharing Agreements) shall be terminated on or before the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(g) Transfer Taxes and Tax Indemnity.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, all Korea Transfer Taxes incurred by any Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by such Stockholder when due. Such Stockholder shall, at such Stockholder’s expense, prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. If required by applicable Law, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(ii) All Transfer Taxes (other than Korea Transfer Taxes) imposed on the Company or its Subsidiaries or Parent or its Affiliates in connection with consummation of the Merger shall be borne 50% by the Participating Holders (directly by indemnification, or by inclusion of such, as a Tax liability of the Company attributable to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, in Closing Liabilities), and 50% by Parent.

(iii) Parent shall indemnify each Participating Holder for any increase in Tax imposed on such Participating Holder by reason of the consummation of the Merger which increase is attributable to direct or indirect ownership of capital stock of the Merger Sub at the Effective Time by a person that is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

6.7 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any charge, complaint, action, suit, audit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, each of the other Parties will cooperate with such Party or its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending

45

Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article IX below).

6.8 Reasonable Efforts. During the Pre-Closing Period, each Party agrees to use all reasonable efforts promptly to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to (a) obtain all consents, approvals or actions of, make all filings with and give all notices to Government Authorities or any other Person required to consummate the Merger and the other matters contemplated hereby, (b) provide such other information and communications to such Government Authorities or other public or private Persons as the other Party or such Government Authorities or other public or private Persons may reasonably request in connection therewith, and (c) execute such further documents, deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and take such further actions as may reasonably be required to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including, without limitation, the satisfaction of all conditions hereto. If applicable, the Parties shall file all notices and other information and documents required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof.

6.9 Company Employees. The Company agrees that during the Pre-Closing Period it shall make all reasonable efforts to maintain good relations with its employees and will honor all previous agreements with employees to be performed prior to Closing. The Company agrees that promptly after the date hereof it shall allow Parent to make a presentation to the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ employees and to interview such employees for continued employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, after the Closing. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to cause such Company Employees to make available their employment services to the Surviving Corporation.

6.10 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Merger and such other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms set forth in this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate the effects of any Takeover Statute on the Merger and any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In addition, at the request of Parent no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing, the Company will terminate any one or more Welfare Plans, including any group health, dental, severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements, effective as of the date specified by Parent and, at the request of Parent, the Company will provide Parent with evidence that such Welfare Plans have been so terminated pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the board of directors of the Company or other duly-designated authority. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Plans as Parent may reasonably require. Prior to the Closing, each of the officers, directors, employees and Affiliates of the Company shall repay in full, in accordance with their terms, all debts and other obligations, if any, owed to the Company.

6.12 Company Stockholder Approval.

(a) Subject to Section 6.4(b), the Company, through its board of directors, shall unanimously recommend to the Stockholders that the Stockholders approve and adopt this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the “Recommendation”). As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, the Company shall submit this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, together with a consent solicitation statement describing the Company, the principal terms of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby in form and substance that complies in all respects with the DGCL, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws and which includes the Recommendation (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”) to all of the Stockholders for approval as provided by the DGCL and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Prior to the distribution of the Consent Solicitation Statement or Information Statement, as defined below (or in each case any amendment or supplement thereto), Parent and its counsel shall be provided copies of the Consent Solicitation Statement and Information Statement (and any such amendment or supplement) and shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.14.

all Damages suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any Indemnified Party, in each case in connection with, resulting from or arising out of, directly or indirectly: (i) the Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company set forth in this Agreement; (ii) the Breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any Closing Liability not accurately reflected on the Statement of Closing Liabilities; (iv) any and all Liabilities (other than for Specified Taxes) for (x) all Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries incurred in connection with or arising out of the activities or business of the Company or its Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date (determined, with respect to taxable periods that include but do not end on the Closing Date, in accordance with the allocation provisions of Section 6.6(b)) and all reasonable third party costs and reasonable third party expenses of filing Tax Returns that were required to have been filed, but have not been filed, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date, in excess of the amount of such Taxes, costs or expenses reflected as a liability in the computation of Final Net Working Capital, (y) all Taxes required to be paid by the Company or its Subsidiaries by reason of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or a predecessor of such entities) having been a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group at any time on or before the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. law, rule, or regulation in excess of the amount of such Taxes reflected as a liability in the computation of Final Net Working Capital and (z) all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) required to be paid by the Company or its Subsidiaries by reason of Contract, assumption, transferee liability, or operation of Law, if the liability of the Company or its Subsidiaries for such Taxes is attributable to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date (other than pursuant to Excluded Tax Sharing Agreements) in excess of the amount of such Taxes reflected as a liability in the computation of Final Net Working Capital; (vii) with respect to each Dissenting Share, any payments by Parent in respect of demands for appraisal of such Dissenting Shares in excess of the amounts that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement, (viii) any claim brought by a Stockholder or former stockholder of the Company, or any other Person, based upon (A) ownership or rights to ownership of any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company, (B) any rights of a stockholder (other than the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 or with respect to Dissenting Shares), including any option, preemptive rights or rights to notice or to vote, (C) any rights under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (D) any claim that his, her or its shares were wrongfully repurchased by the Company or issued out of compliance with applicable securities Laws, or (E) any claim relating to any Company Option or the exercise thereof; (ix) any alleged improper allocation of the Merger Consideration among the Participating Holders; provided, that, for any distributions of Merger Consideration by Parent, such distributions were made in accordance with terms of an Allocation Certificate delivered by the Stockholders’ Representative, (x) any action or inaction of the Payments Administrator, and (xi) enforcing the indemnification rights of the Indemnified Parties hereunder; and

(b) each Significant Stockholder, severally and not jointly, covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from and against all Damages suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any Indemnified Party, in each case in connection with, resulting from or arising out of, directly or indirectly: (i) the Breach of any representation or warranty made by such Significant Stockholder set forth in this Agreement; or (ii) the Breach on the part of such Significant Stockholder of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.

9.2 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) In the event that any Indemnified Party has a claim against any Person from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, which does not involve a claim being sought to be collected by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall provide written notice of such claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the Stockholders’ Representative (or the particular Indemnifying Party in the event that recovery is being sought directly from such Indemnifying Party).

53

The Claim Notice shall set forth the amount, if known, or, if not known, an estimate of the maximum amount of claimed Damages (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Damages) and a reasonable description of the basis for such claim. If the Stockholders’ Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if applicable) does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Claim Notice that Stockholders’ Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if applicable) disputes such claim, or its (or the Indemnifying Parties’) liability to the Indemnified Party for such claim, the amount of such claim as set forth in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Parties hereunder. In case an objection is made in writing by the Stockholders’ Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if applicable) in accordance with this Section 9.2(a) (an “Objection Notice”), the Indemnified Party shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to such Objection Notice.

(b) In case the Stockholders’ Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if applicable) delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 9.2(a) hereof, the Stockholders’ Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if applicable) and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party is given an Objection Notice, either the Stockholders’ Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if applicable) or the Parent may initiate litigation in accordance with this Agreement. In the event the Parent does not receive a timely Objection Notice, the claim(s) set forth in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed to be approved by the Stockholders’ Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if applicable) and the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Until the final resolution of any Claim Notice in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, an Indemnified Party, may from time to time, amend such Claim Notice to reflect additional Damages thereunder.

9.3 Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim, demand or Proceeding (whether against Parent or against any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, Parent shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense (including settlement or compromise) of such claim, demand or Proceeding on its own; provided, however, that Parent may not settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld). Parent shall give the Stockholders’ Representative prompt notice after it becomes aware of the commencement of any such claim or legal proceeding against Parent; provided, however, any failure on the part of Parent to so notify the Stockholders’ Representative shall not limit any of the obligations of the Participating Holders or the Stockholders’ Representative, or any of the rights of any Indemnified Party, under this Article IX (except to the extent such failure materially adversely prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). If Parent does not elect to proceed with the defense (including settlement or compromise) of any such claim, demand or Proceeding, the Stockholders’ Representative may proceed with the defense of such claim, demand or Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholders’ Representative may not settle or compromise any such claim, demand or Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnified Party (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

9.4 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement or in any agreement or other document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing and be enforceable until such covenant or agreement has been fully performed. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any agreement or other document

54

delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date and shall thereafter expire, except that any representation or warranty with respect to which a claim has been made for a Breach thereon prior to such date shall survive until such claim is resolved; provided, that, the foregoing limitations on survival shall not apply to (i) claims based on criminal matters, fraud or intentional misrepresentation (“Fraud Claims”), which shall survive without limitation (and in no event less than six years) or (ii) claims based on Breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in (x) Sections 3.2 (Authority), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.8 (Company Plans), 3.10 (Taxes) and 3.15 (Environmental and Safety Matters) (the “Fundamental Representations”), and claims based on Section 9.1(a)(iv) (Taxes), which shall survive the Closing until the date on which the underlying statute of limitations expires (or if there is no applicable statute of limitations relating thereto, such representation and warranty shall survive indefinitely) (collectively, the claims described in this clause (ii), the “Excluded Claims”). Any Indemnified Party may bring a claim hereunder for potential or contingent Damages notwithstanding the fact that the full amount of such potential or contingent Damages is not readily determinable.

9.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except with respect to Excluded Claims and subject to Section 9.5(d), the indemnification obligations of the Participating Holders for Damages for the matters specified in Section 9.1(a)(i) shall be limited to an amount equal to the Escrow Amount (the “General Cap”). Claims for Damages under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Sections 9.1(b) and 9.5(d)) shall be: (i) first against the Escrow Amount; and (ii) second, after such time as all Initial Escrow Amount deposited into the Escrow Amount have been exhausted, are subject to preexisting indemnification claims or have otherwise been distributed to the Participating Holders, and only prior to the deposit of the Additional Escrowed Funds, by set off against ten percent (10%) of any unpaid Initial Order Cash Consideration or unpaid Performance Payment. Parent shall seek payment for Damages indemnifiable pursuant to Sections 9.1(b) and 9.5(d) directly from the applicable Significant Stockholder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and subject to Section 9.5(d): (i) no Participating Holder shall be liable for an amount in excess of such Participant’s Pro Rata Proportion of the Damages in respect of such matter; and (ii) no Participating Holder shall have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement in excess of the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Participating Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Phantom Equity Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 9.5(d), Parent shall not be permitted to recover any Damages under this Article IX until such Damages exceed, in the aggregate, $500,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), provided, that, after the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds the Threshold Amount, only those Damages above the Threshold Amount shall be recoverable by Parent.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the limitations set forth in Section 9.5 shall not be applicable to claims against a Participating Holder based upon fraud committed by such Participating Holder, and the limitations set forth in Section 9.5(c) shall not be applicable to claims based on Section 9.1(a)(iv) (Taxes).

9.6 No Contribution. Each Stockholder waives, and acknowledges and agrees that he shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other similar right or remedy against the Company, Parent, the Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation, in connection with any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or obligation set forth in this Agreement or any claim for Damages under Section 9.1.

55

9.7 Right of Offset. In the event that any Participating Holder shall have an indemnification obligation for Damages to Parent or any other Indemnified Party, Parent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to offset the amount of the Damages against any portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to such Participating Holder (including without limitation the Escrow Amount and the unpaid Initial Order Cash Consideration and unpaid Performance Payment). Such remedy shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief or other rights or remedies to which the Parent or any other Indemnified Party is or may be entitled at law or equity or in any administrative or other proceeding or under this Agreement (including any exhibits hereto).

9.8 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions contained in this ARTICLE IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnified Party attributable to claims under, relating to or arising out of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the sole and exclusive source of satisfying obligations of the Participating Holders under this Agreement, other than Fraud Claims.

9.9 No Double Recovery. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Party shall be entitled to reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such Party has previously been reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement.

9.10 Third Party Recovery. The amount of Damages otherwise recoverable under this Article IX shall be limited to the amount of any Damage that remains after deducting therefrom (i) any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar cash payment recovered by the Indemnified Parties from any third party with respect thereto and (ii) any Tax benefits actually realized by Parent or any of its Affiliates in the taxable year that the Damage is incurred or in any of the following two (2) taxable years.

9.11 Waiver of Damages. Parent, on behalf of itself and the other Indemnified Parties, waives any claim to punitive, incidental, indirect, special, consequential or exemplary Damages (except to the extent payable in respect of third party claims).

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION

11.1 Termination.

(a) This Agreement may, by notice given on or prior to the Closing Date, in the manner hereinafter provided, be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(i) by mutual agreement of the Company and Parent;

(ii) by the Company if there has been a Breach by Parent with respect to its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement, in each case such that the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 hereof would not be satisfied, and such misrepresentation, default or breach shall not have been cured within ten (10) days after receipt by Parent of notice specifying particularly such misrepresentation, default or breach;

56

(iii) by Parent if there has been a Breach by the Company or the Significant Stockholders with respect to any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement, in each case such that the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof would not be satisfied, and such misrepresentation, default or breach shall not have been cured within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of notice specifying particularly such misrepresentation, default or breach;

(iv) by the Company or by Parent if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before 60 days after the date of this Agreement; provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement if its breach or violation of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall have been the principal cause of the Closing not having occurred on or before such date;

(v) by Parent if Written Consents evidencing the Requisite Vote shall not have been delivered, properly completed and executed to approve the Merger, this Agreement and the documents and transactions contemplated hereby within eight (8) business days after the date of this Agreement;

(vi) by the Company or by Parent, if (i) there shall be a final nonappealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (ii) there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the transactions by any Government Authority which would make the consummation of the transactions illegal; or

(vii) by Parent if, at any time prior to receipt of the Requisite Vote, it shall have determined there has occurred an effect, event or change which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(b) In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 (a), this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, except that nothing herein will relieve any Party from Liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination.

11.2 Termination Fee.

(a) Parent shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs incurred after August 1, 2013 in connection with the negotiation and anticipated consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in an amount not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Expense Payment”) in the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) or Section 11.1(a)(iv) or (ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iv) in the event that, at the time of such termination, all conditions to Closing have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing). Parent shall pay the Expense Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) business days of the termination of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that the Expense Payment becomes payable and if requested by the Company, Parent will provide interim financing to the Company in an amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Interim Financing”). The Interim Financing may be provided by Parent in the form of a loan or an investment in the equity of the Company upon customary terms to be mutually agreed between the Company and Parent; provided that any debt financing shall include the following terms: (i) interest rate equal to LIBOR, (ii) 12 month term, (iii) subordinate to existing senior debt of the Company, (iv) unsecured and with no negative pledges on intellectual property or other assets of the

57

Company, (v) the absence of financial or other operating covenants, and (vi) the absence of warrant or other equity security coverage.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, payment of the Expense Payment and, if requested, Interim Financing to the Company by Parent in accordance with this Agreement will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its Stockholders under this Agreement and will be deemed liquidated damages for any actual or purported breach of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, and, after such payment has been made, Parent will have no further liability for any such actual or purported breach and the Company shall not seek to recover any other money damages or seek any other remedy, and all such claims are hereby waived, except that nothing herein will relieve any Indemnified Party from Liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement. The Parties agree that the Company’s actual damages would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine in the event of termination pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 11.2(a)(i) and (ii). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 11.2(c) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that without these agreements Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement and that the amounts payable hereunder do not constitute a penalty.

(d) In no event shall Parent be required to pay the Expense Payment or Interim Financing on more than one occasion, whether or not the Expense Payment or Interim Financing may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement, at the same or at different times.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Company may not make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Parent and Parent may not make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein without the prior written Consent of the Company (or after the Closing, the Stockholders’ Representative). Any purported assignment without prior written consent shall be void and of no force or effect.

12.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

Each party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 12.3. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby in (i) the state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, or (ii) the United States District Court for

58

the District of Delaware, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. This Section 12.3 shall not apply to any dispute under Section 1.11 that is required to be decided by the Accounting Firm.

12.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and any agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 12.4.

12.5 Specific Performance. The Company acknowledges that Parent shall be irreparably harmed and that there shall be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by Company of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. Parent acknowledges that the Participating Holders shall be irreparably harmed and that there shall be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to, but not in lieu of, any other remedies which may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements, Parent and the Company, if prior to the Closing, or the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Participating Holders), if after the Closing, shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to obtain specific performance of, any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. All rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or applicable law.

12.6 Severability. Each section, subsection and lesser section of this Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct undertaking, covenant and/or provision hereof. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall finally be determined to be unlawful, such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, but every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

12.7 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of an instrument in writing signed by Parent, the Company and, after the Closing, the Stockholders’ Representative.

No such extension or waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party extending the time of performance or waiving any such inaccuracy or non-compliance. No waiver by any Party of any term of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term of this Agreement on any future occasion.

Nothing in the Agreement or in the Disclosure Schedule constitutes an admission that any information disclosed, set forth or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Schedule or in the Agreement is material, constitutes a Material Adverse Effect or is otherwise required by the terms of the Agreement to be so disclosed, set forth or incorporated by reference. Any disclosure set forth in any particular Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule will be deemed disclosed for any other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule to the extent that its relevance or applicability to such other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. The Disclosure Schedule is incorporated herein by reference. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules (including but not limited to those relating to any possible breach of violation of any agreement, law or regulation) shall be construed or deemed to be, nor shall it constitute, an admission to any third party concerning such item.

12.19 Conflict of Interest.

Upon and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with Cooley, unless and to the extent Cooley is specifically engaged in writing by the Surviving Corporation to represent the Surviving Corporation after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to the Participating Holders or the Stockholders’ Representative consents in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of the Surviving Corporation by Cooley after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.
