ARTICLE II. SALE OF IP ASSETS

encumbrances, and all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the IP Assets (including,
but not limited to, any and all rights and claims of the Seller, whether mature, contingent or

Shareholders shall have the right to rescind the sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment of the
IP Assets to the Purchaser (a “Rescission”) by serving written notice of such Rescission to Parent
and the Purchaser. Upon service of notice of such Rescission, (a) the sale, conveyance, transfer
and assignment of the IP Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and/or the IPAAA shall

purposes to be, the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the IP
Assets (including, but not limited to, any and all rights and claims of the Seller, whether mature,
contingent or otherwise, against third parties relating thereto); (c) the Purchaser shall not have
any right, title or interest of any kind in or to the IP Assets and shall not contest the Seller’s
ownership of and exclusive rights in and to the IP Assets; and (d) the Purchaser shall immediately
execute and deliver to the Seller and the Shareholders such documents and agreements as the
Shareholders may request to effect the Rescission, and the Seller shall return the Purchase Price
to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In furtherance of the foregoing
rights, the Purchaser agrees (and Parent agrees that it will cause the Purchaser) not to sell,
convey, transfer, assign, license or use in any way any of the IP Assets or any right, title or
interest of an kind in or to the IP Assets prior to the Merger Closing (except as may be required

refuses to execute any documents or agreements requested by the Seller and/or the Shareholders

arrangements contemplated by this Agreement shall be limited in the aggregate, as of any time from

state or federal court located in the State of California over any dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and further agree that

waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or
hereafter have (including, but not limited to, any claim of forum non conveniens) to venue in the
courts located in the State of California. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such
dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.
10.2 Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury of

The remaining provisions of this Agreement and the invalidated provisions in other non-affected
jurisdictions shall remain in full force and effect until the Agreement terminates or expires.
11.2 The waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate
or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that particular provision or any other
provision of the Agreement. Failure by any Party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall not affect or impair such provisions in any way, or the right of any Party at any time to avail itself of any remedies it may have for
breach of such provisions pursuant to this Agreement, either in equity or in law.

undertakings, agreements, and understandings, whether oral or written, between the Parties hereto.
No modification, amendment or alteration of this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed to in a
writing signed by each of the Parties.
11.5 The Parties hereto acknowledge that irreparable damage would result if this Agreement was not
specifically enforced, and they therefore consent that the rights and obligations of the Parties
hereto under this Agreement may be enforced by a decree of specific performance issued by a court
of competent jurisdiction. Such remedy shall, however, not be exclusive and shall be in addition
to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
