(a)
|
Notwithstanding

extinguished and converted, but shall be entitled to receive from the
Surviving Corporation the value of the shares of DecisionPoint Systems
common stock held by such Dissenting Stockholder as determined pursuant to
Sections 1300-1313 of the CGCL; provided, however, that if such Dissenting
Stockholder fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses such
holder’s right to appraisal of and payment for such holder’s shares under
Sections 1300-1313 of the CGCL, each share of DecisionPoint Systems common
stock of such Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be deemed to have
been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the
Closing, the right to receive shares of DecisionPoint common stock, and
such share of DecisionPoint Systems common stock shall no longer be a
Dissenting Share. In such event, DecisionPoint Systems shall
deliver the number of shares of DecisionPoint common Stock to which such

GENERAL
PROVISIONS
Arbitration
11.1 The
parties hereto shall attempt to resolve any dispute, controversy, difference or
claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement by negotiation in good
faith. If such good negotiation fails to resolve such dispute,
controversy, difference or claim within thirty (30) days after any party
delivers to any other party a notice of its intent to submit such matter to
arbitration, then any party to such dispute, controversy, difference or claim
may submit such matter to arbitration.
Any
action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based upon any
right arising out of, this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration by
a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association and governed by the laws of the
State of Delaware (without regard to the choice-of-law rules or principles of
that jurisdiction). Judgment upon the award may be entered in any
court located in the State of New York, and all the parties hereto hereby
expressly waive any objections or defense based upon lack of personal
jurisdiction.
Each
of the plaintiff and defendant party to the arbitration shall select one (1)
arbitrator (or where multiple plaintiffs and/or defendants exist, one (1)
arbitrator shall be chosen collectively by such parties comprising the
plaintiffs and one (1) arbitrator shall be chosen collectively by those parties
comprising the defendants) and then the two (2) arbitrators shall mutually
agree upon the third arbitrator. Where no agreement can be reached on
the selection of either a third arbitrator or an arbitrator to be named by
either a group of plaintiffs or a group of defendants, any implicated party may
apply to a judge of the courts of the State of New York, to name an
arbitrator. Process in any such action or proceeding may
be served on any party anywhere in the world.
Indemnification
Provisions
11.2 Notice
to Indemnifying Party. If any party (the "Indemnitee") receives
notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect
to which the other party (or parties) is obligated to provide indemnification
(the "Indemnifying Party") pursuant to Sections 3.3 or 5.3 hereof, the
Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within a
reasonable period of time following the Indemnitee’s receipt of such
notice. Such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail and
shall indicate the amount (estimated if necessary) of the losses that have been
or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party may,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.2, compromise or defend, at
such Indemnifying Party's own expense and by such Indemnifying Party's own
counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee in
respect of a third-party claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to
compromise or defend such asserted liability, it shall within thirty (30) days
(or sooner, if the nature of the asserted liability so requires) notify the
Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee, shall reasonably
cooperate, at the request and reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party, in
the compromise of, or defense against, such asserted liability. The
Indemnifying Party will not be released from any obligation to indemnify the
Indemnitee hereunder with respect to a claim without the prior written consent
of the Indemnitee, unless the Indemnifying Party delivers to the Indemnitee a
duly executed agreement settling or compromising such claim with no monetary
liability to or injunctive relief against the Indemnitee and a complete release
of the Indemnitee with respect thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to conduct and control the defense of any third-party claim
made for which it has been provided notice hereunder. All costs and
fees incurred with respect to any such claim will be borne by the Indemnifying
Party. The Indemnitee will have the right to participate, but not
control, at its own expense, the defense or settlement of any such claim;
provided, that if the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party shall have
conflicting claims or defenses, the Indemnifying Party shall not have control of
such conflicting claims or defenses and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to
appoint a separate counsel for such claims and defenses at the cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to
defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party
any books, records or other documents within its control that are reasonably
required for such defense.
