Stock Amount (subject, in each case to Sections 2.
7(e) , (f), (i) and (j) ) (the “
Series B Stock Consideration Per Share ”);
and

Effective Time Company Stockholder shall be aggregated and rounded
up to the nearest whole cent and subject to
Section 2.7(f) , all shares of parent Common Stock

that is five (5) calendar days prior to the date which Parent
reasonably anticipates will be the Closing Date (such date, the
“ Stock Price Measurement Date ”), if the
Measurement Price is less than $20.00 per share, or if the Parent
otherwise determines to deliver the Merger Consideration in all
cash, then, Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
provide notice (the “ Election Notice ”)
to the Company that the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to
Effective Time Company Stockholders pursuant to
Section 2.7(d) shall be as provided in the next
sentence. If the Election Notice is delivered by Parent,

of the amounts of Series A Stock Consideration Per Share,

Consideration Per Share or Warrant Stock Consideration Per Share,
as applicable, determined in accordance with
Section 2.7(d) and in addition to the Series A
Cash Consideration Per Share, Series B Cash Consideration Per
Share, Common Cash Consideration Per Share or Warrant Stock
Consideration Per Share, as applicable, determined in accordance

the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to
the product obtained by multiplying (x) Common Stock Consideration
Per Share by (y) the Trading Price;

outstanding share of Company Series A Preferred Stock shall be
converted into the right to receive an amount of cash (without
interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying
(x) Series A Stock Consideration Per Share by
(y) the Trading Price;
(iii) each
outstanding (or which would be outstanding upon conversion of the
Company Convertible Notes) share of Company Series B Preferred
Stock shall be converted into the right to receive an amount of
cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (x) Series B Stock Consideration Per Share by
(y) the Trading Price; and
(iv) each
outstanding Company Warrant shall be converted into the right to
receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the product
obtained by multiplying (x) Warrant Stock Consideration Per
Share by (y) the Trading Price.
(f)
Fractional Shares . No fraction of a share of Parent
Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu
thereof each holder of shares of Company Capital
-17-
Stock,
Company Warrants or Company Convertible Notes that would otherwise
be entitled to a fraction of a Parent Common Stock (after
aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that
otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon surrender
of such holder’s Company Stock Certificate(s) or in the case
of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an
affidavit (and bond, if required) in the manner provided in
Section 2.12 , receive from Parent an amount of cash
(rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, less the
amount of any withholding taxes as contemplated by
Section 2.7(i) which are required to be withheld with
respect thereto, equal to the product of: (i) such fraction,
multiplied by (ii) the Trading Price.
(g)
Treatment of Company Options .
(i) At
the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of the holders of any shares of Company Options, each
Company Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to

assumed by Parent and converted automatically into an option to
purchase Parent Common Stock (“ Assumed Options
”) as set forth below. Each Assumed Option will continue to
have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in
the Company Option Plan and the agreements evidencing the grant
thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time, including
provisions with respect to vesting, except that (A) such
Assumed Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares
of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number
of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise
of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time,
multiplied by the (2) the Option Exchange Ratio and rounded
down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock,
and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Option
shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such
assumed Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the
Effective Time, by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up
to the nearest whole cent; provided , however , that
the exercise price of the option, the number of shares purchasable
pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of
such option shall be determined in order to comply with
Section 409A of the Code.
(ii) Prior
to the Effective Time, and subject to the review and approval of
Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned),
the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the
transactions anticipated by Section 2. 7(g)(i)
under the Company Option Plan and all Company Option agreements and
any other applicable plan or arrangement of the Company (whether
written or oral, formal or informal), including delivering all
notices required thereby. Materials to be submitted to the holders
of Company Options in connection with any notice required under
this Section 2. 7(g)(ii) shall be subject to
review and approval by Parent, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Promptly following
the Closing, Parent shall issue to each holder of a Company Option
that was assumed by Parent pursuant to Section 2.
7(g)(i) a document evidencing the assumption of such Company
Option by Parent.
(iii) Following
the Effective Time, Parent will be able to grant stock awards, to
the extent permissible by applicable Law and Nasdaq regulations,
under the terms of the Company Option Plan or the terms of another
plan adopted by Parent to issue the reserved
-18-
but
unissued shares of Company Common Stock under such Company Option
Plan and the shares that would otherwise return to the Company
Option Plan pursuant to Section 3.3 thereof (which provides
that shares of Company Common Stock subject to unexercised portions
of any award granted thereunder that expires, terminates or is
canceled, and shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to an
award that are reacquired by Parent pursuant to the terms of the
award under which such shares were issued, will return and may be
used for awards to be granted under the Company Option Plan),
except that (i) shares of Company Common Stock covered by such
awards will be shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) all
references to a number of shares of Company Common Stock will be
(A) changed to reference Parent Common Stock and
(B) converted to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock
equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common
Stock multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the
nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company, nor any Company
Stockholder, nor any holder of a Company Option, makes any
representation or warranty or shall have any obligation or any
liability whatsoever, including without limitation any
indemnification obligation under this Agreement, or be required to
take any action with respect to or arising out of this
Section 2.7(g)(iii) .
(h)
Treatment of Company Warrants; Company Convertible
Notes .
(i) Parent
shall not assume any Company Warrants in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby. At the Effective Time, each
Company Warrant then outstanding shall, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled
and converted without exercise into and, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, represent the right to
receive (subject to the holdback of the Escrow Amount) with respect
to each share of Company Series B Preferred Stock then subject
to purchase under such Company Warrant:
(1)
an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the Per Share Cash
Residual Amount (the “ Warrant Cash Consideration Per
Share ”), and
(2)
a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Per Share
Stock Amount (subject, in each case to Sections 2.
7(e) , (f), (i) and (j) ) (the “
Warrant Stock Consideration Per Share ”).
Prior to
the Effective Time, and subject to the review and approval of
Parent (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), the Company shall take all commercially reasonable
actions necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this
Section 2.7(h) under all Company Warrant agreements,
including delivering notices required thereby.
(ii) Parent
shall not assume any Company Convertible Notes in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby. Immediately prior to the
Effective Time, each Company Convertible Note then outstanding
shall be treated as if it were converted into shares of Company
Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of such Company
Convertible Note, and at the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
shall represent the right to receive (subject to the holdback of
the Escrow Amount) with respect to each share of
-19-
Company
Series B Preferred Stock into which the Company Convertible
Note is deemed to have converted, the Series B Cash
Consideration Per Share and the Series B Stock Consideration
Per Share.
(i)
Withholding Taxes . The Company and, on its behalf,
Parent and the Surviving Corporation, shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from any portion of the Closing Adjusted Merger
Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or
former holder of Company Capital Stock, a Company Convertible Note,
a Company Option or a Company Warrant such amounts as may be
required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable
provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax Law or under any
applicable legal requirement, including any federal or state income
tax withholding as a result of the exercise of a Company Option
prior to the Effective Time. To the extent such amounts are so
deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all
purposes as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts
would otherwise have been paid, and Parent or the Surviving
Corporation will promptly pay such amounts to the applicable taxing
authority and will provide prompt written notice of such payment to
the Effective Time Company Stockholder. Any such withholding shall
be satisfied first by reducing the amount of the cash portion of
the Merger Consideration payable to such Person hereunder, and to
the extent the amount of required withholding exceeds the cash
consideration payable to the Person, then by reducing the number of
shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such Person hereunder
(such number of shares to be determined using the Trading
Price).
(j)
Stockholder Loans . To the extent that any Effective
Time Company Stockholder has outstanding loans from the Company as
of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to
this Section 2.7 to such Effective Time Company
Stockholder shall be reduced in equal proportions of cash and
shares of Parent Common Stock by an amount equal to the sum of the
outstanding principal plus any accrued but unpaid interest of such
Effective Time Company Stockholder’s loans as of the
Effective Time. Such loans shall be deemed fully satisfied as to
the amount by which the consideration is reduced pursuant to this
Section 2.7(j) . To the extent that any consideration
otherwise payable to such Effective Time Company Stockholder is so
reduced, such amount shall be treated for all purposes as having
been paid to such Effective Time Company Stockholder.
2.8 Dissenting Shares
.
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares
of Company Capital Stock held by an Effective Time Company
Stockholder, who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such
Effective Time Company Stockholder’s dissenters or appraisal
rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares of Company
Capital Stock (the “ Dissenting Shares ”)
shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the
applicable Merger Consideration for such shares of Company Capital
Stock pursuant to Section 2.7 , but in lieu thereof,
such stockholder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as
are provided by Delaware Law.
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.8(a) , if any holder of
Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through
failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s dissenters or
appraisal rights under Delaware Law, then, as of the later of
the
-20-
Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such
holder’s shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and will
automatically be converted into and represent only the right to
receive the applicable Merger Consideration for such shares of
Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.7 , without
interest thereon, and upon surrender of the certificate
representing such shares in accordance with the terms of
Section 2.10 .
(c) The
Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written
demand for appraisal or other payment received by the Company
pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, and
(ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not,
except with the prior written consent of Parent (not to be
unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any such
demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any
communication to be made by the Company to any Company Stockholder
with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in
advance and shall not be presented to any Company Stockholder prior
to the Company receiving Parent’s consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent that Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) makes any
payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess
of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in
respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.7
of this Agreement (assuming payment in full of each Effective Time
Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount)
or (ii) incurs any Losses in respect of any Dissenting Shares
(excluding payments for such shares) ((i) and (ii) together
“ Dissenting Share Payments ”), Parent
shall be entitled to recover under the terms of
Article VIII the amount of such Dissenting Share
Payments.

fail to deliver a Notice of Dispute, pursuant to this
Section 2. 9(b)(iii) , prior to the expiration
