1.11    No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock.

contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to make any payments, other than the payment of customary filing fees, in connection with the fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 4.7; and (ii) the Parent and its affiliates shall not be required to, and the Company and its affiliates may not, without the prior written consent of the Parent, sell, divest, hold separate, transfer or dispose of, before or after the Closing, any assets, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of the Parent, the Company, or of any of their respective affiliates.

4.8    Employment Arrangements.

(a)    Each employee of the Company or its subsidiaries who remains an employee of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of the subsidiaries of the Company after the Closing Date shall be referred to hereafter as a “Continuing Employee.” Beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, or for such greater period as shall be required by applicable law, Parent shall provide each Continuing Employee with total cash compensation (including base salary and bonus and commission opportunity) that is no less favorable in the aggregate than such Continuing Employee’s total cash compensation immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, beginning on the Closing Date and continuing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, or for such greater period as shall be required by applicable law, Parent shall maintain (or cause its subsidiaries to maintain) a severance pay plan, program or practice for the benefit of each Continuing Employee providing benefits to the Continuing Employees that are equal to the severance pay plan, program or practice maintained by Parent or its subsidiaries for similarly situated employees. Parent shall allow the Continuing Employees to participate in employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by Parent or any ERISA Affiliate for Parent’s current employees (each a “Parent Benefit Plan”) that in all material respects are no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits as in effect for other similarly situated employees of Parent immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, that Parent may in its sole discretion elect to continue one or more Company Employee Plans (including any International Employee Plan), in lieu of providing for such participation under a Parent Benefit Plan of a similar type. For example, Parent may elect to continue group health insurance coverage for Continuing Employees under a Company Employee Plan rather than move Continuing Employees onto a group health insurance plan of Parent. Any such decision by Parent to continue a Company Employee Plan in lieu of providing for participation under a Parent Benefit Plan of a similar type shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 4.8(a).

(b)    Following the Closing, Parent shall give each Continuing Employee full credit for prior service with the Company and its subsidiaries for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting (if applicable) under any employee benefit plans maintained by Parent or its affiliates and (ii) determination of benefit levels under any employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or Parent or their affiliates or any policy relating to future vacation (but excluding benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan), in each case for which the Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible and in which the Continuing Employee is offered participation, but not where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. With respect to any Parent Benefit Plan that is a welfare benefit plan, Parent will (x) ensure that its third party insurance carriers shall cause to be waived any eligibility requirements or pre-existing condition limitations and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize for purposes of annual

deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs with respect to similar plans maintained by Company.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Parent or the Surviving Corporation to employ any Continuing Employee for any length of time following the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.8, nothing in this Section 4.8 is intended to prevent Parent from terminating any of its benefit plans from time to time or changing the form of benefits provided to the Continuing Employees after the Closing Date. No Person is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 4.8 and no provision of this Section 4.8 constitutes an amendment to any Parent Benefit Plan.

4.9    Tax Matters.

(a)    Preparation of Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Returns for the Company and its subsidiaries required to be filed after the Closing Date, and shall timely remit, or cause to be remitted, to the appropriate Governmental Authority all Taxes reflected on such Returns. To the extent such Returns include any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (i) such Returns shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and consistent with past practices of the Company as reasonably determined by Parent and (ii) Parent shall provide the Securityholder Representative with a copy of each such proposed Return (and such additional information regarding such Return as may reasonably be requested by the Securityholder Representative) for review and comment for a reasonable period prior to the filing of such Return, in the case of income Returns, and in such period of time prior to filing as Parent shall reasonably determine to be practicable in the case of other Returns. Parent shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments of the Securityholder Representative with respect to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or with respect to a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent the Escrow Participants are materially harmed, no failure by Parent to provide the review and comment periods set forth in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 4.9(a) shall result in any loss or diminution of Parent’s rights contained in Article VI.

(b)    No Amended Returns. Unless necessary in Parent’s reasonable judgment to avoid the imposition of penalties, Parent shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company or its subsidiaries to, amend any previously filed Return of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent the Escrow Participants are materially harmed, no failure by Parent to comply with this Section 4.9(b) shall result in any loss or diminution of Parent’s rights contained in Article VI.

(c)    Cooperation.    Parent and the Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Escrow Participants, shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with (i) the filing of any Returns of or with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective operations, and (ii) any audit, examination, voluntary disclosure or other administrative or judicial proceeding, contest, assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment with respect to Taxes of the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective operations (a “Tax Contest”). Any Tax Contest shall be treated as a Third Party Claim for purposes of Section 6.4(e).

Such cooperation shall include taking all commercially reasonable and legally permissible actions to minimize the amount of any applicable Tax, obtaining and providing appropriate forms, retaining and providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Return or Tax Contest, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder.

(d)    Tax Attributes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Escrow Participants shall not have any liability to Parent of the Surviving Corporation if any Tax attributes of the Company (including, but not limited to, net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers, adjusted basis or credits) are not available to the Surviving Corporation or their affiliates for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

(e)    Tax Sharing Agreements. With the exception of customary commercial leases or contracts entered into the ordinary course of business that are not primarily related to Taxes and liabilities thereunder, to the extent directed in writing by Parent, in Parent’s sole discretion, at least two (2) days prior to the Closing Date, any Tax sharing, indemnification or allocation agreement, arrangement, practice or policy to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and none of the Company or its subsidiaries shall have any liability or obligation pursuant thereto.

(f)    Allocation of Taxes. Transactions that occur on the Closing Date but after the Closing and that are not incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Company or its subsidiaries and are not contemplated by this Agreement shall be considered to be attributable to the period that commences on the day following the Closing Date. Neither Parent nor the Company shall make an election pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) to allocate items for the year including the Closing Date ratably between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning on the day after the Closing Date.

4.10    Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a)    From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless those Persons who are, or were at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, directors and officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to observe all rights to advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company existing in favor of the D&O Indemnified Persons, in each case to the extent provided under the Charter Documents and the indemnification agreements between the Company and any D&O Indemnified Person as in effect on the date hereof to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware Law, and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall have provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the D&O Indemnified Persons no less favorable than those set forth in the Charter Documents until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs.

(b)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement for the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Current Policy”) for the D&O Indemnified Persons (the “Tail Policy”). The

The Tail Policy purchased by the Company shall provide the D&O Indemnified Persons with coverage for six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and shall contain terms and coverage amounts at least as favorable as the terms and coverage amounts of the Current Policy. For the period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain, or cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain, as applicable, such Tail Policy in full force and effect for its full term and Parent shall not permit the Surviving Corporation to cancel or amend the Tail Policy.

(c)    If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of the Company’s subsidiaries (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successor and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or such subsidiary, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations of this Section 4.10.

(d)    The provisions of this Section 4.10 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the D&O Indemnified Persons by law, charter, statute, by-law or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons, their heirs and their representatives.

4.11    Company Debt. No fewer than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide to Parent a statement (the “Closing Debt Statement”) setting forth: (a) a complete and correct list of the obligees of all Company Debt, (b) the amount of all such Company Debt owed to each such obligee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, specifying the principal, penalties, interest and premiums necessary to satisfy and discharge all obligations in respect thereof on the Closing Date, and (c) wire instructions for each such obligee.

At the Closing, Parent or the Paying Agent shall pay the Company Debt set forth on the Closing Debt Statement on behalf of the Company.

4.12    No Negotiation. From and after the date hereof and until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, facilitate or encourage the initiation of any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction; (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations or enter into any Contract with, or provide any non‑public information to, any Person (other than Parent) relating to or in connection with a possible Acquisition Transaction; or (c) consider, entertain or accept any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction.

The Escrow Fund shall be partial security for the indemnity obligations provided for in Section 6.2 hereof. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VI.

(b)    Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Period. Subject to

CONFIDENTIAL


the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. Boston time on the Expiration Date (the “Escrow Period”); provided, however, that the Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to any Losses claimed in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Securityholder Representative prior to 11:59 p.m. Boston time on the Expiration Date to the extent such claims remain unresolved (the Losses with respect to such unresolved claims, the “Unresolved Losses”). Promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall disburse any funds remaining in the Escrow Fund, but excluding an amount equal to the Unresolved Losses, to the Escrow Participants. As soon as the Escrow Agent receives written notice that any claim for Unresolved Losses has been resolved in accordance with Section 6.4(d), the Escrow Agent shall deliver the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy such claims to the Escrow Participants. Deliveries of amounts out of the Escrow Fund to the Escrow Participants pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) shall be made in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portions of the remaining Escrow Fund, with the amount of cash delivered to each Escrow Participant rounded down to the nearest cent.

6.4    Indemnification Claims.

(a)    Threshold Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 6.4(a), an Indemnified Party may not recover any Losses under Section 6.2(a)(i) or Section 6.2(a)(ii) unless and until such Losses exceed the Threshold Amount, in which case the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses so identified without regard to the Threshold Amount from the first dollar of such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover for, and the Threshold Amount shall not apply as a threshold to, any and all claims or payments made with respect to Losses (i) incurred pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) or (xi) of Section 6.2(a), (ii)  resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty contained in any Fundamental Representation or the Tax Representation, or (iii) related to any fraud.

(b)    Claims for Indemnification. In order to seek indemnification under Section 6.2(a)(i) or Section 6.2(a)(ii), Parent shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to be received by the Securityholder Representative and, if such claim involves a claim against the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent at any time on or before 11:59 p.m. Boston time on the Expiration Date; provided, however, Parent may seek indemnification for a breach or inaccuracy of a representation and warranty of the Company contained in (1) any Fundamental Representation following the Expiration Date by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Securityholder Representative on or before the expiration of the applicable Survival Date and (2) any Tax Representation following the Expiration Date by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Securityholder Representative on or before the expiration of the applicable Survival Date by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Securityholder Representative on or before the expiration of the applicable Survival Date. In addition, the Indemnified Parties may seek indemnification for or with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) or (xi) of Section 6.2(a) or for Losses related to any fraud (i) during the Escrow Period by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Securityholder Representative and, to the extent any amount remains in the Escrow Fund and such claim involves a claim against the Escrow Fund, to the Escrow Agent, or (ii) following the expiration of the Escrow Period by delivering an Officer’s Certificate to the Securityholder Representative. Unless the Securityholder Representative shall have delivered an


- 62 -

105132706 v11


CONFIDENTIAL


Objection Notice pursuant to Section 6.4(c) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall, on the first Business Day after the 30th day after its receipt of the Officer’s Certificate, deliver to the Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the Losses set forth in such Officer’s Certificate. Any payment from the Escrow Fund to Indemnified Parties shall be made in cash, and shall be deemed to have been made pro rata amongst the Escrow Participants based on their respective Pro Rata Portions of the Escrow Amount. For the purposes hereof, “Officer’s Certificate” shall mean a certificate signed by any officer of Parent stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained or incurred, or reasonably expects that it will have to pay, sustain or incur Losses and (x) providing the amount of any Losses actually paid, sustained or incurred, specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, sustained or incurred, and the nature of the breach of representation, warranty or covenant or other indemnity to which such item is related or (y) providing an estimate of any Losses reasonably expected to be paid, sustained or incurred, specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the basis for such expected liability and the estimation thereof, and the nature of the breach of representation, warranty or covenant or other indemnity to which such item is related. For the avoidance of doubt, estimated Losses shall only be provided to preserve claims that would otherwise expire and to determine any amounts of Unresolved Losses to be retained in the Escrow Account following the Expiration Date pursuant to Section 6.3(b) to satisfy any unsatisfied claims. No amounts shall be payable with respect to any Losses until such Losses have been actually paid, sustained or incurred by the Indemnified Party, agreed to by the Securityholder Representative or determined by a final, nonappealable order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)    Objections to Claims for Indemnification. No payment shall be made from the Escrow Fund under Section 6.4(b) if the Securityholder Representative shall object to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate in a written statement labeled “Objection Notice” (an “Objection Notice”), and such Objection Notice shall have been received by Parent and the Escrow Agent prior to 11:59 p.m. Boston time on the thirtieth (30th) day after its receipt of the Officer’s Certificate. If the Securityholder Representative does not object in writing within such 30-day period, payment in respect of such Losses shall thereafter be made from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 6.4(b).

(d)    Resolution of Conflicts.

(i)    In case the Securityholder Representative delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 6.4(c), the Securityholder Representative and Parent shall, for a period of 60 days, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Securityholder Representative and Parent should so agree, and such claim involves a claim against the Escrow Fund, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

(ii)    If such claim is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Securityholder Representative of an Objection Notice, either the Securityholder Representative or the Indemnified Party may submit the contested portion of the indemnification claim to binding arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration


- 63 -

105132706 v11


CONFIDENTIAL


Rules and Procedures then in effect. Arbitration will be conducted by one (1) arbitrator, mutually selected by Parent and the Securityholder Representative; provided, however, that if Parent and the Securityholder Representative fail to mutually select an arbitrator within fifteen (15) Business Days after the contested portion of the indemnification claim is submitted to arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be selected by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect. The parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the arbitration hearing to be conducted within seventy-five (75) days after the appointment of the arbitrator, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the decision of the arbitrator to be furnished within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator’s authority shall be confined to: (A) whether the Indemnified Party is entitled to recover on the indemnification claim (or a portion thereof), and the portion of such indemnification claim the Indemnified Party is entitled to recover and (B) whether either party to the arbitration shall be required to bear and pay all or a portion of the other party’s attorneys’ fees and other expenses relating to the arbitration. The final decision of the arbitrator shall include the dollar amount of the award to the Indemnified Party, if any (the “Award Amount”), and shall be furnished, in writing, to the Parent, the Securityholder Representative, the Indemnified Party and the Escrow Agent, shall constitute a conclusive determination of the issues in question, binding upon the Securityholder Representative, the holders of all Company Capital Stock (other than the holders of Dissenting Shares) and the Indemnified Party. Within three (3) days following the receipt of the final award of the arbitrator setting forth the Award Amount, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the Award Amount.

(e)    Third Party Claims. In the event an Indemnified Party receives notice of a third party claim that Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand for indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (a “Third Party Claim”), Parent shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim, notify the Escrow Agent (if the Third Party Claim is made by Parent prior to the release of the Escrow Fund and may result in a claim against the Escrow Fund) and the Securityholder Representative in writing of such claim (which notice shall describe in reasonable detail, to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the claimed Losses); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Parent in notifying the Securityholder Representative will relieve the Escrow Participants from any obligation under this Article VI, except to the extent such delay actually prejudices the Escrow Participants. Thereafter, Parent shall deliver to the Securityholder Representative promptly, and in any event within 5 Business Days, after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of Parent in notifying the Securityholder Representative will relieve the Escrow Participants from any obligation under this Article VI, except to the extent such delay actually prejudices the Escrow Participants. At any time after receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, the Securityholder Representative may, upon written notice thereof to Parent, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent so long as (i) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and the Third Party Claim does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal Action and (iii) the Third Party Claim, taken together with all other then pending Third Party Claims, is not reasonably expected to result in indemnifiable Losses in excess of 150% of the remaining portion of the Escrow


- 64 -

105132706 v11


CONFIDENTIAL


Amount. If the Securityholder Representative does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided, that if the Securityholder Representative assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Securityholder Representative and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Third Party Claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Escrow Participants be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to or agree to any settlement of such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event that the Securityholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the Escrow Participants shall have no power or authority to object to the amount of any Third Party Claim by Parent. If the Securityholder Representative does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to or agree to any settlement of such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnified Party shall, at the Securityholder Representative’s request and at the Escrow Participant’s expense, reasonably cooperate in the defense of the matter, including making available to the Securityholder Representative all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating therefore as is reasonably required by the Securityholder Representative, subject to such reasonable confidentiality requirements as the Indemnified Party may request and any applicable privilege protections.

(f)    Claims Not Involving Third Parties. If an Indemnified Party wishes to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI that does not involve a Third Party Claim, Parent shall deliver to the Securityholder Representative a written notice of such claim. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by Parent of the applicable notice, the Securityholder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4(d)(ii).

6.5    Securityholder Representative.

(a)    By virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the requisite vote of the Stockholders, each of the Stockholders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Paul Ferri as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Securityholder Representative for and on behalf of the Escrow Participants to take all actions under this Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement that are to be taken by the Securityholder Representative, including to amend this Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement, to waive any provision of this Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement, to negotiate payments due pursuant to this Article VI, to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of,

105132706 v11


CONFIDENTIAL


and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party against any Escrow Participant or by any such Escrow Participant against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Escrow Participant, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Stockholders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of at least a two-thirds interest of the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Securityholder Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. In the event a vacancy in the position of Securityholder Representative exists for thirty (30) or more days, Parent shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Escrow Participants, to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a replacement Securityholder Representative. No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Representative, and the Securityholder Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the Securityholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Escrow Participants.

(b)    All decisions and actions of the Securityholder Representative on behalf of the Escrow Participants shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside of this Agreement and shall be binding upon all Escrow Participants, and no Escrow Participant shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(c)    The Securityholder Representative represents and warrants to Parent and to the Escrow Agent that it has the irrevocable right, power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement.

(d)    Until notified in writing by the Securityholder Representative that it has resigned, or that it has been removed by at least two-thirds in interest of the Escrow Fund, Parent and the Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and act upon the directions, instructions and notices of the Securityholder Representative named above and, thereafter, upon the directions, instructions and notices of any successor named in a writing executed by a majority-in-interest of the Escrow Fund filed with the Escrow Agent.

(e)    The Company, the Escrow Participants and the Stockholders each hereby authorize the Securityholder Representative to:

(i)    Receive all notices or documents given or to be given to the Escrow Participants or the Stockholders pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or therewith and to receive and accept services of legal process in connection with any suit or proceeding arising under this Agreement;

(ii)    Engage counsel, and such accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby as the Securityholder Representative may in its sole discretion deem appropriate; and


- 66 -

105132706 v11


CONFIDENTIAL


(iii)    Take such action as the Securityholder Representative may in its sole discretion deem appropriate in respect of: (A) waiving any inaccuracies in the representations or warranties of Parent or Sub contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered by Parent or Sub pursuant hereto; (B) taking such other action as the Securityholder Representative is authorized to take under this Agreement; (C) receiving all documents or certificates and making all determinations, in its capacity as Securityholder Representative, required under this Agreement; and (D) all such actions as may be necessary to carry out any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the defense and/or settlement of any claims for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article VI and any waiver of any obligation of Parent or the Surviving Corporation. The provisions of this Section 6.5 are independent and severable, are irrevocable (subject only to Section 6.5(b)) and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Escrow Participant may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Escrow Participant, and any references in this Agreement to a Escrow Participant shall mean and include the successors to the rights of each applicable Escrow Participant hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

(f)    At the Effective Time, Parent shall pay the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount to the Securityholder Representative, which Securityholder Representative Expense Amount shall be maintained by the Securityholder Representative in a segregated account. The Securityholder Representative shall not be paid any fee for services to be rendered hereunder but shall be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of the Securityholder Representative’s duties (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) under this Agreement from the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount and, if the remaining Securityholder Representative Expense Amount is insufficient to pay such expenses, from the first proceeds from Future Payments otherwise available for distribution to the Escrow Participants. Upon the determination of the Securityholder Representative that retaining any portion of the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount is no longer necessary, the Securityholder Representative shall deliver any then remaining portion of the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount (the “Securityholder Representative Account Payment”) to the Paying Agent, which will promptly pay (i) to each holder of Company Capital Stock converted pursuant to Section 1.6(b) a portion thereof equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Securityholder Representative Account Payment and (ii) to each holder of a Company Option a portion thereof equal to such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Securityholder Representative Account Payment (which amount shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation to such holder with the first payroll payment after the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of such amount and shall be subject to any applicable withholding as provided in Section 1.6(d)). The Securityholder Representative shall hold, invest, reinvest and disburse the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount in trust for all of the Escrow Participants, and the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount shall not be used for any other purpose; provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative may, in his sole discretion, and at any time or from time to time, disburse up to $100,000 from the Securityholder Representative Expense Amount to Murali Aravamudan solely for the purpose of paying or reimbursing reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any dispute regarding the Securityholder Earnout Agreements.

CONFIDENTIAL


(g)    The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Securityholder Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Escrow Participants shall indemnify the Securityholder Representative and hold the Securityholder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Securityholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Securityholder Representative. Any such claim for indemnification shall be satisfied first from any then available portion of the remaining Securityholder Representative Expense Amount and, if such amount is insufficient to satisfy any such loss, liability or expense, from the first proceeds from Future Payments otherwise available for distribution to the Escrow Participants or by a claim against the Escrow Participants (with each Escrow Participant liable for the Pro Rata Portion of any such claim that is represented by such Escrow Participant’s Company Capital Stock and Company Equity Awards). A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of the Escrow Participants and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Escrow Participants; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Escrow Participants. The Escrow Agent, Parent, Sub and each of their respective affiliates are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative.

(h)    Solely to the extent required to validate the calculation of Losses set forth on any Officer’s Certificate or to defend a Third Party Claim pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 6.4(e), the Securityholder Representative shall have reasonable access to relevant information about the Company and Parent and the reasonable assistance of the Company’s and Parent’s employees for purposes of performing the Securityholder Representative’s duties and exercising the Securityholder Representative’s rights hereunder; provided, that the Securityholder Representative shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about the Company to anyone except (i) in connection with any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and (ii) on a need-to-know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially and execute a customary non-disclosure agreement in the form provided by the Parent.

6.6    Maximum Payments; Remedy.

(a)    Except as set forth in Sections 6.6(b) and 6.6(c) hereof, the maximum amount an Indemnified Party may recover from the Escrow Participants pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 6.2 hereof shall be limited to the Escrow Amount.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of any Person in respect of Losses arising out of any fraud committed by such Person (it is agreed and understood that the Survival Date and the Threshold Amount shall not apply in respect of any such Losses).

(c)    Except as set forth in Section 6.6(b), the liability of the Escrow Participants in respect of Losses (i) based on fraud, (ii) incurred pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) or (xi) of Section 6.2(a) hereof, and (iii) arising out of breaches of the representations and


- 68 -

105132706 v11


CONFIDENTIAL


warranties contained in the Fundamental Representations and the Tax Representation, in each case, shall be limited to the portion of the Merger Consideration actually paid to such Escrow Participant (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such Escrow Participant’s Pro Rata Portion of any Future Payment). Except as set forth in Section 6.6(b), in no event shall any Escrow Participant be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any Losses pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof in excess of such Escrow Participant’s Pro Rata Portion of such Loss.

(d)    In no event shall any Escrow Participant be responsible or liable for any Losses or other amounts under this Article VI that are punitive, special or any multiple of damages, except to the extent that such damages are awarded to a third party. Each party shall (and shall cause its affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Losses for which indemnification is provided to it under this Article VI.

(e)    The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be reduced by any related recoveries to which the Indemnified Party is entitled under insurance policies (net of any increase in any premium resulting therefrom) or other related payments received or receivable from third parties. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, and to cause its affiliates to pursue, any insurance claims to which it may be entitled in connection with any Losses it incurs. If an Indemnified Party (or an affiliate) receives any insurance payment in connection with any claim for Losses for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Escrow Participants, it shall pay to the Escrow Participants, within ten (10) days of receiving such insurance payment, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance payments received (after deducting any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in securing such insurance payments), over (ii) the amount of Losses with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Article VI.

6.7    Purchase Price Adjustments. Amounts paid to or on behalf of any person as indemnification under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

6.8    Sole Remedy. Following the Closing, the parties agree that, except for the availability of injunctive or other equitable relief made available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms hereof, and claims arising out of (a) breaches of the representations and warranties contained in the Fundamental Representations and the Tax Representation, (b) clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) or (xi) of Section 6.2(a) hereof and (c) fraud, the rights to indemnification from the Escrow Fund for each Escrow Participant’s Pro Rata Portion of the applicable Losses under this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy that any Indemnified Party will have in connection with the transactions under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any party, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated by this Agreement.

After receipt of the Sufficient Stockholder Vote, no amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by such stockholders without such further approval.

7.4    Extension; Waiver. Parent, on the one hand, and the Company (before the Closing) or the Securityholder Representative (after the Closing), on the other hand, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made by the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein; provided, however, that no failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. For purposes of this Section 7.4, the Escrow Participants agree that any extension or waiver signed by the Securityholder Representative shall be binding upon and effective against all Escrow Participants whether or not they have signed such extension or waiver.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices addressed to the Escrow Agent shall be effective only upon receipt. If any notice or document is required to be delivered to the Escrow Agent and any other person, the Escrow Agent may assume without inquiry that each notice or document was received by such other person when it is received by the Escrow Agent.

8.2    Interpretation. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

8.3    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood

that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic transmission.

8.4    Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the Related Agreements, the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Non-Disclosure Agreement, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein: (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the parties hereto and any attempted assignment without such prior written consent shall be void and of no force or effect; provided, however, that Parent may assign and delegate its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to any merger or otherwise by operation by law.

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

8.6    Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (a) the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity and (b) no party shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any legal proceeding seeking an injunction, order of specific performance or similar order for equitable relief. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the party seeking such remedy has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

8.7    Governing Law; Venue. 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 laws thereof. Subject to Section 6.4(d)(ii), each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any court within the State of Delaware in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the Laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process.

8.8    Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained herein, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only (a) the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered section herein and (b) any other representation or warranty that is contained in this Agreement to the extent the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face to such other representation or warranty. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the ordinary course of business. The parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. All references to dollars or “$” shall refer to U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

8.9    Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

8.10    Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Sections 1.6, 1.7, 4.10 and Article VI relating to the D&O Indemnified Persons, the Indemnified Parties and the Escrow Participants, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

8.12     Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a)    Effective as of the Closing and subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 8.12(a), Parent hereby waives and agrees not to assert, and Parent agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries to waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to any representation after the Closing (any “Post-Closing Representation”) of the Securityholder Representative, any Escrow Participant, any of their respective affiliates or any officer, employee or director of the Securityholder Representative, any Escrow Participant, the Company or any of its subsidiaries (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or any agreement, certificate, instrument or other document executed or delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including any litigation, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding and including any matter regarding the negotiation, execution,

performance or enforceability hereof or thereof) by Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP and any other legal counsel currently representing any Designated Person in connection with this Agreement or any agreement, certificate, instrument or other document executed or delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof) (the “Current Representation”). Nothwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP or any other legal counsel currently representing any Designated Person is representing Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries) at the time such Post-Closing Representation arises, the foregoing waiver with respect to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP or such other legal counsel, as applicable, shall be subject to the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b)    Effective as of the Closing, Parent hereby agrees not to control or assert, and Parent agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries not to control or assert, any attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other similar privilege or protection applicable to any communication between any legal counsel and any Designated Person solely regarding the negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement (the “Specified Privileged Information”) in any dispute between the parties pursuant to this Agreement (but may control and assert such privileges and protections in any third party claim), it being the intention of the parties hereto that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.3 or Section 259 of the DGCL, solely in the case of in any dispute between the parties pursuant to this Agreement the right to waive, assert and otherwise control such Specified Privileged Information shall be (and are hereby) transferred to or retained by (as applicable), and vested solely in, such Designated Person.
