which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto promise and agree as follows:

     4. Release of Escrow Funds. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no

Representative pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Merger Agreement seeking
indemnification from the Sellers under Section 10.1 of the Merger Agreement (a
“Claim Notice”), Parent will also deliver to the Seller Representative, with
a copy to the Escrow Agent, a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Certificate of Claim”).

the right of the applicable Indemnified Party to the Claimed Loss (as defined in the
Certificate of Claim) referred to in a Certificate of Claim, the Seller
Representative shall, within 30 days following the Seller Representative’s and
Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Certificate of Claim (the “Objection
Period”), deliver to Parent, with a copy to the Escrow Agent, a certificate

Certificate”) disputing the right of the applicable Indemnified Party to the
Claimed Loss referred to in such Certificate of Claim. If the Seller Representative

Business Day following the expiration of the Objection Period, the Escrow Agent
shall pay the Claimed Loss referred to in such Certificate of Claim to Parent
pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Certificate of Claim out of the Escrow
Funds then held in the Indemnity Escrow Sub-Account.

     (iii) In the event that an Objection Certificate is delivered to the Escrow
Agent in accordance with this Agreement, no Indemnity Escrow Funds out of the
Indemnity Escrow Sub-Account shall be released by the Escrow Agent except in
accordance with Section 4(a)(iv) or Section 4(c)(iii) of this Agreement.

     (iv) If the Escrow Agent shall have received an Objection Certificate from the
Seller Representative within  the Objection Period, the Escrow Agent shall release
to Parent, on the next Business Day following the expiration of the Objection
Period, Escrow Funds from the Indemnity Escrow Sub-Account in an amount equal to any
uncontested portion of the Claimed Loss and shall continue to hold the contested
portion of the Claimed Loss in the Indemnity Escrow Sub-Account until receipt of
either (A) joint written instructions from Parent and the Seller Representative to
the Escrow Agent (a “Joint Instruction”) or (B) a final order, writ,
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator(s), provided
the Escrow Agent receives a certified copy of such order, writ, judgment or decree,
accompanied with a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D
attached hereto (a “Final Determination Certificate”) with respect to the
amount of the Claimed Loss (if any) owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party. In the
event that the Joint Instruction or Final Determination Certificate provides that
the amount specified therein should be distributed among the former holders of
Merger Shares (including Restricted Merger Shares) and Company Options, the Seller
Representative shall, on behalf of the former holders of Merger Shares (including
Restricted Merger Shares) and Company Options, deliver instructions to the Escrow
Agent which shall set forth the allocated amounts, recipients and delivery
instructions (the “Disbursement Instruction”) with respect to the amount to
be distributed by the Escrow Agent among the former holders of Merger Shares
(including Restricted Merger Shares) and Company Options pursuant to a schedule
attached thereto. The Escrow Agent shall act on a Joint Instruction or a Final
Determination Certificate, accompanied by a Disbursement Instruction, if applicable,
without further inquiry or delay, on the next Business Day after receipt of such
Joint Instruction or Final Determination Certificate and Disbursement Instruction,
if applicable.

of the Merger Agreement, (x) if there is an Excess Payment, Parent and the Seller Representative
shall deliver a Joint Instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release all of
the Escrow Funds then held in the Adjustment Sub-Account and upon receipt of such Joint
Instruction, the Escrow Agent shall release all of the Escrow Funds then held in the Adjustment
Sub-Account and deliver such funds (and any proportion of Investment Income attributable thereto)
as specified in the Joint Instruction and (y) if there is a Shortfall Reduction, upon receipt of a
Joint Instruction, the Escrow Agent shall release Escrow Funds from the Adjustment Sub-Account and
deliver (i) to Parent (or its designee(s)), the amount equal to the Shortfall Reduction (including
an amount representing interest therein as provided in Section 2.1(e) of the Merger Agreement
attributable thereto), and if the amount on deposit in the Adjustment Sub-Account is insufficient
to pay the full amount of such Shortfall Reduction, the amount of such shortfall (and any
proportion of Investment Income attributable thereto) shall be released from the Indemnity Escrow
Sub-Account to the extent of the amount on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Sub-Account, and (ii) to
the former holders of Merger Shares (including Restricted Merger Shares) and Company Options,
pursuant to the Disbursement Instruction provided by the Seller Representative, the amount (if any)
remaining on deposit in the Adjustment Sub-Account (and any proportion of Investment Income
attributable thereto) after the release and delivery of the Shortfall Reduction to Parent (or its
designee(s)) in accordance with the Joint Instruction.

3

 

(c) (i) Within 5 Business Days after the First Escrow Release Date, (1) Parent and
the Seller Representative shall deliver a Joint Instruction to the Escrow Agent
directing the Escrow Agent to release from the funds then held in the Indemnity
Escrow Sub-Account an amount equal to (x) $6,175,000 minus (y)  the sum of all
amounts previously paid to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 4(a) of
this Agreement plus the aggregate amount of the Claimed Losses included in all
Certificates of Claim submitted before the First Escrow Release Date that have been
neither paid nor otherwise resolved and upon receipt of such Joint Instruction, (2)
the Seller Representative shall deliver the Disbursement Instruction to the Escrow
Agent and (3) the Escrow Agent shall release to the former holders of Merger Shares
(including Restricted Merger Shares) and Company Options, in accordance with the
Disbursement Instruction to be delivered by the Seller Representative to the Escrow
Agent.

     (ii) Within 5 Business Days after the Second Escrow Release Date, (1) Parent and
the Seller Representative shall deliver a Joint Instruction to the Escrow Agent
directing the Escrow Agent to release from the funds then held in the Indemnity
Escrow Sub-Account an amount equal to (x) the remaining balance of such funds minus
(y) the aggregate amount of the Claimed Losses included in all Certificates of Claim
submitted before the Second Escrow Release Date that have been neither paid nor
otherwise resolved and upon receipt of such Joint Instruction, (2) the Seller
Representative shall deliver the Disbursement Instruction to the Escrow Agent and
(3) the Escrow Agent shall release to the former holders of Merger Shares (including
Restricted Merger Shares) and Company Options, in accordance with the Disbursement
Instruction to be delivered by the Seller Representative to the Escrow Agent.

     (iii) If any funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Sub-Account after the release
provided for in the preceding clause (ii), within five Business Days after the date
on which any claim set forth in all Certificates of Claim submitted before the
Second Escrow Release Date has been paid or otherwise resolved, the Escrow Agent
shall release to the former holders of Merger Shares (including Restricted Merger
Shares) and Company Options, in accordance with the Disbursement Instruction to be
delivered by the Seller Representative to the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the
excess (if any) of (x) the balance of the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow
Sub-Account over (y) the aggregate amount of the Claimed Losses included in all
Certificates of Claim submitted before the Second Escrow Release Date that have been
neither paid nor otherwise resolved. Prior to each release provided for in this
clause (iii), Parent and the Seller Representative shall deliver a Joint Instruction
to the Escrow Agent confirming that the release is required pursuant to this
clause (iii) and the aggregate amount thereof.

          (d) For purposes of this Section 4, the Seller Representative agrees that the Escrow Agent
shall be entitled to rely on the Disbursement Instructions provided by the Seller Representative to
the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm the
accuracy, validity or sufficiency of any amounts to be distributed to any former holder of Merger
Shares (including Restricted Merger Shares) or Company Options prior to making such payments, nor
shall it have any obligation to determine, calculate or confirm the same. The Seller
Representative hereby represents and warrants that any Disbursement Instruction will have been duly
authorized in writing by all of the former holders of Merger Shares (including Restricted Merger
Shares) and Company Options represented thereby that have been adversely affected with respect to
any payment that they would be otherwise entitled to.

4

 

          (e) At any time a Joint Instruction is delivered to the Escrow Agent specifically directing
delivery of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds to Parent (or its designee), such Joint
Instruction shall set forth the amounts, recipients and delivery instructions with respect to the
Escrow Funds to be distributed upon receipt of which the Escrow Agent shall release from the
relevant sub-account of the Escrow Account and deliver to Parent (or its designee), as the case may
be, the Escrow Funds in accordance with such Joint Instruction. At any time a Joint Instruction is
delivered to the Escrow Agent specifically directing delivery of all or any portion of the Escrow
Funds to the former holders of Merger Shares (including Restricted Merger Shares) and Company
Options (including by way of distribution through the Exchange Agent) or the Seller Representative
(or their respective designees), such Joint Instruction shall be accompanied by a Disbursement
Instruction to be delivered by the Seller Representative, which shall set forth the amounts,
recipients and delivery instructions with respect to the Escrow Funds to be distributed upon
receipt of which the Escrow Agent shall release from the relevant sub-account of the Escrow Account
and deliver to the former holders of Merger Shares (including Restricted Merger Shares) and Company
Options or Seller Representative (or their respective designees), as the case may be, the Escrow
Funds in accordance with such Disbursement Instruction.

          (f) On the Business Day immediately following the date on which there are no longer any Escrow
Funds in the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall release from, and deliver the then remaining
Investment Income in the Escrow Account, to the former holders of Merger Shares (including
Restricted Merger Shares) and Company Options (or their designee(s)) in accordance with a written
instruction from the Seller Representative.

     5. Compliance With Court Orders. If any property subject to this Agreement shall be
at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by
any court order, or in case any order, writ, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any
court affecting such property or any part thereof, then in any of such events the Escrow Agent is
authorized to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree in any manner it
deems appropriate; and if the Escrow Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree
that the Escrow Agent is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing (including internal counsel)
is binding, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other
person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or
decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. The Escrow Agent
shall promptly forward to Parent and the Seller Representative by one of the methods described in
Section 11 of this Agreement copies of all legal documents served on or otherwise received by the
Escrow Agent relating to any of the proceedings described in this Section 5.

     6. Proof of Conditions for Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Escrow Agent may refuse to release any part of the Escrow Funds or Investment
Income under Section 4 of this Agreement unless it has been fully satisfied that each written
notice referred to in Section 4 of this Agreement contains the genuine signature of a Principal or
the Principals. Nothing herein shall require the Escrow Agent to establish the genuineness of any
signature but, instead, the Escrow Agent may rely upon any signature appearing to be that of a
Principal as being genuine and/or duly authorized, in the absence of actual knowledge to the
contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall act
upon receipt of the documents in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits B, C and
D and shall have no responsibility for verifying any of the contents thereof.

5

 

     7. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect until one of the following conditions
occurs:

          (a) the Principals shall have jointly given 10 days advance written notice of the cancellation
of the designation of the Escrow Agent to act and serve in such capacity, which notice shall
contain specific directions to the Escrow Agent for delivery of the Escrow Funds, and the Escrow
Funds shall have been delivered in accordance with such notice and the Investment Income shall have
been delivered in accordance with Section 4;

          (b) no Escrow Funds or Investment Income remain in the Escrow Account (provided that the
payments (if any) required pursuant to Section 4(f) have been made); or

          (c) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final order or judgment ordering the
termination of this Agreement, and all appeals of such order or judgment shall have been exhausted
or all periods in which to take an appeal shall have expired without an appeal being taken.

     8. Succession. (a)  The Escrow Agent (and any successor escrow agent) may at any time
resign upon 30 calendar days advance written notice to the Principals. Upon receipt of a notice of
resignation, the Principals shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor escrow
agent within the 30 calendar day period following such notice (the “Escrow Agent Appointment
Period”). If the Escrow Agent has not received a notice signed by the Principals appointing a
successor escrow agent and setting forth such successor escrow agent’s name and address prior to
the expiration of the Escrow Agent Appointment Period, the Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow
Funds and Investment Income into the registry of an appropriate court and request judicial
determination of the rights between the Principals, by interpleader or other appropriate action,
and, upon such deposit and request, the resigning Escrow Agent shall have no further rights or
obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Principals hereby jointly and severally agree to
indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any damages or losses in connection
with such deposit and request, including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees and court costs at all
trial and appellate levels; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to be so
indemnified to the extent such damages or losses were proximately caused by its own fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, nonappealable order, judgment,
decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction).

          (b) If the Principals appoint a successor escrow agent as contemplated by Section 8(a) prior
to the expiration of the Escrow Agent Appointment Period, the resigning Escrow Agent shall deliver,
promptly upon receipt of notice of such appointment, the Escrow Funds and Investment Income to the
newly appointed escrow agent designated by the Principals (or shall otherwise dispose of the Escrow
Funds and Investment Income as instructed by the Principals in writing), and the resigning Escrow
Agent shall not otherwise have the right to withhold the Escrow Funds and Investment Income from
the newly appointed escrow agent. A successor escrow agent appointed by the Principals as
contemplated hereby shall have executed and delivered an instrument accepting such appointment and

negotiation, amendment, modification, waiver, execution, delivery, performance or enforcement
of this Agreement. The cost of the Escrow Agent’s compensation and reimbursement provided for
herein shall be the joint and several obligation of each of Parent and the Seller Representative.
As between Parent and the Seller Representative, Parent and the Seller Representative agree that
such costs shall be divided equally between Parent on the one hand and the Seller Representative on
the other hand. The Escrow Agent shall first withdraw from the Escrow Fund any amount payable by
the Seller Representative hereunder. The obligations contained in this Section 9 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent.

     10. Concerning the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to
the contrary, the Escrow Agent including its officers, directors, employees and agents, shall:

          (a) be, and hereby is, jointly and severally indemnified and saved harmless by the Principals
from all claims, liabilities, judgments, fines, settlements, expenses, demands, costs, penalties,
losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or equity, or any other expenses, fees or charges of
any character or nature, including attorney fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), which may
be incurred by it, directly or indirectly, as a result of its acceptance of the Escrow Account or
arising from or in any way connected to the performance of its duties hereunder, unless such Losses
shall have been finally adjudicated to have been caused by the bad faith, gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud of the Escrow Agent (each as determined by a final, nonappealable order,
judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction), and such indemnification shall
survive its resignation or removal, or the termination of this Agreement;

          (b) in the event that (i) any dispute shall arise between the parties with respect to the
disposition or disbursement of any of the assets held hereunder or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall be
uncertain as to how to proceed in a situation not explicitly addressed by the terms of this
Agreement whether because of conflicting demands by the other parties hereto or otherwise, (A)
after seeking the advice of legal counsel, be entitled to refrain from taking any action in that
instance and its sole obligation, in addition to those of its duties hereunder as to which there is
no such uncertainty and which are not impacted by such uncertainty, shall be to keep safely all
property, if any, held in the Escrow Account until it shall be directed by a Joint Instruction or
by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) be permitted to
interplead all of the assets held hereunder into a court of competent jurisdiction, and thereafter
be fully relieved from any and all liability or obligation with respect to such interpleaded
assets. The parties hereto other than the Escrow Agent further agree to pursue any redress or
recourse in connection with such a dispute, without making the Escrow Agent a party to same;

          (c) have only those duties, responsibilities or obligations as are specifically provided
herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and shall under no circumstance be
deemed a fiduciary for any of the parties to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall neither be
responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement,
instrument or document between the other parties hereto, in connection herewith, including without
limitation the Merger Agreement. This Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the escrow
contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be inferred from
the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement (i) the Escrow Agent shall be liable for its willful misconduct or gross negligence (each
as determined by a final nonappealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent
jurisdiction) and (ii) in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, punitive,
indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss
or damage. Any liability of the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement shall be limited to the
amount of fees paid to the Escrow Agent under this Agreement;

7

 

          (d) be fully protected in acting upon and shall incur no liability with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it, in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent,
statement or other document (including, but not limited to a settlement agreement) believed by it
to be genuine and duly authorized, and shall have no duty to inquire into or investigate the
validity, accuracy or content of any thereof;

          (e) have the right, but not the obligation, to consult with counsel of choice and shall not be
liable and shall be fully protected in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by Escrow
Agent either in accordance with the advice of such counsel or in accordance with any opinion of
counsel to Seller Representative addressed and delivered to the Escrow Agent;

          (f) have the right to perform any of its duties hereunder through its agents, attorneys,
custodians or nominees;

          (g) not be responsible or liable in any manner for the sufficiency, collection, correctness,
genuineness or validity of any revenues, cash, payments, securities, property, funds, investments,
income, earnings or other amounts deposited with or held by it or for the identity, authority or
rights of any person or entity executing and delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any
thereof to the Escrow Agent;

          (h) have the right to engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the
Company or any party hereto or affiliate thereof, and may act as depositary, trustee or agent for,
any committee or body of holders of obligations of such party or affiliate, as freely as if it were
not the Escrow Agent hereunder;

          (i) not be obligated to expend or risk its own funds or to take any action which it believes
would expose it to expense or liability or to a risk of incurring expense or liability, unless it
has been furnished with assurances of repayment or indemnity satisfactory to it;

          (j) not take instructions or directions except those given in accordance with this Escrow
Agreement;

          (k) not incur any liability for not performing any act, duty, obligation or responsibility by
reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Escrow Agent (including without limitation any
act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of
God, war, civil disorder or failure of any means of communication); and

          (l) not be called upon to advise any person or entity as to any investments with respect to
any security, property or funds in escrow hereunder or the dividends, distributions, income,
interest or earnings thereon.
