16

Closing shall be held is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.  It is anticipated that the Closing will occur on October 1, 2014.

2.3                               Effective Time.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause, on the Closing Date, a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be properly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.  The Merger shall become effective on the date and at the time (the “Effective Time”) of filing of the Certificate of Merger.  If the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware requires any changes in the Certificate of Merger or this Agreement, as a condition to filing or to issuing its certificate to the effect that the Merger is effective, Merger Sub and the Company will execute any necessary revisions incorporating such changes, provided such changes are not inconsistent with and do not result in any material change in the terms of this Agreement.

2.4                               Effect of the Merger.  At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.  In addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time:

(a)                                 General Effect.  All the property, rights, privileges, powers, franchises and assets of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)                                 Certificate of Incorporation.  The certificate of incorporation of Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(c)                                  Bylaws.  The bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(d)                                 Directors.  The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

(e)                                  Officers.  The officers of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

2.5                               Effect of Merger on Company Common Stock and Merger Sub.  As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, the Merger Sub or the Company, the following shall occur:

17

(a)                                 Stock of Merger Sub.  Each share of the Merger Sub’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)                                 Cancellation of Treasury Stock.  Each share of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c)                                  Treatment of Stock.  Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall convert into the right to receive the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, together with any amounts that may become payable in respect of such share of Company Common Stock in the future from the Holdback Amount or in respect of the Post-Closing Adjustment, at the respective times and subject to the contingencies specified herein.  All such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time, and each certificate previously evidencing any such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.5(c).  The holders of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall from and after the Effective Time cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.5(c).

(d)                                 Fractional Shares.  The number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which a Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock are converted pursuant to this Article II shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.  In lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which any Stockholder would otherwise be entitled (after aggregating, for each particular stock certificate representing Company Common Stock, all fractional shares of Company Common Stock to be received by such holder), such Stockholder shall receive from Purchaser an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Purchaser Stock Price.

2.6                               Treatment of Warrants and Corporate Actions.

(a)                                 At the Effective Time, each Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company, the Warrantholder or any other Person, cancelled and each Warrantholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive with respect to In-Money Warrants (i) Closing Merger Consideration, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-Money Warrant, multiplied by (y) the excess of the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such In-

18

Money Warrant, and (ii) any amounts that may become payable in respect of such In-Money Warrant in the future from the Holdback Amount or in respect of the Post-Closing Adjustment, in each case, at the respective times and subject to the contingencies specified herein. After the Effective Time, each Warrantholder shall only be entitled to the payments described in this Section 2.6. For the avoidance of doubt, all Out-of-Money Warrants and Unvested Warrants shall be cancelled and shall not have any right to receive any consideration in respect thereof.

(b)                                 At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions necessary to (i) effectuate the provisions of Section 2.6(a).

(c)                                  Fractional Shares.  The number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which a Warrantholder’s In-Money Warrants are converted pursuant to this Article II shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.  In lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which any Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, such Warrantholder shall receive from Purchaser an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Purchaser Stock Price.

2.7                               Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.5(c), Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such Company Common Stock) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.5(c), without interest thereon. The Company shall provide Purchaser prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Purchaser shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

19

2.8                               Surrender and Payment.

(a)                                 At the Effective Time, all Company Common Stock and all Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and, subject to Section 2.7, each holder of a certificate formerly representing any Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) and each holder of record of a Warrant shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company or a holder of Warrants.

(b)                                 Prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the exchange agent in the Merger.

(c)                                  As promptly as practicable following the date hereof and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of Company Common Stock a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Letter of Transmittal”) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the applicable portion of Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.5(c). No later than the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) subject to Section 2.12, two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Certificate, together with a Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and any other customary documents that the Exchange Agent or Parent may reasonably require in connection therewith, (1) the Exchange Agent shall pay to such Stockholder a cash amount, and (2) Parent shall issue such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 2.5(c) with respect to such Certificate so surrendered and the Certificate shall forthwith be cancelled. Unless otherwise provided herein, no interest shall be paid or shall accrue on consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.5(c). If after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.8.

(d)                                 As promptly as practicable following the date hereof and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall mail to each Warrantholder a Warrant Termination Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B (a “Warrant Termination Agreement”) and instructions for completing, executing and returning such Warrant Termination Agreement in exchange for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a).  No later than the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Warrant Termination Agreement duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and any other customary documents that the Exchange Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith, (i) the Exchange Agent shall pay to such Warrantholder a cash amount, and (ii) the Parent shall issue such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 2.6(a) with respect to the In-Money Warrants in respect of which the Warrant Termination Agreement was delivered. Unless otherwise provided herein, no interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any Merger Consideration payable upon delivery of any Warrant Termination Agreement.

20

(e)                                  Each Stockholder and Warrantholder shall also be entitled to any amounts that may be payable in the future in respect of the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and the cancelled In-Money Warrants from the Holdback Amount as provided in this Agreement and on account of the Post-Closing Adjustment, at the respective time and subject to the contingencies specified herein. Unless otherwise provided herein, no interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of Stockholders or Warrantholders on the Merger Consideration.

(f)                                   If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(g)                                  Each holder of a Certificate or In-Money Warrant who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by this Section 2.8 shall look only to Purchaser (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar applicable Law) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to any portion of the Merger Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Certificate or In-Money Warrant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Certificate or In-Money Warrant has not been surrendered prior to the earlier of the first anniversary of the Effective Time and such date on which the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Certificate or In-Money Warrant would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Body, any amounts payable in respect of such Certificate or In-Money Warrant shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of Purchaser, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h)                                 Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Purchaser, upon demand.

2.9                               No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock And Warrants.  All Merger Consideration paid or payable upon the surrender of Certificates, and all Merger Consideration paid or payable in respect of the Warrants, in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and such Warrants, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II and elsewhere in this Agreement.

21

2.10                        Adjustments.  Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

2.11                        Withholding Rights.  Each of the Exchange Agent, Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax Law; provided that, the Exchange Agent, Purchaser, Merger Sub or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide such Person with notice of such withholding obligation at least three (3) days prior to the withholding of such amounts. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

2.12                        Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Purchaser, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Purchaser may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article II.

2.13                        Working Capital Adjustment.

(a)                                 Closing Adjustment.

(i)                                     At least two (2) Business Days before the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) and a calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”), both prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same methodologies as are set forth on Schedule 2.13.

(ii)                                  The “Estimated Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital minus $-2,000,000 (the “Target Working Capital”).

22

(b)                                 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i)                                     Within 120 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Stockholder Representative a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) and a calculation of Closing Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”), both prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same methodologies as are set forth on Schedule 2.13.

(ii)                                  The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Working Capital.

(c)                                  Examination and Review.

(i)                                     Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Stockholder Representative shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Stockholder Representative and its accountants shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Purchaser and/or its accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Purchaser’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Stockholder Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation.

(ii)                                  Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Stockholder Representative may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Purchaser a written statement setting forth its objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Stockholder Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Stockholder Representative. If Stockholder Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Purchaser and Stockholder Representative, shall be final and binding.

23

(iii)                               Resolution of Disputes. If Stockholder Representative and Purchaser fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of Grassi & Co. or, if Grassi & Co. is unable to serve, Purchaser and Stockholder Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve only the Disputed Amounts and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement.  Any Undisputed Amounts shall be deemed accepted by the parties.  The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and its decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv)                              Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders), on the one hand, and by Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to the Stockholder Representative or Purchaser, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser. Any such fees and expenses payable by the Stockholder Representative shall be payable from the Holdback Amount, subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap.

(v)                                 Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(d)                                 Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i)                                     If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Purchaser shall deduct from the Holdback Amount an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.

(ii)                                  If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Purchaser shall add to the Holdback Amount an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.

24

(e)                                  Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

2.14                        Consideration Spreadsheet.

(a)                                 At least two (2) Business Days before the Closing and concurrently with the delivery of the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”), certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, which shall set forth, as of the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Effective Date, the following:

(i)                                     the names and addresses of all Stockholders and the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Persons based on the books and records of the Company;

(ii)                                  the names and addresses of all Warrantholders, together with the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to Warrants held by such Warrantholders, the grant date, exercise price and vesting schedule for such Warrants;

(iii)                               detailed calculations of the Closing Merger Consideration, Fully Diluted Share Number and Closing Per Share Merger Consideration;

(iv)                              each Stockholder’s and Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share (as a percentage interest and the interest in dollar and share terms) of the Closing Merger Consideration;

(v)                                 each Stockholder’s and Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share (as a percentage interest and the interest in dollar terms) of the Holdback Amount; and

(vi)                              detailed calculations of all Severance Payments.

(b)                                 The parties agree that Purchaser and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely on the Consideration Spreadsheet in making payments under this Agreement and Purchaser and Merger Sub shall not be responsible for the calculations or the determinations regarding such calculations in such Consideration Spreadsheet.

(h)                                 FIRPTA Certificate.  On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date, certifying to the effect that no interest in the Company is a U.S. real property interest (such certificate in the form required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-3(c)) (the “FIRPTA Certificate”).

(i)                                     Section 338(g) Election.  Purchaser may make, or cause to be made, a Section 338(g) election with respect to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if such election is made the Purchaser will not seek indemnification from the Stockholders with respect to any Taxes that may result from such election.

7.14                        SEC Reports; Rule 144.  The Parent covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Parent is not required to file such reports, it will make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act), and it will take any such further action as reasonably requested to the extent required from time to time to enable the Stockholders and Warrantholders to sell Parent Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of a Stockholder or Warrantholder, Parent will deliver to such stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics of any compliance deficits.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 7.14 by Parent if Parent is late in making any required filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act as a result of its audit of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records following Closing.

7.15                        Further Assurances.  Each of Parent, Purchaser, the Company, and the Stockholder Representative shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the

9.2                               Indemnification By Stockholders And Warrantholders.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, the Stockholders and Warrantholders, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares), shall indemnify and defend each of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company and Parent) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Purchaser Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(b)                                 any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company or the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement (other than any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Section 7.11, it being understood that the sole remedy for any such breach, violation or failure shall be pursuant to Section 7.11);

(c)                                  any claim made by any Stockholder or Warrantholder relating to such Person’s rights with respect to the Merger Consideration, or the calculations and determinations set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet;

(d)                                 any amounts paid to the holders of Dissenting Shares, including any interest required to be paid thereon, that are in excess of what such holders would have received hereunder had such holders not been holders of Dissenting Shares;

9.4                               Certain Limitations.  The indemnification provided for in Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)                                 Stockholders and Warrantholders shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.2(a) exceeds $300,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Stockholders and Warrantholders shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.  The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Stockholders and Warrantholders shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.2 shall not exceed the Holdback Amount (the “Cap”).  For purposes of Section 9.2 and this Section 9.4(a), any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty for purposes of determining the amount of Losses.

(b)                                 Purchaser shall not be liable to the Stockholder Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.3 until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.3 exceeds the Basket, in which event Purchaser shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Purchaser shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.3 shall not exceed the Cap.  For purposes of Section 9.3 and this Section 9.4(b), any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in

67

or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty for purposes of determining the amount of Losses.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, liability for acts of fraud by any Person shall be unlimited; provided, however, that any individual Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s aggregate indemnification obligations under this Article IX shall be limited to the lesser of (i) such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s ratable portion of the aggregate indemnification obligations of the Stockholders and Warrantholders as determined in accordance with such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) the aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by such Stockholder under this Agreement; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 9.4(c) or any other provision of this Agreement shall be read to limit a Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s liability for acts of fraud committed by such Stockholder or Warrantholder.

9.5                               Holdback Arrangements.

(a)                                 As provided in Section 9.7(a), the Holdback Amount shall be the sole recourse the Purchaser Indemnitees to satisfy their claims against the Stockholders and Warrantholders for indemnification hereunder.

(b)                                 On the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, if the remaining Holdback Amount exceeds the amount of any Remaining Indemnity Claims, then, subject to Section 9.5(d), Purchaser will deliver to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as determined in accordance with Section 2.8, for distribution to each Stockholder and Warrantholder, all such excess amounts payable to each Stockholder and Warrantholder in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

(c)                                  Purchaser shall retain a portion of the Holdback Amount equal to the amount of each Remaining Indemnity Claim, until the earlier of (i) a resolution of such Remaining Indemnity Claim between Purchaser and the Stockholder Representative and (ii) a final result, determination, finding, judgment and/or award is rendered by an arbitrator with respect to such Remaining Indemnity Claim, after which, and subject to Section 9.5(d), Purchaser will, within five (5) Business Days of such date, release to the Stockholders and Warrantholders an amount equal to the excess of the Holdback Amount retained in connection with such Remaining Indemnity Claim over the actual amount of Losses finally determined in connection with such Remaining Indemnity Claim and shall deliver to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as determined in accordance with Section 2.8, for distribution to each Stockholder and Warrantholder in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

(d)                                 Each amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be subject to any right to setoff expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Letter of Transmittal.

68

9.6                               Indemnification Procedures.

(a)                                 If a Purchaser Indemnitee or Stockholder Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) has suffered, incurred or sustained, or is reasonably likely to suffer, incur or sustain, a Loss, including as a result of a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), for which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification or reimbursement under this Article IX, then such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such Third Party Claim or other Loss not involving a Third Party Claim to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders, or to Purchaser, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim or incurrence of such other Loss, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known and quantifiable) and the basis for indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnification Claim”).  The delay in providing, or failure to provide, such notice of an Indemnification Claim shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay or failure or such notice is not provided on or prior to the Survival Date.

(b)                                 Purchaser shall assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim resulting from, arising out of or relating to any Losses that may be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2 (a “Stockholder Indemnified Third Party Claim”), and the costs of such defense will be indemnifiable Losses in accordance with, and subject to the limitations in, this Article IX.  In connection with such defense, Purchaser shall employ counsel selected by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholder Representative (which consent to counsel shall not be unreasonably withheld).  The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (which consent to counsel shall not be unreasonably withheld) and to participate in (but not control) the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense, and such costs and expenses shall be classified as Representative Expenses and subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap.  In addition, if the Stockholder Representative has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and, in the reasonable judgment of such counsel, it is advisable for the Stockholder Representative to employ separate counsel in order to effectively assert such defense or defenses, then, in addition to the right of participation set forth above, the Stockholder Representative and such counsel shall be entitled to control the defense of such Stockholder Indemnified Third Party Claim solely to the extent necessary to assert such defense or defenses.  In all cases, the cost of separate counsel employed by the Stockholder Representative shall be classified as Representative Expenses and subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap.

(c)                                  In the case of any Third Party Claim resulting from, arising out of or relating to any Losses that may be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.3 (a “Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim”), subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 9.6(c), Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense of such Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim at its expense with counsel selected by Purchaser and reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholder Representative (which consent to counsel shall

69

not be unreasonably withheld), if Purchaser delivers to the Stockholder Representative within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim written notice of such election.  If Purchaser is entitled to and does assume the defense of a Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim, then the Stockholder Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof.  The fees and expenses of such counsel shall be classified as Representative Expenses and shall be subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap.  In the event that Purchaser does not elect to assume the control of the defense of any Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.6(c), the Stockholder Representative may defend against such Third Party Claim, with all fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid from the Holdback Amount.

(d)                                 If Purchaser is controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim, then it shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the Stockholder Representative’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as such settlement, compromise or discharge involves monetary damages that are Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required if Purchaser agrees in writing to forego all claims for indemnification from the Stockholders and Warrantholders with respect to such Third Party Claim.  In the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Third Party Claim where Purchaser has not assumed the defense of such claim, the Stockholder Indemnitee controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but shall be without prejudice to any position with respect to whether any Loss is indemnifiable hereunder.

(e)                                  Irrespective of which Party controls the defense of any Third Party Claim, the other Parties will cooperate with the controlling Party in such defense and make available to the controlling Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such non-controlling Party’s possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the controlling Party.

(f)                                   In connection with any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver written notice to the Indemnified Party accepting or disputing the Indemnification Claim within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such Indemnification Claim (the “Indemnification Claim Response Notice”).  If the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver an Indemnification Claim Response Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, or if the Indemnification Claim Response Notice indicates that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute all or any portion of such Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will pay, or cause to be paid, in accordance with Section 9.7, to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the dollar value of such Indemnification Claim or undisputed portion thereof.  If an Indemnified Party delivers notice of an Indemnification Claim where the amount of such claim is at such time unknown or unquantifiable, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver an Indemnification Claim Response Notice in accordance with the foregoing, but such notice may accept the basis of liability for such Indemnification Claim but reserve the

70

right to dispute the amount of such claim.  As soon as practicable after determining the amount of such Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party shall so notify the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a supplemental Indemnification Claim Response Notice accepting or disputing the amount (but only the amount) of such Indemnification Claim within ten (10) Business Days thereafter.  If the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver such supplemental Indemnification Claim Response Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, or if the supplemental Indemnification Claim Response Notice indicates that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute all or any portion of the amount of such Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will pay, or cause to be paid, in accordance with Section 9.7, to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the dollar amount of such Indemnification Claim or undisputed portion thereof.  If an Indemnification Claim is disputed by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the foregoing, then such disputed Indemnification Claim shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.6(g) and Section 11.3.

(g)                                  Resolution of Conflicts.

(i)                                     If an Indemnification Claim is disputed by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the foregoing (such disputed Indemnification Claim, a “Disputed Claim”), then the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser will attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims.  If the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser should so agree, then a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be prepared and signed by all Parties, and payments will be made out of the Holdback Amount or otherwise according to such memorandum as provided therein.

(ii)                                  In the event the Parties cannot come to an agreement as set forth in Section 9.6(g)(i) within thirty (30) days after the date on which an Indemnification Claim becomes a Disputed Claim, the Stockholder Representative and Purchaser shall mutually agree on one mediator not affiliated with any Party for determination of the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such Disputed Claims.  The Parties shall cooperate with one another in selecting a mediator and in scheduling mediation proceedings, shall act in good faith in such mediation, shall share equally in the costs of any mediation, and shall use good faith efforts to cause such mediation to be completed within thirty (30) days of the initiation thereof; provided, that any costs of any such mediation to be borne by the Stockholder Representative shall be classified as Representative Expenses and shall be subject to the Expense Reimbursement Cap.  If a resolution is not agreed upon after completion of such mediation, then any Party may begin proceedings in accordance with Section 11.3.

(h)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 7.11 and not this Section 9.5 shall control any Tax Matter, provided however that Sections 9.6(f) and 9.6(g) shall apply with respect to Tax Matters and the mediator selected by the Parties under Section 9.6(g) in respect of a Tax Matter shall be

71

an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to both Parties.  The preceding sentence does not change the application of any other provision of Article IX.

9.7                               Payments.  Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, the Parties agree that:

(a)                                 any indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article IX of the Stockholders and Warrantholders shall be effected within two (2) Business Days after the determination of the amount (whether pursuant to a final judgment, settlement, agreement among the Parties, the dispute resolution procedures hereunder or otherwise), solely by deduction from the Holdback Amount;

(b)                                 Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article IX within two (2) Business Days after the determination of the amount (whether pursuant to a final judgment, settlement, agreement among the Parties, the dispute resolution procedures hereunder or otherwise), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts designated by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Stockholders and Warrantholders; and

(c)                                  a Stockholder’s and Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share of any indemnification payments to be paid by the Stockholders and Warrantholders pursuant to this Article IX that are not otherwise deducted in full from the Holdback Amount shall be reapportioned (as necessary, and among all Stockholders and Warrantholders severally in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares) to ensure that the entirety of such payment obligation is paid by the Stockholders and Warrantholders to Purchaser; provided, that indemnification payments that a particular Stockholder or Warrantholders is obligated but fails to pay shall remain the several obligation of such Stockholder or Warrantholder and shall not be reapportioned pursuant to this Section 9.7(c).

9.8                               Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

9.9                               Exclusive Remedies.  Subject to Section 11.10, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.11 and this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.11 and this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.9 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which

72

any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent conduct; provided, however, that any individual Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s aggregate liability under this Agreement shall be limited to the lesser of (i) such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s ratable portion of the aggregate liability under this Agreement of the Stockholders and Warrantholders as determined in accordance with such Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) the aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by such Stockholder under this Agreement; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 9.9 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be read to limit a Stockholder’s or Warrantholder’s liability for acts of fraud committed by such Stockholder or Warrantholder.

ARTICLE X.

(a)                                 by mutual written consent of the Company and Purchaser;

(b)                                 by Purchaser by written notice to the Company if:

(i)                                     neither Purchaser nor Merger Sub is then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by the Company within ten days of the Company’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Purchaser; or

(ii)                                  any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by October 31, 2014, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Purchaser to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing

(c)                                  by the Company by written notice to Purchaser if:

(i)                                     the Company is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Purchaser or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Purchaser or Merger Sub within ten days of Purchaser’s or Merger Sub’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company; or

73

(ii)                                  any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by October 31, 2014, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Company to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

(d)                                 by the Company or Purchaser if there shall be in effect a final nonappealable Order of a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction or any Law that would have the effect of restraining, enjoining, otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; it being agreed that the parties hereto shall promptly appeal any adverse determination that is not nonappealable (and pursue such appeal with commercially reasonable diligence);

10.2                        Procedure Upon Termination.  In the event of termination and abandonment by Purchaser or the Company, or both, pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, the terminating party shall forthwith deliver notice thereof to the other party or parties, and this Agreement shall terminate, and the Merger hereunder shall be abandoned, without further action by Purchaser or the Stockholder Representative.

10.3                        Effect of Termination.  In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 10.1, then each of the parties shall be relieved of their duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination shall be without liability to Purchaser or the Company; provided, that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement and, provided, further, that the obligations of the parties set forth in Section 7.6, Section 7.9, and Article IX hereof shall survive any such termination and shall be enforceable hereunder.

ARTICLE XI.

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1                        Payment of Sales, Use or Similar Taxes.  All sales, use, transfer, intangible, recordation, documentary stamp or similar Taxes or charges, of any nature whatsoever, applicable to, or resulting from, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by (a) the Purchaser and (b) the Stockholders and Warrantholders.  Any such amounts that are the responsibility of the Stockholders and the Warrantholders shall be deducted from the Holdback Amount by the Purchaser.

11.2                        Expenses.  Subject to the payment of certain Transaction Expenses at the Closing as part of the Closing Merger Consideration, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all costs and expenses (including any brokerage commissions or any finder’s or investment banker’s fees and including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

74

11.3                        Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)                                 The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Delaware over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.  The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b)                                 Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.

(c)                                  TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE.  ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 11.3 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

11.4                        Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement (including the Schedules, Disclosure Schedules, and the Exhibits) and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding, agreement, representations and warranties between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  After the Closing, this Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand.  No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.  The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.  No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right,

75

power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

11.5                        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the conflicts or choice of law provisions thereof or of any other jurisdiction that would give rise to the application of the domestic substantive law of any other jurisdiction; provided that the DGCL shall govern the approval, consummation and effects of the Merger.

11.7                        Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.8                        Binding Effect; Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.  No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either the Company or Purchaser, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, that the Purchaser may assign or collaterally assign its rights but not its obligations under this Agreement to any financing source.  No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations.  Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

11.9                        Retention of Counsel.  In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement following the Closing, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right, at its election, to retain McGuireWoods LLP or Akin Gump Strauss

77

Hauer & Feld LLP to represent it in such matter, and Purchaser, for itself and the Company and for their respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waives and consents to any such representation in any such matter and the communication by such counsel to the Stockholder Representative in connection with any such representation of any fact known to such counsel arising by reason of such counsel’s prior representation of the Company.  Purchaser, for itself and the Company and for its and such respective Persons’ Affiliates, successors and assigns, irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between any of the Company and counsel made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and Closing under, or any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise that, immediately prior to the Closing, would be deemed to be privileged communications of any of the Company and its counsel and would not be subject to disclosure to Purchaser in connection with any process relating to a dispute arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or otherwise, shall continue after the Closing and for all purposes be deemed to be privileged communications between the Stockholder Representative and such counsel and neither Purchaser nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Purchaser shall seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such communications, belongs to the Company, and not the Stockholder Representative.

11.10                 Specific Performance.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

11.11                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail transmission), each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.
