provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation,
and all debts, liabilities and duties of Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.



1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time, the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be identical to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance
with Delaware Law and as provided in such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to
read as follows: The name of the corporation is See Beyond Technology Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Company shall be amended and restated in their
entirety to be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such Bylaws.



1.5 Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by
Parent prior to the Effective Time, the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.
Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly appointed.
In addition, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the directors and
officers, respectively, of each of the Companys Subsidiaries immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office as a director or officer of each such Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the respective
jurisdiction of organization and the respective bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of each such Subsidiary.



1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, the following shall occur:



(a) Company Common Stock. Each share of the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (Company
Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(c) and any Dissenting Shares, will be canceled and extinguished and
automatically converted (subject to Section 1.7) into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to $4.25, without interest (such amount of cash hereinafter



A-2



---

referred to as the Merger Consideration) upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Common Stock in the manner
provided in Section 1.8(or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.10).



(b) Company Warrants and Cashed-Out Options.



(i) Following the Effective Time, all
warrants to purchase Company Common Stock issued by the Company (Company Warrants) shall represent only the right, upon the valid exercise thereof, if any, to receive the Merger Consideration payable upon the shares of Company
Common Stock previously issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrants and shall in no event be exercisable for any equity securities of Parent, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries. In addition, the Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to have all holders of Company Warrants either fully exercise such Company Warrants prior to the Effective Time or agree that such Company Warrants shall be terminated upon the Effective Time; provided, however, that the holder of any
such terminated Company Warrant shall be entitled to receive following the Effective Time, upon surrender of the certificate representing such Company Warrant, only an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the per share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price in effect for such Company Warrant.



(ii) At the Effective Time, each Company Option (A) granted
under the 1997 Stock Option Plan, (B) held by any Person other than an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (C) (x) granted under the 1998 Stock Plan (as amended and restated) and (y) that was vested as of the Closing Date
(including any such Company Options that vest solely by reason of the consummation of the Merger) other than, in the case of any Company Option referenced in clause (C), any Company Option that has a per share exercise price equal to or
greater than the Merger Consideration (each such Company Option referred to in clauses (A), (B) or (C), a Cashed-Out Option) that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time, and the holder of each Cashed-Out Option shall, be entitled to receive therefor an amount of cash (rounded down to
the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock as to which such Company Option was vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time (giving effect to any acceleration of vesting
resulting from the Merger), and (ii) the excess, if any, of the per share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.



(iii) Any materials to be submitted to the holders of Company Warrants or Cashed-Out Options shall be
subject to review and reasonable and timely approval by Parent.



(c) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company or Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company or of Parent
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.



(d) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, no par value, of Merger Sub (the Merger Sub Common
Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing
ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.



(e) Employee Stock Options; Employee Stock Purchase Plan. At the Effective Time, all Company Options, other than Cashed-Out
Options, outstanding under each Company Stock Option Plan shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.9. Rights outstanding under the Companys 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Company Purchase Plan)
shall be treated as set forth in Section 5.9(c).



(f) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend
or



A-3



---

distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to
Company Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.



1.7 Dissenting Shares.



(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who: (i)
has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing, (ii) has demanded its rights to appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law, and (iii) has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holders appraisal rights
(collectively, the Dissenting Shares), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Common Stock set forth in Section 1.6, but the holder thereof shall only be
entitled to such rights as are provided by Delaware Law, including the right to receive payment of the fair value of such holders Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of Delaware Law.



(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a),
if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holders appraisal rights under Delaware Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event,
such holders shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Common Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.6, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the
certificate representing such shares.



(c) The
Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in any negotiations and proceedings with respect
to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any communication to be made by the Company to any holder of
Company Common Stock with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any holder of Company Common Stock prior to the Company receiving Parents consent, which shall not be unreasonably delayed
or withheld.



1.8 Surrender of Certificates.



(a) Exchange
Agent. Parent shall select an institution reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as the exchange agent (the Exchange Agent) for the Merger.



(b) Parent to Provide Cash. On the Closing Date, Parent shall initiate a wire transfer to the
Exchange Agent of the aggregate Merger Consideration in cash payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a)in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Any cash deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the
Exchange Fund.



(c)
Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the
Certificates) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration set forth in Section 1.6(a):
(i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other
provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for cash constituting the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange
Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be required by
the Exchange Agent, the holder of record of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the cash constituting the Merger Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered,
outstanding Certificates will be deemed from



A-4



---

and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the ownership of the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common
Stock shall have been so converted.



(d)
Required Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder
of Company Common Stock, Company Warrants or Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) or under any provision of state,
local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, the amount of such consideration shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the
Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.



(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of
Company Common Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.



(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by
Parent on a daily basis; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to Company stockholders pursuant to this Article I and, if necessary, Parent shall deposit such additional funds as
become necessary to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to the Company stockholders due to losses incurred on any investment of the Exchange Fund. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the
Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable to Company stockholders pursuant to this Article I shall promptly be paid to Parent.



(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of
Certificates six months after the Effective Time shall, at the request of the Surviving Corporation, be delivered to the Surviving Corporation or otherwise according to the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of the
Certificates who have not surrendered such Certificates in compliance with this Section 1.8shall after such delivery to the Surviving Corporation, subject to Section 1.8(e), look only to the Surviving Corporation solely as general
creditors for the cash constituting the Merger Consideration (which shall not accrue interest) pursuant to Section 1.6(a)with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.



1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All
Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock,
and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are
presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.



1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent
shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such cash constituting the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that Parent may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against
Parent, the Company or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.



1.11 Further Action. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will be authorized
to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of



A-5



---

Company and Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title
and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.



ARTICLE II

will of the Company and its ERISA Affiliates.



(m) Works Council. There are no foreign works councils or collective bargaining agreements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are subject. The consummation of the Merger and the other transactions

material liability to the Company; (ii) is required under any Legal Requirements; or (iii) otherwise set forth in Section2.16(o)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the foregoing representations contained in Sections 2.16(c)
through 2.16(n), to the extent applicable, are accurate with respect to Employees located outside the United States and International Employee Plans. Each International Employee Plan has been established, maintained and administered in
material compliance with its terms and conditions and with the requirements prescribed by all statutory or regulatory laws that are applicable to such International Employee Plan. No International Employee Plan has unfunded liabilities, that as of
the Effective Time, will not be offset by insurance or fully accrued. Except as required by law, no condition exists that would prevent the Company or Parent from terminating or amending any International Employee Plan at any time for any reason.



(p) With respect to those Company Employee

consider providing nonpublic information to any Person. The Company shall notify Parent, in writing, of any decision of its Board of Directors as to whether
to consider such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry or to enter into discussions or negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal or to provide nonpublic information or data to any person, which notice shall be given no later than 24 hours
after such determination was reached. The Company agrees that it shall promptly provide Parent with oral and written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent currently informed in all material respects of

of all written materials that are subsequently provided to, by or on behalf of such Person or group in connection with such Acquisition Proposal that either contain material information about the Company or such Person or discuss the material terms

concluded (following consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor), is, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Offer, the Company may then (1) furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such
Acquisition Proposal and (2) engage in negotiations with the third party with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that prior to furnishing any nonpublic information or entering into any negotiations or discussions with
such third party, (1) the Company receives from such third party an executed confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all nonpublic written and oral information furnished to such third party on the
Companys behalf that is no less restrictive to such third party than the Confidentiality Agreement is with respect to Parent and (2) contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such third party, the Company furnishes
such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished).



(d) Change of Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), in response to
the receipt of a Superior Offer, (x) the Board of Directors of the Company may withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation in favor of the Merger, and, in the case of a Superior Offer that is a tender or exchange offer made directly to
the stockholders of the Company, may recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the tender or exchange offer (any of the foregoing actions, whether by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof, a Change of
Recommendation), (y) the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company or its Subsidiaries (including each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives) may approve, endorse, recommend any Superior
Offer or recommend a Superior Offer, or (z) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may execute or enter into, or propose to execute or enter into, any letter of intent of similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment (which may be
conditioned on the termination of this Agreement) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Superior Offer or transaction contemplated thereby, if all of the following conditions in clauses (i) through (vi) are met:



(i) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good
faith after consultation with the Companys financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that a Superior Offer has been made and not withdrawn;



(ii) The stockholders of the Company have not approved this agreement in accordance with applicable law;

Recommendation Notice) at least five calendar days prior to publicly effecting such Change of Recommendation which shall state expressly (A) that the Company has received a Superior Offer, (B) the final terms and conditions of the Superior
Offer and the identity of the Person or group making the Superior Offer, and (C) that the Company intends to effect a Change of Recommendation;



(iv) After delivering the Change of Recommendation Notice, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make such
adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement during such five calendar day period, and negotiate in good faith with respect thereto during such five calendar day period, as would enable the Company to proceed with its recommendation to
stockholders in favor of approval and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger without making a Change of Recommendation;



(v) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined (A) after consultation with its financial advisor, that the terms of the
Superior Offer is more favorable to the stockholders of the Company than the Merger (as it may be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (iv) above) and (B) after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation
would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Board of Directors fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable law; and



(vi) The Company shall not have breached any of the provisions set forth in Section 5.2 or this
Section 5.3.



(e) Compliance with
Disclosure Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from complying with Rules 14-a-9, 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the foregoing, the

Recommendation, take any action to change the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state law to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of
doubt, this Section 5.3(f)shall not prohibit the Company from effecting a Change of Recommendation under the circumstances and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 5.3.

shall promptly supply the other with any information that may be required in order to effectuate any filings or application pursuant to this Section 5.6(a).

prompt notice to Parent and Merger Sub of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate, or any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or
agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case such that the condition set forth in Sections 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) would not be satisfied.



(b) By Parent. Parent and Merger Sub shall give prompt notice to the Company of any
representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate, or any failure of Parent to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it
under this Agreement in each case such that the conditions set forth in Sections 6.3(a)or 6.3(b) would not be satisfied.



5.8 Third-Party Consents. As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek
such material consents, waivers and approvals under any of its or its Subsidiaries respective Contracts required to be obtained in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as may be reasonably requested by
Parent after consultation with the Company, including all consents, waivers and approvals set forth in Section 2.3(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Companys failure to obtain any consent set forth in
Section 2.3(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter or which is otherwise reasonably requested to be obtained by Parent pursuant to this Section 5.8, in each case, provided that the Company has used all reasonable efforts to seek such
consent, shall not give



A-39



---

rise to a failure to satisfy the condition to closing set forth in Section 6.2(b). If the consent required under the Companys Loan and Security
Agreement with Comerica Bank-California, dated as of December 4, 2000, as amended, and its related documents is not received prior to Closing, then, if requested by Parent, the Company will repay all amounts outstanding under and terminate such loan
and security agreement and the related documents effective as of the Closing Date. In connection with seeking such consents, waivers and approvals, the Company shall keep Parent informed of all material developments and, shall at Parents
request, include Parent in any discussions or communications with any parties whose consent, waiver or approval is sought hereunder. Such consents, waivers and approvals shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. In the event the Merger
does not close for any reason, Parent shall not have any liability to the Company, its stockholders or any other Person for any costs, claims, liabilities or damages resulting from the Company seeking to obtain such consents, waivers and approvals,
except if Parent has breached this Agreement such that the Company would have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(f).



5.9 Equity Awards and Employee Matters.



(a) Assumption of Employee Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each then outstanding Company Option other than Cashed-Out
Options, whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time and regardless of the respective exercise prices thereof, will be assumed by Parent. Each Company Option other than Cashed-Out Options so assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue
to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Company Option documents (including any applicable stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Company Option) immediately prior to the Effective Time
(including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (i) each such Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the
product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the ratio of the value of the per share Merger Consideration to the average of the
closing prices for a share of Parent Common Stock on the ten trading days ended one trading day prior to the Closing Date (such ratio, the Option Ratio), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock
and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such
Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each assumed Company Option shall be vested immediately following the Effective Time as to the same percentage of the
total number of shares subject thereto as to which it was vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such Company Option by its terms (including by the terms of any applicable Employee Agreement) as of the Effective Time
provides for acceleration of vesting upon the Effective Time. As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent will use all reasonable efforts to issue to each Person who holds an assumed Company Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of
such Company Option by Parent and, as a condition to such assumption, each former holder of a Company Option so assumed by Parent shall acknowledge the receipt of the same in exchange for such holders Company Option.



(b) Incentive Stock Options. The conversion of
Company Options provided for in Section 5.9(a), with respect to any options which are intended to be incentive stock options (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of
the Code.



(c) Termination of Company
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Purchase Plan shall be terminated. The rights of participants in the Company Purchase Plan with respect to any offering period then underway under the Company Purchase
Plan shall be determined by treating the Closing Date as the deemed exercise date in accordance with the terms of the Company Purchase Plan and by making such other pro-rata adjustments as may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period
but otherwise treating such shortened offering period as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the Company Purchase Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including timely distributing
notices to participants required by the terms of the Company Purchase Plan and, if appropriate, amending the terms of the Company Purchase Plan) that are



A-40



---

necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.9(c). The form and substance of any materials to be distributed to
participants in connection with the termination of the Company Purchase Plan shall be subject to reasonable and timely approval by Parent.



(d) Termination of 401(k) Plans. Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, each of the
Company, its Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate shall terminate any and all Company Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each a 401(k) Plan) unless Parent provides written notice to the Company
that any such 401(k) plan shall not be terminated. Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee
Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, its Subsidiaries or such ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be. The form and
substance of such resolutions shall be provided by Parent subject to the reasonable and timely approval of the Company. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plan(s) as Parent may
reasonably require.



(e) Specified
Employees. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company covenants and agrees that, as of the Effective Time, with respect to each of the individuals listed on Schedule 5.9(e) (together, the Specified Employees), the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute good reason (as that term is defined in Section 1.21 of each of the Specified Employees currently effective Change of Control Employment Agreement
listed on Section 2.16(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter), and each such Specified Employee shall be entitled, should he so desire, to terminate his respective employment with the Company for good reason at any time after the
Effective Time. If any Specified Employee shall terminate his employment with the Company pursuant to this Section 5.9(e), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide to such Specified Employee, at such times and in
such amounts as provided in such Specified Employees Change of Control Employment Agreement, all compensation and benefits to which such Specified Employee is entitled upon a termination of employment for good reason under his
respective Change of Control Employment Agreement as it may be amended from time to time as mutually agreed by the parties thereto; provided, however, that such Specified Employee provides Parent with a release and waiver of claims and
agreement to the foregoing in the form agreed to by Parent and the Company; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 5.9(e) is intended to confer any duplication of benefits on any Specified Employee.



5.10 Form S-8. Parent agrees to file a registration statement
on Form S-8 for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to assumed Company Options within 60 days after the Effective Time or as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration of such 60-day period that registration of shares on
Form S-8 first becomes available to Parent. Parent shall also use all reasonable efforts to take any action required to be taken by it under any applicable securities laws in connection with the conversion of Company Options (other than Cashed-Out
Options) into options to acquire shares of common stock, par value $0.00067 per share, of Parent (Parent Common Stock), and the Company shall furnish any information concerning the Company and the holders of Company Common Stock
and Company Options as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.



5.11 Indemnification.



(a) Indemnity. From and after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects all obligations of the Company to any individual who at or prior to the
Effective Time was a director or officer of the Company pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and any indemnification agreements with such persons in effect as of the date hereof and
listed in Section 5.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (including, to the extent indemnifiable thereunder, (i) for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and (ii) with respect to any director or officer of the Company who, at the request of the Company, served as a director or officer of any of the Companys Subsidiaries, for acts and omissions occurring in connection with
such officers or



A-41



---

directors role as an officer or director of such Subsidiary of the Company) (the Indemnified Parties), subject to applicable law.
The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (or any successor to the Surviving Corporation) will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, indemnification and the advancement of expenses that are at least as
favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not, except as required by law, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified
for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of Indemnified Parties unless the Surviving Corporation (or any successor to the Surviving Corporation) provides other assurance to the
Indemnified Parties sufficient to ensure the continued exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses of the Indemnified Parties as provided in such organizational documents prior to any such amendment, repeal or modification.



(b) Insurance. For a period of six years
after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain directors and officers liability insurance with one or more reputable unaffiliated third-party insurers with at least the same industry rating covering
those persons who are covered by the Companys directors and officers liability insurance policy as of the date hereof for events occurring prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate (other than
with respect to the broader coverage provided under the top layer of insurance, which shall be substantially the same as the Companys policy) no less favorable to the insured than those applicable to the current directors and officers of the
Company under policies maintained by the Company; provided, however, that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year in excess of 250% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage
(and to the extent annual premium would exceed 250% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage, the Surviving Corporation shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be maintained the maximum amount of coverage as is
available for such 250% of such annual premium); and provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.11(b) by purchasing a tail policy under the
Companys existing directors and officers insurance policy which (i) has an effective term of six years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers those persons who are currently covered by the Companys directors and
officers insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof for actions and omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) contains terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate (other than with respect to the broader
coverage provided under the top layer of insurance, which shall be substantially the same as the Companys policy), no less favorable to the insured than those of the Companys directors and officers insurance policy in effect
as of the date hereof.



(c)
ThirdParty Beneficiaries. This Section 5.11 is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on Parent and the
Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns. In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or its successor or assign (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successor and assign of Parent or the
Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, honor the obligations set forth with respect to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, in this Section 5.11.



5.12 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such reasonable steps as may
be required (to the extent permitted under applicable law) to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article I of
this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.



5.13 Insurance Approval. The Company shall deliver to Parent at
least 15 days prior to the Closing a letter in a form acceptable to Parent validly executed by an officer of the Company, which authorizes Parents



A-42



---

insurance broker, effective as of the Closing Date, to act as the Companys insurance broker of record with respect to all insurance policies held by
the Company.



5.14 FIRPTA Compliance. On the
Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a properly executed FIRPTA Certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent for purposes of satisfying Parents obligations under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3).



5.15 Immigration-Related Liabilities. Following the Effective
Time, Parent shall assume all immigration-related liabilities of the Company with respect to persons who are employees of the Company as of the Effective Time.

instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company.

Section5.11.



8.6 Severability. In
the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and
the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a
valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.



8.7 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon
a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto

based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or
plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process.



8.9 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this
Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.



8.10 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement
or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties, except that Parent may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to its affiliates as long as Parent remains ultimately
liable for all of Parents obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.10 shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.



8.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF
