After the Paying Agent makes such payments to the Surviving Company, any Company Stockholder that has not theretofore delivered a Letter of Transmittal in the applicable form shall, following such date, look only to the Surviving Company for payment of any consideration to which such Company Stockholder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, except with respect to any funds expressly required to be distributed by the Securityholder Representative to the Company Securityholders pursuant toSection 1.8 and in connection with the Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant toSection 1.12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, none of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Company shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

The Escrow Agent will be required to release the Escrow Funds to Buyer or to or as directed by the Securityholder Representative (for the benefit of, and for further distribution to, the Company Securityholders, including by deposit and distribution by the Paying Agent and, with respect to Options and Restricted Shares, payment to the Company for distribution to the holders thereof as of immediately prior to the Effective Time), as applicable, promptly following the final determination of the Purchase Price Adjustment in accordance withSection 1.12 and the joint written instructions delivered to the Escrow Agent, but no later than three (3) Business Days following receipt of such joint written instructions. Buyer shall bear the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent.

(b) Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall treat any disbursement of the Escrow Funds to or as directed by the Securityholder Representative (for the benefit of, and for further distribution to, the Company Securityholders) as (i) additional purchase price for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, except to the extent treated as compensation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, and (ii) composed of an interest element and a principal element, to the extent required by, and determined and reported consistent with, Section 483 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, except to the extent treated as compensation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

(c) This Agreement, when duly executed and delivered by the Parties, constitutes, and each Letter of Transmittal shall provide for, the irrevocable and unconditional approval of the appointment of the Securityholder Representative. Pursuant to such approval, the Securityholder Representative shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Company Securityholders to (i) make all decisions permitted by the Escrow Agreement and Paying Agent Agreement relating to the distribution of any amount payable to Buyer or the Company Securityholders under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement, (ii) give and receive all notices required to be given under or delivered pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement to the Company Securityholders, (iii) take any and all additional action as is contemplated to be taken by or on behalf of the Company Securityholders by the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement, (iv) administer the defense or settlement of any dispute regarding the Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant toSection 1.12(b) or any other claim or dispute for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement, (v) amend, alter or waive any provision of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders and (vi) determine the allocation among the Company Securityholders of any amount payable to the Company Securityholders under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement, including by updating the Consideration Allocation Schedule in connection with any amount payable to the Company Securityholders pursuant toSection 1.8(d) or1.12(d) (provided that such determination shall be made in accordance with the Company Charter, Company Equity Plans, Warrants and any other applicable Contract between the Company and any Company Securityholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time). The Securityholder Representative shall not be responsible to any Company Securityholder for any loss or damage such holder may suffer by reason of the performance by the Securityholder Representative of its duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from fraud or willful misconduct in the performance of such duties. The Company Securityholders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Securityholder Representative from and against all Liabilities, losses, costs,

Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be deemed to have relied upon, all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Securityholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions or omissions will be legally binding upon the Company Securityholders.

(d) An amount equal to $500,000 (the “Expense Holdback”) will be delivered by Buyer to the Securityholder Representative and retained and disbursed by the Securityholder Representative pursuant to thisSection 1.8(d). The Securityholder Representative shall hold the Expense Holdback as an administrative convenience for the benefit only of the Securityholder Representative and the Company Securityholders, and Buyer shall not have any right, title or interest in the Expense Holdback. The Securityholder Representative shall use the Expense Holdback solely to pay, after the Closing Date (on behalf and on account of the Company Securityholders) any cost or expense relating to the transactions contemplated hereby that are the responsibility of the Company Securityholders hereunder. Upon the Securityholder Representative’s determination, in its sole discretion, that no further cost or expense shall be incurred by the Company Securityholders hereunder, the Securityholder Representative shall disburse any remaining amount of the Expense Holdback to the Company Securityholders in accordance withSection 1.6 (including by deposit and distribution by the Paying Agent and, with respect to Options and Restricted Shares, payment to the Company for distribution to the holders thereof as of immediately prior to the Effective Time).

(e) The Securityholder Representative may resign at any time by giving notice to Buyer, the Surviving Company, the Escrow Agent and the Company Securityholders (at their addresses last known to the Securityholder Representative), which resignation shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of such notice. In the event of such resignation, a successor Securityholder Representative shall be appointed by the former Company Securityholders collectively holding, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a majority of the Company Shares.

49

that it will be able to satisfy any term or condition that is required to be satisfied as a condition to the availability or funding of the full amount of the Financing, or that the Financing will not be made available to Parent Guarantor (with respect to the Equity Financing) or Buyer, on the Closing Date and (v) if for any reason Parent Guarantor (with respect to the Equity Financing) or Buyer no longer believes Buyer shall have at the Closing sufficient cash, available lines of credit and other sources of immediately available funds to pay the Required Closing Amount and consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereunder on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the execution, delivery and performance of the Equity Commitment Arrangements by the parties thereto will not relieve Parent Guarantor or Buyer of any of its obligations under thisSection 4.12 unless and until the Equity Financing is consummated in accordance with the Equity Commitment Arrangements and all proceeds thereof are contributed to Buyer.

(c) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing and termination of this Agreement as provided herein, the Company shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to use reasonable best efforts to, provide such cooperation and assistance to Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as is (x) customary for debt financings of the type contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and (y) reasonably requested by Buyer, including the following actions:

55

before the Outside Date, then neither Buyer nor the Company will be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to thisSection 7.1(b) until the fourth Business Day after the Outside Date;provided,further, that no Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to thisSection 7.1(b) during the pendency of a legal proceeding by any other Party for specific performance pursuant toSection 8.14;

(c) by either the Company or Buyer, by written notice to the other, if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued any injunction or other Litigation or Action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and such injunction or other Litigation or Action shall have become final andnon-appealable;

(d) by Buyer, by written notice to the Company, if (i) the Company is in breach of the representations or warranties made by it inArticle 2 or any covenant set forth in this Agreement, (ii) such breach is not cured within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to the Company’s failure to consummate the Closing when required pursuant to this Agreement, five (5) Business Days) of written notice of such breach from Buyer (to the extent such breach is curable) and (iii) such breach, if not cured, would render the conditions set forth inArticle 5 to not be satisfied;provided, however, that Buyer shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to thisSection 7.1(d) if there has been a breach of this Agreement by Buyer that has prevented or would prevent satisfaction of any condition set forth inSection 6.1;

(e) by the Company, by written notice to Buyer, if (i) Buyer is in breach of the representations or warranties made by it inArticle 3 or any covenant set forth in this Agreement, (ii) such breach is not cured within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to Buyer’s or Merger Sub’s failure to consummate the Closing when required pursuant to this Agreement, five (5) Business Days) of written notice of such breach from the Company (to the extent such breach is curable) and (iii) such breach, if not cured, would render the conditions set forth inArticle 6 not to be satisfied;provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to thisSection 7.1(e) if there has been a breach of this Agreement by the Company that has prevented or would prevent satisfaction of any condition set forth inSection 5.1(a) or5.1(b);

56

be limited to reimbursement of expenses orout-of-pocket costs, and will include the benefit of the bargain lost by the Company or the Company Securityholders, taking into consideration relevant matters, including other combination opportunities and the time value of money, which will be deemed in such event to be damages of the Company) by reason of any knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement or Actual Fraud.

7.4Waiver.

8.4Public Announcements; Confidentiality.

(a) The initial press release regarding this Agreement shall be made at such time and in such form as Buyer and the Company agree. If Buyer and the Company cannot agree on the initial press release, then, from the date hereof until the Closing, either such Party shall be permitted to make any disclosure relating to the matters contemplated by this Agreement that may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any exchange to which it is subject;provided that the Party proposing to issue any press release or similar public announcement or communication in compliance with any such disclosure obligation shall use reasonable best efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before doing so. Following the Closing and the initial press release, none of Buyer, the Company, the Securityholder Representative or any of its or their respective Affiliates shall issue or make any subsequent press release or public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby containing any substantive information in addition to that previously permitted to be disclosed pursuant to thisSection 8.4 without the prior consent of Buyer and the Securityholder Representative, except as (a) may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any exchange to which it is subject or (b) consistent with any previous public disclosures regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;provided that the Party proposing to issue any press release or similar public announcement or communication in compliance with any such disclosure obligation shall use reasonable best efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before doing so.

(b) The Confidentiality Agreement is terminated as of the date hereof and is of no further force or effect. During the period from the date hereof through the earlier of (x) two (2) years following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (y) the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, keep the Confidential Information confidential and not disclose any of it to any Person in any manner whatsoever or use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;provided,however, that Buyer may (i) make any disclosure of the Confidential Information to which the Company gives its prior written consent, (ii) disclose any of such information to such Representatives who need to know such information and who are advised of the confidentiality obligations that attach to the Confidential Information (it being agreed that Buyer will be responsible for any violation of the provisions of thisSection 8.4(b) by any of its Representatives), and (iii) disclose that information which, on the advice of counsel, is

60

required to be disclosed by Law or pursuant to a demand of any Governmental Entity (which requirement or demand shall not have been caused by any act of Buyer or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement).

Any assignment in violation of thisSection 8.8 shall be voidab initio.
