Now, therefore, in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows.

The Basic Shares and the Subsequent Shares shall together be referred to herein as the “Merger Shares.”
 
(vi)   In addition to being subject to the other restrictions on the Subsequent Shares, the first in time to be issued of the Subsequent Shares, in an amount equal to $1,500,000 divided by the Average Pre-Signing Price, issuable to each former holder of Common Shares shall be subject to the Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 1.3(f) (the “Subsequent Escrow Shares” and together with the Preferred Escrow Shares and the Basic Escrow Shares, the “Escrow Shares”).

1.6  Dissenting Shares.
 
4

 
(a)  For purposes of this Agreement, “Dissenting Shares” means Company Shares held as of the Effective Time by a Company Stockholder who has not voted such Company Shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and with respect to which appraisal shall have been duly demanded and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited prior to the Effective Time. Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration, unless such Company Stockholder shall have forfeited his, her or its right to appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law or properly withdrawn, his, her or its demand for appraisal. If such Company Stockholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then (i) as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 1.5, and (ii) and shall be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration.
 
(b)  The Company shall give the Buyer (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Buyer, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Shares or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
 
1.7  Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Merger Shares shall be issued to former Company Stockholders upon the surrender for exchange of Company Shares or certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented Company Shares converted into Merger Shares pursuant to Section 1.5 (including any Company Shares referred to in the last sentence of Section 1.6(a)) (“Certificates”), and Company Stockholders shall not be entitled to any voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or distributions or other rights as a stockholder of the Buyer with respect to any fractional Merger Shares that would have otherwise been issued to such Company Stockholder. In lieu of any fractional Merger Shares that would have otherwise been issued, each Company Stockholder that would have been entitled to receive a fractional Merger Share shall, upon proper surrender of such person’s Certificates, receive a cash payment equal to the closing price per share of the Buyer Common Stock on the OTCBB on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, multiplied by the fraction of a share that such Company Stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive.
 
1.8  Options and Warrants. 
 
(a)  As of the Effective Time, the Company’s obligations under all unvested options to purchase Common Shares issued by the Company pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan (the “Option Plan”) or otherwise (collectively, “Options”) and the Option Plan, insofar as it relates to Options outstanding under such Plan immediately after the Effective Time, shall be assumed by the Buyer. Immediately after the Effective Time, each unvested Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Option at the Effective Time, such number of shares of Buyer Common Stock as is equal to the number of Common Shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Option multiplied by the Basic Common Conversion Ratio (subject to the Lockup Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Lockup Agreement”), with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each such assumed Option shall be equal to the exercise price of such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Basic Common Conversion Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code, if applicable, and all of the other terms of the Options shall otherwise remain unchanged.

(b)  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the holders of each vested Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to exercise for cash or by cashless exercise and in each case in accordance with the Option Plan (or if not issued pursuant to the Option Plan, pursuant to the applicable option agreement) all of his or her vested Options, such vested Options to, accordingly, be cancelled, terminated and extinguished immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the underlying amount of Common Shares. The Company shall in its good faith discretion determine the terms of the cashless exercise provisions to be afforded to the holders of Options if and to the extent that Options do not contain cashless exercise provisions, provided, that such provisions shall be in form and substance agreed by the Buyer.
 
(c)  As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the holders of non-vested Options that remain outstanding after the Effective Time appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to such Options, as amended by this Section 1.8, and the agreements evidencing such Options shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the amendments provided for in this Section 1.8 and such notice).
 
(d)  The Buyer shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Buyer Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Options assumed in accordance with this Section 1.8. Within 90 days after the Effective Time, the Buyer shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”) with respect to all shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to such Options that may be registered on a Form S-8, and shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for so long as such Options remain outstanding.
 
(e)  The Company shall cause the termination, as of the Effective Time, of all unexpired and exercisable common stock purchase warrants issued by the Company prior to the Closing (the “Warrants”) which remain unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 
(f)  The Company shall obtain, prior to the Closing, the consent from each holder of an Option or a Warrant to the amendment (in the case of Options) or termination (in the case of Warrants) of such Option or Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.8 (unless such consent is not required under the terms of the Option Plan or other applicable agreement, instrument or Option grant).
 
1.9  Escrow. 
 
6

 
(a)  On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent stock certificates (issued in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee) representing the Escrow Shares for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholders (as defined in Section 6.1) set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. 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 party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
 
(b)  The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company Stockholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including without limitation the placement of the Escrow Shares in escrow and the appointment of the Indemnification Representative.
 
(c)  Within five (5) days of the date hereof, the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent $1,500,000 in cash to secure Buyers obligations pursuant to Article VII.
 
(d)  Within five (5) days of the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent $1,750,000 in cash or, a certificate for Company Shares (issued in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee) in an amount equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the then-issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company to secure the Company’s obligations in the event of a termination by the Buyer or the Company pursuant to Article VII. 
 
1.10  Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.
 
(a)  The Certificate of Incorporation of the Transitory Subsidiary shall continue as the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.
 
(b)  The By-laws of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time shall be the same as the By-laws of the Transitory Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 
1.11  No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, no Company Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as provided herein or by law.
 
1.12  Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for Merger Shares in accordance with Section 1.5, subject to Section 1.9 and to applicable law in the case of Dissenting Shares.
 
1.13  Basic Shares. In the event that at any time, or from time to time, Basic Shares in excess of those issued at Closing become issuable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Buyer shall promptly issue certificates for such Basic Shares and deliver such certificates to the Company Stockholders.

6.3  Indemnification Claims.
 
(a)  A party entitled, or seeking to assert rights, to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notification to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article VI may be sought. Such notification shall be given within 20 business days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such suit or proceeding, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such suit or proceeding and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such suit or proceeding constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VI and (B) the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is liable under this Article VI and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such suit or proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such suit or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further liability and has no other adverse effect on the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
41

 
(b)  In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, an Indemnified Party shall give written notification (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment (in the manner provided in paragraph (c) below) in the amount of such Damages. If the Indemnified Party is the Buyer, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a copy of the Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent.
 
(c)  Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, or such shorter period as may be necessitated by the nature and timing of the suit or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer; provided that if the Indemnified Party is the Buyer, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Buyer such number of Escrow Shares; (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer; provided that if the Indemnified Party is the Buyer, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Buyer such number of Escrow Shares as have an aggregate Value equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Agreed Amount) of Escrow Shares or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in the Response disputes its liability for all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.3(d) for the resolution of such dispute (a “Dispute”). For purposes of this Article VI, the “Value” of any Escrow Shares delivered in satisfaction of an indemnity claim shall be the closing price per share of the Buyer Common Stock on the OTCBB on the Closing Date (subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Buyer Common Stock since the Closing Date), multiplied by the number of such Escrow Shares.
 
42

 
(d)  During the 60-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution procedure (which may be non-binding or binding upon the parties, as they agree in advance) (the “ADR Procedure”). In the event the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree upon an ADR Procedure, such parties shall, in consultation with the chosen dispute resolution service (the “ADR Service”), promptly agree upon a format and timetable for the ADR Procedure, agree upon the rules applicable to the ADR Procedure, and promptly undertake the ADR Procedure. The provisions of this Section 6.3(d) shall not obligate the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party to pursue an ADR Procedure or prevent either such party from pursuing the Dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to pursue an ADR Procedure, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may commence litigation or seek other remedies with respect to the Dispute prior to the completion of such ADR Procedure. Any ADR Procedure undertaken by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be considered a compromise negotiation for purposes of federal and state rules of evidence, and all statements, offers, opinions and disclosures (whether written or oral) made in the course of the ADR Procedure by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party or the ADR Service shall be treated as confidential and, where appropriate, as privileged work product. Such statements, offers, opinions and disclosures shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes in any litigation or other proceeding relating to the Dispute (provided that this sentence shall not be construed to exclude from discovery or admission any matter that is otherwise discoverable or admissible). The fees and expenses of any ADR Service used by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be shared equally by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party.

(a)  the Buyer and the Company may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent;
 
48

 
(b)  the Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Company in the event the Company is in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, (i) would cause the conditions set forth in clauses (c) or (d) of Section 5.2 not to be satisfied and (ii) is not cured within 20 days following delivery by the Buyer to the Company of written notice of such breach;
