(A) “ Total Common
Consideration ” shall mean the greater of (a) Common
Merger Consideration or (b)(i) Applicable Total Consideration,
multiplied by (ii) Common Preference Amount, which product
shall be divided by (iii) Total Preference Amount to which
quotient shall be added (iv) the Applicable Directed Common

Consideration ” shall mean (a) the Series A
Preference Amount plus (b)(i) the Applicable Total Consideration

preceding calculation would result in an amount of Total Series D
Consideration that is greater than $31,250,000, then the conversion
price used to calculate the Fully Diluted Series D Preferred Share
Number in accordance with Company Organizational Documents shall be
adjusted to decrease the Total Series D Consideration to an amount
that equals $31,250,000, but in no event shall the conversion price

shall pay the full Earn-Out Consideration as if it had been
achieved.

Parent, the Representative and the Company, which shall contain all
covenants, conditions and restrictions made applicable to the
shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement or
any of the exhibits hereto (including those contained in Sections

recipient’s receipt of such shares under this Agreement or
any of the exhibits hereto (“ Letter of Transmittal
”), which shall include, among other things, the agreement of
the surrendering Company Stockholders to the appointment of the
Representative, the indemnification of the Representative, the

in effecting the surrender of certificate(s) representing all of
the shares of Company Stock held by such Company Stockholder in
exchange for the Stock Closing Payment and the right to receive
future payment of any Earn-Out Consideration. The payment of the
Stock Closing Payment and future Earn-Out Consideration with
respect to each such certificate is conditioned upon (1) the
execution and delivery of the Letter of Transmittal, (2) a
representation by the Company Stockholder that such Company
Stockholder owns all right, title and interest to all shares of
Company Stock registered in the name of such Company Stockholder
and (3) the delivery of such certificates related thereto (or
an affidavit of loss with respect to such certificates). As soon as
practicable after receipt by the Paying Agent of such
certificate(s), properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for
transfer, for cancellation (or affidavit, as applicable), together
with such duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the Paying Agent
shall, in exchange therefor, pay to such Company Stockholder the
Stock Closing Payment payable in respect of the shares of Company
Stock formerly represented by the certificate(s) surrendered, but
without any interest earned thereon, and the certificate(s) so
surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of any portion
of the applicable Stock Closing Payment is to be made to a person,
firm, entity, partnership, association or any business organization
or division thereof (each a “ Person ”) other
than the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate(s) are
registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person
requesting such payment (A) shall have paid any transfer and
other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a
Person other than the registered holder of the certificate(s)
surrendered, and shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Parent that such Tax has been paid, or (B) shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Parent that such Tax is not
applicable. From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 2.8(b), each certificate formerly
representing shares of Company Stock (other than any Dissenting
Shares) shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the
right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration and
Earn-Out Consideration as provided pursuant to Section 2.1(a)
hereof, if any, in respect of such shares of Company Stock formerly
represented thereby in accordance with the terms hereof and in the
manner provided herein. In connection with the surrender of the

Stockholder will be required to acknowledge that all the shares of
Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor will be subject to
the Lock-Up Restrictions.

Ownership Rights in the Shares . At the Effective Time, the

Effective Time, the holders of certificates formerly evidencing
ownership of the shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with
respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or

Corporation or the Paying Agent shall cancel and exchange, as
provided in this Section 2, any presented certificate
representing shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time.

Liability . At any time following the Earn-Out Distribution
Date, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to
require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including,
without limitation, any earnings received with respect thereto)
that had been made available to the Paying Agent and that have not
been disbursed to Company Stockholders and thereafter such Company
Stockholders shall be entitled to look only to Parent or the
Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or
other similar Legal Requirements), upon due surrender of their
certificates formerly representing shares of Company Stock or
rights to purchase such shares, without any interest thereon.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving
Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a
certificate formerly representing shares of Company Stock for any
amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal
Requirement.
(e) Withholding Rights . Each
of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from payment of any amounts (or any
portion thereof) payable pursuant to this Agreement to, or on
behalf of, any Company Stockholder or any other Person, and the
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from payment
of any Company Stockholder’s pro rata portion of the Escrow
Amount (or any portion thereof) otherwise payable pursuant to this
Agreement to any Company Stockholder, such amounts as may be
required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of
such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “ Code ”), or any other Legal Requirement.
To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving
Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, such withheld
amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the Company Stockholder or such other Person to
whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed
Certificates . In the event any certificate(s) which formerly
represented shares of Company Stock shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that
fact by the Company Stockholder thereof in form reasonably
satisfactory to Parent and the execution and delivery of a letter
of transmittal in accordance with Section 2.8(b), Parent shall
instruct the Paying Agent to pay such Company Stockholder the
applicable Stock Closing Payment as provided in this
Section 2; provided , however , that Parent may,
in its reasonable discretion, acting in good faith, and as a
condition precedent to issuing such instruction to the Paying
Agent, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate(s) to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form
reasonably satisfactory to Parent and a bond in such sum as Parent
may reasonably direct as indemnity, against any claim that may be
made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent
with respect to the certificate(s) alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed.
21
(g) Dissenting Shares . The
provisions of this Section 2.8 shall also apply to Dissenting
Shares that lose their status as such, except that the obligations
of Parent under this Section 2.8 shall commence on the date of
loss of such status and the holder of such shares shall be entitled
to receive in exchange for such shares the applicable amounts
provided in Section 2.
2.9 Further Action . If, at
any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary
or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to
vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and
possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and
franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and
directors of the Company and Merger Sub immediately prior to the
Effective Time are and will remain fully authorized in the name of
the Company and Merger Sub or otherwise to take, and shall take,
all such action.
