At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub Common Stock are so converted shall be the only shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time.
          (b) AV VIII Holdings, Inc. Convertible Promissory Note. At the Effective Time, $250,000 plus interest accrued through the Effective Time (such amount, the “Note Payoff Amount”) of the Closing Cash Consideration shall be payable to AV VIII Holdings, Inc. as payment in full of the AV VIII Holdings, Inc. Convertible Promissory Note.
          (c) Company Management Incentive Plan. At the Effective Time, 15% of (1) the Closing Cash Consideration less (2) the Note Payoff Amount shall be payable to the Incentive Plan Participants in accordance with the Merger Consideration Certificate.

12


 

Participating Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time is entitled to receive an amount of cash, without interest, equal to either the Series A Merger Consideration or the Common Merger Consideration, as applicable. However, since both of these amounts will be nil ($0), each share of Company Non-Participating Stock will be, as at the Effective Time, cancelled and extinguished, with no payment or distribution being made with respect thereto. “Merger Consideration Certificate” means a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to be prepared by the Company as of the Closing Date and signed by the Secretary of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and delivered to the Parent at Closing, which certificate will represent and warrant to the Parent that the Merger is treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company under the Certificate of Incorporation and that the distribution provisions set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate with respect to the Merger Consideration are in accordance with the provisions, including liquidation preferences, of the Certificate of Incorporation.
               (ii) Company Series B Stock. Pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Consideration Certificate, at the Effective Time, each share of Company Series B Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and represent the right to receive an amount of cash, without interest, equal to (A) 85% of that amount which is equal to (1) the Closing Cash Consideration, less (2) the Note Payoff Amount divided by (B) the number of then-outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B Stock, all as set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate.
          (e) Dissenting Shares. As more fully set forth in Section 7.03, holders of shares of Company Capital Stock who have complied with all requirements for perfecting dissenters’ rights, as set forth in the DGCL, shall be entitled to their rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares.

Notwithstanding Section 2.01(d), (i) each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) each Company Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall in each case, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder hereof (except as expressly provided herein), be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.
          (g) Earnout Consideration. In accordance with the Merger Consideration Certificate, the Company Stockholder and the Incentive Plan Participants shall together (as such, the “Earnout Participants”) be entitled to the additional earnout amount set forth below as determined by future Company Revenue (as defined below) for the Earnout Periods described below on the following terms:
               (i) The earnout period shall consist of two years (each, an “Earnout Period”), the first beginning on the day following the Closing Date and ending one year thereafter (the “One Year Anniversary Date”), and the second beginning on the day following the One Year Anniversary Date and ending one year thereafter.

13


 

               (ii) Earnout Threshold. The threshold amounts (each, an “Earnout Threshold”) shall be $6,000,000 for the first Earnout Period and $9,000,000 for the second Earnout Period.

The earnout amount payable for each Earnout Period (in the aggregate for both such Earnout Periods, the “Earnout Consideration”; such amount, with respect to the first Earnout Period, “Year 1 Earnout”; such amount with respect to the second Earnout Period, “Year 2 Earnout”) shall be calculated as follows: provided the Earnout Threshold is achieved for a given Earnout Period, the Earnout Consideration for such Earnout Period shall equal the product of (A) the Company Revenue during the Earnout Period, multiplied by (B) seven percent (7.0%); provided that the maximum amount of aggregate Earnout Consideration for the two Earnout Periods shall not exceed $3,000,000. The parties intend that, for tax purposes, the payments (set forth in subsections (i) through (iii) above) shall qualify for installment sale treatment under §453 of the Code. Such payments shall be treated as imputed interest to the extent required by the Code.
               (iv) Payments; Review of Books and Records.
                    (A) For any Earnout Consideration payments due to the Earnout Participants pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 2.01(g), Parent shall pay, in accordance with this Section 2.01(g)(iv), the applicable Earnout Consideration amount to the Escrow Agent, to be dealt with in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.
                    (B) Parent shall deliver, by the Notification Deadline (as hereinafter defined), to each of the Company Stockholder and the Incentive Plan Representative a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or Controller of Parent certifying on behalf of Parent the amount of Company Revenue for the applicable Earnout Period and the amount of any Earnout Consideration payable in respect of such period (for the purposes of this Section 2.01(g), the “Earnout Payment Amount”). On at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice from the Company Stockholder to Parent given within thirty (30) days after the Company’s Stockholder’s receipt of the foregoing certificate from Parent (with respect to the sale of Earnout Products by the Parent or Parent’s other subsidiaries), the Company Stockholder, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Incentive Plan Representative, shall have a right to audit the books and records of the Company and the Parent to verify Company Revenue for the Earnout Period.
                    (C) Parent shall pay the Earnout Payment Amount to the Escrow Agent within sixty days after the close of the Applicable Earnout Period (such date, the “Notification Deadline”). If an Earnout Ruling (as hereinafter defined) is subsequently duly delivered by the Arbitrating Accountant (as hereinafter referenced) to the Escrow Agent, then (I) if the Earnout Ruling provides for additional Earnout Consideration to be added to the Earnout Payment Amount, Parent shall promptly pay such amount to the Escrow Agent, and (II) if the Earnout Ruling stipulates that Parent’s original Earnout Payment Amount was too high, the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, shall promptly pay any overage to Parent.
                    (D) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agreement shall provide that:

14


 

     (1) except with respect to funds payable to the Parent pursuant to an Earnout Ruling, no Earnout Consideration with respect an Earnout Period shall be released from escrow until a written direction (“Written Direction”), executed by Parent and Company Stockholder has been delivered to the Escrow Agent, confirming either (x) there are no disagreements concerning the amount of such consideration or (y) an Earnout Ruling with respect to such consideration has been delivered; provided, however, if Company Stockholder sends a Written Direction, signed solely by the Company Stockholder (herein, a “Unilateral Written Direction”), to the Escrow Agent that there are no disagreements in any Earnout Payment Amount for a particular Earnout Period, then the Escrow Agent shall immediately pay out to the Earnout Participants any Earnout Amounts not otherwise subject to a replenishment of Escrow Cash, a negative Post-Closing Adjustment, undisputed but unpaid Claims, or outstanding but unresolved Claims as set forth in subsections (2), (3) and (4) below of this Section 2.01(g)(iv)(D). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Unilateral Written Direction shall not be effective unless a copy of the same has simultaneously been delivered to Parent and its legal counsel pursuant to Section 9.01 herein and seven (7) business days have passed without written objection being conveyed from Parent or its legal counsel to Company Stockholder and Escrow Agent (the “Parent Objection Procedure”).
     (2) upon receipt of a Written Direction with respect to the Year 1 Earnout, the Escrow Agent shall immediately pay out to the Earnout Participants any portion of the Year 1 Earnout in excess of $420,000 (such excess, the “Year 1 Earnout Excess Payment”) and shall then apply the balance (i.e., $420,000) as follows: first, to replenish any Escrow Cash paid out during the year following Closing in respect of Claims and a Post-Closing Adjustment, to be available for settlement of Claims pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and Article VIII hereof; second, to payment to Parent of any undisputed but unpaid Claims; third, to a reserve in respect of outstanding but unresolved Claims by Parent, to be paid out upon settlement of such Claims pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and Article VIII hereof (such three applications, collectively, “Priority Claims”); and, fourth to disbursement of the balance (“Year 1 Balance”), if any, to the Earnout Participants, provided that the amounts set forth in part 1 of Schedule 2.01(g) hereto shall be paid out of such Year 1 Balance to the parties listed in part 1 of Schedule 2.01(g) prior to making any payments to the Earnout Participants; provided further, that to the extent any Escrow Cash was paid out to Parent in respect of a Payable Post-Closing Adjustment, then the Year 1 Balance and — if and to the extent the Year 1 Balance is insufficient for such purpose — the

15


 

Year 1 Earnout Excess Payment, shall be reduced by such amount, dollar for dollar, to the extent as may be necessary to satisfy Priority Claims;
     (3) if no Year 1 Earnout was paid — then, upon receipt of a Written Direction with respect to the Year 2 Earnout, the Escrow Agent shall immediately pay out to the Earnout Participants any portion of the Year 2 Earnout in excess of $630,000 (such excess, the “Year 2(A) Earnout Excess Payment”) and shall then apply the balance (i.e., $630,000) as follows: first, to payment to Parent of any undisputed but unpaid Claims; second, to a reserve in respect of outstanding but unresolved Claims by Parent, to be available for settlement of Claims pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and Article VIII hereof (such two applications, collectively, “Year 2(A) Priority Claims”); and, third to disbursement of the balance (“Year 2(A) Balance”), if any, to the Earnout Participants, provided that the amounts set forth in part 2 of Schedule 2.01(g) hereto shall be paid out of such Year 2(A) Balance to the parties listed in part 2 of Schedule 2.01(g) prior to making any payments to the Earnout Participants; provided further, that to the extent any Escrow Cash was paid out to Parent in respect of a Payable Post-Closing Adjustment, then the Year 2(A) Balance and — if and to the extent the Year 2(A) Balance is insufficient for such purpose — the Year 2(A) Earnout Excess Payment, shall be reduced by such amount, dollar for dollar, to the extent as may be necessary to satisfy Year 2(A) Priority Claims;
     (4) If the Year 1 Earnout was paid — then, upon receipt of a Written Direction with respect to the Year 2 Earnout, the Escrow Agent shall deal with such Year 2 Earnout as follows: first, to payment to Parent of any undisputed but unpaid Claims; second, to a reserve in respect of outstanding but unresolved Claims by Parent, to be available for settlement of Claims pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and Article VIII hereof (such two applications, both subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8.09(b), collectively, “Year 2(B) Priority Claims”); and, third to disbursement of the balance (“Year 2(B) Balance”), if any, to the Earnout Participants, provided that that the amounts set forth in part 2 of Schedule 2.01(g) hereto shall be paid out of such Year 2(B) Balance to the parties listed in part 2 of Schedule 2.01(g) prior to making any payments to the Earnout Participants.
                    Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.01(g)(iv)(D) to persons listed on Schedule 2.01(g) shall be referred to herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in any Written Direction or Unilateral Written Direction as a “Schedule 2.01(g) Payment.” It is specifically acknowledged and agreed by the parties that the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.01(g) comprise Transaction Expenses, the payment of which has been deferred

16


 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01(g)(iv)(D), upon receipt of a Written Direction or a Unilateral Written Direction (and compliance, in the case of a Unilateral Written Objection, with the Parent Objection Procedure), all Earnout Amounts which are in escrow which are not held for (1) replenishment of the Escrow Cash, (2) payment of amounts owed due to negative Post-Closing Adjustments, (3) payment of unsettled and unpaid Claims or (4) reservation against outstanding but unresolved Claims, or which are not required to be paid to those persons and in those amounts described in Schedule 2.01(g), shall be immediately disbursed to the Escrow Participants, all pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.
               (v) Disagreements over Earnout Consideration. If the Company Stockholder disagrees with Parent’s calculation of the Earnout Consideration payable for an Earnout Period, the Company Stockholder shall, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Incentive Plan Representative, deliver to Parent, by the date 45 days after the date on which Parent shall have delivered to the Company Stockholder the certificate indicating the amount of Company Revenue and any applicable Earnout Consideration payable to the Company Stockholder for the Earnout Period (the “Objection Deadline Date”), a reasonably detailed statement describing its objections (if any) to Parent’s calculations and its assertion of the appropriate calculation of Earnout Consideration. If the Company Stockholder timely objects to such calculations from Parent and offers its own calculation, such objections shall be resolved as follows:
                    (A) Parent and the Company Stockholder shall first use reasonable efforts to resolve such objections.
                    (B) If Parent and the Company Stockholder do not reach a resolution of all objections set forth on the Company Stockholder’s statement of objections within 30 days after delivery of such statement of objections, Parent and the Company Stockholder shall, within 30 days following the expiration of such 30-day period, engage an Arbitrating Accountant (as referenced below), pursuant to an engagement agreement executed by Parent, the Company Stockholder and the Arbitrating Accountant, to resolve any remaining objections set forth on such Company Stockholder’s statement of objections and its calculation (the “Unresolved Objections”). “Arbitrating Accountant” shall mean an accountant selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company Stockholder, which has not performed services for Parent or the Company Stockholder.
                    (C) Parent and the Company Stockholder shall jointly submit to the Arbitrating Accountant, within 10 days after the date of the engagement of the Arbitrating Accountant (as evidenced by the date of the engagement agreement), a copy of such calculations of the Earnout Consideration, a copy of the statement of objections delivered by the Company Stockholder to Parent, and a statement setting forth the resolution of any objections agreed to by Parent and the Company Stockholder. Each of Parent and the Company Stockholder shall submit to the Arbitrating Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within 45 days after the date of the engagement of the Arbitrating Accountant, a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions on the Unresolved Objections. Each of Parent and the Company Stockholder may (but shall not be required to) submit to the Arbitrating Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within 60 days after the date of the engagement of the Arbitrating Accountant, a memorandum responding to the initial memorandum submitted to the Arbitrating Accountant by the other

17


 

party. Unless expressly requested in writing by the Arbitrating Accountant in a request made known to both Parent and the Company Stockholder, neither party may present any additional information or arguments to the Arbitrating Accountant, either orally or in writing.
                    (D) Within 90 days after the date of its engagement hereunder (the “Determination Deadline”), the Arbitrating Accountant shall determine whether the objections raised by the Company Stockholder are valid in light of the definition of Company Revenue contained herein and the calculation of Earnout Consideration under Section 2.01(g)(iii) and shall issue a ruling (“Earnout Ruling”) which shall include a calculation of the Earnout Consideration for the Earnout Period in accordance with Section 2.01(g), as adjusted pursuant to any resolutions to objections agreed upon by Parent and the Company Stockholder and pursuant to the Arbitrating Accountant’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections. Such calculation of the Earnout Consideration for the Earnout Period shall be deemed to be final. The Arbitrating Accountant shall provide copies, by the Determination Deadline, of any Earnout Ruling to each of the Parent, the Company Stockholder, the Incentive Plan Representative and the Escrow Agent.
                    (E) The resolution by the Arbitrating Accountant of the Unresolved Objections shall be conclusive and binding upon Parent, the Company Stockholder and the Incentive Plan Representative. Parent and the Company Stockholder agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.01(g)(v) for resolving disputes with respect to the payout of the Earnout Consideration for the Earnout Period shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit either party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Arbitrating Accountant.
                    (F) The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant shall be borne by Parent or the Company Securityholders depending on which party’s calculation of the Earnout Consideration is furthest away from the final Earnout Consideration determined by the Arbitrating Accountant (and to the extent that the Company Stockholder’s calculation of the Earnout Consideration is furthest away from that determined by the Arbitrating Accountant, Parent and the Company Stockholder shall cause the Escrow Agent to deduct such fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant and to pay such amount to Parent).
               (vi) Company Revenue. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Revenue” for an Earnout Period shall be the aggregate amount of revenue from sales (excluding taxes) in the Earnout Period of the Earnout Products, Integrated Earnout Products and Bundled Earnout Products (as such terms are hereinafter defined) by the Company, the Parent, or the Parent’s other subsidiaries into the Company’s or the Parent’s sales channels, as determined in accordance with GAAP and as consistently applied by the Company in the Company Financial Statements or the Parent in the Parent’s consolidated financial statements, as the case may be. Any subsequent change in the GAAP voluntarily adopted by the Company in its financial statements or the Parent in the Parent’s consolidated financial statements, as the case may be, that would adversely affect Company Revenue shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating Company Revenue for purposes of this Agreement (regardless of how Company Revenue is accounted for other purposes such as Parent’s reporting or internal accounting). For purposes of determining Company Revenue for an Earnout Period, Parent shall not impose on

18


 

the Company any adjustment or charge in the nature of a general and administrative, management or similar adjustment or charge.
     The Company Revenue from the Bundled Earnout Products shall be computed by the following formula:
(Sale price of the Bundled Earnout Products) x (Revenue from Bundled SKUs)
(Sale price of the Bundled Earnout Products + Sale Price of Parent Products)
     The Company Revenue from the Integrated Earnout Products shall be computed by the following formula:
(Cost of the Integrated Earnout Product) x (Revenue from the integrated product of the Parent)
Cost of the Integrated Earnout Product of the Parent
     Cost for the above purposes would be computed in accordance with GAAP.
               (vii) Earnout Products. For purposes of this Agreement, “Earnout Products” shall mean each of the products currently produced, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or distributed by the Company and its Subsidiaries or currently in development by the Company or its Subsidiaries and not yet in the marketplace, including derivatives and updates of all such products.
               (viii) Integrated Earnout Products. For purposes of this Agreement, “Integrated Earnout Products” shall mean Earnout Products sold during an Earnout Period which have been integrated into products of the Parent.
               (ix) Bundled Earnout Products. For purposes of this Agreement “Bundled Earnout Products” shall mean an Earnout Product sold during an Earnout Period, where products of the Parent and Earnout Products are sold in combination as a unique and single SKU.
     2.02 Company Options.
     Parent is not assuming, and shall not assume, any obligations or Liabilities under (a) any option or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (b) any outstanding Company Options, or (c) any other direct or indirect rights to acquire shares of Company Capital Stock (other than to make the payments contemplated under Section 2.01(d)). On the Closing Date, any option or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company Options, and any other direct or indirect rights to acquire shares (or Company Options) of Company Capital Stock from the Company shall be terminated without further obligation or Liability of the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation. Parent shall not be required to substitute any equivalent option or right for any such terminated Company Option or right.
     2.03 Escrow.
     At the Effective Time, Parent shall withhold the Escrow Cash from the Closing Cash Consideration payable, in accordance with the Merger Consideration Certificate, to the Incentive

19


 

Plan Representative (on behalf of the Incentive Plan Participants), the Company Stockholder and Piper Jaffray & Co. (“Piper Jaffray”). For the purposes of this Section 2.03, the Incentive Plan Representative and the Company Stockholder are together referred to as the “Escrow Participants.” Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, the Incentive Plan Representative (on behalf of the Incentive Plan Participants) and the Escrow Agent shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) which will provide the terms and conditions for the release of the Escrow Cash, along with any other amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent as security for the indemnification obligations of Article VIII pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (such amounts, together with the Escrow Cash, comprising the “Escrow Amount”), after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. On the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Escrow Cash to be deposited with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Amount as security for the indemnification rights under Article VIII and pursuant to the terms of that certain letter agreement dated as of October 30, 2009 between Piper Jaffray and NetStreams, L.L.C. (the “Piper Jaffray Agreement”), amending that certain engagement letter between Piper Jaffray and NetStreams, L.L.C. dated February 2, 2009. The parties intend that, for tax purposes, the Escrow Cash shall qualify for installment sale treatment under §453 of the Code. A portion of the Escrow Cash will be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under the Code.
     2.04 Closing Adjustment.
          (a) Closing Adjustment. As soon as practicable before the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”), and a certificate of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer that the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, subject to the following (the “GAAP Exceptions”):
               (i) With respect to accounts receivable, no allowance shall be provided for doubtful accounts. All known bad debts as of the Effective Date would be deducted from accounts receivable. Receivables attributable to products sent as advance replacement to customers shall be valued at 10% of the recorded receivable, and products loaned to customers and manufacturer representatives shall be valued at 42% of their cost.
               (ii) With respect to inventory, refurbished inventory in normal working condition shall be valued at 70% of the average cost. Inventory returned by customers, but not yet refurbished to working condition shall be valued at 35% of the average cost. No other reserves against inventory shall be permitted.
               (iii) With respect to accounts payable, all known payables including with respect to inventory received, shall be taken into account.
               (iv) With respect to accrued expenses, in calculating accrued expenses, the following amounts shall be disregarded:

20


 

                    (A) expenses for services received but for which amounts due are not known or invoiced, not exceeding $50,000 in aggregate before the Effective Date;
                    (B) salaries and related employer taxes accrued until the Effective Date in respect of the first payroll to be paid after closing, excluding termination bonuses and other payments;
                    (C) vacation accrued for continuing employees; and
                    (D) interest and finance charges accrued to the extent of $17,000.
               (v) With respect to warranty claims, accrual for warranty claims shall be restricted to $85,000.
          The “Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital minus $1,000,000 (the “Target Working Capital”). If the Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Closing Cash Consideration shall be increased by the amount of the Closing Adjustment. If the Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Closing Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the Closing Adjustment.
     “Closing Working Capital” shall be defined as the Current Assets of the Company as at the Closing Date less the Current Liabilities of the Company as at the Closing Date. “Current Assets” of the Company shall mean the sum of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, inventories and all other current assets of the Company, including cash and cash equivalents, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. “Current Liabilities” of the Company shall mean the sum of all accounts payable, accrued expenses, and all other current payables or current accrued liabilities of the Company, but excludes any Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied.
          (b) Post-Closing Adjustment.
               (i) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Company Stockholder a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Closing Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Parent that the Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, subject to the GAAP Exceptions.
               (ii) The Closing Working Capital Statement shall indicate whether a post-closing adjustment is payable with respect to working capital. The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”), provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.04 with respect to a Post-Closing Adjustment unless the Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds $50,000 (the “Post-Closing Adjsutment Threshold”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment Threshold is met, then only that amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment in excess of $25,000 shall be payable hereunder (such amount, the “Payable Post-Closing Adjustment”).

               (i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Company Stockholder shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Company Stockholder and Company Stockholder’s Accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and working papers prepared by, Parent and/or Parent’s Accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Parent’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Company Stockholder may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Parent or the Company.
               (ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Company Stockholder may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Parent a written statement setting forth Company Stockholder’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Company Stockholder’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Company Stockholder fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Company Stockholder. If Company Stockholder delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Parent and Company Stockholder shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Parent and Company Stockholder, shall be final and binding.
               (iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Company Stockholder and Parent fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of PMB Helin Donovan, LLP or, if PMB Helin Donovan, LLP is unable to serve, Parent and Company Stockholder shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Company Stockholder’s Accountants or Parent’s Accountants (the “Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.
               (iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. Company Stockholder shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied

22


 

by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of Parent (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and Company Stockholder’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants (that being the sum total by which Parent’s determination and Company Stockholder’s determination differ from the determination of the Independent Accountants). Parent shall be entitled, at its option, to request the Escrow Agent to pay any such amount payable by the Company Stockholder, as such amount shall be noted by the Independent Accountants in the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Determination, out of the Escrow Amount. Parent shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants that Company Stockholder is not required to pay hereunder.
               (v) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination (“Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Determination”) as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and shall deliver copies of such Determination to Parent, Company Stockholder, Incentive Plan Representative and Escrow Agent. The Independent Accountants’ resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment, if any, shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.
               (vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall be due within ten (10) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or, if there are Disputed Amounts, then within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of the Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Determination. Any Payable Post-Closing Adjustment payable to Parent shall be paid out of the Escrow Cash, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Any Payable Post-Closing Adjustment payable to Company Stockholder and Incentive Plan Participants shall paid by Parent to the Escrow Agent, and shall thereafter be immediately disbursed by the Escrow Agent. The amount of any Payable Post-Closing Adjustment shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to six percent (6%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding, and shall be included in the total amount of any Payable Post-Closing Adjustment reflected in a Payable Post-Closing Adjustment Determination.
          (d) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
     2.05 Effects of the Merger. At and upon the Effective Time:
          (a) the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation of the Merger pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and a certificate of merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (as required by the DGCL) (the “Certificate of Merger”) which shall have been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;

However, no party hereto makes any representation or warranty regarding the Tax consequences of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
          (b) Parent or Parent’s agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign tax law, with respect to the making of such payment.

instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

Such stockholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders of the Company who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive any Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates, if any, that formerly evidenced such shares.

The Incentive Plan Representative shall have no ability to consent to the amendment of the terms of this Agreement, except with respect to matters which do not have or are not reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect upon the Incentive Plan Participants, but shall be entitled to waive or agree to a delay of performance by Parent or Merger Sub of their covenants hereunder.

ARTICLE VII
CLOSING MATTERS
     7.01 The Closing.
     Subject to termination of this Agreement as provided in Article VIII, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Parsons Behle & Latimer, 201 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, Utah on November 2, 2009, or at such other place, date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Parent (sometimes referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). Concurrently with the Closing, the Certificate of Merger shall be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL. All documents delivered and actions taken at Closing shall be deemed to have been delivered or taken simultaneously, and no such delivery or action shall be considered effective or complete unless or until all other such deliveries or actions are completed or waived in writing by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.
     7.02 Exchange.
          (a) At the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Capital Stock shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action, cease to exist, and all such securities shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent the cash amount to which the holder thereof is

59


 

entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(d), subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(e) (regarding rights of holders of Dissenting Shares), Section 2.03 (regarding the withholding of the Escrow Cash) and Section 2.04 (regarding the Closing Adjustment).
          (b) On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall pay to the Company stockholders which have voted in favor of the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement at the Stockholders’ Meeting or have delivered a Stockholder Consent, the portion of the Closing Cash Consideration to which each stockholder of the Company is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.01(d)(i) and (ii).
          (c) On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid by check, on behalf of the Company, to the various Incentive Plan Participants and those amounts comprising part of the Closing Cash Consideration that are specified in the Merger Consideration Certificate or in a schedule or exhibit thereto.

     If, in connection with the Merger, holders of Company Capital Stock are entitled to dissenters’ rights pursuant to the DGCL, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into a right to receive cash as provided in Section 2.01(d), 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 the DGCL.

The Company agrees that, except with Parent’s prior written consent, it shall not voluntarily make

60


 

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.

     8.10 Notice of Claim; Claims Period.

          (b) Either the Company Stockholder (acting on its own behalf or on behalf of the Incentive Plan Representative) or the Parent (acting on its own behalf or on behalf of another Parent Indemnified Person) may give notice of a Claim under this Agreement, whether for its own Damages or, in the case of Parent, for Damages incurred by any other Parent Indemnified Person. Such party (for the purposes of this Article VIII, the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice of a Claim (a “Notice of Claim”) to the other party (for the purposes of this Article VIII, the “Indemnifying Party”) (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Claim involves recovery against the Escrow Cash) promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the existence of any potential claim for indemnification under this Article VIII arising from or relating to (i) any matter specified in Sections 8.07 or 8.08, or, (ii) in the case of Parent, the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Person of a claim, demand, suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a third party against Parent or such other Parent Indemnified Person that is based on, arises out of or relates to any matter specified in Section 8.07 (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”).
          (c) Each Notice of Claim given pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall contain the following information:
               (i) that the Indemnified Party has directly or indirectly incurred, paid or properly accrued (in accordance with GAAP) or, in good faith, believes it shall have to directly or indirectly incur, pay or accrue (in accordance with GAAP), Damages in an aggregate stated amount arising from such Claim (which amount may be the amount of damages claimed by a third party in an action brought against any Parent Indemnified Person based on alleged facts, which if true, would give rise to liability for Damages to such Parent Indemnified Person under this Article VIII); and
               (ii) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to the Indemnified Party), of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Damages based on the Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof, including the identity and address of any third-party claimant (to the extent reasonably available) and copies of any formal demand or complaint, the amount of Damages, the date each such item was incurred, paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the specific nature of the breach to which such item is related.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Claims for Damages specified in any Notice of Claim delivered prior to expiration of the Claims Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to expiration of the Claims Period shall remain outstanding until such Claims for Damages have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. Until the expiration of the Claims Period, no delay on the part of an Indemnified Party in delivering a Notice of Claim shall relieve such Indemnified Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII unless (and then only to the extent that) the other Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.
     8.11 Defense of Third Party Claims.
          (a) Parent shall determine and conduct the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim, and the costs and expenses incurred by Parent in connection with such defense or settlement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Damages for which Parent may seek indemnification pursuant to a Claim made by any Parent Indemnified Person hereunder.
          (b) The Company Stockholder shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents by the Company Stockholder does not affect any privilege relating to the Parent Indemnified Person and may participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third-Party Claim.
          (c) Parent shall seek the prior written consent of the Company Stockholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, before entering into any settlement with respect to a Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Company Stockholder consents to such a settlement of a Third-Party Claim, then Parent shall, subject to the provisions of Article VIII, be entitled to recover the total amount of all Damages incurred in connection with settlement of such Third-Party Claim from the Company Shareholder (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.09), and the Company Stockholder shall otherwise have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VIII to such recovery. In the event that the Parent elects to enter into such settlement of a Third-Party Claim and Company Stockholder has not consented thereto, then such settlement shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Parent or Parent Indemnified Person in respect of such Third-Party Claim.
          (d) To the extent there is an inconsistency between this Section 8.11 and Section 5.07(a) with respect to any Tax Claim, Section 5.07(a) shall control.
     8.12 [Intentionally Deleted.]

          (a) Uncontested Claims. If, within 30 days after a Notice of Claim is received, the Indemnifying Party does not contest such Notice of Claim in writing as provided in Section 8.13(b), the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed to have consented to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of the full amount of Damages specified in the Notice of Claim in accordance with this Article VIII, including, as applicable, the forfeiture of Escrow Cash, and, without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages for such amount in any court having jurisdiction over the matter where venue is proper.
          (b) Contested Claims. If, however, the Indemnifying Party gives written notice contesting all or any portion of a Notice of Claim (a “Contested Claim”) (with, in the case where the Indemnified Party is represented by the Company Stockholder, a copy to the Escrow Agent) within the 30 day period specified in Section 8.13(a), then such Contested Claim shall be resolved by either (i) a written settlement agreement executed by both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (a copy of which shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent) or (ii) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement within 60 business days following receipt of the Contested Claim from the Indemnifying Party, by binding litigation in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 8.13(c). If either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party receives written notice of a Contested Claim, it shall within five business days provide written notice of receipt to the other Indemnified Person.
          (c) Litigation of Contested Claims. Either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party may bring suit to resolve a Contested Claim. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Notice of Claim shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Cash in accordance therewith. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 8.13(c), in any suit hereunder each party shall pay its own expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs.
     8.14 Release of Remaining Escrow Cash.
     Within thirty (30) days following the end of the Earnout Period (the “Escrow Release Date”), the Escrow Cash shall be released to the Company Stockholder and Incentive Plan Participants pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, other than any Escrow Amount that is necessary to satisfy all unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed claims for Damages specified in any Notice of Claim delivered to the Company Stockholder before the end of the Escrow Release Date. If any Claims for which Parent has delivered a Notice of Claim to the Company Stockholder before the expiration of the applicable Claims Period are unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed as of the expiration of the applicable Claims Period, then the Escrow Agent shall retain possession and custody of that amount of Escrow Cash that equals the total maximum amount of Damages then being claimed by Parent Indemnified Persons in all such unresolved, unsatisfied or disputed Claims, and as soon as all such Claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Stockholder and Incentive Plan Participants any remaining Escrow Amount not required to satisfy such Claims.

     8.15 Computation of Damages.
     For the purposes of this Article VIII, all Damages of an Indemnified Person as a result of an event or circumstance for which such Indemnified Person is subject to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be computed net of any Tax benefit that such Indemnified Person actually realizes in the year it incurs the Damages as a result of being able to currently deduct the Damages for Tax purposes. For purposes of the prior sentence, the amount of any Tax benefit shall be reduced to the extent an Indemnified Person or its Affiliate actually incurs any Tax detriment as a result of currently including an indemnification payment into income as required under applicable law.
     8.16 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments and Earnout Payments.
          (a) All payments (if any) made pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article VIII will be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law.
          (b) All payments (if any) of Earnout Consideration will be treated as additional Merger Consideration and, except to the extent such payments are required to be treated as interest under Code Section 483 or analogous provisions of the Code or state or local law, such treatment shall govern for all Tax purposes.
     8.17 Sole Remedy. From and after the Closing, the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnified Persons and the Company Indemnified Persons, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, excepting fraud, for all matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the transaction documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Article VIII shall not apply to any claim arising by reason of fraud of any party hereto.

     9.02 Severability.
     If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Merger is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Merger be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
     9.03 Entire Agreement; Assignment.
     This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), except that Parent and Merger Sub may assign all or any of their rights and obligations hereunder to any affiliate of Parent, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations.
     9.04 Parties in Interest.
     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than Section 5.08 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such persons) and any rights conferred hereunder to Incentive Plan Participants, exercisable through the Incentive Plan Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agreement identifies Square 1 Bank as an intended

third party beneficiary hereunder of what is referred to therein as the “Square 1 Payments,” which are provided for hereinabove, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such is in fact the case.
     9.05 Specific Performance.
     The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
     9.06 Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.
     This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Utah and the Federal courts of the United States of America located within the County of Salt Lake in the State of Utah solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including resolution of disputes under Section 8.13(c)), and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a Utah State or Federal court. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.01 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. With respect to any particular action, suit or proceeding, venue shall lie solely in Salt Lake County, Utah.
     9.07 Waiver of Jury Trial.
     Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Merger. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Merger, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.07.
     9.08 Headings.
