AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 31, 2012 (the “Agreement Date”), by and among ShoreTel, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquirer”), Mets Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer (“Sub I”), Mets Acquisition II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer (“Sub II”, together with Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), M5 Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely with respect to express references herein, as Effective Time Holders’ Agent (as defined in Section 8.7).

RECITALS

A. The Boards of Directors of the Company, Merger Subs and Acquirer have determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders of their respective companies that Sub I merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), pursuant to which the Company would be the surviving corporation and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer, and, as part of the same overall transaction, the surviving entity of the First Merger would merge with and into Sub II (the “Second Merger”, and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Sub II to survive the Second Merger and continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Mergers, this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

B. The Mergers taken together are intended to qualify to be a tax free reorganization under Section 368(a)(i)(A) of the Code.

C. Pursuant to the First Merger, among other things, the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall be converted into the right to receive cash and shares of Acquirer Common Stock in the manner set forth herein.

D. The Company, Merger Subs and Acquirer desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Mergers as set forth herein.

E. Immediately following execution of this Agreement and as a material inducement to the willingness of Acquirer to enter into this Agreement, each Company Stockholder listed on Exhibit B-1 will execute and deliver (a) a written consent substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Company Stockholder Consent”) approving the Mergers and related items and adopting this Agreement and (b) a stockholder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3 (the “Company Stockholder Agreement”).

F. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and as a material inducement to the willingness of Acquirer to enter into this Agreement, each of the Company Securityholders identified on Exhibit C-1 hereto (each a “Company Key Stockholder”) is executing and delivering to Acquirer an Investment Representation Letter and Lock-Up Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, in each case to become effective upon the Closing.

G. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and as a material inducement to the willingness of Acquirer to enter into this Agreement, certain employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries identified on Exhibit D (the “Key Employees”) have executed employee offer letters (including a non-disclosure and inventions assignment agreement and such other forms provided by Acquirer and as are part of Acquirer’s standard policy for commencement of employment) with Acquirer (collectively, the “Employment Documents”), in each case to become effective upon the Closing.

H. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and as a material inducement to the willingness of Acquirer to enter into this Agreement, each of the Company Securityholders identified on Exhibit E is entering into a non-competition agreement with Acquirer (each, a “Non-Competition Agreement”), in each case to become effective upon the Closing.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the cash amount provided for in Section 1.8, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Delaware Law. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with Delaware Law (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the cash amount provided for in Section 1.8 in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Acquirer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.9(c), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.9(c), the cash amount to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under this Section 1.8 as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Acquirer (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company and (ii) the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal or purchase under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquirer, or as otherwise required under Delaware Law, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares. The payout of consideration under this Agreement to the stockholders of the Company (other than to holders of Dissenting Shares who shall be treated as provided in this Section 1.8 and under Delaware Law) shall not be affected by the exercise or potential exercise of appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights under Delaware Law by any other stockholder of the Company.

(e) Rights Not Transferable. The rights of the Company Securityholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time are personal to each such Company Securityholder and shall not be transferable for any reason otherwise than by operation of law, will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of such right by any holder thereof (otherwise than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

(f) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Mergers, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Acquirer Common Stock (after aggregating for each particular stock certificate representing Company Capital Stock all fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall receive from Acquirer an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Acquirer Stock Value.

1.9 Surrender of Certificates.

2.20 Customers and Suppliers.

(a) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any outstanding material disputes concerning its products and/or services with any customer or distributor who, in the year ended December 31, 2011 or the 12-month period ended December 31, 2011, was one of the twenty (20) largest sources of revenues for the Company and its Subsidiaries, based on amounts paid or payable (each, a “Significant Customer”), and the Company has no knowledge of any material dissatisfaction on the part of any Significant Customer. Each Significant Customer is listed on Schedule 2.20(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written information from any Significant Customer that such customer shall not continue as a customer of the Company or such Subsidiary (or the Final Surviving LLC or Acquirer) after the Closing or that such customer intends to terminate or materially modify existing Contracts with the Company or such Subsidiary (or the Final Surviving LLC or Acquirer). The Company has not had any of its products returned by a purchaser thereof except for normal warranty returns consistent with past history and those returns that would not result in a reversal of any revenue by the Company.

(b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any outstanding material dispute concerning products and/or services provided by any supplier who, in the year ended December 31, 2011 or the 12-month period ended December 31, 2011, was one of the twenty (20) largest suppliers of products and/or services to the Company and its Subsidiaries, based on amounts paid or payable (each, a “Significant Supplier”), and the Company has no knowledge of any material dissatisfaction on the part of any Significant Supplier. Each Significant Supplier is listed on Schedule 2.20(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written information from any Significant Supplier that such supplier shall not continue as a supplier to the Company or such Subsidiary (or the Final Surviving LLC or Acquirer) after the Closing or that such supplier intends to terminate or materially modify existing Contracts with the Company or such Subsidiary (or the Final Surviving LLC or Acquirer). The Company and its Subsidiaries have access, on commercially reasonable terms, to all products and services reasonably necessary to carry on their respective businesses, and the Company has no knowledge of any reason why they will not continue to have such access on commercially reasonable terms.

2.21 Accounts Receivable. The accounts receivable as reflected on the Company Balance Sheet and as will be reflected in the Company Net Working Capital Certificate arose in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, represented bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges. Allowances for doubtful accounts and warranty returns have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ past practices. The accounts receivable of the Company and its Subsidiaries arising after the Balance Sheet Date and before the Closing Date arose or shall arise in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, represented or shall represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges, less allowances for doubtful accounts and warranty returns determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. No material amount of accounts receivable is contingent upon the performance by the Company or any Subsidiary of any obligation or Contract other than normal warranty repair and replacement. No Person has any lien on any of such accounts receivable, and no agreement for deduction or discount has been made with respect to any of such accounts receivable. Schedule 2.21 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth an aging of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ accounts receivable in the aggregate and by customer, and indicates the amounts of allowances for doubtful accounts and warranty returns. Schedule 2.21 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth such amounts of accounts receivable of the Company and its Subsidiaries which are subject to asserted warranty claims by customers and reasonably detailed information regarding asserted warranty claims made within the last year, including the type and amounts of such claims.

2.22 Compliance with Regulation D; Shareholders. The Company and each Company Securityholder is aware that the Acquirer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Mergers, if issued pursuant to a Private Placement, will constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Securities Act. At no time was any Company Securityholder solicited by means of general advertising or general solicitation in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.23 Representations Complete. To knowledge of the Company, none of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any exhibit or schedule hereto, including the Company Disclosure Letter, or in any certificate furnished by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, when all such documents are read together in their entirety, contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which made, not misleading.

The Effective Time Holders’ Agent shall notify Acquirer in writing within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of a Revenue Earnout Amount Calculation Statement as to whether the Effective Time Holders’ Agent disputes the determination of the Revenue Earnout Amount, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific items in dispute and the basis for the dispute (an “Earnout Payment Dispute Notice”). If the Effective Time Holders’ Agent does not deliver an Earnout Payment Dispute Notice within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of a Revenue Earnout Amount Calculation Statement, or if the Effective Time Holders’ Agent accepts the amounts set forth in a Revenue Earnout Amount Calculation Statement in writing, the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount calculations (as applicable) as contained in such Revenue Earnout Amount Calculation Statement shall be deemed final and binding. In the event an Earnout Payment Dispute Notice is delivered, Acquirer and the Effective Time Holders’ Agent (or the designated representative of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent) shall meet within twenty (20) Business Days of the delivery of such Earnout Payment Dispute Notice to attempt to resolve such dispute in good faith. If a final resolution of such dispute is reached as reflected in an agreement in writing, the agreed upon 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or 2013 Revenue Earnout (as applicable) shall be deemed final and binding. If no final resolution is reached within thirty (30) Business Days of the delivery of such Earnout Payment Dispute Notice after good faith negotiation, either party may require that the dispute (other than a dispute as to the calculation of any aspect of the applicable Revenue Earnout Amount Calculation Statement) be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Section 9.9; provided, however, that if the dispute relates to the method of calculation of any aspect of the applicable Revenue Earnout Amount Calculation Statement, the parties shall engage an auditing firm mutually acceptable to Acquirer and the Effective Time Holders’ Agent (the “Reviewing Accountant”) and the parties shall submit the dispute to the Reviewing Accountant for final resolution. The Reviewing Accountants shall be authorized only to arbitrate the calculation of 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount (as applicable) and the underlying accounting basis, but shall not have any authority to arbitrate any other dispute relating to the matters addressed in this Section 5.19. The Reviewing Accountants shall be instructed to review the applicable Revenue Earnout Amount Calculation Statement, the Earnout Payment Dispute Notice and all work papers related thereto to determine the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount (as applicable) and use every reasonable effort to determine such amounts within sixty (60) days after the submission of such dispute to it, and in any event, as soon as practicable. The Reviewing Accountant shall not undertake any review of any matters not specifically identified by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent as being in dispute in the Earnout Payment Dispute Notice and shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Reviewing Accountants’ determination shall be based solely on presentations by Acquirer and the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and an independent review by the Reviewing Accountants of the books and records of Acquirer and on the definitions and other terms included herein. The Reviewing Accountants shall set out the resolution of the dispute in writing, which shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountants shall be borne (i) by Acquirer if the difference between the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount (as applicable) as determined by Acquirer and as determined by the Reviewing Accountants is greater than the difference between the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount (as applicable) as determined by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and as determined by the Reviewing Accountants or (ii) by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent (on behalf of the Effective Time Holders (to be allocated among them on the basis of each Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the merger consideration received by all of the Effective Time Holders under this Agreement)) if the difference between the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount (as applicable) as determined by Acquirer and as determined by the Reviewing Accountants is lower than the difference between the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount (as applicable) as determined by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and as determined by the Reviewing Accountants, or (iii) 50% by the Acquirer and 50% by the Effective Time Holders (to be allocated among them on the basis of each Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the merger consideration received by all of the Effective Time Holders under this Agreement), in any other case.

(c) Operating Covenants During the Revenue Earnout Periods. Following the Closing, any and all decisions with respect to any aspect of the operation of the business of Acquirer and its Subsidiaries, including the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving LLC or any of its Subsidiaries and including matters directly or indirectly related to the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount or the 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount, shall be made by Acquirer in its sole discretion without any express or implied obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless Acquirer and the Effective Time Holders’ Agent otherwise agree in writing and except as contemplated by this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time until such time as the Earnout Measurement Period has expired:

(i) Acquirer shall not take any action, not otherwise justified for good faith business reasons which Acquirer has consulted with the Effective Time Holders’ Agent prior to implementing, which has the effect of reducing the earning or payment of the Earnout Payments;

(ii) Acquirer shall cause the Business Unit to operate and function as a single division of Acquirer;

(iii) Acquirer shall cause the Business Unit to be operated substantially in accordance with the business plan set forth on Schedule 5.18(c)(iii) hereto (the “Business Plan”) and any deviation by Acquirer from the Business Plan during the Earnout Period, other than commercially reasonable variations in Funding Resources, not material individually or in the aggregate, based on timing and the reasonable judgment of the Business Unit management team and Acquirer’s CEO, shall require the consent of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);

(iv) Acquirer shall allot or allocate funding resources to the operation of the Business Unit in accordance with the budget set forth on Schedule 5.18(c)(iv) hereto (the “Budget”) and any decrease by Acquirer in the funding resources set forth in the Budget from the Business Unit (the “Funding Resources”), other than commercially reasonable variations in Funding Resources, not material individually or in the aggregate, based on timing and the reasonable judgment of the Business Unit management team and Acquirer’s CEO, shall require the consent of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and

(v) Acquirer may allot or allocate additional resources to the operation of the Business Unit in accordance with joint plans developed between Business Unit management team and management of the Acquirer prior to or following the Closing for the purposes exploiting revenue growth opportunities that may result from the combination of Company assets with Acquirer assets (the “Synergies”). Revenues generated from Synergies related to the Company’s hosted business will be included in the 2012 Revenue (for purposes of calculating the 2012 Earnout Amount and 2013 Earnout Amount), and resources committed in pursuit of Synergies will be considered incremental to the Business Plan and Budget and not be accounted for as Funding Resources; and

(vi) Each party hereto agrees that, from the Closing until the end of the Earnout Measurement Period, it shall, with respect to all matters related to this Agreement, act in good faith and the spirit of fair dealing such that the intent of this Agreement is carried out to the fullest extent practicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that it shall not, under any circumstance, be a breach of the operating covenants of Acquirer contained in this Section 5.19(c) if as a result of a Legal Proceeding or other demand requiring, or purporting to require, Acquirer to license any Third Party Intellectual Property or claiming infringement thereof, (a) Acquirer experiences a delay in or diminishment of its ability to sell Company Products during the Earnout Measurement Period or (b) Acquirer in its sole reasonable discretion determines, after consulting with the Effective Time Holders’ Agent, to revise the Business Plan in good faith to take into account such Legal Proceeding or other demand and its effect on the Business Unit.

(d) Acceleration of Payment of the Earnout Amount. In the event an Acceleration Event (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Earnout Measurement Period, Acquirer shall promptly pay to each Effective Time Holder through such reasonable procedures as Acquirer may adopt, cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the (i) maximum 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount and (ii) maximum 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acceleration Event” shall mean (x) (a) a sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property or business of Acquirer (directly or through a subsidiary), (b) a merger or consolidation with or into any other entity, unless the stockholders of the Acquirer immediately before the transaction own 50% or more of the voting stock of the acquiring or surviving corporation following the transaction (taking into account, in the numerator, only stock of the Acquirer held by such stockholders before the transaction and stock issued in respect of such prior-held stock of the Acquirer), or (c) any other transaction which results in (assuming an immediate and maximum exercise/conversion of all derivative securities issued in the transaction) the holders of the Acquirer’s capital stock as of immediately before the transaction owning less than 50% of the voting power of the Acquirer’s capital stock as of immediately after the transaction, or (y) a willful and material breach by Acquirer of Sections 5.18(c)(i)-(v) (provided however that the Parties acknowledge and agree that the timing of the Earnout Payments, as described in Sections 5.19(a) and 5.19(b) above, shall not be affected in any way by the terms of this clause (y) of this Section 5.19(d)).

(e) The Acquirer, the Company, and the Effective Time Holders agree for all tax purposes that the right of the Company Stockholders to the Earnout Amount shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price that is, with respect to the sale of Company Capital Stock, eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local law, as appropriate. A portion of the Earnout Amount shall be treated as imputed interest to the extent required by the Code and regulations thereunder.

5.20 Financing. Acquirer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain financing, on terms acceptable to Acquirer in Acquirer’s sole discretion, as is necessary for Acquirer to have available sufficient funds to pay the Total Adjusted Cash Consideration (the “Debt Financing”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and to cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to cooperate, with Acquirer and Representatives of Acquirer in connection with the Debt Financing. The Acquirer will update the Company with respect to the status of the Debt Financing from time to time.

5.21 Geckotech Amendment.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall finalize and enter into an amendment (the “Geckotech Amendment”) to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, M5 Acquisition Corp. and Geckotech, LLC (the “Geckotech”), dated as of November 1, 2010 (the “Geckotech Agreement”), in form and substance satisfactory to Acquirer in its sole discretion, providing that (i) neither the consummation of the Mergers nor the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will result in or give rise to any acceleration of any payment (including but not limited to the Second Anniversary Additional Purchase Price and/or Second Earn-In, each such term as defined in the Geckotech Agreement) or other right or obligation of any party other than the Company under the Geckotech Agreement; (ii) after the consummation of the Merger, the Second Earn-In will be payable in cash (and not in shares of Company Capital Stock or other Company Securities); and (iii) the total maximum amount of cash payable to the Seller (as defined in the Geckotech Agreement) in respect of the Second Earn-In will not exceed $1.25 million (such amount of cash payable to Geckotech, the “Geckotech Payment”), subject to the other terms and conditions of the Geckotech Agreement.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the Company enters into, prior to the Closing, a Geckotech Amendment that provides for the payment of the Geckotech Payment to Geckotech, out of the consideration otherwise payable to the Company Securityholders hereunder, at the Closing, such Geckotech Amendment shall be deemed to have satisfied this Section 5.21.

5.22 Pay-off Letters; Releases. Prior to the Closing the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain executed pay-off and lien release letters (the “Pay-off Letters”) in a form reasonably satisfactory to Acquirer from Square 1 Bank (“Square 1”), which Pay-off Letters shall include: (i) the balance required to pay-off the loans made pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company and Square 1, dated as of September 27, 2010, as amended (collectively, the “Loans”) in full at Closing (including any prepayment penalties); (ii) the per-diem interest amount; (iii) a statement that upon pay-off of the Loans any related security interests in the Company’s assets shall immediately be released; (iv) attached draft UCC-3 termination statements; (v) wiring instructions; and (vi) consent to consummation of the Merger.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date), the Escrow Cash and the Escrow Shares shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent, such deposit, together with any interest that may be earned thereof, to constitute the General Escrow Fund and the Special Escrow Fund (collectively, the “Escrow Funds”) and to be governed by the provisions set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement. Following the Effective Time, the Escrow Funds shall be available to compensate Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person (as such term is defined in Section 8.2 below)) for Indemnifiable Damages (as such term is defined in Section 8.2 below) pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Effective Time Holders until 11:59 p.m. California time on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (such date, the “Escrow Release Date”). No portion (nor all) of the Escrow Funds, nor any beneficial interest therein, may be pledged, subjected to any Encumbrance, sold, assigned or transferred, by any Effective Time Holder, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other Liability of any Effective Time Holder, in each case prior to the disbursement of the Escrow Fund to any Effective Time Holder in accordance with Section 8.1(b) below.

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days following the Escrow Release Date, Acquirer and the Effective Time Holders’ Agent will instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Exchange Agent (on behalf of each Effective Time Holder) such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Funds less (i) those portions of the Escrow Funds previously paid to Acquirer in satisfaction of claims for indemnification in accordance with Article 8 of this Agreement and (ii) those portions of the Escrow Funds that are determined, in the reasonable judgment of Acquirer, to be necessary to satisfy all unsatisfied or disputed claims for indemnification specified in any Claim Certificate (as defined in Section 8.5 below) delivered to the Effective Time Holders’ Agent prior to the Escrow Release Date. Any portions of the Escrow Funds held following the Escrow Release Date with respect to pending but unresolved claims for indemnification that are not awarded to Acquirer upon the resolution of such claims shall be disbursed to the Effective Time Holders within ten (10) Business Days following resolution of such claims. For the avoidance of doubt, only Company Qualified Stockholders shall receive any Escrow Shares.

(c) For purposes of claims against the Escrow Shares, such Escrow Shares shall be valued at the Claim Stock Value. Claims made against the Escrow Fund shall be made against both the Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares on a proportional basis (with the Escrow Stock valued at the Claim Stock Value); provided, however, that additional Escrow Cash and fewer Escrow Shares shall be delivered as necessary (though in all cases in such manner as to account for each such Effective Time Holders’ respective Pro Rata Share) to be consistent with the intended treatment of the Mergers as a tax-free reorganization.

(d) Acquirer, the Company, and the Effective Time Holders agree for all tax purposes that: (i) the right of the Effective Time Holders to the Escrow Funds shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price that is, with respect to the sale of Company Capital Stock, eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local law, as appropriate; (ii) if and to the extent any amount of the Escrow Funds is actually distributed to the Effective Time Holders, interest may be imputed on such amount, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code; (iii) Acquirer shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Cash, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Cash, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Acquirer; and (iv) for purposes of calculating the maximum amount of deferred contingent purchase price under the installment sale rules of Code Section 453, if the imputed interest amount is less than the amount of interest and earnings on the Escrow Funds paid to the Effective Time Holders, then an amount equal to the difference shall be treated as additional interest paid to the Effective Time Holders.

8.2 Indemnification. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8, each Effective Time Holder shall severally and not jointly, based on each such Effective Time Holders’ respective Pro Rata Share, indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer and its officers, directors, agents and employees, and each person, if any, who controls or may control Acquirer within the meaning of the Securities Act (each of the foregoing being referred to individually as an “Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, Liabilities, damages (which with respect to punitive damages, shall only include amounts actually paid to a third party), fees, interest, costs and expenses, including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable fees and expenses of lawyers, experts and other professionals, and re-engineering costs, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a third-party claim (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”), arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (i) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Letter (including any exhibit or schedule to the Company Disclosure Letter) to be true and correct as of the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date), (ii) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, (iii) any inaccuracies in the Spreadsheet or the Company Closing Financial Certificate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any inaccuracy in or failure to calculate properly the Company Net Working Capital, Transaction Expenses, Company Capital Leases Liability Adjustment Amount, Company Past Acquisition Liability Adjustment Amount, Company Bonus Expenses, or Company Debt),

(iv) any payments paid with respect to Dissenting Shares to the extent that such payments, in the aggregate, exceed the value of the amounts that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) upon the exchange of such Dissenting Shares, and any interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with the exercise of any dissenters’ rights; (v) any claim asserted or held by any current, former or alleged securityholder of the Company alleging any ownership of, interest in or right to acquire any shares or other securities of the Company or otherwise disputing the treatment of securityholders of the Company in connection with the Merger; (vi) any claim or right asserted or held by any person who is or at any time was an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company involving a right or entitlement or an alleged right or entitlement to indemnification, reimbursement of expenses or any other relief or remedy (under the charter documents or under any indemnification agreement or similar Contract, under any Legal Requirement or otherwise) with respect to any act or omission on the part of such person or any event or other circumstance that arose, occurred or existed at or prior to the Effective Time; (vii) the matters set forth on Schedule 8.2(vii) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Special Matters”); (viii) any claim or right asserted by any Company Warrantholder that does not execute a Company Warrant Termination Agreement which claim or right is related to the Company Warrants held by such Company Warrantholder; (ix) any claim related to the Company’s failure to execute the Geckotech Amendment; (x) the use or distribution by the Company or any Subsidiary of any Open Source Materials, or the inclusion or combination of any Open Source Materials in or with the Company Intellectual Property or Company Products (regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the open source schedule to be provided by the Company pursuant to Section 5.28); (xi) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Letter (including any exhibit or schedule to the Company Disclosure Letter) with respect to Section 2.12 (Taxes) (the “Tax Matters”) to be true and correct as of the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date), or (xii) the matter referred to on Schedule 8.2(xii) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Materiality standards or qualifications, and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation, warranty or covenant shall only be taken into account in determining whether a breach of or default in connection with such representation, warranty or covenant (or failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct) exists, and shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such breach, default or failure to be true and correct.

8.3 Threshold; Other Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Person may make a claim against the General Escrow Fund in respect of any claim for indemnification that is made pursuant to clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 8.2 (and that does not involve fraud or willful breach or any failure of any of the Fundamental Representations and Warranties (as defined below)), unless and until a Claim Certificate (as defined below) describing Indemnifiable Damages in an aggregate amount greater than $750,000 (the “Threshold”) has been delivered, in which case the Indemnified Person may make claims for indemnification for all Indemnifiable Damages (including the amount of the Threshold).

(b) If the Merger is consummated, recovery from the General Escrow Fund shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for the indemnification obligations under this Agreement for the matters listed in clauses (i), (ii) (other than in the case of a willful breach of covenant or agreement by the Company in this Agreement), (iv), (x) and (xii) of the first sentence of Section 8.2 (in the case of clause (xii), subject to Section 8.3(i) below), except in the case of (A) fraud by the Company or any Company Securityholder; (B) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to Section 2.1 (Organization, Standing, Power, and Subsidiaries), Section 2.2 (Capital Structure), Section 2.3(a) (Authority), and Section 2.19 (Transaction Expenses) (such representations and warranties set forth in (B) above collectively referred to herein as the “Fundamental Representations and Warranties” and the matters set forth on (A) and (B) above collectively referred to as “Fundamental Matters”), (C) any willful breach of any of the covenants or agreements by the Company in this Agreement, (D) for the matters listed in clauses (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) of the first sentence of Section 8.2 ((C) and (D) collectively referred to herein as “Select Matters”) and (E) the Tax Matters.

(c) In the case of Fundamental Matters, after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims upon the General Escrow Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification from the Escrow Fund made by Indemnified Persons), each Effective Time Holder shall be liable, severally and not jointly, based on each such Effective Time Holders’ respective Pro Rata Share, for any such Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom not to exceed the total amount payable to such Effective Time Holder hereunder (including any interest in the Earnout).

(d) In the case of Select Matters and Tax Matters, after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims upon the General Escrow Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification from the Escrow Fund made by Indemnified Persons), each Effective Time Holder shall be liable, severally and not jointly, based on each such Effective Time Holders’ respective Pro Rata Share, for any such Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom not to exceed forty percent (40%) of the total amount payable to such Effective Time Holder hereunder (including any interest in the Earnout).

(e) If the Merger is consummated, the Special Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) for Indemnifiable Damages solely arising out of, solely resulting from or solely in connection with the Special Matters. For the avoidance of doubt, Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) shall be entitled to then seek recourse against the Special Escrow Fund first and then the General Escrow Fund second (only, in the later case, if the Special Escrow Fund is not sufficient to cover the Indemnifiable Damages solely related to the Special Matters). Subject to Section 8.2(g) below, recovery from the Special Escrow Fund first and the General Escrow Fund second shall be the sole remedy of the Indemnified Persons with respect to the Special Matters.

(f) No Indemnified Person may recover any Indemnifiable Damages for the value, condition or diminution of any Tax attribute (e.g. net operating loss carryforward or tax credit carryforward). For purposes of this Article 8, Indemnifiable Damages shall be calculated net of actual recoveries under insurance policies (with the amount of such recoveries calculated after deduction of collection costs and premium increases, if any); provided, however, that no Indemnified Person shall be under any obligation to acquire any insurance policy or pursue or seek any recovery under any insurance policy.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall limit an Effective Time Holder’s liability in the case of fraud if such Effective Time Holder committed such fraud or had actual knowledge of fraud committed by the Company at the time such fraud occurred or was committed.

(h) If the Merger is consummated, Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) shall be entitled to collect Indemnifiable Damages with respect to Tax liabilities reflected in the calculation of Company Net Working Capital only to the extent that the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages exceeds such Tax liabilities as reflected in the Company Closing Financial Certificate.

(i) In no event shall the Effective Time Holders be responsible for Indemnifiable Damages with respect to the matters reflected in clause (xii) of the first sentence of Section 8.2 in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate.

8.4 Period for Claims Against Escrow Funds. Except with respect to Fundamental Matters, Select Matters and Tax Matters, the period during which claims for Indemnifiable Damages may be made (the “Claims Period”) against the General Escrow Fund and/or Special Escrow Fund for Indemnifiable Damages shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. California time on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”). The Claims Period for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with Fundamental Matters and Tax Matters shall commence at the Closing and terminate upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such matter. The Claims Period for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with Select Matters shall commence at the Closing and terminate upon the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date. The availability of the Escrow Funds to indemnify the Indemnified Persons will be determined without regard to any right to indemnification which any Effective Time Holder may have in his or her capacity as an officer, director, employee, or agent of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and no such Effective Time Holder will be entitled to any indemnification from the Company or the Final Surviving LLC for amounts paid for indemnification under this Article 8.

8.5 Claims.

(a) With respect to claims for Indemnifiable Damages against the Escrow Funds, on or before the last day of the applicable Claims Period, Acquirer may deliver to the Effective Time Holders’ Agent a certificate signed by any officer of Acquirer (an “Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or that it reasonably believes it will incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages;

(ii) stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount reasonably believed by Acquirer to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Acquirer) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.

(iv) if applicable, the portion of the amount of Indemnifiable Damages for which Acquirer seeks recovery from the General Escrow Fund and the portion of the amount of Indemnifiable Damages for which Acquirer seeks recovery from the Special Escrow Funds; and

(v) the applicable Claim Stock Value determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Effective Time Holders’ Agent or the Effective Time Holders are materially prejudiced thereby. At the time of delivery of any Claim Certificate to the Effective Time Holders’ Agent, if such delivery is on or before the Escrow Release Date, a duplicate copy of such Claim Certificate shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person).

8.6 Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a) If the Effective Time Holders’ Agent does not contest, by written notice to Acquirer, any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within twenty (20) Business Days after any such Claim Certificate is received by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent, then the Effective Time Holders’ Agent will be conclusively deemed to have consented, on behalf of all Effective Time Holders, to the recovery by the Indemnified Person of the full amount of Indemnifiable Damages specified in the Claim Certificate, including the forfeiture of such amount from the Escrow Funds (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.3 above) having a value sufficient to satisfy such Indemnifiable Damages and, without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for Indemnifiable Damages against the Effective Time Holders for such amount in any court having jurisdiction over the matter where venue is proper.

(b) If the Effective Time Holders’ Agent objects in writing to any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within such twenty (20) Business Day period, Acquirer and the Effective Time Holders’ Agent shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) Business Days after Acquirer’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Acquirer and the Effective Time Holders’ Agent shall so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such memorandum and the Escrow Agent shall distribute such amount from the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached during the thirty (30) Business Day period for good faith negotiation, but in any event upon the expiration of such thirty (30) Business Day period, either Acquirer or the Effective Time Holders’ Agent may proceed in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 9.9 of this Agreement to resolve the matter. The decision of the J.A.M.S. arbitrator 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 conclusively rely and to act in accordance with such decision and the Escrow Agent shall distribute such amount from the Escrow Funds in accordance therewith.

(d) Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 8.6(d), in any suit hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Claim Certificate is at issue, Acquirer shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party unless the trial court awards Acquirer more than one-half of the amount in dispute, in which case the Effective Time Holders shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to a suit shall pay its own expenses and the expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit.

8.7 Effective Time Holders’ Agent.

(a) At the Closing, Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, shall be constituted and appointed as the Effective Time Holders’ Agent. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Effective Time Holders’ Agent” shall mean the agent for and on behalf of the Effective Time Holders to: (i) execute, as Effective Time Holders’ Agent, this Agreement and any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) give and receive notices, instructions, and communications permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, for and on behalf of any Effective Time Holder, to or from Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Company Securityholder individually and not by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent);

(ii) review, negotiate and agree to and authorize deliveries to Acquirer of cash from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims) pursuant to this Article 8; (iii) object to such claims pursuant to Section 8.5; (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims, resolve any such claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Effective Time Holder or necessary in the judgment of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement; (v) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Effective Time Holders; (vi) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Effective Time Holders (other than with respect to the issuance of the Common Qualified Total Consideration and Common Non-Qualified Total Consideration less the Escrow Fund) in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein; (vii) negotiate matters concerning 2012 Revenue, the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount and the 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount and the calculation thereof with Acquirer; (viii) review and determine 2012 Revenue, the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount and the 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount and cooperate and work with Acquirer regarding such review and determination; (ix) enter into agreements, settlements and compromises regarding the calculation and determination of 2012 Revenue, the 2012 Revenue Earnout Amount and the 2013 Revenue Earnout Amount; and (x) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. Effective Time Holders’ Agent Effective Time HoldersEffective Time HoldersEffective Time Holder Acquirer, Merger Subs and their respective Affiliates (including without limitation, after the Closing Date, the Final Surviving LLC) shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and treat such Effective Time Holders’ Agent as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Effective Time Holder and has having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Section 8.7. The Effective Time Holders shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent in connection with this Article 8, and Acquirer and other Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to rely exclusively on any action or decision of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent.

(b) The Effective Time Holders’ Agent shall not be liable to any Company Securityholder for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Effective Time Holders’ Agent while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, certain Company Securityholders (the “Advisory Group”) have concurrently herewith entered into a letter agreement with the Effective Time Holders’ Agent providing, among other things, that the Advisory Group shall have the authority to direct the Effective Time Holders’ Agent on matters of material interest to the Effective Time Holders. The Effective Time Holders acknowledge the authority of the Advisory Group and agree that the Advisory Group shall not be liable to the Effective Time Holders for any liability incurred by the members of the Advisory Group while acting in good faith and arising out of or in connection with the exercise of their authority (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith), even if such act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of the Advisory Group or one of its members. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Effective Time Holders’ Agent (i) shall not be subject to any implied duties, and (ii) shall not be required to take any action that, in the opinion of its counsel, reasonably could be expected to expose the Effective Time Holders’ Agent to liability or that is contrary to law.

All expenses of Effective Time Holders’ Agent in excess of amounts available to the Effective Time Holders’ Agent to cover Effective Time Holders’ Agent Expenses (as defined below) shall be borne by the Effective Time Holders. The Effective Time Holders shall severally indemnify the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder, including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent (collectively, the “Effective Time Holders’ Agent Expenses”). At the Effective Time, Acquirer will deposit $400,000 with the Escrow Agent (the “Agent Expense Amount”) and to be governed by the provisions set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement. The Agent Expense Amount will be available to indemnify the Effective Time Holders’ Agent against any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense incurred by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties under this Agreement. For tax purposes the parties shall treat the Agent Expense Amount as having been received by the Effective Time Holders at the Effective Time. To the extent such Effective Time Holders are employees or former employees of the Company for which employment tax withholding is required for their portion of the Total Consideration, Acquirer shall be entitled at the Effective Time to withhold such amounts as if Acquirer had directly paid the Agent Expense Amount to the relevant recipient, and shall satisfy its tax reporting requirements in accordance with such treatment, provided that, in order to ensure that the full Agent Expense Amount has been deposited without reduction, Acquirer (with the concurrence of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent) is entitled to reduce such other payments to these recipients made under this Agreement by the proper amount of withholding in respect of the Agent Expense Amount attributable to such recipient. The Effective Time Holders shall be treated as the owners of the Agent Expense Amount and shall report any income earned on the Agent Expense Amount.

(c) The Effective Time Holders’ Agent will be entitled to recover Effective Time Holders’ Agent Expenses from the Escrow Agent out of the Agent Expense Amount, without the requirement of any consent or approval by Acquirer, upon delivery to the Escrow Agent, from time to time, of an itemized list of expenses incurred by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent in connection with the Effective Time Holders’ Agent duties under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall reimburse the Effective Time Holders’ Agent for Effective Time Holders’ Agent Expenses, upon the request of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent, from the Agent Expense Amount or from any interest accruing on the Agent Expense Amount or from any Escrow Funds available for distribution to the Effective Time Holders at the time such amounts, if any, otherwise would be distributed to the Effective Time Holders after the Escrow Release Date (and after final resolution of any pending but unresolved claims for indemnification that are not awarded to Acquirer upon the resolution of such claims in accordance with this Article 8) (collectively, the “Agent Expense Funds”). In addition to reimbursement for Agent Effective Time Holders’ Agent Expenses then incurred to date, the Effective Time Holders’ Agent may request that the Escrow Agent reserve from time to time out of the Agent Expense Funds an amount reasonably calculated by the Effective Time Holders’ Agent to cover reasonably anticipated Effective Time Holders’ Agent Expenses. The Agent Expense Funds shall not be available to Acquirer to cover Indemnifiable Damages and no portion of the Agent Expense Amount shall constitute part of the Escrow Funds. Any interest on the Agent Expense Amount shall, subject to this Section 8.5, be paid to the Effective Time Holders as provided for in Sections 1.9 and 8.1(b).

(d) Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Effective Time Holders’ Agent that is within the scope of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent’s authority under Section 8.7(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Effective Time Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Effective Time Holder; and each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Effective Time Holder. Acquirer, the other Indemnified Persons are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent. All of the indemnification obligations of the Effective Time Holders under this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

8.8 Third-Party Claims. In the event Acquirer becomes aware of a third-party claim which Acquirer in good faith believes may result in a claim for indemnification under this Article 8 by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Acquirer shall have the right to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve any such claim (and the costs and expenses incurred by Acquirer in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which Acquirer may seek indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder). The Effective Time Holders’ Agent 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 any Indemnified Person and shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the third-party claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the third-party claim. However, except with the consent of the Effective Time Holders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Effective Time Holders’ Agent shall have objected within fifteen (15) Business Days after a written request for such consent by Acquirer, no settlement or resolution by Acquirer of any claim that gives rise to a claim against the Escrow Fund by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person shall be determinative of the existence of or amount of Indemnifiable Damages relating to such matter. In the event that the Effective Time Holders’ Agent has consented to any such settlement or resolution, neither the Effective Time Holders’ Agent nor any Effective Time Holder shall have any power or authority to object under Section 8.5 or any other provision of this Article 8 to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person against the Escrow Fund or otherwise for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution.

8.9 Exclusive Remedy. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the Closing occurs, the remedies provided for in this Article 8 shall be the Indemnified Persons’ sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any claims relating to this Agreement or any other document, certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, except in connection with (a) pursuing remedies under applicable Legal Requirements for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (b) any noncompete agreement, nonsolicitation or employment agreement contemplated by this Agreement, or (c) bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable relief.

9.5 Entire Agreement; Nonassignability; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the exhibits attached hereto, the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Letter, (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in accordance with its terms, (b) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder (except that Article 8 is intended to benefit Indemnified Persons) and (c) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

9.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Acquirer may, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer or in connection with any merger, consolidation or sale of all or a significant portion of its assets or in connection with any similar transaction.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law.

The arbitration shall be administered by J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE or its successor (“J.A.M.S.”) pursuant to J.A.M.S.’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The parties agree that any dispute and arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C., Section 1 et seq. Either Acquirer or the Effective Time Holders’ Agent may commence the arbitration process called for by this Agreement by filing a written demand for arbitration with J.A.M.S. and giving a copy of such demand to each of the other parties to this Agreement. The single arbitrator shall be mutually agreed on by Acquirer and the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and selected from J.A.M.S.’s panel of neutrals. If the parties cannot mutually agree within thirty (30) days of the filing of an arbitration demand, the parties agree that an arbitrator may be appointed in accord with the applicable J.A.M.S. rules and procedures then in place relating to the appointment of an arbitrator by J.A.M.S. The parties will cooperate with J.A.M.S. and with each other in promptly selecting the arbitrator from J.A.M.S.’s panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings in order to fulfill the provisions, purposes and intent of this Agreement.

The parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith, and that the parties to the arbitration will bear the expense of deposits and advances required by the arbitrator in equal proportions. The provisions of this Section 9.9 may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement will be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. If for any reason J.A.M.S. or its successor no longer is in business, then the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Upon the conclusion of any arbitration proceedings hereunder, the arbitrator will render findings of fact and conclusions of law and a final written arbitration award setting forth the basis and reasons for any decision reached (the “Final Award”) and will promptly deliver such documents to Escrow Agent, the Effective Time Holders’ Agent and Acquirer, together with a copy of the Final Award signed by the arbitrator.
