The date on which the Closing actually takes place is 1. referred to in this Agreement as the "CLOSING DATE." Contemporaneously with or as promptly as practicable after the Closing, a properly executed certificate of merger conforming to the requirements of the DGCL shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective at the time such certificate of merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "EFFECTIVE TIME"). 1.4 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS; DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Unless otherwise determined by Parent and the Company prior to the Effective Time: (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; (b) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (c) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time shall be the respective individuals who are directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time. 1.5 CONVERSION OF SHARES. (a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Company Preferred Stock shall be converted into one (1) share of Company Common Stock. (b) The aggregate consideration to be paid by Parent and Merger Sub in the Merger to holders of Company Common Stock, the Converted Option Holders (as defined in Section 1.6 below) and the Converted Warrant Holders (as defined in Section 1.6 below) shall be U.S. $20,000,000, less the amount of (1) specified payment obligations of the Company as set forth on SCHEDULE I hereto (as may be updated prior to the Closing) that would be assumed by Parent (the "SPECIFIED PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS") and (2) fees, costs and expenses for which the Company Stockholders, the Converted Option Holders and the Converted Warrant Holders are responsible pursuant to Section 10.3 (the "MERGER CONSIDERATION"). (c) Subject to the other subsections of this Section 1.5 and Sections 1.6, 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder, Converted Option Holder or Converted Warrant Holder of the Company: (i) each share of the common stock (par value $0.001 per share) of Merger Sub then outstanding shall remain outstanding and each certificate therefor shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation; (ii) each share of Company Common Stock held in the Company's treasury as of the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired and all rights in respect thereof shall cease to exist, without any conversion thereof or payment of any consideration therefor; and 2. (iii) each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent, upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Capital Stock, an amount of cash, without interest, equal to (i) the Merger Consideration divided by (ii) the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) the number of Net Option Shares (as set forth in the definition of Option Consideration in EXHIBIT A) and Net Warrant Shares (as set forth in the definition of Warrant Consideration in EXHIBIT A) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted. 1.6 STOCK OPTIONS; WARRANTS. (a) The Company shall take such action as is necessary or required, including action necessary or required under the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and any Company Stock Plan and each outstanding option grant thereunder ("COMPANY OPTION"), to accelerate the vesting of such Company Options effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each outstanding Company Option that remains unexercised or outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated in accordance with the terms of such Company Option and not be assumed by Parent, and all rights with respect to Company Capital Stock under outstanding Company Option shall thereupon be terminated. (b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may enter into an agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, with each holder (each a "Converted Warrant Holder") of an outstanding warrant to purchase or acquire Company Capital Stock ("COMPANY WARRANT") providing for a termination of such Company Warrant effective as of the Effective Time, in exchange for the payment (subject to the provisions of Section 1.8) of the Warrant 3. Consideration; provided, that the Warrant Consideration shall be reduced by any applicable federal and state withholding taxes. Each Company Warrant that remains unexercised or outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated in accordance with the terms of such Company Warrant and not be assumed by Parent, and all rights with respect to Company Capital Stock under outstanding Company Warrants shall thereupon be terminated. (c) At the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company's Stock Plan and related stock option agreements, the Company Warrants, applicable law or regulation and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6. 1.7 CLOSING OF THE COMPANY'S TRANSFER BOOKS. At the Effective Time, holders of certificates representing shares of the Company's capital stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of such capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of the Company's capital stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any of such shares of the Company's capital stock (a "COMPANY STOCK CERTIFICATE") is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be cancelled. 1.8 BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENT. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, in addition to the Escrow Amount withheld pursuant to Section 1.5(d), a portion of the aggregate consideration otherwise payable to the Company Common Stockholders, Converted Option Holders and Converted Warrant Holders pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(ii) of this Agreement equal to $300,000 (the "ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") shall be withheld. In the event that at any time within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date (the "DETERMINATION DEADLINE") it is determined by Parent in good faith and based on documentation shared with the Stockholders' Agent that (i) the outstanding debt of the Company as of the Closing is greater than the amounts listed on SCHEDULE I hereto; or (ii) the amount of Current Net Assets of the Company as of the Closing (excluding any fees, costs and expenses of the Company described in Section 10.3 of this Agreement) are less than the Current Net Assets of the Company set forth in the Unaudited Interim Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 2.4(a)(ii)) (the aggregate amount of any difference under clause (i) and (ii) being the "SHORTFALL"), then Parent shall have the right to recover from the Escrow Amount the extent of the Shortfall. (b) Within five (5) business days following the Determination Deadline, Parent shall distribute on a pro rata basis to the Company Common Stockholders, Converted Option Holders and Converted Warrant Holders the Adjustment Amount, less any Shortfall. With respect to distribution of the Adjustment Amount, if any, to the Company Common Stockholders, Converted Option Holders and Converted Warrant Holders, Parent's sole obligation is to deliver the balance of the Adjustment Amount, if any. The Company Common Stockholders, Converted Option Holders or Converted Warrant Holders will not be entitled to any interest on the Adjustment Amount. The parties hereto agree that the Adjustment Amount is 4. intended to secure Parent partially against any Shortfall and is not the sole or exclusive remedy for Parent or any other Indemnitee for recovery of any payments or losses arising from any inaccuracy or breach of representations, warranties and covenants, and Parent shall be entitled to recover any such losses or payments exceeding the Adjustment Amount through the Escrow Amount or other available remedy. 1.9 DISSENTING SHARES. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CGCL are or prior to the Effective Date may become applicable to the Merger, any shares of Company Common Stock that, as of the Effective Time, may carry appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CGCL shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the holder or holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders in Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CGCL; provided, however, that if shares carrying appraisal rights shall not be perfected, or if any such shares shall lose their status as shares carrying appraisal rights, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the time of the failure to perfect such status or the loss of such status, such shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares) the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5. (b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand received by the Company prior to the Effective Time to require the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CGCL and of any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL or CGCL, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Parent shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer. 1.10 FURTHER ACTION. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY The Company represents and warrants, to and for the benefit of the Indemnitees, that each statement set forth in each of the sections and subsections of this Section 2 (each such statement being a "representation and warranty" of the Company) is accurate and complete, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered separately to Parent by the Company on the date of this Agreement corresponding to the particular section or subsection of this Section 2 in which such representation and warranty appears (it being understood, however, that a 5. disclosure in a particular Disclosure Schedule will also be deemed to qualify a representation and warranty that does not appear in the corresponding section or subsection of this Section 2 if it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure qualifies such representation and warranty). 2.1 DUE ORGANIZATION; NO SUBSIDIARIES; ETC.

Company set forth in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or the Closing Certificate (without giving effect to any "Material Adverse Effect" or other materiality qualification or any similar qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representation or warranty); (ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or the Closing Certificate as if such representation and warranty had been made on and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to a specific date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be accurate on and as of such specific date, (without giving effect to any "Material Adverse Effect" or other materiality qualification or any similar qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representation or warranty); (iii) any breach of any covenant or failure to perform any obligation of the Company set forth in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule or the Closing Certificate; (iv) the failure of the Company to comply with local, state or federal labor and employment laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation all laws, rules or regulations dealing with employee wages and hours, on or before the Closing; (v) any matter or correspondence described in Part 2.9 of the Disclosure Schedule or (vi) any Legal Proceeding relating to any breach or inaccuracy of the type referred to in clause "(i)," "(ii)," "(iii)," (iv) or "(iv)" above (including any Legal Proceeding commenced by any Indemnitee for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 9). (b) With the exception of inaccuracies or breaches of representations, warranties and covenants involving intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the Parent shall be entitled to be indemnified solely from the Escrow Amount not yet released by Parent pursuant to Section 1.8 for any Damages actually incurred by an Indemnitee as set forth in Section 9.2(a). (c) Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, and without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Section 9, the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.2 shall not apply, and an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to exercise any indemnification rights under this Section 9.2, except to the extent that the aggregate amount of the Damages against which all Indemnitees would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified under this Section 9.2 exceeds $200,000. At such time as the cumulative amount of such Damages exceeds $200,000 in the aggregate, then the Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the cumulative amount of such Damages (and not merely the portion of such Damages exceeding $200,000). (d) In the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud by the Company or any Company Stockholder, the following provisions shall apply: (i) the Indemnitees shall have recourse to the Escrow Amount with respect to any Damages to which an Indemnitee is entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed pursuant to Section 9.2 and which arise from or as a result of, or are connected with, such intentional misrepresentation or fraud (irrespective of the Person who actually participated in or had knowledge of such intentional misrepresentation or fraud); and (ii) in addition to the rights and remedies referred to in clause "(i)" of this sentence, with respect to any Company Stockholder who participated in or had knowledge of 39. such intentional misrepresentation or fraud, there shall be no limit on such Company Stockholder's liability for such intentional misrepresentation or fraud. (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any remedy an Indemnitee may have against any Person for intentional misrepresentation or fraud under applicable tort laws. 9.3 DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding: (a) all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding shall be borne and paid from the Escrow Amount; (b) each Indemnitor shall make available to Parent any documents and materials in his or its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding; and (c) Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding with the consent of the Stockholders' Agent; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. parent shall (i) give the Stockholders' Agent notice of the commencement of any such claim or Legal Proceeding against Parent, Merger Sub or the Company promptly after Parent becomes aware of such claims or Legal Proceeding and (ii) use reasonable efforts to notify the Stockholders' Agent of all material developments relating to such claims or Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Parent to so notify the Stockholders' Agent shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitors under this Section 9 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding). If Parent does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Stockholders' Agent may proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholders' Agent (i) will use reasonable efforts to notify Parent of all material developments relating to such claim or Legal Proceeding and (ii) may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 9.4 EXERCISE OF REMEDIES BY INDEMNITEES OTHER THAN PARENT.

RECITALS A. Parent, Montage Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October __, 2004 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub is merging with and into the Company, and (ii) the shares of common stock and preferred stock of the Company held by the Merger Stockholders (the "Company Capital Stock"), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), are being converted into the right to receive from Parent, upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 1.5 of the Merger Agreement, such portion of the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement). B. The Merger Agreement contemplates the establishment of an escrow arrangement to secure rights to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement of Parent and the other Indemnitees under the Merger Agreement. C. Pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Merger Agreement and Section 9 of this Agreement, David Strohm has been irrevocably appointed to serve as the Stockholder Representative for, among other things, administration of the provisions of Section 1.5, Section 9 and Section 10.3 of the Merger Agreement. AGREEMENT The parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS. 1.1 As used in this Agreement, the term "Merger Stockholders" shall refer initially to (i) all Persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time ("Company Stockholders") and who prior to the Effective Time either (a) voted in favor of or consented in writing to the adoption of the Merger Agreement, or (b) failed to take any action required by Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law") or Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law (the "California Law") to have been taken prior to such time in order to perfect or otherwise preserve their appraisal rights thereunder, and (ii) all Converted Option Holders and Converted Warrant Holders. In the event 1 that following the Effective Time, any Company Stockholder who was not initially a Merger Stockholder either (i) votes in favor of or consents in writing to the adoption of the Merger Agreement, or (ii) otherwise takes (or omits to take) any action that results in the failure of such Company Stockholder to perfect or preserve his appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware Law or Chapter 13 of the California Law, such Company Stockholder shall automatically and without the requirement of any action on the part of such Company Stockholder or any party to this Agreement be deemed to be a Merger Stockholder hereunder. Parent shall cause EXHIBIT A to be revised from time to time to reflect any such additional Merger Stockholders, and shall promptly deliver copies of such revised EXHIBIT A to the Escrow Agent. Until receipt of a revised EXHIBIT A, Escrow Agent may conclusively assume that the current EXHIBIT A is correct and complete. 1.2 Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement. Parent shall provide the Escrow Agent with written notification of the Closing Date ("Closing Notice"). SECTION 2. ESCROW AND INDEMNIFICATION. 2.1 CASH PLACED IN ESCROW. At or following the Effective Time, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the cash to be held in escrow on behalf of the Merger Stockholders as set forth on EXHIBIT A, in accordance with this Agreement. The cash being held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement (the "Escrow Cash") shall constitute an escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund") with respect to the indemnification, compensation and reimbursement rights of Parent and the other Indemnitees under the Merger Agreement and, pursuant to Section 1.5(d) of the Merger Agreement, shall be in the initial sum of $4,000,000.00. The Escrow Agent agrees to accept delivery of the Escrow Fund and to hold the Escrow Fund in an escrow account (the "Escrow Account"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 2.2 PERMITTED INVESTMENTS. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Cash and Escrow Interest (as defined below) in escrow and shall invest the Escrow Cash and Escrow Interest and any interest or income thereon only in Permitted Investments. "Permitted Investments" shall mean direct obligations of the United States government having maturities of 90 days or less, money market funds that invest solely in direct obligations of the United States government, repurchase agreements, and such other investments as may be specified from time to time by written instructions from the Stockholder Representative; provided, such other investments are consistent with the Escrow Agent's investment criteria. In the absence of written instructions to the contrary, funds will be invested in the Escrow Agent's FDIC insured money market account. The Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates may receive compensation with respect to any investment directed hereunder. The Escrow Agent will act upon investment instructions the day that such instructions are received, provided the requests are communicated within a sufficient amount of time to allow the Escrow Agent to make the specified investment. Instructions received after an applicable investment cutoff deadline will be treated as being received by the Escrow Agent on the next business day, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from the inability to invest funds on 2 the day the instructions are received. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss incurred by the actions of third parties or by any loss arising by error, failure or delay in the making of an investment or reinvestment, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss of principal or income in connection therewith, unless such error, failure or delay results from the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. As and when the Escrow Cash and any interest or income thereon is to be released under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall cause the Permitted Investments to be converted into cash and shall not be liable for any loss of principal or income in connection therewith. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss of principal or income due to the choice of Permitted Investments in which the Escrow Cash is invested or the choice of Permitted Investments converted into cash pursuant to this Section 2.2. 2.3 SECURITY INTEREST. To the extent and so long as Escrow Cash is held in the Escrow Account hereunder, Parent shall have, and the Merger Stockholders (through the Stockholder Representative) hereby grant, as of and from the date of this Agreement, a perfected, first-priority security interest in such Escrow Cash to secure payment of amounts, if any, payable to Parent and other Indemnitees in respect of Section 1.5, Section 9 or Section 10.3 of the Merger Agreement. In connection therewith, each Merger Stockholder (through the Stockholder Representative) expressly agrees (i) that the Escrow Agent is acting as Parent's agent solely to the extent necessary to perfect Parent's first-priority security interest in the Escrow Cash, and (ii) to execute and deliver such instruments as Parent may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of evidencing and perfecting such security interest. 2.4 INTEREST, ETC. The Parent and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of each of the Merger Stockholders) agree among themselves, for the benefit of Parent and the Escrow Agent, that any interest accruing on or income otherwise earned on any investment of the funds in the Escrow Account (together with interest thereon, the "Escrow Interest") shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a separate account and that any such interest or amounts shall in no way be Escrow Cash or be included in, or become a part of, the Escrow Fund. Upon the date eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall distribute all of the Escrow Interest (if any) to the Parent at the address set forth on Section 10.2 below. 2.5 TRANSFERABILITY. The interests of the Merger Stockholders in the Escrow Account and in the Escrow Cash shall not be assignable or transferable, other than by operation of law. No assignment or transfer of any of such interests by operation of law shall be recognized or given effect until Parent and the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of such assignment or transfer. 2.6 TRUST FUND. The Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Merger Stockholder or of any party hereto or any party identified in the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund until the Termination Date, provided that if the Escrow Agent has received from the Parent on behalf of any Indemnitee a Claim Notice setting forth a claim that has not been resolved by the Termination Date, then the Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund until the claim has been resolved and the Escrow Fund released in accordance with this Agreement. 3 2.7 BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENT CLAIMS. The parties agree that in accordance with Section 1.8 of the Merger Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to withdraw from the Escrow Fund the amount, if any, by which the Shortfall exceeds the Adjustment Amount. From time to time after the determination in accordance with Section 1.8 of the Merger Agreement that the Shortfall exceeds the Adjustment Amount, Parent may deliver to Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative a Claim Notice (defined below) stating that the Shortfall exceeds the Adjustment Amount and the amount to which Parent is then entitled to withdraw from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Merger Agreement, not to exceed the aggregate amount of Escrow Cash then in the Escrow Account (the "Balance Sheet Adjustment Claim Amount"). Subject in all cases to the administrative provisions of Section 3 hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall promptly pay the Balance Sheet Adjustment Claim Amount to Parent in immediately available funds from the Escrow Account. SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION OF ESCROW ACCOUNT. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Escrow Agent shall administer the Escrow Account as follows: 3.1 If any Indemnitee (acting through Parent) has or claims to have incurred or suffered Damages for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 9 or Section 10.3 of the Merger Agreement, Parent may, on or prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (as specified in the Closing Notice) (the "Termination Date"), deliver a claim notice (a "Claim Notice") to the Stockholder Representative, counsel to the Stockholder Representative, and to the Escrow Agent. Each Claim Notice shall state that Parent believes that there is or has been a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in the Merger Agreement or that Parent is otherwise entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 9 or Section 10.3 of the Merger Agreement, and contain a brief description of the circumstances supporting such Parent's belief that there is or has been such a breach or that Parent is so entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement and shall, to the extent possible, contain a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount of Damages Parent claims to have so incurred or suffered (the "Claimed Amount"). 3.2 Within 30 days after receipt by the Escrow Agent, the Stockholder Representative and its counsel of a Claim Notice, the Stockholder Representative may deliver to the Parent and to the Escrow Agent a written response (the "Response Notice") in which the Stockholder Representative: (i) agrees that Escrow Cash in an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount may be released from the Escrow Account to the Parent; (ii) agrees that Escrow Cash in an amount equal to part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the "Agreed Amount") may be released from the Escrow Account to the Parent; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Escrow Fund may be released from the Escrow Account to the Parent in respect of the Claimed Amount. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be released to the Parent pursuant to the Response Notice shall be the "Contested Amount." If a Response Notice is not received by the Escrow Agent within such 30-day period, then the Stockholder Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that Escrow Cash in an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount may be released to the Parent from the Escrow Account. 4 3.3 If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Response Notice agreeing that Escrow Cash in an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount may be released from the Escrow Account to the Parent, or if the Stockholder Representative does not deliver a Response Notice on a timely basis in accordance with Section 3.2, the Escrow Agent shall within five business days following the receipt of such Response Notice (or, if the Escrow Agent has not received a Response Notice, within five business days following the expiration of the 30-day period referred to in Section 3.2), deliver to Parent Escrow Cash in the amount of the Claimed Amount (or, if less, the aggregate amount of the Escrow Cash then in the Escrow Account), which delivery shall constitute satisfaction of the full Claimed Amount. 3.4 If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Response Notice agreeing that Escrow Cash in an amount equal to less than the full Claimed Amount may be released from the Escrow Account to the Parent, the Escrow Agent shall, within five business days following the receipt of such Response Notice, deliver to Parent Escrow Cash in an amount equal to the Agreed Amount (or, if less, the aggregate amount of the Escrow Cash then in the Escrow Account). Such payment shall not be deemed to be made in full satisfaction of the claim described in such Claim Notice, but shall count toward the satisfaction of the claim described in such Claim Notice. 3.5 If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Stockholder Representative and the Parent shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Parent and the Stockholder Representative resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on all of the Merger Stockholders and Parent and a settlement agreement shall be signed by Parent, the Indemnitee and the Stockholder Representative and sent to the Escrow Agent, which shall, upon receipt thereof, if applicable, release Escrow Cash from the Escrow Account in accordance with such agreement. Unless and until the Escrow Agent shall receive written notice from both the Parent and the Stockholder's Representative that any such dispute has been resolved by the Parent and the Stockholder Representative, the Escrow Agent may assume without inquiry that such dispute has not been resolved. 3.6 If the Stockholder Representative and the Parent are unable to resolve the dispute relating to any Contested Amount within 60 days after the delivery of the Claim Notice ("Initial Resolution Period"), then the claim described in the Claim Notice shall be settled by binding arbitration in the State of California in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA Rules"). Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator, mutually selected by Parent and the Stockholder Representative. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative fail to mutually select an arbitrator within three business days following the expiration of the Initial Resolution Period, then the American Arbitration Association shall select the arbitrator.

The Escrow Agent shall incur no liability with respect to any action taken by it or for any inaction on its part in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and duly authorized, nor for any other action or inaction except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. In all questions arising under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may rely on the advice of counsel, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Escrow Agent based upon such advice the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, punitive or consequential damages. 6.2 Parent and the Stockholder Representative (acting on behalf of the Merger Stockholders but only to the extent of their respective interests in the Escrow Fund) hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold it and them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent carrying out its duties hereunder. This right of indemnification, compensation and reimbursement shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the resignation of the Escrow Agent. 7 SECTION 7. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date or, if earlier, upon the release by the Escrow Agent of the entire Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Escrow Agent has received from Parent a Claim Notice setting forth a claim that has not been resolved by the Termination Date, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the claim has been resolved and the Escrow Fund released in accordance with this Agreement. SECTION 8. SUCCESSOR ESCROW AGENT. In the event the Escrow Agent becomes unavailable or unwilling to continue as escrow agent under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder by giving its written resignation to the parties to this Agreement. Such resignation shall take effect not less than 30 days after it is given to all parties hereto. In such event, Parent may appoint a successor Escrow Agent, subject to the consent of the Stockholder's Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with written instructions from Parent as to the transfer of the Escrow Fund to a successor escrow agent. Any corporation into which Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of Escrow Agent (including the administration of the Escrow Fund) may be transferred, shall be Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.

Parent and the Escrow Agent shall be 8 notified promptly in writing of such appointment.
