SYNCHRONOSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (Continued)
(in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)
The consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2010 and for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results
for the interim periods. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements and should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in the Annual Report of Synchronoss
Technologies, Inc. incorporated by reference in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Synchronoss Technologies UK Ltd., Synchronoss
Technologies Ireland, Ltd., Wisor Telecom Corporation (Wisor) and Synchronoss Telecom India
Private Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation. The Company has no unconsolidated subsidiaries or investments accounted for under
the equity method. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not
necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The balance
sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but
does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements.
1. Description of Business
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the Company or Synchronoss) is a leading provider of
on-demand transaction management platforms that enable communications service providers (CSPs),
cable operators/ multi-services operators (MSOs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with
embedded connectivity (e.g. smartphones, laptops, netbooks and mobile Internet devices, among
others), e-Tailers/retailers and other customers to accelerate and monetize their go-to-market
strategies for connected devices. This includes automating subscriber activation, order management
and service provisioning from any channel (e.g., e-commerce, telesales, customer stores, indirect
and other retail outlets, etc.) to any communication service (e.g., wireless(2G, 3G, 4G), high
speed access, local access, IPTV, cable, satellite TV, etc.) across any connected device type. The
Companys ConvergenceNow®, ConvergenceNow® Plus+ and InterconnectNowTM platforms provide end-to-end seamless
integration between customer-facing channels/applications, communication services, or devices and
back-office infrastructure-related systems and processes. The Companys customers rely on its
cloud-based solutions and technology to automate the process of activating customers while
delivering additional communication services, including new service offerings and ongoing customer
care. Synchronoss has designed its platforms to be flexible and scalable to enable multiple
converged communication services to be managed across multiple distribution channels, including
e-commerce, telesales, customer stores, indirect, and other retail outlets, etc., allowing the
Company to meet the rapidly changing and converging services and connected devices offered by its
customers. The Company enables its customers to acquire, retain and service subscribers quickly,
reliably and cost-effectively by simplifying the processes associated with managing the customer
experience for ordering and activating connected devices and services through the use of its
platforms.
2. Basis of Presentation
For further information about the Companys basis of presentation or its significant
accounting policies, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition Milestone Method (Topic 605):
Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition (ASU 2010-17). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining
a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue
recognition for research or development transactions. Consideration that is contingent on
achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the
milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered
substantive. Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be
bifurcated. An arrangement may contain both substantive and non-substantive milestones, and each
milestone should be evaluated individually to determine if it is substantive. ASU 2010-17 is
effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods
within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The
Company
is currently evaluating the early adoption option and because the Company currently does not have
performance payment milestones in its contractual arrangements it does not expect that the adoption
would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

4. Earnings per Common Share
The Company calculates basic and diluted per share amounts based on net earnings for the
periods presented. The Company uses the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period to calculate basic earnings per share. The weighted average number of common shares used
in the Companys calculation of diluted per share amounts includes the dilutive effects of stock
options and restricted stock awards based on the treasury stock method. The following table
provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net
income attributable to common stockholders per common share. Stock options that are anti-dilutive
and excluded from the following table totaled 1,691 and 523 for the three months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively, and 1,526 and 1,217 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale. The fair value hierarchy
established in the guidance adopted by the Company prioritizes the inputs used in valuation
techniques into three levels as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Observable inputs quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities; |
|
|
|
Level 2 Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets and liabilities includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted
prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from
valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs includes amounts derived from valuation models where
one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant
assumptions. |

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets. The
market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions
involving identical or comparable assets. The Companys marketable securities investments
classified as Level 2 primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these
securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2010. No transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value
measurement hierarchy occurred during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010.

The weighted-average fair value (as of the date of grant) of the options granted was
$10.72 and $6.23 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and
$10.40 and $6.05 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded total pre-tax stock-based compensation
expense of $2.8 million ($1.8 million after tax or $0.06 per diluted share) and $2.0 million ($1.4
million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share), respectively, which includes both intrinsic value
for equity awards issued prior to 2006 and fair value for equity awards issued after January 1,
2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded total pre-tax
stock-based compensation expense of $5.6 million ($3.7 million after tax or $0.12 per diluted
share) and $3.9 million ($2.8 million after tax or $0.09 per diluted share), respectively, which
includes both intrinsic value for equity awards issued prior to 2006 and fair value for equity
awards issued after January 1, 2006. The total stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested
equity awards not yet recognized as an expense as of June 30, 2010 was approximately $20.8 million.
That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.84 years.

8. Capital Transactions
On February 1, 2010, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a universal
shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The registration statement covers the offer and sale of
up to $150 million of securities which may include debt securities, warrants, common stock and
preferred stock. The registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 14, 2010. The Company has no immediate plans or current commitments to sell
securities. The terms of any offering under its shelf registration statement will be determined at
the time of the offering and disclosed in a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
9. Legal Matters
On September 5, 2008, September 18, 2008, and September 23, 2008, three complaints were filed
against the Company and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court
for the District of New Jersey purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders who purchased the
Companys common stock between February 4, 2008 and June 9, 2008 (the Securities Law Actions).
The complaints were consolidated and an amended complaint was filed by the plaintiffs on March 13,
2009. The plaintiffs in each complaint asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They alleged that certain of the Companys public disclosures
regarding its financial prospects during the proposed class period were false and/or misleading.
The principal allegation set forth in each complaint was that the Company issued misleading
statements concerning its business prospects relating to the activation of Apple Inc.s iPhone
product. On April 7, 2010, the Court granted the Companys Motion to Dismiss all of the claims
against all of the defendants without prejudice.
On October 23, 2008 and November 3, 2008, complaints were filed in the state court of New
Jersey and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against certain of the
Companys officers and directors, purportedly derivatively on behalf of the Company (the
Derivative Suits). The Complaints in the Derivative Suits assert that the named officers and
directors breached their fiduciary duties and other obligations in connection with the disclosures
that also are the subject of the Securities Law Actions described above. The Company is also named
as a nominal defendant in the Derivative Suits, although the lawsuits are derivative in nature and
purportedly asserted on the Companys behalf. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs,
fees, and other relief within the Courts discretion. The plaintiffs in the Derivative Suits have
agreed to stay their claims pending the courts decision in the Defendants Motion to Dismiss in
the Securities Laws Actions. The proceedings in the state court of New Jersey are currently subject
to the stay order in that case, and in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey
Defendants deadline to answer or otherwise respond is currently set for September 17, 2010. Due
to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the
Derivative Suits at this time, and the Company can give no assurance that the claims in these
complaints will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of
operations.
Except for the above claims, the Company is not currently subject to any legal proceedings
that could have a material adverse effect on its operations; however, it may from time to time
become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.
10. Subsequent Events Review
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and transactions through the filing date. On
July 19, 2010 the Company acquired 100% of FusionOne, Inc. (FusionOne) a leader in mobile content
transfer and synchronization software. The Company paid approximately $40 million at closing,
comprised of approximately $32 million in cash and issued approximately 400 thousand shares
totaling $8 million in stock, and potentially may make payments totaling up to $35 million in cash
and stock, based on achievements of certain financial targets for the period from July 1, 2010
through December 31, 2011. The acquisition of FusionOne accelerates the Companys overall
connected device growth strategy and customer diversification efforts. The Company is currently
evaluating the acquisition-date fair value and the acquisition-related costs.
On
July 29, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors adopted the
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. 2010 New Hire Equity Incentive Plan.
The Companys Board of Directors also granted options to
purchase an aggregate of 410,000 shares of the Companys common
stock and 20,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company to
certain employees of FusionOne in connection with the Companys
acquisition of FusionOne.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set
forth in our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our annual report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2009. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management as of the date hereof based on
information currently available to our management. Use of words such as believes, expects,
anticipates, intends, plans, should, continues, likely or similar expressions, indicate
a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance
and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from the
forward-looking statements we make. We caution investors not to place substantial reliance on the
forward-looking statements included in this report. These statements speak only as of the date of
this report (unless another date is indicated), and we undertake no obligation to update or revise
the statements in light of future developments. All numbers are expressed in thousands unless
otherwise stated.
Overview
We are a leading provider of on-demand transaction management platforms that enable
communications service providers (CSPs), cable operators/ multi-services operators (MSOs), original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with embedded connectivity (e.g. smartphones, laptops, netbooks and
mobile Internet devices, among others), e-Tailers/retailers and other customers to accelerate and
monetize their go-to-market strategies for connected devices. This includes automating subscriber
activation, order management and service provisioning from any channel (e.g., e-commerce,
telesales, customer stores, indirect and other retail outlets, etc.) to any communication service
(e.g., wireless(2G, 3G, 4G), high speed access, local access, IPTV, cable, satellite TV, etc.)
across any connected device type. Our ConvergenceNow®, ConvergenceNow® Plus+ and InterconnectNowTM platforms
provide end-to-end seamless integration between customer-facing channels/applications,
communication services, or devices and back-office infrastructure-related systems and processes.
Our customers rely on our cloud-based solutions and technology to automate the process of
activating customers while delivering additional communication services, including new service
offerings and ongoing customer care. Our platforms are designed to be flexible and scalable to
enable multiple converged communication services to be managed across multiple distribution
channels allowing us to meet the rapidly changing and converging services and connected devices
offered by our customers. We enable our customers to acquire, retain and service subscribers
quickly, reliably and cost-effectively by simplifying the processes associated with managing the
customer experience for ordering and activating connected devices and services through the use of
our platforms.
Our industry-leading customers include tier 1 service providers such as AT&T Inc.,
Verizon Wireless and Vodafone, tier 1 cable operators /MSOs like Cablevision, Charter
Communications, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable and large OEMs/e-Tailers such as Apple, Dell and
Nokia. These customers utilize our platforms, technology and services to service both consumer and
business customers, including over 300 of the Fortune 500 companies.
Revenues
We generate a substantial portion of our revenues on a per-transaction basis, most of
which is derived from contracts that extend up to 60 months from execution. For the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we derived approximately 79% and 81%, respectively, of our revenues
from transactions processed. Most of the remainder of our
revenues was generated by professional services.
Historically, our revenues have been directly impacted by the number of transactions
processed. In recent years, the fourth quarter has had the highest volume of transactions processed
due to increased consumer activation activity during the holiday season. The future success of our
business depends on the continued growth of consumer and business transactions and, as such, the
volume of transactions that we process could fluctuate on a quarterly basis. See Current Trends
Affecting Our Results of Operations for certain matters regarding future results of operations.
10
We currently derive a significant portion of our revenues from one customer, AT&T. For the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, AT&T accounted for approximately 66% of our revenues. Our
agreement with AT&T was renewed effective January 1, 2009
and runs through December of 2011. AT&T may renew this agreement for two additional one year
periods. This agreement defines the work activities, transaction pricing, forecasting process,
service level agreements and remedies associated with certain services performed by us for AT&Ts
ecommerce organization. The agreement provides for AT&T to pay us (i) a monthly hosting fee, (ii)
a fee based on the number of transactions processed through our
technology platform, (iii) a fee
based on manual processing services and (iv) for professional services rendered by us. A copy of
this agreement has been previously filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Our
five largest customers, for the three months ending June 30, 2010 were AT&T, Time Warner
Cable, Level 3, Frontier Communications and Dell, which accounted for approximately 83% of our
revenues, compared to 86% of our revenues from our five largest customers, AT&T, Time Warner Cable,
Level 3, Vonage and Cablevision, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. See Risk Factors for
certain matters bearing risks on our future results of operations.
Costs and Expenses
Our costs and expenses consist of cost of services, research and development, selling,
general and administrative, depreciation and amortization and interest and other expense.
Cost of services includes all direct materials, direct labor, cost of facilities and
those indirect costs related to revenues such as indirect labor, materials and supplies. Our
primary cost of services is related to our information technology and systems department, including
network costs, data center maintenance, database management and data processing costs, as well as
personnel costs associated with service implementation, customer deployment and customer care. Also
included in cost of services are costs associated with our exception handling centers and the
maintenance of those centers. Currently, we utilize a combination of employees and third-party
providers to process transactions through these centers.
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet GAAP criteria
for deferral and amortization. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of
technological feasibility do not meet these criteria, and are expensed as incurred. Research and
development expense consists primarily of costs related to personnel, including salaries and other
personnel-related expenses, consulting fees and the cost of facilities, computer and support
services used in service technology development. We also expense costs relating to developing
modifications and minor enhancements of our existing technology and services.
Selling, general and administrative expense consists of personnel costs including
salaries, sales commissions, sales operations and other personnel-related expense, travel and
related expense, trade shows, costs of communications equipment and support services, facilities
costs, consulting fees and costs of marketing programs, such as Internet and print. General and
administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expense for our
executive, administrative, legal, finance and human resources functions, facilities, professional
services fees, certain audit, tax and bad debt expense.
Depreciation and amortization relates to our property and equipment and includes our
network infrastructure and facilities. Amortization relates to the customer lists and technology
acquired from Wisor in 2008.
Interest and other expense consist of interest on our lease financing obligations and other
non-operating expenses.
Current Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our on-demand business model enables delivery of our proprietary solutions over the Web
as a service and has been driven by market trends such as various forms of order provisioning,
local number portability, the implementation of new technologies, subscriber growth, competitive
churn, network changes, growth of the emerging device market (i.e., smartphone devices, netbooks,
etc.) and consolidations in the industry. In particular, the emergence of order provisioning of
e-commerce transactions for smartphone devices, wireless, VoIP, LNP, and other communication
services surrounding the convergence of bundled services has increased the need for our services
and we believe will continue to be a source of growth for us.
11
To support the growth driven by the favorable industry trends mentioned above, we
continue to look for opportunities to improve our operating efficiencies, such as the utilization
of offshore technical and non-technical resources for our exception handling center management. We
believe that these opportunities will continue to provide future benefits and position us to
support revenue growth. In addition, we anticipate further automation of the transactions generated
by our more mature customers and additional transaction
types. Our cost of services can fluctuate from period to period based upon the level of
automation and the on-boarding of new transaction types.
We continue to advance our plans for the expansion of our platform footprint with
international carriers to support connected devices and multiple networks through our focus on
transaction management. Our initiatives with AT&T across direct and indirect commerce channels,
business and consumer segments continue to grow along with our account presence with a number of
Tier 1 cable MSOs and connected device OEMs. We are also exploring additional opportunities
through merger and acquisition activities to support our customer, product and geographic
diversification strategies.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
in accordance with GAAP requires us to utilize accounting policies and make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during a fiscal period. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) considers an
accounting policy to be critical if it is important to a companys financial condition and results
of operations, and if it requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in
its application. We have discussed the selection and development of the critical accounting
policies with the audit committee of our board of directors, and the audit committee has reviewed
our related disclosures in this Form 10-Q. Although we believe that our judgments and estimates are
appropriate, correct and reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from those
estimates.
We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2 in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, the following accounting policies
involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we
believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations. If actual results or events differ materially from
those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of
operations for future periods could be materially affected. See Risk Factors for certain matters
bearing risks on our future results of operations.

There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the
three months ended June 30, 2010. Please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a more complete discussion of our critical accounting
policies and estimates.

Net Revenue. Net revenues increased $6.7 million to $37.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was due primarily
to increased transaction volumes and expansion into new programs from our AT&T relationship. Net
revenues related to AT&T increased $4.4 million to $24.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. AT&T represented 66% of our revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Net revenues outside of AT&T generated $12.7 million of our
revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $10.4 million during the three
months ended June 30, 2009. Net revenues outside of AT&T represented 34% of our revenues during
the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Transaction revenues recognized for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 represented 79% or $29.4 million and 81% or $24.6 million of
net revenues, respectively. Professional service revenues increased as a percentage of sales to
19% or $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 18% or $5.6 million for
the previous three months ended June 30, 2009.
Expense
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $3.8 million to $19.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, due primarily to an increase of
$1.5 million in personnel and related costs and an increase of $341 thousand in stock-based
compensation. The increase in personnel and related costs and stock-based compensation was due
primarily to an increase in headcount. There was an increase of $1.2 million for outside
consultants related to growth in programs with existing customers. There was an increase of $703
thousand in telecommunication and facility costs related to the increased capacity associated with
our data facilities that included increases related to the global deployment of our
ConvergenceNow® Plus+ platform. Additionally there was
an increase in travel costs of $89 thousand related to our global and domestic expansion. Cost of
services as a percentage of revenues increased to 51.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010,
as compared to 49.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Research and Development. Research and development expense increased $1.9 million to $4.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, due
primarily to an increase of $983 thousand in personnel and related costs and an increase of $196
thousand in stock based compensation. The increase in personnel and related costs and stock-based
compensation was due to increased headcount. In addition there was an increase of $541 thousand in
consulting costs related to the development of new technologies and an increase of $215 thousand in
telecommunication and facility costs related to the increase in headcount and
the utilization of our expanded resources. Research and development expense as a percentage
of revenues increased to 13.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 9.8% for the
three months ended June 30, 2009.
13
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased
$780 thousand to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period
in 2009 due to an increase in personnel and related costs of $316 thousand and stock-based
compensation expense of $251 thousand, consulting costs of $333 thousand and marketing costs of
$132 thousand offset by a decrease in professional services of $187 thousand and a decrease in
telecommunication and facility costs of $91 thousand. The increase in personnel and related and
stock-based compensation costs was primarily due to an increase in headcount. The consulting and
marketing costs increases relate to our expanded business development and marketing activities.
Included in the increase of consulting costs were acquisition-related costs of $314 thousand
related to the activities prior to the July 19, 2010 acquisition of FusionOne. The decrease in
professional services was primarily due to a reduction in legal fees and the decrease in
telecommunication and facility costs was primarily due to a reduction in services. In addition
there was an increase in our bad debt expense of $43 thousand. Selling, general and administrative
expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 17.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010,
compared to 18.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in percentage was a
result of a higher revenue base as compared to the same period 2009.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $413 thousand
to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009,
related to the disposition of certain assets and completion of the amortization over the useful
lives offset by investments in the new facility. Depreciation and amortization expense as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 5.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to
7.4% for the same period in 2009.
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $567 thousand to $5.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This increase was due
primarily to increased revenues from our AT&T relationship. Income from operations decreased as a
percentage of revenues to 13.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 14.7% for
the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income decreased $31 thousand to $122 thousand
for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. Interest and other
income decreased primarily due to lower effective interest rates on our investments.
Interest and other expense. Interest expense and other expense increased $48 thousand to $293
thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. Interest
and other expense increased primarily due to currency fluctuations related to the settlement of our
customer account sales. During three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 we recognized $228
thousand and $221 thousand of interest expense related to the facility lease.
Income Tax. Our effective tax rate was approximately 39.8% and approximately 42.1% during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We review the expected annual effective
income tax rate and make changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as
changes in forecasted annual operating income, changes to the actual and forecasted permanent
book-to-tax differences, or changes resulting from the impact of a tax law change. Our effective tax rate is higher than our US federal statutory rate due to state income taxes offset by taxes in foreign jurisdictions where the tax rate is lower than the US federal statutory rate. During the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized approximately $1.9 million in related tax expense.

Net Revenue. Net revenues increased $12.2 million to $72.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 2010, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was due primarily to
increased transaction volumes and expansion into new programs from our AT&T relationship. Net
revenues related to AT&T increased $9.2 million to $47.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2010 compared to the same period in 2009. AT&T represented 66% and 64% of our revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net revenues outside of AT&T generated $24.5
million of our revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $21.5 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net revenues outside of AT&T represented 34% and 36% of
our revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Transaction
revenues recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 represented 80% or $57.7
million and 84% or $50.3 million of net revenues, respectively. Professional service revenues
increased as a percentage of sales to 19% or $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010,
compared to 15% or $9.3 million for the previous six months ended June 30, 2009. Professional
services contributed to the increased sales volume as new programs begin to ramp and will continue
to fluctuate until they are replaced with transactional volume.
Expense
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $6.3 million to $36.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, due primarily to an increase of $2.3
million in personnel and related costs and an increase of $723 thousand in stock-based
compensation. The increase in personnel and related costs and stock-based compensation was due
primarily to an increase in headcount. There was an increase of $1.9 million for outside
consultants related to growth in programs with existing customers. There was an increase of $1.1
million in telecommunication and facility costs related to the increased capacity associated with
our data facilities that included increases related to the global deployment of our
ConvergenceNow® Plus+ platform. Additionally there was
an increase in travel costs of $209 thousand related to our global and domestic expansion. Cost of
services as a percentage of revenues increased to 50.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as
compared to 50.6% for the six months ended June 30 2009.
Research and Development. Research and development expense increased $3.1 million to $9.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, due primarily
to an increase of $1.3 million in personnel and related costs and an increase of $418 thousand in
stock based compensation. The increase in personnel and related costs and stock-based compensation
was due to increased headcount. In addition there was an increase of $962 thousand in consulting
costs and professional services related to the development of new technologies and an increase of
$393 thousand in telecommunication and facility costs related to the increase in headcount and the
utilization of our expanded resources. Research and development expense as a percentage of
revenues increased to 12.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 10.2% for the six
months ended June 30, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased
$1.2 million to $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period
in 2009 due to an increase in personnel and related costs of $490 thousand and stock-based
compensation expense of $499 thousand, consulting costs of $523 thousand and marketing costs of
$293 thousand offset by a decrease in professional services of $529 thousand and a decrease in
telecommunication and facility costs of $130 thousand. The increase in personnel and related and
stock-based compensation costs was primarily due to an increase in headcount. The consulting and
marketing costs increases relate to our expanded business development and marketing activities.
Included in the increase of consulting costs were acquisition-related costs of $314 thousand
related to the activities prior to the July 19, 2010 acquisition of FusionOne. The decrease in
professional services relates to a reduction in legal fees and the decrease in telecommunication
and facility costs was primarily due to a reduction in services. In addition there was an increase
in our bad debt expense of $93 thousand and a decrease of $17 thousand in other costs. Selling,
general and administrative expense as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 17.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 19.4% for the
six months ended June 30 2009. The decrease in percentage was a result of a higher revenue base as
compared to the same period 2009.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $258 thousand
to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009,
related to the disposition of certain assets and completion of the amortization over the useful
lives offset by investments in the new facility. Depreciation and amortization expense as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 5.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to
6.8% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in percentage was a result of a higher revenue base
as compared to the same period 2009.
15
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $1.9 million to $9.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This increase was due
primarily to increased revenues from our AT&T relationship. Income from operations increased as a
percentage of revenues to 13.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to 13% for the
six months ended June 30, 2009.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income decreased $119 thousand to $233 thousand
for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. Interest and other
income decreased primarily due to lower effective interest rates on our investments.
Interest and other expense. Interest expense and other expense increased $271 thousand to
$567 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. Interest
and other expense increased primarily due to the lease financing obligation related to our
Pennsylvania facility that began in April 2009. During six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 we
recognized $456 thousand and $221 thousand of interest expense related to the facility lease.
Income Tax. Our effective tax rate was approximately 39.5% and approximately 40.9% during the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We review the expected annual effective
income tax rate and make changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as
changes in forecasted annual operating income, changes to the actual and forecasted permanent
book-to-tax differences, or changes resulting from the impact of a tax law change. Our effective tax rate is
higher than our US federal statutory rate due to state income taxes offset by taxes in foreign jurisdictions
where the rate is lower than the US federal statutory rate. During the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized approximately $3.7 million and $3.2 million in related tax
expense, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations. Our cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities balance was $102 million at June 30, 2010, an increase of
$4.6 million as compared to the end of 2009. This increase was due to cash provided by operations
and the exercise of stock options, offset by acquisitions of fixed assets associated with our
facilities. We anticipate that our principal uses of cash in the future will be to fund the
expansion of our business through both organic growth as well as possible acquisition activities
and the expansion of our customer base internationally. We anticipate that our cash will be
sufficient to fund our July 2010 Acquisition of FusionOne, Inc. For further discussion refer to
footnote 10 in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly
Report for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Uses of cash will also include facility expansion,
capital expenditures and working capital.
Discussion of Cash Flows
Cash flows from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 was $7.2 million, as compared to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel related expenditures and
outside consultants. We also make cash payments related to taxes and leased facilities. The
decrease of $1.8 million is primarily due to the increase in working capital and net income as
compared to 2009. The cash provided by working capital included a $1.7 million increase in our
accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by a $4.4 million increase in our accounts receivable
balance as our collection of customer accounts only partially offset the increase of $12.2 million
in customer sales. Additionally net income increased to $5.7 million, as compared to 2009.
Cash flows from investing. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 was $7.7 million, as compared to $8.9 million for the six months June 30, 2009. The
primary use of cash was $4.1 million used to purchase marketable
securities and $5.3 million used to purchase property and equipment primarily related to our
continued investments in our global information technology and business system infrastructure. The
decrease in cash used in investing was due to the completion of our Pennsylvania data facility in
June 2009.
Cash flows from financing. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 was $2.7 million, as compared to $948 thousand for the six months ended June 30,
2009. The increase was due to the increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and an
increase in the tax benefit from the exercise of stock options, offset by payments on our capital
obligation related to our data facility in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
16
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash generated from our existing
operations will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Although inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and equipment, we do
not believe that inflation has had any material effect on our results of operations for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition Milestone Method (Topic
605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition (ASU 2010-17). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on
defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of
revenue recognition for research or development transactions. Consideration that is contingent on
achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the
milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered
substantive. Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be
bifurcated. An arrangement may contain both substantive and non-substantive milestones, and each
milestone should be evaluated individually to determine if it is substantive. ASU 2010-17 is
effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods
within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We are
currently evaluating the early adoption option and because we currently do not have performance
payment milestones in our contractual arrangements we do not expect that the adoption would have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market Risk
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider
the factors discussed in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which could
materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. We believe our exposure
associated with these market risks has not changed materially since December 31, 2009.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We conduct business outside the U.S. in several currencies including the British Pound
Sterling, Euro, and Indian Rupee. The financial statements of these foreign subsidiaries are
translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and
average rates for the period for revenues and expenses.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Although our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, we may conduct business and incur costs in the
local currencies of other countries in which we may operate, make sales and
buy materials. As a result, we are subject to currency translation risk. Further, changes in
exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar could affect our future net sales and
cost of sales and could result in exchange losses.
We cannot accurately predict future exchange rates or the overall impact of future exchange
rate fluctuations on our business, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent
that our international activities recorded in local currencies increase in the future, our exposure
to fluctuations in currency exchange rates will correspondingly increase and hedging activities may
be considered if appropriate.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2010. Based upon that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2010, the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that
we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 that was
conducted during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. |

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On September 5, 2008, September 18, 2008, and September 23, 2008, three complaints were filed
against us and certain of our officers and directors in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders who purchased our common
stock between February 4, 2008 and June 9, 2008 (the Securities Law Actions). The complaints were
consolidated and an amended complaint was filed by the plaintiffs on March 13, 2009. The plaintiffs
in each complaint asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. They alleged that certain of our public disclosures regarding our financial prospects during
the proposed class period were false and/or misleading. The principal allegation set forth in each
complaint was that we issued misleading statements concerning our business prospects relating to
the activation of Apple Inc.s iPhone product. On April 7, 2010, the Court granted our Motion to
Dismiss all of the complaints against all of the defendants without prejudice.
On October 23, 2008 and November 3, 2008, complaints were filed in the state court of New
Jersey and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against certain of our
officers and directors, purportedly derivatively on our behalf (the Derivative Suits). The
Complaints in the Derivative Suits assert that the named officers and directors breached their
fiduciary duties and other obligations in connection with the disclosures that also are the subject
of the Securities Law Actions described above. We are also named as a nominal defendant in the
Derivative Suits, although the lawsuits are derivative in nature and purportedly asserted on our
behalf. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs, fees, and other relief within the Courts
discretion. We are in the process of evaluating the claims in the Derivative Suits. The plaintiffs
in the Derivative Suits have agreed to stay their claims pending the courts decision in the
Defendants Motion to Dismiss in the Securities Laws Actions. The proceedings in the state court of
New Jersey are currently subject to the stay order in that case, and in the U.S. District Court for
the District of New Jersey Defendants deadline to answer or otherwise respond is currently set for
September 17, 2010. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot predict the outcome
of the Derivative Suits at this time, and we can give no assurance that the claims in these
complaints will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
Except for the above claims, we are not currently subject to any legal proceedings that
could have a material adverse effect on our operations; however, we may from time to time become a
party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.
18
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider
the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or
future results. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional
risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also
may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any
of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be
negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our stock could decline, and our
stockholders may lose part or all of their investment.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
None.
Use of Proceeds
On June 14, 2006, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-132080) relating to the
IPO was declared effective by the SEC. The managing underwriters of our IPO were Goldman, Sachs &
Co., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC. On June 20, 2006, we closed the
sale of 6,532,107 shares of common stock in our IPO for net proceeds to us of $45.7 million. In
July 2006, we sold an additional 959,908 shares of common stock upon the exercise of an
over-allotment option granted to the underwriters for net proceeds to us of $7.1 million. No
offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers or persons
owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates. We
have invested our net proceeds of the offering in money market funds pending their use to fund our
expansion. Part of our current growth strategy is to further penetrate the North American markets
and expand our customer base internationally. We anticipate that a portion of the proceeds of the
offering will enable us to finance this expansion. In addition, we could use a portion of the
proceeds of our IPO to make strategic investments in, or pursue acquisitions of, other businesses,
products or technologies.

(ii) Has returned all property of the Company in the Executives possession;
and
(iii) If requested by the Board, has resigned as a member of the Board and as a
member of the boards of directors of all subsidiaries of the Company, to the extent

(b) Severance Pay in the Absence of a Change in Control. If, during the term of this
Agreement and prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control or more than 12 months following a
Change in Control, the Company terminates the Executives Employment with the Company for a reason
other than Cause or Permanent Disability and a Separation occurs (as such terms are defined below),
then the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum severance payment equal to (i) one and one-half
times his Base Salary in effect at the time of the termination of Employment and (ii) his average
annual bonus based on the actual amounts received in the immediately preceding two years. If,
during the term of this Agreement and prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control or more than
12 months following a Change in Control, Executive resigns his Employment for Good Reason and a
Separation occurs (as such term is
defined below), then the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum
3
severance
payment equal to
(i) one times his Base Salary in effect at the time of the termination of Employment and (ii) his
average annual bonus based on the actual amounts received in the immediately preceding two years.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Executive Employment is
terminated for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability or the Executive resigns his
Employment for Good Reason under this subsection (b) within the initial two years of this
Agreement, then in lieu of using the average bonus received in the immediately preceding two years
for the above calculation, such calculation shall use his Target Bonus Amount if such termination
under this Subsection (b) occurs in the first year of the Agreement and the actual bonus the
Executive received during the initial year of the Agreement if such termination under this
Subsection (b) occurs in the second year of the Agreement. However, the amount of the severance
payment under this Subsection (b) shall be reduced by the amount of any severance pay or pay in
lieu of notice that the Executive receives from the Company under a federal or state statute
(including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act).
(c) Severance Pay in Connection with a Change in Control. If, during the term of this
Agreement and within 12 months following a Change in Control, the Company terminates the
Executives Employment with the Company for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability or
the Executive resigns his Employment for Good Reason and a Separation occurs, then the Company
shall pay the Executive a lump sum severance payment equal to two times his Base Salary in effect
at the time of the termination of Employment plus two times the Executives average bonus received
in the immediately preceding two years. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the
event that the Executive is terminated or resigns his Employment for Good Reason under this
subsection (b) within the initial two years of this Agreement, then in lieu of using the average
bonus received in the immediately preceding two years for the above calculation, such calculation
shall use his Target Bonus Amount if such termination under this Subsection (b) occurs in the first
year of the Agreement and the actual bonus the Executive received during the initial year of the
Agreement if such termination under this Subsection (b) occurs in the second year of the Agreement.
However, the amount of the severance payment under this Subsection (c) shall be reduced by the
amount of any severance pay or pay in lieu of notice that the Executive receives from the Company
under a federal or state statute (including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act).
(d) Parachute Taxes. If amounts paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement (the Total Payments) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
section 4999 of the Code, and the regulations thereunder or any interest or penalties with respect
to such excise tax (such excise tax and any such interest or penalties are collectively referred to
as the Excise Tax), then the Total Payments shall be reduced to ensure that the Total Payments
are not subject to Excise Tax. In determining whether to cap the Total Payments, compensation or
other amounts that the Executive is entitled to receive other than pursuant to this Agreement shall
be disregarded. All determinations and calculations required to be made under this provision will
be made by an independent accounting firm selected by Executive from among the largest eight
accounting firms in the United States (the Accounting Firm). If the Accounting Firm determines
that the Total Payments are to be reduced under the preceding sentences, then the Company will
promptly give Executive notice to
that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. If a reduction in payments or
benefits constituting parachute payments is necessary so that the Total Payments equal the
reduced amount determined by the Accounting Firm, then the reduction shall occur in the following
order: (1) reduction of cash severance payments and (2) reduction of other benefits paid to the
Executive under this Agreement. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this
Subsection 6(d) shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive and shall be made within 10
business days of the date when an amount becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as
practicable following such determination, the Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit
of the Executive such amounts as are then due to him. The fees of the Accounting Firm shall be
paid by the Company.
4

the Company has requested the Executives cooperation
(f) Definition of Code. For all purposes under this Agreement, Code means the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(g) Definition of Good Reason. For all purposes under this Agreement, Good Reason exists
upon:
(i) a change in the Executives position with the Company that materially
reduces his level of authority or responsibility;
(ii) a reduction in the Executives base salary by more than
10% unless pursuant to a Company-wide salary reduction affecting all Executives
proportionately;
5
(iii) relocation of the Executives principal workplace by more than 50 miles;
(iv) a substantial reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities
and perquisites (including office space and location) available to the Executive
immediately prior to such reduction; or
(v) a material reduction in the kind or level of employee benefits to which the
Executive is entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that the
Executives overall benefits package is significantly reduced, unless such reduction
is made in connection with a reduction in the kind or level of employee benefits of
employees of the Company generally.

notice of such condition within 90 days after such condition comes into existence and the Company

addition, the Executives resignation must occur within 12 months after the condition comes into
existence.
(h) Definition of Permanent Disability. For all purposes under this Agreement, Permanent
Disability shall mean the Executives inability to perform the essential functions of the
Executives position, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least 120

Agreement will be made on the first regularly scheduled payroll date that occurs on or after 45
days after the Executives Separation, but only if the Executive has complied with the release and
other preconditions set forth in Subsection (a) (to the extent applicable). If the Company
determines that the Executive is a specified employee under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code
and the regulations thereunder at the time of his Separation, then (i) the severance payments under
Section 6, to the extent not exempt from Section 409A of the Code, shall be paid during the seventh
month after the Executives Separation and (ii) the amounts that otherwise would have been paid
during the first six months following the Executives Separation shall be paid in a lump sum when
such payments commence.
(j) Definition of Separation. For all purposes under this Employment Agreement,
Separation means a separation from service, as defined in the regulations under Section 409A of
the Code.
7. Non-Solicitation and Non-Disclosure.

continuing until the second anniversary of the date the Executives Employment terminated for any
reason, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly, personally or through
others, solicit or attempt to solicit (on the Executives own behalf or on behalf of any other
person or entity) either (i) the employment of any employee or consultant of the Company or any of
the Companys affiliates or (ii) the business of any customer of the Company or any of the

agrees that during his Employment with the Company, whether full-time or half-time and for a period
of 24 months after his last day of Employment with the Company, he will not directly or indirectly

any person, firm, corporation or business that engages in a Restricted Business in a Restricted
Territory as defined below. It is agreed that ownership of (i) no more than one percent (1%) of
the outstanding voting stock of a publicly traded corporation, or (ii) any stock he presently owns

system, product, or service marketed, sold or under development by the Company at the time
Executives Employment with the Company ends. Restricted Territory shall mean any state, county,
or locality in the United States in which the Company conducts business.
(d) Reasonable. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the time limitation on the
restrictions in this Section 7, combined with the geographic scope, is reasonable. Executive also
acknowledges and agrees that this provision is reasonably necessary for the protection of
Proprietary Information, that through his Employment he shall receive adequate consideration for
any loss of opportunity associated with the provisions herein, and that these provisions provide a
reasonable way of protecting the Companys business value which will be imparted to him. If any
restriction set forth in this Section 7 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of
activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over
the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be
enforceable.
(e) Non-Disclosure. The Executive has entered into a Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement with the Company, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
7
8. Successors.
(a) Companys Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor (whether direct

Agreement, the term Company shall include any successor to the Companys business and/or assets
which becomes bound by this Agreement.
(b) Employees Successors. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall

9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and
all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary.
(b) Modifications and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or
discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the
Executive and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Executive). No waiver by
either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement

(c) Whole Agreement. No other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or
written and whether express or implied) that are not expressly set forth in this Agreement have
been made or entered into by either party with respect to the subject matter hereof. This

related to tax liabilities arising from the Executives compensation.
8
(e) Choice of Law and Severability. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of New Jersey (except their provisions governing the choice of law). If any
provision of this Agreement becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
applicable jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such
provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to applicable law so
as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially
altering the intention of the parties, then such provision shall be stricken and the remainder of
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is
rendered illegal by any present or future statute, law, ordinance or regulation (collectively the
Law), then such provision shall be curtailed or limited only to the minimum extent necessary to
bring such provision into compliance with the Law. All the other terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without impairment or limitation.
(f) No Assignment. This Agreement and all rights and obligations of the Executive hereunder
are personal to the Executive and may not be transferred or assigned by the Executive at any time.
The Company may assign its rights under this Agreement to any entity that assumes the Companys
obligations hereunder in connection with any sale or transfer of all or a substantial portion of
the Companys assets to such entity.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the case of the
Company by its duly authorized officer, as of the day and year first above written.

Equityholders) shall be entitled to receive, in full consideration of the cancellation
of all Series A-1 Warrants held by such holder:
(A) a lump-sum cash payment on the Closing Date equal to (x) the product of
(1) the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock the holder of each Series
A-1 Warrant would be entitled to purchase upon the exercise of such Series A-1
Warrant and (2) the Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration
applicable to a share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, less (y) the product
of (1) the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock the holder of each Series

(iv) Each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of

or accrued by the Company in connection with the Merger on or prior to the Closing Date
shall be paid in cash from the Gross Closing Consideration on the Closing Date.
(ii) Verizon Payment. $3,500,000 of the Gross Closing Consideration
less the amount of Verizons Escrow Percentage of the Escrow Amount, in the form of

Closing Date to Verizon pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Cancellation Agreement dated
as of June 30, 2010 in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii) (the Verizon Consent Agreement) by and
between the Company and Verizon. In addition to the foregoing, Verizon shall also have the
right to receive its Escrow Percentage of any cash disbursements made from the Escrow Fund
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, as and when such
disbursements are made. For the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes under this Agreement
(i) the warrant held by Verizon to be cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Verizon
Consent Agreement shall not constitute a Company Warrant or Series A-1 Warrant and (ii)
Verizon shall not be a Company Warrantholder.
(iii) Warrant Cancellation Payments. Each Company Warrantholder shall be paid
from the Gross Closing Consideration, in the form of cash, the Closing Date Warrant
Cancellation Payments to which such Company Warrantholder is entitled under Section
2.01(b)(iii) from the Gross Closing Consideration on the Closing Date.
(iv) Working Capital.
(A) At least three (3) business days preceding the Closing Date, the Company
shall prepare and deliver to Parent a consolidated calculation of the estimated Net
Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing (the
Estimated Net Working Capital). The amount, if any, by which the
Estimated Net Working Capital is less than zero shall be referred to herein as the
Estimated Deficiency Amount. The Estimated Deficiency Amount shall
reduce the amount of Closing Equityholder Consideration in accordance with Section
2.01(c)(v) below.
10
(B) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Parent shall prepare and
deliver to the Stockholders Representative a balance sheet and a schedule (the
Final Net Working Capital Schedule) which includes a consolidated
calculation of the Net Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of
the Closing.
(C) During the thirty (30) day period after the receipt of the Final Net
Working Capital Schedule, the Stockholders Representative may notify Parent in
writing, of any objections to such Final Net Working Capital Schedule, setting
forth a reasonably specific and detailed description of the objections (each, an
Item of Working Capital Dispute); provided, however, that the only basis
on which the Stockholders Representative shall be permitted to submit an Item of
Working Capital Dispute is that such Item of Working Capital Dispute was not
prepared in accordance with this Section 2.01(c)(iv) or contains
mathematical or clerical errors. If the Stockholders Representative does not
deliver such notice within such thirty (30) day period, the Final Net Working
Capital Schedule shall be final, binding and conclusive upon
Parent, the Company, the Stockholders Representative, the Earn-Out
Consideration Recipients and the Closing Consideration Recipients.
(D) If the Stockholders Representative provides a timely notice of objection
to the proposed Final Net Working Capital Schedule pursuant to subsection (C)
above, Parent and the Stockholders Representative shall attempt to amicably
resolve any Item of Working Capital Dispute by the end of a thirty (30) day review
period but in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter. If the parties are
unable to resolve any difference within such period, they shall promptly (within
fifteen (15) days thereafter) and jointly appoint an Independent CPA to resolve
each Item of Working Capital Dispute and make any resulting adjustments to the
Final Net Working Capital Schedule. The scope of the work assignment for the
Independent CPA shall be limited to the resolution of any Item of Working Capital
Dispute not previously resolved by the parties and be based solely on whether each
such unresolved Item of Working Capital Dispute was prepared in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or whether each such Item of Working Capital Dispute
contains a mathematical or clerical error or errors. No Item of Working Capital
Dispute shall be resolved such that the final amount determined by the Independent
CPA is more favorable to the Parent than the calculation(s) presented in the Final
Net Working Capital Schedule delivered by the Parent to the Stockholders
Representative or more favorable to the Closing Consideration Recipients than the
calculation(s) presented in any unresolved Item of Working Capital Dispute
delivered by the Stockholders Representative. The resolution of each Item of
Working Capital Dispute by the Independent CPA and corresponding adjustments to the
Final Net Working Capital Schedule shall be final, binding and conclusive upon
Parent, the Company, the Stockholders Representative and the Closing Consideration
Recipients. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent CPA will be allocated
by the Independent CPA, in its sole discretion, between Parent, on the one hand,
and Closing Consideration Recipients, on the other hand, taking into account the
extent to which each Item of Working Capital Dispute was, or was not, resolved in
favor of the Closing Consideration Recipients.
11
(E) If the Final Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with
subsection (D) above) is less than zero (the amount of such deficiency, the
Final Deficiency Amount) and the absolute value of the Final Deficiency
Amount exceeds the absolute value of the Estimated Deficiency Amount, then Parent
shall be entitled to immediate recovery from the Escrow Fund in an amount equal to
(x) the difference between the Final Deficiency Amount and the Estimated Deficiency
Amount or (y) if the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than zero, the Final
Deficiency Amount.
(F) As used in this Section 2.01(c)(iv) and elsewhere in this

by the Agreement.

Company Transaction Expenses paid pursuant to subsection (c)(i) above, less (C) the
Estimated Deficiency Amount, if any, less (D) the Verizon Warrant Cancellation
Payment, shall be referred to herein as the Closing Equityholder Consideration.
The Closing Equityholder Consideration less the aggregate amount of the Closing
Date Warrant Cancellation Payments is referred to herein as the Stockholder Closing
Consideration, which shall be paid, in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(i)(B)
in the form of cash (the Closing Cash Consideration) and Closing Shares. The sum
of the Stockholder Closing Consideration plus the amount of the Verizon Warrant
Cancellation Payment plus the aggregate amount of the Closing Date Warrant
Cancellation Payments is referred to herein as the Net Closing Consideration.
(vi) Escrow Amount. An amount of the Net Closing Consideration in cash equal
to the Escrow Amount shall, on the Closing Date, be deposited by the Parent with the Escrow
Agent in an escrow fund (with any interest earned thereupon, the Escrow Fund) for
the purpose of satisfying claims by Parent and Parent Indemnified Parties under Section
2.01(c)(iv)(E) or Article IX, as applicable, to be held and disbursed by the Escrow

be made in accordance with the each Closing Consideration Recipients Escrow Percentage.

hereof and the Effective Time, any change in the capital stock of Parent shall occur by

Earn-Out Dispute shall be resolved such that the final amount determined by the Independent
CPA is more favorable to the Parent than the calculation(s) presented in the Final Earn-Out
Statement delivered by the Parent to the Stockholders Representative or more favorable to
the Earn-Out Consideration Recipients than the calculation(s) presented in any unresolved

Company, the Stockholders Representative and the Earn-Out Consideration Recipients. The
costs, fees and expenses of the Independent CPA will be allocated by the Independent CPA,
in its sole discretion, between Parent, on the one hand, and Earn-Out Consideration
Recipients, on the other hand, taking into account the extent to which each Item of
Earn-Out Dispute was, or was not, resolved in favor of the Earn-Out Consideration

accordance with a schedule of payments (the Earn-Out Consideration
Schedule) prepared by the Stockholders Representative in accordance with the
Final Earn-Out Statement and this Section 2.02(f)(iv) and delivered to
Parent prior to the Earn-Out Payment Date. The Earn-Out Consideration Schedule
shall set forth the name of each Earn-Out Consideration Recipient, that portion of
the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount payable to such party in cash and that number of
Earn-Out Shares to be issued to such party (subject to subsection (H)(iii) below).
For the purposes of the indemnification obligations of the Company Participants
under Article IX hereof, the delivery of the Earn-Out Consideration
Schedule to Parent shall constitute a representation (deemed made by the Company
under Section 3.04 hereof) that the allocation of the type and amount of
the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount among the Earn-Out
Consideration Recipients conforms with this Section 2.02(f)(iv), the
requirements of applicable Law, including the DGCL and the Companys Certificate of
Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Payment of
the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount is subject to Parents right of setoff to the extent
provided in Article IX of this Agreement.
17
(B) Parent shall pay to Verizon, in cash, an amount equal to (i) the Verizon
Earn-Out Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount (the
Verizon Earn-Out Payment).
(C) Parent shall pay to Mooreland, in cash, an amount equal to (i) the

shares of Parent Common Stock, valued at the Signing Price, in amounts as follows:
a. that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (A) the
product of 0.5 multiplied by the Net Earn-Out Amount, divided
by (B) the Signing Price, rounded to the nearest whole share (such
number, the Net Earn-Out Share Number and such shares, the
Earn-Out Shares).
b. that amount of cash equal to (A) the Net Earn-Out Amount less (B)
the product of the Net Earn-Out Share Number multiplied by the
Signing Price (such cash amount, the Net Earn-Out Cash Amount).
c. If, during the period between the date hereof and the Earn-Out
Payment Date, any change in the capital stock of Parent shall occur by
reason of reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination,
exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a
record date during such period or any similar event, the Signing Price
shall be correspondingly equitably adjusted to the extent appropriate to
reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification,
recapitalization, split, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares.
18
(E) Subject to this subsection (E), subsection (F) and subsection (H) below,
each Company Equityholder shall receive (x) that number of Earn-Out Shares equal to
(i) the Net Earn-Out Share Number, multiplied by (ii) such Company Equityholders
Equityholder Earn-Out
Percentage, rounded to the nearest whole share, and (y) that amount of cash
equal to (i) the Net Earn-Out Cash Amount, multiplied by (ii) such Company
Equityholders Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage, rounded to the nearest whole cent;
provided, however, in the event that the Remaining Preference
Amount is greater than zero, Parent shall first pay to the holders of shares of
Company Preferred Stock, 50% in cash and 50% in Earn-Out Shares (valued at the
Signing Price, and rounded to the nearest whole share), an amount equal to the
Remaining Preference Amount as follows:
a. Parent shall pay to each holder of a share of Series D Preferred
Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) a per
share amount equal to the Series D Preference Amount less the
Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration paid to such
Company Equityholder on account of such share of Series D Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i) (without regard to any
reduction in such amount on account of the Escrow Amount);
b. Parent shall pay to each holder of a share of Series C Preferred
Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) a per
share amount equal to the Series C Preference Amount less the
Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration paid to such
Company Equityholder on account of such share of Series C Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i) (without regard to any
reduction in such amount on account of the Escrow Amount);
c. Parent shall pay to each holder of a share of Series B Preferred
Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) a per
share amount equal to the Series B Preference Amount less the
Applicable Per Share Closing Equityholder Consideration paid to such

pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i) (without regard to any
reduction in such amount on account of the Escrow Amount); and
d. Parent shall pay to each holder of a share of Series A Preferred
Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) a per
share amount equal to the Series A Preference Amount less the

reduction in such amount on account of the Escrow Amount).
In the event that the value of the cash and Earn-Out Shares (valued at the
Signing Price) payable or issuable pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(iv)(E) are
less than the Remaining Preference Amount, the payments described in the foregoing
proviso shall be made to the holders of Company Preferred Stock ratably in
proportion to the applicable Preference Amounts of such series of Company Preferred
Stock. Any payments on account of the Remaining Preference Amount pursuant to this
subsection 2.02(f)(iv)(E) shall reduce the amount of cash payable and
Earn-Out Shares issuable to each Company Equityholder pursuant to subsection
2.02(f)(iv)(E) ratably in proportion to such Company Equityholders
Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage.
19
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any holder
of a share of Series C Preferred Stock (determined as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time) receive from the Net Earn-Out Amount more than (i) $0.4912 per
share of Series C Preferred Stock less (ii) the amount paid at the Closing
(including any amount comprising a portion of the Escrow Amount) in respect of each
share of Series C Preferred Stock (the Series C Cap), and in no event
shall any holder of a share of Series D Preferred Stock (determined as of
immediately prior to the Effective Time) receive from the Net Earn-Out Amount more
than (i) $0.7430 per share of Series D Preferred Stock less (ii) the amount
paid at the Closing (including any amount comprising a portion of the Escrow
Amount) in respect of each share of Series D Preferred Stock (the Series D
Cap). If the Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage of the Net Earn-Out Amount
otherwise payable to each holder of a share of Series C Preferred Stock or each
holder of Series D Preferred Stock, in each case, on account of such shares of
Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, would exceed the Series C
Cap or the Series D Cap, as applicable, then such amount, in each case, solely on
account of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, in
excess of the Series C Cap or the Series D Cap, as applicable, shall be
redistributed to the Company Equityholders in proportion to the amount their
respective Equityholder Earn-Out Percentages bears to the Equityholder Earn-Out
Percentages of all Company Equityholders (excluding for this purpose the portion of
any Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage attributable to shares of Series C Preferred
Stock or Series D Preferred Stock that have received an amount of the Net Earn-Out
Amount equal to their Series C Cap or Series D Cap, respectively).
(F) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Company Optionholder
shall be entitled to receive any payments, Earn-Out Shares or other amounts
pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(iv)(E) on account of Company Options held by
such Company Optionholder immediately prior to the Effective Time unless and until
such time as the Common Stock Equivalent Earn-Out Amount exceeds the Threshold
Amount attributable to the Company Options held by such Company Optionholder
immediately prior to the Effective Time, at which point such Company
Optionholder shall only be entitled to receive an amount equal to (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Company Options held by such
Company Optionholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by
(ii) the amount by which the Common Stock Equivalent Earn-Out Amount exceeds the
Threshold Amount attributable to such Company Options outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time. To the extent that a Company Optionholder held Company
Options with more than one associated Threshold Amount, the foregoing calculations
shall be made on a Company Option-by-Company Option basis. The difference between
each Company Optionholders Equityholder Earn-Out Percentage of the Net Earn-Out
Amount and the amount of cash or value of Earn-Out Shares payable or issuable under
this Section 2.02(f)(iv)(F) shall be redistributed to the Company
Stockholders and Company Warrantholders in proportion to the amount their
respective Equityholder Earn-Out Percentages bears to the Equityholder Earn-Out
Percentages of all Company Stockholders and Company Warrantholders.
20
(G) Subject to subsection (H) below, each Earn-Out Eligible Employee shall
receive (x) that number of Earn-Out Shares equal to (i) the Net Earn-Out Share

to (i) the Net Earn-Out Cash Amount, multiplied by (ii) such Earn-Out Eligible
Employees Employee Earn-Out, rounded to the nearest whole cent.
(H) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any Earn-Out Eligible
Employee that is no longer an employee of the Parent or any subsidiary thereof as
of the Earn-Out Payment Date as a result of his or her voluntary resignation or
Termination for Cause shall not be entitled to receive any payments pursuant to
this Section 2.02 and, in lieu thereof, such payments shall be paid by
Parent to the Earn-Out Eligible Employees who remain employees of the Parent or any
subsidiary thereof as of the Earn-Out Payment Date in proportion to the amount
their respective Employee Earn-Out Percentage bears to the Employee Earn-Out
Percentage of all Earn-Out Eligible Employees who remain employees of the Parent or
any subsidiary thereof as of the Earn-Out Payment Date (Employee Residual
Sharing Percentage), (ii) any Earn-Out Eligible Employee that is no longer an
employee of the Parent or any subsidiary thereof as of the Earn-Out Payment Date as
a result of his or her termination by the Company other than a Termination for
Cause shall only be entitled to receive a pro rated portion of the Aggregate
Earn-Out Amount otherwise payable to such Earn-Out Eligible Employee based upon the
actual number of calendar days that such Earn-Out Eligible Employee was an employee
of the Parent or any subsidiary during the Earn-Out Period (and the remainder of
such amount shall be distributed to the Earn-Out Eligible Employees who remain
employees of the Parent or
any subsidiary thereof as of the Earn-Out Payment Date in proportion to their
respective Employee Residual Sharing Percentages), and (iii) any Earn-Out
Consideration Recipient that (x) is not an Accredited Investor or (y) has not
executed and delivered to Parent, no later than ninety (90) days subsequent to the
Effective Time (or such other time as requested by Parent following any change to
the legal qualifications for being an Accredited Investor), an Investment
Representation Letter representing to such partys status as an Accredited
Investor, shall not be issued any Earn-Out Shares and, in lieu thereof, shall
receive that amount of cash equal to such number of Earn-Out Shares such person was
otherwise entitled to receive, multiplied by the Signing Price.
(g) Continuity of Obligations. In the event that, during the Earn-Out Period, there
is consummated a transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which (i) all or
substantially all of the assets used in the Business of the Company are sold or transferred to a
non-affiliate of Parent, or (ii) Parent, together with the affiliates thereof, ceases to hold,
directly or indirectly, a majority of the equity interests of the Surviving Corporation (whether by
merger, consolidation, acquisition of equity interests or all or substantially all of the assets of
the Surviving Corporation or otherwise, a Divestiture), proper provision shall be made so
that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume the
obligations set forth in this Section 2.02 and agree to be bound by the terms hereof to the
same extent as Parent.
21
(h) Conduct of Business. Parent acknowledges that the possibility of receiving all or
a portion of the amount provided for in this Section 2.02 comprises a material inducement
for the Company and Earn-Out Consideration Recipients to enter into this Agreement and consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby. During the Earn-Out Period, Parent agrees and covenants that
Parent shall (A) maintain true, complete and accurate books and records relating to the subject
matter of this Section 2.02, which it shall make available for review by the Stockholders
Representative and its Representatives to the extent provided for, and on the terms and conditions
set forth in, Section 2.02(e) hereof, (B) operate the Business of the Company in good faith
and not in a manner intended to reduce the amount of the Aggregate Earn-Out Amount and (C) operate
the Business of the Company in the ordinary course of business designed to achieve an Operating
Margin of at least the Target Operating Margin; provided, however, that if the Operating Margin for
any individual fiscal quarter is below the Target Operating Margin, or is reasonably forecasted
(such reasonableness to be evaluated in the context of the prior results of the operation of the
Business of the Company by Parent and by the Company prior to the Effective Time, and the accuracy
of prospective forecasts of such results) by the general manager in charge of the operation of the
Business of the Company (the GM, it being agreed that the individual indicated with a
on Schedule 7.02(f) shall be the GM for so long as such individual is employed by Parent)
to be below the Target Operating Margin, Parents chief executive officer and/or
president (the CEO) and the GM will work together to identify cost (or revenue)
adjustments anticipated to result in an Operating Margin of at least the Target Operating Margin
for future fiscal quarters unless such parties collectively agree that not making any such
adjustments is in the best interest of Parent; provided, further that if such parties are
unable to agree upon such adjustments after three (3) days of good faith discussions, Parent
shall no longer be obligated to operate the Business of the Company in the ordinary course of
business and the CEO shall be able to make any adjustments with respect to the Business of the
Company as reasonably determined by the CEO to be necessary or desirable to accomplish the goal of
achieving an Operating Margin of at least the Target Operating Margin. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, during any one fiscal quarter during the Earn-Out Period in which the Operating Margin
is below the Target Operating Margin, the CEO and the GM will work together to identify cost (or
revenue) adjustments anticipated to result in an Operating Margin of the Target Operating Margin or
greater and, provided that the Operating Margin for such fiscal quarter is at least equal to the
product of 0.6 and the Target Operating Margin, the Stockholders Representative may request in
writing to Parent that the fact that the Operating Margin for such fiscal quarter is below the
Target Operating Margin shall not release Parent from the obligations to operate the Business of
the Company in the ordinary course of business pursuant to clause (C) above (it being understood
that such request may only be made in respect of a single fiscal quarter during the Earn-Out
Period).
22
SECTION 2.03 Exchange of Certificates; Closing Payments.
(a) Exchange Procedures.
(i) From and after the Effective Time, a bank or trust company designated by Parent,
and reasonably acceptable to the Stockholders Representative, shall act as exchange agent
(the Exchange Agent) in effecting the exchange of the certificates which
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock
(Company Share Certificates) and which were converted into the right to receive
Closing Cash Consideration or Closing Shares comprising the Transaction Consideration
described in Section 2.01(b)(i). Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to make
available to the Stockholders Representative, at least five (5) days prior to the Closing
Date, a letter of transmittal (the Letter of Transmittal) in a form approved by
Parent and the Company, including instructions for use in surrendering such Company Share
Certificates and receiving the applicable portion of the Transaction Consideration. As
promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than three (3)
business days following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail a Letter of
Transmittal to each record holder of Company Stock who has not previously submitted a
Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent.
(ii) On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule of payments
(the Closing Consideration Schedule) prepared in accordance with Section
2.01 above and setting forth the name of each Closing Consideration Recipient, the
amount of Net Closing Consideration payable on the Closing Date to such party in the form
of cash, the number of Closing Shares to be issued to such party and such partys Escrow
Percentage.
(iii) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall transfer to the Exchange Agent
by direct wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the portion of
the Gross Closing Consideration to be paid in cash less the Estimated Deficiency Amount and
shall cause to be made by the Exchange Agent, the following payments (collectively, the
Closing Payments) by direct wire transfer of immediately available funds: (A) to
the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the Escrow Amount, to be held in an escrow account, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (B) to the payees
thereof, the Company Transaction Expenses to be paid as of the Closing Date, as set forth
on Schedule 2.01(a)(ix) hereof (as updated to include final amounts for previously
estimated items and additional items constituting Company Transaction Expenses and not set
forth on such schedule), (C) to Verizon, the Verizon Warrant Cancellation Payment, as set
forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule and (D) to the Company Warrantholders, the
Closing Date Warrant Cancellation Payments (less the Company Warrantholders aggregate
Escrow Percentage of the Escrow Amount), as set forth on the Closing Consideration
Schedule. The balance of such funds transferred by Parent to the Exchange Agent shall be
distributed by the Exchange Agent to the holders of Company Stock as the cash portion of
Stockholder Closing Consideration (less the Company Stockholders aggregate Escrow
Percentage of the Escrow Amount) in accordance with the terms hereof as set forth on the
Closing Consideration Schedule.
23
(iv) Upon the surrender of each Company Share Certificate for cancellation to the
Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, (A) Parent shall
cause to be issued to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in exchange therefor a
separate stock certificate representing the number of Closing Shares, if any, to be issued
to such Company Stockholder and (B) the Exchange Agent shall pay to the holder of such
Company Share Certificate in exchange therefor the amount of Stockholder Closing
Consideration to be paid to such Company Stockholder in cash in accordance with Section
2.01(b)(i)(A)(i), and the Company Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be
cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any holder of Company Stock who
has surrendered each of its Company Share Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange
Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, at least two (2) days
prior to the Closing Date, within two (2) business days following the Closing Date, (X)
Parent shall cause to be issued to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in exchange
therefor a separate stock certificate or evidence representing the number of Closing
Shares, if any, to be issued to such Company Stockholder and (Y) the Exchange Agent shall
pay to the holder of such Company Share Certificate in exchange therefor the amount of
Stockholder Closing Consideration to be paid to such Company Stockholder in cash in
accordance with Section 2.01(b)(i)(A)(i).
(v) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock that is not
registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable Closing Shares may be
issued to a person other than the person in
whose name the Company Share Certificate so surrendered is registered, if the Company
Share Certificate representing such shares of Company Stock is presented to Parent or the
Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer
and evidence that (A) the shares are transferable and (B) any applicable stock transfer
taxes have been paid.
(vi) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article II, each Company Share
Certificate shall, subject to appraisal rights under the DGCL (and if the Company is
subject to Section 2115 of the California Corporations Code, Chapter 13 of the
California Corporations Code) and Section 2.05, be deemed at any time after the
Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the portion of the
Transaction Consideration payable in respect of the Company Stock represented by such
Company Share Certificate pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i) hereof, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(b) Escrow Fund. Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, the Stockholders
Representative and Parent shall enter into an escrow agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to
Parent, Company and the Stockholders Representative (the Escrow Agreement) with an
escrow agent jointly selected by Parent and the Company (the Escrow Agent). At the
Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent shall deposit the Escrow
Amount into an escrow account, which account is to be managed by the Escrow Agent. Distributions
of any Escrow Amount from the Escrow Fund shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the
Escrow Agreement. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company
Stockholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all the arrangements relating
thereto, including, without limitation, the placement of the Escrow Amount in escrow and the
appointment of the Stockholders Representative. Parent shall be treated as the owner of the
Escrow Fund, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the
Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Parent pursuant to Section
468B(g) of the
24
Code
and Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8. If and to the extent
any amount of the Escrow Fund is actually distributed to the holders of Company Stock immediately
prior to the Closing, interest may be imputed on such amount, as required by Section 483 or
1274 of the Code. In no event shall the total amount of the Escrow Fund and any interest
and earnings earned thereon paid to the Company Equityholders immediately prior to the Closing
under this Agreement exceed $4,500,000. The preceding sentence is intended to ensure that the
right of the Company Equityholders immediately prior to the Closing to the Escrow Fund and any
interest and earnings earned thereon is not treated as a contingent payment without a stated
maximum selling price under Section 453 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder. All parties hereto shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03 (b)(i).
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Parent Shares. No dividends or other
distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Closing Shares with a
record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Share
Certificate with respect to the Closing Shares
represented thereby until the holder of such Company Share Certificate shall surrender such
Company Share Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.03.
(d) No Further Rights in Company Stock. The Transaction Consideration provided for in
Section 2.01(b)(i) upon the conversion of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued or payable in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such shares of Company Stock.
(e) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion and exchange of
Company Share Certificates, and no holder of Company Share Certificates shall be entitled to
receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock.
(f) No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any
holder of shares of Company Stock for any such shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or
distributions with respect thereto) or cash properly and legally delivered to a public official
pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law (as defined in Section 3.06(a)).
(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and
Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant
to this Agreement to any Company Participants such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold
with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax (as defined in Section
3.15(bb)) Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, 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 person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been
paid. The parties make no representations or warranties to any Company Participant regarding the
tax treatment of the Merger, or any of the tax consequences to the Company or any Company
Participant of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby.
25
(h) Lost Certificates. If any Company Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen
or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company
Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the
execution by such person of an indemnity agreement against any claim that may be made against it or
Parent with respect to such Company Share Certificate, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Share Certificate, the applicable Closing Cash
Consideration or Closing Shares (and dividends or other distributions on Closing Shares pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)) to which such person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this
Article II.
(i) Return of Transaction Consideration. Any portion of the Transaction Consideration
that remains unclaimed by the former stockholders of the Company for nine (9) months after the end
of the Earn-Out Period shall be delivered to
Parent. Any former stockholder of the Company that has not complied with this Section
2.03 prior to the end of such nine (9) month period shall thereafter look only to the Parent
(subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) but only as a general creditor
thereof for payment of its claim for the Transaction Consideration. If any Company Share
Certificates shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date that such unclaimed
Transaction Consideration would otherwise become subject to any abandoned property, escheat or
similar Law, any unclaimed Transaction Consideration payable with respect to such Company Share
Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free
and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
SECTION 2.04 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of
the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of
Company Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the
holders of certificates representing shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Stock, except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.
SECTION 2.05 Dissenting Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock
that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who
have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company Stock in accordance with
the DGCL (and, if the Company is subject to Section 2115 of the California Corporations
Code, such rights as may be granted to such persons in Chapter 13 of the California Corporations
Code) (collectively, the Dissenting Shares) shall not be converted into or represent the
right to receive the applicable portion of the Transaction Consideration under Sections
2.01 or 2.02. Such stockholders shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted
by the DGCL (and, if the Company is subject to Section 2115 of the California Corporations
Code, such rights as may be granted to such persons in Chapter 13 of the California Corporations
Code) to a holder of Dissenting Shares, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or
effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL (or, if applicable,
Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code). All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who
shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to
appraisal of such shares of Company Stock under the DGCL (or, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the
California Corporations Code) shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have
become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable portion of
the Transaction Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon the surrender, in the manner
provided in Section 2.03, of the corresponding Company Share Certificate, assuming the full
amount of Closing Equityholder Consideration due in respect of such Company Share Certificate was
comprised of Closing Cash Consideration.
26
(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by
the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the
DGCL (or, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code) and received by the
Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to
demands for appraisal under the DGCL (or, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the California Corporations
Code). The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment
with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
SECTION 2.06 Notices.
(a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure, promptly after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the delivery of the Written Consent, which shall constitute all
requisite approvals by holders of Company Stock of the Agreement and the Merger.
(b) The Company shall deliver the Preliminary Closing Consideration Schedule no less than
three (3) days prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Promptly, but in no event later than three (3) business days after the date of the Written
Consent, the Company shall mail notice to the Company Stockholders of the approval by the Company
Stockholders of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby,
pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, including Section
228(e), and the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws (the Stockholder
Notices).
(d) Promptly, but in no event later than seven (7) business days after the date of the Written
Consent, the Company shall provide to each Company Stockholder whose consent was not obtained a
copy of the notice required pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and, if applicable,
Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code) informing them that appraisal rights are available
for their shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the
California Corporations Code) along with such other information as required by Section 262
of the DGCL and applicable Law (the Section 262 Notice).
(e) The Section 262 Notice, including any amendments or supplements thereto, shall be subject
to review and approval by Parent.
(f) Each party shall provide to the other any information for inclusion in preparation for any
Written Consent or Stockholder Notices that may be required by Law and that is reasonably requested
by the other party.
27

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that the statements
contained in this Article III are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement (except
for any such representation and warranty that expressly is made as of a specific date, which such
representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such date), subject to such
qualifications as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and
Merger Sub concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the Company Disclosure
Schedule). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged according to specific sections
in this Article III and shall provide exceptions to, or otherwise qualify in reasonable
detail, the corresponding section in this Article III and any other section hereof where it
is clear and readily apparent, upon a reading of such disclosure without any independent knowledge
on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed, that the disclosure would apply to such
other section.
SECTION 3.01 Organization and Qualification. The Company 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 own, lease and otherwise hold and operate its
properties and other assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company
is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in
each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the
nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to
be so qualified or licensed and in good standing has not had, and would not reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below).
Section 3.01 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth each jurisdiction where the
Company is qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation and each other jurisdiction in which the
Company owns, uses, licenses or leases real property or has employees or engages independent

circumstance or effect (regardless of whether or not such events, changes, circumstances or effects
are inconsistent with the representations or warranties made by the Company and its Subsidiaries in
this Agreement) that is, or would reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate,
materially adverse to the business, operations, financial condition, properties, assets (tangible
or intangible), liabilities, capitalization or results of operations of the Company and the
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for any such events, changes, circumstances or effects
resulting from or arising in connection with (i) any changes in general economic, market or
business conditions that do not disproportionately impact the Company relative to other
participants in the Companys industry, (ii) any changes or events affecting the industry in which
the Company operates that do not disproportionately impact the Company relative to other
participants in the Companys industry, (iii) changes in any applicable Law or U.S. GAAP or
international accounting standards that do not disproportionately impact the Company relative to
other participants in Companys industry, (iv) changes caused by hostilities, acts of terrorism or
war, or any material escalation of any such hostilities, acts of terrorism or war existing on the
date hereof that do not disproportionately impact the Company relative to other participants in
Companys industry, (v) the announcement, negotiation, existence or performance of this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including the loss or departure of employees or adverse developments in relationships with
customers, suppliers, distributors, or other business partners), but not including, for the
avoidance of doubt, any breach or violation of a contract resulting from the Companys execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or (vi) the taking of any action required by this Agreement or that an authorized
representative of Parent has requested, or expressly consented to, in writing.

each corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other entity in which
the Company has or has the right to acquire, directly or indirectly, an equity interest
representing 50% or more of the capital stock thereof or other equity interests therein or has

outstanding equity securities of each Subsidiary and a list of the holders thereof; (iii) the
jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary; (iv) the name of the officers and directors of

(b) Each Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each Subsidiary is duly qualified or

providing for the issuance, disposition or acquisition of any capital stock of any Subsidiary.
There are no outstanding stock appreciation, phantom stock or similar rights with respect to any
Subsidiary. There are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or understandings with respect
to the voting of any capital stock of any Subsidiary.
29
(c) The Company does not control, directly or indirectly, or have any direct or indirect

company, joint venture, trust or other business association which is not a Subsidiary. There are

contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 3.04(b) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, neither the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor
any action taken or to be taken by Company in connection with such transactions, will result in (y)
any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, whether or not contingent on the occurrence of any
event after consummation of the Merger, in favor of any optionee under any Company Option; or (z)
any additional benefits for any
optionee under any Company Option. Each Company Option outstanding as of immediately prior to

amended to date, or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license,
permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party,

Capital;
(vii) any claims for indemnification or expense reimbursement by or in respect of any

each case, in excess of the amounts, if any, recoverable under the D&O Tail Policy; or
(viii) defending any third-party claim alleging the occurrence of facts or

claims by third parties.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except with respect

time as all such indemnifiable Losses shall aggregate to more than $250,000, after which
time the Company Participants shall be liable in full for all indemnifiable Losses

respect to Special Losses arising under Section 9.02(c)(3) above shall not exceed

restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which the Parent Indemnified Parties have, or
might have, at Law, in equity or otherwise, based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation
or misconduct.
79
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to any
indemnity under Section 9.02(a) relating to any breach of a representation or warranty in

to Taxes shall be limited to Taxes attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) of the
Company or any Subsidiary ending on or prior to the Closing Date.
SECTION 9.03 Indemnification of Stockholder Indemnified Parties. After the Effective Time, each Company Participant and its affiliates, officers, directors,

(a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub in
the Acquisition Documents; and
(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub in the Acquisition
Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification payment by Parent with respect to any
indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable under Section 9.03 and arising out of or resulting
from the causes enumerated in Section 9.03 shall be payable until such time as all such
indemnifiable Losses shall aggregate to more than $250,000, after which time Parent shall be liable

damages, claims, costs, expenses, fines, fees, deficiencies, interest, awards, judgments, amounts
paid in settlement and penalties (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses and
other costs of defending, investigating or settling claims) actually incurred, paid, accrued or
sustained by an Indemnified Party; provided, however, an Indemnifying Party shall
not be liable under this Article IX for any (i) Losses relating to any matter to the extent
that there is included in the Reference Balance Sheet a specific liability or reserve relating to
such specifically identified matter; or (ii) Losses that are for consequential, special,
incidental, indirect or punitive damages.
(b) The amount of any Losses payable under this Article IX by an Indemnifying Party
shall be reduced by (i) amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance
policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) the Tax Benefits
actually realized by the Indemnified Party or the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries (in
the case of a Parent Indemnified Party) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses.
If an Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any
other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment by
the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party
for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing
such indemnification payment in the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified
Party in collecting such amount. Tax Benefit shall mean any refund, credit, or
other reduction in otherwise required Tax payments in the year in which the Loss occurs or the
immediately succeeding taxable year.
80
(c) No Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Losses
arising from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth herein (and
the amount of any Losses incurred in respect of such breach shall not be included in the
calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent the amount of
such specific Loss is included and properly accounted for in the calculation of the Final Net
Working Capital.
SECTION 9.05 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) For purposes of this Section 9.05, a party against which indemnification may be
sought is referred to as the Indemnifying Party and the party that may be entitled to
indemnification is referred to as the Indemnified Party.
(b) The obligations and liabilities of Indemnifying Parties under this Article IX with
respect to Losses arising from actual or threatened claims or demands by any third party which are
subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article IX (Third Party
Claims) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and
conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim promptly following the
receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the
failure to provide such notice shall not release an Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations
under this Article IX except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced by such failure. The notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts
known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification claim, and the amount or good
faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third
Party Claim at its own expense and through counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party) if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the
Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume
the defense of the Third Party Claim if (i) any such claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of
monetary losses or damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief, (ii) the Indemnifying Party
fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of the adequacy of the Escrow Fund
to provide indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement with respect to such proceeding, (iii) there is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of
interest that would make it inappropriate (in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its
reasonable discretion) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party, or (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the
Third Party Claim may establish (in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Indemnified
Party) a precedential custom or practice adverse to the business interests of the Indemnified Party
81
or would increase the Tax liability of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes
the defense of a Third Party Claim, it will conduct the defense actively, diligently and at its own
expense, and it will hold all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Losses caused by or
arising out of any settlement thereof, subject to the limitations on indemnifications set forth in
Article IX. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such
defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Partys expense, all
witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Partys possession or
under the Indemnified Partys control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the
Indemnifying Party. Except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be
unreasonably withheld), the Indemnifying Party will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim,
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnified Party by the third party of a release from
all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no
finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate
thereof), (B) any liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof) or (C)
any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims of a similar nature
that may be made by the same third party against the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof);
or (iii) which exceeds the then current value of the Escrow Fund.
(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of an
Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party had the right to
assume pursuant to Section 9.05(c), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or prosecute such claim in any manner as it may
reasonably deem appropriate and may settle such claim after giving written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party, on such terms as such Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the
Indemnified Party may seek prompt indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article IX
for any Losses incurred in connection with such settlement. If no settlement of such Third Party
Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt indemnification pursuant to the terms of this
Article IX for any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim.
Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be
promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP). If the Indemnifying
Party does not elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim which it has the right to assume
hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do so.
(e) In the event that the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the
Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.05(c), the
Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or
prosecute such claim and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate after giving
written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may seek prompt
indemnification pursuant to the terms
of this Article IX for any Losses incurred in connection with such judgment or
settlement. In such case, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim
actively and diligently, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in
such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Partys expense, all
such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Partys possession or under
the Indemnifying Partys control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified
Party. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt
indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article IX for any Losses arising out of any
judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as suffered, incurred or accrued (in
accordance with U.S. GAAP).
82
(f) The procedures relating to indemnification claims are further governed, where applicable,
by the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
(g) Following the Closing, no Company Participant shall have any right of indemnification,
contribution or subrogation against the Company with respect to any indemnification made by or on
behalf of any Company Participant under Section 9.02 if the Merger and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.
SECTION 9.06 Stockholders Representative.
(a) John Malloy (such person and any successor or successors being the Stockholders
Representative) shall act as the representative of the Company Participants, and shall be

claims (including the settlement thereof) made by a Parent Indemnified Party or a Stockholder
Indemnified Party (as the case may be) for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX and
with respect to any actions to be taken by the Stockholders Representative pursuant to the terms
of the Escrow Agreement (including, without limitation, the exercise of the power to (i) authorize

by a Parent Indemnified Party, (ii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of,

actions necessary in the judgment of the Stockholders Representative for the accomplishment of the
foregoing). In all matters relating to this Article IX, the Stockholders Representative
shall be the only party entitled to assert the rights of the Company Participants, and the
Stockholders Representative shall perform all of the obligations of the Company Participants
hereunder. The Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on all statements,
representations and decisions of the Stockholders Representative. The Stockholders
Representative may resign at any time upon ten (10) days prior notice to Parent, at which
time the holders of a majority of the shares of Company Stock immediately prior to the
Effective Time (voting on an as-converted basis) shall designate a replacement Stockholders
Representative.
(b) The Company Participants shall be bound by all actions taken by the Stockholders
Representative in his, her or its capacity thereof, except for any action that conflicts with the
limitations set forth in subsection (d) below. The Stockholders Representative shall at all times
act in his or her capacity as Stockholders Representative in a manner that the Stockholders
Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Participants. Neither the
Stockholders Representative nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, if any, shall
be liable to any person for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except in the case of its gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct. The Stockholders Representative may consult with legal counsel,
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it. The Stockholders Representative
shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. As to any matters
not expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholders
Representative shall not exercise any discretion or take any action.

Representative from and against such Company Participants ratable share of any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Stockholders
Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Stockholders Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, other than such
liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising out of or resulting from the
Stockholders Representatives gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Escrow Agreement, the
Stockholders Representative is not authorized to, and shall not, accept on behalf of any Company
Participant any Transaction Consideration to which such Company Participant is entitled under this
Agreement and the Stockholders Representative shall not in any manner exercise, or seek to
exercise, any voting power whatsoever with respect to shares of capital stock of the Company or
Parent now or hereafter owned of record or beneficially by any Company Participant unless the
Stockholders Representative is expressly authorized to do so in a writing signed by such Company
