(i)    any shares of Company Capital Stock then held by the Company (“Shares”) (or held in the Company’s treasury) immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii)    any shares of Company Capital Stock then held by Parent, Merger Subs or any other wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii)    except as provided in subsections “(a)(i)” and “(a)(ii)” of this Section 1.5 (Conversion of Shares) and subject to Sections 1.9 (Exchange/Payment), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to be an existing and issued share of Company Common Stock, and shall be converted, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.5 (c) is referred to as the “Merger Consideration”; and

(iv)    each share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of First Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into one share of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation and each stock certificate of First Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall thereupon evidence ownership only of such shares of capital stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation.

(b)    No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the First Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder of Company Common Stock would be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 (c) aggregated and rounded up to the nearest whole share, upon surrender by such holder of a Letter of Transmittal in accordance with Section 1.9 (Exchange/Payment) and any accompanying documents as required therein

4

(c)    If, between the date of this Agreement and the First Effective Time, (i) the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse-split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change (by merger, consolidation or otherwise), or (ii) the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse-split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change (by merger, consolidation or otherwise), then in each case, the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse-split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change (by merger, consolidation or otherwise); provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock, respectively, that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement; and

(d)    No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the First Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share or provides an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 1.9 (Exchange / Payment) (at which time (or, if later, on the applicable payment date) such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(e)    At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation, Second Merger Sub or their respective stockholders or members, as applicable, each share of the First Step Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

1.6    Treatment of Company Warrants and Company Options.

(a)    Other than those Company Warrants owned by the Parent and its Subsidiaries, and except for those Company Warrants set forth in Part 1.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in which the holder(s) of such Company Warrants have the option to have such Company Warrants purchased by Parent, each Company Warrant that remains outstanding and unexercised at the First Effective Time shall become converted into and become a warrant exercisable to receive Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume each such Company Warrant in accordance with its terms. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under the Company Warrants assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed Warrant”) shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the First Effective Time: (A) each Company Warrant assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Company Warrant assumed by Parent shall be determined by multiplying (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock, or the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrant that were subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time, by (2) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (C) the per share exercise price for Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Company Warrant assumed by Parent shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) any restriction on any Company Warrant assumed by Parent shall continue in full force and effect and the terms and other provisions of such Company Warrant shall otherwise remain unchanged. Company Warrants held by Parent and its Subsidiaries shall be cancelled upon the First Effective Time.

5

(b)    At the First Effective Time, all holders of Company Options (“Converted Options”) to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an option to acquire a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, at an adjusted exercise price per share, in each case, as determined under this Section 1.6(c) (each such Converted Option, a “Rollover Option”). Each Rollover Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such corresponding Converted Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Contemplated Transactions. Accordingly, at the First Effective Time, each such Rollover Option shall be exercisable solely for shares of Parent Common Stock, and such number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Rollover Option shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to each such Converted Option, as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. The per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such Rollover Option shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Converted Option, as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. Any restriction on the exercise of any such options shall continue in full force and effect. The term of such options shall remain unchanged. All other terms shall be as set forth in the Parent Equity Plan and the grant agreements thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversions described in this Section 1.6(b) will be subject to such modifications, if any, as are required to cause the conversions to be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of any Converted Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such Converted Option shall be determined subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

1.7    Further Action. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Subs and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Entity and Parent shall take such action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

1.8    Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the First Effective Time: (a) all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and (i) all certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as Company Stockholders, and each certificate representing any such Company Capital Stock (a “Company Stock Certificate”) shall thereafter represent the right to receive the consideration referred to in Section 1.5 (Conversion of Shares), if any; and (ii) each holder of Book-Entry Shares representing any Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration referred to in Section 1.5 (Conversion of Shares); if any, and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, a Company Stock Certificate, is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Entity or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.9 (Exchange/Payment.)

6

1.9    Exchange/Payment.

(a)     Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select a reputable entity reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). No later than the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent non-certificated shares of Parent Common Stock represented by Book-Entry Shares issuable in exchange for outstanding Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.5 (Conversion of Shares). The Parent Common Stock so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund”.

(b)    Promptly after the First Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to the holders of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the First Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in a form to be mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.5 (Conversion of Shares). Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Shares and delivery of a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent for payment, (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share evidenced by such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Shares determined pursuant to Section 1.5 (Conversion of Shares), within 10 Business Days of such surrender and delivery, and (B) the Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be canceled. No holder of any Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to receive any of the consideration in accordance with the preceding sentence without returning the completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, as a condition to the payment of the consideration hereunder, require the owner of such Company Stock Certificate to provide a reasonably appropriate affidavit to Parent (which may include an indemnity or bond in customary form).

(c)    With respect to Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Exchange Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries to ensure that the Exchange Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as promptly as practicable after the First Effective Time, upon surrender of Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Company, the Exchange Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees, and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries, the Merger Consideration to which the beneficial owners thereof are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger.

7

(d)    Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of the Shares that (i) are represented by Company Stock Certificates, by physical surrender of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) together with duly completed and executed Letters of Transmittal and other appropriate transmittal materials required by the Exchange Agent, (ii) are Book-Entry Shares not held through DTC, by book-receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent in accordance with the letter of transmittal and accompanying instructions in connection with the surrender of such Book-Entry Shares (or such other reasonable evidence, if any, of such surrender as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agent Agreement), and (iii) are Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by the Company, Parent, the Exchange Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees, and such other necessary and desirable third-party intermediaries pursuant to this Section 1.9, the holder of such Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver, out of the Exchange Fund, as promptly as practicable to such holders, the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which the aggregate number of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.5 (Conversion of Shares). If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares formerly evidencing the Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer , as the case may be, and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Entity that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.9(d), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the First Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which the aggregate number of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.5 (Conversion of Shares). The Merger Consideration paid in respect of Shares upon their surrender or transfer for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.9(d) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. At any time following twelve (12) months after the First Effective Time, holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Entity (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Legal Requirements) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them.

(e)    As of the First Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Shares shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the First Effective Time, the holders of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(f)    Each of the Surviving Entity, Parent and Merger Subs shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required by any applicable Tax Legal Requirements to deduct and withhold. Each such payor shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that any such amounts so deducted or withheld are timely and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body in accordance with applicable Tax Legal Requirements, such amounts so remitted shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(g)    If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Entity, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Stock Certificate (which shall not exceed the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Company Stock Certificate), the Exchange Agent will pay (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 1.9), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificate, as contemplated by this Section 1.9.

8

(h)    None of Parent, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent or any other Party shall be liable to any holder of Shares for the Merger Consideration or any holder of Company equity awards for any amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.6 (Treatment of Company Warrants and Company Options) delivered in respect of such Share or Company equity awards, respectively, to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of the Surviving Entity or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i)    Each of Parent, the Company, the Exchange Agent, and their respective agents (each a “Withholding Agent”) will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable to any Person under this Agreement or any other documents associated with the transaction, the amounts such Withholding Agent is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Body, such withheld amounts will be treated as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of whom such amounts were withheld.

1.10    Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenter’s rights or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger pursuant to NRS Chapter 92A (as provided in NRS 92A.390) or any other applicable Legal Requirements.

(f)    The Company agrees that in the event any of its Subsidiaries or any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries takes any action (or omits to take any action) which, if taken (or not taken) by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 4.4, the Company shall be deemed to have breached this Section 4.4.

62

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2 (a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Required Vote:

(i)    in the event that (x) the Company or any of its Representatives receives a written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of Section 4.4, other than a breach that is immaterial and unintentional) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and (y) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may (A) make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 and enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), if and only if: (1) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements; (2) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation or effecting such termination (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not (in and of itself) constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation); and (3) (I) the Company shall have provided to Parent unredacted copies of the most current drafts of any proposed Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and any financing commitments or other agreements to be entered into in connection with such Acquisition Proposal and a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 4.4, (II) the Company shall have afforded Parent five (5) Business Days (the “Match Period”) after delivery of the Determination Notice and the documents contemplated by the foregoing clause (I) to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, and shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (III) after considering the terms of this Agreement, and any revisions thereto proposed to be made by Parent, if any, prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the Match Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements. Issuance of any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) shall not, in and of itself, be considered a Company Adverse Change Recommendation and shall not require the giving of a Determination Notice or compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.2, so long as such communication solely describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto and neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof takes any action set forth in Section 5.2(a). The provisions of Section 5.2(b)(i)(B)(II) and Section 5.2(b)(i)(B)(III) shall also apply to any amendment to any economic terms or any material non-economic terms of any Acquisition Proposal and require a new Determination Notice, except that the Match Period shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days; and

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 5.2(b)(ii)(B) and Section 5.2(b)(ii)(C) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Change in Circumstance and require a new Determination Notice, except that references to five (5)Business Days shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days.

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, nothing therein shall prohibit or limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make any proposals to, or undertake any negotiations with, the Company as contemplated by this Section 5.2.

This Section 5.3 shall not apply to any obligations with respect to Antitrust Laws or any filings, consents or approvals thereunder, which shall instead be governed by Sections 5.1(b) through (g), respectively.

5.4    Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions as promptly as practicable, including notifying the other of any communication, inquiry, or investigation received from or initiated by a Governmental Body and using reasonable best efforts to cooperate in responding to any such inquiries, investigations, or requests, by using reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to satisfy all of the conditions to the obligations of the other Parties hereto to effect the Merger, to obtain all necessary waivers, consents, approvals and other documents required to be delivered hereunder, and to effect all necessary registrations and filings and to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in each case in order to consummate and make effective the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions.

5.5    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a)    For six years from and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall cause all rights to indemnification and exculpation by the Company existing in favor of those Persons who are directors and officers of the Company as of, or prior to, the date of this Agreement (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the First Effective Time, as provided in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the Company’s bylaws (in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement), subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof, to survive the Merger, including as a result of the amendment of the limited liability company operating agreement of the Surviving Entity pursuant to Section 1.4(a) (Organizational Documents; Directors and Officers), and for six years from and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to fulfill and honor such obligations to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law.

(b)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall purchase a six year “tail” policy (the “Tail D&O Policy”) that provides at least the same coverage in scope and amount and has other terms not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the insured persons than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s directors and officers, and any premiums with respect to such Tail D&O Policy shall be paid by Parent; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company with respect to such presently maintained policies, it being understood that if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Entity shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to such amount. After the First Effective Time, Parent shall and shall cause the Surviving Entity to maintain such policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c)    In the event that Parent, the Company or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors).

(d)    The provisions of this Section 5.5 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors) shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such D&O Indemnified Person may have by Contract or otherwise. This Section 5.5 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors) may not be amended, altered or repealed after the First Effective Time without the prior written consent of the affected D&O Indemnified Person.

65

5.6    Tax Matters.

(a)    The Company shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Company that are required to be filed (taking into account any extension properly obtained) on or before the Closing Date, and shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes of the Company due on or before the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company with respect to such items, except as required by applicable Law. At least 20 days prior to filing any such Tax Return that is an income or other material Tax Return, the Company shall submit a copy of each such Tax Return to Parent for Parent’s review and comment, and the Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments received in writing within 15 days of the Company’s delivery of such Tax Return to Parent.

(b)    Parent shall file or cause to be filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are listed in Part 2.14(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and are required to be filed after the Closing Date (each, a “Parent Prepared Return”).

(c)    With respect to any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company (each a “Tax Claim”), Parent shall have the right to control such Tax Claim, including the defense and settlement thereof.

(d)     All sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, conveyance, recording, excise, real property transfer or gains, or similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred as a result of the Contemplated Transactions shall be borne equally by the Company Stockholders, on one hand, and Parent, on the other hand. Parent shall timely file all Tax Returns and shall timely pay all such Transfer Taxes.

(e)    The Company agrees to cooperate with Parent and provide any relevant information in the Company’s possession, or to which it has access that is requested by Parent which is reasonably necessary for Parent to determine the limitations, if any, on the Company’s Tax loss carryforwards under Sections 382, 383 and 384 of the Code or any similar provision of Law of any other jurisdiction applicable to the Company.

(f)    None of the Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates shall engage in any Tax related action not in the Ordinary Course of Business occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing that would impact a Pre-Closing Period and that is not otherwise contemplated hereby, including any election pursuant to Sections 338 or 336(e) of the Code or any classification election on Form 8832.

(g)    For United States federal income Tax purposes, (i) the Parties intend that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (ii) this Agreement is intended to be, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 354 and 361 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a), to which the Parent, Merger Subs and the Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Parent, the Company, and their respective Affiliates, shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid taking any action which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code. Each Party shall cause all Tax Returns relating to the Merger filed by such Party to be filed on the basis of treating the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Merger Subs, or the Company makes any representations or warranties to any securityholder of Parent or the Company regarding the Tax treatment of the Merger, or any of the Tax consequences to any securityholder of Parent or the Company, of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions or agreements contemplated hereby.

5.7    Notification of Certain Events.

(a)    During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of, and furnish Parent with any information it may reasonably request with respect to, the occurrence of any event or condition or the existence of any fact that may reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Parent to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Subs) not to be satisfied (including any breaches of inaccuracies of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 (Representations and Warranties of the Company)).

(b)    During the Pre-Closing Period, Parent shall promptly notify the Company of, and furnish the Company with any information it may reasonably request with respect to, the occurrence of any event or condition or the existence of any fact that may reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 8 (Conditions Precedent to Obligation of the Company) not to be satisfied (including any breaches of inaccuracies of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 (Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Subs)).

5.9    Company Options.

(a)    Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions (including providing any required notices, obtaining any necessary determinations and/or obtaining resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof) that may be necessary (under the Company Equity Plans and award agreements pursuant to which Company Options are outstanding or otherwise) to cause the treatment (as applicable) of each Company Option then outstanding as set forth in Section 1.6 (Treatment of Company Warrants and Company Options).

(b)    Parent shall take all corporation action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Rollover Options assumed in accordance with Section 1.6.

With respect to those individuals who subsequent to the Merger will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, Parent shall administer the Company Plans assumed pursuant to Section 1.6 in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 of the SEC to the extent the applicable Company Plan complied with such rule before the Merger.

The Company shall obtain and deliver to Parent at or prior to the Second Effective Time (or, at the option of Parent, at a later date) the resignation of each director of the Company, effective as of the Second Effective Time (or, at the option of Parent, at a later date) (the “Director Resignations”).

5.11    Employee Benefits. With respect to those employees of the Company who are employed by the Company as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time including the Key Employees, Shanice Morgan and Corey Stratton (the “Continuing Employees”):

(a)    Parent shall continue the employment of all the Continuing Employees immediately following the Closing;

(c)    Parent shall enroll all Continuing Employees in Parent’s health and welfare benefit plans (to the same extent such Continuing Employees were eligible to participate under the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans immediately prior to the Second Effective Time); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.11 (Employee Benefits) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Entity to amend or terminate any such health or welfare benefit plan or migrate the Continuing Employees to a successor health or welfare benefit plan at any time. To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or allowances (including paid time off) under any such plan, then Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would not apply under a similar employee benefit plan in which such employees participated immediately prior to the commencement of participation in such plan, and (ii) ensure that such health or welfare benefit plan shall, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums and allowances (including paid time off), credit Continuing Employees for service and amounts paid immediately prior to the commencement of participation in such plan to the same extent that such service and amounts paid were recognized prior to such commencement of participation under the corresponding health or welfare benefit plan of the Company.

(d)    To the extent requested in writing by Parent at least ten Business Days prior to the Second Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary under the Company’s 401(k) plan to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan at least one day prior to the Second Effective Time.

68

(e)    Nothing in this Section 5.11 (Employee Benefits) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any employee to continued employment with Parent, the Surviving Entity or any other Affiliate of the Surviving Entity and, except as may be otherwise set forth in employment agreements with such parties, the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment. The provisions of this Section 5.11 (Employee Benefits) are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.11 (Employee Benefits) is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a Third Party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

5.12    Securityholder Litigation. During the Pre-Closing Period the Company shall promptly notify Parent of any litigation against the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees, securityholders or Representatives relating to the Contemplated Transactions and keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis with respect thereto (including by providing Parent with copies of all pleadings with respect thereto). The Company shall give Parent the right to review and comment on all substantive filings or responses to be made or filed, or any settlement or other agreements to be entered into, by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such litigation (and the Company shall in good faith take such comments into account), including all materials proposed to be delivered by or on behalf of the Company in connection with any discovery or document production with respect to such litigation; provided that the Company shall control the defense and strategy for any such litigation. No such settlement, compromise, arrangement, understanding, or admission of liability or wrongdoing, shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable, and required to be reserved for issuance, in connection with the Merger as well as the Parent warrants (the “Parent Public Warrants”) to be issued in exchange for certain Company Warrants that are currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, together with the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the First Effective Time.

5.14    Delisting; Deregistration. To the extent requested by Parent, prior to the Second Effective Time, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part pursuant to Legal Requirements and the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ to cause (a) the delisting of the Company Common Stock from the NASDAQ as promptly as practicable after the Second Effective Time; and (b) the deregistration of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting.
