risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon
delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange
and cancellation or an affidavit of the fact that such Certificate
has been lost, stolen or destroyed pursuant to
Section 2.12(g) , to the Exchange Agent, together with
such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the
holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange
therefor, (i) promptly thereafter a stock certificate
representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (a
“ Parent Certificate ”) equal to the product of
(A) the number of Company Shares represented by the
surrendered Certificate and (B) the Closing Date Per Share
Merger Consideration (rounded down to the nearest whole share),
(ii) a check representing the amount of any dividends or
distributions then payable pursuant to
Section 2.12(b)(i) , and (iii) at the time set
forth in the Escrow Agreement, a Parent Certificate equal to the
product of (A) the number of Company Shares represented by the
surrendered Certificate and (B) the Indemnity Escrow Fund Per
Share Merger Consideration, if any (rounded down to the nearest
whole share), and upon such
16
surrender the
Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. No
interest will be paid or accrued on any unpaid dividends and
distributions payable to holders of Certificates.
(b) No
dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Parent
Common Stock will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered
Certificate until the holder thereof surrenders such Certificate in
accordance with this Article II . After the surrender
of a Certificate in accordance with this Article II ,
the record holder thereof will be entitled to receive (i) within 10
Business Days thereafter the amount of any dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
theretofore paid, without any interest thereon, with respect to the
whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such
Certificate, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the
amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date
after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date
subsequent to surrender, with respect to whole shares of Parent
Common Stock represented by such Certificate.
(c) If
any Parent Certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in
which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is
registered, it will be a condition to the issuance thereof that the
Certificate so surrendered is properly endorsed (or accompanied by
an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form
for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange pays to
the Exchange Agent, in advance, any transfer or other Taxes
required by reason of the issuance of a Parent Certificate in any
name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate
surrendered, or required for any other reason, or establishes to
the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid
or is not payable.
(d) After
the Effective Time, there will be no transfers on the stock
transfer books of the Company or the Surviving Company of Company
Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates
representing such Company Shares are presented for transfer to the
Exchange Agent, they will be cancelled and exchanged for Parent
Certificates as provided in this Article II , promptly
after receipt of a properly completed letter of
transmittal.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no
certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent
Common Stock will be issued upon the surrender of Certificates for
exchange. Each Shareholder shall only be entitled to such number of
shares of Parent Common Stock rounded down to the nearest whole
number as set forth herein, and no Shareholder shall be entitled to
any fractional shares, or any consideration in lieu thereof, and no
dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock will
be payable on or with respect to any fractional share.
(f) Any
portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the former
Shareholders as of the six month anniversary of the Effective Time
will be paid by the Exchange Agent to Parent. Any former
Shareholders who have not theretofore complied with this
Article II will thereafter look only to Parent for
payment of the shares of Parent Common Stock and any unpaid
dividends and distributions on Parent Common Stock deliverable in
respect of each Company Share that such Shareholder holds
immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case, as
determined pursuant to this Agreement, and without any interest
thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the
Company, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or
any other Person will be liable to any former holder of
17
Company Shares
for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official
pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar
Laws.
(g) In
the event any Certificate has 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 and delivery of a
properly completed letter of transmittal and, if reasonably
required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such
Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may
determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim
that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the
Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock payable
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(h) The
Exchange Agent will invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund,
as directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from
such investments will be for the benefit of and paid to
Parent.

Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent

Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent and the Escrow
Agent shall be entitled, with respect to payments made by each such
entity, to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration and
any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such
amounts as it reasonably determines it is required to deduct and
withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the
Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, the Code, the Israeli
Tax Ordinance or under any other applicable Law, provided that no
withholding or a reduced rate of withholding, as applicable, under
Israeli Tax Law will be made from any consideration payable
hereunder to a holder of Company Shares to the extent that such
Shareholder has provided Parent, the Exchange Agent or the Escrow
Agent with an appropriate unequivocal exemption by the Israeli Tax
Authority confirming that no withholding of Israeli Tax is required
with respect to the particular Shareholder in question, prior to
the time such payment is made. To the extent that amounts are so
withheld by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or
the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall
be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid
to the Shareholders, in respect to which such deduction and
withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange
Agent or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be. Any amounts deducted
and withheld pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be
remitted to the appropriate Tax authority in accordance with
applicable Law.
Section 2.15 Shareholder Representative
.
(a) The
Shareholders shall at all times maintain a representative (the
“ Shareholder Representative ”) for purposes of
taking certain actions and giving certain consents on behalf of the
Shareholders, as specified herein. Pursuant to the Company
Shareholder Agreement, the Major Shareholders appointed Thomas,
McNerney Representative, LLC, as the initial Shareholder
Representative, and immediately upon the approval of this Agreement
by the
18
requisite vote
or written consent of the Shareholders, each other Shareholder
shall be deemed to have consented to such appointment (or any
applicable successor) and the terms hereof. Another person shall be
appointed as the Shareholder Representative if the person so
designated (or any successor thereof) is unwilling or unable to so
act. Actions taken, consents given and representations made by the
Shareholder Representative pursuant hereto shall be final, binding
and conclusive upon the Shareholders, including all actions under
Article VII and under the Escrow Agreement and the
Company Shareholder Agreement. This appointment and grant of power
and authority by each Shareholder is coupled with an interest and
is irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any
Shareholder or by operation of Law, whether by the death or
incapacity of any individual Shareholder, or by the occurrence of
any other event. The Shareholder Representative is entitled to
authorize delivery to the Parent Indemnified Parties of the funds
or other property from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in satisfaction of
claims by the Parent Indemnified Parties, to agree to, negotiate,
enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders
of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims,
and to take all actions on behalf of all of the Shareholders deemed
necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder
Representative to accomplish the foregoing or to facilitate or
administer the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
Escrow Agreement and the Company Shareholder Agreement, including,
without limitation, executing such other documents or instruments
as the Shareholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate,
provided however, that no such action may incur additional
liabilities on the Shareholders, other than as set forth in this
Agreement. The Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any decision,
act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative as
being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every
Shareholder. The Shareholder Representative may resign at any time,
and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or
written consent of Shareholders holding a majority of the aggregate
Company Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time. No bond shall be required
of the Shareholder Representative.
(b) The
Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to the Shareholders
for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
Shareholder Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except to the extent
such actions shall have been determined in a final and
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have constituted willful misconduct or Fraud. Except in cases where
a court of competent jurisdiction has made such a finding in a
final and non-appealable judgment, the Shareholders shall jointly
and severally indemnify and hold harmless, first from the Indemnity
Escrow Fund (if any, after payment of all claims to which the
Parent Indemnified Parties are entitled to payment pursuant to
Article VII ) and thereafter directly, the Shareholder
Representative from and against any and all Damages (including
reasonable legal and expert fees and expenses incurred by the
Shareholder Representative in investigating or defending (including
any appeal) any claim for indemnification made against the
Shareholders or Major Shareholders), arising out of and in
connection with his or her activities as Shareholder Representative
under this Agreement, the Company Shareholder Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement or otherwise.
(c) The
approval of this Agreement by the requisite vote or written consent
of the Shareholders shall also be deemed to constitute approval of
all arrangements relating to the transactions contemplated hereby
and to the provisions hereof binding upon the Shareholders,
including, without limitation, those set forth in
Article VII . All actions taken, consents given
and
19
representations
made by the Shareholder Representative pursuant hereto shall be
binding upon the Shareholders after the Closing, including all
actions under Article VII and under the Escrow
Agreement.

Section 3.11 Intellectual Property .

Property including registered and material unregistered Marks,
Patents and registered Copyrights, including any pending
applications to register any of the foregoing, owned (in whole or
in part) by or exclusively licensed to Parent or either of the
Parent Subs, identifying for each whether it is owned by or
exclusively licensed to Parent. Schedule 3.11 of the Parent
Disclosure Schedule lists the record owner of each such item of
Intellectual Property, and the jurisdiction in which each such item
of Intellectual Property has been issued or registered or in which
each such application for the issuance or registration of such item
of Intellectual Property has been filed. The Parent Intellectual
Property includes all Intellectual Property necessary and
sufficient to enable Parent to conduct its business as it is
currently and proposed to be conducted. To the Knowledge of Parent,
the Parent Intellectual Property Rights are valid and
enforceable.
(b) No
registered Mark identified on Schedule 3.11 of the
Parent Disclosure Schedule has been or is now involved in any
opposition or cancellation proceeding and, to the Knowledge of
Parent, no such proceeding is or has been threatened with respect
to any of such Marks. No Patent identified on
Schedule 3.11 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule has
been or is
26
now involved in

Knowledge of Parent, no such proceeding is or has been threatened
with respect to any of such Patents.
(c) Parent
is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in
and to, free and clear of any and all liens, licenses (royalty
bearing or royalty-free), obligations or other Encumbrances to
others requiring payment to any Person or any obligation to grant
any right to any Person, of all Intellectual Property identified on
Schedule 3.11 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule and all
other Intellectual Property used in Parent’s business, other
than Intellectual Property that is licensed to Parent by a third
party licensor pursuant to a written license agreement that remains
in effect. Parent has valid licenses to all material software and
technology and other material Intellectual Property that is
licensed to Parent by a third party licensor and used by Parent in
the ordinary course of business, free and clear of all
Encumbrances, except to the extent such a failure is the result of
a defect in the license of the third party owner. Parent has not
received any notice or claim challenging Parent’s ownership
of any of the Intellectual Property owned (in whole or in part) by
Parent, nor to the Knowledge of Parent is there a reasonable basis
for any claim that Parent does not so own any of such Intellectual
Property.
(d) Parent
has taken all reasonable steps in accordance with standard industry
practices to protect its rights in its Intellectual Property and at
all times has taken adequate security measures to protect the
secrecy, confidentiality and value of all information that
constitutes or constituted a Trade Secret of Parent and any other
confidential information. To the Knowledge of Parent, during the
most recent two years, there have been no material unauthorized
disclosures of Parent’s trade secrets and non-public
proprietary information to a third party. All current and former
employees and consultants of Parent have executed and delivered
proprietary information, trade secret and confidentiality and
assignment agreements substantially in Parent’s standard
forms. In addition, all current and former employees and
consultants involved in research or development for Parent or who
otherwise develop or conceive of any Intellectual Property for or
on behalf of Parent have executed and delivered enforceable
Contracts that assign to Parent all such employee’s or
consultant’s rights, title and interests in any Intellectual
Property conceived, developed, authorized or reduced to practice by
such employee or consultant relating to the business of Parent. To
the Knowledge of Parent, no current employee or consultant of
Parent is in default or breach of any material term of any such
Contract with Parent.
(e) All
registered Marks, issued Patents and registered Copyrights
identified on Schedule 3.11 of the Parent Disclosure
Schedule (“ Parent Registered IP ”) are valid
and subsisting and, to the Knowledge of Parent, enforceable, and
Parent has not received any notice or claim or cease-and-desist
letters or invitations to license patent letters or written threats
from any third party challenging the validity or enforceability of
any Parent Registered IP or alleging any misuse of such Parent
Registered IP. Parent has not taken any action or failed to take
any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the
abandonment, cancellation, forfeiture, relinquishment, invalidation
or unenforceability of any Parent Registered IP (including the
failure to pay any filing, examination, issuance, post registration
and maintenance fees, annuities and the like and the failure to
disclose any known material prior art in connection with the
prosecution of patent applications). All necessary registration,
maintenance, renewal and other relevant filing fees in connection
with Parent Registered IP have been paid and all
necessary
27
documents,
certificates and other relevant filings in connection with Parent
Registered IP have been timely filed with the relevant patent,
trademark, copyright or other relevant authorities in the United
States or other jurisdictions, for the purpose of maintaining
Parent Registered IP in the relevant jurisdiction.
(f) To
Parent’s Knowledge, the development, manufacture, sale,
distribution or other commercial exploitation of products, and the
provision of any services, by or on behalf of Parent or either of
the Parent Subs, and all of the other activities or operations of
Parent or either of the Parent Subs, have not interfered with,
infringed upon, misappropriated, violated, diluted or constituted
the unauthorized use of, any Intellectual Property of any third
party. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11(f) of the
Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither Parent nor either of the Parent
Subs has received any notice or claim or cease-and-desist letters
or invitations to license patent letters or written threats from
any third party asserting or suggesting that any such infringement,
misappropriation, violation, dilution or unauthorized use is or may
be occurring or has or may have occurred, nor to the Knowledge of
Parent, is there a reasonable basis therefor. No Intellectual
Property owned by or licensed to Parent or either of the Parent
Subs is subject to any outstanding Order or Contract restricting
the use or licensing thereof by Parent or either of the Parent
Subs. To the Knowledge of Parent, no third party is
misappropriating, infringing, diluting or violating any
Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed to Parent in
a material manner.
(g) Neither
Parent nor either of the Parent Subs has transferred ownership of,
or granted any exclusive license with respect to, any material
Intellectual Property. No loss or expiration of any of the material
Intellectual Property used by Parent in the conduct of its business
is threatened, pending or reasonably foreseeable.
(h) To
the Knowledge of Parent, Parent’s business does not
constitute unfair competition or trade practices and Parent has not
engaged and does not engage in any false or misleading advertising
or practices under the Laws of any jurisdiction in which Parent
operates or markets any of its products or services.
(i) Parent
and each of the Parent Subs maintains policies and procedures
regarding data security and privacy that are in compliance with all
applicable Laws. To the Knowledge of Parent, there have been no
security breaches relating to violations or any security policy or
any unauthorized access of any data or information of
Parent’s software or technology systems in the last two
years. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on
Parent, the use and dissemination by Parent of any and all data or
information concerning individuals is in compliance with all such
privacy policies and applicable Laws, including HIPAA, and with
respect to Parent and Merger Sub, the transactions contemplated to
be consummated hereunder as of the Closing will not violate any
such privacy policies or Laws.
