    (c) At the Effective Time, each share of innoCOMM Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares (as defined herein)) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive in cash, without interest, an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the Adjusted Consideration (as defined below) divided by (B) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock outstanding three days before the Closing Date plus (y) the total number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of innoCOMM Preferred Stock outstanding three days before the Closing Date plus (z) the total number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock subject to innoCOMM Options, warrants or other convertible securities three days before the Closing Date (such amount, the "Adjusted Per Share Price"). For purposes of this Agreement, the "Adjusted Consideration" means an amount equal to One Hundred Thirty Million Dollars ($130,000,000) (i) reduced by the absolute value of the Estimated Adjustment Amount, if the Estimated Adjustment Amount is a positive number, (ii) increased by the absolute value of the Estimated Adjustment Amount, if the Estimated Adjustment Amount is a negative number, and (iii) reduced by the Excess Transaction Costs, if any.

    (d) The amounts described in clauses (a) - (c) shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.5; provided, however, that the aggregate amount payable to each Employee Shareholder shall be further subject to Section 3.3; and provided further that payments with respect to any shares of innoCOMM Common Stock that are subject to forfeiture or vesting restrictions as of the date hereof shall be subject to Section 3.9.

    3.3  Payments to Employee Shareholders. Notwithstanding Section 3.5 below, the aggregate amount payable to each Employee Shareholder pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.4 shall be payable in three equal installments, as follows:

    (a) The first installment payable to each Employee Shareholder shall be due and payable immediately following the Effective Time upon the surrender by such Employee Shareholder of his or her certificate representing innoCOMM Common Stock or innoCOMM Preferred Stock, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 3.5(a);

    (b) The second installment payable to each Employee Shareholder shall be due and payable upon the later of (i) the one-year anniversary of the Effective Time and (ii) the surrender by such Employee Shareholder of his or her certificate representing innoCOMM Common Stock or innoCOMM Preferred

9

Stock, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 3.5(a); provided, however, that the amounts payable to the Employee Shareholders pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis among the Employee Shareholders based upon the number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock held by each such Employee Shareholder or subject to innoCOMM Options held by such Employee Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the extent of the amount by which the Actual Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Adjustment Amount, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.7, to the extent of any indemnity claim previously asserted by National, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives pursuant to Section 12.2 and to the extent of any expenses incurred by the Shareholder Representative for which the Shareholder Representative seeks reimbursement from the Employee Shareholders in the manner contemplated by Section 13.2. Any amounts remaining after the final resolution of the foregoing claims, if any, shall be allocated among the Employee Shareholders on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock held by each such Employee Shareholder or subject to innoCOMM Options held by such Employee Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time and distributed in the manner contemplated by this Section 3.3(b); and

    (c) The third installment payable to each Employee Shareholder shall be due and payable upon the later of (i) the two-year anniversary of the Effective Time and (ii) the surrender by such Employee Shareholder of his or her certificate representing innoCOMM Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.5(a); provided, however, National shall pay the installment payable to each Founder (but not any of the other Employee Shareholders) pursuant to this clause (c) in shares of National Common Stock (the "National Shares") if (A) such Founder has been continuously employed by National or an Affiliate of National from the Effective Time through the second anniversary of the Effective Time, or such Founder was terminated by National without Cause or terminated his employment for Good Reason, and (B) the average closing price of National Common Stock as reported on the NYSE Composite Tape for the five trading days prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date exceeds the National Average Price. The number of shares of National Common Stock to be issued to any Founder shall equal the quotient of (x) the dollar amount of the third installment payment payable to such Founder divided by (y) the National Average Price. In the event National changes the number of shares of National Common Stock issued and outstanding as a result of a stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization with respect to such stock and the record date therefor (in the case of a stock dividend) or the effective date thereof (in the case of a stock split or similar recapitalization for which a record date is not established) shall be prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Time, the number of National Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) and, for purposes of clause (b) above, the National Average Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

    To the extent that an Employee Shareholder has surrendered his or her certificate representing innoCOMM Common Stock or innoCOMM Preferred Stock, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 3.5(a) prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Time, as the case may be, National shall make the second and third installment payments without further notice or inquiry from such Employee Shareholder. National shall make such payments by sending checks drawn on a National bank account to the last address provided by such Employee Shareholder to National.

    3.4  Treatment of innoCOMM Options. Prior to the Effective Time, innoCOMM shall offer to pay, subject to consummation of the Merger and subject to Section 3.9, each holder of an innoCOMM Option as of the Effective Time an amount equal to (x) the aggregate Adjusted Per Share Price into which the shares of innoCOMM Common Stock subject to such innoCOMM Option (whether vested or unvested) as of the Effective Time would have been converted under Section 3.2 if such innoCOMM Option had been exercised with respect to all of the shares subject thereto immediately prior to the Effective Time, reduced by (y) (I) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of innoCOMM Common Stock subject to such innoCOMM Option and (II) the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required on such payment (which National shall cause innoCOMM to duly withhold for the account of

10

such option holder), in return for the cancellation of such innoCOMM Option; provided that in the case of Employee Shareholders, payment of such amount shall be made in accordance with Section 3.3 and the last sentence of this Section 3.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent an Employee Shareholder has not been continuously employed by innoCOMM and/or National from the date hereof through the first or second anniversary of the Effective Time, as the case may be, the payment to be made to such Employee Shareholder on such date pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be reduced by multiplying it by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares as to which such Employee Shareholder's innoCOMM Option(s) had vested immediately prior to the Effective Time and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of innoCOMM Stock subject to the Employee Shareholder's innoCOMM Option(s) immediately prior to the Effective Time, unless such Employee Shareholder's employment with innoCOMM and/or National was terminated without Cause or was terminated by such Employee Shareholder for Good Reason before such anniversary date, in which case the payment to be made to such Employee Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.3 on the first or second anniversary of the Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be determined pursuant to the following formula:

AP = P{V/T + N/12[(T-V)/T]}

Where:

AP is the adjusted payment to be made to such Employee Shareholder on such date;

P is the payment that would have been made to such Employee Shareholder if he or she had been continuously employed by innoCOMM, National or an Affiliate of National through the date of the payment;

V is the number of shares as to which such Employee Shareholder's innoCOMM Option(s) had vested immediately prior to the Effective Time;

T is the total number of shares of innoCOMM Stock subject to the Employee Shareholder's innoCOMM Option(s) immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

N is the number of full months the Employee Shareholder was employed by innoCOMM and/or National following the Effective Time (in the case of the installment payment contemplated by Section 3.3(b)) or the first anniversary of the Effective Time (in the case of the installment payment contemplated by Section 3.3(c)).

    National shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make or otherwise arrange for the payment required by this Section 3.4 to each holder of an innoCOMM Option as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (or pursuant to Section 3.3, as the case may be), upon delivery to innoCOMM of the written agreement representing such innoCOMM Option and such other information or documents as innoCOMM or National may reasonably require.

    3.5  Surrender of Certificates.

    (a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, each Person holding a certificate or certificates representing shares of innoCOMM Common Stock or innoCOMM Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall deliver such certificate(s), a letter of transmittal in a form to be agreed upon by innoCOMM and National, which will contain, among other things, such Person's mailing address, and a Form W-9 to Surviving Corporation or its transfer agent. In the event that any such holder no longer has in his or her possession any such certificate(s), such holder shall, in lieu of surrendering such certificate(s), deliver to Surviving Corporation an affidavit of that fact whereupon National may, in its reasonable discretion, require the holder of such lost certificate(s) to indemnify National against any claim that may be made against National or any of its Affiliates with respect to the certificate. Thereupon, each such holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash consideration in the amount and in the manner described in Sections 3.2 and

11

3.3, without interest, and Surviving Corporation shall pay and National shall cause Surviving Corporation to pay such amount promptly to the holder.

    (b) Each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of innoCOMM Common Stock or innoCOMM Preferred Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time until such certificate is surrendered to Surviving Corporation or its transfer agent, be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive the consideration per share described in Section 3.2. No interest shall be payable upon any cash consideration.

    (c) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers of any shares of innoCOMM Common Stock or innoCOMM Preferred Stock on the stock transfer books of Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing shares of innoCOMM Common Stock or innoCOMM Preferred Stock are presented to Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration per share provided for by Section 3.2.

    3.6  Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of innoCOMM capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 1300 of the California GCL, if such Section 1300 provides for appraisal rights for such shares in the Merger ("Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration as provided in Section 3.2, unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his right to appraisal and payment under the California GCL. If, after the appraisal, any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, then such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled. innoCOMM shall give National prompt notice of any demands received by innoCOMM for appraisal of shares and, prior to the Effective Time, National shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, innoCOMM shall not, except with the prior written consent of National, make any payments with respect to or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

    3.7  Adjustment Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, "Adjustment Amount" shall mean the amount, if any, by which (i) the difference of (x) $266,451.07 minus (y) the product of (A) $22,500 times (B) the number of days, inclusive, between January 31, 2001 and the Closing Date exceeds (ii) the sum of (v) innoCOMM's Working Capital on the Closing Date plus (x) any Excess Transaction Costs appearing as current liabilities in accordance with GAAP plus (y) the amount of any current liabilities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as of the Closing Date associated with the offer to pay holders of innoCOMM Options the amounts contemplated by Section 3.4 in return for the cancellation of such innoCOMM Options plus (z) the amount of any current liabilities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as of the Closing Date associated with the incentive bonus program to be adopted by innoCOMM pursuant to Section 7.6(b) hereof. "Working Capital" shall mean the amount by which innoCOMM's current assets determined in accordance with GAAP exceed innoCOMM's current liabilities determined in accordance with GAAP. The above calculation of the Adjustment Amount assumes that innoCOMM's Working Capital on the Closing Date reflects either the payment by innoCOMM or the accrual by innoCOMM of (i) up to $120,000 for the actual, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and any other advisors, representatives or consultants incurred by innoCOMM in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, excluding any fees or expenses payable to Sterling, and (ii) up to $1,000,000 for fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses payable to Sterling in connection with the services rendered to innoCOMM in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. As contemplated by Section 3.2(c), the Adjustment Amount may be a negative number. At least five business days prior to the Closing, innoCOMM shall estimate the Adjustment Amount (which

12

estimated amount is referred to herein as the "Estimated Adjustment Amount"). The Adjusted Consideration shall be based on the Estimated Adjustment Amount as determined above. Within 90 days after the Effective Time, National shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholder Representative a determination (the "Determination") of the actual amount of the Adjustment Amount as of the Closing Date (which actual amount is referred to herein as the "Actual Adjustment Amount") including the basis for such Determination. If, within 30 days after the date on which a Determination is delivered to the Shareholder Representative, the Shareholder Representative shall not have given written notice to National setting forth in detail any objections to such Determination, then such Determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. In the event the Shareholder Representative gives written notice of any objection to such Determination within such 30-day period, National and the Shareholder Representative shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within 30 days following the receipt by National of the written notice from the Shareholder Representative. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement within such 30-day period, the matter shall be submitted to a nationally-recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to the parties (other than KPMG LLP) or chosen by lot among the remaining "big five" (or such lesser number, if applicable) nationally-recognized firms if the parties are unable to so mutually agree for determination of the Actual Adjustment Amount which shall be final and binding upon National and the Shareholder Representative. National and the Employee Shareholders shall each contribute 50% of all fees and costs charged by the accounting firm in connection with the resolution of any such dispute. To effect any such contribution required to be made by the Employee Shareholders pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the parties shall reduce the Actual Adjustment Amount by an amount equal to the required contribution. National will provide the Shareholder Representative and his advisors with reasonable access to the books and records of innoCOMM for the purposes of evaluating the Determination and determining the Actual Adjustment Amount. If the Actual Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, the aggregate payments remaining to be made by National to the Employee Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the Actual Adjustment Amount and the Estimated Adjustment Amount, with such reduction allocated on a pro rata basis among the Employee Shareholders based upon the number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock held by each such Employee Shareholder or subject to innoCOMM Options held by such Employee Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time. If the Actual Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, National will promptly pay to the Shareholders and holders of innoCOMM Options pro rata based upon the number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock held by each such Shareholder or subject to innoCOMM Options held by such Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time cash in an amount equal to the amount of the difference between the Estimated Adjustment Amount and the Actual Adjustment Amount.

    3.8  Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Each of National, Merger Sub, innoCOMM and the Founders shall take all such reasonable lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as practicable.

    3.9  Disqualified Individual Payments. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.3 or 3.4 to the contrary, no payment thereunder with respect to (i) any shares of innoCOMM Common Stock that are subject to forfeiture or vesting restrictions as of the date hereof or (ii) an innoCOMM Option shall be made to any individual who is a "disqualified individual" (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code and the proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to innoCOMM unless the right of such individual to receive such payment has been approved by the shareholders of innoCOMM in an approval satisfying the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

   (viii) Fiduciary Duties and Prohibited Transactions. Neither innoCOMM nor any plan fiduciary of any Welfare Plan or Pension Plan which covers or has covered employees or former employees of innoCOMM or any ERISA Affiliate, has engaged in any transaction in violation of Sections 404 or 406 of ERISA or any "prohibited transaction," as defined in Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, for which no exemption exists under Section 408 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(2) or (d) of the Code.

    4.21  Compliance with Law. innoCOMM has conducted the Business in material compliance with all applicable Court Orders and Regulations. Neither innoCOMM nor any Founder has received any notice to the effect that, or has otherwise been advised that, innoCOMM is not in compliance with any Court Orders or Regulations, and neither innoCOMM nor any Founder is aware of any existing circumstances that are likely to result in any material violation of any Court Order or Regulations.

True and correct copies of all Proprietary Rights (including all pending applications and application related documents and materials) which have been documented and are owned, controlled or used by or on behalf of innoCOMM or in which innoCOMM has any interest whatsoever have been provided or made available to National.

    (b) Adequacy. The Proprietary Rights owned by innoCOMM ("innoCOMM's Owned Proprietary Rights") or controlled or used by innoCOMM ("Third Party Proprietary Rights," and together with innoCOMM's Owned Proprietary Rights, "innoCOMM's Proprietary Rights") are all those necessary for the normal conduct of the Business as presently conducted and, to the knowledge of innoCOMM (without having conducted a patent search), as presently contemplated, including the design, manufacture and sale of all products currently under development, planned for development or in production.

    (c) Royalties and Licenses. innoCOMM has no obligation to pay royalties or other compensation for the use of any of innoCOMM's Proprietary Rights nor has innoCOMM granted to any Person any license, option or other rights to use in any manner any of innoCOMM's Proprietary Rights, whether requiring the payment of royalties or not, except as set forth in Schedule 4.22.

    (d) Ownership. innoCOMM owns or has a valid right to use innoCOMM's Proprietary Rights, and innoCOMM's Proprietary Rights will not cease to be valid rights of innoCOMM by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except as set forth on Schedule 4.22(d).

    (f)  Protection of Proprietary Rights. innoCOMM has made the applications and filings pursuant to applicable laws listed on Schedule 4.22 to perfect or protect innoCOMM's Owned Proprietary Rights and has not taken any actions or omitted to take any actions, which actions or omissions would impair innoCOMM's ability to obtain patent, copyright or mask work protection pursuant to applicable laws or that would cause any of innoCOMM's Owned Proprietary Rights to lose its status as a trade secret or proprietary right of innoCOMM. The pending applications for innoCOMM's Owned Proprietary Rights have been duly filed, and all actions necessary or appropriate to protect innoCOMM's Owned Proprietary Rights have been taken. innoCOMM has taken all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate (including, entering into appropriate confidentiality, nondisclosure and proprietary rights agreements with officers, directors, subcontractors, independent contractors, full-time and part-time employees, licensees and customers in connection with the Assets or the Business) to safeguard and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of, and the proprietary rights in, innoCOMM's Owned Proprietary Rights material to the Business.

Schedule 4.24 contains a complete and accurate list of all policies or binders of insurance (showing as to each policy or binder the carrier, policy number, coverage limits, expiration dates, annual premiums, a general description of the type of coverage provided and any pending claims thereunder) of which innoCOMM is the owner, insured or beneficiary. All of such policies are sufficient for (i) compliance with all material Regulations and all of the Contracts and (ii) covering such risks as are in accordance with normal industry practice for companies engaged in businesses similar to that of innoCOMM (taking into account the cost and availability of such insurance). innoCOMM is not in default under any of such policies or binders, and it has not prejudiced coverage by failing to give any notice or to present any claim under any such policy or binder in a due and timely fashion. There are no facts known to innoCOMM or Founders upon which an insurer might be justified in reducing or denying coverage or increasing premiums on existing policies or binders. There are no outstanding unpaid claims under any such policies or binders.

Neither innoCOMM nor, to its knowledge, any of its Representatives acting on its behalf, have accepted or received any unlawful contributions, payments, gifts or expenditures. innoCOMM has not participated, directly or indirectly, in any boycotts or other similar practices affecting any of its actual or potential customers.

    4.27  Customers and Suppliers. Schedule 4.27 sets forth a complete and accurate list of the names and addresses of (i) the five customers who purchased from innoCOMM the greatest dollar volume of services and products during its last fiscal year, showing the approximate total sales in dollars to each such customer during such fiscal year, and (ii) all suppliers with sales to innoCOMM greater than $50,000 during the last fiscal year, showing the approximate total purchases in dollars by innoCOMM from each such supplier during such fiscal year. Since the Balance Sheet Date, there has been no adverse change in any material respect in the business relationship of innoCOMM with any customer or supplier named on Schedule 4.27. Neither innoCOMM nor any Founder has received any written communication from any customer or supplier named on Schedule 4.27 of any intention to return, terminate or materially reduce purchases from or supplies to innoCOMM under existing contracts.

Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation is brought against any Indemnified Parties (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them and the Surviving Corporation, and innoCOMM or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received and otherwise advance to such Indemnified Party upon request reimbursement of reasonable documented expenses incurred, in either case to the fullest extent and in the manner permitted by the California GCL; and (ii) innoCOMM or the Surviving Corporation will use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter, provided that neither innoCOMM nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.12, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify National and innoCOMM (or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve a party from any liability which it may have under this Section 7.12 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices such party). The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any

35

significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties. innoCOMM, National and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in defense of any action or suit, existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties with respect to matters occurring through the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than seven years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Indemnified Liabilities asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Indemnified Liabilities.

    7.12  Obligations of Merger Sub. National will take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

INDEMNIFICATION

    12.1  Survival of Representations. All statements contained in this Agreement, any schedule or in any certificate or instrument of conveyance delivered by or on behalf of the parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the parties hereunder. The representations and warranties of

39

innoCOMM and Founders contained herein shall survive the Closing Date for a period of (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations and warranties may be asserted at any time before the date which shall be) twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, the representations and warranties in Section 4.9 (Title to Assets), Section 4.19 (Employee Benefit Plans) and Section 4.23 (Tax Matters) shall survive for a period equal to the relevant statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) plus 30 calendar days. No investigation made by any of the parties hereto shall in any way limit the representations and warranties of the parties. On the Closing Date all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and made by any Founder or innoCOMM shall expire as to innoCOMM and thereafter will be deemed to have been made exclusively by the Founders and the Shareholders. The termination of the representations and warranties provided herein shall not affect the rights of a party in respect of any claim made by such party in a writing received by the other party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period provided herein.

    12.2  Indemnification.

    (a) General. The Employee Shareholders shall jointly and severally indemnify, save and hold harmless National and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all costs, losses (including diminution in value), Taxes, Liabilities, obligations, damages, lawsuits, deficiencies, claims, demands, and expenses (whether or not arising out of third-party claims), including interest, penalties, costs of mitigation, losses in connection with any Environmental Law (including any clean-up or remedial action), damages to the environment, attorneys' fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing, in each case after taking into account any insurance proceeds received by the indemnified Person and related tax benefits (herein, "Damages"), incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, made by innoCOMM or any Founder in this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by innoCOMM or any Founder in this Agreement; (iii) any violation of export control Regulations, whether or not disclosed by innoCOMM or the Founders to National and Merger Sub; and (iv) any claim made by Pro Associates that it has a right to receive shares of innoCOMM capital stock, whether or not disclosed by innoCOMM or the Founders to National and Merger Sub. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the indemnity obligations of the Employee Shareholders in this Section 12.2 shall at no time exceed the aggregate amount payable by National pursuant to Section 3.3(b), as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.7.

    The term "Damages" is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against an indemnified Person, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by the indemnified Person in the absence of third party claims. Payments by an indemnified Person of amounts for which it is indemnified hereunder shall not be a condition precedent to recovery.

    (b) Procedure for Claims between Parties. If a claim for Damages is to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder, the party claiming such indemnification shall give written notice to the Shareholder Representative as soon as practicable after the indemnified Person becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 12.2. Any failure to submit any such notice of claim to the Shareholder Representative shall not relieve any Employee Shareholder of any liability hereunder, except to the extent such Employee Shareholder is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Employee Shareholders shall be deemed to have accepted the notice of claim and to have agreed to pay the Damages at issue if the Shareholder Representative does not send a notice of disagreement to the indemnified Person within 30 calendar days after receiving the notice of claim. In the case of a disputed claim, the parties shall use best efforts to resolve the matter internally on an expeditious basis and in any event within 45 calendar days after the notice is received by the Shareholder Representative.

40

    (c) Defense of Third-Party Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any indemnified Person, written notice thereof shall be given to the Shareholder Representative as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 15 calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). The failure of any indemnified Person to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Employee Shareholders demonstrate they were actually prejudiced by such failure. After such notice, if the Shareholder Representative shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified Person that the Employee Shareholders shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the Employee Shareholders shall be entitled, if they so elect at their own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of their own choice to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both an Employee Shareholder and the indemnified Person and the indemnified Person has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Employee Shareholder(s), in which event the indemnified Person shall be entitled, at the Employee Shareholders' cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnified Person, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnified Person shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Employee Shareholders and their attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnified Person may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Employee Shareholders fail to assume the defense of such claim within 15 calendar days after receipt of the notice of claim by the Shareholder Representative, the indemnified Person against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Shareholder Representative) have the right to undertake, at the Employee Shareholders' cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Employee Shareholders; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnified Person assumes the defense of the claim, the indemnified Person will keep the Shareholder Representative reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Employee Shareholders shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 12.2 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Employee Shareholders shall indemnify and hold harmless an indemnified Person from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.

    (d) Brokers and Finders. Pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.2, National, on the one hand, and Employee Shareholders, on the other, shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other from the payment of any and all brokers' and finders' expenses, commissions, fees or other forms of compensation which may be due or payable from or by the indemnifying Person, or may have been earned by any third party acting on behalf of the indemnifying Person in connection with the negotiation and execution hereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for the payments to be made to Sterling in the amounts and in the manner contemplated hereby.

    (e) Right of Offset. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, National may withhold and set off against any amounts due the Employee Shareholders under Section 3.3(b) hereof, any amount as to which the Employee Shareholders are obligated to indemnify National and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives (or any of them) pursuant to this Section 12.2. National shall notify the Shareholder Representative in writing of any claim it has for such set off promptly after National discovers the basis for any such set off claim. Such notice shall include the

41

amount of the intended set off (to the extent then known), the basis for such set off claim and the date of the intended set off (to the extent then known). Any disputes hereunder with respect to a set off shall be resolved in accordance with Section 14.12 hereof.

    (f)  Limitations. National's rights to setoff set forth in Section 12.2(e) shall be National's sole remedy under this Agreement against the Shareholders in the absence of fraud, willful misrepresentation or an intentional breach of any covenants or agreements of any party under this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule or exhibit delivered pursuant hereto. National shall not be entitled to recover for any Damages until such time as the Damages in the aggregate reasonably claimed by National exceed $200,000 (the "Damage Threshold"), at which time National shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for all such Damages, including Damages included in the Damage Threshold; provided, however, that the Damage Threshold shall not apply to Damages relating to violations of export control Regulations or Damages arising out any claim made by Pro Associates that it has a right to receive shares of innoCOMM capital stock or options. In no event shall the Shareholders' actual aggregate cumulative liability for Damages under this Agreement exceed the aggregate amount payable by innoCOMM to the Employee Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.3(b) and each such Shareholder's liability shall be capped at such Shareholder's pro rata share of the aggregate amount payable by innoCOMM to the Employee Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.3(b).

    12.3  No Right of Indemnification or Contribution. Each of the Founders hereby agrees that he will not make any claim for indemnification against innoCOMM by reason of the fact that he was a director, officer, employee or agent of innoCOMM or was serving at the request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand brought by National against such Founder (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise). After the Closing, innoCOMM shall have no liability to indemnify National or any Shareholder on account of the breach of any representation or warranty or the nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of any Shareholder; and, except as set forth in Section 7.12, no Shareholder shall have any right of contribution against innoCOMM (unless such claim for contribution relates to a Liability of innoCOMM existing at or arising after the Closing Date and the existence of such Liability does not breach any of Founder's representations and warranties contained herein).

ARTICLE XIII

SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

    13.1  Election and Replacement. During the period ending upon the date when all obligations under this Agreement have been discharged (including all indemnification obligations under Section 12.2 hereof), Employee Shareholders who immediately prior to the Effective Time held an aggregate number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of innoCOMM Options, which exceeded 50% of the number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of innoCOMM Options, held by Employee Shareholders immediately prior to the Effective Time (a "Majority"), may, from time to time upon written notice to the Shareholder Representative and National, remove the Shareholder Representative (including any appointed by National) or appoint a new Shareholder Representative to fill any vacancy created by the death, incapacitation, resignation or removal of the Shareholder Representative. Furthermore, if the Shareholder Representative dies, becomes incapacitated, resigns or is removed by a Majority, the Majority shall appoint a successor Shareholder Representative to fill the vacancy so created. If the

42

Majority is required to but has not appointed a successor Shareholder Representative within fifteen (15) business days from a request by National to appoint a successor Shareholder Representative, National shall have the right to appoint a Shareholder Representative to fill any vacancy so created from the directors of innoCOMM prior to the Merger, and shall advise the Employee Shareholders of such appointment by written notice. A copy of any appointment by the Majority of any successor Shareholder Representative shall be provided to National promptly after it shall have been effected.

    13.2  Authority. The Shareholder Representative shall be authorized to take any action and to make and deliver any certificate, notice, consent or instrument required or permitted to be made or delivered under this Agreement or under the documents referred to in this Agreement (an "Instrument") which the Shareholder Representative determines in his discretion to be necessary, appropriate or desirable, and, in connection therewith, to hire or retain, at the sole expense of the Employee Shareholders, such counsel, investment bankers, accountants, representatives and other professional advisors as he determines in his sole and absolute discretion to be necessary, advisable or appropriate in order to carry out and perform his rights and obligations hereunder. Any party receiving an Instrument from the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to rely in good faith upon such Instrument, and to act in accordance with the Instrument without independent investigation. The Employee Shareholders shall share, on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of innoCOMM Common Stock held by each such Employee Shareholder or subject to innoCOMM Options held by such Employee Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, the expenses of the Shareholder Representative. Upon the written request of the Shareholder Representative delivered to National prior to the one-year anniversary of the Effective Time, National shall withhold from the payments contemplated by Section 3.3(b) and pay to the Shareholder Representative an amount equal to expenses incurred by the Shareholder Representative through the date of his or her written request to National. The Shareholder Representative shall certify in any such written request that the amount to be withheld from the payments to be made pursuant to Section 3.3(b) represents actual, reasonable expenses incurred by the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Section 13.2.

    13.3  No Liability of National. National (and the Surviving Corporation) shall have no liability to any of the Employee Shareholders or otherwise arising out of the acts or omissions of the Shareholder Representative or any disputes among the Employee Shareholders or with the Shareholder Representative. National may rely entirely on its dealings with, and notices to and from, the Shareholder Representative to satisfy any obligations it might have under this Agreement or otherwise to the Shareholders. The Employee Shareholders shall indemnify National and Merger Sub for any damages suffered, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and other costs, as a result of National or Merger Sub's good faith reliance on the acts or omissions of the Shareholder Representative.
