2.1 Sale of Tritton Shares. On and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to purchase from each of the Sellers, and each of the Sellers agrees to sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to Buyer, all of the Tritton Shares owned by such Seller for the consideration specified in Section 2.2.

2.2 Consideration for Tritton Shares. As full and complete consideration for the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Tritton Shares by the Sellers to Buyer, and for all representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Sellers and Tritton in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to pay to the Sellers, collectively, (a) cash in an amount equal to One Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,450,000) (the “Closing Cash”), and (b) cash in an amount determined in accordance with Section 2.4 (the “Earn-Out Consideration”). The Closing Cash and the Earn-Out Consideration are, collectively, the “Purchase Price.” The Purchase Price is premised upon the Working Capital of Tritton as of Closing (the “Closing Working Capital”) being equal to the April Working Capital, and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted up or down, as the case may be, by the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital is greater than or less than the April Working Capital (the “Working Capital Adjustment Amount”). The Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in the remainder of this Article II.

2.3 Payment of the Closing Cash. Subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers the Closing Cash less the Working Capital Holdback Amount and the aggregate amount of the Transaction Bonus Payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Sellers at least two (2) business days prior to Closing. Concurrently with the payment of the Closing Cash, Buyer shall pay the Transaction Bonus Payments to the individuals and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 1.28.

2.4 Earn-Out Consideration. For each of the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 fiscal years of Buyer (ending March 31) (each, an “Earn-Out Period”), the Sellers shall be entitled to receive, collectively, from Buyer additional consideration equal to the percentage of the Net Sales of the Tritton Products set forth in the schedule below, up to the Maximum Earn-Out Consideration applicable to such fiscal year set forth therein:


Fiscal Year	Applicable Percentage	Maximum Earn-Out Consideration
2011	[***]%	$	1,600,000

2014	[***]%	$	1,900,000
2015	[***]%	$	1,900,000

2.5 Payment of Earn-Out Consideration. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Earn-Out Period, Buyer shall (a) prepare and deliver to the Sellers a schedule (each, an “Earn-Out Schedule”) setting forth (i) the Net Sales of the Tritton Products for such Earn-Out Period, and (ii) the calculation of the Earn-Out Consideration payable in connection with such Earn-Out Period, and (b) pay to the Sellers the applicable Earn-Out Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated pursuant to Section 2.3 above.

(a) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to use sales and marketing efforts with respect to the Tritton brand and the Tritton Products that are consistent with its sales and marketing efforts with respect to its other similarly situated product brands. Buyer agrees that Buyer will not take any action with a primary intention of materially decreasing the likelihood that Buyer will have to make the Earn-Out Consideration payments.

(b) Net Sales information will be available to the Seller’s Representatives from time to time through access to Buyer’s sales information systems. If the Sellers’ Representative is unable to obtain Net Sales information through access to Buyer’s sales information systems as a result of the termination of the Sellers’ Representative’s employment with Buyer at any time, then Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a report of the Net Sales of the Tritton Products on a fiscal quarterly and cumulative fiscal year basis beginning with the first fiscal quarter end following the termination of the Sellers’ Representative’s employment. Such report shall be delivered to the Sellers’ Representative within forty-five (45) days after the end of the applicable quarterly period. The Sellers’ Representative may provide such Net Sales information to any Seller at such Seller’s request up to one time per quarter if such Seller executes a non-disclosure and non-use agreement and acknowledgement of such Seller’s obligations under applicable securities laws with respect thereto, each in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

(c) Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Earn-Out Schedule for each Earn-Out Period in which the Sellers’ Representative is unable to obtain Net Sales information through access to Buyer’s sales information systems as a result of the termination of the Sellers’ Representative’s employment with Buyer, the Sellers’ Representative shall give Buyer written notice of any objection to the calculation of Net Sales set forth in such Earn-Out Schedule, which notice shall specify the factual basis of such objection (the “Objection Notice”). If the Sellers’ Representative provides Buyer with an Objection Notice during such ten (10) business day period and Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to reconcile the objections set forth in such Objection Notice within twenty (20) business days after delivery thereof to Buyer, then the parties shall mutually select an independent accounting firm from

among one of the four largest accounting firms in the United States or another nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Net Sales Auditor”) to perform an audit of the Net Sales during the applicable Earn-Out Period. If the parties are unable to mutually select the Net Sales Auditor, then each of the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall select an independent auditor and the two independent auditors shall mutually select the Net Sales Auditor. The Sellers’ Representative and Net Sales Auditor shall execute and deliver a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer in advance of any such audit. Buyer shall permit the Net Sales Auditor to enter Buyer’s premises upon reasonable advance notice and during Buyer’s normal business hours and in a manner that does not interfere with Buyer’s operation of its business in order to examine records pertaining to the calculation of Net Sales during the applicable Earn-Out Period, and the Net Sales Auditor’s determination of the calculation of Net Sales during the applicable Earn-Out Period shall be binding on the parties. Except as set forth in the following sentence, each party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of any such dispute. The Sellers shall bear the fees and expenses of the Net Sales Auditor unless the Net Sales Auditor’s determination of the Net Sales during the applicable Earn-Out Period is greater than 110% of Buyer’s calculation of the Net Sales during the applicable Earn-Out Period, in which case Buyer shall bear the fees and expenses of the Net Sales Auditor.

(d) In the event of a Change of Control, Buyer agrees to use its best efforts to cause the surviving or acquiring corporation in such Change of Control to assume Buyer’s remaining obligation to pay the Earn-Out Consideration.

2.6 Working Capital Adjustment.(a) The parties have agreed to the April Working Capital and the basis for calculation thereof. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing, Buyer shall, in good faith and in a manner consistent with the calculation of the April Working Capital, prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement setting forth (a) the Closing Working Capital, and (b) the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, if any, and the basis for calculation thereof. If the Sellers’ Representative disagrees with Buyer’s computation of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount or any portion thereof, the Sellers’ Representative shall give Buyer a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) explaining in reasonable detail the basis of such disagreement within ten (10) days after the Sellers’ Representative receipt of Buyer’s calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount and such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.6(c) below. If the Sellers’ Representative agrees in writing with the Working Capital Adjustment Amount or if the Sellers’ Representative does not timely give Buyer a Dispute Notice, the Working Capital Adjustment Amount shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties.

(b) If the Closing Working Capital exceeds the April Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the Working Capital Holdback Amount and the Working Capital Adjustment Amount. If the April Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital by an amount equal to or less than the Working Capital Holdback Amount, then Buyer shall retain the portion of the Working Capital Holdback Amount equal to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount and shall pay to the Sellers that portion of the Working Capital Holdback Amount in excess of the Working Capital Adjustment Amount. If the April Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital by an amount in excess of the Working Capital Holdback Amount, then Buyer shall retain the entire Working Capital Holdback Amount and the additional amount by which the April Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital shall be deducted from the Earn-Out Consideration for the Fiscal Year 2011 Earn-Out Period, and subsequent Earn-Out Periods if necessary. Any payments required to be paid by Buyer under this Section 2.6 shall be paid to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of ten (10) business days following a Dispute Notice to resolve any disagreement relating to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative have been unable to resolve the disagreement by the end of such period, a mutually agreed upon independent public

accounting firm (the “Arbitrator”) shall be retained to make a determination on the matter in dispute. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative cannot mutually agree upon an Arbitrator, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, collectively, shall each name an Arbitrator. If the two Arbitrators cannot agree on a value, they shall appoint a third, and the decision of a majority of the three Arbitrators shall be binding on all parties. The determination of the Arbitrator(s) with respect to the Working Capital Adjustment Amount shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and the appropriate payment shall be made by the parties in accordance with Section 2.6(a) based upon the final determination of the Arbitrator(s). The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator(s) shall be borne equally by Buyer and the Sellers.

2.7 Tax Treatment. Any Earn-Out Consideration payments made pursuant to Section 2.5 and any indemnity payments made pursuant to ARTICLE VIII shall be deemed to be, and each of the Sellers and Buyer shall treat such payments as, an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes. The Earn-Out Consideration payments shall be treated as installment obligations for purposes of Section 453 of the Code. The Parties shall treat an applicable portion of the Earn-Out Consideration payments to the Sellers or any other recipient of consideration under this Agreement as imputed interest to the extent required pursuant to Sections 453, 483 or 1274 of the Code. The parties hereto acknowledge that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a taxable transaction for income tax purposes.

7.6 Additional Covenants Protecting the Interests of Buyer. Each of the Sellers agrees as follows:

(a) That through the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), none of the Sellers shall directly or indirectly, individually, together with, or through any other Person: (A) approach, solicit or accept business from, or otherwise engage in any business with any Person who is or has been a customer or client of Tritton, or a representative of such customer or client that has the effect of competing directly with Tritton or Buyer; (B) in any manner discourage any Person who is or has been a customer or client of Tritton from continuing its business relationship with Tritton; (C) approach, counsel or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Tritton to leave their employment or engagement, or employ or engage or attempt to employ or engage any such Person; or (D) aid or counsel any other person to do any of the above.

Each of the Sellers also expressly acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 7.6 are reasonable and necessary in order to protect and maintain the proprietary interests, goodwill and other legitimate business interests of Buyer. Each of the Sellers further acknowledges that (i) it would be difficult to calculate the damages to Buyer from any breach of the obligations of the Sellers under this Section 7.6, (ii) injury to Buyer from any such breach would be irreparable and impossible to measure and (iii) the remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.6 would therefore be an inadequate remedy and, accordingly, Buyer shall, in addition to all other available remedies, including, without limitation, seeking such damages as Buyer can show it has sustained by reason of such breach and/or the exercise of all other rights it has under this Agreement, be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies without the necessity of showing actual damages or posting bond. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 7.6 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

7.7 Tax Matters.

(a) The Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, agree to give prompt notice to each other of any claim, or the commencement of any Proceeding (including a Tax audit) with respect to Taxes for which the Sellers may be responsible pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Sellers may, at their own expense, participate in and, upon providing written notice to the Buyer, assume the defense of any such Proceeding, provided that (i) the counsel to the Sellers is reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, (ii) the Sellers shall thereafter consult with the Buyer upon request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such Proceeding, and (iii) the Sellers shall not, without the written consent of the Buyer, agree to any settlement with respect to any Tax if such settlement could adversely affect a Tax asset or the Tax liability of Buyer. If the Sellers assume such defense, the Buyer shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at their own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Sellers. If the Sellers elect not to assume such defense, (i) the Buyer may pay, compromise or contest the Tax at issue, and (ii) the Sellers shall be responsible to pay the amount of the Tax directly or, if any Buyer pays such Tax, reimburse the payor of such Tax pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts and consultants employed by the Buyer for any period during which the Sellers have not assumed the defense thereof. Whether or not the Sellers choose to defend or prosecute any Proceeding, all of the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(b) The Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to books and records) related to Tritton as is reasonably necessary for the preparation of any Tax Return, claim for refund or audit, and the prosecution or defense of any Proceeding relating to any proposed adjustment. The Sellers and Buyer further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(c) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for Tritton for all Tax periods ending on the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit Tritton to review and comment on each such Tax Returns described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. The Sellers shall be responsible to pay the amount of all Taxes for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to the terms of this Agreement directly or, if Buyer pays such Tax, reimburse Buyer for such Tax within fifteen (15) days after the date on which such Taxes are paid. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of Tritton for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. The Sellers shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to any period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, but only with respect to the portion of such period up to and including the Closing Date (such portion, a “Pre-Closing Partial Period”). Any Taxes for a period including a Pre-Closing Partial Period shall be apportioned between such Pre-Closing Partial Period and the portion of such period beginning after the Closing Date, based, in the case of real and personal property Taxes, on a per diem basis and, in the case of other Taxes, on the actual activities, taxable income or taxable loss of Tritton during such Pre-Closing Partial Period and the remainder of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.6(a) shall not impose any liability on the Sellers with respect to Taxes in excess of the Damages for which the Sellers have agreed to indemnify the Buyer Parties under Section 8.2.

7.8 Contribution to Audit Expenses. If it is determined that an audit of Tritton’s financial statements is required under applicable auditing rules, then the cost of such audit, up to a maximum of $25,000 in the aggregate, will be deducted from the Earn-Out Consideration for the year in which such audit is conducted.

8.5 Notice; Defense of Claims. An indemnified party shall make claims for indemnification hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the indemnifying party promptly on discovery and in any event within the period in which indemnification claims can be made hereunder. If indemnification is sought for a claim or liability asserted by a third party, the indemnified party shall also give written notice thereof to the indemnifying party promptly after it receives notice of the claim or liability being asserted, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability except to the extent that it is prejudiced by the failure or delay in giving such notice. Such notice shall summarize the basis for the claim for indemnification and any claim or liability being asserted by a third party. Within twenty (20) days after receiving such notice the indemnifying party shall give written notice to the indemnified party stating whether it disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any third party claim or liability at its own cost and expense. If the indemnifying party fails to give notice that it disputes an indemnification claim within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice thereof, it shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the claim, which shall become immediately due and payable. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to direct the defense against a third party claim or liability with counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) as long as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense. The indemnified party shall at all times have the right to fully participate at its own expense in the defense of a third party claim or liability, directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if the named parties to the Proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party is advised that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party may engage separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend a third party claim or liability is given by the indemnifying party, or if such good faith and diligent defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right, at the

expense of the indemnifying party, to undertake the defense of such claim or liability (with counsel selected by the indemnified party), and to compromise or settle it, with consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the third party claim or liability is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall make available such information and assistance as the indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in such defense, at the expense of the indemnifying party.

9.1 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Buyer may, without such consent, (a) assign all such rights as collateral security to any lender to Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, but such assignment shall not relieve Buyer of any liability hereunder and (b) assign all such rights to any Affiliate of Buyer or to any Person who acquires Buyer or substantially all of the assets of Buyer or survives any merger with Buyer.

9.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, together with all exhibits and schedules hereto (including the Disclosure Schedules) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

9.4 Service of Process; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Service of Process. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of any process, pleading, notices or other papers by the mailing of copies thereof by registered, certified or first class mail, postage prepaid, to such party at such party’s address set forth herein, or by any other method provided or permitted under California law.

(b) Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California or, if such court does not have jurisdiction or does not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the County of San Diego, California; (ii) consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such Proceeding; and (iii) waives any objection which such party may have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court.

9.5 Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9.6 Headings. The headings of the Articles and Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.7 Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be a part of this Agreement for all purposes.

9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

9.9 Construction. Differences in language as between similar provisions covering similar matters may reflect differences in style rather than a different substantive intent and should be construed accordingly. The parties understand and agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement have been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and that if at any time the parties desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject hereto, no consideration shall be given to the issue of which party actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition hereof.

9.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, each party hereto shall pay its own out-of-pocket expenses, including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and all other agreements, documents and instruments contemplated hereby, or otherwise in connection with the preparation for carrying this Agreement into effect. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the out-of-pocket expenses of Tritton shall be borne by the Sellers.

9.11 Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other document or instrument referred to herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such document or instrument.

9.12 Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of either party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

9.13 Specific Performance. The parties agree that it would be difficult to measure damages which might result from a breach of this Agreement by the Sellers or Tritton and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for such a breach. Accordingly, if there is a breach or proposed breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Sellers or Tritton, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies which it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain such breach without having to show or prove actual damage to Buyer.
