PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
     This summary highlights important features of this offering and the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing in our common stock discussed under “Risk Factors.”
AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Akamai provides services for accelerating and improving the delivery of content and applications over the Internet from live and on-demand streaming videos to conventional content on web pages to tools that help people transact business. Our solutions are designed to help businesses, government agencies and other enterprises enhance their revenue streams and reduce costs by maximizing the performance of their online businesses. By advancing the performance and reliability of their websites, our customers can improve visitor experiences and increase the effectiveness of their Web-based campaigns and operations. Through the Akamai EdgePlatform, the technological platform for Akamai’s business solutions, our customers are able to utilize Akamai’s infrastructure and reduce expenses associated with internal infrastructure build-ups.
We have been offering content delivery services and streaming media services since 1999. In subsequent years, we have introduced technology that enables Web-based delivery of applications, such as store/dealer locators and user registration, over our network; content targeting technology; enhanced security features; and analytical tools that provide our customers with information about visitors to their websites. During 2005, we began commercial sales of our Web Application Accelerator service, which is designed to improve the performance of Web- and IP-based applications through a combination of dynamic caching, compression of large packets, routing and connection optimization.
Significant developments for us in 2006 included J.D. Sherman becoming our Chief Financial Officer in March. In June 2006, we formally introduced our suite of Dynamic Site Solutions, which are designed to accelerate delivery of business-to-consumer websites that integrate rich, collaborative content and applications into their online architecture. In December 2006, we acquired Nine Systems Corporation, or Nine Systems, which has allowed us to offer additional rich media management tools such as publishing and digital rights management. In March 2007, we acquired Netli, Inc. We expect that this acquisition will enhance our application acceleration solutions, which are designed to improve the performance of web- and other internet-based applications.
We were incorporated in Delaware in 1998. Our principal executive offices are located at 8 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, our telephone number at that address is (617) 444-3000 and our Internet address is www.akamai.com.

RISK FACTORS
     Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before purchasing our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete successfully against new entrants with innovative approaches and established companies with greater resources.
     We compete in markets that are intensely competitive, highly fragmented and rapidly changing. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience increased competition. Many of our current competitors, as well as a number of our potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and industry alliances and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Some of our existing resellers are potential competitors. If one or more resellers that generate substantial revenues for us were to terminate our relationship and become a competitor or a reseller for a competitor, our business could be adversely affected. Other competitors may attract customers by offering less-sophisticated versions of services than we provide at lower prices than those we charge. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Some of our current or potential competitors may bundle their offerings with other services, software or hardware in a manner that may discourage website owners from purchasing any service we offer. Increased competition could result in price and revenue reductions, loss of customers and loss of market share, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
     In addition, potential customers may decide to purchase or develop their own hardware, software and other technology solutions rather than rely on an external provider like Akamai. As a result, our competitors include hardware manufacturers, software companies and other entities that offer Internet-related solutions that are not service-based. It is an important component of our growth strategy to educate enterprises and government agencies about our services and convince them to entrust their content and applications to an external service provider, and Akamai in particular. If we are unsuccessful in such efforts, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
If we are unable to sell our services at acceptable prices relative to our costs, our business and financial results are likely to suffer.
     Prices we have been charging for some of our services have declined in recent years. We expect that this decline may continue in the future as a result of, among other things, existing and new competition in the markets we serve. Consequently, our historical revenue rates may not be indicative of future revenues based on comparable traffic volumes. In addition, our operating expenses have increased on an absolute basis in each of 2004, 2005 and 2006. If we are unable to sell our services at acceptable prices relative to our costs or if we are unsuccessful with our strategy of selling additional services and features to our existing content delivery customers, our revenues and gross margins will decrease, and our business and financial results will suffer.
Failure to increase our revenues and keep our expenses consistent with revenues could prevent us from maintaining profitability at recent levels or at all.
     The year ended December 31, 2004 was the first fiscal year during which we achieved profitability as measured in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have large fixed expenses, and we expect to continue to incur significant bandwidth, sales and marketing, product development, administrative and other expenses. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenues to maintain profitability at recent levels or at all. There are numerous factors that could, alone or in combination with other factors, impede our ability to increase revenues and/or moderate expenses, including:

-4-


Table of Contents

    failure to increase sales of our core services;
 
    significant increases in bandwidth costs or other operating expenses;
 
    market pressure to decrease our prices;
 
    any failure of our current and planned services and software to operate as expected;
 
    loss of any significant customers or loss of existing customers at a rate greater than we increase our number of new customers or our sales to existing customers;
 
    unauthorized use or access to content delivered over our network or network failures;
 
    failure of a significant number of customers to pay our fees on a timely basis or at all or failure to continue to purchase our services in accordance with their contractual commitments; and
 
    inability to attract high-quality customers to purchase and implement our current and planned services.
As part of our business strategy, we have entered into and may enter into or seek to enter into business combinations and acquisitions that may be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or divert management attention.
     On March 13, 2007, we completed our acquisition of Netli, and in December 2006 and June 2005 we completed our acquisitions of Nine Systems Corporation, or Nine Systems, and Speedera Networks, Inc., or Speedera, respectively. We may seek to enter into additional business combinations or acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions are typically accompanied by a number of risks, including the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential disruption of our ongoing business, the potential distraction of management, expenses related to the acquisition and potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses. Any inability to integrate completed acquisitions in an efficient and timely manner could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. If we are not successful in completing acquisitions that we may pursue in the future, we may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management time and resources without a productive result. In addition, future acquisitions could require use of substantial portions of our available cash or, as in the Netli, Nine Systems and Speedera acquisitions, dilutive issuances of securities.
Future changes in financial accounting standards may adversely affect our reported results of operations.
     A change in accounting standards can have a significant effect on our reported results. New accounting pronouncements and interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. These new accounting pronouncements may adversely affect our reported financial results. For example, beginning in 2006, under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) “Share Based Payment”, or SFAS No. 123(R), we are required to account for our stock-based awards as a compensation expense and, as a result, our net income and net income per share in subsequent periods has been significantly reduced. Previously, we recorded stock-based compensation expense only in connection with option grants that have an exercise price below fair market value at the time they were granted.
     For option grants that have an exercise price at fair market value, we calculated compensation expense and disclosed its impact on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, as well as the impact of all stock-based compensation expense in a footnote to the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) required us to adopt the new accounting provisions beginning in our first quarter of 2006, and requires us to expense stock-based awards, including shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan, stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock units and restricted stock units, as compensation cost. As a result, our earnings per share is likely to be significantly lower in the future even if our revenues increase.
If we are unable to develop new services and enhancements to existing services, and if we fail to predict and respond to emerging technological trends and customers’ changing needs, our operating results may suffer.

-5-


Table of Contents

     The market for our services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and new product and service introductions. Our operating results depend on our ability to develop and introduce new services into existing and emerging markets. The process of developing new technologies is complex and uncertain; we must commit significant resources to developing new services or enhancements to our existing services before knowing whether our investments will result in services the market will accept. Furthermore, we may not execute successfully our technology initiatives because of errors in planning or timing, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, misunderstandings about market demand or a lack of appropriate resources. Failures in execution or market acceptance of new services we introduce could result in competitors providing those solutions before we do and, consequently, loss of market share, revenues and earnings.
Any unplanned interruption in the functioning of our network or services could lead to significant costs and disruptions that could reduce our revenues and harm our business, financial results and reputation.
     Our business is dependent on providing our customers with fast, efficient and reliable distribution of application and content delivery services over the Internet. For our core services, we currently provide a standard guarantee that our networks will deliver Internet content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If we do not meet this standard, our customer does not pay for all or a part of its services on that day. Our network or services could be disrupted by numerous events, including natural disasters, unauthorized access to our servers, failure or refusal of our third-party network providers to provide the necessary capacity, power losses and intentional disruptions of our services, such as disruptions caused by software viruses or attacks by unauthorized users. Although we have taken steps to prevent such disruptions, there can be no assurance that attacks by unauthorized users will not be attempted in the future, that our enhanced security measures will be effective or that a successful attack would not be damaging. Any widespread interruption of the functioning of our network or services would reduce our revenues and could harm our business, financial results and reputation.
Because our services are complex and are deployed in complex environments, they may have errors or defects that could seriously harm our business.
     Our services are highly complex and are designed to be deployed in and across numerous large and complex networks. From time to time, we have needed to correct errors and defects in our software. In the future, there may be additional errors and defects in our software that may adversely affect our services. We may not have in place adequate quality assurance procedures to ensure that we detect errors in our software in a timely manner. If we are unable to efficiently fix errors or other problems that may be identified, or if there are unidentified errors that allow persons to improperly access our services, we could experience loss of revenues and market share, damage to our reputation, increased expenses and legal actions by our customers.
We may have insufficient transmission and server capacity, which could result in interruptions in our services and loss of revenues.
     Our operations are dependent in part upon transmission capacity provided by third-party telecommunications network providers. In addition, our distributed network must be sufficiently robust to handle all of our customers’ traffic. We believe that we have access to adequate capacity to provide our services; however, there can be no assurance that we are adequately prepared for unexpected increases in bandwidth demands by our customers. In addition, the bandwidth we have contracted to purchase may become unavailable for a variety of reasons, including payment disputes or network providers going out of business. Any failure of these network providers to provide the capacity we require, due to financial or other reasons, may result in a reduction in, or interruption of, service to our customers. If we do not have access to third-party transmission capacity, we could lose customers. If we are unable to obtain transmission capacity on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all, our business and financial results could suffer. We may not be able to deploy on a timely basis enough servers to meet the needs of our customer base or effectively manage the functioning of those servers. In addition, damage or destruction of, or other denial of access to, a facility where our servers are housed could result in a reduction in, or interruption of, service to our customers.
If the estimates we make, and the assumptions on which we rely, in preparing our financial statements prove inaccurate, our actual results may be adversely affected.

-6-


Table of Contents

     Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments about, among other things, taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation costs, capitalization of internal-use software, contingent obligations, doubtful accounts, intangible assets and restructuring charges. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, the amounts of charges accrued by us, such as those made in connection with our restructuring charges, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. If our estimates or the assumptions underlying them are not correct, we may need to accrue additional charges that could adversely affect our results of operations, which in turn could adversely affect our stock price.
If we are unable to retain our key employees and hire qualified sales and technical personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed.
     Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key technology, sales, marketing and support personnel who have critical industry experience and relationships that they rely on in implementing our business plan. There is increasing competition for talented individuals in the areas in which our primary offices are located. This affects both our ability to retain key employees and hire new ones. None of our officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term. The loss of the services of any of our key employees could delay the development and introduction of, and negatively impact our ability to sell, our services.
If our license agreement with MIT terminates, our business could be adversely affected.
     We have licensed technology from MIT covered by various patents, patent applications and copyrights relating to Internet content delivery technology. Some of our core technology is based in part on the technology covered by these patents, patent applications and copyrights. Our license is effective for the life of the patents and patent applications; however, under limited circumstances, such as a cessation of our operations due to our insolvency or our material breach of the terms of the license agreement, MIT has the right to terminate our license. A termination of our license agreement with MIT could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may need to defend our intellectual property and processes against patent or copyright infringement claims, which would cause us to incur substantial costs.
     Other companies or individuals, including our competitors, may hold or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our services or develop new services, which could make it more difficult for us to increase revenues and improve or maintain profitability. Companies holding Internet-related patents or other intellectual property rights are increasingly bringing suits alleging infringement of such rights. Any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and require us to do one or more of the following:
    cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
 
    pay substantial damages;
 
    obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or
 
    redesign products or services.
     If we are forced to take any of these actions, our business may be seriously harmed. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license to the infringed technology, our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

-7-


Table of Contents

Our business will be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use or infringement by third parties.
     We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We have previously brought lawsuits against entities that we believe are infringing on our intellectual property rights. Such lawsuits can be expensive and require a significant amount of attention of our management and technical personnel, and the outcomes are unpredictable. These legal protections afford only limited protection. Monitoring unauthorized use of our services is difficult and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Although we have licensed from other parties proprietary technology covered by patents, we cannot be certain that any such patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that any pending or future patent applications will be granted, that any future patent will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that rights granted under any patent that may be issued will provide competitive advantages to us.
We face risks associated with international operations that could harm our business.
     We have operations in several foreign countries and may continue to expand our sales and support organizations internationally. Such expansion could require us to make significant expenditures. We are increasingly subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase our costs, lengthen our sales cycle and require significant management attention. These risks include:
    increased expenses associated with marketing services in foreign countries;
 
    currency exchange rate fluctuations;
 
    unexpected changes in regulatory requirements resulting in unanticipated costs and delays;
 
    interpretations of laws or regulations that would subject us to regulatory supervision or, in the alternative, require us to exit a country, which could have a negative impact on the quality of our services or our results of operations;
 
    longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; and
 
    potentially adverse tax consequences.
Any failure to meet our debt obligations would damage our business.
     We have long-term debt. As of December 31, 2006, our total long-term debt was $200.0 million. If we are unable to remain profitable or if we use more cash than we generate in the future, our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our future operations by increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions and by limiting or prohibiting our ability to obtain additional financing for future capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate and other purposes. In addition, if we are unable to make interest or principal payments when due, we would be in default under the terms of our long-term debt obligations, which would result in all principal and interest becoming due and payable which, in turn, would seriously harm our business.
Internet-related and other laws could adversely affect our business.
     Laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce over the Internet are becoming more prevalent. In particular, the growth and development of the market for online commerce has prompted calls for more stringent tax, consumer protection and privacy laws, both in the United States and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online or providing Internet-related services such as ours. This could negatively affect both our business directly as well as the businesses of our customers, which could reduce their demand for our services. Tax laws that might apply to our servers, which are located in many different

-8-


Table of Contents

jurisdictions, could require us to pay additional taxes that would adversely affect our continued profitability. We have recorded certain tax reserves to address potential exposures involving our sales and use and franchise tax positions. These potential tax liabilities result from the varying application of statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations by different jurisdictions. Our reserves, however, may not be adequate to reflect our total actual liability. Internet-related laws remain largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to the Internet or our operations, or interpretations of existing law, could adversely affect our business.
Provisions of our charter documents, our stockholder rights plan and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could prevent a change in control even if the change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.
     Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated by-laws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors has adopted a stockholder rights plan the provisions of which could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer of Akamai to consummate an acquisition transaction without the approval of our Board of Directors.
Our stock price has been volatile.
     The market price of our common stock has been volatile. Trading prices may continue to fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, including the following:
    quarterly variations in operating results and announcements of innovations;
 
    new products, services and strategic developments by us or our competitors;
 
    business combinations and investments by us or our competitors;
 
    variations in our revenue, expenses or profitability;
 
    changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts;
 
    failure to meet the expectations of public market analysts;
 
    performance by other companies in our industry; and
 
    geopolitical conditions such as acts of terrorism or military conflicts.
     Any of these events may cause the price of our shares to fall. In addition, the stock market in general and the market prices for technology companies in particular have experienced significant volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our shares, regardless of our operating performance.
If we are required to seek additional funding, such funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
     If our revenues decrease or grow more slowly than we anticipate, if our operating expenses increase more than we expect or cannot be reduced in the event of lower revenues, or if we seek to acquire significant businesses or technologies, we may need to obtain funding from outside sources. If we are unable to obtain this funding, our business would be materially and adversely affected. In addition, even if we were to find outside funding sources, we might be required to issue securities with greater rights than the securities we have outstanding today. We might also be required to take other actions that could lessen the value of our common stock, including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to us. In addition, we may not be able to raise any additional capital.

Table of Contents

A class action lawsuit has been filed against us and an adverse resolution of such action could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations in the period in which the lawsuit is resolved.
     We are named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in 2001 alleging that the underwriters of our initial public offering received undisclosed compensation in connection with our initial public offering of common stock in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. See Item 3 of Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for more information. Any conclusion of these matters in a manner adverse to us could have a material adverse affect on our financial position and results of operations.
We may become involved in other litigation that may adversely affect us.
     In the ordinary course of business, we are or may become involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

USE OF PROCEEDS
     We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to permit the holders of shares of our common stock described in the section entitled “Selling Stockholders” to resell such shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of the shares from time to time by such holders. The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the selling stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq Global Market listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
     We issued the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus in a private placement in connection with our acquisition of Netli on March 13, 2007. The following table sets forth, to our knowledge, certain information about the selling stockholders as of March 26, 2007.
     Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares. Shares of common stock issuable under stock options that are exercisable within 60 days after March 13, 2007 are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the person named below.

(2)   We do not know when or in what amounts a selling stockholder may offer shares for sale. The selling stockholders might not sell any or all of the shares offered by this prospectus.

Table of Contents

     Except as described in footnotes above, none of the selling stockholders has held any position or office with, or has otherwise had a material relationship with, us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years.
     This prospectus also covers any additional shares of common stock that we may issue or that may be issuable by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or similar transactions involving our common stock.
     Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and any changed information will be set forth in a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement if and when necessary.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
     The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. The term “selling stockholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may sell their shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
 
    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
 
    block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
    an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market;
 
    privately negotiated transactions;
 
    options transactions; and
 
    any other legally available means.
     In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
     To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell the common stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
     In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
     In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Some of the underwriters or deemed underwriters or agents and their associates may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
     Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. We have included such a provision in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, which we refer to as the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
     Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite an adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and

Table of Contents

reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
     Article SEVENTH of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), provides that no director of Akamai shall be personally liable for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty.
     Article EIGHTH of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director or officer of Akamai: (a) shall be indemnified by Akamai against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of Akamai) brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of Akamai if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Akamai, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b) shall be indemnified by Akamai against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of Akamai brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of Akamai if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Akamai, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to Akamai, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by Akamai against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced to a director or officer at his request, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
     Indemnification is required to be made unless Akamai determines that the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event of a determination by Akamai that the director or officer did not meet the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification, or if Akamai fails to make an indemnification payment within 60 days after such payment is claimed by such person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director or officer must give Akamai notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and Akamai has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense thereof.
     Article EIGHTH of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or officers, then Akamai must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law as so amended.
     We have purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which would indemnify our directors and officers against damages arising out of certain kinds of claims which might be made against them based on their negligent acts or omissions while acting in their capacity as such.

Item 17. Undertakings.
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
     (i)      To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);
     (ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
     (iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Table of Contents

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
     (i)      Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
     (ii)     Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
     (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
     (iii)     Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
     (iv)     Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
     (v)      The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
     (vi)     Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

II-4


Table of Contents

     (6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     (7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER This Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") is entered into as of February 2, 2007, by and among Akamai Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Buyer"), Lode Star Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer (the "Transitory Subsidiary"), Netli, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Alta Funds, Bessemer Funds, Granite Global Funds, LeapFrog Ventures, L.P., Morgenthaler Partners VII, L.P., Nokia Funds and Reed-Elsevier Ventures 2004 Partnership L.P. (each a "Principal Stockholder" and, collectively, the "Principal Stockholders") and, for the purposes of Section 9.3 and Article XII herein only, Gary Messiana, John Metzger, Soren Lindkvist, Willie Tejada and Andrew Robinson (each a "Non-competition Party" and, collectively, the "Non-competition Parties"). The Buyer, the Transitory Subsidiary, the Company and the Principal Stockholders are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties". This Agreement contemplates a merger of the Transitory Subsidiary into the Company. In such merger, (a) the Company Stockholders will receive Buyer Common Shares in exchange for their capital stock of the Company and (b) options and warrants to acquire common stock of the Company will become options and warrants to acquire Buyer Common Shares. For federal income tax purposes, the Buyer, the Transitory Subsidiary, and the Company intend, by approving resolutions authorizing this Agreement, to adopt this Agreement as a plan of reorganization and for the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, certain of the Company's employees are entering into agreements with the Buyer regarding retention arrangements and certain of the Company's employees and the Principal Stockholders are entering into non-competition and/or non-solicitation agreements with the Buyer. The Parties intend that, as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, as a condition of the willingness of the Buyer and the Company to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company will cause written consents to approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be executed by themselves or by their proxy holders. Now, therefore, in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows. ARTICLE I THE MERGER 1.1 The Merger. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Transitory Subsidiary shall merge with and into the Company at the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Transitory Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 1.2 The Closing. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, 60 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time on the Closing Date, or such other time and place as the Parties mutually agree. 1.3 Actions at the Closing. At the Closing:

(a) the Company shall deliver to the Buyer and the Transitory Subsidiary the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 5.1; (b) the Buyer and the Transitory Subsidiary shall deliver to the Representative the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 5.2; (c) the Surviving Corporation shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Merger; (d) the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall authorize and instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver the aggregate Initial Merger Shares, the Representative Shares and the Escrow Shares in accordance with Sections 1.5(h) and 1.7(a); and (e) the Buyer, the Representative and the Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement, and the Buyer shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate for the Escrow Shares and the Representative Shares being placed in escrow on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.11. 1.4 Additional Action. The Surviving Corporation may, at any time from and after the Effective Time, take any action, including executing and delivering any document, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or the Transitory Subsidiary, in order to consummate and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 1.5 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the following securities: (a) Each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Common Shares owned beneficially by the Buyer or the Transitory Subsidiary, Dissenting Shares and Common Shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Sections 1.10 and 1.11) such number of Buyer Common Shares as is equal to the result obtained by dividing (i) the Merger Consideration (as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof), minus the Employee Amount, minus the Aggregate Preference Amount by (ii) the Adjusted Participating Shares (the "Common Conversion Ratio"). The Common Conversion Ratio shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Buyer Common Shares between the date hereof and the Effective Time. (b) Each Series A Preferred Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Series A Preferred Shares owned beneficially by the Buyer or the Transitory Subsidiary, Dissenting Shares and Series A Preferred Shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Sections 1.10 and 1.11) such number of shares of Buyer Common Shares as is equal to the Series A Preference Amount. The Series A Preference Amount shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Buyer Common Shares between the date hereof and the Effective Time. (c) Each Series B Preferred Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Series B Preferred Shares owned beneficially by the Buyer or the Transitory Subsidiary, Dissenting Shares and Series B Preferred Shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Sections 1.10 and 1.11) such -2-

number of shares of Buyer Common Shares as is equal to the sum of (i) the Series B Preference Amount plus (ii) the product of (x) the Series B Conversion Ratio and (y) the Common Conversion Ratio.

(d) Each Series B-1 Preferred Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Series B-1 Preferred Shares owned beneficially by the Buyer or the Transitory Subsidiary, Dissenting Shares and Series B-1 Preferred Shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Sections 1.10 and 1.11) such number of shares of Buyer Common Shares as is equal to the sum of (i) the Series B-1 Preference Amount plus (ii) the product of (x) the Series B-1 Conversion Ratio and (y) the Common Conversion Ratio. The Series B-1 Preference Amount and the Common Conversion Ratio shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Buyer Common Shares between the date hereof and the Effective Time. (e) Each Series C Preferred Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Series C Preferred Shares owned beneficially by the Buyer or the Transitory Subsidiary, Dissenting Shares and Series C Preferred Shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Sections 1.10 and 1.11) such number of shares of Buyer Common Shares as is equal to the sum of (i) the Series C Preference Amount plus (ii) the product of (x) the Series C Conversion Ratio and (y) the Common Conversion Ratio. The Series C Preference Amount and the Common Conversion Ratio shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Buyer Common Shares between the date hereof and the Effective Time. (f) Each Series D Preferred Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Series D Preferred Shares owned beneficially by the Buyer or the Transitory Subsidiary, Dissenting Shares and Series D Preferred Shares held in the Company's treasury) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Sections 1.10 and 1.11) such number of shares of Buyer Common Shares as is equal to the sum of (i) the Series D Preference Amount plus (ii) the product of (x) the Series D Conversion Ratio and (y) the Common Conversion Ratio. The Series D Preference Amount and the Common Conversion Ratio shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Buyer Common Shares between the date hereof and the Effective Time.

(h) Of the Buyer Common Shares into which each Company Stockholder's Company Shares shall be converted at the Effective Time pursuant to this Section 1.5, (i) such Company Stockholder's Escrow Amount shall be designated as Escrow Shares and deposited in escrow pursuant to Section 1.11, (ii) such Company Stockholder's Representative Amount shall be designated as Representative Shares and deposited in escrow pursuant to Section 1.11, and (iii) the remainder of such Buyer Common Shares not deposited into escrow pursuant to the foregoing clauses (the "Initial Merger Shares") shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.7 and subject to the provisions of Section 1.8. -3-

(j) Each share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Transitory Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and thereafter evidence one share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. (k) The Company has prepared Schedule I attached hereto as a preliminary summary of the allocation of proceeds to holders of Company Shares contemplated by this Section 1.5. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company and the Buyer will jointly amend Schedule I as of the Effective Time to reflect the allocation of proceeds to holders of Company Shares based on (i) the total number of Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and to reflect the exercise of any Options or Warrants during the Pre-Closing Period and (ii) the calculation of the Preliminary Base Purchase Price. 1.6 Dissenting Shares. (a) Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Buyer Common Shares, unless the Company Stockholder holding such Dissenting Shares shall have forfeited his, her or its right to appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law or properly withdrawn, his, her or its demand for appraisal. If such Company Stockholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then as of the occurrence of such event, such holder's Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Buyer Common Shares issuable in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 1.5. (b) Immediately after the occurrence of a conversion of Dissenting Shares into Buyer Common Shares pursuant to Section 1.6(a), (i) if such conversion occurs during the Escrow Period, the Escrow Amount and the Representative Amount for the Company Stockholder who formerly held Dissenting Shares shall be designated as Escrow Shares and Representative Shares, respectively, and shall remain in escrow pursuant to Section 1.11 and (ii) the remainder of such Buyer Common Shares not deposited into escrow pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) (which shares shall be considered Initial Merger Shares for all purposes of this Agreement) shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholder holding such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 1.7 and subject to the provisions of Section 1.8. (c) The Company shall give the Buyer (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Buyer, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Shares or offer to settle or settle any such demands. 1.7 Exchange of Shares. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Buyer shall appoint the Exchange Agent to effect the delivery of the Initial Merger Shares in exchange for Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall authorize and instruct the Exchange Agent in writing to (i) distribute the Initial Merger Shares to the -4-

Company Stockholders as described in Section 1.5 and in accordance with this Section 1.7 and (ii) establish a reserve for the issuance of Assumed Options. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall also deliver to the Exchange Agent cash for any fractional shares as described in Section 1.8. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent to send a notice and a transmittal form to each holder of a Certificate advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Exchange Agent such Certificate in exchange for the Initial Merger Shares issuable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.5. Each holder of a Certificate, upon proper surrender thereof to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the instructions in such notice, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (subject to any taxes required to be withheld) the Initial Merger Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.5 plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares, as provided in Section 1.8 below. Until properly surrendered, each such Certificate shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only the right to receive a certificate for the Initial Merger Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.5. Holders of Certificates shall not be entitled to receive certificates for the Initial Merger Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled until such Certificates are properly surrendered. (b) If any Initial Merger Shares are to be issued in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of such Initial Merger Shares that (i) the Certificate so surrendered shall be transferable, and shall be properly assigned, endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, (ii) such transfer shall otherwise be proper and (iii) the person requesting such transfer shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party shall be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any Initial Merger Shares issuable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.5 that are delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. (c) 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, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Initial Merger Shares issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to Section 1.5. The Exchange Agent or the Buyer may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to give the Exchange Agent and/or the Buyer a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent or the Buyer with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. (d) No dividends or other distributions that are payable to the holders of record of Buyer Common Shares as of a date on or after the Closing Date shall be paid to former Company Stockholders entitled by reason of the Merger to receive Initial Merger Shares until such holders surrender their Certificates for certificates representing the Initial Merger Shares. Upon such surrender, the Buyer shall pay or deliver to the persons in whose name the certificates representing such Initial Merger Shares are issued any dividends or other distributions that are payable to the holders of record of Buyer Common Shares as of a date on or after the Closing Date and which were paid or delivered between the Effective Time and the time of such surrender; provided that no such person shall be entitled to receive any interest on such dividends or other distributions. 1.8 Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Merger Shares shall be issued to former Company Stockholders upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such former Company Stockholders shall not be entitled to any voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or distributions or other rights as a stockholder of the Buyer with respect to any fractional Merger Shares that would have otherwise been issued to such former Company Stockholders. In lieu of any fractional Merger Shares that would have otherwise been issued, each former Company Stockholder that would -5-

have been entitled to receive a fractional Merger Share shall, upon proper surrender of such person's Certificates, receive a cash payment equal to $50.37 multiplied by the fraction of a share that such Company Stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive. 1.9 Options, Warrants and Restricted Stock. (a) As of the Effective Time, all Options, whether vested or unvested, and any Option Plan, insofar as it relates to Options outstanding under such Option Plan as of the Closing, shall be assumed by the Buyer, in such manner that the Buyer (i) is a corporation "assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) applies" within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code and the regulations thereunder or (ii) to the extent Section 424 of the Code does not apply to any such Options, would be such a corporation were Section 424 of the Code applicable to such Options, and in accordance with the provisions set forth below. Immediately after the Effective Time, each Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Option at the Effective Time, such number of Buyer Common Shares as is equal to the number of Common Shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Option multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each such assumed Option shall be equal to the exercise price of such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Common Conversion Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The term, exercisability, vesting schedule and all of the other terms of the Options shall otherwise remain unchanged. (b) As of the Effective Time, all Warrants that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by the Buyer. Immediately after the Effective Time, each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute a warrant to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Warrant at the Effective Time, such number of shares of Buyer Common Shares as is equal to the number of Common Shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Warrant multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each such assumed Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price of such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Common Conversion Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The term, exercisability, vesting schedule, and all of the other terms of the Warrant shall otherwise remain unchanged. (c) At the Effective Time, any Merger Consideration issued in accordance with Section 1.5 with respect to any unvested Restricted Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain subject to the same terms, restrictions and vesting schedule as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent by their terms as in effect as of the date hereof such unvested Restricted Stock vests, or such other provisions lapse, at the Effective Time; provided that to the extent any unvested Restricted Stock is not held in escrow by the Company, the Company shall take all necessary actions to require that all unvested Restricted Stock be held in escrow by the Company to be released in such amounts and at such times as the forfeiture provisions and repurchase rights lapse pursuant to the applicable restricted stock agreement. The Company shall not take or permit any action that would accelerate vesting of any unvested Restricted Stock, except to the extent required by the terms of any restricted stock agreements in effect on the date hereof. Copies of the relevant agreements governing such shares and the vesting thereof have been provided or made available in the electronic data room at least two business days prior to the execution of this Agreement to the Buyer. All outstanding rights that the Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time to repurchase unvested Restricted Stock shall be assigned to the Buyer in the Merger and shall thereafter apply to, and be exercisable by the Surviving Corporation or the Buyer with respect to, the Merger Consideration into -6-

which such unvested Restricted Stock was converted pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof. The Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.9(c) to occur. (d) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the holders of Options, Warrants and Restricted Stock appropriate notices setting forth such holders' rights pursuant to such Options, Warrants or Restricted Stock, as applicable, as amended by this Section 1.9, and the agreements evidencing such Options, Warrants or Restricted Stock, as applicable, and that such Options, Warrants or Restricted Stock shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the amendments provided for in this Section 1.9 and such notice). (e) The Buyer shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of Buyer Common Shares for delivery upon exercise or vesting, as the case may be, of the Options, Warrants and Restricted Stock assumed in accordance with this Section 1.9. Within 15 business days after the Effective Time, the Buyer shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act with respect to all Buyer Common Shares subject to the Options that may be registered on a Form S-8 (the "S-8 Registration Statement"), and shall use its Reasonable Best Efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the S-8 Registration Statement for so long as such Options remain outstanding. (f) The Company shall obtain, prior to the Closing, the consent from each holder of Options, Warrants or Restricted Stock to the amendment of such Option, Warrant or Restricted Stock pursuant to this Section 1.9 (unless such consent is not required under the terms of the applicable agreement, instrument or plan). 1.10 Adjustment Before and After the Closing. The Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (a) Not later than three business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a balance sheet of the Company as of a date (the "Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet Date") within five business days of the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet"). The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet set forth in this Section 1.10. The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by (i) all relevant backup materials and schedules, in detail reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, and (ii) a statement setting forth the amount, if any, by which the estimated Net Asset Value (the "Preliminary Net Asset Value") is greater than, or less than, the Target Amount. In calculating the Preliminary Net Asset Value, the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall include (A) as liabilities the full amount of the transaction fees and expenses payable by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including legal and accounting fees, to the extent such transaction fees and expenses have not been paid prior to the date of the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet; (B) accruals for commissions, bonuses, vacations, disputes, severance obligations and retention and change in control payments; and (C) reserves in respect of Taxes. Schedule II attached hereto reflects accruals and other items contemplated by the preceding sentence, including estimated amounts in respect thereof as of the date of this Agreement, that the Parties agree shall be reflected on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet. The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the calculations showing the basis for the determination of such sums. If the Preliminary Net Asset Value on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet is (i) greater than the Target Amount, then the difference shall be added to the Base Purchase Price, or (ii) less than the Target Amount, then the difference shall be deducted from the Base Purchase Price (the Base Purchase Price, as so adjusted, is referred to as the "Preliminary Base Purchase Price"). If the Preliminary Base Purchase Price is: -7-

(i) less than the Base Purchase Price, the Merger Consideration shall be reduced by a number of Buyer Common Shares equivalent to the amount of the deficiency divided by $50.37; provided however, that no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.10(a)(i) unless the Preliminary Net Asset Value is less than the Target Amount by an amount greater than $100,000; and (ii) greater than the Base Purchase Price, the Merger Consideration shall be increased by a number of Buyer Common Shares equivalent to the amount of the surplus divided by $50.37; provided however, that no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.10(a)(ii) unless the Preliminary Net Asset Value is greater than the Target Amount by an amount greater than $100,000. (b) Not later than 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Representative the Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the Company's past practices (to the extent such past practices are consistent with GAAP), except that the Closing Balance Sheet may exclude all footnotes, subject to the adjustments set forth in this Section 1.10 (which shall be in addition to and not in lieu of those required by GAAP) and shall be certified as such by the Buyer. (c) The Closing Balance Sheet delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be accompanied by (i) all relevant backup materials and schedules, in detail reasonably acceptable to the Representative, and (ii) a statement setting forth the amount, if any, by which the Net Asset Value is greater than, or less than, the Preliminary Net Asset Value. In calculating the Net Asset Value, the Closing Balance Sheet shall include as (A) liabilities the full amount of the transaction fees and expenses payable by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including legal and accounting fees, to the extent such transaction fees and expenses were not paid prior to the Effective Time; (B) accruals for commissions, bonuses, vacations, disputes, severance obligations and retention and change in control payments; and (C) reserves in respect of Taxes. Schedule II attached hereto reflects accruals and other items contemplated by the preceding sentence, including but not limited to, estimated amounts in respect thereof as of the date of this Agreement, that the Parties agree shall be reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the calculations showing the basis for the determination of such sums. (d) In the event that the Representative disputes the Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value Adjustment, the Representative shall notify the Buyer in writing (the "Dispute Notice") of the amount, nature and basis of such dispute, within 30 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet. Any such Dispute Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Representative disagrees, and the Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value Adjustment delivered pursuant to Sections 1.10(b) and 1.10(c). In the event of such a dispute, the Buyer and the Representative shall use their Reasonable Best Efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Closing Net Asset Value Adjustment, which amount shall not be less than the Buyer's calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.10(c) nor more than the Representative's calculation delivered pursuant to this Section 1.10(d). If the Buyer and the Representative are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, then any remaining items in dispute shall be submitted to an independent nationally recognized accounting firm selected in writing by the Representative and the Buyer (which shall not have any material relationship with the Buyer, the Representative or any Principal Stockholder) or, if the Representative and the Buyer fail or refuse to select a firm within 10 calendar days after written request therefor by the Representative or the Buyer, such an independent nationally recognized accounting firm shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the Boston, Massachusetts office of the AAA (the "Neutral Accountant"). All determinations and calculations pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Balance Sheet or the Buyer's calculation of Closing Net Asset -8-

Value as to which the Representative has disagreed, shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Buyer and the Representative as promptly as practicable. The determination of the Neutral Accountant as to the resolution of any dispute shall be binding and conclusive upon all Parties. A judgment on the determination made by the Neutral Accountant pursuant to this Section 1.10 may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereover. (e) The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant in connection with the resolution of disputes pursuant to paragraph (d) above shall be shared equally by the Company Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand; provided that if the Neutral Accountant determines that one such party has adopted a position or positions with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Closing Net Asset Value Adjustment that is frivolous or clearly without merit, the Neutral Accountant may, in its discretion, assign a greater portion of any such fees and expenses to such party. (f) Immediately upon the expiration of the 30-calendar day period for giving the Dispute Notice, if no such notice is given, or upon notification by the Representative to the Buyer, that no such notice will be given, or immediately upon the resolution of disputes, if any, pursuant to this Section 1.10, the Preliminary Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows (as so adjusted, the "Adjusted Base Purchase Price"): (i) If the Closing Net Asset Value Adjustment is negative, such deficiency shall be deducted from the Preliminary Base Purchase Price to obtain the Adjusted Base Purchase Price, and the Buyer shall be entitled to recover such deficiency pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement; (ii) If the Closing Net Asset Value Adjustment is zero, the Adjusted Base Purchase Price shall be equal to the Preliminary Base Purchase Price; and (iii) If the Closing Net Asset Value Adjustment is positive, such surplus shall be added to the Preliminary Base Purchase Price to obtain the Adjusted Base Purchase Price, and the Buyer shall deliver to the Exchange Agent a certificate representing a number of Buyer Common Shares equivalent to the amount of the surplus divided by $50.37. Such Buyer Common Shares shall be distributed by the Exchange Agent to the Company Stockholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 1.5(d) and 1.6(a), as applicable, including the deposit of 12.5% of such additional Buyer Common Shares in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. 1.11 Escrow Arrangements. On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to the Escrow Agent (i) a certificate (issued in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee) representing the Escrow Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(h) and (ii) a certificate (issued in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee) representing the Representative Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(h), in the case of the Escrow Shares, for the purpose of (A) providing security for any adjustment to the amount of the Preliminary Base Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.10 and (B) securing the indemnification obligations of the Company Stockholders set forth in Article VI, and in the case of the Representative Shares, for the purpose of securing funds to reimburse the Representative for fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Representative's obligations under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Shares and the Representative Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. The Escrow Shares and the Representative Shares shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. 1.12 Representative. -9-

(c) In the event that the Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Company Stockholders (acting by the vote of the Company Stockholders who immediately prior to the Effective Time held at least a majority of the outstanding Company Shares held by all Company Stockholders (voting on an as-converted to Common Share basis)) shall select another representative to fill the vacancy of the Representative initially chosen by the Company Stockholders, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the documents delivered pursuant hereto. (d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative, including without limitation any agreement between the Representative and the Buyer relating to the determination of the Net Asset Value and the Adjusted Base Purchase Price or the defense or settlement of any claims for which the Company Stockholders may be required to indemnify the Buyer and/or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Article VI hereof shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all Principal Stockholders and all Other Company Stockholders and shall be binding and conclusive upon each of such Persons and the Buyer, Surviving Corporation and Escrow Agent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction as being the decision, act, consent or instructions of each and every such Person. The Buyer, Surviving Corporation and Escrow Agent are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative. (e) At any time prior to the termination of the Escrow Agreement, the Representative may deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Buyer a notice, executed by the Representative (a "Reimbursement Notice"), which shall (i) state that the Representative and/or any of his or her agents or representatives has reasonably paid or incurred (or reasonably expects to pay or incur during the Escrow Period) fees and disbursements in connection with the performance of the Representative's obligations under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of -10-

legal counsel (a "Reimbursement Item"), (ii) state the aggregate amount of such Reimbursement Item and the amount of the Representative Shares necessary to satisfy the amount specified in the Reimbursement Item, and (iii) specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of each individual Reimbursement Item. The Escrow Agent shall, promptly upon receipt of such Reimbursement Notice, transfer to the Representative such amount as is equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Representative Shares claimed in the Reimbursement Notice or (B) the amount of any remaining Representative Shares. Within three business days following the termination of the Escrow Agreement, to the extent there are Representative Shares remaining at that time that have not been distributed to the Representative for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 1.12(e), the Escrow Agent shall release the remaining Representative Shares to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. (f) To the extent the Representative is entitled to be reimbursed for a Reimbursement Item pursuant to Section 1.12(e) above and has not been reimbursed for such Reimbursement Item pursuant to Section 1.12(e) above, then immediately prior to the termination of the Escrow Agreement and prior to delivery of any Escrow Shares to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and to the extent there are Escrow Shares remaining at that time that are not subject to Claimed Amounts, the Representative shall be entitled to receive an amount of Escrow Shares equal to the Reimbursement Item that has not been reimbursed pursuant to Section 1.12(e) above, or if there are not enough Escrow Shares remaining at such time, then the Representative shall be entitled to such lesser amount of Escrow Shares. (g) By his, her or its execution of this Agreement, each Principal Stockholder, and by his or her or its approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement, and/or their acceptance of any Buyer Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement, each Other Company Stockholder, agrees that: (i) the Buyer shall be able to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Representative as to the determination of the Net Asset Value and the Adjusted Base Purchase Price, the settlement of any claims for indemnification by the Buyer and/or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Article VI hereof or any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative hereunder, and no party shall have any cause of action against the Buyer for any action taken by the Buyer in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Representative; (ii) no Company Stockholder shall have any cause of action against the Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Representative under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful breach of this Agreement by the Representative; (iii) notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 1.12(e) and (f), the Representative shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company Stockholders for all fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in such capacity in connection with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and each Company Stockholder agrees to indemnify the Representative for all such amounts incurred in excess of the Representative Shares or amounts received pursuant to Section 1.12(f); provided however, that the liability of each Company Stockholder shall not exceed 125% of such Company Stockholder's pro rata share (based upon the ratio that the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to such Company Stockholder bears to the aggregate Merger Consideration) of such amount. (iv) the provisions of this Section 1.12 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Company Stockholder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; -11-

(v) remedies available at law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 1.12 are inadequate; therefore, the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving damages if either the Buyer and/or the Surviving Corporation brings an action to enforce the provisions of this Section 1.12; and (vi) the provisions of this Section 1.12 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of each Company Stockholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Company Stockholder or the Company Stockholders shall mean and include the successors to the Company Stockholder's rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise. 1.13 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws (a) The Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended at the Effective Time to read in its entirely immediately following the Effective Time as the Certificate of Incorporation of the Transitory Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the corporation set forth therein shall be changed to the name of the Company.

(a) The Buyer shall give written notification to the Representative of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within 20 calendar days after receipt by the Buyer of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent then known by the Buyer) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages. No delay or failure on the part of the Buyer in so notifying the Representative shall relieve the Company Stockholders of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.4(b) with respect to Tax Proceedings, within 20 calendar days after delivery of such notification, the Representative may, upon written notice thereof to the Buyer, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer; provided that (i) the Representative may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Buyer on behalf of all of the Company Stockholders that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Buyer in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Buyer shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VI, provided however, that in the case of a Third Party Action in which liability is asserted by the claimant in such Third Party Action against both the Company and the Buyer for independent actions, such acknowledgment of liability shall only be for such portion of the liability as is determined by the jury, court or other trier of fact in such Third Party Action to be the Company's liability; and (B) the ad damnum in such Third Party Action, taken together with the estimated costs of defense thereof and the Claimed Amount with respect to any unresolved claims for indemnification then pending, (1) with respect to any claims which, pursuant to Section 6.4, are limited to the Indemnification Escrow Shares, is less than or equal to the current balance of the Indemnification Escrow Shares (valued at $50.37 per share), or (2) with respect to any claims which, pursuant to Section 6.4, are not limited to the Indemnification Escrow Shares, is less than or equal to the current balance of the Indemnification Escrow Shares (valued at $50.37 per share) plus the aggregate additional liability of the Company Stockholders under Section 6.4(c) with respect to such claims, and (ii) the Representative may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Action involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Buyer. If the Representative does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Buyer shall control such defense. The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action.

Neither the Company Stockholders nor the Representative shall agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the consent of the Buyer shall not be required if the Representative, on behalf of all of the Company Stockholders, agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Buyer from further liability and has no other adverse effect on the Buyer. Except as provided in Section 6.2(f) below, the Buyer shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. -49-

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, the Buyer shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Representative. (c) Within 20 calendar days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Representative shall deliver to the Buyer a Response, in which the Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, shall: (i) agree that the Buyer is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a letter instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Buyer from the Escrow Shares a number of shares that if multiplied by a value of $50.37 per share will equal the Claimed Amount), (ii) agree that the Buyer is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a letter instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Buyer from the Escrow Shares a number of shares that if multiplied by a value of $50.37 per share will equal the Agreed Amount) or (iii) dispute that the Buyer is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. The Representative may contest the payment of all or a portion of the Claimed Amount only based upon a good faith belief that all or such portion of the Claimed Amount does not constitute Damages for which the Buyer is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI. If no Response is delivered by the Representative within such 20-calendar day period, the Company Stockholders shall be deemed to have agreed that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Buyer. Acceptance by the Buyer of partial payment of any Claimed Amount shall be without prejudice to the Buyer's right to claim the balance of any such Claimed Amount. (d) During the 30-calendar day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Representative and the Buyer shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 30-calendar day period, the Representative and the Buyer shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to binding arbitration, and if the Representative and the Buyer agree in writing to submit the Dispute to such arbitration, then the provisions of Section 6.2(e) shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. The provisions of this Section 6.2(d) shall not obligate the Representative and the Buyer to submit to arbitration or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure with respect to any Dispute, and in the absence of an agreement by the Representative and the Buyer to arbitrate a Dispute, such Dispute shall be resolved in a state or federal court sitting in the State of New York, in accordance with Section 12.11. If the Buyer is seeking to enforce the claim that is the subject of the Dispute pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Representative and the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the Escrow Shares shall be distributed to the Buyer (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute). (e) If, as set forth in Section 6.2(d), the Buyer and the Representative agree to submit any Dispute to binding arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") in accordance with the JAMS Rules in effect from time to time and the following provisions: (i) In the event of any conflict between the JAMS Rules in effect from time to time and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and be controlling; (ii) Either party shall commence the arbitration by filing a written submission with the New York, New York office of JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Rules (or any successor provision); (iii) All depositions or other discovery shall be conducted pursuant to the applicable U.S. federal rules relating to discovery; -50-

(iv) Not later than 30 calendar days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the Arbitrator shall prepare and distribute to the parties a writing setting forth the arbitral award and the Arbitrator's reasons therefor. Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction (subject to Section 12.11); (v) The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority, under the JAMS Rules or otherwise, to (x) modify or disregard any provision of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 6.2(e), or (y) address or resolve any issue not submitted by the parties; and (vi) In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Agreement, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, except that the fees and costs of the JAMS and the Arbitrator, the costs and expenses of obtaining the facility where the arbitration hearing is held, and such other costs and expenses as the Arbitrator may determine to be directly related to the conduct of the arbitration and appropriately borne jointly by the parties (which shall not include any party's attorneys' fees or costs, witness fees (if any), costs of investigation and similar expenses) shall be shared equally by the Buyer and the Company Stockholders. (f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.2, if a third party customer or vendor asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that the Buyer is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages, not in excess of $165,000 individually or $495,000 in the aggregate, for which the Buyer may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, and the Buyer reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) the Buyer shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Representative or the Company Stockholders, (ii) the Buyer may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, and (iii) the Buyer shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (subject to the right of the Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, to dispute the Buyer's entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VI). (g) The Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Company Stockholders to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Company Stockholders under this Article VI. The Representative shall have no liability to any Company Stockholders for any action taken or omitted on behalf of the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Article VI. 6.3 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

Except for claims based on fraud or knowing misrepresentation, all representations and warranties that are covered by the indemnification obligations in Section 6.1(a) shall expire on the date 18 months following the Closing Date; provided, however, the representations and warranties set forth in: (i) Sections 2.9, 2.24 and 2.25 shall survive for the duration of the period ending 30 calendar days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (ii) Section 2.14 shall survive for a period of three years following the Closing Date and (iii) Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.30 shall survive indefinitely. All matters described in this Section 6.3(a) that survive the expiration of the 18-month escrow period are collectively referred to herein as "Permitted Matters." -51-

(b) If the Buyer delivers to the Representative, before expiration of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or an Expected Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement then the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Buyer, the Buyer shall promptly so notify the Representative. The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VI shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Buyer or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by the Buyer, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder, or (ii) any waiver by the Buyer of any closing condition relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties or the performance of or compliance with agreements and covenants. 6.4 Limitations. (a) With respect to claims for Damages arising under Section 6.1(a), the Company Stockholders shall not be liable for any such Damages until the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds $750,000 (at which point the Company Stockholders shall become liable for all Damages under Section 6.1(a), and not just amounts in excess of $750,000); provided that the limitation set forth in this sentence shall not apply to (i) claims based on fraud or knowing misrepresentation or (ii) any claim pursuant to Section 6.1(a) relating to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2 (other than the last sentence of paragraph (b) thereof), 2.3, 2.9, 2.14, 2.24, 2.25 or 2.30. (b) Except for claims based on fraud or knowing misrepresentation, claims relating to any of the Permitted Matters and claims arising under Article VIII, (i) the Indemnification Escrow Shares under the Escrow Agreement shall be the exclusive means for the Buyer to collect any Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification under Article VI subsections 6.1(a), 6.1(b), 6.1(c), 6.1(d), 6.1(e) or 6.1(i) from any Company Stockholder and (ii) the Identified Contract Shares under the Escrow Agreement shall be the exclusive means for the Buyer to collect any Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification under Article VI subsections 6.1(f), 6.1(g) or 6.1(h) from any Company Stockholder.

In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Company Stockholders for Damages relating to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.14 exceed an amount equal to the value of the Indemnification Escrow Shares (calculated at $50.37 per share). (d) No Company Stockholder shall have any right of contribution against the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements. -52-

(e) Except with respect to claims based on fraud or knowing misrepresentation and claims arising under Article VIII, after the Closing, the rights of the Buyer under this Article VI shall be the exclusive remedy of the Buyer with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement.

(c) If the Buyer has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to the Company Stockholders and after having done so the prospectus is amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Buyer shall promptly notify the Company Stockholders and, if requested by the Buyer, the Company Stockholders shall immediately cease making offers or sales of shares under the Stockholder Registration Statement and return all prospectuses to the Buyer. The Buyer shall promptly provide the Company Stockholders with revised or supplemented prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised or supplemented prospectuses, the Company Stockholders shall be free to resume making offers and sales under the Stockholder Registration Statement. (d) The Buyer shall pay the expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this Article VII, including all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, fees and expenses of counsel for the Buyer, and fees and expenses of accountants for the Buyer, but excluding (i) any -54-

The Buyer shall have the right to assume the defense and settlement of any claim or suit for which the Buyer may be responsible for indemnification under this Section 7.5. 7.6 Assignment of Rights.

(b) The Buyer shall prepare and timely file or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all Tax Returns not filed on or before the Closing Date, including Tax Returns which were required to be filed before the Closing but were not filed and all other Tax Returns with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary or in respect of their businesses, assets or operations. The Buyer shall make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns; provided, however, that the Company Stockholders shall promptly reimburse the Buyer to the extent any payment the Buyer is required to make relates to the operations of the Company or any Subsidiary for any period ending (or deemed pursuant to Section 8.3(b) to end) on or before the Closing Date to the extent such portion of the payment exceeds the amount of the -56-

accruals for Taxes (excluding accruals and reserves for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet. (c) Any Tax Return to be prepared and filed by the Buyer for taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous similar Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Tax Return to be prepared and filed by the Buyer for taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date shall not be filed without the prior written consent of the Representative. The Representative shall provide all reasonable assistance to the Buyer in connection with the preparation of such Tax Returns. 8.2 Tax Indemnification by the Company Stockholders. (a) The Company Stockholders shall indemnify the Buyer, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries in respect of, and hold the Buyer, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries harmless against (x) any and all Damages resulting from, relating to, or constituting a breach of any representation contained in Section 2.9 hereof, (y) any and all Damages resulting from, relating to, or constituting any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in Article IV relating to Taxes or in this Article VIII, and (z) without duplication, the following Taxes with respect to the Surviving Corporation, the Company and the Subsidiaries: (i) Any and all Taxes due and payable by the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any Subsidiary for any taxable period that ends (or is deemed pursuant to Section 8.3(b) to end) on or before the Closing Date in excess of any accruals for current Taxes (excluding accruals and reserves for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) on the Closing Balance Sheet; (ii) Any liability of such entities for Taxes of other entities whether pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or comparable or similar provision under state, local or foreign law), as transferee or successor or pursuant to any contractual obligation for any taxable period that ends (or is deemed pursuant to Section 8.3(b) to end) on or before the Closing Date; and (iii) Any sales, use, transfer, stamp, conveyance, value added, recording, registration, documentary, filing or other similar Taxes and fees, whether levied on the Buyer, the Company Stockholders, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, resulting from the Merger or otherwise on account of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 8.3 Allocation of Certain Taxes. (a) If the Surviving Corporation or the Company is permitted, but not required, under applicable foreign, state or local Tax laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, such day shall be treated as the last day of a taxable period. (b) The portion of any Taxes for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing allocable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to equal (i) in the case of Taxes that (x) are based upon or related to income or receipts or (y) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property, other than Taxes described in Section 8.2(a)(iii), the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (including property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending with the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. For purposes of the provisions of Section 8.2, each portion of such period shall -57-

be deemed to be a taxable period (whether or not it is in fact a taxable period). For purposes of computing the Taxes attributable to the two portions of a taxable period pursuant to this Section 8.3(b), the amount of any item that is taken into account only once for each taxable period (e.g., the benefit of graduated tax rates, exemption amounts, etc.) shall be allocated between the two portions of the period in proportion to the number of days in each portion. 8.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters. (a) The Buyer and the Representative shall cooperate in (i) the preparation of all Tax Returns for any Tax periods and (ii) the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, for which one party could reasonably require the assistance of the other party in obtaining any necessary information. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, furnishing prior years' Tax Returns or return preparation packages illustrating previous reporting practices or containing historical information relevant to the preparation of such Tax Returns, and furnishing such other information within such party's possession requested by the other party as is relevant to the preparation of the Tax Returns or the conduct of the Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation and information also shall include without limitation promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices and forms or other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Entity which relate to the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any Subsidiary, and providing copies of all relevant Tax Returns, together with accompanying schedules and related work papers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by any Governmental Entity and records concerning the ownership and tax basis of property, which the requested party may possess. (b) If, subsequent to the Closing, any of the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the Company Stockholders receives notice of a claim by any Governmental Entity that, if successful, might result in any payment pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof (a "Tax Claim"), then within 15 calendar days after receipt of such notice, the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the Representative, as the case may be, shall give written notice of such Tax Claim to the other parties. The Buyer shall control any Tax Proceeding with respect to a Tax Claim relating to a Tax period beginning after the Closing Date. The Representative shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding with respect to a Tax Claim relating to a Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Tax Proceeding which may affect the Tax liability of the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date, the Representative shall consult with the Buyer with respect to the resolution of such Tax Proceeding, and not resolve such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Representative and the Buyer shall jointly control any Tax Proceeding with respect to a Tax Claim relating to a Tax period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date. If the Representative has the right to control any Tax Proceeding but elects in writing not to do so, then the Buyer shall control such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that the Buyer shall keep the Representative informed of all material developments on a timely basis and the Buyer shall not resolve such Tax Proceeding in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the Company Stockholders' indemnification obligations under this Agreement without the Representative's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each party shall bear its own costs for participating in any Tax Proceeding. 8.5 Termination of Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving the Company or any Subsidiary shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods ending on or before the Closing Date. -58-

8.6 Scope of Article VIII. To the extent not inconsistent with the procedures for Tax Proceedings set forth in this Article VIII, any claim by the Buyer under this Article VIII shall be pursued in accordance with the procedures for indemnification claims, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or condition of Article VI, (i) claims under this Article VIII may be made by the Buyer any time prior to the 30th day after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the Tax matter to which the claim relates and (ii) to the extent there is any inconsistency between the terms of Article VI and this Article VIII with respect to the allocation of responsibility between the Company Stockholders and the Buyer for Taxes, the provisions of this Article VIII shall govern. There shall be no double counting of any indemnification obligation under Article VI and Article VIII. Except as set forth in Section 6.4(c), any limitation upon the Company Stockholders indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 6.4 shall not apply to any claim made by the Buyer under this Article VIII. ARTICLE IX POST-CLOSING AGREEMENTS 9.1 Proprietary Information. (a) From and after the Closing, the Principal Stockholders shall not disclose or make use of any information relating to the business of the Company or the Surviving Corporation that provides the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Buyer with a competitive advantage (or that could be used to the disadvantage of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Buyer by a Competitive Business), which is not generally known by persons outside the Company (collectively referred to herein as "Proprietary Information"). Proprietary Information shall not include such information that the Principal Stockholders can demonstrate (i) is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a disclosure by a Principal Stockholder), or (ii) was disclosed to the Principal Stockholders by a third party under no obligation to keep such information confidential, or (iii) was independently developed by the Principal Stockholders without reference to Proprietary Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Stockholders shall have no obligation hereunder to keep confidential any of the Proprietary Information to the extent disclosure thereof is required by law or regulation; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by law or regulation, the Principal Stockholders shall use Reasonable Best Efforts (to the extent legally permitted) to provide the Buyer with prompt advance notice of such requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order. (b) Each Principal Stockholder agrees that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 9.1 would be inadequate and that the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy it may have upon breach of any provision of this Section 9.1. 9.2 No Solicitation of Former Employees. Except (i) as provided by law, (ii) through general solicitation such as a newspaper or trade publication, or (iii) by solicitation by a head hunter or placement professional not expressly targeted at such employee, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, no Principal Stockholder or Controlled Affiliate thereof shall directly or indirectly recruit, solicit or induce any person who was an employee or subcontractor of the Company or any of Subsidiary on the date hereof or the Closing Date to terminate his or her employment with, or otherwise cease their relationship with, the Buyer (or the Surviving Corporation) (or any of their respective subsidiaries, as the case may be) or to become an employee of such Principal Stockholder or Controlled Affiliate. -59-

9.3 Non Competition Agreement. (a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, no Non-competition Party shall directly or indirectly, whether as a partner, officer, director, employee, stockholder, joint venturer, member, investor (other than in his or her capacity as an employee of the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or as the holder of not more than five percent (5%) of the total outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) or otherwise: (i) engage in, operate or establish any aspect of the business of the Company as such business has been conducted or had on the Closing Date planned to be conducted by the Company, or, if such Non-competition Party becomes an employee of the Buyer, the business of the Buyer, in any county in any state of the United States of America, or any country within the European Union; or (ii) solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away, the business or patronage of any individual, corporation or other entity which was or is a prospective client, customer or account of the Surviving Corporation or the Buyer or any of their respective subsidiaries on the Closing Date, or had been a client, customer or account of the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Buyer or any of their respective subsidiaries within a period of two years prior to the Closing Date. (b) Each of the Parties and the Non-competition Parties agrees that the duration and geographic scope of the non-competition provision set forth in this Section 9.3 are reasonable. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the duration or the geographic scope, or both, are unreasonable and that such provision is to that extent unenforceable, the each of the Parties and the Non-competition Parties agrees that the provision shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest area that would not render it unenforceable. Each of the Parties and the Non-competition Parties intends that this non-competition provision shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America where this provision is intended to be effective. Each of the Non-competition Parties agrees that damages are an inadequate remedy for any breach of this provision and that the Buyer shall, whether or not it is pursuing any potential remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of preliminary and permanent injunctions without bond or other security upon any actual or threatened breach of this non-competition provision. (c) The Non-competition Parties acknowledge that their ownership of Company Shares represents a substantial interest in the Company and each Non-competition Party intends to transfer to the Buyer the goodwill reflected in the Company Shares owned by such Non-competition Party. The Non-competition Parties further acknowledge that the Buyer would not enter into this Agreement but for the restrictions in this Section 9.3. (d) If a Non-competition Party violates the terms of this Section 9.3, such Non-competition Party shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein until a period of three years has expired without any violations of this Section. 9.4 Buyer Breach and Support. Upon the Closing and continuing until the six-month anniversary thereof, the Buyer shall not (i) knowingly breach any of the contracts listed on Schedule IV and Schedule VII, unless the conduct giving rise to such breach is substantially similar to the conduct of the Company with respect to such contract prior to the Closing, and (ii) redeploy or terminate the employment of any of the individuals listed on Schedule IX, other than for cause, unless the Buyer -60-

provides substitute personnel or other substantially similar resources to maintain the contracts listed on Schedule IV and Schedule VII. ARTICLE X TERMINATION 10.1 Termination of Agreement.

The Representative shall send a copy of any Response to the Buyer at the same time such Response is sent to the Escrow Agent. 4.9 If the Escrow Agent receives a Response from the Representative in connection with the Section 6.1(f) Notice or Customer Contract Notice (other than a Response covered by Section 4.8 above) within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt by the Representative of such notice, the Escrow Agent will, in respect of such notice, release to the Buyer a number of Identified Contract Shares specified in such Response equal to the Agreed Amount (if any), in which case the Response shall reflect the number of Identified Contract Shares equal to the Agreed Amount and calculated as specified in Section 4.1 above, within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such Response; provided that, if the Response does not set forth the number of Identified Contract Shares equal to the Agreed Amount, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Response, (1) This date will be 10 months following the Closing Date.

the Buyer may provide such number of Identified Contract Shares, based upon the Agreed Amount divided by $50.37, to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative), in which case the Escrow Agent will release to the Buyer the number of Identified Contract Shares set forth in such notice provided by the Buyer. 4.10 In case the Representative shall provide a Response with respect to the Section 6.1(f) Notice or Customer Contract Notice in accordance with Section 4.9 above, during the thirty (30) calendar day period following delivery of the Response, the Representative and Buyer shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of a Response involving a Dispute, the Representative and the Buyer are unable to agree on a resolution of the matter, the parties shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to binding arbitration, and if the Representative and the Buyer agree in writing to submit the Dispute to such arbitration, then the provisions of Section 6.2(e) of the Merger Agreement shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall not obligate the Representative or the Buyer to submit to arbitration or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure with respect to any Dispute, and in the absence of an agreement by the Representative and the Buyer to arbitrate a Dispute, such Dispute shall be resolved in a state or federal court sitting in the State of New York, in accordance with Section 12.11 of the Merger Agreement. The Representative and the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), a written notice executed by both parties setting forth such resolution (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute) and instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Buyer the number of Identified Contract Shares (if any) set forth in such notice. 4.11 At any time and from time to time prior to [___________], 2008(2) (such date, the "Termination Date"), the Representative may deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Buyer a notice, executed by the Representative (a "Reimbursement Notice"), which shall (i) state that the Representative and/or any of his or her agents or representatives has reasonably paid or incurred (or reasonably expects to pay or incur following the Termination Date) fees and disbursements in connection with the performance of the Representative's obligations under the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of legal counsel (a "Reimbursement Item"), (ii) state the aggregate amount of such Reimbursement Item and the amount of Representative Shares necessary to satisfy the amount specified in the Reimbursement Item, and (iii) specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of each individual Reimbursement Item. The Escrow Agent shall, promptly upon receipt of such Reimbursement Notice, release to the Representative such amount as is equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Representative Shares claimed in the Reimbursement Notice or (B) the amount of any remaining Representative Shares. Within three (3) Business Days following the Termination Date, to the extent there are Representative Shares remaining at that time that have not been distributed to the Representative for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.11, the Escrow Agent shall release the remaining Representative Shares to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders. 4.12 To the extent the Representative is entitled to be reimbursed for a Reimbursement Item pursuant to Section 4.11 above and has not been reimbursed for such Reimbursement Item pursuant to Section 4.11 above, then immediately prior to the Termination Date and (2) This date will be 18 months following the Closing Date.

prior to delivery of any Escrow Shares to the Company Stockholders, and to the extent there are Escrow Shares remaining at that time that are not subject to Claimed Amounts, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Representative an amount of Escrow Shares (valued at the closing sale price of the Buyer Common Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on The NASDAQ Stock Market on the last business day prior to the release of such shares, as provided in writing to the Escrow Agent by the Representative) equal to the Reimbursement Item that has not been reimbursed pursuant to Section 4.11 above, or if there are not enough Escrow Shares remaining at such time, then the Representative shall be entitled to such lesser amount of Escrow Shares. 4.13 Within three (3) Business Days after the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders all remaining Escrow Shares then held by the Escrow Agent less the number of Escrow Shares, if any, that will equal all amounts that are either subject to any unresolved Claim Notices, Expected Claim Notices (including any amounts subject to litigation under the terms of this Agreement) or are under Dispute in connection with the Section 6.1(f) Notice or Customer Contract Notice, or are due to be released or disbursed under a Claim Notice or an Expected Claim Notice or written notice of release pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement. In the event that any Escrow Shares are not released to the Exchange Agent pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.13, then any such remaining Escrow Shares shall be released or disbursed only in accordance with Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 hereof. 4.14 The Escrow Agent shall, promptly after each release or disbursement of the Escrow Shares set forth in this Section 4, deliver to the Representative and the Buyer a notice setting forth the aggregate number of the Escrow Shares so released or disbursed to the Exchange Agent, for distribution to the Company Stockholders, or to the Buyer and the balance of the Escrow Shares as of such date. ARTICLE V Transferability. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the interest of the Company Stockholders, the Buyer, or the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Shares shall not be assignable or transferable, other than by operation of law; or otherwise unless each such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if he were an original party hereto and further provided that the assignor provides the other parties hereto prior written notice of such assignment or transfer. The Escrow Shares shall be held as a trust fund and none of the Company Stockholders or any party hereto shall pledge, grant a lien or other security interest, grant an option or otherwise encumber its interests in the Escrow Shares. Any assignment, transfer or encumbrance of an interest in the Escrow Shares in violation of this Section 5 shall be void. ARTICLE VI Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon release, in accordance with the provisions hereof, of all Escrow Shares. The obligations of the Buyer and the Company Stockholders to pay accrued fees to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 8.7 hereof and of the Buyer and the Company Stockholders to indemnify the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 8.8 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement or replacement of the Escrow Agent hereunder. ARTICLE VII No Creditor Rights. The Buyer and the Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive Escrow Shares solely in accordance with the terms hereof. No creditor of the Buyer, the Company, the Exchange Agent or the Company Stockholders will have any rights in or to the Escrow Shares so long as such Escrow Shares remain subject to the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII Matters Relating to the Escrow Agent. 8.1 The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement. Unless otherwise determined in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of a claim, or demand with respect thereto, or any waiver, modification, amendment, termination, cancellation, or revision of this Agreement, unless it is in writing and signed by the Buyer and the Representative, and received by the Escrow Agent, and, if the Escrow Agent's duties as Escrow Agent hereunder are affected, unless the Escrow Agent shall have given its prior written consent thereto. 8.2 The Escrow Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written instructions or notices furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity or accuracy of any such document, including any numerical calculation of disbursement amounts contained therein. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to solicit any funds that may be deliverable to it under the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing jointly by the Buyer and the Representative or by a final order. 8.3 The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights and powers conferred upon it by this Agreement (other than actions or inactions in bad faith or for its gross negligence or willful misconduct), and may consult with outside counsel of its own choice and will be fully protected for any action taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the written opinion of such counsel. 8.4 Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all the escrow business of such Escrow Agent's corporate trust line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act upon at least 60 days' prior written notice to the Buyer and the Representative; provided that the Buyer and the Representative shall have the right within 30 days after receiving any such notice to appoint a different escrow agent, as determined by mutual agreement. 8.5 The Escrow Agent may resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Buyer and the Representative specifying a date (not less than 30 days after the giving of such notice) when such resignation shall take effect; provided, however, that such resignation shall not become effective until a successor escrow agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment in writing and all consideration held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement has been transferred to such successor escrow agent. Promptly after such notice, the Buyer and the Representative will, by mutual agreement, appoint a successor escrow agent, such successor escrow agent to hold the consideration theretofore deposited with such Escrow Agent upon the resignation date specified in such

notice. If a successor escrow agent is not appointed within 30 days after written notice of resignation by the Escrow Agent is received by the Buyer and the Representative, such Escrow Agent shall have the right to petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent. 8.6 The Buyer and the Representative may by mutual agreement at any time substitute a new escrow agent(s) by giving 15 days' notice thereof to the Escrow Agent then acting. The Escrow Agent shall continue to serve until its successor accepts the escrow and receives delivery of all consideration held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement. 8.7 The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company Stockholders, on the other hand, shall each (i) pay to the Escrow Agent 50% its service fees as stated in Exhibit A attached hereto, and (ii) reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for 50% of all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances, including (1) overnight delivery service charges and (2) reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or made by it in connection with carrying out its duties hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall invoice each of the Buyer and the Representative (with respect to obligations of the Company Stockholders) separately in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.7. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to release any Escrow Shares hereunder to the Representative or the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders if, at the time such Escrow Shares are to be released in accordance with this Agreement, there are any outstanding fees and expenses attributable to the Company Stockholders payable to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon payment of all such outstanding fees and expenses attributable to Company Stockholders, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release such Escrow Shares in accordance with this Agreement. 8.8 The Buyer and the Company Stockholders, jointly and severally, each agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its respective shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees for, and to hold them harmless as to any liability, claims, suits, actions, proceedings (formal and informal), investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settlements, incurred by it by reason of, or relating to, it having accepted such appointment or in carrying out the terms and its duties hereof, other than as incurred by reason of such Escrow Agent's gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 8.9 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any of the agreements referred to or described herein (including, without limitation, the Merger Agreement), or for determining or compelling compliance therewith, and shall not otherwise be bound thereby. The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in this Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance due to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. 8.10 The Escrow Agent is authorized to comply with and obey all laws, orders, judgments, decrees, and regulations of any governmental authority, court, tribunal, or arbitrator. If the Escrow Agent so complies, it shall not be liable even if such law, order, judgment,

decree, or regulation is subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated, or found to have been entered without jurisdiction. ARTICLE IX Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and will be delivered by hand or sent, postage prepaid, by express mail or reputable overnight courier service, in each case where there is confirmation of delivery, and will be deemed given on the earlier of (a) the date of actual receipt, or (b) five (5) Business Days after being so mailed (two (2) Business Days in the case of overnight courier service).

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of

EXHIBIT C-1 FORM OF LW OPINION [______], 2007 Akamai Technologies, Inc. 8 Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02142 Re: Merger Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2007, by and among Akamai Technologies, Inc., Lode Star Acquisition Corp., Netli, Inc. and certain other signatories thereto Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as special counsel to Netli, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Netli"), in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Merger Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Akamai Technologies, Inc., Lode Star Acquisition Corp., Netli, Inc. and certain other signatories thereto. As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter, except where a specific fact confirmation procedure is stated to have been performed (in which case we have with your consent performed the stated procedure), and except where a statement is qualified as to knowledge (in which case we have with your consent made no or limited inquiry as specified below). We have examined, among other things, the following: (a) the Merger Agreement; (b) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Netli, each as in effect on the date hereof (together, the "Company Governing Documents"); (c) the agreements identified to us by an officer of Netli as material to Netli and listed in Exhibit A (collectively, the "Listed Agreements")(3); (d) a certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as to the valid existence and good standing of Netli under the laws of the State of Delaware as of [______], 2007; (e) a certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of California as to the qualification of Netli to transact intrastate business as a foreign corporation in the State of California as of [______], 2007; (f) resolutions adopted by the unanimous written consent of Netli's Board of Directors on February 2, 2007, as certified by the Secretary of Netli, relating to the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Netli of its obligations under, the Merger Agreement; (3) Listed Agreements shall include: the top 25 customer or reseller contracts (determined by revenue as of the signing date); contracts numbered 1-3 on Section 2.2(e) of the Disclosure Schedule, to the extent they survive Closing; all warrants outstanding at the Effective Time; Mountain view real property lease.

(g) resolutions adopted by the stockholders of Netli on February [__], 2007, relating to the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement; and (h) the minute books and stock records of Netli in our possession as of the date hereof, which Netli has certified to us as accurate and complete. With your consent we have relied upon the foregoing, including the representations and warranties of Netli in the Merger Agreement, and upon certificates of officers of Netli, with respect to certain factual matters. We have not independently verified such factual matters. Whenever a statement herein is qualified by "to the best of our knowledge" or a similar phrase, it is intended to indicate that those attorneys in this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement do not have current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement. However, except as otherwise expressly indicated, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of any such statement. We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the federal laws of the United States, the internal laws of the State of California and, solely with respect to paragraphs 1, 2, 3(i), 3(iii) and 3(iv) of this letter, the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "DGCL"), and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Our opinions herein are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable in transactions of the type contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Various issues pertaining to enforceability of the Merger Agreement are addressed in the opinion of Richards, Layton & Finger, separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein. Subject to the foregoing and to the qualifications set forth below it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof: 1. Netli is a corporation under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") with the corporate power and authority to enter into the Merger Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder. Based solely on the certificates from public officials referred to in clauses (d) and (e) above, we confirm that Netli is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business in the State of California. 2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Netli, and the Merger Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Netli. 3. The execution and delivery by Netli of the Merger Agreement, and the consummation by Netli of the transactions contemplated thereby, on the date hereof do not: (i) violate the provisions of the Company Governing Documents; (ii) result in the breach of or default under any of the Listed Agreements; (iii) violate the DGCL, or any federal or California statute, rule or regulation generally applicable to Netli; (iv) with the exception of [______], require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by Netli from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be

made by Netli with, any governmental authority, under the DGCL, or any federal or California statute, rule, regulation applicable to Netli on or prior to the date hereof that have not been obtained or made; or (v) upon consummation of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), all then outstanding options and warrants to acquire capital stock of Netli shall be converted into options and warrants to acquire shares of Buyer Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in accordance with Section 1.9 of the Merger Agreement. 4. To the best of our knowledge, and except as set forth in Section 2.19 of the Disclosure Schedule of the Merger Agreement, there is no Legal Proceeding which is pending or has been threatened in writing against Netli or any Subsidiary. With respect to the foregoing opinion, we have not performed any court docket searches or other investigation. Our opinions are subject to: (a) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally; (b) the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (c) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions for the indemnification of a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification is contrary to public policy; and (d) we express no opinion with respect to (i) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (ii) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (iii) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (iv) covenants not to compete; (v) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (vi) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (vii) grants of setoff rights; (viii) provisions to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor, and not as a surety; (ix) provisions for the payment of attorneys' fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy and we call your attention to the provisions of Section 1717s and 1717.5 of the California Civil Code, which limit and create obligations for the payment of attorneys' fees; (x) proxies, powers and trusts; (xi) except as set forth in paragraph 3(ii) of this letter, provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property; (xii) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; and (xiii) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect. We express no opinion as to securities laws, tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, pension or employee benefit laws, environmental laws or other laws excluded by customary practice. Insofar as our opinions require interpretations of the Listed Agreements, with your consent, (i) we have assumed that all courts of competent jurisdiction would enforce such agreements in accordance with their plain meaning, (ii) to the extent that any questions of legality or legal construction have arisen in connection with our review, we have applied the laws of the State of California in resolving such

questions, although certain of the Listed Agreements may be governed by other laws, and (iii) we express no opinion with respect to any matters which require the performance of a mathematical calculation or the making of a financial or accounting determination. With your consent, we have assumed (a) that the Merger Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, each of the parties thereto other than Netli, (b) the Merger Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (c) that the status of the Merger Agreement as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent we have specifically opined as to such matters with respect to Netli herein. In addition, we have been asked to provide certain information concerning the capitalization of Netli. Based solely upon a certificate of an officer of Netli delivered to us in connection herewith and our review of the stock records and the minute books relating to meetings and written actions of the Board of Directors of Netli in our possession as of the date hereof, as the case may be, without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, there were [_____] Common Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), [_____] Series A Preferred Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), [_____] Series B Preferred Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), [_____] Series B-1 Preferred Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), [_____] Series C Preferred Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and [_____] shares Series D Preferred Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing contemplated by the Merger Agreement and such shares have been duly authorized, fully paid and are non-assessable. Although we have no knowledge that the information as to Netli's capital stock provided by Netli and reflected above is incorrect, based on the limited examination referred to above, we are not in a position to verify its accuracy or completeness, other than to say that the records provided to us are not inconsistent with such information. This letter is furnished only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph. This letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to or relied upon by any other person, firm or other entity for any purpose, without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our discretion. Very truly yours, ----------------------------------------

The Company (a) is a wholly foreign owned enterprise duly established and validly existing as a foreign investment enterprise with limited liability under PRC laws; (b) is an independent legal entity capable of suing, being sued and entering into contractual relationship with binding force with any party; (c) has the lawful power and authority (i) to conduct Business (as defined in its business license) and (ii) to assume civil liability with respect to its assets; and (d) is currently and has been, since its formation, in compliance with all applicable PRC laws and regulations for the establishment and operation of the company; (e) has passed the annual inspection for the year 2005 carried out by the relevant PRC authorities in respect of its business license; and (f) has passed the annual inspection for the IDC license for the year 2005 in accordance with our inquires with .the Beijing Administration of Telecommunications. 3.2 TOTAL INVESTMENT & REGISTERED CAPITAL The Company's original approved total investment is USD three hundred and seventy five thousand [USD 375,000] and approved registered capital is USD two hundred and sixty two thousand and five hundred [USD 262,500]. According to Beijing Wanlong Songde Certified Public Accountants Co., Ltd.'s verification report, by Aug 15, 2006, the Company had fully contributed its registered capital of USD two hundred and sixty two thousand and five hundred [USD262,500]. On Jan 17, 2007, the Company obtained an updated Certificate of Approval from Beijing Foreign Investment Committee, authorizing the increase of the registered capital of the Company to USD five hundred and twenty five thousand [USD 525,000] and the total investment to USD seven hundred and fifty thousand [USD 750,000]. However, the capital verification report reflecting the capital increase of the Company has not been provided to us by the Company. There is no evidence suggesting that the increased registered capital has been fully contributed by the Target Company as the date of this Opinion. 3.3 The Target Company has good and valid title to 100% equity interest in the registered capital of the Company. The above-mentioned title is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, pledges, disputes or claims. 3.4 BUSINESS SCOPE As reflected in the current Certificate of Approval and the current Business License of the Company, the Company has been approved and authorized by the competent PRC authority the business scope of "not to engage in any business which is prohibited under law, regulation or state foreign-investment industry policy; not to engage in any business for which approval is required under law or regulation or which is restricted under state foreign-investment enterprise policy without obtaining approval; and self-selected business and development of economic activities in which neither law nor regulation requires approval and which is not restricted under state foreign investment industry policy." 3.5 APPROVALS, LICENSES, CONSENTS & REGISTRATION The Company has obtained from the relevant PRC governmental, regulatory and other authorities including Business License, Certificate of Approval, and complied with, all valid and lawful licenses, approvals, consents and permits necessary for its due incorporation and valid existence and the carrying on of its business effectively and without hindrance in the manner and in the place where its registered address is

located and places in which its business is now carried on and to own its assets and there are no circumstances which might lead to the suspension, alteration or cancellation of any such licenses, approvals, consents and permits, nor is there any agreement which materially restricts the fields within which it may carry on the PRC Business. 3.6 Yi Tong is entitled to perform Internet Data Center services ("IDC SERVICES") in Beijing under its IDC License. Pursuant to the Exclusive Technical Consulting and Services Agreement, the Company's business consists of the provision of various technical services to Yi Tong relating to Yi Tong's performance of services under its IDC license. 3.7 According to PRC laws and regulations and the results of consultation with the Ministry of Information Industry ("MII") regarding the qualification of the entity that can engage in IDC services in PRC, only a purely domestic funded company can engage in IDC services. Yi Tong, as a domestic funded company, was granted a local IDC License [ No._B2-20050073 ] by Beijing Administration of Telecommunications. Therefore, Yi Tong is entitled to engage in IDC services in Beijing but not elsewhere in the PRC. The services stipulated in the Exclusive Technical Consulting and Services Agreement entered into by and between the Company and Yi Tong are permissible and said Agreement is valid and effective. The Company has no other Value Added Telecommunications Service Operation Licenses but Yi Tong's affiliate, Chengdu Yi Tong Rui Jin Information Technology Co., Ltd (______________), was granted a local IDC License No._B2-20050261 by Sichuan Administration of Telecommunications. Therefore, Chengdu Yi Tong Rui Jin Information Technology Co., Ltd is entitled to engage in IDC services in Sichuan but not elsewhere in the PRC. 3.8 Unless otherwise specified below in this Opinion, each of the Transaction Documents executed prior to the date of this Opinion and governed by the laws of the PRC is valid and binding on all the parties thereto. 3.9 According to the PROVISIONS ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF FOREIGN-FUNDED TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENTERPRISE issued by the State Council of China (the "PROVISIONS") and the CIRCULAR OF THE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION INDUSTRY ON INTENSIFYING THE ADMINISTRATION OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN VALUE-ADDED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES issued by MII (the "Circular"), a wholly foreign owned enterprise is not allowed to engage in value-added telecommunication services in PRC, and "A domestic telecommunications enterprise shall not lease, transfer or sell for profits any license for telecommunications business by any means or in any disguised form, or provide such conditions as resources, places and facilities for any foreign investor to engage in any illegal telecommunications operation in any form within the territory of China." Therefore, when the Management Agreement is terminated in accordance with the Circular, the arrangements contemplated in the surviving Transaction Documents shall be in compliance with the Provisions and the Circular. 3.10 When the Consulting Agreement between the Company and Ning Libo and the Consulting Agreement between the Company and Xie Lian (collectively referred to as the "CONSULTING AGREEMENTS") are terminated, the arrangements contemplated in the surviving Transaction Documents shall be in compliance with the Provisions and the Circular. 3.11 The Indemnification Agreement by and between the Company and Ning Libo is valid and enforceable on its terms. 3.12 When the Undertaking and Declaration of Trust by and between Ning Libo and AJ Technologies Limited and the Undertaking and Declaration of Trust by and between Xie Lian and

AJ Technologies Limited (collectively referred to as the "TRUST AGREEMENTS") are terminated, the arrangements contemplated in the surviving Transaction Documents shall be in compliance with the Provisions and the Circular. 3.13 The pledges of stock of the Members of Yi Tong under the Stock Pledge Agreement shall be valid and effective under the PRC SECURITY LAW and its INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BY THE SUPREME PEOPLE'S COURT OF THE PRC upon recordation in the Register of Members of Yi Tong. 3.14 The execution of the Equity Transfer Option Agreement with Xie Lian and Ning Libo and the realization by the Company of its rights thereunder do not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of the Articles of Association of the Company or any law, public rule or regulation applicable to the Company in PRC currently in force. Assuming the PRC government permits entities like the Company to hold IDC licenses in China on a joint venture or wholly foreign-owned enterprise bases, the Agreement herein can be enforceable at that time. 3.15 Unless otherwise described in this Opinion, the arrangements between the Company, Yi Tong and each of Yi Tong's shareholders, as reflected in the Transaction Documents, are valid and effective and not subject to any encumbrances or liens, and do not violate any laws or regulations of the PRC. 3.16 The Legal Representative of the Company has full power and authority under its Articles of Association to execute and deliver the transaction documents to which the Company is a Party. 3.17 Neither the execution and delivery by the Target Company or the Company of the transaction documents, nor the consummation by the Target Company or the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby: (i) conflicts with or violates any provision of the Articles of Association of the Company as amended or restated to date; or, to our knowledge based on due inquiry of the Company; (ii) conflicts with, results in a breach of, constitutes (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, results in the acceleration of, creates in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel or requires any notice, consent or waiver (which has not been obtained) under any contract, lease, sublease, license, sublicense, franchise, permit indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; or (iii) results in the imposition of any security interest upon any assets of the Company.. 3.18 To our knowledge based on due inquiry of the Company, there are no legal or administrative proceedings pending or threatened in writing against the Company or with respect to its business with Yi Tong as described herein, nor are either the Company or Yi Tong in violation of any PRC law or in breach of any contract as listed in the transaction documents hereinbefore which would materially affect its business as described herein. 3.19 The choice of law and the selection of the dispute resolution procedure and venue under the transaction documents are valid, effective and enforceable under PRC law. This Legal Opinion is provided to you by us in our capacity as your PRC legal counsel for the Transaction and may not be relied upon by any other persons or corporate entities or used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

In this connection, you have requested our opinion concerning certain matters under Delaware law. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement. For the purpose of rendering our opinions as expressed herein, we have been furnished and have reviewed the following: 12.13 the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Secretary of State") on March 1, 2000, as amended by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as filed in the office of the Secretary of State on August 1, 2000, as further amended by the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as filed in the office of the Secretary of State on May 22, 2002, as further amended by the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as filed in the office of the Secretary of State on May 27, 2004, as further amended by the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as filed in the office of the Secretary of State on September 28, 2004, and as further amended by the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as filed in the office of the Secretary of State on February 2, 2006 (collectively, the "Charter"); 12.14 the By-laws of the Company (the "By-laws"); 12.15 the Merger Agreement, without schedules or exhibits; and 12.16 a certificate of an officer of the Company, dated the date hereof as to certain factual matters. With respect to the foregoing documents, we have assumed: (a) the genuineness of all signatures, and the incumbency, authority, legal right and power and legal capacity under all applicable laws and regulations, of each of the officers and other persons and entities (other than the Company) signing or whose signatures appear upon such documents as or on behalf of the parties thereto; (b) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (c) the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or other copies; and (d) that the forms submitted to us for our review have not been and will not be altered or amended in any respect material to our opinion as expressed herein. For the purpose of rendering our opinions as expressed herein, we have not reviewed any document other than the documents set forth above, and we assume there exists no provision of any such other document that bears upon or is inconsistent with our opinions

as expressed herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own, but rather have relied as to factual matters solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein, and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we assume to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects. In addition to the foregoing, for the purpose of rendering our opinions as expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed the following matters: (a) that each of the parties to the Merger Agreement (other than the Company and any natural person) is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization; (b) that the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement by each of the parties thereto (other than the Company and any natural person) do not conflict with, or result in a violation of, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or the partnership agreement and any other organizational documents of such party; (c) that each of the parties to the Merger Agreement who is a natural person has the legal capacity to execute and deliver the Merger Agreement; (d) that each of the parties to the Merger Agreement (other than the Company) has the requisite capacity, power and authority under its certificate of incorporation and bylaws or its partnership agreement or other organizational documents or other natural persons, as the case may be, to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Merger Agreement; (e) that the Merger Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto (other than the Company); (f) that the Merger Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto (other than the Company and the Principal Stockholders), enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms; (g) that the Board of Directors of the Company has complied with its fiduciary duties in approving the Merger Agreement; (h) that the Merger Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof; and (i) that the restrictions contained in Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "General Corporation Law") are not applicable to the Company pursuant to subsection (b)(4) thereof. Based upon and subject to the foregoing and based upon our review of such matters of law as we have deemed necessary and appropriate in order to render our opinion as expressed herein, and subject to the assumptions, limitations, exceptions and qualifications set forth herein, it is our opinion that: the Company is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and 12.17 the Merger Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company

and the Principal Stockholders under the laws of the State of Delaware, enforceable against the Company and the Principal Stockholders in accordance with its terms; and 12.18 [upon the filing by the Company of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State and the payment of the requisite taxes and fees, the Merger will be effective under the General Corporation Law.] The foregoing opinions are subject to the following limitations, assumptions, exceptions and qualifications: We are admitted to practice law in the State of Delaware and do not hold ourselves out as being experts on the law of any other jurisdiction. The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Delaware currently in effect, and we have not considered and express no opinion on the effect of the laws of any other state or jurisdiction, including state or federal laws relating to securities or other federal laws, or the rules and regulations of stock exchanges or of any other regulatory body. In addition, we have not considered and express no opinion as to the applicability of or any compliance with the Delaware Securities Act, 6 Del. C. Section 7301 et seq., or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. Our opinion set forth above is subject to (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and conveyance, moratorium, reorganization, receivership and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of the rights and remedies of creditors generally, (b) principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law or pursuit to arbitration), and (c) the discretion of the court before which any proceeding in respect of the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby may be brought. We express no opinion (i) with respect to the enforceability or validity of any provision of the Merger Agreement that purports to obligate the parties thereto to cause other persons or entities to take certain actions or act in a certain way insofar as such provision relates to the actions of such other persons or entities, (ii) with respect to the enforceability and validity of the provisions of the Merger Agreement to the extent that such provisions purport to bind the directors of the Company in the exercise of their fiduciary duties or to bind parties not signatory thereto, (iii) as to any provisions of the Merger Agreement relating to indemnification or contribution obligations (to the extent that such provisions may be held to be against public policy or may be limited by 10 Del. C. Section 3912 (concerning collection of attorneys' fees in causes of action brought for the enforcement of an instrument in writing)), (iv) as to any waivers or releases set forth in the Merger Agreement, except to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, (v) with respect to the Merger Agreement, the enforceability of Sections 1.9(a), (b) and (c) (to the extent the validity or enforceability of such sections depend on the terms of an Option, Restricted Stock or the Warrants, respectively and/or the actions of third parties), Section 4.4(h) (to the extent such provision purports to restrict the amendment of the By-laws by the stockholders of the Company), Section 4.7(a) (to the extent such provision applies prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval), the last sentence of each of Sections 1.5(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) (to the extent that the provisions thereof are not limited to a pro rata adjustment), the first sentence of Section 1.7(d), the last sentence of Section 1.10(d), Sections 1.13(a) and (b), Section 1.14(a) (to the extent such provision purports to remove the Company's directors and officers through the Merger Agreement) and Section 6.2(e) (to the extent such provision is inconsistent with the Delaware Uniform Arbitration Act, 10 Del. C. Section 5701 et seq.). For purposes of this opinion, we assume that notice of the approval of the Merger Agreement by written consent of the stockholders of the Company is promptly sent to each Company stockholder who did not consent in writing in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law, and that notice of appraisal rights is sent to each non-consenting stockholder of the Company in

accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law. Our opinion as expressed herein does not encompass any agreement or document referred to in or incorporated by reference into the Merger Agreement. With respect to the submission to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York as set forth in Section 12.11 of the Merger Agreement, a Delaware court would recognize the validity of such submission provided that it was a knowing and voluntary consent and a material and freely negotiated element of the Merger Agreement which was not procured by fraud, and that the enforcement of such provision would not be unreasonable under the circumstances (including by reason of the inconvenience of the State of New York as a forum for litigation or the unavailability of certain remedies) and would not contravene any federal statute or the public policy of the State of Delaware or be inconsistent with the public interest and the administration of justice. The foregoing opinion is rendered solely for your benefit in connection with the matters discussed herein and, without our prior written consent, may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or be furnished or quoted to or relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose.
