AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

     THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 21st day of January, 2011 by and among EnerNOC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), M2M Merger Sub, Inc., an Idaho corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (“Merger Sub”), M2M Communications Corporation, an Idaho corporation (the “Company”), the parties identified on the signature page hereto as “Stockholders”, and Steven L. Hodges, in his capacity as the representative of the Stockholders. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article 12.

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (“Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the Idaho Business Corporation Act (the “IBCA”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent.

     WHEREAS, if requested by Parent, the parties have agreed to join in the making of an election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (and comparable provisions of state income Tax law).

     WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved this Agreement and the Transaction.

     WHEREAS, the Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to consummate the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
MERGER

     1.1 Merger. At the Effective Time, and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the IBCA, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Entity”). At the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the other effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the IBCA.

     1.2 Effective Time of the Merger. Concurrently with the Closing, the Surviving Entity shall file Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) meeting the requirements of the provisions of the IBCA and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the IBCA.

The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Idaho Secretary of State in accordance with the IBCA or at such later time as may be specified in the Articles of Merger (the time as of which Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

     1.3 Organizational Documents, Directors and Officers of the Surviving Entity. As of the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Entity shall be amended and restated in their entirety to conform to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. The directors of the Surviving Entity shall be the directors of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each such director shall hold office, subject to the applicable provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Entity, until the expiration of the term for which such director was elected and until his or her successor is elected and has qualified or as otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Entity. The officers of the Surviving Entity shall be the officers of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time until their respective successors are chosen and have qualified or as otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Entity.

     1.4 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time,

          (a) The Common Shares of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger (other than Dissenting Shares as defined in Section 1.7) shall represent the right to receive the Estimated Merger Consideration set forth on the Estimated Statement payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock of the Surviving Entity.

     1.5 Miscellaneous Merger Terms. At the Effective Time, all shares of capital stock of the Company shall be canceled and cease to exist, and each holder of a share of capital stock of the Company shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder, except for the right to receive the payments provided pursuant to this Agreement or, with respect to any Dissenting Shares, the appraisal rights provided by the IBCA. After the Effective Time, no transfer of shares of capital stock of the Company shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Entity. To the extent any actions are required to be taken by the Company or any holder of shares of capital stock of the Company prior to the Effective Time to cause such securities to be cancelled as provided above, the Company shall take or shall cause any required holders to take any and all of such actions.

     1.6 Treatment of Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions as necessary so that each outstanding option to purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock and/or other equity interest in the Company shall be terminated effective as of the Effective Time without the payment of additional Merger Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, the Company shall provide the Parent with evidence satisfactory to the Parent that

the foregoing actions have been taken, including the provision of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company adopting such actions, and the Company will obtain written consents from the affected Option holders, if required, under the terms of the applicable Option agreements.

     1.7 Shares of Dissenting Stockholders.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of capital stock of the Company that are issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and that are held by a holder who has properly exercised such holder’s appraisal rights under the IBCA (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration provided for in Article 2, unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, his or her right to dissent from the Merger under the IBCA, and shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the IBCA. If any such holder shall have so failed to perfect or have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, each share of such holder’s shares of capital stock of the Company shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the consideration provided for in Article 2.

          (b) The Company and the Parent shall give the other prompt notice of any notice or demands for appraisal or payment for shares of capital stock of the Company received by the Company or the Parent, as the case may be.

          (c) The Dissenting Shares, if any, after payments of fair value in respect thereof have been made to the holders thereof pursuant to the IBCA, shall be canceled.

     1.8 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or Surviving Entity to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of Parent and Merger Sub shall be fully authorized to take such action.

ARTICLE 2
MERGER CONSIDERATION

     2.1 Merger Consideration.

          (a) The “Merger Consideration” shall equal the following:

               (i) $15,000,000 in cash;

               (ii) plus, such aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounding down to the nearest whole share) as is equal to the result obtained by dividing (A) $15,000,000 by (B) the Ten Day Trading Average Price;

               (iii) minus, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount by which the

Capitalization Amount is less than $0; and

               (iv) plus, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount by which the Capitalization Amount is greater than $0, which amount will be paid in cash to the Stockholders on the Closing.

     2.2 Calculation and Procedure for Payment of Estimated Merger Consideration.

          (a) The number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued and the amount of cash to be paid at the Closing Date shall be determined based on the following: not less than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Parent a reasonably detailed statement (the “Estimated Statement”) in the form set forth on Exhibit A containing (i) good faith estimates of the Capitalization Amount and the accrued but unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, in each case as of the Closing, (ii) the Company’s calculation of the Merger Consideration (based on the Company’s good faith estimates of the Capitalization Amount and accrued but unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as of the Closing) pursuant to Section 2.1 (the “Estimated Merger Consideration”), (iii) for each holder of a share of capital stock of the Company that is an Accredited Holder, such holder’s portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration to be paid in cash (collectively, the “Cash Merger Consideration”) and in Parent Common Stock (collectively, the “Stock Merger Consideration”) at the Closing, (v) for each holder of a share of capital stock of the Company that is a Non-Accredited Holder, such holder’s portion of the Cash Merger Consideration, (v) the aggregate Indemnity Escrow Amount, (vi) the aggregate First Holdback Amount and the aggregate Second Holdback Amount, respectively, and (vii) for each holder of a Common Share who has delivered a Letter of Transmittal, such holder’s portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, First Holdback Amount and Second Holdback Amount, respectively, if any. The Estimated Statement shall be based upon the books and records of the Company Group and other information then available and shall be subject to Parent review (including review of reasonable backup information) prior to being formally delivered under this paragraph.

          (b) At or prior to the Closing, each holder of record of a share of capital stock of the Company shall surrender evidence of the ownership of such share of capital stock of the Company held by such holder, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal in such form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Letter of Transmittal”) which Letter of Transmittal shall specify the instructions for effecting the surrender of the shares of capital stock of the Company in exchange for such holder’s portion of the Merger Consideration. For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge the Letter of Transmittal may, at Parent’s option, require that each Stockholder agree to be bound by the terms of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Escrow Agreement, appoint the Stockholder Representative as provided by this Agreement and may include representations and warranties from such Stockholder as to the ownership of its shares of capital stock of the Company and the absence of any liens, encumbrances or other restrictions on its right to transfer such shares of capital stock of the Company or have them converted into Merger Consideration as provided herein. In the event that any written evidence of a share of capital stock of the Company shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall cause the portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed written evidence, upon receipt from the holder of an

affidavit of loss; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed written evidence to agree to indemnify Parent or the Surviving Entity against any claim that may be made against Parent or Entity with respect to the written evidence of a share of capital stock of the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

          (c) At the Effective Time, the Parent, or the Surviving Entity on behalf of the Parent, shall deliver to each Stockholder (other than a Stockholder holding Dissenting Shares), who has complied with Section 2.2(b) and Section 3.2(l)), such Stockholders’ portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration less such Stockholder’s portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, First Holdback Amount and Second Holdback Amount, as set forth in the Estimated Statement. Such delivery shall consist of (i) at the Effective Time, such Stockholder’s portion of the Cash Merger Consideration which shall be payable by check or wire transfer (at the Surviving Entity’s option), minus, solely with respect to each Stockholder that is a Non-Accredited Holder such Stockholder’s portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the First Holdback Amount and the Second Holdback Amount consisting of Cash Merger Consideration in each case as set forth on the Estimated Statement, and (ii) solely with respect each Stockholder who is an Accredited Holder, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, a certificate representing the number of shares equal to such Stockholder’s portion of the Stock Merger Consideration minus such Stockholder’s portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the First Holdback Amount and the Second Holdback Amount consisting of Stock Merger Consideration, in each case as set forth on the Estimated Statement. Until surrendered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each outstanding Common Share will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive such portion of the Merger Consideration as set forth on the Estimated Statement.

          (d) At the Closing, the Company shall pay the accrued but unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as reflected in the Estimated Statement.

          (e) At the Closing, the Parent shall pay or issue to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Stockholders the Indemnity Escrow Amount by depositing such amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and Section 2.3.

          (f) At the Closing, the Parent shall retain the First Holdback Amount and Second Holdback Amount until such time as such amounts are to be released to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.7.

          (g) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Merger Consideration payable to Non-Accredited Holders consist of any shares of Parent Common Stock.

     2.3 Escrow.

          (a) For purposes of payment of the Stockholders’ obligations pursuant to Article 9, an amount equal to the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow until distribution is required under the terms of the Escrow Agreement. With respect to each Stockholder who has delivered a Letter of Transmittal, the amount equal to such Stockholder’s

portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, as set forth in the Estimated Statement, associated with the shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by such Stockholder shall be allocated to such Stockholder’s escrow account maintained pursuant to the Escrow Agreement for indemnification purposes, such amount to be adjusted as set forth in the Escrow Agreement (each, an “Indemnity Escrow Account”), it being understood that the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall consist of: (i) with respect to Accredited Holders, solely Stock Merger Consideration and (ii) with respect to Non-Accredited Holders, solely Cash Merger Consideration. The approval of this Agreement by the Stockholders will constitute their approval of the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, which is an integral part of the Transaction, and the appointment of the Stockholder Representative.

          (b) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that (i) the shares of Parent Common Stock consisting of the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount allocable to Accredited Holders and (ii) the cash consisting of the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount allocable to Non-Accredited Holders, in each case, are being deemed delivered by the Parent to the Stockholder on or promptly after the Closing Date, after which each Stockholder who has delivered a Letter of Transmittal is deemed to immediately deposit its pro rata portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount based on the Merger Consideration payable to the Stockholders who have delivered Letters of Transmittals with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

     2.4 Calculation and Payment of Final Merger Consideration.

          (a) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative its final determination of the Merger Consideration, including statements of the Capitalization Amount and accrued but unpaid Company Transaction Expenses (the “Final Statement”), including such schedules and data as may be appropriate to support such calculations. The Surviving Entity shall provide the Stockholder Representative with reasonable access to the Records and the employees and accountants of the Surviving Entity (during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice) to review the Final Statement, and the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to review any working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Final Statement prepared by or on behalf of the Surviving Entity; provided however that neither the Surviving Entity nor the Parent shall have the obligation to require its independent accountants to provide access to their respective working papers.

          (b) If the Stockholder Representative objects to the Surviving Entity’s determination of the Capitalization Amount and accrued but unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, as reflected in the Final Statement, the Stockholder Representative shall notify the Surviving Entity in writing of such objection(s) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Final Statement from the Surviving Entity (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice shall specify which item(s) of Final Statement is (are) being disputed and describe in reasonable detail the basis for such disputes.

          (c) If the Stockholder Representative delivers an Objection Notice with respect to the Final Statement in accordance with Section 2.4(b), then the Stockholder

Representative and the Surviving Entity shall attempt to resolve such disputed items.

          (d) In the event the Surviving Entity and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve the disputed items within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Objection Notice, either the Surviving Entity or the Stockholder Representative may demand that such disputed items be referred to an independent accounting firm as is mutually acceptable to each of the Surviving Entity and the Stockholder Representative to finally resolve such disputed items. The independent accounting firm shall act as an arbitrator to determine only the disputed items, and the determination of each disputed item shall be within the range established by the Final Statement and the Objection Notice. The determination of such independent accounting firm shall be made as promptly as possible and shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each party hereto shall be permitted to submit such data and information to such independent accounting firm as the parties deem appropriate. The Surviving Entity and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 2.4(d). All expenses and fees incurred in connection with the independent accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Surviving Entity on one hand and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, on the other hand.

          (e) The Capitalization Amount and accrued but unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as determined in accordance with this Section 2.4 shall be used to determine the final Merger Consideration in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 2.1 (the “Final Merger Consideration”). Once the Final Merger Consideration is determined in accordance with Section 2.1 and this Section 2.4, the following shall occur:

     (i) if the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration, the Parent shall pay such excess (to the extent provided by this Agreement) as follows: (i) 50% of such excess in shares of Parent Common Stock (such             shares of Parent Common Stock to be valued at its Ten Day Trading Average Price) and (ii) 50% of such excess in cash, in each case, on behalf of each Stockholder entitled to receive a portion of such difference, within three (3) days following delivery of such written notice, the amount of such excess; or

     (ii) if the Estimated Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Merger Consideration, the Stockholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay or cause to be paid to the Parent such excess as follows: such excess shall be paid to the Parent in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock allocated pro rata based on the relative percentages of the Indemnity Escrow Amount consisting of cash and             shares of Parent Common Stock (such shares of Parent Common Stock to be valued at its Ten Day Trading Average Price) within three (3) days following delivery of such written notice.

     2.5 Withholding. Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Entity will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as any of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Entity determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld

and remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

     2.6 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip for fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued, no Parent stock split or dividend will be paid in respect of any fractional share interest, and no such fractional share interest will entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of or as a stockholder of Parent. In lieu of fractional shares, any Stockholder that would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder) will be paid the cash value of such fraction, which will be equal to such fraction multiplied by the Ten Day Trading Average Price.

     2.7 Holdback. An amount equal to the First Holdback Amount and the Second Holdback Amount shall be held by the Parent until distribution is required under the terms of this Agreement. Neither the First Holdback Amount nor the Second Holdback Amount shall be subject to any adjustment.

          (a) The First Holdback Amount shall be released on the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Closing Date to each Stockholder who has delivered a Letter of Transmittal; provided that if Steve Hodges and at least two of the Retention Employees are employees in good standing of Parent or any of its subsidiaries as of the second anniversary of the Closing Date (provided that for purposes of such determination, any Retention Employee who has died, has been terminated without Cause, has suffered a Disability, has been required to relocate more than fifty (50) miles from Boise, Idaho as a condition to continued employment, or has had a materially adverse change in job duties (excluding any change in job title), will be deemed to count as an employee in good standing), then Parent a shall release the First Holdback Amount as soon as practicable after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Each such Stockholder who has delivered a Letter of Transmittal shall receive the amount equal to such Stockholder’s portion of the First Holdback Amount, as set forth in the Estimated Statement.

          (b) The Second Holdback Amount shall be released on the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Closing Date to each Stockholder who has delivered a Letter of Transmittal; provided that if the Performance Milestone is met as provided in Exhibit H attached hereto, the Parent and the Stockholders Representative shall release the Second Holdback Amount, within 15 days of the final determination that the Performance Milestone has been met. Each such Stockholder who has delivered a Letter of Transmittal shall receive the amount equal to such Stockholder’s portion of the Second Holdback Amount, as set forth in the Estimated Statement.

          (c) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the shares of Parent Common Stock and the cash consisting of the First Holdback Amount and Second Holdback Amount, respectively, shall not be owned (or deemed owned) by the Stockholders until such amounts are released to the Stockholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

               (iv) Protection of Proprietary Information. The Company and each Company Subsidiary has taken all reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of and otherwise protect and enforce their rights in all proprietary information pertaining to the Company, such Company Subsidiary or any Company Product.

Each item of Company IP that is Registered IP is and at all times has been in compliance with all legal requirements and all filings, payments, and other actions required to be made or taken to maintain such item of Company IP in full force and effect have been made by the applicable deadline.

Company Subsidiary, threatened, in which the scope, validity, or enforceability of any Company IP is being, has been, or could reasonably be expected to be contested or challenged. To the Knowledge of the Company and each Company Subsidiary, there is no basis for a claim that any Company IP is invalid or unenforceable.

          (i) Third-Party Infringement of Company IP. To the Knowledge of the Company and each Company Subsidiary, no Person has infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated, and no Person is currently infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating, any Company IP.

          (j) Effects of This Transaction. Neither the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement (or any of the Transaction Agreements) nor the consummation of any of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or any of the Transaction Agreements) will, with or without notice or lapse of time, result in, or give any other Person the right or option to cause or declare, (i) a loss of, or Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on, any Company IP; (ii) a breach of or default under any Company IP Contract; (iii) the release, disclosure, or delivery of any Company IP by or to any escrow agent or other Person; or (iv) the grant, assignment, or transfer to any other Person of any license or other right or interest under, to, or in any of the Company IP.

No Company Product, and no method or process used in the manufacturing of any Company Product, infringes, violates, or makes unlawful use of any Intellectual Property Right of, or contains any Intellectual Property misappropriated from, any other Person. There is no legitimate basis for a claim that the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Product has infringed or misappropriated any Intellectual Property Right of another Person or engaged in unfair competition or that any Company Product, or any method or process used in the manufacturing of any Company Product, infringes, violates, or makes unlawful use of any Intellectual Property Right of, or contains any Intellectual Property misappropriated from, any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

               (ii) Other Infringement Liability. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is bound by any Contract to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, or reimburse any other Person with respect to, or otherwise assumed or agreed to discharge or otherwise take responsibility for, any existing or potential intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or similar claim (other than indemnification provisions in the standard forms of Company IP Contracts).

          (c) by the Parent if there shall have been a breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement (i) that causes (or would reasonably be expected to cause) any condition precedent to Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations as set forth in Section 3.2 not to be satisfied, and (ii) which breach or failure to perform is not capable of being cured or, if reasonably capable of being cured, shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (A) twenty (20) days following notice of such breach and (B) the Termination Date;

     9.2 Indemnification by Stockholders.

          (a) Each Stockholder and its successors and assigns, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and defend the Parent Indemnified Parties and hold them harmless from and against any and all Losses of or against the Parent Indemnified Parties after the Closing to the extent resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date of any representation or warranty made by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Stockholder in the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant of the Company or any Company Subsidiary contained in the Transaction

          (b) Subject to the limitations, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, each Stockholder shall severally indemnify and defend the Parent Indemnified Parties and hold them harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by them to the extent resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by such Stockholder in such Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal or in Article 13 to this Agreement and (ii) any failure of such Stockholder to have good, valid and marketable title, free and clear of all Liens, to the capital stock of the Company issued in the name of such Stockholder.

     9.3 Procedure Relative to Indemnification.

          (a) In the event that any Parent Indemnified Party hereto shall claim that it is entitled to be indemnified, defended or held harmless pursuant to the terms of this Article 9 (each, a “Claim”), such party (the “Claiming Party”) shall notify the party or parties against which the claim is made (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (a “Claim Notice”) of such Claim promptly after the Claiming Party receives notice of any action, Proceeding, demand or assessment or otherwise has received notice or become aware of any claim that may reasonably be expected to result in a Claim by the Claiming Party against the Indemnifying Party (provided that in the event of a delay in giving such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall not be relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless it is materially prejudiced thereby). The Claim Notice shall specify the breach of representation, warranty, agreement or covenant or other basis for indemnification claimed by the Claiming Party and the Losses incurred by, or actually or potentially imposed upon, the Claiming Party on account thereof. If such Losses are liquidated in amount, the Claim Notice shall so state and such amount shall be deemed the amount of the Claim of the Claiming Party. If the amount is not liquidated, the Claim Notice shall so state and in such event a Claim shall be deemed asserted against the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Claiming Party.

          (b) The following provisions shall apply to Claims of the Claiming Party

which are based upon a claim by a third-party (a “Third-Party Claim”) (including any form of Proceeding filed or instituted by any Governmental Body), except as otherwise provided in Article 10 with respect to Tax Audits:

               (i) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon receipt of the Claim Notice and at its expense, to defend such Third-Party Claim in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Claiming Party. The Claiming Party shall cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested of the Claiming Party, and the Claiming Party shall have the right, at the Claiming Party’s expense, to participate in the defense. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third-Party Claim only with the consent of the Claiming Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Parent determines in its reasonable judgment that (x) there is a probability that the amount of Loss claimed will be greater than the Indemnity Escrow Amount; (y) the Claims include claims seeking equitable or other non-monetary relief, or (z) there is a probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect its rights to conduct the Business after the Closing Date, then Parent may, by written notice to the Stockholder Representative, assume the exclusive right to control, defend, compromise, or settle such Third-Party Claim and the amount of such Loss, if any, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement. In all such cases, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate, at Indemnifying Party’s expense, in the defense or settlement of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

               (ii) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Third-Party Claim, and as a condition thereto, the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim and shall thereby waive its right to dispute the merits of the Third-Party Claim or to otherwise dispute that the Third-Party Claim is the subject of indemnification hereunder.

               (iii) In the event the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party does not wish to defend the Third-Party Claim (or otherwise under the circumstances described in either of the penultimate sentence of Section 9.3(b)(i)) the Claiming Party shall have the right to conduct a defense against such Third-Party Claim and shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third-Party Claim if it acts reasonably and in good faith upon ten (10) days’ notice to, but without having to first obtain the consent of, the Indemnifying Party.

          (c) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such Claim Notice to notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not timely notify the Claiming Party of such dispute, then the amount of such Claim shall be deemed, conclusively, a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does timely notify the Claiming Party of such dispute, then the Claiming Party shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnifying Party. If after such thirty (30)-day period there remains a dispute as to any such Claim, then the Claiming Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith for a

period not to exceed thirty (30) additional days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such Claim. If the parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Parent and the Stockholder Representative. If the parties do not agree within such additional thirty (30)-day period, then the Claiming Party may pursue any and all other remedies available to it hereunder.

          (d) Once the amount of any Claim under this Article 9 is liquidated and the Claim is finally determined, the Claiming Party shall be entitled to pursue each and every remedy available to it at law or in equity to enforce the indemnification provisions of this Article 9 and, in the event it is determined, or the Indemnifying Party agrees, that it is obligated to indemnify the Claiming Party for such Claim, the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees which may be incurred by the Claiming Party in attempting to enforce indemnification under this Article 9 whether the same shall be enforced by suit or otherwise which the Indemnifying Party and the Claiming Party agree are due to the Claiming Party or which a court, arbitrator or other judicial body determines are due to the Claiming Party.

Surviving Entity to, deliver to the Stockholder Representative a copy of such Pre-Closing Tax Return (or a portion of the workpapers related to a Return showing calculations related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period) for the Stockholder Representative’s review and comment.

     10.3 Transfer Taxes. All stock transfer, property transfer, excise, sales, use, documentary, stamp, Taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such taxes) in each case including any such Taxes or fees levied upon the transfer of stock or other equity interests in an entity on account of such entity’s direct or indirect ownership of property (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Stockholders. Parent shall timely prepare and file all necessary Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

From and after the Closing Date, each of Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Stockholders shall cooperate, as reasonably requested, in connection with the preparation of any Returns of the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company and in connection with any Tax Audits with respect to Taxes or Returns. Such

cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request, at the requesting parties cost and expense) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Audit. Parent and the Stockholders (or Stockholder Representative, as appropriate) shall, upon request, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

For the purposes of this Section 10.5, the following agreements shall be disregarded: (i) commercially reasonable agreements providing for the allocation or payment of real property Taxes attributable to real property leased or occupied by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) commercially reasonable agreements for the allocation or payment of personal property Taxes, sales or use Taxes or value added Taxes with respect to personal property leased, used, owned or sold in the ordinary course of business.

     10.6 Conflicts. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Article 10 and Article 9, this Article 10 shall exclusively govern any matter relating to Taxes.

     10.7 Tax Treatment of Certain Payments. For all relevant Tax purposes, all indemnification payments paid pursuant to Article 9 shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

     10.8 § 338(h)(10) Election. If requested by Parent, the Stockholders shall join with the Surviving Entity in making § 338(h)(10) Election(s) (i.e., elections under § 338(h)(10) of the Code and any corresponding election under state Tax law) with respect to the Merger hereunder. The Surviving Entity will notify the Stockholders Representative of its intent to make such election at any time prior to the last date for filing such election as required by applicable law. The parties agree that upon the making of a § 338(h)(10) Election, the Final Merger Consideration, the liabilities of the Surviving Entity, and any other relevant items shall be allocated for income Tax purposes among the assets of the Surviving Entity in accordance with an allocation schedule prepared by the Parent or the Surviving Entity in accordance with §338 and § 1060 of the Code (as adjusted by the Parent or Surviving Entity for any subsequent payments pursuant to this Agreement), and Surviving Entity and the Stockholders shall report consistently with such allocation for all Tax purposes. The Stockholders shall timely execute and file, or deliver to Parent and Surviving Entity for filing (as requested by Parent or Surviving Entity), all documents and forms Parent or Surviving Entity may request in connection with the § 338(h)(10) Election, including without limitation IRS Forms 8023 and 8594. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Surviving Entity shall have no payment obligation to the Stockholders as a result of a § 338(h)(10) Election other than a payment (the “Gross-up Payment”) to the Stockholders pro rata in accordance with their interests in the Merger Consideration. The amount of the Gross-up Payment shall be equal to the lesser of (a) $250,000 or (b) the incremental marginal tax on ordinary income plus the gross-up amount for long-term capital gain

multiplied by the aggregate ordinary income and short-term capital gain recognized by the Company as a result of the § 338(h)(10) Election, and such amount shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parent and the Stockholders Representative.

          (a) to act for such Stockholder with regard to Claims (other than Claims for which such Stockholder is solely liable), including the power to compromise or settle any Claim on behalf of such Stockholder and to transact matters of litigation, and to act for such Stockholder under the Escrow Agreement;

          (b) to execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, certificates and documents that the Stockholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the Transactions;

          (c) to receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds;

     11.2 Other Powers and Duties of the Stockholder Representative. The appointment of the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and the parties hereto and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Stockholder Representative in all matters referred to herein. Any action taken by the Stockholder Representative must be in writing and must be signed by the Stockholder Representative. All notices required to be made or delivered by any Parent Party or the Surviving Entity to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 or otherwise shall be made to the Stockholder Representative, which shall discharge in full all other notice requirements of the Parent Parties to the Stockholders with respect thereto. The

Stockholders hereby confirm and ratify all that the Stockholder Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of its appointment as the representative of the Stockholders hereunder. The Stockholder Representative shall act for the Stockholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Stockholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Stockholders, and consistent with the obligations of the Stockholders under this Agreement, but the Stockholder Representative shall not be responsible to the Stockholders for any Losses which the Stockholders may suffer by the performance of the Stockholder Representative’s duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damages arising from willful violation of any Legal Requirement, bad faith or fraud in the performance of such duties under this Agreement and in no event shall any such losses or damages include consequential, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary or punitive losses or damages of any kind whatsoever.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative is not required to seek any such approval and may act alone as determined in his sole judgment.

     11.4 Expenses of the Stockholder Representative.

If, on the date that the amounts remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Accounts are distributed to Stockholders there remain amounts greater than zero in such

Indemnity Escrow Accounts, the Stockholder Representative may request that the Escrow Agent to deduct such fees and expenses of the Stockholder Representative from the amounts in the Stockholders’ respective Indemnity Escrow Accounts otherwise distributable to the Stockholders.

     11.5 Indemnification. Each Stockholder hereby agrees (severally but not jointly) to indemnify the Stockholder Representative (in its capacity as such) against, and to hold the Stockholder Representative (in its capacity as such) harmless from, its proportionate share (based on the aggregate portion of the Merger Consideration payable with respect to all of the shares of capital stock of the Company held of record by such Stockholder as a percentage of the Merger Consideration) of any and all Losses of whatever kind which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Stockholder Representative in such capacity in any way relating to or arising out of the Stockholder Representative’s action or failure to take action pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or in connection herewith or therewith in such capacity; provided, however, that no Stockholder shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Losses to the extent resulting from the bad faith or fraud of the Stockholder Representative or any violation by the Stockholder Representative of its obligations under this Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby authorizes the Stockholder Representative to apply proceeds otherwise distributable to the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to satisfy any of such Stockholder’s obligations under this Section 11.5.
