2.3 Working Capital Adjustment.
(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to
Shareholders (such delivery, the “Post-Closing Delivery”): a calculation of the Working
Capital of Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Working
Capital”).
(b) The Shareholders (acting jointly) shall have thirty (30) days from the date Purchaser
makes the Post-Closing Delivery (such period, the “Dispute Period”) to notify Purchaser, in
writing, as to whether the Shareholders agree or disagree with the calculations set forth on the
Post-Closing Delivery (such written notice, the “Dispute Notice”). During the Dispute
Period, the Shareholders shall be permitted to review (during regular business hours and upon
reasonable prior notice) the working papers of Purchaser and (where applicable) the Purchaser’s
accountants (and any other pertinent documents reasonably required by the Shareholders) relating to
the matters set forth in the Post-Closing Delivery.
(c) If the Shareholders (acting jointly) fail to deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser during
the Dispute Period, (i) the Closing Date Balance Sheet as prepared by
7
Purchaser shall be deemed to
have been correctly prepared, and (ii) Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Date Working Capital
shall be deemed to be final and correct and shall be binding upon each of the parties hereto.
(d) If the Shareholders (acting jointly) deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser during the
Dispute Period, the Shareholders (acting jointly) and Purchaser shall, for a period of forty-five
(45) days from the date the Dispute Notice is delivered to Purchaser (such period, the
“Resolution Period”), use their respective reasonable best efforts to amicably resolve the
items in dispute. Any items so resolved by the parties shall be deemed to be final and correct as
so resolved and shall be binding upon each of the parties hereto.
(e) If the Shareholders (acting jointly) and Purchaser are unable to resolve all of the items
in dispute during the Resolution Period, then either the Shareholders (acting jointly) or Purchaser
may refer the items remaining in dispute to Independent Accountants. The Shareholders (acting
jointly) and Purchaser shall each submit an affidavit to the other evidencing no conflict with the
selected accounting firm, and such firm shall so certify to the Shareholders and Purchaser that no
conflicts exist. Such referral shall be made to the Independent Accountants in writing not later
than thirty (30) days after the end of the Resolution Period, copies of which shall concurrently be
delivered to the non-referring parties hereto. The referring party shall furnish the Independent
Accountants, at the time of such referral, with the Post-Closing Delivery and the Dispute Notice.
The parties shall also furnish the Independent Accountants with such other information and
documents as the Independent Accountants may reasonably request in order for them to resolve the
items in dispute. The Shareholders (acting jointly) and Purchaser shall each also, within ten (10)
days of the date the items in dispute are referred to the Independent Accountants, provide the
Independent Accountants with a written notice (a “Position Statement”) describing in
reasonable detail their respective positions on the items in dispute (copies of which will
concurrently be delivered to the other party hereto). If any party fails to timely deliver its
Position Statement to the Independent Accountants, the Independent Accountants shall resolve the
items in dispute solely upon the basis of the information otherwise provided to them. The
Independent Accountants shall resolve all disputed items in a written determination to be delivered
to the Shareholders and Purchaser within forty-five (45) days after such matter is referred to
them; provided, however, that any delay in delivering such determination shall not
invalidate such determination or deprive the Independent Accountants of jurisdiction to resolve the
items in dispute. The decision of the Independent Accountants as to the items in dispute shall be
final and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to judicial review. The fees
and expenses of the Independent Accountants incurred in the resolution of any items in dispute
shall be reasonably determined by the Independent Accountants and set forth in their report and
shall be allocated and paid by the Shareholders (jointly) and Purchaser in inverse proportion to
the extent they prevailed on the items in dispute.
(f) Within five (5) business days after the final determination of the Closing Date Balance
Sheet and the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital (whether through
failure of Shareholders to timely deliver a Dispute Notice, agreement of the parties, or
determination of the Independent Accountants),
8
(i) if Closing Date Working Capital is less than the Base Working Capital, Xx.
Xxxxxx shall pay Purchaser 50% of the difference and Xx. Xxxxx shall pay Purchaser 50% of
the difference; or
(ii) if the amount of cash included in Closing Date Working Capital is less than One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Xx. Xxxxxx shall pay Purchaser 50% of the difference
and Xx. Xxxxx shall pay Purchaser 50% of the difference; or
(iii) if Closing Date Working Capital is more than the Base Working
Capital and the amount of cash included in Closing Date Working Capital is greater
than One Hundred Thousand Dollars, Purchaser shall pay Shareholders the difference
up to the amount of cash in excess of $100,000.
(g) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser and the Shareholders, all payments
under Section 2.3(f) above shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
an account or accounts designated in writing by the Shareholders or Purchaser, as appropriate,
which designation shall be made by the party receiving such payment no later than one (1) business
day prior to the payment date.
(h) If Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Post-Closing Delivery or if during the Resolution
Period the dispute described in the Dispute Notice is not resolved and Purchaser fails to timely
refer the dispute to the Independent Accountants, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any adjustment
under this Section 2.3.

8.3 Limitations on Indemnity.
(a) The Shareholders shall not have any liability or obligation to Purchaser or the Company
whatsoever, and no claim shall be asserted against the Shareholders, for indemnification under
Section 8.1(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by Purchaser and/or
the Company as a result thereof exceeds $100,000, and then only to the extent the aggregate amount
of such Losses exceeds $100,000 and is less than Four Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($4,750,000); provided, however, that the limitations set
forth above in this Section 8.3(a) shall not apply to (i) any intentional breach of
the Shareholders’ representations or warranties of which any Shareholder had knowledge at any time
prior to or on the date hereof, or (ii) claims for indemnification resulting from the breach or
inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.5(a),

8.4 Third-Party Claims.
(a) Promptly after receipt by a party hereto entitled to indemnity under Section 8.1
or Section 8.2 (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a claim for
which such party hereto is entitled to indemnity hereunder against it by a third party (a
“Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the party hereto
obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of
such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not
relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim
is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.
(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section
8.4(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume
the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After
notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense
of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts
such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article VIII for any fees or
costs of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim,
in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such
Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) such
assumption will establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party
Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement
of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the
Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any party; and (B) the sole
relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person. If notice is
given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying
Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice
to the Indemnified Person of assumption of the defense of such claim as set forth above, the
Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any
compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person, and shall be liable to the Indemnified
Person for any costs and expenses incurred in the defense of such claim.
ARTICLE IX

ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
TERMINATION
10.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may be terminated:
(a) by Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Shareholders (acting jointly), on the other hand, if
a material breach of any provision (including representations and warranties) of this Agreement has
been committed by the other party and such breach has not been waived in writing or, if capable of
being cured, not cured before the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after such breach, or (ii) the
Termination Date;
(b) (i) by Purchaser if any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 have
not been satisfied as of the Termination Date or if satisfaction of such a condition becomes
impossible (other than through failure of Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this
Agreement) and Purchaser has not waived such condition in writing on or before the Termination
Date, or (ii) by the Shareholders (acting jointly) if any of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 7.2 have not been satisfied as of the Termination Date or if satisfaction of such a
condition becomes impossible (other than through failure of the Company and/or the Shareholders to
comply with their obligations under this Agreement) and the Shareholders (acting jointly) has not
waived such condition in writing on or before the Termination Date; or
(c) by mutual written agreement of Purchaser and the Shareholders (acting jointly).
10.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated under Section
10.1 above, no party hereto shall have any further obligation under this Agreement.
10.3 Termination Fee.
(a) If all of the conditions of Section 7.1 are met on or before the Termination Date,
and Purchaser fails or refuses to close for any reason the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement on or before the Termination Date, the Shareholders shall be entitled to retain the
entire Deposit Amount as liquidated damages. The parties hereto expressly agree and acknowledge
that Shareholder’s actual damages in the event of a default by Purchaser would be extremely
difficult or impracticable to ascertain and that the Deposit Amount plus any interest accrued
thereon represents the parties’ reasonable estimate of such damages. The payment of such amount as
liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of California
Civil Code Sections 3275 or 3369, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to the
Shareholders pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1671.
(b) If all of the conditions of Section 7.2 are met on or before the Termination Date,
and the Company and the Shareholders fail or refuse to close for any reason the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement on or before the Termination Date, the entire Deposit Amount shall
be paid back to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall, at its option, be entitled to payment by the
Shareholders and the Company of $300,000 as liquidated damages (in addition to any portion of the
Deposit Amount retained by the Company) within ten (10) business days after termination of this
Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree and acknowledge that Purchaser’s actual
28
damages in
the event of a default by Company or the Shareholders would be extremely difficult or impracticable
to ascertain and that $300,000 plus any interest accrued thereon represents the parties’ reasonable
estimate of such damages. The payment of such amount as liquidated damages is not intended as a
forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of California Civil Code Sections 3275 or 3369, but is
intended to constitute liquidated damages to the Purchaser pursuant to California Civil Code
Section 1671.
(c) In the event Purchaser fails to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement on or
before the Termination Date because of a failure to satisfy the condition set forth in Section
7.1(a), and such failure is due to a breach by the Company or the Shareholders of this
Agreement, or Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(a) above for
breach by the Shareholders or the Company, the entire Deposit Amount shall be paid back to
Purchaser.
(d) If the Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(i) above
for a failure of satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 7.1(e), or the Company
or the Shareholders terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(ii) above for
failure of satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(d), the Shareholders
shall be entitled to retain the entire Deposit Amount as liquidated damages.

of California, without regard to such jurisdiction’s conflict of laws principles.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any controversy, claim or dispute arising

Indiana if brought by the Company (prior to Closing) or the Shareholders (or either of them), and
(ii) in the City of San Diego, California if brought by the Company (after the Closing) or
Purchaser. The arbitration shall be governed by the rules and procedures of the American
Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. No provision
of, nor the exercise of any rights under, this Section 11.4 shall limit the right of any
party to request and obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction before, during or after the
pendency of any arbitration, provisional or ancillary remedies and relief including injunctive or
mandatory relief or the appointment of a receiver. The institution and maintenance of an action or
judicial proceeding for, or pursuit of, provisional or ancillary remedies shall not constitute a
waiver of the right of any party, even if it is the plaintiff, to submit the dispute to
arbitration if such party would otherwise have such right. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
11.5 Partial Invalidity. In case any one or more of the provisions contained herein
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement,

affixed to a counterpart of this Agreement and delivered by facsimile by any Person is intended to
be its, his or her signature and shall be valid, binding and enforceable against the party on whose
behalf it has been affixed.

limitation, the Letter of Interest, dated October 19, 2005). The parties, only by mutual agreement
in writing, may amend, modify or supplement this Agreement. The failure of any party to this
Agreement to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a
waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part
hereof or the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver
of any
breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any
31
other or subsequent
breach. Time shall be of the essence in the payment and performance by each party of all of its
obligations under this Agreement.
11.8 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is intended and agreed to be solely
