NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

Section 1.1The Merger.At the Effective Time (as defined below), and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.”

Section 1.2Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable, but no later than five (5) business days, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), at the offices of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, 101 Park Avenue, New York, New York, unless another place or date is agreed to by Parent and the Company. The date upon which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a properly completed and executed Certificate of Merger satisfying the requirements of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of such filing being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws.

The Base Merger Consideration, increased or decreased on account of the adjustments set forth in Section 1.10, is referred to as the“Merger Consideration.” The Merger Consideration less the Escrow Amount (as defined below) is hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Merger Consideration.” The Escrow

(i) each share of the capital stock of the Company (“Capital Stock”) held in the treasury of the Company shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto;

(ii) each Stockholder shall have its shares cancelled and extinguished (except for Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) at the Closing and shall only be entitled to receive, for each share of Capital Stock owned immediately prior to the Effective Time, an amount equal to:

(A) at Closing, in the case of each share of Class A common stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), an amount of cash equal to the Common Stock Per Share Initial Merger Consideration;

(B) at Closing, in the case of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series A-1 Preferred”), Series B-1 Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series B-1 Preferred”), Series B-3 Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series B-3 Preferred”), Series C-1 Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series C-1 Preferred”), and Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”), the respective amounts of cash set forth on the Allocation Schedule (as defined below) (collectively, the “Initial Preferred Stock Amount”);

(D) subsequent to the Closing in accordance withSection 1.9, in the case of each share of Series A-1 Preferred, Series B-1 Preferred, Series B-3 Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred and Series D Preferred, the respective amounts of cash set forth on the Allocation Schedule (as defined below).

(iii) Subject to the provisions set forth inSection 1.7, each Option Holder (as defined below) shall be entitled to receive, at the Closing for each In-the-Money Company Option owned immediately prior to the Effective Time, the amount of cash set forth inSection 1.7 below.

(e) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.7Options.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide notice, in accordance with the terms of the applicable employee incentive plan or agreement, to each holder of an Option (as defined inSection 3.3(b) below), each as listed onSection 3.3 of the Company’s Disclosure Schedule hereto (each a “Company Option”), that each such In-the-Money Company Option, upon the Closing, shall be cancelled and extinguished in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the Option Consideration, whether or not then exercisable, payable in accordance withSection 1.6 and thisSection 1.7, subject to required withholding taxes (collectively, the “Option Holder Allocation”). The Option Consideration shall be paid in cash by Parent at the Closing to the Company and, immediately after the Closing, the Company shall pay to each holder of an In-the-Money Company Option (each an “Option Holder”) his or her respective Option Consideration through the Company’s ordinary payroll practices, in settlement of the surrender and cancellation of each such Option.

Such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Option Holder.

(b) “Initial Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration” shall mean the Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration less the Subsequent Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration.

Any dividends, interest, gains or other distribution earned or payable in respect of the Escrow Amount shall be considered part of the Escrow Amount.

Section 1.10Adjustments to the Base Merger Consideration.

(a) The Base Merger Consideration to be delivered at the Closing to the Stockholders shall be subject to the following dollar-for-dollar reductions (or increases, if applicable):

(i) decreased for the amount of any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined below), including, but not limited to, all obligations for borrowed money, however evidenced, and all obligations under notes, bonds, debentures or other similar debt instruments, including but not limited to principal and interest, (“Funded Debt”), outstanding at the Effective Time; provided, however, that for purposes of

clarity Funded Debt will not be deemed to include trade payables, letter of credit obligations or other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and included in Closing Net Working Capital;

(ii) decreased for any amounts owed, owing or payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time or at any time thereafter (but not paid on or before the Effective Time) to, or with respect to, any officer, director, manager, employee, agent, consultant and independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as any similar positions with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regardless of the title) under, pursuant to, or as a result of, (A) any employee benefit or incentive plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any contract, agreement, bonus obligation, payment obligation or other arrangement with or pertaining to such persons, including, but not limited to, but without duplication, the Transaction Bonus Agreements (as defined inSection 3.39(c) below), all amounts set forth onSection 3.39 of the Company’s Disclosure Schedule, any severance arrangements, any retention programs and the like, in each case (in both clauses (A) and (B)) with the amount owed, owing or payable, arising or resulting from or triggered or caused by, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated herein, and specifically excluding any such obligations triggered by actions taken by the Company or Parent after the Effective Time or any such liabilities reflected in Closing Net Working Capital (the “Change of Control Payments”);

(iii) increased or decreased, as the case may be, for the amount set forth inSection 1.11 below based on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet;

(iv) decreased in the amount set forth in the Certificate of Transaction Expenses (as defined below) for any fees and expenses accrued or incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than those covered by item (ii) above), including all legal, accounting, investment banking, tax and financial advisory and all other fees and expenses of third parties (including the fees and expenses of the Broker (as defined below), Miles & Stockbridge P.C. and Pepper Hamilton LLP and all costs and expenses of the Section 382 Study (as defined below)) accrued or incurred in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby not otherwise included in the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Company Transaction Expenses”), other than (x) the cost of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance incurred in accordance withSection 8.11(a), and (y) filing fees in connection with the Antitrust Filings (as defined below) (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) being “Parent Transaction Expenses”); and

(v) increased for any Cash (as defined below) as provided for inSection 1.12 below.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments made underSection 1.10(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall be deemed part of the Merger Consideration, whether such payments are made to the Stockholders or to other Persons in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto covenant and agree that no amount shall be (or is intended to be) included, in whole or in part (either as an increase or a reduction), more than once in the calculation of (including any

component of) the Merger Consideration, Closing Net Working Capital or any other calculated amount pursuant to this Agreement if the effect of such additional inclusion (either as an increase or a reduction) would be to cause such amount to be over- or under-counted for purposes of such calculation. In addition, if as a result of the increase or decrease of the Merger Consideration as a result of an adjustment pursuant to one of the subclauses ofSection 1.10(a) above, there is an additional increase or decrease pursuant toSection 1.10(a)(ii) above, such additional increase or decrease shall be taken into account when calculating the overall adjustment.

Section 1.11Net Working Capital Adjustments.

(a) As at the Closing Date, the Company shall have a Closing Net Working Capital of $3,400,000 (the“Target Amount”).“Closing Net Working Capital”means (a) the sum of the current assets (including accounts receivable) other than Cash of the Company and its Subsidiaries as reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet or Final Closing Balance Sheet, as applicable, and as calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus any Parent Transaction Expenses paid by the Company prior to Closing, minus (b) the sum of the current liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet or Final Closing Balance Sheet, as applicable, and as calculated in accordance with GAAP, but specifically excluding any liabilities for the current portion of any Funded Debt, Change of Control Payments, and Parent Transaction Expenses. For the purposes of this Agreement, “GAAP” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, applied on a consistent basis with past practices as set forth in the Financial Statements (as defined below). Attached hereto asExhibit C is an example of the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital, setting forth the line items included in current assets and current liabilities, as well as the other amounts described in thisSection 1.11(a).

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Parent at least five business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), together with the Company’s estimate of Closing Net Working Capital derived therefrom. Parent may review the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and, in connection therewith, have reasonable access to (i) the personnel and records of the Company and (ii) the personnel and work papers related to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. At least two business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, Parent will notify the Stockholder Representative and the Company whether or not it finds such estimate of Closing Net Working Capital reasonably acceptable to it. If Parent fails to notify the Stockholder Representative and the Company of any such objections in writing within such two business day period, Parent will be conclusively deemed to have concurred with the Company’s estimate of Closing Net Working Capital. If the Company’s estimate of Closing Net Working Capital is not reasonably acceptable to Parent and Parent timely notifies the Stockholder Representative and the Company of its objections in accordance with thisSection 1.11(b), Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative and the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly consult with each other in good faith and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve differences in their respective analyses of the estimated Closing Net Working Capital prior to the scheduled Closing Date. If Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Company cannot reach an agreement prior to the scheduled Closing Date on estimated Closing Net Working Capital, estimated Closing Net Working Capital

shall be the midpoint of the estimated Closing Net Working Capital proposed by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative and the Company, on the other hand.

(c) If estimated Closing Net Working Capital is within 20% of the Target Amount (either higher or lower), no adjustment to the Merger Consideration shall be made. If estimated Closing Net Working Capital is more than 20% lower than the Target Amount then the Merger Consideration and any payment by Parent to Stockholders on the Closing Date shall be reduced pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(iii) above by the amount by which the estimated Closing Net Working Capital is more than 20% lower than the Target Amount. If estimated Closing Net Working Capital is more than 20% higher than the Target Amount then the Merger Consideration and any payment by Parent to Stockholders on the Closing Date shall be increased pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(iii) above by the amount by which the estimated Closing Net Working Capital is more than 20% higher than the Target Amount.

(d) Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the consolidated balance sheet of Company and its Subsidiaries, and the notes and schedules thereto (if any) (the“Final Closing Balance Sheet”),together with Parent’s determination of Closing Net Working Capital derived therefrom. The Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(e) The Stockholder Representative may review the Final Closing Balance Sheet and, in connection therewith, have reasonable access to the work papers related to the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, as well as to the Company and Parent personnel responsible for the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet. Within twenty (20) days following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, the Stockholder Representative will notify Parent in writing whether it concurs with Parent’s determination of Closing Net Working Capital or whether it has any objections thereto. If the Stockholder Representative fails to notify Parent of any such objections in writing within such twenty (20) day period, the Stockholder Representative will be conclusively deemed to have concurred with Parent’s determination of Closing Net Working Capital.

(f) If the Stockholder Representative does not concur with Parent’s determination of Closing Net Working Capital and timely notifies Parent of its objections in accordance withSection 1.11(e), Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, shall promptly consult with each other in good faith and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to resolve differences in their respective analyses of the Final Closing Balance Sheet within ten (10) days after the Stockholder Representative notifies Parent of its objections. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve their differences within such ten (10) day period, the matter shall be promptly referred to a mutually satisfactory independent accounting firm (the“Independent Accounting Firm”) who shall resolve such differences within twenty (20) days after the matter is referred to it on the basis of GAAP. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm, including the interpretation of relevant provisions of this Agreement, will be final, binding and conclusive on the parties.

(g) If the Independent Accounting Firm is engaged to resolve differences between the Stockholder Representative and the Parent in accordance withSection 1.11(f), the

fees and expenses of such accounting firm in performing services pursuant toSection 1.11(f)shall be borne equally by Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (subject to reimbursement in accordance with Section 7.8), on the other hand.

(c) The Stockholder Representative may review the statements of account and reconciliation. Within two (2) days following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the statements of account and reconciliation, the Stockholder Representative will notify Parent in writing whether it concurs with Parent’s determination of Closing Cash or whether it has any objections thereto.

Section 1.14Surrender of Certificates.

(a) With respect to all Stockholders other than the Principal Stockholders (“Non-Principal Stockholders”), the Stockholder Representative shall act as payment agent (the “Payment Agent”) in the Merger.

(b) Within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to send to each Non-Principal Stockholder of record of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Capital Stock forms of (i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery of Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and Stockholder Representative shall agree and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the amount of the Merger Consideration payable in exchange therefore (subject to the escrow contribution provisions ofSection 1.9). The Letter of Transmittal shall indicate that applicable withholding Taxes with respect to payments on account of the shares of Common Stock that will be withheld, if required, from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to each holder thereof in connection with the Merger and that other amounts may be withheld from any Non-Principal Stockholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Following the Effective Time and delivery to the Payment Agent of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, together with surrender of a Certificate (or

Certificates) for cancellation, the Non-Principal Stockholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Non-Principal Stockholder is entitled pursuant toSection 1.6 (subject to the escrow contribution provisions ofSection 1.9) and the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be canceled. Following the Effective Time, until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company Capital Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive the portion of Merger Consideration as provided in thisArticle 1.

(c) At the Closing but after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Payment Agent for exchange in accordance with thisSection 1.14 an amount in cash equal to the Initial Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock held by each Non-Principal Stockholder. Any amount remaining with the Payment Agent after the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date shall be remitted to Parent and thereafter any Stockholder shall direct any claims for payment hereunder to Parent.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection 1.14, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable for any amount properly paid to a public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration required pursuant toSection 1.6 (subject to the escrow contribution provisions ofSection 1.9).

(b) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Company and the Stockholders, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Parent’s Indemnified Persons based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, will not be limited or affected by any investigation conducted by Parent or any agent of Parent with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Parent or any agent of Parent at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with or performance of any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

Section 7.5Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Each Parent’s Indemnified Person or Stockholders’ Indemnified Person seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, with reasonable promptness after obtaining knowledge thereof, provide the Stockholder Representative or the Parent, respectively, with written notice of all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands or assessments that may be subject to the indemnification provisions of thisArticle 7 (collectively, “Third Party Claims”), including, in reasonable detail, the basis for the claim, the nature of the Parent’s Damages and a good faith estimate of the amount of such Damages and any and all data and information relating to the claim. Any party against whom a claim for indemnification is to be made under thisArticle 7 is referred to as an “Indemnifying Party.”

(b) The Parent or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, shall have 15 days after its receipt of the claim notice to notify the Indemnified Party in writing whether the Indemnifying Party agrees that the claim is subject to thisArticle 7 and, if so, whether the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably), and at the Indemnifying Party’s sole risk and expense, the good faith settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim.

(c) If within 15 days after its receipt of the claim notice, Parent or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake the good faith settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate reasonably with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith including, without limitation, by making available to the Indemnifying Party all relevant information material to the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, at its expense, and to approve any proposed settlement that would impose any obligation or duty on the Indemnified Party; provided that such participation shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense if a conflict of interest exists. So long as an Indemnifying Party is contesting the Third Party Claim in good faith and with reasonable diligence, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle the Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any Third Party Claim under this subsection (c), provided that in such event it waives any right to indemnification therefor by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If Parent or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, does not provide notice within 15 days that the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake the good faith settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to timely contest the Third Party Claim or undertake or approve settlement, in good faith and with reasonable diligence, the Indemnified Party shall thereafter have the right to contest, settle or compromise the Third Party Claim at its exclusive discretion, at the risk and reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the limits set forth inSection 7.4, and the Indemnifying Party will thereby waive any claim, defense or argument that the Indemnified Party’s settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim is in respect inadequate or unreasonable provided the Indemnified Party shall have conducted the defense or settlement thereof in a manner reasonably satisfactory and intended to limit, to the extent reasonably possible, the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, and no compromise or settlement shall be agreed to or made without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) An Indemnified Party’s failure to give timely notice of a Third Party Claim under thisSection 7.5 will not constitute a defense, in part or in whole, to any claim for indemnification by such Indemnified Party, unless (i) such failure results in any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party (but only to the extent of such prejudice) or (ii) the Indemnified Party fails to provide written notice of any such claim within the applicable survival period pursuant toSection 7.1. An Indemnified Party’s failure to give timely notice of a claim for indemnification will not constitute a defense, in part or in whole, to any claim for indemnification by such Indemnified Party, except if, and only to the extent that, such failure results in any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party (but only to the extent of such prejudice).

Section 7.6Non-Third Party Claims.

(a) Each Indemnified Party shall, with reasonable promptness, deliver to the Stockholder Representative, in the case of a claim for indemnification underSection 7.2, or to Parent, in the case of claim for indemnification underSection 7.3 written notice of all claims for indemnification under this Article 7, other than Third Party Claims, including, in reasonable detail, the basis for the claim, the nature of Damages and a good faith estimate of the amount of Damages and any and all data relating to the claim.

(b) The Parent or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, shall have sixty (60) days after its receipt of the claim notice to notify the Indemnified Party in writing whether the Indemnifying Party accepts or disputes liability, subject to the limits set forth inSection 7.4, for all or any part of the Damages described in the claim notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to accept liability, subject to the limits set forth inSection 7.4, for all the Damages described in the claim notice.

(c) An Indemnified Party’s failure to give timely notice of a claim for any indemnification hereunder will not constitute a defense, in part or in whole, to any claim for indemnification by such Indemnified Party, except if, and only to the extent that, such failure results in any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party (and only to the extent of such prejudice) or the Indemnified Party fails to provide written notice of any such claim within the applicable survival period pursuant toSection 7.1.

Section 7.7Escrow Agreement. So long as the Escrow Agreement continues in effect in accordance with its terms, the Stockholders’ liability for indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied first by payment from the funds held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement, in accordance with the procedures therein.

Section 7.8Stockholder Representative.

(a) Each of the Principal Stockholders by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, and each Stockholder other than the Principal Stockholders, by his, her or its execution of a Letter of Transmittal, shall appoint the Stockholder Representative with full power and authority to execute and deliver any certificates or documents required to be delivered at Closing by the Stockholders, in such capacity on behalf of the Stockholders, and, in all events, all such acts shall be fully effective for all purposes of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative, through its authorized representatives, shall have full power and authority to act in all respects hereunder in its sole discretion, as the sole, true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact of each of the Stockholders, with full power and authority to take all actions contemplated by and exercise all rights to be taken in the name of and for and on behalf of the Stockholders with respect to all matters to be performed or otherwise undertaken by the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Related Documents (including the Escrow Agreement), including, but not limited to, (i) the right to execute and deliver certificates, receipts, documents and papers that may be necessary or deemed advisable by the Stockholder Representative to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents, and generally to act for and in the name and on behalf of each of the Stockholders with respect to the transactions contemplated by

this Agreement and the Related Documents as fully as could each Stockholder if personally present and acting; and (ii) otherwise to take all action that the Stockholder Representative may consider necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents.

(b) Each Stockholder confers and grants to the Stockholder Representative the authority contained herein for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents. All power and authority conferred by the Stockholders to the Stockholder Representative is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; and to the extent not prohibited by law, shall not be terminated by any acts of any of the Stockholders or by operation of law or by occurrence of any event whatsoever, including the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation, termination, bankruptcy or insolvency of any of the Stockholders.

(c) Each Stockholder releases the Stockholder Representative from, and agrees to indemnify the Stockholder Representative against, liability for any action taken or not taken by it in its capacity as such, except for any liability of the Stockholder Representative to a Stockholder for loss which such Stockholder may suffer from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Stockholder Representative.

(d) The Stockholder Representative shall receive no compensation for services rendered as Stockholder Representative, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall receive reimbursement from, and be indemnified by, the Stockholders, pro rata, out of any remaining portions of the Escrow Amount otherwise payable to Stockholders upon termination of the escrow for any and all otherwise unreimbursed Company Transaction Expenses and other liabilities incurred by the Stockholder Representative, whether such Company Transaction Expenses and other liabilities are incurred before, on or after the Effective Time. Unless the Stockholders or the Escrow Agent (with the consent of the Parent upon conclusion of the escrow period) pays all such Company Transaction Expenses and other liabilities upon demand by the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to continue to incur such Company Transaction Expenses and other liabilities, or to continue to perform any duties hereunder. The Stockholder Representative may charge all such Company Transaction Expenses and other liabilities against any payment to which the Stockholders may be entitled under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; provided that the Stockholder Representative gives written notice of the amount of such expenses to Parent or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, at least two (2) business days prior to the date of such payment, and an accounting of how such expenses shall be borne by the Stockholders. Parent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely entirely on any such written notice in reducing the amount of any payments to be made to any Stockholders in respect of any payments.

(a) Until the earlier of the Closing Date and the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.1, neither the Principal Stockholders nor the Company nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, Affiliates, financial advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) shall, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions with any Person other than Parent and its designees: (i) solicit, initiate, entertain or agree to any proposals or offers from any Person relating to (A) any merger, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, (B) the acquisition of beneficial ownership of any equity interest in the Company, whether by issuance by the Company or by purchase (through a tender offer, exchange offer, negotiated purchase or otherwise) from the stockholders of the Company or otherwise, (C) the license or transfer of all or a material portion of the assets of the Company or (D) any transaction that may be inconsistent with or that may have an adverse effect upon the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any of the transactions described in clauses (A) through (D), a “Third-Party Acquisition”); or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate with, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek, a Third-Party Acquisition.

(b) If the Company, Principal Stockholders or any Representative receives an unsolicited inquiry, proposal or offer relating to a Third-Party Acquisition from any Person, the Company and the Stockholder Representative will (i) promptly notify Parent of the same and the details thereof (including the identity of the Person making same) and the Company and Principal Stockholders shall be permitted to provide a response without breaching thisSection8.8;provided that the response is limited to informing the initiator of such inquiry, proposal or offer that the Company is unable to respond further at this time, (ii) provide to Parent a copy of any written inquiry, proposal or offer and all correspondence related thereto, and (iii) keep Parent informed of the status thereof.

(c) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of thisSection 8.8 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties that Parent shall be entitled to an immediate injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of thisSection 8.8 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent may be entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth above by any officer, director, employee, stockholder, agent, advisor, representative or Affiliate of the Company or the Principal Stockholders shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company and the Principal Stockholders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company or its Board of Directors may, prior to the Stockholder Approval, but only to the extent that the Company has not breached its obligations under thisSection 8.8, withdraw or modify its recommendation in any manner to approve the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company shall not take any such action unless the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith determines by a majority vote, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 8.9Tax Matters.

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Company shall not make or change any material election in respect of Taxes, adopt or change any accounting method in respect of Taxes, or enter into any closing agreement with respect to Taxes that could have an impact on the Taxes of the Company after Closing, except with the prior written consent of Parent, which shall not be unreasonable withheld; provided, however, that the Company may file amended Tax Returns if needed to properly reflect any changes of ownership that occurred for purposes of Section 382 of the Code, and any resulting impact on the net operating losses of the Company and Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company will promptly provide or make available to Parent copies of all income Tax Returns, that are filed after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Stockholder Representative shall prepare all income Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries that are due after Closing for income Tax Returns that only include a tax period that began before the Closing Date and end on or before the Closing Date (“Final Tax Returns”), in a manner consistent with past Tax Returns and will provide Parent with a draft of each such Final Tax Return no later than forty-five (45) days before the due date for the filing of such Final Tax Return (taking into account any valid extensions of time for the filing) for Parent’s review and comment. Stockholder Representative shall consider in good faith the comments of Parent. Parent shall cause the Company to reasonably cooperate in the preparation of the Final Tax Returns. Stockholder Representative shall give reasonable advance notice of what cooperation it will require and will coordinate with Parent the logistics thereof. Parent shall cause the Company and Subsidiaries to file the Final Tax Returns in a timely manner.

(e) Parent shall not cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to file any amended Tax Returns for periods that began before Closing without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative.

(f) The Company and Parent will notify Stockholder Representative within 10 days of receipt of a notice of an intention of a Governmental Authority to audit the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to Taxes for a period that began before the Closing Date and end on or before the Closing Date. Stockholder Representative shall have the right to control the audit, and

any related administrative or judicial proceedings, and the settlement of the issues raised on the audit; provided, that no settlement may be entered into without the consent of Parent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(g) Prior to Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a study of the potential changes of ownership prepared for the Company that could give rise to a limitation of the use of the NOL because of an ownership change, as defined under Section 382 of the Code, in the form ofExhibit H hereto (the“Section 382 Study”). The Section 382 Study will address only federal tax laws. If the Section 382 Study determines that there was an ownership change of the Company or its Subsidiaries (whose net operating losses are included in the NOL), other than on October 1, 2003, such that there is a Section 382 limitation on such date, the Company will deliver to Parent its determination of the difference between the net present value of the tax benefit of the NOL as shown onSection 8.9 of the Company’s Disclosure Schedule ( the“Expected Benefit”) and the net present value of the tax benefit of the NOL given the change of ownership shown in the Section 382 Study (the“Revised Benefit”) using the same assumptions and methodology (the“Differential”). Parent shall be deemed to have accepted the Differential unless it provides the Stockholder Representative a written notice of disagreement, specifying the items of disagreement within 10 business days of receipt of the Differential. If Parent agrees with the Differential, Parent shall reduce the amount of the Merger Consideration payable at Closing by the amount of the Differential. If Parent timely provides such notice of disagreement, Parent and Stockholder Representative will negotiate in good faith to resolve the items of dispute. If no agreement is reached within 10 business days of the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of such notice of disagreement, the matter shall be referred to an Independent Accounting Firm who shall be directed to resolve such differences within forty-five (45) days after the matter is referred to it on the basis of the assumptions and methodology set forth onSection 8.9 of the Company’s Disclosure Schedule. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm will be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If the Independent Accounting Firm is engaged to resolve differences between the Stockholder Representative and the Parent in accordance with thisSection 8.9(g), the fees and expenses of such accounting firm in performing services pursuant to thisSection 8.9(g) shall be borne equally by Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (subject to reimbursement in accordance withSection 7.8), on the other hand. Upon determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, the Principal Stockholders shall be liable to the Parent for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent for, the difference between the Expected Benefit and the Revised Benefit, if the Expected Benefit is higher than the Revised Benefit, as finally determined in accordance with thisSection 8.9. Any payments required to be paid pursuant to the prior sentence shall be paid directly by the Principal Stockholders and shall not be paid from, or reduce the amount of, the Escrow Amount. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification provided for under thisSection 8.9(g) shall be the sole remedy for a breach of the representation inSection 3.12(f).

Section 8.10Exercise and Termination of Company Options and Warrants.Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver proper notice to each holder of an Option or a Warrant informing such holder of the effect of the transactions contemplated hereby on the Options and Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action necessary to (i) terminate effective as of the Effective Time the Company Option Plan and (ii) terminate each Option outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing

Date which has an exercise price above the Per Share Merger Consideration. As of the Effective Time, no Options or Warrants shall be outstanding.

Section 8.11Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, at Parent’s cost, the Company shall purchase, and for six years after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, maintain, a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Company Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), which policy shall provide not less than the existing coverage and shall have other terms not materially less favorable to the Company Indemnified Parties than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained covering the Company Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything contained in thisSection 8.11 to the contrary, nothing herein shall obligate Parent or the Company to provide more favorable coverage than that presently maintained by the Company.

(b) For six years after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, indemnify and hold harmless each Company Indemnified Party against (i) all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, judgments or amounts paid in settlement (the “Company Indemnified Liabilities”) in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether pertaining to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date and (ii) all Company Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case to the full extent a corporation is permitted by law to indemnify its own directors and officers (the “Company Indemnified Proceedings”). In the event any Company Indemnified Party is or becomes involved in any Company Indemnified Proceeding, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such Company Indemnified Proceeding to each Company Indemnified Party to the full extent permitted by law upon receipt of any undertaking contemplated by Section 145 of the DGCL or other applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such Company Indemnified Proceeding is brought against any Company Indemnified Party, (i) the Company Indemnified Parties may, upon receipt of written approval by the Parent, retain counsel of their choosing, (ii) Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel for the Company Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received, and (iii) Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the defense of any such matter;provided,however, that none of the Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any settlement of any claim effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and further, provided, that if Parent does approve a Company Indemnified Parties retention of counsel, Parent will undertake the defense of such Company Indemnified Parties at its own expense. Any Company Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under thisSection 8.11(b) upon becoming aware of any such Company Indemnified Proceeding shall promptly notify Parent (but the failure to so notify Parent shall not relieve Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from any liability it may have under this

Section 8.11(b) except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Parent, the Company or any such Subsidiary), and shall deliver to Parent, the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable, the undertaking contemplated by Section 145 of the DGCL or other applicable Law. The Company Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such Company Indemnified Proceeding unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Company Indemnified Parties, in which case, the foregoing limitation shall not apply and, without limitation of the other indemnification obligations of Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries under thisSection 8.11(b), Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of all of the Company Indemnified Parties, including such fees and expenses of such additional law firm(s).

(c) Parent will, and will cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, fulfill and honor all rights to indemnification existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the Company Indemnified Parties, including pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Company Indemnified Party. Following the Closing Date, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Company Indemnified Parties as those contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Company Indemnified Parties.

(d) ThisSection 8.11 (i) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Company Indemnified Parties and their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on Parent, the Company, its Subsidiaries and their successors and assigns and (iii) shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. In the event Parent, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any successor or assign (x) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (y) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that such successor or assign, as the case may be, honors the obligations of Parent or the Company, as the case may be, set forth in thisSection 8.11.

Section 8.12Resignation of Officers and Directors. The Company shall obtain the resignations of all officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent designates in writing, effective as of the Closing Date.

Section 8.13Conditions of the Parent and Merger Sub to Consummate Acquisition. The obligation of the Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions provided for in this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions set forth below, all in form and substance satisfactory to Parent. Parent may, however, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waive the fulfillment of any of these conditions, either before or after the Closing, but any waiver, to be binding upon Parent, must be by a writing duly executed by it. Principal Stockholders shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each condition set forth in thisSection 8.13 to be fulfilled.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Principal Stockholders herein contained and the information contained in the Company’s Disclosure Schedule and the Stockholders’ Disclosure Schedule delivered on the date hereof and in the Related Documents delivered by the Company and the Principal Stockholders shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects at the Closing Date with the same effect as though made at such time (other than those representations and warranties made as of a specific date which would be unreasonable to be brought down to the Closing Date, which representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such date) except to the extent waived hereunder or affected by the transactions contemplated herein; the Company and the Principal Stockholders shall have performed all obligations and complied with all agreements, undertakings, covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by them at or prior to the Closing Date in all material respects; and the Company and the Stockholder Representative shall have delivered to the Parent a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent dated the Closing Date to all such effects.

(b) There shall not be any litigation pending or threatened to restrain or invalidate (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) the right of Principal Stockholders or Parent to carry on the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course and consistent with prior practice after the Closing, the defense of which would, in the judgment of the Parent, made in good faith, involve expense or lapse of time or another factor that would be materially adverse to the interests of the Parent.

(c) There shall not have occurred any events, occurrences, changes, effects or conditions of any character that, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Parent shall have been furnished with evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the Principal Stockholders have obtained the Stockholder Consents and that the Company and its Subsidiaries have obtained the Material Consents and that at the Effective Time all agreements among the Stockholders and/or any holders of Preferred Stock and the Company that relate to Capital Stock (and any rights with respect thereto) shall be terminated, including, but not limited to, those agreements set forth onSection 8.13 of the Company’s Disclosure Schedule.

(e) All approvals, authorizations or clearances required under any applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the Antitrust Filings shall have been obtained and all requirements thereunder shall have been satisfied.

(g) The Company shall have delivered the Section 382 Study.

(h) The Company shall have delivered a list, current as of the Closing, of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries pending work orders, deliverables and acceptance criteria, other than with respect to continuing maintenance obligations.

(i) The Company shall have delivered to Parent a list of each site where Company Products have been installed.

(j) All Liens filed in connection with the Comerica Credit Facility shall have been terminated.

Section 8.14Conditions of the Principal Stockholders to Consummate Acquisition.

The Stockholder Representative may, however, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waive the fulfillment of any of these conditions, either before or after the Closing, but any waiver, to be binding upon Principal Stockholders, must be by a writing duly executed by the Stockholder Representative. Parent shall exert its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each condition set forth in thisSection 8.14 to be fulfilled.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Parent and Merger Sub herein contained and the information contained in the Parent’s Disclosure Schedule and the Related Documents delivered by the Parent and Merger Sub shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects at the Closing Date with the same effect as though made at such time (other than those representations and warranties made as of a specific date which would be unreasonable to be brought down to the Closing Date, which representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such date); Parent and Merger Sub shall have performed all obligations and complied with all agreements, undertakings, covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing Date in all material respects; and the Parent shall have delivered to the Stockholder Representative a certificate of the Parent in form and substance satisfactory to the Stockholder Representative dated the Closing Date to all such effects.

(b) There shall not be any litigation or proceeding pending or threatened to restrain or invalidate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the defense of which would in the judgment of the Principal Stockholders made in good faith, involve expense or lapse of time that would be materially adverse to the interests of the Principal Stockholders.

(d) All approvals, authorizations or clearances required under any applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the Antitrust Filings shall have been obtained and all requirements thereunder shall have been satisfied.
