12
Sellers in connection with the conduct of the Business, all applications therefore and all licenses
and other agreements relating thereto and (b) all agreements relating to technology, know how or
processes which a Seller is licensed or authorized to use by others or which a Seller licenses or

exclusive right to use the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, technology,
know how and processes described on Schedule 3.12, and except as disclosed on Schedule 3.12 or

any such license or agreement, and Sellers know of no valid basis for any such claims. Sellers

issued, then duly and properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and
jurisdiction for such registration, filings or issuance. Each license, contract or other

or both, would constitute a default) by any party thereto.
All of the Intellectual Property developed or solely and exclusively owned by Sellers was developed
solely and exclusively by employees of Sellers and under the direction and supervision of a
Seller’s personnel, provided, that if any of such Intellectual Property was developed by any person
other than an employee of Sellers, such person has executed and delivered to Sellers an agreement

hereby. To Sellers’ knowledge, no state of facts exists or has existed which would reasonably be
expected to constitute grounds for the institution of any Action against
Sellers or against any assets, properties or rights of Sellers which would adversely affect the
13
Business or any Seller. No Seller is subject to any judgment, order or decree entered in any
lawsuit or proceeding which has affected, or which can reasonably be expected to affect, a Seller’s

this Section 9.2. After notice from indemnifying party to the indemnified party, of its election so

after receipt by the indemnified party, of notice of the commencement of any action to which the
indemnifying party is not a party, the indemnified party, shall, if such claim in respect thereof
is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure or delay in so notifying the
indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations to indemnify the
indemnified party, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The indemnified party, shall keep the
indemnifying party reasonably informed of the progress of any such action and shall not enter into
any settlement of any such action without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
9.3 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as
provided below in this Section 9.3, the indemnified party will be entitled to indemnification
hereunder only when the aggregate of all Damages to such indemnified party from all such breaches

such excess amount, except that the Deductible Amount shall not apply to any claims made for any
severance, commissions and other employee related obligations incurred or relating to services
performed prior to the Closing, including without limitation, payment of all accrued vacation pay
and other amounts required by applicable law to be paid to employees upon termination or to
applicable tax authorities (“Compensation Claims”). Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Article, no indemnified party shall be entitled to seek indemnification under this Article for any
individual fact, circumstance, condition or occurrence that results in a breach of a representation
or warranty that involves Damages of less than $10,000 (unless and until such individual facts,
circumstances, conditions or occurrences involve Damages that in the aggregate exceed the
Deductible Amount); this limitation shall not apply to Compensation Claims for which Sellers shall
be fully liable and for which Xxxxxxx shall be liable for SMI Compensation Claims and for which
Landoll shall be liable for Veridyn Compensation Claims.
9.4 Losses Net of Insurance, etc. The amount of any Damage for which indemnification
is provided under this Agreement shall be net of (a) any tax benefit (such as a deduction, credit
or deferral) actually realized from any Damage, (b) any amounts recovered by the indemnified party
pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, and (iii) any
insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received as an offset against
such Damage. Each indemnified party agrees, upon payment by the indemnifying party, that the
indemnifying party shall have the right, to the extent of the amount paid to the indemnified party,
to be subrogated to the indemnified party’s insurer for Damages suffered as a result of the
indemnified claim and that the indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in its
efforts to submit and pursue such subrogated claims.

to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but
neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by
any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that
the Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or any entity who by merger,
consolidation, purchase or sale subsequently acquires Purchaser or becomes an Affiliate without the
prior consent of Sellers if such Affiliate or entity agrees in writing to assume all of Purchaser’s
obligations under this Agreement and to be subject to and bound by all of the terms and conditions
hereof. Any assignment which contravenes this Section 11.5 shall be void ab initio.
11.6 Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations between the parties hereto shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without
giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
11.8 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
shall not constitute a part hereof or define, limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any of the
terms or provisions hereof.
11.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (which defined term includes the Schedules and Exhibits to
this Agreement) embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, commitments,
34
arrangements, negotiations or understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties with
respect thereto. There are no agreements, covenants, undertakings, representations or warranties
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement other than those expressly set forth or
referred to herein. This is an integrated agreement.
11.10 Severability. Each term and provision of this Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct
undertaking, covenant, term and/or provision hereof. In the event that any term or provision of
this Agreement shall be determined to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal in any respect, such
unenforceability, invalidity or illegality shall not affect any other term or provision of this
Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such unenforceable, invalid or illegal term
or provision had never been contained herein. Moreover, if any term or provision of this Agreement
shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, duration, activity or subject, it
shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent permitted
under applicable law as it shall then exist.
11.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall anything in
this Agreement be construed, to confer any rights, legal or equitable, in any Person (other than

preliminary or immediate injunctive relief may be made by any party to a court having jurisdiction
thereof. The parties stipulate that courts located in Los Angeles County, California, have non
exclusive jurisdiction over any request for preliminary or immediate injunctive relief made by any
party. This arbitration provision is expressly made pursuant to and shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 14. The parties agree that pursuant to Section 9 of
the Federal Arbitration Act, a judgment of a United States District Court shall be entered upon the
award made pursuant to the arbitration. A panel of three arbitrators, who shall have the authority
to allocate the
costs of any arbitration initiated under this Section, shall be selected according to the AAA Rules
within ten (10) days of the submission to the AAA of the response to the statement of claim or the
date on which any such response is due, whichever is earlier. The arbitrators shall be required to
furnish to the parties to the arbitration a preliminary statement of the arbitrators’ decision that
includes the legal rationale for the arbitrators’ conclusion and the calculations pertinent to any
damage award being made by the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall then furnish each of the parties
to the arbitration the opportunity to comment upon and/or contest the arbitrators’ preliminary
statement of decision either, in the discretion of the arbitrators, through briefs or at a hearing.
The arbitrators shall render a final decision following any such briefing or hearing. The
arbitrators shall decide the amount and extent of pre hearing discovery which is appropriate. The
arbitrators shall have the power to enter any award of monetary and/or injunctive relief (including
the power to issue permanent injunctive relief and also the power to reconsider any prior request

previously granted or denied by a court in response to a request therefore by any party), including
the power to render an
35
award as provided in Rule 4 5 of the AAA Rules; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY
AWARD SHALL NOT INCLUDE CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. The arbitrators
shall award the prevailing party its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided, however, that
the arbitrators shall not award attorneys’ fees to a prevailing party if the prevailing party
received a settlement offer unless the arbitrators’ award to the prevailing party is greater than
such settlement offer without taking into account attorneys’ fees in the case of the settlement
offer or the arbitrators’ award. Any arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles County, California.
In addition to the above courts, the arbitration award may be enforced in any court having
jurisdiction over me parties and the subject matter of the arbitration.
11.13 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any action or proceeding is commenced by any party
hereto for the purpose of enforcing any provision of this Agreement, the parties to such action or
proceeding may receive as part of any award, judgment, decision or other resolution of such action
or proceeding their costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees as determined by the person or body making
such award, judgment, decision or resolution. Should any claim hereunder be settled short of the
commencement of any such action or proceeding, the parties in such settlement shall be entitled to
include as part of the damages alleged to have been incurred reasonable costs of attorneys or other
professionals in investigation or counseling on such claim.
