For any shares of InterMute Stock (“Stock”) surrendered herewith, the undersigned requests that Trend Micro exchange each share of Stock for a cash payment of approximately $2.32 per share, of which approximately $0.22 per share (each rounded to the nearest cent) shall be held in an escrow for the purpose of providing a fund that can be drawn upon to indemnify Trend Micro for breaches of representations and warranties made by the Corporation in connection with the Merger; and potentially a second payment on or before 18 months following the Closing of the merger if certain milestones described in the Merger Agreement are achieved.

If, however, the check for the cash payment is to be issued in a name different from that of the registered holder(s), then (i) the InterMute certificate(s) must be duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on such certificate(s), (ii) the signature of endorsement for transfer on such certificate or separate stock powers must be guaranteed by a financial institution thatis a member of a Securities Transfer Association approved medallion program such as STAMP, SEMP or MSP, and (iii) the person surrendering such certificate(s) must remit to Trend Micro the amount of any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of the issuance to a person other than the registered holder(s) of the certificate(s) surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of Trend Micro that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. In such case, the “Special Issuance Instructions” box must be completed and the signature(s) on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed as specified above.

7.      **Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions.**Indicate in Special Issuance Instructions the name and address of the person in whose name the check is to be issued if it is to be issued in the name of someone other than the registered holder. Follow Instruction 3 above.

8.      **Substitute Form W-9.**Each stockholder surrendering certificates is required to provide Trend Micro with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on Substitute Form W-9, which is described under “Important Tax Information,” and to indicate whether the stockholder is subject to backup withholding by checking the appropriate box in part 2 of the form. Each stockholder must date and sign the Substitute Form W-9 in the spaces indicated. Failure to provide the information on the form may subject the stockholder to a 28% federal income tax withholding on the cash payment he, she or it is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The box in Part 3 of the form may be checked if the stockholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number or intends to applyfor in the near future.  If the box in

Part 3 is checked and Trend Micro is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, Trend Micro will withhold 28% of the cash payment that the stockholder is otherwise entitled to receive until a TIN is provided to Trend Micro.

**IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION**

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a stockholder whose shares of InterMute stock are surrendered herewith is required to provide Trend Micro with such stockholder’s current TIN on Substitute Form W-9. If such stockholder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If Trend Micro is not provided with the correct TIN, the stockholder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, any cash payment made to such stockholder for other distributions to which the stockholder is entitled with respect to Shares surrendered in connection with the Merger may be subject to backup withholding.

Certain stockholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for a foreign individual to qualify as an exempt recipient, that stockholder must submit a Form W-8BEN statement, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual’s exempt status. Such Form W-8BEN statements can be obtained from Trend Micro.

If backup withholding applies, Trend Micro is required to withhold 28% of the cash payment made to the stockholder with respect to shares of InterMute stock surrendered in connection with the Merger Agreement. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund from the Internal Revenue Service may be obtained. Please consult your accountant or tax advisor for further guidance in completing Substitute Form W-9.

**Purpose of Substitute Form W-9**

To prevent backup withholding on any cash payment made to a stockholder with respect to shares of InterMute stock surrendered in connection with the Merger Agreement, the stockholder is required to notify Trend Micro of his or her correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 and certifying that the TIN provided on Substitute Form W-9 is correct (or that such stockholder is awaiting a TIN). In addition, the stockholder must complete Part 2 of the Substitute Form W-9, check the appropriate box, and date and sign as indicated.

**What Number to Give Trend Micro**

The stockholder is required to give Trend Micro the social security number or employer identification number of the record owner of the shares of InterMute stock being surrendered for payment in connection with the Merger Agreement. If the shares are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, please consult your accountant or tax advisor for additional guidance on which number to report.
