(i) Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and represent the right to receive (i) that fraction of a fully paid and nonassessable share of Magma Common Stock equal to the Common Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the Per Share Contingent Consideration Amount, if any and as may be determined pursuant to Section 2.6 (regarding the Contingent Consideration).

Any Option Exercise Loan shall be made pursuant to a promissory note (with an interest rate that is not less than the minimum rate required to avoid imputed income under Section 1274 of the Code) issued by the holder of such Company Option and shall be secured by the Company Common Stock subject thereto. An Option Exercise Loan may only be in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of such Company Option, which amount may include any applicable taxes incurred by such holder in connection with the exercise of such Company Option.

Each holder will have voting rights with respect to Unvested Magma Shares (and other voting securities) held by Magma on its behalf. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Magma (or its assignee) is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option, vesting schedule or other condition, such that upon termination of service, any Unvested Magma Shares shall be forfeited to the Final Surviving Entity or Magma without compensation to such holder (other than payment of the original purchase price of any Unvested Company Shares converted into Unvested Magma Shares upon repurchase by Magma or the Final Surviving Entity according to the repurchase terms governing such Unvested Company Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger). No Unvested Magma Shares may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by a former holder of Unvested Company Shares or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of such holder, prior to the distribution to such holder of such Unvested Magma Shares in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that Unvested Magma Shares may be pledged as security for a promissory note issued by the holder to the Company to acquire the Company Common Stock solely . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company Options held by the Persons listed on Schedule 2.5(c) shall be vested in full immediately prior to and contingent upon the occurrence of the Effective Time and any rights of repurchase on Company Shares held by such Persons shall lapse in full immediately prior to and contingent upon the occurrence of the Effective Time.

The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Magma (or its assignee) is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option, vesting schedule or other condition, such that upon termination of service, any Unvested Cash shall be forfeited to the Final Surviving Entity or Magma without compensation to such holder (other than payment of the original purchase price of any Unvested Company Shares converted into Unvested Magma Cash upon repurchase by Magma or the Final Surviving Entity according to the repurchase terms governing such Unvested Company Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger). No Unvested Magma Cash may be pledged, encumbered, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by a former holder of Unvested Company Shares or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of such holder, prior to the distribution to such holder of such Unvested Magma Cash in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that Unvested Magma Cash may be pledged as security for a promissory note issued by the holder to the Company to acquire the Company Common Stock.

2.7 Holdback .

(a) Holdback Amount . At the Effective Time, Magma shall withhold the Holdback Amount from the Initial Stock Consideration issued or issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(c) and Section 2.5(d) to the Effective Time Company Shareholders (other than holders of shares of Company Capital Stock which constitute and remain Dissenting Shares), in accordance with each Effective Time Company Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share. Each Effective Time Company Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Amount shall be comprised of both Vested Magma Shares and Unvested Magma Shares, if applicable, in proportion to the number of shares that are vested Company Shares and Unvested Company Shares as of the Effective Time.

(b) Claims for Damages . Claims for Damages shall be made against those shares of Magma Common Stock that comprise the Holdback Amount first against Vested Magma Shares and following the depletion thereof, then against Unvested Magma Shares that comprise the Holdback Amount (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3 hereof). Following depletion of the Holdback Amount, claims for Damages shall be made against those shares of Magma Common Stock that comprise the Contingent Consideration Holdback Amount first against Vested Magma Shares and following the depletion thereof, then against Unvested Magma Shares that comprise the Contingent Consideration Holdback Amount (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3 hereof).

2.8 Surrender of Certificates; Fractional Shares .

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event within five (5) business days thereof, Magma shall, or shall cause the transfer agent for the Magma Common Stock to, mail to each holder of record (including each holder of Company Options as set forth on the Spreadsheet) of a certificate or certificates (or non certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book entry ( “Book Entry Shares” ) in the case of holders of Company Options exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time) which immediately prior to the represented shares of Company Capital Stock (the certificates and Book Entry Share, the “Certificates” ) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” ) in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the transfer agent or

Magma and shall contain such other customary provisions as Magma and the transfer agent may reasonably specify). Upon receipt of the Certificates for cancellation, together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents as Magma and the transfer agent shall reasonably require, Magma shall, subject to the terms of Section 2.7, cause to be delivered to such Effective Time Company Shareholder that portion of the Initial Stock Consideration which such Effective Time Company Shareholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.5(c) and will cause to be delivered to such Effective Time Company Shareholder, that portion of the Contingent Consideration, if any, which such Effective Time Company Shareholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.6(a), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Magma shall cause the transfer agent, as promptly as practicable following the receipt by the transfer agent of the foregoing documents, subject to the terms of Section 2.7, issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate that portion of the Initial Stock Consideration and any other amount payable pursuant to Section 2.5(c) represented by the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate in exchange therefor which the Effective Time Company Shareholder has the right to receive. The transfer agent may in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide to the transfer agent an indemnity agreement or bond following the transfer agent’s customary practice against any claim that may be made against Magma or the transfer agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Capital Stock will be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of Certificates formerly representing such Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as provided herein or by Applicable Law.

(c) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Capital Stock shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Capital Stock are presented to Magma or the Final Surviving Entity, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for that portion of the Initial Stock Consideration and any other amount payable with respect to such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 2.5(c), subject to the terms of Section 2.7.

(d) No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Magma Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a stockholder of Magma. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Magma Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Magma Common Stock multiplied by the Average Magma Stock Price.

2.9 Dissenting Shares . If, in connection with the Merger, holders of Company Capital Stock shall have demanded and perfected dissenters’ rights pursuant to Section 1300 of California Law, none of such Dissenting Shares shall be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Initial Stock Consideration or any other amount payable with respect to such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 2.5(c), but shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to California Law. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of California Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with California Law, as the case may be (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to California Law, as the case may be). In the event that any Effective Time Company Shareholder fails to make an effective demand for payment or fails to perfect its dissenters’ rights as to its shares of Company Capital Stock or any Dissenting Shares shall otherwise lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the consideration issuable pursuant to Article II in respect of such shares as if such shares had never been Dissenting Shares, and Magma shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 2.8, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.8, the portion of the Initial

The Company shall give Magma (i) prompt notice of any exercise of an Effective Time Company Shareholder’s dissenters’ rights in accordance with California Law and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal or dissenters’ rights under such laws. The Company agrees that, except with Magma’s prior written consent, it shall not voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal or exercise of dissenters’ rights in excess of the pro rata portion of the Initial Stock Consideration and any Contingent Consideration to which such Dissenting Shares would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Sections 2.5(c) and 2.6, respectively.

2.10 Tax Withholding. Magma or Magma’s agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Initial Stock Consideration, the Contingent Consideration or other payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Effective Time Company Shareholder or Company Optionholder, the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of foreign, state, local or foreign tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Effective Time Company Shareholder or Company Optionholder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

2.11 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Effective Time, any of the parties hereto reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, then the Company, Magma, the Final Surviving Entity and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

2.12 Tax and Accounting Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Parent and the Company intend that the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger will constitute integrated steps in a single “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties adopt by executing this Agreement. None of the parties hereto will take any action that would be reasonably expected to cause the Integrated Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Magma, Merger Sub or Company makes any representation or warranty with respect to any tax consequences to Magma, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Company or any Company Shareholders arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each party hereto and the Company Shareholders shall rely on their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences to them of such transactions.
