On March 2, 2009, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.

Agreement), by and among Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (HSNOC), Eagle Networks Merger
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSNOC

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, HSNOC will pay to the stockholders of Telsima a maximum

Company to Telsima prior to the Acquisition, plus (iii) an amount equal to 70% of any amounts collected
by the Company from certain Telsima customers during the period between February 27, 2009 and March
31, 2009. $2 million of the aggregate consideration was payable upon the closing of the Acquisition, $2.5
million of the aggregate consideration is payable on or about May 27, 2009 and $2.5 million of the
aggregate consideration is payable on or about August 27, 2009, with each of the May 27, 2009 and August
27, 2009 payments subject to adjustment based on the collections from Telsima customers described above.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, HSNOC has retained a $3 million holdback amount with respect to
certain indemnification and other obligations of the former stockholders of Telsima and this holdback
amount is due to be settled on or about February 27, 2010. In connection with the Acquisition, the
Company executed a guarantee of all of the amounts payable by HSNOC under the terms of the Merger

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
This Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to
time, this Agreement) is made and entered into as of February 27, 2009 by and among
Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Parent), Eagle
Networks Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent
(Merger Sub), Telsima Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), and
Arun Sobti, as Holder Representative.
RECITALS
A. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger (the Merger) of
Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with this Agreement and the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL) with the Company to be the surviving corporation
of the Merger.
B. The Company Board has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the
best interests of, the Company and the Stockholders, (ii) adopted and approved this Agreement, the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) recommended that the
Stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
by this Agreement (collectively, the Company Board Approval).
C. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has delivered
to Parent and Merger Sub written consents in a form approved by Parent (the Stockholders
Written Consent) adopting this Agreement and approving the Merger from the requisite
percentage of holders of Company Capital Stock in accordance with DGCL and the Company Certificate
of Incorporation.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set
forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1. The Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and
into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall
continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving
corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the Surviving
Corporation.
1.2. Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section
7.1, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the Closing) will
take place as promptly as practicable, but no later than three Business Days, following the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE V (other than conditions that by
their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such
conditions), at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 1900 University Avenue, East Palo Alto,
California 94303, unless another place or date is agreed to by Parent and the Company. The date
upon which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the Closing Date. On the Closing
Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a properly completed
and executed Certificate of Merger satisfying the requirements of the DGCL in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the Certificate of Merger) with the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of
acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of such filing being referred to
herein as the Effective Time).
1.3. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be
as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all rights and property of
the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts and liabilities
of the Company and Merger Sub shall become debts and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.
1.4. Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws.
(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall
be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in the Certificate of Merger until thereafter
amended as provided by applicable Law and such Certificate of Incorporation.
(b) At the Effective Time, the By-laws of Merger Sub shall be the By-laws of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter amended.
1.5. Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the
director(s) of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the initial
director(s) of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time and by virtue of the
Merger, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the initial
officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the By-laws of the

(ii) the aggregate amount of any advances (including applicable interest thereon) made by
Parent or any of its Affiliates to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date
which amount remains unpaid on the Closing Date (the Advances), provided, however, that
the maximum reduction to the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(ii) shall be
$2,000,000; plus
-2-
(iii) an amount equal to 70% of any amounts collected by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation (the Collections Amounts) during the period
between the date hereof and March 31, 2009 from Reliance ADA Group or any of its affiliates
(Reliance) and Digital Circuit Multiplication Equipment or any of its affiliates
(DCME) with respect to any transactions on or before the Closing Date between the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries and Reliance or DCME, provided, however that any adjustments to the
Merger Consideration in respect of such amounts collected during the period between the Closing
Date and March 31, 2009, if any, shall be reflected in payments made pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(ii)
and 1.6(c)(iii) (the Merger Consideration so adjusted, the Stockholder Merger
Consideration).
(b) Holdback. At Closing, Parent shall hold back $3,000,000 of the Merger
Consideration (the Holdback Amount) for the purpose of serving as a source of
indemnification for the Indemnified Parties pursuant to ARTICLE VI. The Holdback Amount shall be
held and released pursuant to the provisions contained in ARTICLE VI. On or prior to Closing,
Parent shall deliver to the Holder Representative a guarantee of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc., the
parent company of Parent, with respect to the payment of the Holdback Amount payable by Parent in
accordance with the provisions contained in ARTICLE VI.
(c) Payments of Stockholder Merger Consideration. The Stockholder Merger
Consideration shall be paid by Parent in the following installments:
(i) At the Closing, an aggregate of $2,000,000 of the Stockholder Merger Consideration shall
be payable to the Holders;
(ii) On the three-month anniversary of the Closing Date, 50% of the amount (if positive) equal
to (A) the Stockholder Merger Consideration (including the Collections Amounts in respect of
collections during the period between the Closing and March 31, 2009), minus (B) the Holdback
Amount minus (C) the amount of Stockholder Merger Consideration paid pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i),
shall be payable to the Holders; and
(iii) On the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, 50% of the amount (if positive) equal

Amount minus (C) the amount of Stockholder Merger Consideration paid pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i),
shall be payable to the Holders.
(d) Effect on Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger
and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholders:

applicable Law. The Company has not granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or

accelerated and become exercisable as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and whether such Company Option is or is not an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of
the Code. The cancellation of each Company Option and the termination of the Company Option Plan
without the consent of any holder of a Company Option is authorized by the Company Option Plan.
(ii) The Company has outstanding warrants (each a Company Warrant) for the purchase
of up to an aggregate of 246,414,197 shares of Company Common Stock, 830,000 shares of Series C

agreements or understandings with respect to the voting stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, by which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or of which the Company has knowledge, or (ii) agreements or

rights or drag-along rights) of any Company Capital Stock or Subsidiary Securities. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does not implicate any rights or obligations under the

Stock, Company Options, Company Warrants and any other Company Stock Rights have been or will be
properly given or shall have properly waived any required notice prior to the Merger.

indicated therein, subject, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements, to normal year-end
adjustments, not material in amount or significance.

Financial Statements. The Companys revenue recognition policy is consistent with GAAP.

timely paid all Taxes owed (whether or not shown, or required to be shown, on any Tax Returns).
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been
withheld and paid. To the Companys knowledge, all Tax Returns filed by the Company and its
Subsidiaries were complete and correct in all material respects, and such Tax Returns correctly
reflected the facts regarding the income, business, assets, operations, activities, status and
other matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries and any other information required to be shown
thereon. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has participated, within the meaning of

thereunder, or (iii) any potentially abusive tax shelter within the meaning of Section 6112 of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has taken a position on any Tax Return that could give rise to a substantial understatement of Tax
within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign
Tax Law). There are no Liens for Taxes upon any of the Companys or any of its Subsidiaries
assets, other than Liens for ad valorem Taxes not yet due and payable.

Subsidiaries is, or has been, a U.S. real property holding company (as defined in Section 897(c)(2)
of the Code) during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns an interest in real property in any
jurisdiction in which a Tax is imposed, or the value of the interest reassessed, on the transfer of
an interest in real property and which treats the transfer of an interest in an entity that owns an
interest in real property as a transfer of the interest in real property. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries has ever been either a controlled corporation or a distributing
corporation (within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code) with respect to a transaction
that was described in, or intended to qualify as a Tax-free transaction pursuant to Section 355 of
the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has net operating losses or other Tax
attributes presently subject to limitation under Sections 382, 383 or 384 of the Code, or the
federal consolidated return regulations (other than limitations imposed as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
made or agreed to make any adjustment under Section 481(a) of the Code (or any corresponding

similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), (iii) any installment sale or open transaction
disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date, and (iv) any prepaid amount received on or prior
to the Closing Date. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has ever (i) made an election under
Section 1362 of the Code to be treated as an S corporation for federal income Tax purposes or (ii)
made a similar election under any comparable provision of any state, local or foreign Tax Law.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns, directly or indirectly, any interests in an
entity that is or has been a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section
1297 of the Code.
(f) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Tax sharing agreement or
similar arrangement (including an indemnification agreement or arrangement). Neither the Company

Tax Return or a combined, consolidated, unitary or other affiliated group Tax Return for state,
local or foreign Tax purposes (other than a group the common parent of which is the Company), and
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability for the Taxes of any Person

deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) as shown
on the Company Balance Sheet, and will not exceed such reserve as adjusted for the passage of time
through the Closing Date as measured in accordance with the reasonable past custom and practice of
the Company and its Subsidiaries in filing Tax Returns. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries will incur any liability for Taxes from the Balance Sheet Date through the Closing
Date other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with reasonable prior practice or
as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(h) Schedule 2.27(h) lists all jurisdictions (whether foreign or domestic) to which
any Tax is properly payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No claim has ever been made
by a Tax Authority in a jurisdiction where the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not file Tax
Returns that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be subject to Tax in that
jurisdiction nor is there a reasonable basis for any such claim. Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has, or has ever had, a permanent establishment or other taxable presence in any
foreign country, as determined pursuant to applicable foreign Law and any applicable Tax treaty or

(l) Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has withheld all amounts required by Law
or agreement to be withheld from the wages, salaries or other payments to Employees of or

the foregoing.
(m) Each plan, program, arrangement or agreement that constitutes in any part a nonqualified

identified on Schedule 2.27(m) has been operated and maintained in accordance with the
requirements of IRS Notice 2005-1 and a good faith, reasonable interpretation of Section 409A of
the Code and its purpose with respect to amounts deferred (within the meaning of Section 409A of

31, 2009. Schedule 2.28(b) sets forth as of the date hereof (i) each current customer of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) with respect to each such customer, (x) whether
such customer is subject to the Companys standard form license terms attached hereto as
Schedule 2.28(c) and (y) each agreement with respect to such customer. Neither the Company

not result in the waiver of any applicable privilege and subject to appropriate confidentiality
agreements. The Company and Parent shall each cooperate reasonably with the other in connection
with resolving any inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Entity relating to the Antitrust
Filings. The Company and Parent shall each promptly inform the other of any communication with,
and any proposed understanding, agreement, or undertaking with any Governmental Entity relating to

of, and the opportunity to participate in (directly or through its representatives) any inquiry or
investigation by, or any material meeting or conference (whether by telecommunications or in
person) with, any Governmental Entity relating to the Antitrust Filings if, in the reasonable
judgment of the party that is subject to the inquiry, investigation, meeting or conference, such
participation by the other party is prudent and (based upon the advice of legal counsel) legally
permissible. Each of Parent and the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to

Effective Time, any assets, businesses or any interests in any assets or businesses, of Parent or
any of its Affiliates or of the Surviving Corporation (or to consent to any sale, or agreement to

any assets or businesses), or any change in or restriction on the operation by Parent of any assets
or businesses (including any assets or businesses of the Surviving Corporation), (ii) enter into
any agreement or be bound by any obligation that Parent may deem in its sole discretion to have an
adverse effect on the benefits to Parent of the Merger, or (iii) initiate or participate in any
legal proceeding with respect to any such matters.

following the date of Parent filing its Antitrust Filing under any applicable Antitrust Law, Parent

this Agreement; and (d) at the request of another party hereto, execute and deliver such other
instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements. In addition to the foregoing, each of
the parties to this Agreement shall work in good faith to minimize the tax obligations of Parent,
the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Holders arising from the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and in connection therewith, execute and deliver such other instruments and do and
perform such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable; provided, however,
that any such acts or things do not impose a material financial, tax, operating or other burden on
any of the parties.
4.9. Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt written notice to
Parent, and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the Company, of: (i) the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event that is likely to cause any of its representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the
Effective Time; (ii) any failure to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any of its
covenants, conditions or agreements to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; and (iii) any
event, condition, fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make any of the
conditions set forth in ARTICLE V required to be satisfied by such party incapable of being
satisfied in a timely manner; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice
pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall not limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the
party receiving such notice.
4.10. Termination of Investor Agreements. The Company shall take all such steps as
may be necessary to (i) terminate, as of the Closing, each of the Investor Agreements and all other
investor rights granted by the Company to its Stockholders and in effect prior to the Closing,
including rights of co-sale, voting, registration, first refusal, board observation or information
or operational covenants and (ii) deliver all required notifications of the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated hereby to the holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Stock Rights.
4.11. No Solicitation.
(a) Until the earlier of the Effective Time and the date of termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 7.1, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their
respective officers, directors, Employees, stockholders, Affiliates, financial advisors or
representatives (collectively, the Representatives) shall, directly or indirectly, take
any of the following actions with any Person other than Parent and its designees: (i) solicit,
initiate, entertain or agree to any proposals or offers from any Person relating to (A) any merger,
share exchange, business combination, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction
involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) the acquisition of beneficial ownership of
any equity interest in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether by issuance by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or by purchase (through a tender offer, exchange offer, negotiated
purchase or otherwise) from the stockholders of the Company or otherwise, (C) the license or
transfer of all
-45-
or a material portion of the assets of the Company or (D) any transaction that may be
inconsistent with or that may have an adverse effect upon the Merger (any of the transactions
described in clauses (A) through (D), a Third-Party Acquisition); or (ii) participate in
any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect
to, or otherwise cooperate with, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any Person to do
or seek, a Third-Party Acquisition.
(b) If the Company or any Representative receives an unsolicited inquiry, proposal or offer
relating to a Third-Party Acquisition from any Person, the Company will (i) promptly notify Parent
of the same and the details thereof (including the identity of the Person making same) and the
Company shall be permitted to provide a response without breaching this Section 4.11;
provided, that the response is limited to informing the initiator of such inquiry,
proposal or offer that the Company is unable to respond further at this time, (ii) provide to
Parent a copy of any written inquiry, proposal or offer and all correspondence related thereto, and
(iii) keep Parent informed of the status thereof.
(c) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the
provisions of this Section 4.11 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties that Parent shall be entitled to an
immediate injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money
damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent
breaches of the provisions of this Section 4.11 and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in
addition to any other remedy to which Parent may be entitled at Law or in equity. Without limiting
the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth above by any
Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this
Agreement by the Company.
4.12. Certain Employment Matters.
(a) Offers of Employment. Parent may contact the Employees in connection with
preparing, making or determining whether to make offers of continued employment with the Company or
its Subsidiaries or employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates, in each case on terms and
conditions that Parent determines in its sole discretion. The Company shall cooperate with and use
its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent in its efforts to secure satisfactory
employment arrangements with the Employees and to obtain executed Offer Package Agreements from
each Employee receiving such an offer of employment. Each Employee who will continue employment
with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or accepts an offer of new employment is hereafter
referred to as a Continuing Employee. The employment of the Continuing Employees by the
Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries shall continue following the Closing and for those
Continuing Employees who transfer to employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates, such
employment shall end on a date to be designated by Parent and the employment of the Continuing
Employees by Parent or its Affiliate shall commence at 12:01 A.M. on the day after such date. The
Continuing Employees will be employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries or by Parent or its
Affiliates on an at-will basis (terminable with or without cause and with or without notice) and
otherwise on terms of employment determined by Parent.
-46-
(b) Offer Package Agreements. Each Continuing Employee may be required, as a
condition to continued employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries or employment with Parent or
any of its Affiliates, to execute and deliver to Parent, on or prior to the Closing Date, Parents
form of standard employment documents, including an offer letter, code of conduct, anti-harassment
policy, email and data policy and such other agreements and documents as Parent requires generally
of its employees (together, the Offer Package Agreements).
(c) General Compensation and Benefits of Continuing Employees. Continuing Employees
shall receive standard employee benefits, if any, offered by Parent or its Affiliates to its
employees of comparable status and, with respect to determination of vacation accrual and vesting
in 401(k) plan related benefits, comparable length of service (in determining length of service,
Parent shall include each Continuing Employees length of service with the Company). Coverage for
each Continuing Employee under Parents benefit plans and programs shall commence as of 12:01 A.M.
on the day such Continuing Employee commences employment with Parent and for those Employees
continuing employment after the Closing with the Company or its Subsidiaries on the day designated
by Parent in its sole discretion. Subject to the consent of any third-party insurer, no exclusion
of conditions pre-existing as of the commencement of the Continuing Employees employment with
Parent shall be imposed under Parents welfare benefit plans and programs except to the extent
applicable as of that date under the comparable plan or program of the Company. For purposes of
satisfying any deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under Parents employee benefit plans,
Continuing Employees (and the dependents of such employees) shall receive credit for any
co-payments or deductibles paid under an analogous employee benefit plan at the Company.
(d) No Right to Continued Employment or Benefits. Parent is not under any obligation
to hire or retain any Employee, or provide any Employee with any particular benefits, or make any
payments or provide any benefits to those Employees whom Parent chooses not to employ or
subsequently terminates.
(e) Company Employee Plans. Effective immediately prior to the Closing, the Company
will terminate any and all Company Employee Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or
deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code and effective immediately prior to the
Closing, no Employee shall have any right to contribute any amounts to any Company Employee Plan
intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code.
At the request of Parent, the Company will provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee
Plans have been terminated effective immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to resolutions duly
adopted by the Company Board. In addition, at the request of Parent, the Company will terminate
any and all other Company Employee Plans, including any group health, dental, severance, separation
or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements, effective either immediately prior to the
Closing or thereafter as specified by Parent and, at the request of Parent, the Company will
provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plans have been so terminated pursuant to
resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board. The Company also shall take such other commercially
reasonable actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plans as Parent may
reasonably require.
4.13. Section 280G Approval. If the Company is obligated to make any payments, or is
a party to any agreement that under certain circumstances could obligate it to make any
-47-
payments, that will not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code if the stockholder
approval requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code are not satisfied, then the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such stockholder approval as promptly as is
practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the Closing Date.
4.14. Tax Matters.
(a) Conduct of Business. From the date hereof until the Effective Time, neither the

all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if
required by applicable Law, Parent will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other
documentation. At Parents discretion, the amount paid to any Person pursuant to this Agreement
will be reduced by the amount of Taxes payable by such Person pursuant to this Section 4.14(b).
Any amount so withheld will be promptly remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority.
(c) Tax Returns. The Company and each Subsidiary shall timely file all their Tax
Returns that are due (taking all timely filed extension requests into account) after the date of
this Agreement and on or before the Closing Date, all such Tax Returns shall be true, correct and
complete, and the Company and each Subsidiary shall timely pay all Taxes shown as due on such Tax
Returns. The Company will promptly provide or make available to Parent copies of all Tax Returns,
reports and information statements that are filed after the date of this Agreement and prior to the
Closing Date.
(d) Tax Contests. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Parent will have the right to
conduct any Tax audit or other Tax contest relating to the Surviving Corporation.

factual information requested by Parent that is reasonably necessary for Parent to determine the
limitations, if any, on the Companys tax carryforwards under Sections 382, 383 and 384 of the Code
or any similar provision of Law of any other jurisdiction applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company agrees that, on or before the Closing Date, it will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to provide to Parent the following information: (i) any information known to the
Company regarding the ownership of the equity of the Company from the time the Company was formed
through the date hereof (including any capitalization tables, option tables or redemption tables
known to the Company with respect to the equity of the

Company showing the ownership of Company stock and/or options, the dates any such stock or
options were issued or transferred, and the prices and (if applicable) strike prices at which any
such stock or options were issued), (ii) any information known to the Company regarding any
relationships between or among the Stockholders, (iii) any valuation-type spreadsheets, memoranda,
offering documents, resolutions of the Company Board, or similar materials of the Company that have
been prepared by or for the Company in connection with any stock offerings, option issuances,
changes in option pricing or redemptions, if any, and (iv) any written analysis known to the
Company that has been conducted regarding whether there is any limitation on its Tax carryforwards
under the foregoing Code sections.
4.15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company. During the period
ending six years after the Effective Time, Parent will ensure that the Surviving Corporation
fulfills the obligations of the Company to the Companys present and former directors and officers
(the Indemnified D&Os) pursuant to the terms of the Company Certificate of Incorporation
as in effect on the date hereof and the Indemnification Agreements listed on Schedule 4.15
entered into by and between the Company and each such director of the Company. Furthermore, the

representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, will not be limited or affected by any
investigation conducted by Parent or Merger Sub or any agent of Parent or Merger Sub with respect
to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Parent or Merger Sub or any agent
of Parent or Merger Sub at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or
-55-

6.4. Procedures.
(a) General. Promptly after the discovery by any Indemnified Party of any Loss or
Losses, claim or breach, including any claim by a third party (a Third Party Claim), that
would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified
Party shall deliver to the Holder Representative a certificate (a Claim Certificate)
that:
(i) states that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses, or reasonably
anticipates that it may or will incur liability for Losses, for which such Indemnified Party may be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and
(ii) specifies in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable and available, each individual
item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated liability and the
nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to
which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to
which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder;
provided, that no delay on the part of any Indemnified Party in notifying the
Holder Representative shall relieve the Holders of any liability or obligations hereunder except to
the extent that the Holders have been materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent.
(b) If the Holder Representative objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in
respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Holder Representative shall
deliver a written notice to such effect to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after receipt by
the Holder Representative of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Holder Representative and the
Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties
for a period of not less than 60 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written
objection with respect to each of such claims to which the Holder Representative has objected. If
the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative agree with respect to any of such claims, the
Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum
setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative fail to
agree as to any particular item or items
-56-
or amount or amounts within such 60-day period, then either party shall be entitled to pursue
its available remedies for resolving its claim for indemnification.
(c) Indemnified Party Defense; Settlement. The Indemnified Party shall have the right
in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim; provided,
however, that any settlement of any such Third-Party Claim shall be effected with the prior
written consent of the Holder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. If any such action or claim is settled with the prior written consent of
the Holder Representative, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action,
the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of any Loss relating
thereto.
(d) Holder Defense; Settlement. In the event the Indemnified Party elects not to
defend the Third Party Claim, the Holder Representative may defend such claim at the Holders sole
cost and expense. In such event, neither the Holders nor the Holder Representative shall have any
right to settle, adjust or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the express written consent of
the Indemnified Party against whom the Third-Party Claim has been asserted, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(e) Agreed Claims. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which the
Holder Representative did not object in writing within 30 days of receipt of such Claim
Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in
Section 6.4(b) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of
resolution by arbitration or of a final non-appealable judicial determination are hereinafter
referred to, collectively, as Agreed Claims. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
payment for any Agreed Claim within ten Business Days of the determination of the amount of any
such Agreed Claims.
6.5. Holdback Amount.
(a) In the event an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification by the Holders for Losses
under this ARTICLE VI, Parent shall be entitled to retain, and shall no longer be obligated to
release to the Holders, a portion of the Holdback Amount equal to the amount of such Losses.
(b) On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall release and pay to the Holders
each Holders Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Amount which is not then subject to claims made
pursuant to Section 6.4 or offset by any Losses described in a Claim Certificate delivered to
Seller prior to such date and previously retained by Parent pursuant to Section 6.5(a). In the
event that, after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any portion of the Holdback Amount is
no longer subject to claims made pursuant to Section 6.4 or offset for Losses due to a final
settlement or adjudication of the claim with respect to such Losses, Parent shall promptly release
to the Holders each Holders Pro Rata Share of such portion of the Holdback Amount.
6.6. Merger Consideration Adjustment. The Company, Parent, the Holder Representative
and the Holders agree to treat each indemnification payment pursuant to this
-57-

position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Law pursuant to a
determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.
