(“Google”), Oxide Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Google (“Merger Sub I”) and Oxide LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Google (“Merger Sub II”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 4, 2009, by and among the Company, Google and Merger Sub I (the “Merger Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended, Merger Sub I will be merged with and into the Company and, as a result, the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Google (the “First Step Merger”).  As soon as practicable thereafter, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub II and, as a result, Merger Sub II will continue as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Google (the “Second Step Merger” and, taken together with the First Step Merger, the “Merger”).
