 (c) Enrollment. Any individual who, on the day preceding the first day of an Offering Period
(other than the initial Offering Period), qualifies as an Eligible Employee may elect to become a Participant in the Plan for such Offering Period by executing the enrollment form prescribed for this purpose by the Committee. The enrollment form
shall be filed with the Company at the prescribed location not later than 15 days prior to the commencement of such Offering Period. All Eligible Employees shall be automatically enrolled in the initial Offering Period under the Plan. 
  
 (d) Duration of Participation. Once enrolled in the Plan, a
Participant shall continue to participate in the Plan until he or she ceases to be an Eligible Employee, withdraws from the Plan under Section 6(a) or reaches the end of the Offering Period in which his or her employee contributions were
discontinued under Section 5(d) or Section 9(b). A Participant who discontinued employee contributions under Section 5(d) or withdrew from the Plan under Section 6(a) may again become a Participant, if he or she then is an Eligible Employee, by
following the procedure described in Subsection (c) above. A Participant whose employee contributions were discontinued automatically under Section 9(b) shall automatically resume participation at the beginning of the earliest Offering Period ending
in the next calendar year, if he or she then is an Eligible Employee. 
  
 (e) Applicable Offering Period. For purposes of calculating the purchase price under Section 8(b), the applicable Offering Period shall be determined as follows:

first trading day of the Offering Period in which the Participant is enrolled is higher than on the first trading day of any subsequent Offering Period, the Participant shall automatically be re-enrolled for such subsequent Offering Period.

  
 (iii) When a Participant reaches the end of an
Offering Period but his or her participation is to continue, then such Participant shall automatically be re-enrolled for the Offering Period that commences immediately after the end of the prior Offering Period.

 Participant pursuant to Subsection (b) below, shall occur on each payday during participation in the Plan. 
  
 (b) Amount of Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee shall designate
on the enrollment form the portion of his or her Compensation that he or she elects to have withheld for the purchase of Stock. Such portion shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than
15%. During the initial Accumulation Period, no payroll deduction will be made unless a Participant timely files the proper form with the Company after a registration statement covering the Stock is filed and effective under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. 
  
 (c) Changing Withholding Rate. If a
Participant wishes to change the rate of payroll withholding, he or she may do so by filing a new enrollment form with the Company at the prescribed location at any time. The new withholding rate shall be effective as soon as reasonably practicable
after such form has been received by the Company. The new withholding rate shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than 15%. 
  
 (d) Discontinuing Payroll Deductions. If a Participant wishes to
discontinue employee contributions entirely, he or she may do so by filing a new enrollment form with the Company at the prescribed location at any time. Payroll withholding shall cease as soon as reasonably practicable after such form has been
received by the Company. In addition, employee contributions may be discontinued automatically pursuant to Section 9(b). A Participant who has discontinued employee contributions may resume such contributions by filing a new enrollment form with the
Company at the prescribed location. Payroll withholding shall resume as soon as reasonably practicable after such form has been received by the Company. 
  
 (e) Limit on Number of Elections. The Committee may limit the number of elections that a Participant may make under Subsection (c) or (d) above
during any Accumulation Period. 
  
 SECTION
6    Withdrawal From The Plan. 
  
 (a) Withdrawal. A Participant may elect to withdraw from the Plan by filing the prescribed form with the Company at the prescribed location at any time before the last day of an Accumulation Period. In addition, in the initial
Accumulation Period, Participants may be deemed to withdraw from the Plan by declining or failing to remit timely payment to the Company for the shares of Stock. As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, payroll deductions shall cease and the
entire amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account shall be refunded to him or her in cash, without interest. No partial withdrawals shall be permitted. 
  
 (b) Re-enrollment After Withdrawal. A former Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan shall not be a Participant
until he or she re-enrolls in the Plan under Section 4(c). Re-enrollment may be effective only at the commencement of an Offering Period.

 SECTION 7    Change In Employment Status. 
  
 (a) Termination of Employment. Termination of employment as an
Eligible Employee for any reason, including death, shall be treated as an automatic withdrawal from the Plan under Section 6(a). A transfer from one Participating Company to another shall not be treated as a termination of employment. 
  
 (b) Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, employment shall not
be deemed to terminate when the Participant goes on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing. Employment, however, shall be deemed to terminate 90 days after the
Participant goes on a leave, unless a contract or statute guarantees his or her right to return to work. Employment shall be deemed to terminate in any event when the approved leave ends, unless the Participant immediately returns to work.

  
 (c) Death. In the event of the Participant’s
death, the amount credited to his or her Plan Account shall be paid to a beneficiary designated by him or her for this purpose on the prescribed form or, if none, to the Participant’s estate. Such form shall be valid only if it was filed with
the Company at the prescribed location before the Participant’s death. 
  
 SECTION 8    Plan Accounts And Purchase Of Shares. 
  
 (a) Plan Accounts. The Company shall maintain a Plan Account on its books in the name of each Participant. Whenever an amount is deducted from the Participant’s Compensation under the Plan, such amount
shall be credited to the Participant’s Plan Account. Amounts credited to Plan Accounts shall not be trust funds and may be commingled with the Company’s general assets and applied to general corporate purposes. No interest shall be
credited to Plan Accounts. 
  
 (b) Purchase Price. The
Purchase Price for each share of Stock purchased at the close of an Accumulation Period shall be the lower of: 
  
 (i) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last trading day in such Accumulation Period; or 
  
 (ii) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the first
trading day of the applicable Offering Period (as determined under Section 4(e)) or, in the case of the first Offering Period under the Plan, 85% of the price at which one share of Stock is offered to the public in the IPO. 
  
 (c) Number of Shares Purchased. As of the last day of each
Accumulation Period, each Participant shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the number of shares of Stock calculated in accordance with this Subsection (c), unless the Participant has previously elected to withdraw from the Plan in accordance
with Section 6(a). The amount then in the Participant’s Plan Account shall be divided by the Purchase Price, and the number of shares that results shall be purchased from the Company with the funds in the Participant’s Plan Account. The
foregoing 
  
 ATHEROS COMMUNICATIONS,
INC. 
 2004 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
  
  

 -6- 

 notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase more than 1,875 shares of Stock with respect to any Accumulation Period
nor more than the amounts of Stock set forth in Section 9(b) and Section 14(a). Any fractional share, as calculated under this Subsection (c), shall be rounded down to the next lower whole share. For each Accumulation Period, the Committee shall
have the authority to establish additional limits on the number of shares purchasable by each Participant or by all Participants in the aggregate. 
  
 (d) Available Shares Insufficient. In the event that the aggregate number of shares that all Participants elect to purchase during an Accumulation
Period exceeds the maximum number of shares remaining available for issuance under Section 14(a), then the number of shares to which each Participant is entitled shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares available for issuance by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares that such Participant has elected to purchase and the denominator of which is the number of shares that all Participants have elected to purchase. 
  
 (e) Issuance of Stock. Certificates representing the shares of Stock
purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be issued to him or her as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the applicable Accumulation Period, except that the Committee may determine that such shares shall be held for each
Participant’s benefit by a broker designated by the Committee (unless the Participant has elected that certificates be issued to him or her). Shares may be registered in the name of the Participant or jointly in the name of the Participant and
his or her spouse as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as community property. 
  
 (f) Unused Cash Balances. An amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account that represents the Purchase Price for any fractional share shall be carried over in the Participant’s Plan Account to
the next Accumulation Period. Any amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account that represents the Purchase Price for whole shares that could not be purchased by reason of Subsection (c) above, Section 9(b) or Section 14(a) shall be
refunded to the Participant in cash, without interest. 
  
 (g)
Stockholder Approval. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no shares of Stock shall be purchased under the Plan unless and until the Company’s stockholders have approved the adoption of the Plan. 
  
 SECTION 9    Limitations On Stock Ownership. 
  
 (a) Five Percent Limit. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, no Participant shall be granted a right to purchase Stock under the Plan if such Participant, immediately after his or her election to purchase such Stock, would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or
value of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of this Subsection (a), the following rules shall apply: 
  

(i) Ownership of stock shall be determined after applying the attribution rules of section 424(d) of the Code;

 -7- 

 (ii) Each Participant shall be deemed to own any stock that he or she has a right or
option to purchase under this or any other plan; and 
  
 (iii) Each Participant shall be deemed to have the right to purchase up to the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be purchased by a Participant under this Plan under the individual limit specified in Section 8(c) with respect to
each Accumulation Period. 
  
 (b) Dollar Limit. Any other
provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase Stock with a Fair Market Value in excess of the following limit: 
  
 (i) In the case of Stock purchased during an Offering Period that commenced in the current calendar year, the limit shall be equal to (A)
$25,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock that the Participant previously purchased in the current calendar year (under this Plan and all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company).

  
 (ii) In the case of Stock purchased during an
Offering Period that commenced in the immediately preceding calendar year, the limit shall be equal to (A) $50,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock that the Participant previously purchased (under this Plan and all other employee stock
purchase plans of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company) in the current calendar year and in the immediately preceding calendar year. 
  
 (iii) In the case of Stock purchased during an Offering Period that commenced in the second preceding calendar year, the limit shall be
equal to (A) $75,000 minus (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock that the Participant previously purchased (under this Plan and all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company) in the current
calendar year and in the two preceding calendar years. 
  
 For
purposes of this Subsection (b), the Fair Market Value of Stock shall be determined in each case as of the beginning of the Offering Period in which such Stock is purchased. Employee stock purchase plans not described in section 423 of the Code
shall be disregarded. If a Participant is precluded by this Subsection (b) from purchasing additional Stock under the Plan, then his or her employee contributions shall automatically be discontinued and shall resume at the beginning of the earliest
Accumulation Period ending in the next calendar year (if he or she then is an Eligible Employee). 
  
 SECTION 10    Rights Not Transferable. 
  
 The rights of any Participant under the Plan, or any Participant’s interest in any Stock or moneys to which he or she may be entitled under the Plan,
shall not be transferable by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, or in any other manner other than by beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution. If a Participant in any manner

 2004 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
  
  

 -8- 

 attempts to transfer, assign or otherwise encumber his or her rights or interest under the Plan, other than by
beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution, then such act shall be treated as an election by the Participant to withdraw from the Plan under Section 6(a). 
  
 SECTION 11    No Rights As An Employee. 
  
 Nothing in the Plan or in any right granted under the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the
employ of a Participating Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Participating Companies or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to
terminate his or her employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. 
  
 SECTION 12    No Rights As A Stockholder. 
  
 A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Stock that he or she may have a right to purchase under the Plan until such shares have been purchased on the last day of the
applicable Offering Period. 
  
 SECTION
13    Securities Law Requirements. 
  
 Shares of Stock shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. 
  
 SECTION 14    Stock Offered Under The Plan. 
  
 (a) Authorized Shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock
available for purchase under the Plan is 750,000 shares, plus an annual increase to be added on the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the Plan, beginning January 1, 2005, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 750,000 shares, (ii)
1.25% of the outstanding shares of stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) an amount determined by the Board. The aggregate number of shares available for purchase under the Plan shall at all times be subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 14. 
  
 (b) Antidilution
Adjustments. The aggregate number of shares of Stock offered under the Plan, the individual Participant share limitation described in Section 8(c) and the price of shares that any Participant has elected to purchase shall be adjusted
proportionately by the Committee for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, any other increase or decrease in such shares
effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the distribution of the shares of a Subsidiary to the Company’s stockholders or a similar event.

 (c) Reorganizations. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, immediately prior to the
effective time of a Corporate Reorganization, the Offering Period then in progress shall terminate and shares shall be purchased pursuant to Section 8, unless the Plan is assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent corporation pursuant to the
plan of merger or consolidation. The Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any way the Company’s right to undertake a dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or other reorganization. 
  
 SECTION 15    Amendment Or Discontinuance. 
  
 The Board shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any
time and without notice. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate on January 13, 2014. Except as provided in Section 14, any increase in the aggregate number of shares of Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be subject to
approval by a vote of the stockholders of the Company. In addition, any other amendment of the Plan shall be subject to approval by a vote of the stockholders of the Company to the extent required by an applicable law or regulation. 
  
 SECTION 16    Execution.

 AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER is made and entered into as of February 5, 2004, among BarPoint.com, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Parent”), BarPoint Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”) and FUNDever, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

  
 WHEREAS the respective Boards of Directors of Parent,
Acquisition Sub and the Company have approved the acquisition of the Company by Parent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company have each approved, and the Board of
Directors of Parent in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Acquisition Sub has approved, the merger of Acquisition Sub into the Company in a reverse triangular merger pursuant to Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”) (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the
“Company Common Stock”) and each outstanding share of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”, along with the Company Common Stock, collectively the
“Company Stock”), other than Dissenting Company Shares (as hereinafter defined) and those shares of Company Stock owned directly or indirectly by Parent or the Company, will be converted into the right to receive 11.560243 shares of
common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Parent (“Parent Common Stock”); and 
  
 WHEREAS Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger
and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger. 
  
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
  
 The Merger 
  
 SECTION 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the “Corporation Law”), Acquisition Sub shall be merged into the Company at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.03). Following the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Sub shall
cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of Acquisition Sub in accordance with the Corporation Law. 
  
 SECTION 1.02 Closing. The closing of the Merger will take place at
10:00 a.m. (local time) on a date to be specified by Parent, which shall be no later than the fifth business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of
Greenberg, Traurig, P.A., counsel to Parent, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. 
  
 SECTION 1.03 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, the parties shall
file a Certificate of Merger or other appropriate documents (in any such case, the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant 

 provisions of the Corporation Law and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the Corporation Law. The
Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, or at such other time as the Parent and the Company shall agree should be specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time
the Merger becomes effective being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”). 
  
 SECTION 1.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the Corporation Law. 
  
 SECTION 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. 
  
 (a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Acquisition Sub
as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law, except that the name of the Surviving
Corporation shall be the name of the Company. 
  
 (b) The bylaws of the Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law. 
  
 SECTION 1.06 Directors. The directors of the Company immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 1.07 Officers. The officers of the Company immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
  
 Effect of the Merger on the Capital Stock of 
 the Constituent Corporations; Exchange of Certificates 
  
 SECTION 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Company Stock or any shares of capital stock of
Acquisition Sub: 
  
 (a) Capital Stock of
Acquisition Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Acquisition Sub shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 of the Surviving Corporation. 
  
 (b) Cancellation of Company Owned Stock. Each share
of Company Stock that is held in the treasury of the Company shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. 
  
 (c) Conversion of Company Stock. Subject to Section
2.01(d), each share of Company Stock (other than shares of Company Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation 11.560243 shares of Parent Common Stock (the
“Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and 
  

 2 

 each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Company Stock shall cease to have any rights
with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration. 
  
 (d) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by any stockholder of the
Company who did not vote in favor of the Merger and complies with Section 262 of the Corporation Law (the “Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration,
but, instead, shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due such holder pursuant to the Corporation Law upon surrender of such holder’s certificate representing such shares of Company Stock. From
and after the Effective Time, a holder of any Dissenting Company Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation. If any such holder shall have failed to perfect or
shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his rights to appraisal under the Corporation Law, that holder’s shares of Company Stock shall thereupon be converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the
Merger Consideration without any interest. 
  
 SECTION 2.02
Exchange of Certificates. 
  
 (a)
Exchange Shares. From time to time on, prior to or after the Effective Time, Parent shall make available, or cause the Surviving Corporation to make available, shares of Parent Common Stock in an amount and at the times necessary for the
payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of certificates representing shares of Company Stock as part of the Merger pursuant to Section 2.01 (other than Company Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and Company
Stock held by stockholders who have demanded their right to appraisal pursuant to Section 2.01(d) and Section 262 of the Corporation Law and who have not withdrawn or lost such right to dissent). The shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with
respect to shares of Company Stock in the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time. 
  
 (b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or cause the Surviving
Corporation or its agent to, mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Stock (other than Company Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b)
and Company Stock held by stockholders who have demanded their right to appraisal pursuant to Section 2.01(d) and Section 262 of the Corporation Law and who have not withdrawn or lost such right to dissent) (the “Certificates”), (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 Surviving Corporation, or its agent, and shall be in a 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 the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Surviving
Corporation or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Parent, the holder of such Certificate shall be
entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01, and the Certificate so
surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the
Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed, with a medallion signature guarantee, and otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes
required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by
this Section 2.02, each Certificate shall be 
  

 3 

 deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender
the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable upon the
surrender of any Certificate. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares represented by such
Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their agents.

  
 (c) Distributions with Respect to
Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until
the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be issued and paid to the record holder of the Certificate, at the time of
such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, without interest, and, at the appropriate payment date, the amount
of dividends or other distributions having a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender that are payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock. 
  
 (d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. All
shares of Parent Common Stock exchanged upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Stock
theretofore represented by such Certificates. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the
shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Parent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as
provided in this Article II. 
  
 (e) No
Fractional Securities. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and such fractional interest shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a
stockholder. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Company Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock upon surrender of stock certificates for exchange pursuant to this Article II
shall be paid cash upon such surrender in an amount equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the closing prices as reported by the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the five (5) trading days ending two business days prior
to the Effective Time. 
  
 (f) No
Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any Merger Consideration or cash properly and legally delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat
or similar law. 
  
 (g) Withholding
Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent (and their agents, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Stock such
amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as
the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made by the Surviving Corporation or
Parent, as the case may be.

 ARTICLE III 
  
 Representations and Warranties of the Company 
  
 The Company represents and warrants to Parent and Acquisition Sub as follows: 
  
 SECTION 3.01 Organization. Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiary (as defined in Section 3.02) is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so
organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power and authority could not be reasonably expected to (i) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger, or (ii) have a material adverse effect (as defined in Section 9.03) on
the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole. Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or
the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiary has made available to Parent complete and correct copies of
its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. 
  
 SECTION
3.02 Subsidiaries. The only subsidiary of the Company is SchoolPop, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company Subsidiary”). All the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company Subsidiary are owned by Parent, free and clear
of all liens or encumbrances, except the security interests of First National Bank of Danville-Westville and Shelby County Bank (and Robert Scellato in lieu of First National Bank of Danville prior to Closing), and are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except for the capital stock of the Company Subsidiary, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other ownership interest in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other
entity. 
  
 SECTION 3.03 Capitalization. As of the date of
this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 15,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per
share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), with the rights and preferences included in the form of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation included in Section 3.03 of the disclosure schedule annexed hereto (the
“Disclosure Schedule”). At the close of business on February 4, 2004, (i) 4,008,298 shares of Company Common Stock were issued and outstanding, (ii) 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding and (iii) no
shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. Upon conversion of the $1,055,000 principal amount Convertible Promissory Note of the Company (the “Convertible Note”) as provided in Section 6.09, 5,903,857 shares of Company
Common Stock will be issued and outstanding. Except as set forth above and as issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note, as of the date of this Agreement, no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of the Company were issued,
reserved for issuance or outstanding. All outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and the Company Subsidiary are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights. As of the date of this
Agreement, except for the Convertible Note there are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which
stockholders of the Company may vote. Except as set forth above, and as contemplated pursuant to the conversion of the Convertible Note, there are not any securities, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements or
undertakings of any kind to which either the Company or the Company Subsidiary is a party or by which either is bound obligating the Company or the Company 
  

 5 

 Subsidiary to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or
other voting securities of the Company or the Company Subsidiary or obligating the Company or the Company Subsidiary to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement, arrangement or
undertaking. Except as set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, there are not any outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or the Company Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any
shares of capital stock of the Company or the Company Subsidiary. 
  
 SECTION 3.04 Authority. 
  
 (a)
Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiary has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the consummation by the Company of the Merger and of the other transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company
are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions so contemplated, subject to the filing of the Certificate of Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming this Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent and Acquisition Sub, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

 SECTION 3.09 Benefit Plans. 
  
 (a) Except as set forth in Section 3.09 of the Disclosure Schedule, each “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) (a
“Pension Plan”), “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) (a “Welfare Plan”) and each other plan, arrangement or policy (written or oral) relating to stock options, stock
purchases, compensation, deferred compensation, bonuses, severance, fringe benefits or other employee benefits, in each case maintained or contributed to, or required to be maintained or contributed to, by the Company or the Company Subsidiary for
the benefit of any present or former employee, officer or director (each of the foregoing, a “Company Benefit Plan”) has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms. The Company, the Company Subsidiary

medical or other retiree welfare benefits to any person. To the knowledge of the Company and the Company Subsidiary, no fiduciary of a Company Benefit Plan has breached any of the responsibilities or obligations imposed upon fiduciaries under Title

Service or to the United States Department of Labor have been timely submitted. All contributions required to be made with respect to any Benefit Plan pursuant to the terms of the Company Benefit Plan or any collective bargaining agreement, have
been made on or before their due dates. 
  
 (b)
None of the Pension Plans is subject to Title IV of ERISA and none of the Company or any other person or entity that, together with the Company, is or was treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code or pursuant to Title IV of ERISA
(each, including the Company, a “Commonly Controlled Entity”) has any liability under Title IV of ERISA (whether actual or contingent) with respect to a Pension Plan, or to any other employee pension benefit plan that is or was
maintained, contributed to or required to be contributed to by a Commonly Controlled Entity (other than for contributions not yet due) or to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than for payment of premiums not yet due), which liability
has not been fully paid. 
  
 (c) No Commonly
Controlled Entity is required to contribute to any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) or has withdrawn from any multiemployer plan where such withdrawal has resulted or would result in any “withdrawal
liability” (within the meaning of Section 
  

 8 

 4201 of ERISA) that has not been fully paid or as to which a commonly controlled entity would have
liability pursuant to Section 4212(c) of ERISA. 
  
 (d) Each Company Benefit Plan that is a Welfare Plan may be amended or terminated at any time after the Effective Time without material liability to the Company or the Company Subsidiary. 
  
 (e) No Company Benefit Plan that is a Pension Plan has been

the Company, threatened. 
  
 (f) There have been
no prohibited transactions with respect to any such Company Benefit Plan. To the knowledge of the Company, no fiduciary has any liability for breach of fiduciary duty or any other failure to act or comply in connection with the administration or
investment of the assets of any such Company Benefit Plan. No action, suit, proceeding, hearing, or investigation with respect to the administration or the investment of the assets of any such Company Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for
benefits) is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened. The Company and the Company Subsidiary do not have any knowledge of any basis for any such action, suit, proceeding, hearing, or investigation.

plan, stock appreciation right plan, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan. 
  
 SECTION 3.11 Litigation. Except as disclosed in Section 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation pending before any Governmental Entity or, to the
best knowledge of the Company and the Company Subsidiary, threatened against the Company or the Company Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or
prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. Except as disclosed in Section 3.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor the Company Subsidiary is subject to any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger.

and approvals that could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole. The Company and the Company Subsidiary are in compliance with the terms of the Company Permits, except
where the failure so to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, to the best knowledge of the Company, the
business of the Company and the Company Subsidiary is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except for possible violations that could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the 
  

 9 

 consummation of the Merger. As of the date of this Agreement, no investigation, inquiry or review by any Governmental
Entity with respect to the Company or the Company Subsidiary is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct any such investigation, inquiry or review, other than, in
each case, those the outcome of which could not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. 
  
 SECTION 3.13 Tax Matters.

the Merger. All such returns are complete and correct in all material respects. Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiary has paid all Taxes required to be paid by it (without regard to whether a Tax Return is required or to the amount shown on
any Tax Return), except Taxes for which an adequate reserve has been established on their respective financial statements as of and for the nine months ended on the Company Balance Sheet Date (the “Company Most Recent Financial

Subsidiary. Each material deficiency resulting from any audit or examination relating to Taxes by any taxing authority has been paid, except for deficiencies being contested in good faith. No material issues relating to Taxes were raised in writing
by the relevant taxing authority during any presently pending audit or examination, and no material issues relating to Taxes were raised in writing by the relevant taxing authority in any completed audit or examination that can reasonably be
expected to recur in a later taxable period. None of the Tax Returns of the Company or the Company Subsidiary have been examined by and/or settled with any Governmental Entity. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where
Company or the Company Subsidiary does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.

Company nor the Company Subsidiary (i) has been a member of an Affiliated Group filing a consolidated Federal income Tax Return or (ii) has any liability for the Taxes of any other person or entity under

Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 4.02) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as

material adverse effect on Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing
could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. Except as set forth in Section 4.01 of the
Disclosure Schedule, each of Parent and Acquisition Sub has made available to the Company, and Parent has caused each of the Parent Subsidiaries to make available to the Company, complete and correct copies of its certificate of incorporation and

capital stock or other voting securities of Parent, Acquisition Sub or of any Parent Subsidiary obligating Parent, Acquisition Sub or any Parent Subsidiary to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right,
commitment, agreement, arrangement or undertaking. There are not any outstanding contractual obligations (i) of Parent, Acquisition Sub or any Parent Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of Parent,

cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, lease, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Parent or Acquisition Sub is a party or by which

with the SEC, and has heretofore made available to the Company true and complete copies of, all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents (other than preliminary materials) required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act from and

 20

filings and reports as to each Parent Benefit Plan required to have been submitted to the Internal Revenue Service or to the United States Department of Labor have been timely submitted. All contributions required to be made with respect to any
Parent Benefit Plan pursuant to the terms of the Parent Benefit Plan or any collective bargaining agreement, have been made on or before their due dates. 
  
 (b) None of the Pension Plans is subject to Title IV of ERISA and none of Parent or any other Commonly Controlled Entity has any liability
under Title IV of ERISA (whether actual or contingent) with respect to a Pension Plan, or to any other employee pension benefit plan that is or was maintained, contributed to or required to be contributed to by a Commonly Controlled Entity (other
than for contributions not yet due) or to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than for payment of premiums not yet due), which liability has not been fully paid. 
  
 (c) No Commonly Controlled Entity is required to contribute to any “multiemployer plan” (as
defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) or has withdrawn from any multiemployer plan where such withdrawal has resulted or would result in any “withdrawal liability” (within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA) that has not been fully
paid or as to which a commonly controlled entity would have liability pursuant to Section 4212(c) of ERISA. 
  
 (d) Each Parent Benefit Plan that is a Welfare Plan may be amended or terminated at any time after the Effective Time without material
liability to Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Parent Subsidiaries. 
  
 (e) No Parent Benefit Plan that is a Pension Plan has been completely or partially terminated or been the subject of a reportable event as to which notices would be required to be filed with 
  

 22 

 the PBGC. No proceeding by the PBGC to terminate any such Pension Plan has been instituted or, to the knowledge of the
Parent, threatened. 
  
 (f) There have been no
prohibited transactions with respect to any such Parent Benefit Plan. To the knowledge of the Parent, no fiduciary has any liability for breach of fiduciary duty or any other failure to act or comply in connection with the administration or
investment of the assets of any such Parent Benefit Plan. No action, suit, proceeding, hearing, or investigation with respect to the administration or the investment of the assets of any such Parent Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for
benefits) is pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent, threatened. The Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of any basis for any such action, suit, proceeding, hearing, or investigation.

the Parent SEC Documents or in Section 4.10 of the Disclosure Schedule, and except as provided in this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, none of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries is a party to any oral or written (i)
consulting agreement not terminable on not more than 30 calendar days notice or union or collective bargaining agreement, (ii) agreement with any executive officer or other key employee of Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Parent Subsidiaries, or (iii)
agreement or plan, including any stock option plan, stock appreciation right plan, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan. 
  
 SECTION 4.11 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Parent SEC Documents or Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no suit, claim,
action, proceeding or investigation pending before any Governmental Entity or, to the best knowledge of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries, threatened against Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of the Parent Subsidiaries that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent, Acquisition Sub and of the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. Except as disclosed in the Parent SEC Documents or
Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, none of Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of the Parent Subsidiaries is subject to any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent
or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. 
  
 SECTION 4.12 Permits; Compliance with Law. Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries hold all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities necessary for the lawful conduct of
their respective businesses (the “Parent Permits”), except for failures to hold such permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals that could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent.
Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of Parent Permits, except where the failure so to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent, Acquisition Sub and the
Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Except as disclosed in the Parent SEC Documents or in Section 4.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, to the best knowledge of Parent, the businesses of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries are not
being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except for possible violations that could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. As of the date of this Agreement, no investigation, inquiry or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to Parent, Acquisition Sub or any Parent
Subsidiary is pending or, to the best knowledge of Parent, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct any such investigation, inquiry or review, other than, in each case, those the outcome of which could not be
reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. Parent is and at all times has been in full compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002 (“Sarbanes”). In
furtherance of this representation, and without limiting the foregoing, Parent has taken those actions set forth on Section 
  

 23 

 4.12 of the Disclosure Schedule and copies of the written procedures and policies adopted to comply with Sarbanes are
attached to Section 4.12 of the Disclosure Schedule. 
  
 SECTION
4.13 Tax Matters. 
  
 (a) Parent,
Acquisition Sub and each of the Parent Subsidiaries has filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, the failure of which filing would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger. All such returns are complete and correct in all material respects (except to the extent a reserve has been established on its financial statements as of
the Parent Balance Sheet Date (the “Parent Most Recent Financial Statements”) contained in the Parent SEC Documents). Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries has paid (or Parent has paid on its subsidiaries’
behalf) all Taxes required to be paid by it (without regard to whether a Tax Return is required or to the amount shown on any Tax Return), except Taxes for which an adequate reserve has been established on the Parent Most Recent Financial
Statements. The Parent Most Recent Financial Statements reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements. The unpaid
Taxes do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of Parent and each Parent Subsidiary in filing their Tax Returns. 
  
 (b) Except as set forth in Section 4.13 of the Disclosure
Schedule, no material Tax Return of Parent, the Acquisition Sub or any of the Parent Subsidiaries is under audit or examination by any taxing authority, and no written or unwritten notice of such an audit or examination has been received by Parent,

 SECTION 5.02 No Solicitation. 
  
 (a) The Company and its officers, directors, employees,

hereinafter defined). From and after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Parent shall, nor permit any of its subsidiaries to, authorize or permit any of their respective officers, directors or
employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing
non-public information or assistance), or knowingly take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) participate in any
discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if, at any time the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with independent legal counsel (who may be such
party’s regularly engaged independent counsel), that it is necessary to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law, the Company or Parent, as applicable may, in response to an unsolicited
Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined), and subject to compliance with Section 5.02(d), (x) furnish information with respect to the Company or Parent, as applicable, to the person making such unsolicited Superior Proposal pursuant to a
confidentiality agreement in reasonably customary form, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer
from any person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of the assets of the Company or the Company Subsidiary, or Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 20% or more of any class
of equity securities of the Company or the Company Subsidiary, or Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of the Parent Subsidiaries, as applicable, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 20% or
more of any class of equity securities of the Company or the Company Subsidiary, or Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of the Parent Subsidiaries, any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all the assets,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of the Parent Subsidiaries, as applicable, (other than the transactions between the parties hereto contemplated by this
Agreement), or any other transaction the consummation of which could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or materially delay the Merger or which could reasonably be expected to dilute materially the benefits to the other party
hereto of the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide proposal made by a third party to acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash and/or
securities, more than 50% of the shares of Company Stock, the capital stock of the Company Subsidiary or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, then outstanding or all or substantially all the assets of the Company, the Company Subsidiary or Parent, as
applicable, and otherwise on terms which the Board of Directors of the Company or Parent, as applicable, determines in its good faith judgment (based on the advice of a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) to be more favorable to
the Company’s stockholders or Parent’s stockholders, as applicable than the terms of the Merger set forth in this Agreement. 
  

 34 

 (b) Except as set forth in this Section 5.02, neither the Board of Directors of the

or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) cause the Company to enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Board of Directors of
the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with independent legal counsel (who may be the Company’s regularly engaged independent counsel), that it is necessary to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the
Company’s stockholders under applicable law, the Board of Directors of the Company may (subject to the other provisions of Section 5.02) withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger, approve or recommend a
Superior Proposal (as defined above), cause the Company to enter into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement, but in each case only at a time that is after the fifth business day following Parent’s receipt
of written notice (a “Notice of Company Superior Proposal”) advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and
identifying the person making such Superior Proposal. In addition, if the Company or the Company Subsidiary proposes to enter into an agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, it shall concurrently with entering into such agreement pay, or
cause to be paid, to Parent the Termination Fee (as such term is defined in Section 6.05(b). 
  
 (c) Except as set forth in this Section 5.02, neither the Board of Directors of Parent nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or
modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to the Company, the approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger by the Board of Directors or such committee, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend,
any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) cause Parent to enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with
independent legal counsel (who may be Parent’s regularly engaged independent counsel), that it is necessary to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to Parent’s stockholders under applicable law, the Board of Directors of
Parent may (subject to the other provisions of Section 5.02) withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger, approve or recommend a Superior Proposal (as defined below), cause the Company to enter into an
agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement, but in each case only at a time that is after the fifth business day following the Company’s receipt of written notice (a “Notice of Parent Superior
Proposal”) advising the Company that the Board of Directors of Parent has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal. In
addition, if Parent proposes to enter into an agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, it shall concurrently with entering into such agreement pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company the Termination Fee). 
  
 (d) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth
in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.02, the Company shall promptly advise Parent orally and in writing of any request for information or of any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or Acquisition Proposal
and the identity of the person making such request or Acquisition Proposal. In addition to the obligations of Parent set forth in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this Section 5.02, Parent shall promptly advise the Company orally and in
writing of any request for information or of any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the person making such request or Acquisition Proposal. 
  
 (e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall prohibit
the Company or Parent from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to its stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the 
  

 35 

 Board of Directors of the Company or Parent, as applicable, after consultation with independent legal
counsel (who may be such party’s regularly engaged independent counsel), failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law; provided, however, none of the Company, Parent nor
their respective Boards of Directors nor any committee thereof shall, except as permitted by Section 5.02(b) or (c), withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to this Agreement or the Merger or approve or
recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal.

the other provisions of this Agreement, neither the Company nor Parent shall, nor permit any its subsidiaries to, take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in (i) any of its representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement that are qualified as to materiality becoming untrue, (ii) any of such representations and warranties that are not so qualified becoming untrue in any material respect, or (iii) any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII

in any judicial action shall be entitled to receive from the other party reimbursement for the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and court costs. 
  
 SECTION 9.10 No Remedy in Certain Circumstances. Each party agrees that, should any court or other competent
authority hold any provision of this Agreement to be null, void or unenforceable, or order any party to take any action inconsistent herewith or not to take an action consistent herewith or required hereby, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions and obligations contained or set forth in this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the foregoing inconsistent action or the failure to take an action constitutes a material breach of
this Agreement or makes this Agreement impossible to perform, in which case this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Article VIII hereof. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent that a party hereto took an action
inconsistent herewith or failed to take action consistent herewith or required hereby pursuant to an order or judgment of a court or other competent authority, such party shall incur no liability or obligation unless such party did not in good faith
seek to resist or object to the imposition or entering of such order or judgment.
