The boards of directors (or similar governing body) of each of Parent, Merger Subs and the Company have determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of each such corporation and their respective equityholders that Parent acquire the Company through the statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “First Step Merger”). As soon as practicable following the First Step Merger, and as part of a single integrated transaction, Parent will cause the Company, as the surviving entity in the First Step Merger, to merge with and into Merger Sub Two, with Merger Sub Two continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Step Merger” and, taken together with the First Step Merger, the “Merger”).

B. The Company and Parent intend, by executing this Agreement, that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

C. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Subs, on the other hand, desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

D. Pursuant to the First Step Merger, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein; (ii) all of the Company Options shall be cancelled and extinguished and shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein; and (iii) all of the issued and outstanding Company Warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Company Capital Stock shall be terminated and shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein.

E. A portion of the consideration otherwise payable by Parent in connection with the Merger shall be placed in escrow by Parent as partial security for the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement in the amount and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

E. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent and Merger Subs to enter into this Agreement, (i) each of the Key Employees shall enter into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with Parent, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Key Employee Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreements”); and (ii) each of the Key Employees shall execute an offer letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Key Employee Offer Letters”), each to be effective as of the Effective Time.

F. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent and Merger Subs to enter into this Agreement, certain holders of shares of Company Capital Stock or Company Options set forth in Schedule A shall execute and deliver Voting Agreements, in the form attached as Exhibit C (each, a “Voting Agreement”) to Parent and Merger Subs.

G. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent and Subs to enter into this Agreement, Company Securityholders listed on Schedule A are entering into and delivering to Parent one or more Joinder and Waiver Agreements, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Joinder and Waiver Agreement”), to be effective upon the Closing.

To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. To the extent that any payment pursuant to this Agreement is not reduced by such deductions or withholdings, such recipient shall indemnify Parent and its Affiliates (including the Interim Surviving Entity and the Final Surviving Entity) for any amounts imposed by any taxing authority with respect to any payments made to such recipient pursuant to this Agreement, together with any costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation); provided, however, that such recipient shall not be required to indemnify Parent and its Affiliates (including the Interim Surviving Entity and the Final Surviving Entity) for any cost or expense attributable to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Parent or its Affiliates.

(a) No Conversion. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a Company Stockholder who has duly perfected dissenters’ rights under applicable Law (any such shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable amount of consideration under this Agreement for such Company Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 2.7, but in lieu thereof, such Company Stockholder shall be entitled to such rights as are provided by applicable Law.

(b) Loss of Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s dissenters’ rights under applicable Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10, (i) the Per Share Closing Merger Consideration; and (ii) a portion of the Earnout Consideration as set forth in Section 2.16, when and if paid.

Each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates and representatives to, provide full cooperation to the Independent Accounting Firm, including providing the Independent Accounting Firm with all relevant information, books and records and any work papers relating to the disputed items and amounts and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall (1) act in its capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator; (2) consider only those items and amounts identified in the Working Capital Memorandum as being in dispute between Parent and the Securityholder Representative; (3) be instructed to reach its conclusions regarding any such dispute within 30 days after its appointment and provide a written explanation of its decision; and (4) not (x) determine any liability claimed by the Securityholder Representative or asset claimed by Parent in an amount less than that claimed by such party; or (y) determine any asset claimed by the Securityholder Representative or liability claimed by Parent in an amount in excess of the amount claimed by such party except, in the case of each of (x) and (y), as may be necessary to make a corresponding adjustment to a disputed item in accordance with GAAP. All expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be shared equally by Parent and the Securityholder Representative (for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders).

(b) Closing Payments.

(i) Promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than four Business Days after the Closing Date, Parent or its agent shall mail a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to each Company Stockholder at the address set forth opposite each such Company Stockholder’s name on the Spreadsheet.

Parent or its agent shall deliver such consideration (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be delivered in a book-entry or similar position through The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation or any other depository or similar functionary, credited to an account for the benefit of such Company Stockholder) specified in the preceding sentence to such Company Stockholder. Upon the surrender of any such Company Stock Certificate, the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall thereupon be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Company Stock Certificate outstanding after the Effective Time will be deemed, for all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.7 plus the right to receive a portion of the Earnout Consideration as set forth in Section 2.16, when and if paid.

(c) Promptly following the determination of the Final Adjusted Closing Merger Consideration Amount, in the event that the Final Adjusted Closing Merger Consideration Amount is (i) less than the Estimated Adjusted Closing Merger Consideration Amount (such difference, the “Shortfall Amount”), Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly release from the Escrow Fund and deliver to Parent such number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) as is equal to the Shortfall Amount divided by the Closing Price; or (ii) greater than the Estimated Adjusted Closing Merger Consideration Amount (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), Parent or its agent shall deliver to the Company Securityholders, in accordance with their respective pro rata portion (based on the number of Company Securities held by such Company Securityholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time over the Total Outstanding Shares), an aggregate amount of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) valued at the Closing Price or cash (at Parent’s sole discretion) equal to the Excess Amount.

All consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Interim Surviving Entity of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Interim Surviving Entity or the Final Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.12 No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Subs, the Interim Surviving Entity, the Final Surviving Entity or any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of any shares of Company Capital Stock for any shares transferred or amounts paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

No interest shall be payable for the cash amounts delivered to Parent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.12 and that are subsequently delivered to the Company Securityholders.

2.13 Transfers of Ownership. If any payments are to be made to a Person other than the Person whose name is reflected on the Company Stock Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it will be a condition of the issuance or delivery thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of any portion of the amounts payable under this Agreement in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

2.14 Surrender of Company Stock Certificates; Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Company Stock Certificates. No portion of the amounts payable under this Agreement shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby until the holder of record of such Company Stock Certificate shall have surrendered such Company Stock Certificate and the Exchange Documents pursuant hereto. In the event that any Company Stock Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent or its agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amount, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.7; provided, however, that Parent or its agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Person who is the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to either (a) deliver a bond in such amount as it may reasonably direct (not to exceed 2.25% of the value of the aggregate Per Share Closing Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares represented by such Company Stock Certificate); or (b) provide an indemnification agreement in a form and substance acceptable to Parent or its agent against any Claim that may be made against Parent or its agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Funding Event has not occurred prior to January 1, 2016, then such percentage in Section 2.16(b)(i)(A) shall be 50% rather than 33.33%.

(ii) If, during any fiscal quarter prior to or including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016 (the “Second Earnout”), the Company manufactures at least 50 megawatts of Qualified Panels with an average Fully Loaded Cost of production of no more than the amount set forth on Schedule 2.16(b)(ii), then the Company Stockholders, the holders of Company Warrants, the holders of Vested Company Options and, as applicable, the holders of Unvested Company Options, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to receive an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) 33.33% of the Earnout Consideration Amount; by (B) the applicable Earnout Closing Price (such number of shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Second Earnout Amount”), with (x) each Company Stockholder being entitled to receive an amount of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Second Earnout Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the applicable Per Share Earnout Consideration; by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time; (y) each holder of Company Warrants being entitled to receive an amount of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Second Earnout Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Per Share Earnout Consideration; by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (after giving effect to the conversion of Company Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock, if applicable) issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (z) each holder of Vested Company Options and, as applicable, each holder of Unvested Company Options being entitled to receive a number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock from the Second Earnout Amount (rounded down

-28-

to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; multiplied by (B) the Per Share Earnout Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Funding Event has not occurred prior to January 1, 2016, then such percentage in Section 2.16(b)(ii)(A) shall be 50% rather than 33.33%.

(iii) If (A) a Funding Event occurs prior to January 1, 2016, and (B) during any fiscal quarter prior to or including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016 ((A) and (B), the “Third Earnout”), the Company manufactures at least 100 megawatts of Qualified Panels with an average Fully Loaded Cost of production of no more than the amount set forth on Schedule 2.16(b)(iii), then the Company Stockholders, the holders of Company Warrants, the holders of Vested Company Options and, as applicable, the holders of Unvested Company Options, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to receive an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) 33.34% of the Earnout Consideration Amount; by (2) the applicable Earnout Closing Price (such number of shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Third Earnout Amount”), with (x) each Company Stockholder being entitled to receive an amount of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Third Earnout Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the applicable Per Share Earnout Consideration; by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time; (y) each holder of Company Warrants being entitled to receive an amount of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Third Earnout Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Per Share Earnout Consideration; by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (after giving effect to the conversion of Company Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock, if applicable) issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (z) each holder of Vested Company Options and, as applicable, each holder of Unvested Company Options being entitled to receive a number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock from the Third Earnout Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; multiplied by (B) the Per Share Earnout Consideration.

(i) Promptly following the date of this Agreement, the parties hereto will cooperate to determine the Earnout Option Amount.

(ii) Within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter prior to and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Securityholder Representative a memorandum (the “Earnout Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the Final Surviving Entity’s manufacturing production and the average Fully Loaded Cost of production for the prior fiscal quarter. If a portion of the Earnout Consideration is payable in respect of such prior fiscal quarter (such portion, an “Earnout Payment”), then the applicable Earnout Notice shall also include the calculation of the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock payable in respect of such Earnout Payment valued at the applicable Earnout Closing Price.

(iii) The Securityholder Representative shall have 15 days to make an objection in writing to any item in the Earnout Notice, and that objection must be delivered to Parent prior to the expiration of such 15 day period. If no such objection is delivered to Parent within such 15 day period, then the applicable Earnout Notice shall become final and binding on Parent, the Company Securityholders and the Securityholder Representative.

-29-

(iv) At any time following delivery of an objection pursuant to Section 2.16(c)(iii), either Parent or the Securityholder Representative may elect to resolve any dispute regarding the Earnout Notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.4(d).

(v) Promptly following the resolution of any objections to an Earnout Notice that includes an Earnout Payment, Parent shall distribute (or cause its agent to distribute) such Earnout Payment to the applicable Company Securityholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of the Earnout Payment payable to holders of Unvested Company Options will be paid to the holder in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to the Unvested Company Option prior to the Effective Time, subject to the satisfaction of any vesting conditions (including continued service) that applied to the Unvested Company Option prior to the Effective Time.

(vi) Notwithstanding Section 2.16(c)(v), if Parent delivers an Earnout Notice stating that an Earnout Payment is payable and Parent has a claim outstanding for Excess Losses that have not yet been paid, then Parent shall distribute (or cause its agent to distribute) the portion, if any, of such Earnout Payment that is in excess of such claimed and unpaid Excess Losses to the Company Securityholders, and that portion of such Earnout Payment that is equal to such claimed and unpaid Excess Losses may be retained by Parent. Upon final resolution of such claim, then any such amount in dispute shall either be (A) distributed to the Company Securityholders; or (B) permanently retained by Parent in accordance with such resolution.

(vii) If (A) prior to January 1, 2016, an Earnout Payment is made in respect of the First Earnout, the Second Earnout or both and (B) a Funding Event has not occurred prior to January 1, 2016, then the percentage used in the calculation of the First Earnout Amount, the Second Earnout Amount or both will be adjusted to 50% (rather than 33.33%) and Parent shall promptly distribute (or cause its agent to distribute) the appropriate amount of additional shares of Parent Common Stock, valued as of the First Earnout or the Second Earnout, as applicable (with all such payments rounded down to the nearest share of Parent Common Stock).

(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16, Parent will be permitted, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any Earnout Payment in cash (based on the applicable Earnout Closing Price) rather than shares of Parent Common Stock; provided, however, that the total amount of Parent Common Stock paid to the Company Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement shall equal at least 40% of the total consideration paid to the Company Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement, calculated, for this purpose, based on the fair market value of any shares of Parent Common Stock included in each payment of consideration determined by averaging the high and low sales prices for a share of Parent Common Stock on the payment date.

(d) Earnout Rights Not Transferable. No Company Securityholder may sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of his, her or its right to receive any portion of the Earnout Consideration, other than by operation of law; provided, however, that any Company Securityholders who are investment funds may transfer (through a book entry system maintained by or on behalf of Parent in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c)) all or any portion of their right to receive the Earnout Consideration to any investment funds that are under the control of the same management company after providing written notice to Parent at least five days prior to making such transfer.

(e) Earnout Protections.

(i) Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.16(e), Parent will not take any action the principal purpose of which is to circumvent or adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve the milestones required for the Earnout Consideration to be delivered; provided, however, that Parent’s obligation under this Section 2.16(e)(i) shall be subject in all respects to the prudent business judgment of Parent’s board of directors or management in connection with the business and operations of

-30-

Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Interim Surviving Entity and the Final Surviving Entity), taken as a whole, and nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Parent to (A) operate the Interim Surviving Entity or the Final Surviving Entity as a separate business; or (B) make any investments in any of the Company’s operations in China.

(ii) Parent shall fund the operations of the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable) in a manner that is materially consistent with the annual operating plan in the form provided to Parent by the Company and attached to Schedule 2.16 (the “Operating Plan”), with such changes as may be agreed upon by Parent and the management of the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable), with the affirmative consent of Zheng Xu or, if he is no longer an employee of Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, another person that was a current employee of the Company on the Closing (Mr. Xu or such other employee, the “Management Representative”), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Operating Plan, it is understood and agreed that Parent shall have the right to cease or reduce funding the operations other than ordinary course operating expenses) of the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable) at any time if, in Parent’s prudent and reasonable business judgment, (A) the aggregate costs of the Company’s operations are more than 15% above the Operating Plan (as may be modified pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(ii)) for a particular fiscal quarter as of the end of such fiscal quarter (other than the first fiscal quarter following the Closing); (B) construction of the New York Manufacturing Facility or the Second Line is delayed by two or more quarters from that contemplated by the Operating Plan (as may be modified pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(ii)); (C) the funding contemplated by the New York Facility Agreement is not received; or (D) it is appropriate to do so to respond to Business Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16, if the First Earnout is not achieved and Parent reasonably determines in good faith that the Second Earnout is not likely to be achieved, then Parent shall have no obligation to provide any additional funding to the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable).

(iv) Parent and the Securityholder Representative will reasonably cooperate to adjust the cost targets in Section 2.16(b) as necessary to minimize the effect of any increases in the market spot price for polysilicon and for any cost increases caused by Parent’s requirement that the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable) change its manufacturing processes or procedures (including any requirement that the Final Surviving Entity (or the Interim Surviving Entity, as applicable) use Parent’s Zep system or develop Zep panels).

(v) In the event that the construction of the Second Line is delayed as a result of any war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (regardless of whether war is declared), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power or confiscation, terrorist activities, nationalization, government sanction, embargo or natural disaster, then the parties will cooperate to extend the deadlines associated with the First Earnout, the Second Earnout and the Third Earnout to account for any delays caused by such event, and the date of January 1, 2016 as it appears in this Section 2.16 will be changed to the date of determination of the Third Earnout, after giving effect to such extension.

(vi) Parent is entitled, in its sole discretion, to elect to delay the funding and construction of the Second Line by not more than six months, in which case the parties will cooperate to extend the deadlines associated with the First Earnout, the Second Earnout and the Third Earnout to account for such delay (on at least a day-for-day basis), and the date of January 1, 2016 as it appears in this Section 2.16 will also be adjusted to account for such delay (on at least a day-for-day basis).

(vii) If Parent decides to expand the size of the New York Manufacturing Facility (it being acknowledged that it is the intention of the parties to build a facility with the capacity to produce at least 1 gigawatt of Qualified Panels annually), then Parent, the Securityholder Representative and the

-31-

Management Representative will cooperate to make commensurate changes to the milestones and scope of the First Earnout, the Second Earnout and the Third Earnout, as well as the Fully Loaded Cost amounts set forth on Schedule 2.16. If Parent, the Securityholder Representative and the Management Representative are unable to agree on such commensurate changes, then any party may initiate mediation of the dispute with the assistance of a neutral arbitrator belonging to and under the rules of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. The party requesting the mediation shall arrange for mediation services, subject to the approval of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Mediation shall take place in Santa Clara County, California during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. Mediation may be scheduled to begin at any time, but with at least 10 Business Days’ written notice to all parties. If one party initiates mediation, then all parties (A) shall participate in the mediation in good faith and shall devote reasonable time and energy to the mediation so as to promptly resolve the dispute or conclude that they cannot resolve the dispute; and (B) shall not pursue other remedies while such mediation is proceeding. The mediator shall also make a determination as how the costs of the mediation should be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative and the Management Representative (in each case, on behalf of the Company Securityholders), on the other hand. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation (and, if applicable, mediation) after a reasonable period of time, then any party may demand arbitration of the differences between the parties related to this Section 2.16(e)(vii), and the final changes to the milestones and scope of the First Earnout, the Second Earnout and the Third Earnout, as well as the Fully Loaded Cost amounts set forth on Schedule 2.16 will be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration shall take place in Santa Clara County, California in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator chosen by mutual agreement of Parent, the Securityholder Representative and the Management Representative. Alternatively, at the request of any party before the commencement of arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by three independent arbitrators, none of whom shall have any competitive interests with Parent the Securityholder Representative and the Management Representative. Parent, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative and the Management Representative, on the other hand, shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. In any such arbitration, each party shall be limited to calling a total of three witnesses, both for purposes of deposition and the arbitration hearing. Subject to the foregoing limitation on the number of witnesses, the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions for discovery abuses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the changes to the milestones and scope of the First Earnout, the Second Earnout and the Third Earnout, as well as the Fully Loaded Cost amounts set forth on Schedule 2.16, shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Company Securityholders, and, if necessary, may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction by suit on the decision or in any other matter provided by applicable Law. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions that shall set forth the determination of the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall also make a determination as how the costs of the arbitration should be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative and the Management Representative (in each case, on behalf of the Company Securityholders), on the other hand, and each party waives its right to seek an order compelling the other party to pay its portion of its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) for any arbitration.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have taken or failed to take any action (including failure to disclose any information) that would limit the validity, scope or enforceability of any Patents that are Company Intellectual Property. All necessary documents and certificates currently due for filing as of the date of this Agreement in connection with such Company Registered Intellectual Property have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other Governmental Entities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be, for the purposes of maintaining such Registered Intellectual Property.

The Company and its Subsidiaries exclusively own, and, following the Closing, Parent and its Subsidiaries will exclusively own, all right, title and interest to all Company Intellectual Property, including all Company Registered Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets, free and clear of any Liens, except for Permitted Liens. To the extent that any Intellectual Property has been developed, supported or created independently or jointly by any Person other than the Company or its Subsidiaries for which the Company or such Subsidiary has, directly or indirectly, provided consideration for such development or creation, the Company or such Subsidiary has a written agreement with such Person with respect thereto, and the Company or such Subsidiary thereby has obtained a valid and enforceable assignment sufficient to transfer all right, title and ownership (including the right to seek past and future damages) of, and is the exclusive owner of, all such Intellectual Property Rights therein by operation of law or by valid assignment, and has obtained the waiver of all non-assignable rights, including all Moral Rights, as applicable.

No Company Intellectual Property or Company Product is subject to any proceeding or outstanding decree, order, judgment or settlement agreement or stipulation that restricts in any manner the use, provision, transfer, assignment or licensing thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or that may affect the validity, use or enforceability of such Company Intellectual Property.

Section 3.11(g)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule lists all Contracts to which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is a party under which Company or such Subsidiary grants any third Person license or other rights in or to any Intellectual Property (collectively, “Out-Licenses”), other than non-exclusive licenses for the sale or license of Company Products pursuant to written agreements in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice that do not differ in substance from the Company’s standard form(s), which have been made available to Parent.

The operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the design, development, use, import, export, branding, advertising, promotion, marketing, manufacture and sale of any Company Product, has not violated and will not, to the extent conducted by Parent or its Affiliates following the Closing in the same manner as currently conducted or currently proposed by the Company to be conducted (including pursuant to the Operating Plan), violate any right of any Person (including any right to privacy or publicity) or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received notice from any Person claiming that such operation or any act, Company Product or Intellectual Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries conflicts with, infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property Rights of any Person or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction (nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, is there any basis therefor). The Company and its Subsidiaries have not obtained or sought any studies, reports or analyses with respect to actual or potential Patent coverage, freedom to operate, Patent infringement or otherwise with respect to any Patents of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any third Person, including opinions of counsel or reports of other advisors.

(i) Non-Infringement of Company IP. To the Knowledge of the Company, no Person is infringing or misappropriating any material Company Intellectual Property.

(j) Effects of the Transaction. Neither this Agreement, the Merger nor any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, including the assignment to Parent by operation of law or otherwise of any Contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, will result in Parent or any of its

-47-

Affiliates (i) granting to any third Person any right to or with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights owned by, or licensed to, any of them; (ii) being bound by, or subject to, any non-compete or other material restriction on the operation or scope of their respective businesses; or (iii) being obligated to pay any royalties or other material amounts, or offer any discounts, to any third Person in excess of those payable by, or required to be offered by, any of them, respectively, in the absence of this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to protect the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ rights in confidential information and trade secrets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or provided by any other Person to the Company or its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has maintained, and enforces, a policy requiring each Employee to execute a valid and enforceable proprietary information, confidentiality and assignment agreement sufficient to irrevocably assign (except as limited by applicable Law) any Intellectual Property developed by such employee for the Company or such Subsidiary to the Company or such Subsidiary, substantially in the standard form for employees (a copy of which is has been made available to Parent) (the “Employee Proprietary Information Agreement”); (ii) the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has maintained, and enforces, a policy requiring each consultant or contractor to execute a valid and enforceable consulting agreement containing proprietary information, confidentiality and assignment provisions sufficient to irrevocably assign (except as limited by applicable Law) any Intellectual Property developed by such consultant for the Company or such Subsidiary to the Company or such Subsidiary, substantially in the standard form for consultants or contractors (a copy of which has been made available to Parent) (the “Consultant Proprietary Information Agreement”); and (iii) all Employees who have developed or contributed to any Company Intellectual Property have executed an Employee Proprietary Information Agreement or a Consultant Proprietary Information Agreement, as appropriate, without any exclusions or exceptions that would prevent the assignment of such developed or contributed Intellectual Property to the Company or its Subsidiaries. All Employees whose employment relationships are or were governed by Laws in countries that recognize Moral Rights have executed written agreements with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that waive, for the benefit of the Company or such Subsidiary, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all Moral Rights in any works of authorship relating to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. No Employees have retained or are entitled to any rights in any Intellectual Property developed by such Employee for the Company or any of its Affiliates, including any license rights or economic interests, and no payments are due and no such Employee has any rights to receive any payments with respect to such Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of the Company, no current Employee is obligated under any agreement, subject to any judgment, decree or order of any Governmental Entity or any similar restriction that would materially interfere with the use of his or her efforts to carry out his or her duties for the Company and its Subsidiaries, or to promote the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries in their current businesses, or that would conflict with such businesses in a material manner.

(l) Government and University Funding. No government funding, facilities or resources of a university, college, other educational institution or research center or funding from third Persons was used in the development of the Company Intellectual Property. No Governmental Entity, university, college, other educational institution or research center has any valid claim or right in or to the Company Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of the Company, no Employee who was involved in, or who contributed to, the creation or development of any Company Intellectual Property has performed services for any government, university, college or other educational institution, or research center during a period of time during which such Employee was also performing services for the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

committed, nor is it obligated or bound, to grant licenses of any current or future Company Intellectual Property to any third Person as a result of any such membership or participation. None of the Company Products require a license with respect to any industry standards.

The Company and its Subsidiaries have not used any Open Source Software in any manner that requires or purports to require (including as a condition of use, modification or distribution of such Open Source Software) that all or any part of any Company Product or that other Software incorporated into, derived from or distributed with such Open Source Software be (A) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (B) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (C) redistributable at no charge or with any restriction on the consideration charged therefor.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation to warrant, indemnify, reimburse or hold harmless any customer with respect to the infringement or misappropriation of the Intellectual Property Rights of any third Person or with respect to any Company Product (i) that materially differs in substance from such obligation in the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ standard form of end-user license agreement (a copy of which has been made available to Parent); or (ii) for which the maximum liability of Company and its Subsidiaries exceeds the amounts paid to Company and its Subsidiaries under the Contract containing such obligation.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (a) take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to satisfy all of the conditions to the obligations of the other parties hereto and to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in the most expeditious manner practicable; (b) obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals of any Governmental Entity with respect to the consummation of the Merger; and (c) effect all necessary registrations and filings with any Governmental Entity to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the purpose of securing to the parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to agree to (i) any license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or properties of Parent, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or of the Company; (ii) the imposition of any limitation on the ability of Parent, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the Company to conduct their respective businesses or own any capital stock or assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of their respective businesses and, in the case of Parent, the businesses of the Company; or (iii) the imposition of any impediment on Parent, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the Company under any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, order or other legal restraint governing competition, monopolies or restrictive trade practices (any such action described in (i), (ii) or (iii), an “Action of Divestiture”). Nothing herein shall require Parent to litigate with any Governmental Entity.

6.7 Contract Consents, Amendments and Terminations. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents, waivers and approvals of any parties to any Contract (including those listed on Schedule 6.7 and Schedule 7.2(e)(i)) as are required thereunder in connection with the Merger or for any such Contracts to remain in full force and effect, including those consents, waivers and approvals of any parties to any Contract listed on Schedule 6.7 and Schedule 7.2(e)(i); (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to modify each of the agreements listed on Schedule 7.2(e)(ii) in the manner set forth therein effective as of and contingent upon the Closing so that the required modifications are in effect immediately following the Effective Time; (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate each of the agreements listed on Schedule 7.2(e)(iii) effective as of and contingent upon the Closing, including sending all required notices, such that each such agreement shall be of no further force or effect immediately following the Effective Time; (d) send each of the notices set forth in Schedule 7.2(e)(iv) and any other notices required under any Contract in connection with the Merger promptly following the date of this Agreement. Such requests for consents, waivers, approvals, modifications, terminations or notices shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, and Parent shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the foregoing. In the event that the other parties to any such Contract, including a lessor or licensor of any Leased Real Property, conditions its grant of a consent, modification, waiver, termination or approval (including by threatening to exercise a “recapture” or other termination right) upon, or otherwise requires in response to a notice or consent, modification or termination

-74-

request regarding the Merger, the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration, including increased rent payments or other payments under the Contract or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), the Company shall be responsible for making all such payments (the “Consent and Modification Fees”). Prior to or in connection with the Closing, the Company shall pay (using the Company’s cash) (i) all Consent and Modification Fees; and (ii) all change of control, bonus, severance or other similar payments that are or will be incurred by the Company, Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Final Surviving Entity with respect to Employees as of the Effective Time as a result of the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any Transaction Payroll Taxes related to the amounts in this clause (ii) (the items in clause (i) and (ii), the “Change of Control Fees”). In the event that the Merger does not close for any reason other than the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(g), Parent shall not have any liability to the Company, the Company Securityholders or any other Person for any costs, claims, liabilities or damages resulting from the Company seeking to obtain such consents, waivers, approvals, modifications or terminations or providing such notices.

6.8 Expenses and Fees.

(a) Payment. If the First Step Merger is consummated, all fees and expenses incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the First Step Merger, including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Third Party Expenses”), shall be the obligation of the Company. The Company shall provide Parent with a statement of Estimated Third Party Expenses and an estimate of all Change of Control Fees showing in reasonable detail both the paid and unpaid Third Party Expenses and Change of Control Fees incurred by the Company as of the Closing Date (or anticipated to be incurred or payable by the Company after the Closing Date) (the “Statement of Expenses”) at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and on the Closing Date the Statement of Expenses shall be certified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer as true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date. The Company shall pay (using the Company’s cash) all Third Party Expenses and any Change of Control Fees on or prior to the Closing Date, or, if not so paid, shall be paid by Parent at the Closing (in which case such Third Party Expenses or Change of Control Fees that are paid by Parent will, without duplication, be included as liabilities in the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital). Any Third Party Expenses or Change of Control Fees that are not reflected on the Statement of Expenses and not otherwise accounted for in the calculation of the Base Closing Merger Consideration Amount (“Excess Expenses and Fees”) may be paid out of the Escrow Fund, and Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to make such payment to Parent.

(b) Non-consummation. If the First Step Merger is not consummated, each party hereto shall pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith, and neither party shall be liable to the other party for any costs or expenses incurred in connection herewith.

6.9 280G Approval. The Company shall promptly, submit to the Company Stockholders for approval by the requisite vote (in a manner satisfactory to Parent), by such number of the Company Stockholders as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, any payments or benefits that may, separately or in the aggregate, constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Section 280G Payments”) (which determination shall be made by the Company and shall be subject to review and approval by Parent), such that all such payments and benefits shall not be deemed to be Section 280G Payments, and prior to the Effective Time the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent that, as to any such Section 280G Payments, a vote of the Company Stockholders was solicited in conformance with Section 280G and the regulations promulgated thereunder and either (a) that such requisite stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any Section 280G Payment (the “280G

-75-

Approval”); or (b) that the 280G Approval was not obtained with respect to any Section 280G Payment and, as a consequence, that such payments or benefits shall not be made or provided to the extent they would cause any amounts to constitute Section 280G Payments, pursuant to the 280G Waivers, which were executed by the affected individuals prior to the vote of the stockholders of the Company.

6.10 Pre-Closing Employee Matters.

(a) Existing Employees. The Company shall cause each Continuing Employee listed on Schedule 6.10(a) to execute a proprietary information agreement reasonably acceptable to Parent with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that is enforceable and effective as of such employee’s first date of employment or service.

(b) New Employees and Contractors. Each person who becomes an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing shall be required by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to enter into and execute a proprietary information agreement reasonably acceptable to Parent with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that is enforceable and effective as of such employee’s first date of employment or service. Each Person who becomes a consultant or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing shall be required by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to enter into and execute, a proprietary information agreement with the Company enforceable and effective as of such consultant or contractor’s first date of service.

(c) Resignation Letter. The Company shall, prior to the Closing, cause each officer and director of the Company and its Subsidiaries to execute a resignation and release letter in substantially the form attached as Exhibit H (the “Director and Officer Resignation and Release Letter”), effective as of the Effective Time.

(d) Severance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall, prior to the Closing, pay in full all severance obligations that are required to be paid under applicable Law to any Employee who has been terminated prior to the Closing.

6.11 Post-Closing Employee Matters. Parent or its Affiliates may offer certain U.S. Employees, including the Key Employees, employment by Parent, one of its Subsidiaries, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Final Surviving Entity as a Continuing Employee, to be effective as of the Closing Date, upon proof of a legal right to work in the United States (such employees offered such employment, the “Offered Employees”). Such employment will: (a) be set forth in offer letters on Parent’s standard form; (b) be subject to and in compliance with Parent’s applicable policies and procedures, including employment background checks and the execution of Parent’s employee proprietary information agreement governing employment conduct and performance; (c) have terms, including the position and salary, that will be determined by Parent; (d) include, if applicable, a waiver by the Employee of any future equity-based compensation to which such Employee may otherwise have been entitled; and (e) supersede any prior express or implied employment agreements, arrangement or offer letter in effect prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the offers provided to the Offered Employees shall provide for terms and conditions that maintain substantially (i) the aggregate economic value of the total cash compensation (including base salary, base hourly wage, target bonus and other cash-based incentive payments, but excluding equity compensation) of each Continuing Employee; and (ii) the aggregate economic value of the benefits under the employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements for the benefit of such Continuing Employee and his or her dependents and beneficiaries, in each case as provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time so as to not implement any substantial aggregate reduction in the value of compensation, benefits, rights or entitlements during such period (the “Offered Terms”) and, following the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliate who is employing such Continuing Employee to maintain such Offered Terms. After the Effective Time, nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall prohibit Parent or its Affiliates from reducing or

-76-

otherwise modifying any component of compensation or benefits of any Continuing Employee. Effective as of, and following, the Closing, to the extent permitted or required by applicable Law, Parent or one of its Affiliates will cause any employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements in which any Continuing Employee participates that is a health or welfare benefit plan (collectively, “Parent Welfare Plans”) to (A) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, requirements for insurability, exclusions and service conditions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents); (B) honor any payments, charges and expenses of such Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) that were applied toward the deductible and out-of-pocket maximums under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in satisfying any applicable deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums or co-payments under a corresponding Parent Welfare Plan during the same plan year in which such payments, charges and expenses were made; and (C) with respect to any medical plan, waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee following the Closing. No Continuing Employee or other Employee, including any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any other Person that is not a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to assert any claim hereunder and nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting the power of Parent or its Affiliates to amend or terminate any particular employee benefit plan, program, agreement or policy, or interpreted as requiring the Company or Parent or any of their Affiliates to continue the employment of any Continuing Employee for any period of time.

6.12 Termination of Certain Benefit Plans.

(a) 401(k) Plan. Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company and any ERISA Affiliate shall terminate any and all group severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements and any and all Company Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “401(k) Plan”) (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company no later than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date that such 401(k) plans shall not be terminated). Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plans have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or such ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plans as Parent may reasonably require. In the event that termination of a 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees, then such charges or fees shall be included in Third Party Expenses and shall be the responsibility of the Company, and the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than seven Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) PEO Arrangement. The Company shall terminate its services agreement with TriNet, Inc. (the “PEO Arrangement”), effective as of the Closing Date. The Company shall ensure that all employee benefits under the PEO Arrangement shall continue to be provided to Continuing Employees through the Closing Date. Parent shall have received from the Company evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that the PEO Arrangement has been timely and properly terminated in accordance with this Section 6.12(b) pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors of the Company and any other appropriate entity. Any termination fee or similar expense resulting from the termination of the PEO Arrangement shall be borne solely by the Company, and no such fee or expense shall be borne by the Employees or by Parent.

6.13 Agreements and Documents Delivered at Signing or Immediately Following Signing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each agreement and document that was executed by any Person and delivered to Parent prior to, contemporaneously with, or immediately following, the execution of this Agreement, as the case may be, to remain in full force and effect through the Closing Date.

Any sales, use, value-added, goods and services, gross receipts, excise, registration, recording, conveyance, stamp, duty, transfer and other similar Taxes and governmental fees imposed or levied by reason of, in connection with or attributable to, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be 50% the responsibility of the Company Securityholders and 50% the responsibility of Parent. The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other to the extent reasonably requested and legally permitted to minimize any such Transfer Taxes. The party required by applicable Law to file any Return with respect to Transfer Taxes shall do so in the time and manner prescribed by applicable Law, subject to the other party’s right to be reimbursed for such Transfer Taxes.

third party providers of Tax services (each a “Tax Service Provider”) that have been engaged by the Company within the last four years, together with an executed notice addressed to each such Tax Service Provider permitting such Tax Service Provider to disclose to Parent and its agents confidential information relating to the Taxes of the Company.

(f) Intended Tax Treatment. The parties intend the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code. Each party and its Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns consistent with, and take no Tax position inconsistent with, such treatment.

6.21 Repayment of Company Indebtedness. Parent shall be entitled to recover the amount of any and all Closing Indebtedness to the extent that such Closing Indebtedness is not paid in full and finally discharged by the Company (or is paid by Parent on the Company’s behalf) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by reducing the Base Closing Merger Consideration Amount by the amount of any such unpaid Closing Indebtedness (or the amount of any such Closing Indebtedness paid by Parent on the Company’s behalf).

-80-

instructions; (b) evidencing that the payment of such amount would result in the full repayment, satisfaction, release, and discharge of all current and future obligations of the Company (and, in the case of hedging, swap or similar agreements, the complete unwind and settlement of such arrangements) in respect of such item (except obligations for indemnification and reimbursement that expressly survive repayment in full) and of all current and future Liens relating to such item; and (c) contemplating the delivery of UCC-3 termination statements and mortgage releases that when filed or recorded, as the case may be, will be sufficient to release any and all Liens relating to such item.

The foregoing shall not in any way limit any Company Indemnitee’s rights to coverage under the Tail Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall have no obligation to maintain the existence of the Interim Surviving Entity or the Final Surviving Entity for any specified period following the Effective Time.

(b) Tail Policy. The Company shall purchase prior to or concurrent with the Closing a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability policy or policies (the “Tail Policy”) that will remain in effect until the six year anniversary of the Effective Time the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are comparable to those of the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy; provided, however, that to the extent any payments with respect to such Tail Policy have not been made by the Company prior to or concurrent with the Closing, then such payments shall be deemed Third Party Expenses or Excess Expenses and Fees, as the case may be.

6.24 Further Assurances. Each party hereto, at the request of another party hereto, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Interim Surviving Entity and, after the Second Step Merger, the Final Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, then Parent, Merger Subs, and the officers and directors of the Company, Parent and Merger Subs are fully authorized, in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise, to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

(b) To the extent that the Spreadsheet reflects, with respect to any Convertible Note, that accrued interest (including any amounts treated as interest for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) is exempt from withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate, the Company shall provide, or cause the holders of such Convertible Notes to provide, at least seven Business Days prior to the Closing Date, all required Tax forms in connection with such exemption or reduction, including IRS Forms W-9, from any such holder that is a U.S. person, and the appropriate series of IRS Forms W-8 from any such holder that is not a U.S. person (and all supporting documentation, such as IRS Form W-8IMY and the underlying Forms W-8BEN, W-8BENE and W-9 of the beneficial owners of such Convertible Notes) and any similar information (the “Tax Forms”). In the absence of such Tax Forms, the Company, Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity, the Final Surviving Entity and the Escrow Agent shall withhold at the statutory rate of 30% against any amount determined by Parent to constitute interest for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

-90-

(f) Non-reliance.

Following the payment of an Earnout Payment, if Parent reasonably determines that one or more future Earnout Payments will not be made, then Parent may recover any Loss owed to any Indemnified Party by recovery of the applicable portion of such paid Earnout Payment (but subject in all cases to the limitations contained in this Section 8.3 and only after the Escrow Fund is first depleted).

8.4 Indemnification Claims Procedures.

(a) Making a Claim for Indemnification; Claim Certificate. If an Indemnified Party believes that it has or may acquire a right to indemnification under this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party may make an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a) by delivering a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Securityholder Representative, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Losses described in the Claim Certificate are recoverable by seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund), or to one or more Indemnifying Parties (if and only to the extent that the Losses described in the Claim Certificate are recoverable by seeking recourse directly against any such Indemnifying Party), (i) stating that such Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, suffered or incurred (or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, suffer or incur) Losses; and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail, to the extent known, the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date that each such item was paid, sustained, suffered or incurred, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the Indemnifiable Matter to which such item is related; provided, however, that the Claim Certificate need only specify such information to the knowledge of such Indemnified Party as of the Claim Date, shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party and may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Party by delivering an updated or amended Claim Certificate to the Securityholder Representative or applicable Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Losses described in the Claim Certificate are recoverable by seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund). The date of delivery of a Claim Certificate is referred to herein as the “Claim Date” of such Claim Certificate (and the claims for indemnification set forth therein).

(b) Objecting a Claim for Indemnification; Objection Notice.

(i) Following its receipt of a Claim Certificate, the Securityholder Representative (or in the case of a claim directly against one or more Indemnifying Parties, such Indemnifying Parties) may object to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth therein by delivering written notice thereof (an “Objection Notice”) to the Indemnified Party submitting such Claim Certificate at the addresses

-91-

of such Indemnified Party set forth in such Claim Certificate, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Losses described in the Claim Certificate are recoverable only by seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund); provided, however, that to be effective such Objection Notice must (i) be delivered to the Indemnified Party (and, in the case of a claim for recourse against the Escrow Fund, to the Escrow Agent) prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the 30th day following the Claim Date of the Claim Certificate (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline”); and (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in the Claim Certificate in respect of which the objection is made.

(ii) If the Securityholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if indemnification is validly being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) does not object as provided in Section 8.4(b)(i) to any item or amount set forth in an Claim Certificate prior to the Objection Deadline for such Claim Certificate, then such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgement by the Securityholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if indemnification is being validly sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claims for Losses set forth in such Claim Certificate (and such entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established) with respect to the Indemnifying Party against whom indemnification has been sought (any such claim, an “Unobjected Claim”).

(iii) With respect to an Unobjected Claim against the Escrow Fund, promptly following the Objection Deadline for the Claim Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Escrow Fund and deliver to any Indemnified Party that has previously delivered such Claim Certificate an amount equal to the amount of Losses set forth in such Unobjected Claim (not to exceed the amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund). With respect to an Unobjected Claim for which the Indemnifying Party is directly liable beyond the amount of the Escrow Fund, Parent shall first exercise its right of offset contained in Section 8.3(g) and thereafter, if and to the extent that the Losses included in the Unobjected Claim are not covered in full by such recovery, then within 30 days of a claim becoming an Unobjected Claim, the applicable Indemnifying Party shall make the applicable payment to such Indemnified Party, subject to the limitations contained in Section 8.3 and Section 8.6.

(c) Procedure Following an Objection. If the Securityholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, if indemnification is being validly sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) does object as provided in Section 8.4(b) to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth in any Claim Certificate, then the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) Resolution of Conflicts.

(i) If the Securityholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party, in the case of a claim for indemnification validly sought directly from an Indemnifying Party) timely delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 8.4(b)(i), then the Securityholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and Parent (for itself and on behalf of any other Indemnified Party) shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties to resolve the objections in the Objection Notice with respect to each such claim. Either the Securityholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and Parent may, but shall not be obligated to, initiate non-binding mediation of the dispute with the assistance of a neutral arbitrator belonging to and under the rules of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. The party requesting the mediation shall arrange for mediation services, subject to the

-92-

approval of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Mediation shall take place in Santa Clara County, California during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. Mediation may be scheduled to begin at any time, but with at least 10 Business Days’ written notice to all parties. If one party initiates mediation, the parties (A) shall participate in the mediation in good faith and shall devote reasonable time and energy to the mediation so as to promptly resolve the dispute or conclude that they cannot resolve the dispute; and (B) shall not pursue other remedies while such mediation is proceeding. If the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and Parent reach an agreement, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) and the Indemnified Party and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent and, in the case of a claim directly against the Indemnifying Parties, to the Indemnifying Parties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

(ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation (and, if applicable, mediation) prior to 90 days following the date an Objection Notice is deemed properly delivered, given and received pursuant to Section 10.1, either Parent or the Securityholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) may bring suit in the courts identified in Section 10.7 to resolve the matter. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and the Escrow Agent shall distribute the amounts from the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

8.5 Third-Party Claims. In the event that any Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) that such Indemnified Party in good faith believes may result in a claim for indemnification, such Indemnified Party shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Securityholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is validly being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of such claim. The failure to so notify the Securityholder Representative (or such Indemnifying Party, if applicable) of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability in connection therewith only if and to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Parties to defend their interests in such Third Party Claim. The Securityholder Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Indemnifying Party (or, in the event indemnification is being validly sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled), at its or their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of, or settlement negotiations with respect to, such Third Party Claim. The Securityholder Representative or the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to the other party and the Indemnified Party shall keep the other party reasonably informed and updated as to the status of the Third Party Claim at all times pending resolution thereof. The Indemnified Party shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that except with the written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Securityholder Representative (or, in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party), no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of (i) the amount of Losses relating to such matter; or (ii) unless otherwise previously agreed in writing by the Securityholder Representative or the Indemnifying Party, the existence of an Indemnifiable Matter. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if there is a Third Party Claim that, if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses, then any amounts paid, sustained, suffered or reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in defense of such Third Party Claim, regardless of the outcome of such claim, shall be deemed to be Losses. In the event that the Securityholder Representative has consented to any such settlement with respect to an Indemnifiable Matter under Section 8.2(a), then the Indemnifying Parties shall have no power or

-93-

authority to object under any provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Parties against the Escrow Fund or against the Indemnifying Parties directly, as the case may be, with respect to such settlement.

8.6 Escrow Arrangements.

(a) Escrow Fund. By virtue of this Agreement and as partial security for the Indemnified Parties under Section 8.2(a), at the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount without any act of the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with Section 2.10(a). Such deposit of the Escrow Amount will constitute an escrow fund (together with any interest accrued thereon, the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed by the terms set forth herein. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any claims for any Losses paid, sustained, suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VIII. The Escrow Agent may execute this Agreement following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, and such later execution shall not affect the binding nature of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement between the other parties hereto.

(b) Distribution of the Escrow Fund.

(i) Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 11:59 p.m., Pacific time, on the Survival Date (such period, the “Escrow Period”).

(ii) Within three Business Days following the end of the Escrow Period, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute any Parent Common Stock remaining in the Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions following such termination as provided in Section 8.6(b)(iii); provided, however, that the Escrow Fund shall not terminate, and the Escrow Agent shall not disburse any shares of Parent Common Stock from the Escrow Fund with respect to any amount in respect of any unsatisfied claims specified in any Claim Certificate delivered prior to any applicable disbursement date or termination date (“Unresolved Claims”) with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to such disbursement date or termination date or the Survival Date, and any such amount shall not be distributed to the Indemnifying Parties at such time.

(iii) As soon as all Unresolved Claims have been resolved, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund, if any, not required to satisfy such Unresolved Claims (A) first, to the Securityholder Representative for any Securityholder Representative Expenses; and (B) second, to the Indemnifying Parties. Deliveries of shares of Parent Common Stock out of the Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be made in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portions of the remaining amounts in the Escrow Fund, with the amount delivered to each Company Securityholder rounded down to the nearest share of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any property in the Escrow Fund deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Securityholder such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law or under any applicable legal requirement. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(iv) For purposes of this Agreement, the amount of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund to be paid to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any Losses, if any, shall equal the applicable amount of the Losses divided by the Closing Price (rounded down to the nearest whole share).

-94-

(i) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat such funds as trust funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII and Section 2.10.

(ii) Parent and the Escrow Agent will cooperate to maintain an appropriate ledger of the shares of Parent Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund and the applicable Company Securityholder to which those shares are allocated. The Escrow Agent will be shown as the registered owner of all shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund on the certificate(s) evidencing such shares (if such shares are certificated) and on the books and records of Parent, but the applicable Company Securityholders will have all rights with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund during the period of time in which such shares have not been transferred or repurchased (including the right to instruct the Escrow Agent how to vote such shares and the right to receive on a current basis any cash dividends or other distributions made with respect to such shares), except the right of possession or transfer thereof. The parties hereto agree that the applicable Company Securityholder is the owner of such shares issued to such Company Securityholder pursuant to this Agreement and held by the Escrow Agent.

(iii) Each of Parent and, prior to the Closing, the Company and, after the Closing, the Securityholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Indemnifying Party to provide to the Escrow Agent any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable (which must be originally executed), or any similar form requested by the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall rely upon (and obtain copies from Parent as necessary, to the extent that Parent has received such forms prior to the Closing) all tax forms used and collected by Parent in connection with Closing payments pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii).

(iv) The Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities. The Company hereby represent and warrants to the Escrow Agent that (A) there is no sale or transfer of a United States Real Property Interest as defined under IRC Section 897(c) in the underlying transaction giving rise to this Agreement; and (B) except as provided in the Spreadsheet, no Indemnifying Party is subject to withholding on payments made in connection with the Merger, other than backup withholding on failure to provide any required tax documentation. The Indemnifying Parties agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from any liability or obligation on account of taxes, assessments, additions for late payment, interest, penalties, expenses and other governmental charges that may be assessed or asserted against the Escrow Agent in connection with or relating to any payment made or other activities performed under the terms of this Agreement, including any liability for the withholding or deduction of (or the failure to withhold or deduct) the same, and any liability for failure to obtain proper certifications or to report properly to governmental authorities in connection with this Agreement, including costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), interest and penalties, except to the extent such amounts relate to the Escrow Agent’s fraud or gross negligence, failure to withhold, or failure to perform any backup withholding. The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Escrow Agent’s Duties.

(i) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and as set forth in any additional written escrow instructions which the Escrow Agent may receive after the date of this Agreement that are signed by an officer of Parent, and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

-95-

(ii) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other Person, excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court, awards of arbitrators and written instructions of Parent. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, award of arbitrator or instructions, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other Person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment, decree or award being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

(iii) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.

(iv) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.

(v) In performing any duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for damages, losses or expenses, except as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability for (A) any act or failure to act made or omitted in good faith; or (B) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement or affidavit provided for in this Agreement that the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, nor will the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible for forgeries, fraud, impersonations, or determining the scope of any representative authority. In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel in connection with performing the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by him/her in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining and verifying the authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement.

(vi) If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and the Escrow Fund and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, may be required, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and the Escrow Amounts held in escrow, except all costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action (the “Agent Interpleader Expenses”) and that the parties agree to pay as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties on the basis of the Indemnifying Parties’ respective Pro Rata Portions; provided, however, that in the event any Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses, then Parent may at its option pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses and recover an amount equal from such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.

(vii) Parent and the Indemnifying Parties and their respective successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, including

-96-

allocated costs of in house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter, other than those arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent (the “Agent Indemnification Expenses”) as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid out of the Escrow Fund.

(viii) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least 30 days written notice to Parent and the Securityholder Representative; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent by Parent (which appointment shall be subject to the reasonable consent of the Securityholder Representative). The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment, and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent. Upon appointment of a successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.

(e) Fees. Parent shall pay all initial setup and ongoing maintenance fees of the Escrow Agent for performance of its duties hereunder in accordance with the standard fee schedule of the Escrow Agent. It is understood that the fees and usual charges agreed upon for services of the Escrow Agent shall be considered compensation for ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that (i) the conditions of this Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, (ii) the Escrow Agent renders any service not provided for in this Agreement but that has been requested by an officer of Parent, (iii) the parties request a substantial modification of the terms of this Agreement or (iv) any controversy arises, or if the Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to the Escrow Fund or its subject matter, then the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs, attorney’s fees, including allocated costs of in house counsel, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation.

(f) Successor Escrow Agents. Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.

8.7 Securityholder Representative.

(a) Terms of Appointment. By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the approval of the First Step Merger by the Indemnifying Parties, each of the Indemnifying Parties shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint the Securityholder Representative as his, her or its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Securityholder Representative with full power and authority to act for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a), to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and request mediation as provided in this Agreement and comply with orders of courts and awards of mediators with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and request mediation and comply with orders of courts and awards of mediators with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party against any Indemnifying Party or by any such Indemnifying Party against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Indemnifying Party, to authorize the sale of all of the shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund and deliver an Escrow Sale Instruction Letter to the Escrow Agent, and to execute all documents necessary or appropriate in the sole opinion of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case relating to

-97-

this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. The Securityholder Representative may resign at any time. Such agency may be changed by the Indemnifying Parties from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Securityholder Representative may be filled by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Representative. After the Closing, notices or communications to or from the Securityholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Indemnifying Parties.

(b) Securityholder Representative Expenses. The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Securityholder Representative while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Indemnifying Parties shall severally and not jointly indemnify the Securityholder Representative and hold the Securityholder Representative harmless against any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs or expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and all expenses with respect to document location, duplication and shipment) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Securityholder Representative (collectively, “Securityholder Representative Expenses”), in each case as such Securityholder Representative Expense is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Securityholder Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Securityholder Representative Expenses to the extent attributable to such bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholder Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, any such Securityholder Representative Expenses shall be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from if then available after satisfaction of all claims of an Indemnified Party, the amounts in the Escrow Fund prior to any distribution thereof to the Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that while the Securityholder Representative Expenses may be paid from the Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Securityholder Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance his own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or otherwise. The Indemnifying Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3 and Section 9.4, shall constitute a decision of the Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Indemnifying Parties, and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Indemnifying Parties. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative.

(c) Expense Fund. At the Closing, the Company will wire transfer to the Securityholder Representative an amount equal to $200,000 (the “Expense Fund”), which the Securityholder Representative will use solely for the purpose of paying directly, or reimbursing the Securityholder Representative for, any third party expenses incurred by the Securityholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement. The Company Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such

-98-

interest or earnings. The Securityholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of his gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative will hold the funds in the Expense Fund separate from his other funds, will not use such funds for his operating expenses or any other purposes and will not voluntarily make the Expense Fund available to his creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Contemporaneous with or as soon as practicable following the release in full of the Escrow Fund, the Securityholder Representative will deliver the balance of the Expense Fund to Parent (or such other entity selected by Parent) for further distribution to the Company Securityholders and among them in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portion. The Expense Fund will be considered a Third Party Expense.

9.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Parent and Merger Subs, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, and at any time following the Effective Time, Parent and the Company, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative, on the other hand, may, to the extent legally permitted, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party set forth herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party set forth herein.

For purposes of this Section 9.4, the Indemnifying Parties agree that any extension or waiver signed by the Securityholder Representative shall be binding upon and effective against all Indemnifying Parties whether or not they have signed such extension or waiver. No delay or failure by any party hereto to assert any of its rights or remedies shall constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies.

10.2 Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement and any amendments may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to email (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto shall raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

10.3 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior Contracts among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; (b) are not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, other than (i) as set forth in Section 6.23 and Section 10.11; (ii) the Indemnifying Parties; and (iii) the Indemnified Parties with respect to the rights under Article VIII; and (c) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates so long as Parent remains ultimately liable for all of Parent’s obligations hereunder.

10.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.5 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

10.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware.

10.7 Dispute Resolution. The parties hereto agree that any legal proceeding by or against any party hereto or with respect to or arising out of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in any state or federal court located in New Castle County, Delaware. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to the appellate courts therefrom solely for the purposes of disputes arising under the this Agreement and not as a general

-102-

submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever. The parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder. Any such service of process shall be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. The parties hereto waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process; (b) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts; or (iii) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

10.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

10.9 USA Patriot Act Compliance. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person, the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses and identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the Person or other relevant documentation. The parties hereto each agree to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance with federal law.

10.10 Escrow Security Procedures.

(a) Security Procedures. Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall each deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate naming the officers who have the authority to execute and amend this Agreement. Exhibit K names the authorized representatives who are authorized to provide disbursement instructions with respect to the Escrow Fund, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer or authorized representative. In the event funds transfer instructions are given, whether in writing or by fax, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to one or more of the persons designated in Schedule 10.10 who is different from the person who gave the transfer instruction, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer to Parent may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Parent to identify (i) the beneficiary; (ii) the beneficiary’s bank; or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of the Escrow Fund for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number in a manner consistent with the written instructions from (A) Parent, to the extent that it relates to payments to Parent; or (B) the Securityholder Representative, to the extent that it relates to payments to the Securityholder Representative or the Indemnifying Parties. Parent and the Securityholder Representative each acknowledge that the security procedures set forth in this Section 10.10 are commercially reasonable.

(b) Disbursement to Parent. Unless the Escrow Agent is otherwise instructed in writing by Parent, Parent acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is authorized to use the funds transfer instructions to disburse any funds due to Parent under this Agreement without a verifying call-back as set forth on Exhibit K.

10.11 Representation of Company Securityholders and the Company. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Affiliates, that (a) O’Melveny & Myers LLP (“OMM”) represents and has represented the Company and various of the Company Securityholders in other matters; (b) OMM may serve as counsel to each and any Company Securityholder and its respective Affiliates in the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) following the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, OMM (or any successor) may serve as counsel to any Company Securityholder or to the Securityholder Representative in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby notwithstanding such representation or any continued representation of any Company Securityholder or any of their Affiliates in matters relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and each of the parties hereto (on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective affiliates) consents to the foregoing and irrevocably waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not constitute a waiver by Parent or any of its Affiliates of any conflict arising out of OMM’s representation of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) following the Effective Time. OMM is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 10.11.

10.12 Privileged Information. Parent, for itself, Merger Subs, the Interim Surviving Entity and the Final Surviving Entity and its and their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all attorney-client privileged communications between the Company Stockholders, the Company and counsel to the Company made exclusively in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement that immediately prior to the Closing would be deemed to be privileged communications of the Company Stockholders, the Company or its counsel and would not be subject to disclosure to Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Final Surviving Entity in connection with any process relating to a dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements shall continue after the Closing to be privileged communications with such counsel, and none of Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Final Surviving Entity shall seek to obtain such communications by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such communications belongs to the Company and not the Company Stockholders. Other than as explicitly set forth in this Section 10.12, the parties hereto acknowledge that any attorney-client privilege attaching as a result of counsel representing the Company prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing and continue to be a privilege of the Interim Surviving Entity and the Final Surviving Entity, and not the Company Stockholders, after the Closing.
