(b) After the delivery of the Closing Statement and until such time as the Final Purchase Price is determined in accordance with this Section 2.2, the Seller Representative (and its agents and representatives) shall have full access during reasonable business hours upon prior written notice to the books and records of Purchaser, the Company and their respective representatives relating to the Closing Statement and the calculations set forth thereon.  Unless the Seller Representative, within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Statement, delivers to Purchaser a written notice objecting thereto (“Notice of Objection”), such Closing Statement and the Final Purchase Price resulting therefrom shall be binding upon Purchaser and Sellers.  Any Notice of Objection shall (x) specify in detail the basis for and the nature and amount of any disagreement so asserted (to the extent determinable from the records provided to the Seller Representative), and (y) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital or Closing Cash not being prepared and calculated in accordance with the definition of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash and the other provisions of this Agreement.  If a timely Notice of Objection is received by Purchaser, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with clause (1) or (2) below) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (1) the date the Seller Representative and Purchaser resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to any matter specified in the Notice of Objection and (2) the date any matters properly in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm.  During the 30 days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Objection, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to any matter specified in the Notice of Objection.  At the end of such 30-day period, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall submit to PricewaterhouseCoopers for review and resolution of any and all matters (but only

10

such matters) which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Notice of Objection.  In the event that PricewaterhouseCoopers currently, or at the time the submission contemplated above is made, is engaged by any of the Purchaser, the Company or the Sellers or is soliciting any such engagement, then the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall submit the disputed matters to an alternative “big-four” or other accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Seller Representative and Purchaser (PricewaterhouseCoopers or other selected accounting firm is referred to herein as the “Accounting Firm”).  Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall instruct the Accounting Firm to review and resolve any and all matters (but only such matters) which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Notice of Objection.  Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall instruct the Accounting Firm to make a final determination of the items included in the Closing Statement (to the extent such amounts are in dispute) in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement and the definition of Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Cash.  Purchaser and the Seller Representative will cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement.  Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall instruct the Accounting Firm not to assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Seller Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Seller Representative, on the other hand.  Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall also instruct the Accounting Firm to make its determination based solely on presentations by Purchaser and the Seller Representative that are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review).  The Closing Statement and the resulting Final Purchase Price shall become final and binding on the parties hereto on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to Purchaser and the Seller Representative (which final resolution shall be requested by the parties to be delivered not more than sixty (60) days following submission of such disputed matters).  The Accounting Firm shall apportion its fees and expenses pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) between the Seller Representative and Purchaser so as to approximate the extent to which the parties’ submitted disputed items were, on a net basis, different from the amount finally resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 2.2(b), as determined by reference to the Final Purchase Price (as an illustration, this sentence would result in apportionment between both parties equally if the amounts that each assigned to items in dispute were equidistant from the amount finally resolved by the Accounting Firm).

(c) If the Final Purchase Price (as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then each Seller shall pay Purchaser such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such difference.  If the Final Purchase Price (as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then Purchaser shall pay each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such difference. Payments by Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated by Sellers and payments by Sellers to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) shall be made, at any Seller’s election, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser or by delivery of a number of Closing Shares equal to the amount of such payment divided by the Share Price on the required date of payment, in each case as follows: (i) if no Notice of Objection is delivered by the Seller Representative, such amount shall be paid within three Business Days of the earlier of the expiration of the 30-day period for delivery of such Notice of Objection and the date of

11

delivery by the Seller Representative of a notice that the Closing Statement will be accepted without objection; or (ii) if a Notice of Objection is delivered by the Seller Representative, such payment to Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable, shall be paid within three Business Days after the date all disputed items are finally resolved pursuant to Section 2.2(b).  Any amounts not paid by Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, when required pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) shall (i) bear interest compounded annually from the required date of payment to the date of actual payment at the prime rate of interest announced publicly by Citibank N.A. in New York, New York from time to time as its base rate, and (ii) in the case of non payment by any Seller, be payable to Purchaser from the Escrow Funds at Purchaser’s election; provided, however, that in the event any such payments to Purchaser from the Escrow Funds equal or exceed $250,000, each Seller covenants and agrees to pay to the Escrow Account a number of Closing Shares or an amount in immediately available funds, at such Seller’s election, representing each Seller’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment to Purchaser from the Escrow Funds pursuant to the preceding clause (ii), with interest applied to such repaid amount as computed under the preceding clause (i).

(d) On the Initial Escrow Release Date, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly disburse to the Seller Representative (and the Seller Representative shall promptly disburse to the Sellers based on their respective Pro Rata Share) from the Escrow Account, fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Funds less the aggregate amount of all unresolved claims for indemnification properly made pursuant to Article 10 by Purchaser on or prior to the Initial Escrow Release Date.  On the Secondary Escrow Release Date, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly disburse to the Seller Representative (and the Seller Representative shall promptly disburse to the Sellers based on their respective Pro Rata Share) from the Escrow Account, twenty five percent (25%) of the Escrow Funds less the aggregate amount of all unresolved claims for indemnification properly made pursuant to Article 10 by Purchaser on or prior to the Secondary Escrow Release Date.  On the Escrow Termination Date, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly disburse to the Seller Representative (and the Seller Representative shall promptly disburse to the Sellers based on their respective Pro Rata Share) from the Escrow Account, the remaining Escrow Funds then held in the Escrow Account less the aggregate amount of unresolved claims for indemnification properly made pursuant to Article 10 by Purchaser on or prior to the Escrow Termination Date (“Reserved Escrow Funds”).  After the Escrow Termination Date, within three (3) Business Days of the final adjudication or resolution of an outstanding claim properly made pursuant to Article 10 by Purchaser on or prior to the Escrow Termination Date, the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly disburse to the Seller Representative (and the Seller Representative shall promptly disburse to the Sellers based on their respective Pro Rata Share) from the Escrow Account, the amount of the Reserved Escrow Funds reserved for such claim.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller Representative in its sole discretion may elect at any time, by providing prior written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Purchaser, to require the Escrow Agent to release any or all Escrow Shares then in the Escrow Account.  The Escrow Agent shall be required to release to the parties designated by the Seller Representative the requested number of Escrow Shares upon deposit by the Seller Representative in the Escrow Account of cash in an amount equal to

12

$10.50 times the number of requested Escrow Shares.  For avoidance of doubt, the obligation to deposit cash shall not apply with respect to any release of Escrow Shares pursuant to clause (d) above or Section 10.1.

(f) For purposes of calculating the value of the Escrow Funds for purposes of Section 2.2(d), each Escrow Share shall have a value equal to the Share Price of such Escrow Share on the applicable release date or date of final settlement, adjudication or other resolution of any outstanding claim pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

34

control, either alone or jointly, a Restricted Business anywhere in the Restricted Area, whether as an individual, shareholder, officer, director, proprietor, employee, partner, member, manager, investor (other than solely as a holder of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of a corporation whose shares are publicly traded on a national securities exchange or through a national market system), creditor, consultant, advisor, sales representative, agent or other participant.

(i) hire, offer to hire, solicit or in any other manner persuade, or attempt to do any of the foregoing (“Solicit”), any person who is an officer, agent, consultant or employee of the Company (other than Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxx) to accept employment or a consulting relationship with a party other than the Company, or Solicit any Person who is, or was, at any time within six (6) months prior to the date of Solicitation, an officer, employee, agent or consultant of the Company (other than Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxx) to accept employment or a consulting relationship with a party other than the Company engaged in a Restricted Business or to engage in any of the activities hereby prohibited under Section 7.1(a) above, or subparagraph (ii) below; provided, however, that this subsection shall not apply to any Person whose employment or engagement with the Company is terminated by the Company after the Closing Date; or

(ii) Solicit (A) any Person that was a customer of the Company at anytime within two (2) years prior to the Closing Date or any actual or prospective customer of the Company to become a customer of any party other than the Company or the Purchaser engaged in a Restricted Business or (B) any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, consultant or other business relation to cease doing or reduce its business with the Company; provided, however, that this clause shall not prohibit LE from conducting its business in the ordinary course.

(c) The Sellers acknowledge that they have carried on the Restricted Business in the Restricted Area and that Purchaser carries on a like business to the Restricted Business in the Restricted Area.  The Sellers agree that (i) the restrictive covenants contained herein are reasonable under the circumstances and under Section 16601 of the California Business and Professions Code, (ii) the consideration therefor is adequate and sufficient, (iii) Purchaser is purchasing all of the goodwill of the Company’s business indirectly by virtue of purchasing all of the Shares, the goodwill of the Company’s business is part and parcel of the Contemplated Transactions, and the parties hereto value and consider the goodwill of the Company’s business as a valuable asset and as a component of the Final Purchase Price, and (iv) the covenants contained in this Section 7.1 should be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Section 16601 of the California Business and Professions Code and other applicable Law.  In the event any provision of this Section 7.1 or portion thereof shall be held to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Section 7.1 or such provision shall remain in full force and effect.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Section 7.1 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision shall be construed by limiting or reducing it so as to

35

be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with Section 16601 of the California Business and Professions Code and other applicable Law.

(d) In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction should find that any portion, sentence, phrase, word or provision of any agreement contemplated by this Section 7.1 is legally unenforceable, void, or invalid, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator may reform, modify, amend or revise it, and the parties agree to abide and be bound thereby.

7.2 Tax Matters.

(a) General.  Sellers shall be responsible for and shall pay all Tax liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary for Tax periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date.  Each Seller shall be responsible for, and shall pay, all Tax liabilities of such Seller resulting from or payable in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.  Purchaser shall be responsible for all Taxes of the Company for all Tax periods, or portions thereof, beginning after the Closing Date.

(b) Filing Responsibility.

(i) Pre-Closing Tax Periods.  Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed on or before June 15, 2009 (the “Filing Date”) all Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns; provided that, if such Tax Returns are not filed on or before the Filing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to each Seller, along with any refund payment required to be made pursuant to Section 7.2(e), such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Late Filing Payment.  The Seller Representative shall be entitled to review and comment on the Tax Returns contemplated by the preceding sentence, and such Tax Returns shall not be filed without the approval of the Seller Representative.  Sellers and Purchaser agree that any net operating losses relating to the Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall first be carried back to the immediately preceding Tax period of the Company.  Sellers shall pay to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days before the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods, or any portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date, an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes exceed any prepaid taxes of the Company for such Tax period.

(ii) Post-Closing Tax Periods.  Purchaser shall use any net operating losses relating to the Tax period ending on the Closing Date remaining after the carry back required by Section 7.2(b)(i) in the post-Closing Tax periods, beginning with the period immediately after the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, in their Pro Rata Share, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to post-Closing Tax periods, or any portion thereof, beginning and ending after the Closing Date, an amount equal to the Sale Payment Tax Benefit for such Tax period.  In the event any Sale Payment deductions are disallowed or are otherwise determined to have no tax benefit to the Company, Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of any Sale Payment Tax Benefit made to Sellers with respect to such deductions.  For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to

36

income, gains or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period.  Any credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date and such credits are allocated on a pro rata basis in the same manner as set forth in the previous sentence.  All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with reasonable prior practice of the Company.

(c) Transfer and Similar Taxes.  All real property transfer taxes, other transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, stamp and similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne solely by the Sellers severally in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.  The Sellers, in the case of Transfer Taxes and corresponding Tax Returns due on or prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser, in the case of corresponding Tax Returns due after the Closing Date, shall cause the Company to remit payment for such Transfer Taxes and duly and timely file such Tax Returns.  Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate in (i) determining the amount of Transfer Taxes, (ii) providing all requisite exemption certificates and (iii) preparing and timely filing any and all required Tax Returns for or with respect to such Transfer Taxes with any and all appropriate Taxing Authorities.

(d) Access and Assistance.  Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Sellers and their Affiliates will provide each other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by any of them in connection with the preparation, review or approval of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority, any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, or any other claim arising under this Agreement, and each will retain for seven (7) years after the Closing Date and provide the others with any records or information that may be relevant to any such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or claim.  Such assistance shall include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and shall include providing copies of any relevant Tax Returns and supporting work schedules which assistance shall be provided without charge except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

(e) Refunds.  All refunds for Taxes for Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be the property of the Sellers.  Such refunds shall be payable to them, in their respective Pro Rata Shares, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of any such refund.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tax refunds relating to net operating loss carrybacks from Tax periods ending after the Closing Date to Tax periods and Taxes for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be property of the Company.

(f) Tax Sharing Agreements.  All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

37

(g) Tax Contests.  Purchaser shall inform Sellers of the commencement of any audit, examination or proceeding (“Tax Contest”) relating in whole or in part to Taxes for which Purchaser may be entitled to indemnity from Sellers hereunder.  With respect to any Tax Contest for which the Seller Representative acknowledges in writing that Sellers are liable for all Damages relating thereto, the Seller Representative shall be entitled to control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Contest with counsel satisfactory to Purchaser; provided, however, that (x) the Seller Representative shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to control such Tax Contest, (y) in the case of a Tax Contest relating to Taxes of the Company for a Tax period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any such Tax Contest, and (z) if any Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Purchaser, the Company, or any of their Affiliates in any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date, the Tax Contest shall not be settled or resolved without Purchaser’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if  notice is given to the Sellers of the commencement of any Tax Contest and the Seller Representative does not, within thirty (30) Business Days after the Purchaser’s notice is given, give notice to the Purchaser of its election to assume the defense thereof (and in connection therewith, acknowledge in writing the Sellers’ indemnification obligations hereunder), the Sellers shall be bound by any determination made in such Tax Contest or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the Purchaser.  A failure of the Purchaser to give reasonably prompt notice of any Tax Contest shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Sellers’ obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Sellers can demonstrate that any Damages relating to such Tax Contest would likely have been less if they had controlled such Tax Contest.  Purchaser and the Company shall use their reasonable efforts to provide the Seller Representative with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Seller Representative in connection with a Tax Contest controlled solely or jointly by the Seller Representative.

7.3 Publicity.  The parties hereto shall coordinate all publicity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no party shall issue any press release, publicity statement or other public notice relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without obtaining the prior consent of the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) or Purchaser, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except to the extent required by applicable Law; provided, however, that after the date of this Agreement and after the Closing, Purchaser may issue press releases and otherwise disclose information about the Contemplated Transactions to the public or the media with a level of detail generally equivalent to reasonable and customary standards for disclosure by publicly traded companies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent Purchaser from making such disclosures as it shall have been advised by counsel are required by Law or the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Global Market.

7.4 Confidentiality.  From and after the date of this Agreement, the Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and advisors (collectively, the “Recipients”) to, keep confidential any information relating to the Company or Purchaser, and shall not disclose any of same to any Person or use any such information for personal advantage or to the detriment of the Company or Purchaser, except for any such information that (i) is available to the public on the Closing Date, (ii) thereafter

38

becomes available to the public other than as a result of actions taken or a disclosure made by the Sellers or any of their Recipients, (iii) is or becomes available to the Sellers or any of their Recipients on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the Sellers or such Recipient or (iv) is independently developed by any of the Recipients without use of any confidential information of Company or Purchaser; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 7.4 shall prohibit any Seller or Recipient from disclosing any information should such Seller or Recipient be required by Law to disclose any such information (provided, that in any such case such Seller or Recipient shall inform Purchaser in writing of such request or obligation as soon as possible after such Seller or Recipient is informed of it and, if possible, before any information is disclosed, so that a protective order or other appropriate remedy may be obtained by Purchaser).  If any Seller or Recipient is obligated to make such disclosure, it shall only make such disclosure to the extent to which it is so obligated, but not further or otherwise.

7.5 Equitable Remedies.  The Sellers each acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of Sections 7.1, 7.4 or 12.1 will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser, for which an adequate monetary remedy does not exist.  Accordingly, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to the exercise of other remedies, to seek and (subject to court approval) obtain injunctive relief, without necessity of posting a bond, restraining the Sellers and their Affiliates from committing such breach or threatened breach, or enforce specific performance.  The rights provided under this Section 7.5 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser or the Company.

7.6 Further Actions.  The Sellers and the Company will, and will cause their Affiliates to, coordinate and cooperate with Purchaser in exchanging such information and supplying such assistance as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the filings and other actions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.7 Excluded Businesses.  As and when requested by any party, the other parties shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to transfer the Excluded Businesses, any assets or liabilities related thereto, and any employees of the Company whose services are related primarily thereto, from the Company to the Sellers, CIMA or LE.

10. INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

10.1 Indemnification. Subject to the limitations of Section 10.2:

(a) The Sellers, jointly and severally, and solely with respect to Article 4, on a several and not joint basis, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against, and to reimburse and pay Purchaser as incurred with respect to, Damages arising out of, relating to, or resulting from (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of any Seller or the Company in this Agreement, any schedule hereto, the Escrow Agreement or any certificate delivered by any Seller, the Company or the Seller Representative pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (ii) any breach by any Seller, the Company or the Seller Representative of any covenant (including, without limitation, the covenants in Section 7.3) to be performed by any of them under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any certificate delivered by any Seller, the Company or the Seller Representative pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (iii) any and all claims for Brokers Obligations (other than such claims by brokers or finders engaged by Purchaser or its Affiliates), (iv) any claim by a third party against Purchaser or the Company relating to the operation of the Excluded Businesses at any time (other than Excluded Business Tax Claims), (v) the matters set forth on Schedule 10.1(a)(v) and (vi) any claim relating to Taxes relating to the Excluded Businesses (collectively, “Excluded Business Tax Claims”).  Each claim for Damages described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 10.1(a) (to the extent that such claim relates to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.11 or the

43

covenants set forth in Section 7.2) is referred to herein as a “Tax Claim” and collectively as the “Tax Claims.”

(b) Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sellers from and against, and to reimburse and pay Sellers as incurred with respect to, any and all Damages resulting from (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Purchaser or Holdings in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any certificate delivered by Purchaser or Holdings pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (ii) any breach by Purchaser or Holdings of any covenant to be performed by it under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any certificate delivered by Purchaser or Holdings pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and (iii) any and all claims for Broker Obligations by brokers or finders engaged by Purchaser or Holdings.

(c) For purposes of Sellers’ obligations to indemnify Purchaser under Section 10.1(a), (i) “Purchaser” shall include the Company, Purchaser, and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, managers, members, agents and representatives and the successors and assigns of each, and (ii) the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) may elect in writing to satisfy any Damages claim asserted by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 10 from the Escrow Funds or by paying cash or other Closing Shares; provided that such election shall be delivered to the Purchaser within three (3) Business Day of the date of final settlement or final adjudication of the claim or claims (as applicable) from which the related Damages arose and that such payment is made within three (3) Business Days following the Business Day upon which such election is delivered to the Purchaser. To the extent that the Seller Representative elects to satisfy any Damages claim by payment of Escrow Shares in the Escrow Account or other Closing Shares, the number of such shares required to satisfy such Damages shall be determined based on each such share having a value equal to the Share Price of such share on the date of settlement or final adjudication of the related claim. To the extent that the Seller Representative elects to satisfy any Damages claim by payment of cash, a number of Escrow Shares in the Escrow Account equal to the number of shares required to satisfy such Damages calculated pursuant to the previous sentence shall be released from the Escrow Account three (3) Business Days after such payment of cash by Sellers.

10.2 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Limitations. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, Sellers, Purchaser and Holdings contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, subject to the limitations in this Section 10.2.  The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties and covenants will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty or covenant. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty (including pursuant to the conditions contained in Sections 8.1 and 9.1), or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties and covenants.

(a) Time Limitations. No party shall have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for a breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty unless such

44

party is given written notice (such notice, in the case of a claim by Purchaser, to be given to Sellers’ Representative for and on behalf of all of Sellers) asserting a claim with respect thereto and specifying the factual basis of the claim and extent of the Damages in reasonable detail, to the extent then known or available, on or before the date that is twenty four (24) months from the Closing, provided that (i) there shall be no time limit for any claim by Purchaser for a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Article 4, the first sentence of Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.2 or the first sentence of 5.8(b) (ii) there shall be no time limit for any claim by any party for Damages arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentations (“Fraud Claims”), (iii) the time limit for any claim by Purchaser for a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.11, 5.14, 5.18 or a Tax Claim by Purchaser under Section 10.1 shall be the applicable statute of limitations for such a claim plus thirty (30) days, after taking into account all extensions, and (iv) there shall be no time limit for any claim by Sellers for a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 6.6 or 6.7.  Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, the time limit for any claim by either Purchaser or any Seller for a breach of any covenants under this Agreement to be performed by a Seller or Purchaser, respectively, after the Closing shall be the time period, if any, specified therein, or, if none is specified, shall be indefinite.

(b) Dollar Limitations - Minimum. Neither Sellers, on the one hand, nor Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be liable to the other for indemnification under Section 10.1 for a claim for breach of any representation or warranty of the other party unless and until the aggregate Damages incurred by such party as a result of all breaches of all such representations and warranties (other than the Excluded Warranties) exceeds $500,000 (the “Basket”), provided that in the event that the amount of Damages incurred by such party exceed the Basket, such party shall be indemnified by the other party only for the amount of such Damages that is in excess of $50,000.  This Section 10.2(b), and the limitations set forth herein, shall not apply to Damages relating to or arising out of (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty set forth in Article 4, the first sentence of Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.2, 5.7(a), the first sentence of 5.8(b), 5.19, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, or 6.6 (each such warranty an “Excluded Warranty”) (b) Fraud Claims, (c) any breach of the covenants of any Seller, Purchaser or the Seller Representative in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (d) any claim under Section 10.1(a)(iii), (iv) or (v) or (e) any Excluded Business Tax Claim relating to the use by the Company of net operating losses generated by CIMA.

(c) Dollar Limitations - Maximum. The maximum aggregate liability of Sellers to Purchaser under this Agreement for breaches of representations, warranties and agreements, including but not limited to liability under Section 10.1, shall be $25,000,000 (such sum, the “Cap”). The maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser to Sellers under this Agreement for Purchaser’s and Holdings’ breaches of representations, warranties and agreements, including but not limited to liability under Section 10.1, shall be $10,000,000.  The Cap shall not apply to Damages relating to or arising out of (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty set forth in Article 4, the first sentence of Section 5.1(a), 5.1(c), 5.2, 5.7(a), the first sentence of 5.8(b) or 5.19, (b) Fraud Claims, (c) any breach of the covenants of any Seller, Purchaser or the Seller Representative in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (d) any claim under Section 10.1(a)(iii), (iv) or (v) or (e) any Excluded Business Tax Claim.

45

(d) Intellectual Property Actions. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, except for Fraud Claims, the Sellers shall not be liable to the Purchaser for Damages for breach of the Sellers’ representations and warranties in Section 5.24(b)(ii), 5.24(c)(ii) or 5.24(e) unless such Damages arise out of or result from an Action brought by a third party against the Purchaser or the Company relating to the subject matter of such representations and in such circumstances the Sellers shall be liable only to the extent that the Damages relate to products (i) sold by the Company, (ii) ordered by the Company, (iii) in the inventory of the Company, or (iv) in transit to the Company from suppliers, on or prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Exclusive Remedy; Equitable Relief. The parties’ rights to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any related agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, none of the limitations set forth in this Section 10.2 shall limit in any way the Purchaser’s or Sellers’ right to obtain equitable relief in connection with any Fraud Claim or any breach of Section 7.1.

(f) No Consequential Damages. Neither Purchaser nor any Seller shall be liable, by way of indemnification or otherwise, under any legal theory, for any punitive (except for penalties related to Tax Claims), indirect or consequential damages, including without limitation, loss of profits or inability to achieve savings. This limitation shall be effective even if Purchaser or any Seller or Seller Representative, as the case may be, has been advised of, or might have anticipated, the possibility of such Losses

10.3 Procedures with Respect to Third-Party Claims. Promptly after any Seller’s or the Purchaser’s receipt of notice of commencement of any action or proceeding against the Company, any Seller or the Purchaser that may result in Damages with respect to which the Company, any Seller or the Purchaser may claim indemnification under this Section 10, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to Section 10.2(a) and Section 12.6 if it wishes to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 10.  If the Purchaser is delivering written notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Purchaser shall deliver such notice to the Seller Representative. The Indemnifying Party shall then be entitled to participate in such action or proceeding and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. Upon notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof in accordance herewith, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under Section 10.1 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than the reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if so requested by the Indemnifying Party or, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such an Action, (a) no compromise or

46

settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).  If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any action pursuant to Section 10.2(a) and it does not, within thirty (30) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an action may materially and adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages, such Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s selection, but the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to a compromise or settlement thereof entered into without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

10.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Sellers and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

10.5 Interest, Penalties or Additions to Tax. For purposes of the calculation of any indemnity payment under this Article 10, any interest, penalties or additions to Tax accruing before, on or after the Closing Date with respect to a liability for Taxes for which Purchaser is entitled to recover from Sellers shall be deemed to be attributable to a Tax period with respect to which Sellers are required to indemnify Purchaser.

10.6 Reduction of Amounts Paid for Claims. This Section 10.6 shall apply to all claims of Purchaser related to or arising out of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any related agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation claims pursuant to Section 10.1.  The amount which Sellers are required to pay in respect of any such claim shall be reduced (including retroactively) by the amount of any payments received by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates pursuant to insurance policies of Purchaser and its Affiliates covering Damages related to such claim or against any other third party.

11. REGISTRATION OF RESALE OF THE CLOSING SHARES.

11.1 Registration Statement. Holdings hereby covenants to file with the SEC a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act within 75 days after the Closing in order to effect the registration of the resale of the Closing Shares and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as soon thereafter as possible. All expenses related to the filing and declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (excluding all legal fees, commissions and other offering costs, and other expenses incurred by the Sellers) shall be borne by Holdings. Once the Registration Statement has been declared

47

effective, the Purchaser shall, subject to Section 11.3, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for each Seller until the earlier of the second anniversary of the Closing or when such Seller’s Closing Shares may all be sold by such Seller without restriction under Rule 144.

11.2 Cooperation. The Sellers shall cooperate with Holdings in the preparation, filing and process of securing the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and shall furnish to Holdings such information relating to them and such further and supplemental information as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by Holdings for use in the Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto. Holdings will advise the Sellers of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and of the issuance of any stop order with respect to the effectiveness thereof.

11.3 Restriction on Offers and Sales. Upon receipt of any notice from Holdings of the existence of any circumstance or the occurrence of any event as a result of which (a) any such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or (b) any such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Sellers shall not offer or sell any Closing Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement until the Sellers receive from Holdings copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus and notice that any related post-effective amendment has become effective, and, if so directed by Holdings, the Sellers shall deliver to Holdings all copies in their possession, other than permanent file copies then in their possession, of the prospectus as theretofore in effect. The Sellers’ obligation pursuant to the preceding sentence not to offer or sell Closing Shares shall not extend longer than sixty (60) consecutive days in any instance nor for more than one hundred fifty (150) days in any twelve (12) month period.

11.4 Indemnification by Holdings. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings will indemnify the Sellers, with respect to any registration effected pursuant this Article 11, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) made in such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Sellers for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that Holdings shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to Holdings by either Seller.

11.5 Indemnification by Sellers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Sellers will, jointly and severally, indemnify Holdings, each of its directors, officers and agents, and each person who controls Holdings within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact made by either

48

Seller and provided by such Seller for inclusion in the Registration Statement or any prospectus included therein, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated by either Seller therein or necessary to make the statements by such Seller therein not misleading, and will reimburse Holdings and its directors, officers, agents and control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the obligations of Seller hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to Seller of securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.

11.6 Indemnification Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under Section 11.4 or 11.5 (a “Registration Rights Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Registration Rights Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Registration Rights Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Registration Rights Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Registration Rights Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense (unless the Registration Rights Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may exist a material conflict of interest between the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party and the Registration Rights Indemnified Party in such action, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of the Registration Rights Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party), and provided further that the failure of any Registration Rights Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No Registration Rights Indemnifed Party shall, except with the consent of the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any such claim or litigation. Each Registration Rights Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question and such other support as the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

11.7 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 11.4 or 11.5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to a Registration Rights Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Registration Rights Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Registration Rights Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Registration Rights Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party and of the Registration Rights Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or alleged untrue) statement of a material fact or the omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party or by the Registration Rights Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and

49

opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that the obligations of the Sellers hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to the Sellers of securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Seller Representative. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx (the “Seller Representative”) is hereby constituted to act as the joint representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for the Sellers and their successors and assigns, effective immediately after the date hereof, for all purposes under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and the Seller Representative, by its respective signature below, agrees to serve in such capacity. The Seller Representative shall have the power and authority to take such actions on behalf of each Seller as the Seller Representative, in its sole judgment, may deem to be in the best interests of the Sellers or otherwise appropriate on all matters related to or arising from this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Sellers as may exist, each Seller hereby consents to the taking by the Seller Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by him under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and acknowledges and agrees that notice served to the Seller Representative in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall constitute notice to all of the Sellers. Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Seller Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller by the Seller Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller by the Seller Representative, and all of the foregoing shall be fully binding upon the Sellers. Sellers may elect to appoint another Person as Seller Representative at any time by ten (10) days written notice to Purchaser and such Person shall, from the date that is ten (10) days from Purchaser’s receipt of such notice, and after such Person’s execution of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, have all rights and obligations of the Seller Representative herein. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any such appointment in such notice. No change in the Seller Representative shall be effective as against the Purchaser or the Company until the Purchaser or the Company have received written notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Seller Representative’s liabilities and obligations to Purchaser under this Agreement as a Seller shall in no manner be increased to any extent because of his role as Seller Representative hereunder and the Seller Representative shall have no liability to any Seller on account of his activities as the Seller Representative, except for acts of intentional misconduct. The Seller Representative’s powers shall include, without limitation:

(a) executing and delivering the Escrow Agreement and any and all supplements, amendments, waivers or modifications thereto and all certificates, consents and other documents contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement or as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the Contemplated Transactions;

(b) giving and receiving all notices, services of process and other communications relating to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

50

(c) taking or refraining from taking any actions (whether by negotiation, settlement, litigation or otherwise) to resolve or settle all matters and disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the performance or enforcement of the obligations, duties and rights pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

(d) authorizing or disputing the release to the Purchaser of all or some of the Escrow Funds contained in the Escrow Account in connection with any claim by Purchaser pursuant to Article 10;

(e) taking all actions necessary or appropriate in connection with the defense and or settlement of any and all claims for which the Sellers may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to Article 10;

(f) taking all actions necessary or appropriate in connection with any disputes regarding the adjustment of the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2; and

(g) taking all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Seller Representative to accomplish any of the foregoing.

The provisions of this Section 12.1 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Seller may have in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives and successor trustees of each Seller. Remedies available at law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 12.1 are likely to be inadequate, and therefore Purchaser and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief without the necessity of proving damages if Purchaser or the Company brings an action to enforce the provisions of this Section 12.1.

If Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, the initial Seller Representative, resigns from such position or is unable to continue in such position, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx shall promptly designate a successor and, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, such successor shall be the Seller Representative for all purposes hereunder and thereunder. If any successor Seller Representative resigns from such position or is unable to continue in such position, a representative of the Sellers shall promptly designate a successor and, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, such successor shall be the Seller Representative for all purposes hereunder and thereunder. In the absence of such designation, the Purchaser may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Seller Representative and the costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such proceding shall be paid by the Sellers.

12.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all schedules and exhibits, contains, and is intended as, a complete statement of all of the terms and the arrangements between the parties with respect to the matters provided for, supersedes any previous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to those matters (including, without limitation, the letter agreement dated as of August 12, 2008 between the Company, the Sellers and Purchaser and the Confidential Disclosure Agreement dated as of July 14, 2008 by and between the Company and Purchaser), and cannot be changed or terminated orally.

51

12.3         Further Assurances.  From time to time, as and when requested by any party, the other parties shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

12.4         Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 7.1 of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein.

12.5         Headings.  The section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  All references in this Agreement to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits are to sections, schedules and exhibits to this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.

12.6         Notices.  All demands, notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile machine (with a confirmation copy sent by one of the other methods authorized in this Section), reputable commercial overnight delivery service (including Federal Express and U.S. Postal Service overnight delivery service) or, deposited with the U.S. Postal Service mailed first class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, as set forth below:

12.7         Binding Effect; Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as provided in Section 10.1(c), nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not party to this Agreement.  No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either party (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other (with the Seller Representative having the right to execute such writing on behalf of the Sellers) and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void; provided that Purchaser shall not be required under this Section 12.7 to obtain the prior written consent of the Sellers in connection with the assignment of Purchaser’s rights hereunder (i) as collateral in connection with any financing of Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or the Company, (ii) to any of its Affiliates, including by way of merger of Purchaser with and into any of its Affiliates, or (iii) in connection with any sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or the Company, including by way of a merger.
