ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.1) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit F (the "Certificate of Merger") and the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Law"), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Involve, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Involve shall continue as the surviving corporation. Involve, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation."

Section 1.2 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Involve and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Involve and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.3 Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that Section 1 of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read as follows: "The name of the corporation is 'Involve Acquisition, Inc."'

(b) The By-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended.

Section 1.4 Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

Section 1.5 Kintera Common Stock; Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Involve or the holders of any of the following securities, each share of the Involve Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted and exchanged into the right to receive that number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Kintera common stock, subject to Section 1.5(c) regarding fractional shares, Section 1.13 regarding dissenters' rights and Article VIII regarding indemnification and escrow, set forth on Schedule 1.5, with the total number of shares of Kintera common stock to which a holder of Involve Stock is entitled pursuant to this Section 1.5 also set forth on Schedule 1.5. The total number of shares of Kintera common stock to which all holders of Involve Stock are entitled pursuant to this Section 1.5, together with the total number of shares of Kintera common stock to be subject to all Substituted Options (as defined in Section 1.6 below), shall be the "Shares." The quotient of (i) the total number of Shares, divided by (ii) the aggregate of all shares of Involve Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (with respect to any shares of outstanding Involve preferred stock, treating such shares as having converted into Involve common stock) and all shares of Involve Stock issuable under stock options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be the "Exchange Ratio." After the Effective Time, any certificates representing shares of Involve Stock shall represent only the right to receive the consideration set forth on Schedule 1.5.

(b) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of the common stock of Merger Sub ("Merger Sub Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Kintera common stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Involve common stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Kintera common stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Kintera common stock to be received by such holder) shall receive from Kintera one additional share of

Kintera common stock in lieu of any such fractional share. The fractional share interests of each Involve stockholder shall be aggregated, so that no Involve stockholder shall receive more than one share of Kintera common stock with respect to any interest in fractional shares.

Section 1.6 Stock Options. Subject to the condition set forth in Section 1.6(b) below, as of the Effective Time each outstanding option held by then-current employees of Involve to purchase shares of Involve Stock pursuant to Involve's stock option plans (collectively, such plans the "Involve Option Plans," and each such option an "Involve Stock Option") shall be replaced by a new substitute option to purchase Shares (each such option to purchase Shares a "Substituted Option"), with the number of Shares subject to the Substituted Option and the exercise price thereof to be calculated as follows and set forth on Schedule 1.5:

(a) the number of Shares subject to each Substituted Option shall be the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of the number of shares of Involve Stock subject to such Involve Stock Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and the exercise price per Share under the Substituted Option shall be the quotient (rounded up to the nearest $.01) of the exercise price per share of Involve Stock under Involve Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio. The adjustment provided herein shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code with respect to Involve Stock Options to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code.

(b) Except as mutually agreed by the holder of a Substituted Option and Kintera, each Substituted Option shall be subject to the same expiration date applicable to the relevant Involve Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Substituted Option shall be subject to the revised vesting provisions set forth in an Option Agreement (an "Option Agreement") in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, to be executed by Kintera and the holder of each Substituted Option, the execution of which is a condition to the substitution of a Substituted Option for any Involve Stock Option. Involve Stock Options for which a Substituted Option is not granted due to failure of the foregoing condition or Involve Stock Options owned by persons not then-current employees of Involve shall terminate as of the Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of the Involve Option Plans. Kintera shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance under its 2000 Stock Option Plan a sufficient number of Shares for delivery upon exercise of the options described above.

Section 1.7 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Kintera to Provide Stock. At Closing, each holder of Involve Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing will deliver such holder's stock certificate(s) to Kintera. Conditioned upon receipt of such certificate(s), Kintera shall issue and deliver (i) certificates to each Involve stockholder evidencing the Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(a) less, for each Involve stockholder, the Escrow Securities, as defined in Section 1.12, and, if applicable, any Shares subject to vesting under the Vesting Agreement and (ii) certificates representing the Escrow Securities, as defined in Section 1.12, and, if applicable, any Shares subject to vesting under the Vesting Agreement described in Section 3.2(a), to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the escrow agent set forth in the Vesting Agreement, respectively.

(b) Transfers of Ownership. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Involve shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Involve Stock thereafter on the records of Involve. If any certificate for Shares is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefore is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Kintera or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for Shares in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or

established to the satisfaction of Kintera or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

Section 1.8 No Further Ownership Rights in Involve Stock. The Shares delivered upon the surrender of shares of Involve Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any dividends, distributions or cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Involve Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Involve Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.8.

Section 1.9 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Section 1.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. Each of Kintera, Merger Sub and Involve will take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as possible. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Involve and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Involve and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Section 1.11 Audit; Adjustment Amount.

(a) Following the Closing, Kintera and Merger Sub shall have the right to employ a nationally-recognized accounting firm to audit Involve's financial statements and other books and records for (i) the fiscal year ending 2003 and the fiscal years ended in 2001 and 2002 and (ii) any subsequent fiscal quarters prior to the Closing (the "Audit").

(b) At the Closing, Involve shall deliver to Kintera and to Merger Sub financial statements, including a balance sheet as of December 20, 2002 and a statement of operations or income statement for Involve's fiscal year 2003 through the same date (the "Closing Financial Statements"), prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). If the Audit reveals or Kintera and the Securityholders' Agent (as defined in Section 8.4) otherwise agree that a downward adjustment from the *** reflected in the Closing Financial Statements is required in order for the Closing Financial Statements to be in compliance with GAAP, then the product of the absolute value of the dollar amount of the *** adjustment times a multiplication factor (the "Factor") shall be the "Adjustment Amount." If the *** adjustment is due to *** by Involve or any Founder, the Factor shall be ***; otherwise the Factor shall be ***. If there is an Adjustment Amount, the number of Shares being issued in the Merger may be adjusted pursuant to Section 8.2.

Section 1.12 Escrow. At the Closing, Kintera shall deposit with the escrow agent designated in the Stockholders Agreement (the "Escrow Agent"), a certificate representing 120,000 of the Shares, less fifteen percent (15%) of the Shares issuable pursuant to Substituted Options (the difference being the "Escrow Securities"). The Escrow Securities shall be deducted from the Shares to be delivered to the Involve stockholders at Closing. The Escrow Securities shall be issued in the name of each Involve stockholder in the amounts set forth on Schedule 1.5. The Escrow Securities shall be available to indemnify Merger Sub and Kintera as provided in Section 8.

Section 1.13 Dissenters' Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Involve Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are

held by stockholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger (the "Dissenting Shares"), which stockholders comply with all of the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the "Dissenting Stockholders"), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Shares, unless and until such holders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under Delaware Law. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such holder's Involve Stock shall thereupon be converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Shares allocated to such stockholder on Schedule 1.5 without any interest thereon. Involve shall give Kintera (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Involve Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by Involve relating to stockholders' rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law. Neither Involve nor the Surviving Corporation shall, except with the prior written consent of Kintera, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, the Involve Stock held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be treated as though such Involve Stock had been converted into the right to receive the Shares allocated to such stockholder on Schedule 1.5 pursuant to Section 1.5(a).

In this Agreement, any reference to a Party's "knowledge," unless otherwise qualified, means the knowledge such Party would have after reasonable inquiry of the Party's directors and officers, and as to Involve, John Hartman.

As used in this Agreement, the word "Subsidiary" means, with respect to any Party, any corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of which at least a majority of the securities or other interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the Board of Directors or others performing similar functions with respect to such corporation or other organization is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such Party or by any one or more of its Subsidiaries, or by such Party and one or more of its Subsidiaries.

Except as disclosed in a disclosure schedule, which references the specific representations and warranties as to which the exception is made (the "Disclosure Schedule"), Involve and the Founders jointly and severally represent and warrant to Kintera and Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement as follows:

Section 3.1 Organization, Standing and Power. Involve is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, has all requisite power to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as currently being conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its operations requires such qualification, except where failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Involve or its assets. Involve has delivered to Merger Sub true and correct copies of its charter documents (Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws), as amended to date. Involve is not in violation of any of the material provisions of its charter documents. Except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, Involve does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, joint venture or other business association or entity.

similar laws affecting or relating to creditors' rights generally, and general principles of equity. The Board of Directors of Involve has unanimously (i) approved this Agreement and the Merger, (ii) determined that in its opinion the Merger is in the best interests of the stockholders of Involve and is on terms that are fair to such stockholders and (iii) recommended that the stockholders of Involve approve this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the Merger.

(b) The execution and delivery by Involve and the Founders of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Involve and the Founder is or will be a party does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not, (i) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of, the charter documents of Involve, (ii) result in any violation or breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, any note, mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or obligation to which Involve or any Founder is a party or by which Involve, any Founder, or any of Involve's assets may be bound except where such violation, breach or right would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Involve or its assets, or (iii) conflict with or violate any permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Involve, any Founder, or any of Involve's assets except where such conflict or violation would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Involve or its assets.

(c) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality ("Governmental Entity") is required by or with respect to Involve in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger, together with any required officers' certificates; (ii) filings, if any, required under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933; (iii) such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may be required under applicable state securities laws; and (iv) such other consents, authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or made, would not prevent or materially alter or delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Kintera.

Section 3.3 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of Involve consists of 20,000,000 shares of common stock of Involve, of which 9,869,837 shares were issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 4,357,143 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 1,857,143 shares outstanding, and 857,143 shares are designated as Series B Preferred Stock, no shares outstanding. All outstanding shares of Involve Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are free of any liens or encumbrances, and are not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal created by statute (in each case that have not been complied with or waived), the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of Involve or any agreement to which Involve is a party or by which it is bound. Other than the Involve Stock described in the first sentence of this Section 3.3 above, Involve has no other classes of stock of which shares are currently outstanding. There are no options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments or agreements of any character to which Involve is a party or by which it is bound obligating Involve to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or redeemed, any shares of Involve capital stock (whether Involve common stock, Involve preferred stock or any other class of equity or debt security of Involve) or obligating Involve to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of, change the price of, or otherwise amend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no contracts, commitments or agreements relating to voting, purchase or sale of Involve common stock or Involve preferred stock between Involve and any of its stockholders. All outstanding securities issued by Involve were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The capitalization of Involve, as set forth above, including

the names and addresses of record on Involve's books, of each holder of any Involve security, is set forth in Schedule 3.3 to the Disclosure Schedule. Schedule 3.3 also notes, with respect to any stock options granted by Involve, whether such options were intended to qualify for treatment as incentive stock options under the Code.

Section 3.4 Financial Statements. Involve has delivered to Merger Sub its unaudited financial statements as of and for each of the fiscal years ended in 2001 and 2002, and its unaudited financial statements for each of the subsequent nine months ended October 31, 2002 and the Closing Financial Statements (collectively, the "Involve Financial Statements"). The Involve Financial Statements are correct in all material respects and were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except that they do not include notes. The Involve Financial Statements present fairly the financial position of Involve in all material respects as of the respective dates and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, subject in the case of partial year financial statements to normal, year-end audit adjustments. Involve has maintained a standard system of accounting and internal controls established and administered in accordance with good business practices sufficient to permit the preparations of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

Section 3.5 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Involve does not have any liabilities, either accrued or contingent (whether or not required to be reflected in financial statements in accordance with GAAP), and whether due or to become due, other than (i) liabilities reflected or provided for on the balance sheet as of October 31, 2002 (the "Balance Sheet") contained in the Involve Financial Statements and (ii) liabilities specifically described in this Agreement, the Schedules hereto or the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 3.6 Absence of Certain Changes. Since January 31, 2002 (the "Measurement Date"), Involve has conducted its business in the ordinary course and there has not occurred: (i) any change, event or condition (whether or not covered by insurance) that has resulted in, or might reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect to Involve; (ii) any acquisition, sale or transfer of any asset of Involve that would have a Material Adverse Effect other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; (iii) any change in accounting methods or practices (including any change in depreciation or amortization policies or rates) by Involve or any revaluation by Involve of any of its assets; (iv) any declaration, setting aside, or payment of a dividend or other distribution with respect to the shares of Involve or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase or other acquisition by Involve of any of its shares of capital stock; (v) any Material Contract (as such term is defined in Section 3.11) entered into by Involve, other than in the ordinary course of business and as provided to Merger Sub, or any amendment that would have a Material Adverse Effect or termination of, or default under, any Material Contract to which Involve is a party or by which it is bound; (vi) any amendment or change to the charter documents of Involve; (vii) any increase in or modification of the compensation or benefits paid, payable or to become payable by Involve to any of its directors, officers or employees; (viii) any reduction in the sales of Involve to or significant detrimental change in terms with any customer year-to-date through October 31, 2002 as compared to the same time period last year or (ix) any negotiation or agreement by Involve to do any of the things described in the preceding clauses (i) through (viii) (other than negotiations with Merger Sub, Kintera and their representatives regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). As of Closing, there will be no accrued but unpaid dividends on shares of Involve's capital stock.

Section 3.7 Taxes.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Tax" or, collectively, "Taxes," means any and all federal, state and local taxes of any country, assessments and other governmental charges, duties, impositions and liabilities, including taxes based upon or measured by gross receipts, income, profits, sales, use and occupation, and value added, ad valorem, transfer, franchise, withholding,

payroll, recapture, employment, excise and property taxes, together with all interest, penalties and additions imposed with respect to such amounts and any obligations under any agreements or arrangements with any other person with respect to such amounts and including any liability for taxes of a predecessor entity.

(b) Involve and any predecessor entity (the "Predecessor") has prepared and timely filed all returns, estimates, information statements and reports required to be filed with any taxing authority ("Returns") relating to any and all Taxes concerning or attributable to Involve, such predecessor entity or the operations of either and such Returns are true and correct in all respects and have been completed in all respects in accordance with applicable law. Involve has delivered to Merger Sub true and correct copies of all federal Returns filed by Involve for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2001 and 2002 and delivered all other Returns filed by Involve and its Predecessor since Involve's or the Predecessor's inception.

(c) Involve, as of the Closing Date, (i) will have paid all Taxes it or the Predecessor is required to pay prior to the Closing Date and (ii) will have withheld with respect to its employees and its Predecessor's employees all Taxes required to be withheld.

(d) There is no Tax deficiency outstanding or assessed or proposed against Involve, or its Predecessor that is not reflected as an estimated liability on the Balance Sheet or set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, nor has Involve or Predecessor executed any agreements or waivers extending any statute of limitations on or extending the period for the assessment or collection of any Tax.

(e) Neither Involve nor Predecessor has any liabilities for unpaid Taxes that have not been accrued for or reserved on the Balance Sheet, whether asserted or unasserted, contingent or otherwise.

(f) Neither Involve nor Predecessor is a party to any tax-sharing agreement or similar arrangement with any other party, or any contractual obligation to pay any Tax obligations of, or with respect to any transaction relating to, any other person or to indemnify any other person with respect to any Tax.

(g) Involve is not a party to any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement, including but not limited to the provisions of this Agreement, covering any employee or former employee of Involve that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to Sections 280G, 464 or 162(m) of the Code by Involve or Merger Sub as an expense under applicable law.

(h) There have been no examinations or audits of any Involve Return. Involve has delivered to Kintera accurate and complete copies of all audit reports and similar documents (to which Involve has access) relating to Involve Returns.

(i) No claim or legal proceeding is pending or has been threatened against or with respect to Involve in respect of any Tax. There are no unsatisfied liabilities for Taxes (including liabilities for interest, additions to tax and penalties thereon and related expenses) with respect to any notice of deficiency or similar document received by Involve with respect to any Tax (other than liabilities for Taxes asserted under any such notice of deficiency or similar document which are being contested in good faith by Involve and with respect to which adequate reserves for payment have been established). There are no liens for Taxes upon any of the assets of Involve, except liens for current Taxes not yet due and payable. Involve has not entered into or become bound by any agreement or consent pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code. Involve has not been, and will not be, required to include any adjustment in taxable income for any tax period (or portion thereof) pursuant to Section 481 or 263A of the Code or any comparable provision under state or foreign Tax laws as a result of transactions or events occurring, or accounting methods employed, prior to the Closing.

(j) Involve has not, at any time, been a member of a group (including an affiliated group, within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code) with which it has filed or been included in a combined, consolidated or unitary income Return, other than a group of which Involve is or was the common parent. Involve is not, nor has it ever been, a party to or bound by any tax indemnity agreement, tax sharing agreement, tax allocation agreement or similar Contract. Involve is not liable for the Taxes of any taxpayer under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) as a transferee or successor, by contract (including any tax allocation agreement, tax sharing agreement or tax indemnity agreement), or otherwise for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date. Assuming the Merger qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, no Tax liability or restriction, reduction or limitation on or of favorable Tax attributes (such as losses or credits, loss or credit carryovers, basis or deduction) will arise directly or indirectly as a result of the Merger other than pursuant to Section 382 and Section 383 of the Code.

Any Involve Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has obtained from the Internal Revenue Service a favorable determination letter or opinion letter as to its qualified status under the Code and nothing has occurred since the issuance of each such letter which could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of the tax-qualified status of any Involve Employee Plan subject to Code Section 401(a).

No benefit payable or which may become payable by Involve pursuant to any Involve Employee Plan or as a result of or arising under this Agreement shall constitute an "excess parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) which is subject to the imposition of an excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code or the deduction for which would be disallowed by reason of

If the Closing occurs, all of the representations and warranties contained in Articles III and IV of this Agreement shall survive until *** from the Closing Date, at which time liability therefor shall cease, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 8.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties contained in Sections *** shall survive indefinitely and the representations and warranties in Section *** shall survive until the lapsing of the appropriate statute of limitations, at which time liability therefor shall cease. The termination of any representation and warranty shall not affect any claim for breaches of representation or warranties (and the breaching Party shall continue to be liable therefor) if written notice thereof is given to the breaching Party or Parties on or prior to such termination date.

Section 8.2 Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Involve's stockholders and holders of Substituted Options (the "Indemnifying Parties") shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Merger Sub and Kintera, their officers, directors, employees and attorneys, all Subsidiaries and affiliates of Merger Sub, and the respective officers, directors, employees and attorneys of such entities (all such persons and entities being collectively referred to as the "Purchaser Group") from, against, for and in respect of those losses, damages, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) that any member of the Purchaser Group may sustain or incur to the extent caused by or arise out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by Involve or the Founders in this Agreement (together with any Adjustment Amount, "Losses") and that are subject to reimbursement as provided in this Section 8.2 ("Reimbursable Losses").

Section 8.3 Escrow Fund.

(a) At the Closing, the Escrow Securities shall be issued in the name of each Involve stockholder, as set forth on Schedule 1.5, and be deposited with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Securities shall constitute the "Escrow Fund" and shall be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Stockholders Agreement. The first fifteen percent (15%) of any Shares issued upon exercise of Substituted Options by any holder thereof while the Escrow Fund is in existence shall also be added to the Escrow Fund and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate Merger Sub or Kintera pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.2. In the event Kintera issues any Additional Escrow Shares (as defined below), such shares will be issued in the name of the Involve stockholders and held by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Involve stockholders and delivered to the Escrow Agent in the same manner as the Escrow Securities delivered at the Closing.

(b) Except for dividends paid in stock declared with respect to the Escrow Securities ("Additional Escrow Shares"), which shall be treated as Escrow Securities, any cash dividends will be delivered to the Involve stockholders. The Involve stockholders will have voting rights for the Escrow Securities deposited in the Escrow Fund so long as such Escrow Securities are held in Escrow. Shares purchasable upon exercise of Substituted Options as a result of dividends paid in stock shall also be subject to cancellation in satisfaction of the indemnification obligation of the holders thereof.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Period. The indemnification period shall terminate *** from the Closing Date (the "Termination Date"); provided, however, that if any of the Escrow Securities, Shares or Shares subject to Substituted Options subject to cancellation as set forth in this Section 8 are necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer's Certificate delivered to Dean Hollander as agent for the Indemnifying Parties (the "Securityholders' Agent") prior to the Termination Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the Termination Date, such Escrow Securities, Shares or Shares subject to Substituted Options shall remain subject to this Section 8 until the resolution of such claims.

Section 8.5 Disposition of Shares of Kintera Common Stock. So long as the Shares or Substituted Options remain subject to this Section 8, none of such Shares or Substituted Options shall be sold, transferred, encumbered, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of (a "Disposition") unless the recipient or beneficiary of such Disposition acknowledges and agrees in writing (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Kintera) that the Shares or Substituted Options remain subject to Kintera's rights set forth in this Section 8, and that such recipient or beneficiary will not further dispose of such Shares or Substituted Option in any Disposition without first complying with this Section 8.5, as if such recipient or beneficiary were a party to this Agreement for purposes of this Section 8.

Section 8.6 Claims for Indemnification. If Kintera or the Merger Sub becomes aware of any Losses for which Kintera or the Merger Sub will seek indemnification, Kintera or the Merger Sub shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to the Securityholders' Agent, on or before the Termination Date, a certificate signed by any officer of Kintera or the Merger Sub (an "Officer's Certificate")

stating that with respect to the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.2, Losses exist and specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, properly accrued or arose, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or claim to which such item is related and an estimate of attorney's fees and expenses necessary to conclude the matter. If the Securityholders' Agent does not object to such claims within twenty (20) days of the delivery of the Officer's Certificate to the Securityholders' Agent, Kintera shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent shares of Escrow Securities, and shall be entitled to cancel Substituted Options for Shares, each on a pro rata basis as among all holders of Shares and Substituted Options, with all such Shares to be received from Escrow or subject to canceled Substituted Options having an aggregate Stated Price equal to the Reimbursable Losses, and in such event the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Kintera the foregoing number of Escrow Securities. If the Securityholders' Agent has not objected to such claims, and the Reimbursable Losses exceed the aggregate Stated Price of the remaining Escrow Securities, then Kintera shall be entitled, upon delivery of a written notice of cancellation (the "Cancellation Notice") to the Securityholders' Agent, to (i) (a) receive from the Escrow Agent all remaining shares of Escrow Securities and (b) cancel Substituted Options to purchase Shares in the same proportion for all holders of Shares and Substituted Options as the remaining Escrow Securities bears to all Shares, including Shares subject to Substituted Options (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, recombinations and the like), then (ii) cancel remaining Shares and Substituted Options to purchase Shares on a pro rata basis among all holders of Shares or Substituted Options, with all such Shares to be received from Escrow, subject to canceled Substituted Options and canceled Shares pursuant to (i) and (ii) above having an aggregate Stated Price equal to the Reimbursable Losses, and in such event the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Kintera the remaining Escrow Securities. Kintera shall notify each of the Indemnifying Parties of the number of Shares that are subject to cancellation, the number of Shares subject to return to Kintera and the number of Shares subject to canceled Substituted Options. At such time, the stockholders and holders of Substituted Options shall promptly surrender any stock certificate(s) evidencing Shares cancelled pursuant to this Section 8 and any agreements representing cancelled Substituted Options, provided that surrender of such certificate(s) or agreements representing Substituted Options shall not be a condition to the cancellation of such Shares or Substituted Options and such Shares and Substituted Options shall be deemed cancelled when the Cancellation Notice is given by Kintera pursuant to this Section 8.6.

Section 8.7 Challenge of Third Party Claims. The Securityholders' Agent may elect to participate with Kintera to challenge any claims that are asserted by a third party for which Kintera has delivered an Officer's Certificate to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Securityholders' Agent). The Indemnifying Parties shall be liable for all costs incurred by the Securityholders' Agent in connection with any such challenge. In addition, the Indemnifying Parties must use counsel reasonably acceptable to Kintera. If the Securityholders' Agent elects to participate, the Securityholders' Agent must deliver a notice to Kintera within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Officers' Certificate. The Securityholders' Agent shall not, without Kintera's written consent, settle or compromise any third party claims or consent to entry of any judgment. Kintera shall consult with the Securityholders' Agent with respect to any claims asserted by a third party, and will inform the Securityholders' Agent of all material developments with respect to such claims, but Kintera shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any claim. In the event Kintera desires to settle a claim with a third party by issuance of Kintera capital stock to such party, Kintera shall provide the Securityholders' Agent thirty days to negotiate a settlement in which such third party claim would be paid in cash, and not Shares, directly by the Founders.

Section 8.8 Objections to Claims. The Securityholders' Agent may object to the claim on the Officer's Certificate by delivery to Kintera (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) of such objection in writing within twenty (20) days of the delivery of the Officer's Certificate to the Securityholders' Agent. In case the Securityholders' Agent shall so object in writing to any claim or claims by Kintera or

Merger Sub made in any Officer's Certificate, Kintera or Merger Sub shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Securityholders' Agent. If after such thirty (30) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Securityholders' Agent and Kintera or Merger Sub shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Securityholders' Agent and Kintera or Merger Sub should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both and the distribution or cancellation, if any, of Escrow Securities, Shares or Substituted Options shall be made in connection therewith in accordance with Sections 8.2 and 8.6.

Section 8.9 Resolution of Conflicts and Arbitration. If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between the parties pursuant to Section 8.8, either Kintera or the Merger Sub or the Securityholders' Agent may, by written notice to the other, demand binding arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Losses is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration. Any conflicts arbitrated pursuant to this Section 8.9 shall be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Maximum Payments. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that the Purchaser Group may recover from the Indemnifying Parties shall be equal to *** of the Shares allocated to such Indemnifying Party hereunder, whether Escrow Securities, Shares or Shares subject to Substituted Options.

provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement, by and between Kintera and Involve, dated , 2002.
