Section 4.3. Exchange of Company Stock for Merger Consideration.

Parent shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent.

-15-

(ii) The Merger Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent in (A) direct obligations of the United States of America, (B) obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and interest or (C) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, a division of McGraw Hill Financial, or a combination thereof, as directed by and for the benefit of Parent; provided, however, that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to the holders of Company Stock following completion of the Merger pursuant to this Article IV, and Parent shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Merger Fund includes at all times cash sufficient to satisfy Parent’s obligation under this Article IV. Any and all interest and other income earned on the Merger Fund shall promptly be paid to Parent.

(iii) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than five Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail (and to make available for collection by hand) to each Holder (A) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which letter is incorporated by reference herein, which includes an acknowledgement of the Holder of the cancellation of all the Company Shares held by such Holder in exchange for the right to receive consideration payable under Section 4.1, in each case subject to Section 4.2(e), and which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the portion of the Total Merger Consideration payable to such Holder. The Letter of Transmittal shall include a customary waiver and release in favor of the Company and the Holders, pursuant to which each Holder executes a full and unconditional release regarding any and all claims as a stockholder, including the calculation of the Total Merger Consideration, which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Company may reasonably agree, as a condition to receiving the portion of the Total Merger Consideration payable to such Holder.

(iv) Upon (A) surrender to the Paying Agent of Certificates for cancellation, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, or (B) compliance with the reasonable procedures established by the Paying Agent for delivery of Book-Entry Shares and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, in cash, the portion of the Total Merger Consideration payable to such Holder in respect thereof in the form of a check to be mailed within three Business Days of receipt by the Paying Agent of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and the Certificates so surrendered and Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or due transfer of the Book-Entry Shares. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.

-16-

(v) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the relevant portion of the Total Merger Consideration in respect of the applicable shares of Company Stock may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificates so surrendered or the Book-Entry Shares so transferred are registered if such Certificates shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Shares shall be properly transferred and, in each case, the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the applicable portion of the Total Merger Consideration in respect thereof or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(b) Closing of 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 Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be marked cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article IV.

(c) Termination of Merger Fund. Any portion of the Merger Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and other eligible Persons in accordance with this Article IV following 12 months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any such holder who has not previously complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent, and Parent shall remain liable, for payment of any such holder’s claim for their portion of the Total Merger Consideration.

In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay the portion of the Total Merger Consideration due to such Person in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate. Delivery of such affidavit and the posting of such bond shall be deemed delivery of a Certificate with respect to the relevant Company Common Stock for purposes of this Article IV.

(e) Withholding Taxes. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, each Company Subsidiary and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the Total Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts, as are required to be deducted and withheld under any provision of any Applicable Law (including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as any other domestic or foreign Applicable Law), including without limitation (x) U.S. federal withholding Taxes required under Section 1445 of the Code to the extent the Company does not deliver to Parent the certificate required under Section 8.14 and (y) the Indian Withholding Tax. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the relevant Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

(f) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Merger Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

-17-

(g) No Other Rights. Until surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4.3, each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Merger Consideration and Holdback Amount, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been authorized by the Company and that remain unpaid at the Effective Time. The applicable portion of the Total Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of any Certificate or the transfer of any Book-Entry Share shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and Company Stock formerly represented thereby, except with respect to any payment due pursuant to a Holdback.

Section 4.4. Dissenter’s Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into, and the Holders of Dissenting Shares shall have no right to receive, any portion of the Total Merger Consideration or Holdback Amount as provided in Section 4.1, unless and until such Holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses its dissenter’s rights to payment thereunder pursuant to the NRS. Any Dissenting Shares, the Holder of which fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses its dissenter’s rights with respect to its Dissenting Shares pursuant to the terms of NRS 92A.300 through 92A.500, shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive their allocable portion of the Total Merger Consideration and Holdback Amount (without interest thereon) as provided in Section 4.1, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in Section 4.3 of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(b) Any Dissenting Shares shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the NRS, less any applicable Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 4.3(e) with respect to such payment (and, at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such Holders shall cease to have any other right with respect thereto).

(c) The Company shall notify Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable of any demands for payment received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for payment under the NRS. Prior to the Effective Time, except as required by Applicable Law, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for payment in accordance with the NRS, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

-18-

Section 4.5. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that, at any time during the period from the date hereof to immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company, notwithstanding Section 7.1(e), changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Company Convertible Preferred Stock, then the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

-56-

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, but not after, in response to an Intervening Event, if and only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change, provided that (i) the Company has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, and has specified in reasonable detail the potential reasons therefor, (ii) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause such Company Board to not make such Adverse Recommendation Change and (iii) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, provided that if there is any material change to the facts and circumstances associated with an Intervening Event, the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 8.3(f), and thereafter, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, provided further that the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 8.3.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company or the Company Board shall be permitted to comply with Rule 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(b) For purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate (other than benefits under defined benefit pension plans or retiree welfare plans, if any) under the benefit plans of Parent or its Affiliates (as applicable) providing benefits to Company Employees after the Closing (the “New Plans”) and for purposes of level of benefits with respect to vacation benefits under New Plans, each Company Employee in such plans shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their predecessors prior to the Closing, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Employee Program in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision, disability, life insurance and/or other welfare benefits to any Company Employee (collectively, the “New Welfare Plans”), (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Welfare Plans to the extent coverage under any such New Welfare Plan replaces coverage under any Old Plan, except to the extent such waiting period would have applied to such Company Employee under the corresponding Old Plan, and (ii) Parent shall cause (A) all pre-existing conditions, exclusions or limitations, eligibility waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements of such New Welfare Plans to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents (to the extent such conditions, exclusions, limitations, periods and requirements were waived or satisfied as of immediately prior to the Closing under comparable Old Plans) and (B) any eligible expenses incurred by each Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Welfare Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Welfare Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-payment, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Welfare Plan.

(c) No later than five Business Days prior to its distribution, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of any communication intended to be made to the Company Employees regarding the compensation, benefits or other treatment they will receive in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such communication.

Section 8.7. Company Indemnification Provisions.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any director, officer, trustee, employee or agent may have under any employment or indemnification agreement or under the Company’s Organizational Documents, or, if applicable, similar organizational documents or agreements of any of the Company Subsidiaries, from and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent agrees that it shall cause the Surviving Corporation to (i) indemnify and hold harmless each person who was, is at the date of this Agreement or becomes during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date (A) a director or officer of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or (B) a director, officer or trustee of another entity (but only to the extent that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), in each case, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Applicable Law, as now or hereafter in effect, in connection with any Claim and any judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) resulting therefrom and (ii) promptly pay on behalf of or, within 10 Business Days after any request for advancement, advance to each of the Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Applicable Law, as now or hereafter in effect, any expenses incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating in any Claim in advance of the final disposition of such Claim, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the Indemnified Party of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification or advancement, in each case, without the requirement of any bond or other security; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a final and non-appealable judicial determination that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification. The indemnification and advancement obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 8.7(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the consideration, approval and adoption thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith and any Claim relating thereto), and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a person who continues to be or who has ceased to be (A) a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or (B) a director, officer or trustee of another entity (but only to the extent that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company), and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim in respect of which indemnification has been or would reasonably be expected to be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Claim and does not include an admission of fault or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party, or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents thereto. Parent shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitation of director, officer and employee liability that are no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than those set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions thereafter shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Parties.

-59-

(b) The Company may obtain, prior to the Effective Time, a single payment, run-off policy or policies of directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance covering the Persons currently covered by the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ and/or fiduciary liability insurance policies for claims arising in respect of actual or alleged errors, misstatements, acts, omissions or any matter claimed against any such Person occurring prior to the Effective Time (but only in respect thereof) in amount and scope no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the Company’s existing policies, from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to such insurance, such policy or policies to become effective at the Effective Time and remain in effect for a period of six years following the Effective Time; provided, however, that the premium for such run-off policy or policies shall not exceed 200% of the aggregate annual amounts currently paid by the Company to maintain its existing directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance policies. If such run-off policy or policies shall have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy or policies to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation. If the Company for any reason fails to obtain such run-off policy or policies as of the Effective Time, Parent shall obtain, or cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, such run-off policy or policies; provided, however, that the premium for such run-off policy or policies shall not exceed 200% of the aggregate annual amounts currently paid by the Company to maintain its existing directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance policies; provided, further, that, if such run-off policy or policies cannot be obtained or can be obtained only by paying aggregate premiums in excess of 200% of such amount, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall only be required to obtain as much coverage as can be obtained by paying a premium equal to 200% of such amount.

(c) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 8.7.

(d) The provisions of this Section 8.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their respective representatives. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 8.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 8.9. State Takeover Laws. If any “fair price,” “business combination” or “control share acquisition” statute or other similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Merger, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereunder may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and (b) otherwise take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to eliminate or minimize the effects of any such statute or regulation on the Merger.

Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and the Company Subsidiaries’ operations.

Section 8.11. Additional Matters. In case, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, take all such necessary action.

Section 8.12. Section 16. Prior to the Effective Time, each party hereto shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Stock) by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act with respect to the Company and who will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 8.13. Transfer Taxes; Indian and Chinese Taxes

(a) All stock transfer, conveyance, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, notarial, filing, registration, recording and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger (other than such Taxes required to be paid by reason of the payment of a portion of the Total Merger Consideration to a Person other than the holder of record of Company Stock with respect to which such payment is made), shall be borne and paid by either Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation (regardless of the Person liable for such Taxes under Applicable Law).

(b) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall review (with advice and assistance from tax advisors with appropriate expertise and experience at a “Big Four” accounting firm or such other accounting firm as otherwise mutually agreed upon between the parties) and coordinate with Parent regarding all potential tax implications related to Taxes payable to Governmental Entities in India and the People’s Republic of China arising from or as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Company shall discuss (and make its advisors available to Parent to discuss) such Taxes on a regular basis with Parent and promptly provide any documents, information or assistance requested by Parent in relation to such Taxes. As promptly as practicable and in any event at least15 days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent the Company’s calculation of (x) the amount to be withheld in respect of Indian capital gains Tax from payments under this Agreement (the “Indian Withholding Tax”) and (y) the amount of Taxes payable to Governmental Entities in the People’s Republic of China arising from or as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “PRC Tax”), in each case together with appropriate and reasonably detailed supporting documentation (including tax opinions and valuation reports as described in the second sentence of this Section 8.13(b)), it being understood for avoidance of doubt that Parent shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to agree with and rely on such calculations. Parent’s determination in its good faith discretion, of the amount of the Indian Withholding Tax and the PRC Tax shall be final and binding under this Agreement, and for avoidance of doubt, the amount of Indian Withholding Tax as so determined by Parent shall be considered for purposes of Section 4.3(d) of this Agreement an amount required to be deducted and withheld under a provision of Applicable Law.

For purposes of this Section 8.15, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the litigation and other Actions by the Company (in any manner designed to not undermine the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such litigation or other Actions (which the Company will consider in good faith) but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such litigation or other Action, except for the settlement or compromise consent set forth in the preceding sentence.

Section 11.3. Interpretation. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in Article V or Article VI is not intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, are or are not material for purposes of this Agreement, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount in any dispute or controversy between or among the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Whenever this Agreement requires a Company Subsidiary to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Company Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of Parent and the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

Section 11.4. Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement (including the Exhibits, Schedules and other documents and instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including any transaction between or among the parties. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder is assignable or shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that, (x) Merger Sub may assign, by written notice to the Company, all of its rights and obligations hereunder to another wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent, in which event all references herein to Merger Sub shall be deemed references to such other subsidiary, and that (y) Parent may assign, by written notice to the Company, all of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates of Parent; in each case, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations under this Agreement; and provided further, that, any such assignment shall not materially impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 11.4 shall be null and void.

Section 11.5. Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement and all Actions (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that state, without any regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof, and except that the laws of the State of Nevada shall govern (i) the Merger and (ii) the internal affairs, including fiduciary duties, of the Company and the Company Board.

(b) All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or any appellate court thereof) (the “Specified Courts”).

Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 11.2. Nothing in this Section 11.5 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.5.

-70-

Section 11.6. Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein (including Section 8.4 and Section 10.2), whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

Section 11.7. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties; provided, however, that there shall not be any amendment that by Applicable Law requires approval by the Holders without obtaining such approval.

Section 11.8. Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts in the case of Parent, of the Company and, in the case of the Company, of Parent or Merger Sub, in each case, contained herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties, in the case of Parent, of the Company and, in the case of the Company, of Parent or Merger Sub, in each case, contained herein (or in any document delivered pursuant hereto) and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions, in the case of Parent, of the Company and, in the case of the Company, of Parent or Merger Sub, in each case, contained herein; provided, however, that there shall not be any extension or waiver that by Applicable Law requires further approval by the Holders without obtaining such approval. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall act as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

Section 11.9. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received counterparts thereof signed and delivered (by facsimile, e-mail of a .pdf attachment or otherwise) by all of the other parties.

Section 11.10. Severability; Validity; Parties in Interest. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any rule of law or public policy, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, and, to such end, the provisions of this Agreement are agreed to be severable. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. Except as provided in Section 8.7(d), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person not a party to this Agreement any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

-71-

Section 11.11. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached or the Merger was not consummated, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy, even if available. It is accordingly agreed that the parties (on behalf of themselves and the third party beneficiaries of this Agreement provided in Section 11.10) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 11.12. Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except in the case of a party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any party hereto and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement.

WHEREAS, no shares of Series __ Preferred have ever been converted into shares of Company Common Stock by the Series __ Holders and such holders do not desire to convert their shares of Series __ Preferred in connection with the Merger or otherwise but rather desire to receive their pro rata share of the Total Merger Consideration in the Merger on an “as if converted” basis;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that each Series __ Holder does hereby irrevocably, knowingly, intentionally, voluntarily and unconditionally approve and ratify the Merger Agreement, the Transactions, including the Merger, and the Plan of Merger;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that each Series __ Holder does hereby irrevocably, unconditionally, and permanently waives and agrees not to assert or exercise any rights that such Series __ Holder may now have or otherwise has had under the Series __ Certificate of Designations and any applicable law, to convert their shares of Series __ Preferred into Company Common Stock;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that each Series __ Holder does hereby irrevocably, unconditionally, and permanently waives and agrees not to assert or exercise any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights that such Series __ Holder may now have or otherwise has had under the Series __ Certificate of Designations and any applicable law, including but not limited to NRS Sections 92A.380 and 92A.390, in connection with the Merger or any of the other Transactions and makes no and withdraws all written objections to the Merger or the other Transactions and/or demands for the payment of “fair value” (as defined in NRS Section 92A.320), if any, with respect to the Company Common Stock or any other securities convertible into or exercisable for Company Common Stock owned by him, her or it;
