AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 24, 2003, by and among COTELLIGENT, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), RECENCY MEDIA USA, INC., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), and ON-SITE MEDIA, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). Each of Parent, Sub and the Company are referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and are collectively referred to as the “Parties.” XXXXX X. XXXXXXX (“Xxxxxxx”), XXXXXXX X. XXXX (“Xxxx”), XXXX XXXXX (“Slitz”), THE SLITZ FAMILY TRUST, and LAS VEGAS VENTURE FUND I, LLC (collectively, the “Stockholder Parties”) hereby join in the execution of this Agreement for purposes of Article 8 and Section 9.1. Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have that meaning specified in Exhibit A hereto.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent, Sub and the Company have approved the merger of the Company with and into Sub (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined below) in accordance with the terms hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Parties are making certain representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities herein as an inducement to the other Parties to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Merger.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”), and the Nevada General Corporation Law, as amended (the “NGCL”), the Company shall be merged with and into Sub at the Effective Time (as defined below). Following the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease and Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) under the laws of the State of Delaware and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Company in accordance with the DGCL and NGCL.

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) and all actions specified in this Agreement to occur at the Closing shall take place at the offices of the Company, at 0000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000, at 10:00 a.m., local

Las Vegas time, no later than the second (2nd) business day following the day on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article 6 shall have been fulfilled or waived, or at such other time and place as the Parties shall agree. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective when (a) articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the NGCL, are filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and (b) a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger,” together with the Articles of Merger, the “Merger Filings”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, upon written mutual consent of the Parties, the Merger Filings may provide for a later date and time of effectiveness of the Merger. When used in this Agreement, the term “Effective Time” shall mean the date and time at which the Merger Filings have been accepted for record or such later date and time established by the Merger Filings. The filing of the Merger Filings shall be made on the date of the Closing.

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the NGCL and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.5 Charter and Bylaws; Directors and Officers.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Sub (the “Sub Charter”) shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by the Sub Charter.

(b) The directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be as set forth in Schedule 1.5(b), and such directors shall serve in accordance with the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

(c) The officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be as set forth in Schedule 1.5(c), and such officers shall serve in accordance with the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

Section 1.6 Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”) pursuant to this Agreement shall be:

(a) up to 10,679,612 shares of Parent Common Stock;

(b) up to 5,339,806 Warrant Shares; and

(c) $650,000 in cash (the “Aggregate Cash Consideration”); provided that at Closing (A) $604,000 of the Aggregate Cash Consideration shall be payable to holders of Company Common Stock who make the Equity/Cash Election (as defined below) in accordance with this Agreement, (B) $46,000 of the Aggregate Cash Consideration (the “Settlement Allowance”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to an Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”) during the pendency of the Aladdin Claim.

In addition, the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted both on and after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 1.12 and may be withheld or offset in accordance with Section 1.13.

Section 1.7 Conversion of Securities; Election of Consideration.

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Sub or any holder of any capital stock of the Company or Sub, subject to Sections 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 1.7(e)) shall be converted into, and shall be canceled in exchange for, the right to receive at the stockholders election in accordance with the procedures described below:

(i) Equity Unit(s) in the amount determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c); or

(ii) a combination of (A) cash and (B) Equity Unit(s) in the amount determined pursuant to Section 1.7(d) (the “Equity/Cash Consideration”).

(b) Election of Consideration. Each stockholder will be given the opportunity to elect to receive with respect to such stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock either Equity Unit(s) (an “Equity Election”), or the Equity/Cash Consideration (an “Equity/Cash Election”). Each stockholder that either (i) makes an Equity Election, (ii) does not submit a properly completed Election Form (as defined below) prior to the Election Deadline (as defined below), (iii) revokes an Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and does not resubmit a properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline, or (iv) makes no election, shall be deemed to have made an Equity Election.

(c) Consideration upon Equity Election. If a stockholder makes, or is deemed to have made, an Equity Election, such stockholder shall be entitled to receive, a number of Equity Units equal to the product of:

(i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such stockholder, multiplied by

(ii) the quotient of (A) the Deemed Value Per Share, divided by (B) the Deemed Value (Equity Unit).

(d) Consideration upon Equity/Cash Election. Each stockholder making an Equity/Cash Election shall be entitled to receive:

(i) cash in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Aggregate Cash Consideration, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such stockholder, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by all stockholders making an Equity/Cash Election (the “Cash Value Per Share”); and

(ii) a number of Equity Units equal to the product of:

(A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such stockholder, multiplied by

(B) the quotient of (1) the difference between the Deemed Value Per Share and the Cash Value Per Share, divided by (2) the Deemed Value (Equity Unit).

The Parties acknowledge that (i) the Settlement Allowance represents a portion of the Aggregate Cash Consideration, (ii) the Settlement Allowance shall be placed in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, which reduces the cash deliverable to the stockholder upon surrender of such stockholder’s stock certificate, and (iii) the resolution of the Aladdin Claim may reduce or eliminate the Settlement Allowance, which will reduce the actual cash paid to stockholders making the Equity/Cash Election.

(e) Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, each share of Company Common Stock, if any, held in treasury by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and shall cease to exist from and after the Effective Time without any payment being made therefore.

(f) Capital Stock of Sub. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Sub (the “Sub Shares”) shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(g) Sample Calculation. For purposes of clarification, attached as Schedule 1.7(g) is a sample of the calculation that the Parties have agreed to use to determine the consideration to be received by each stockholder of the Company upon making the election specified in Section 1.7(b).

Section 1.8 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Parent shall designate an exchange agent to act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for purposes of conducting the election procedure and the exchange procedure described in Section 1.7 and Section 1.9. Provided that the Company has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information which is necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform its obligations as specified herein, the Exchange Agent shall, no later than the fifteenth (15^th) business day prior to the anticipated Effective Time, mail or make available to each stockholder of record of a Certificate or Certificates (as defined below):

(i) a notice and letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) advising such stockholder of the anticipated effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Exchange Agent such Certificate or Certificates in exchange for the consideration set forth in Section 1.7 hereof deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii) an election form in such form as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree (an “Election Form”).

(b) Any election to receive Equity Units or Equity/Cash Consideration shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form will be properly completed only if accompanied by Certificates representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered thereby, subject to the provisions of Section 1.9(c). Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such written notice is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. The Certificate or Certificates representing Company Common Stock relating to any revoked Election Form shall be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine when any election, modification or revocation is received, whether any such election, modification or revocation has been properly made and to disregard immaterial defects in any Election Form, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither Parent nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

Section 1.9 Exchange Procedures.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, Parent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent (i) certificates evidencing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable, (ii) warrants representing the number of Warrant Shares issuable, and the Aggregate Cash Consideration (less the Settlement Allowance) payable pursuant to this Article 1 in exchange for Certificates representing outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

(b) Each holder of an outstanding Certificate or Certificates who has surrendered such Certificate or Certificates to the Exchange Agent will, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to the Merger Consideration into which the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such

Certificate or Certificates surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to such stockholder’s election (to the extent such stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into Parent Common Stock), provided that no stockholder shall be entitled to receive interest on any cash distributed to such stockholder. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Each outstanding Certificate which prior to the Effective Time represented Company Common Stock and which is not surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein shall, except as otherwise herein provided, until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent be deemed to evidence the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of the Company of Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock and if such Certificates are presented to the Company for transfer, they shall be cancelled against delivery of the applicable Merger Consideration as hereinabove provided. No dividends which have been declared will be remitted to any Person entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Stock under this Agreement until such Person surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing Company Common Stock, at which time such dividends shall be remitted to such Person, without interest.

(c) Appropriate transmittal materials in a form satisfactory to Parent (including a letter of transmittal specifying that delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title to such Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificate to the Exchange Agent) shall be mailed as soon as practicable after the Effective Time to each holder of Company Common Stock as of the Effective Time who did not previously submit a properly completed Election Form. Parent shall not be obligated to deliver any Merger Consideration to which a holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 1.9, or, in default thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond as may be required by Parent or the Exchange Agent. If any certificates evidencing shares of Parent Common Stock or warrants evidencing Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate evidencing Company Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefore is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock and/or a warrant representing Warrant Shares in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent pursuant to Section 1.9(a) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time (as well as any proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Parent. Any

stockholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with Section 1.9(c) shall thereafter look only to Parent for the consideration deliverable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates for shares of Company Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable Law, become the property of Parent (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of the Company to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

Section 1.10 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of Company Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the last sale price of a share of Parent Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on the business day preceding the Effective Time, rounded to the nearest whole cent. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

Section 1.11 Dissenting Shares. Each outstanding share of Company Common Stock the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under the NGCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive Merger Consideration hereunder. Rather, the holder thereof shall be entitled only to payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 92A.380 of the NGCL. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands filed pursuant to Section 92A.380 received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served in connection with such demands pursuant to the NGCL and received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands under the NGCL consistent with the obligations of the Company there under. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, (x) make any payment with respect to, or to any person making, any such demand, (y) offer to settle or settle any such demand or (z) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand in accordance with the NGCL. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent (which

shares are referred to as “Unperfected Dissenting Shares”) at any time, the Unperfected Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be converted on a share by share basis into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, as Parent or the Exchange Agent shall determine, without any interest thereon. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.12 Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Not more than ten (10), but not less than five (5), business days prior to the scheduled Closing, the Company will deliver to Parent an estimate of the Company’s Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”). If the Estimated Net Working Capital is negative (less than $0), then such shortfall shall be deducted from the Aggregate Cash Consideration delivered at Closing on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent, at its sole expense, shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative a final balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Proposed Closing Balance Sheet”), together with its proposed final calculation of Net Working Capital based on the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet (the “Proposed Closing Net Working Capital”) and its proposed adjustment, if any, to the Aggregate Cash Consideration based on the difference between the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital (the “Proposed Adjustment”). The Proposed Closing Net Working Capital and Proposed Adjustment shall be accompanied by any supporting documentation or other materials reasonably necessary to determine such calculation or adjustment. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative does not object in writing to the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital and/or the Proposed Adjustment within fifteen (15) days after receipt of same, then the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital and Proposed Adjustment shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative and all of the Company’s former stockholders and shall become final and binding. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative timely objects in writing to the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital and/or Proposed Adjustment, then Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days. If Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to reach an agreement within such thirty (30) day period, they shall submit the dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, whose determination of the adjustment, if any, to the Aggregate Cash Consideration shall be made in accordance with this Section 1.12 and shall be final and binding. Parent and the Company’s former stockholders shall jointly share the fees and expenses of such accounting firm. The amount of any adjustments to the Aggregate Cash Consideration determined pursuant to this subparagraph shall be referred to as the “Final Working Capital Adjustment.” Any amounts owing as a result thereof shall be paid to Parent in cash within five (5) days of the final determination of any Final Working Capital Adjustment as provided herein, with simple interest thereon from the Closing Date through the date of payment at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.

Section 1.13 Offset. The Stockholder Parties agree that if they become liable to any Parent Indemnified Person under Article 8 hereof, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall have the right, in addition to their other remedies hereunder, at Law or in equity, to withhold and offset the Merger Consideration deliverable to them hereunder.

Section 1.14 Closing Deliveries.

(a) At the Closing, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered:

(i) the Settlement Allowance, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Agent, to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement;

(ii) the Escrow Agreement, executed by Parent;

(iii) an Employment Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Employment Agreement”), executed by Parent; and

(iv) such additional information or documents as the Company shall have reasonably required to evidence the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) At the Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent:

(i) an Opinion of Counsel to the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D;

(ii) a Release of Claims, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, executed immediately prior to the Merger by each of the officers and directors of the Company;

(iii) the Escrow Agreement, executed by the Stockholders’ Representative;

(iv) the Employment Agreement, executed by Xxxxxxx; and

(v) such additional information or documents as Parent or Sub shall have reasonably required to evidence the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) An Indemnitor will have the right to defend against an Indemnification Claim, other than a Indemnification Claim related to Taxes, with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee if (i) within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of notice of the Indemnification Claim the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee from and against the entirety of any Damages the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (ii) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Indemnification Claim and pay, in cash, all Damages the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (iii) the Indemnification Claim involves only money Damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Indemnification Claim is not in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnitee, and (v) the Indemnitor continuously conducts the defense of the Indemnification Claim actively and diligently.

(c) So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Indemnification Claim in accordance with Section 8.4(b), (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Indemnification Claim, (ii) the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any Order with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any Order with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (not to be withheld unreasonably, provided that it will not be deemed to be unreasonable for an Indemnitee to withhold its consent (A) with respect to any finding

of or admission (1) of any violation of any Law, Order or Permit, (2) of any violation of the rights of any Person, or (3) which Indemnitee believes could have a material adverse effect on any other Actions to which the Indemnitee or its Affiliates are party or to which Indemnitee has a good faith belief they may become party, or (B) if any portion of such Order would not remain sealed).

(d) In connection with any Indemnification Claim for Taxes, or if any condition in Section 8.4(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, (i) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any Order with respect to, an Indemnification Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnitor in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnitor will be obligated to reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the Damages relating to defending against the Indemnification Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor will remain Liable for any Damages the Indemnitee may suffer relating to the Indemnification Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 8.

(e) Each Party hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Governmental Authority in which an Action is brought against any Indemnitee for purposes of any Indemnification Claim that an Indemnitee may have under this Agreement with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on such Party with respect to such claim anywhere in the world.

Section 8.5 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 8, with respect to Damages attributable to Breaches of the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in Articles 2 and 3, no Indemnitor shall be obligated to any Indemnitee for any Damages until the aggregate of such Damages to the Indemnitee equals or exceeds $10,000, at which time the Indemnitor shall be obligated to the Indemnitee for the full amount of any Damages, including such $10,000 threshold.

Section 8.6 INDEMNIFICATION IF NEGLIGENCE OF INDEMNITEE. The indemnification provided in this Article 8 will be applicable whether or not the sole, joint, or contributory negligence of the Indemnitee is alleged or proven. Indemnitee’s rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement will survive the Closing, will not be deemed waived by the Indemnitee’s consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and will be effective regardless of any inspection or investigation conducted, or the awareness of any matters acquired (or capable or reasonably capable of being acquired), by or on behalf of Indemnitee, or by its directors, officers, employees or representatives at any time, (regardless of whether notice of such knowledge has been given to Indemnitor) whether before or after the Closing Date.

Section 8.7 Stockholders’ Representative.

bound by all actions taken by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the Escrow Agreement and the adjustments contemplated by Section 1.12, and Parent and Sub shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Stockholders’ Representative with respect thereto.

Section 9.11 Binding Arbitration.

(a) General. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the request of any Party (defined for the purpose of this provision to include Affiliates, principals and agents of any such Party), any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement or any agreement executed in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, or the breach, termination, interpretation, or validity hereof or thereof (hereinafter referred to as a “Dispute”), shall be finally resolved by mandatory and binding arbitration in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration of any Dispute. Any Party who fails or refuses to submit any Dispute to binding arbitration following a lawful demand by the opposing Party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by the opposing Party in compelling arbitration of such Dispute.

(b) Governing Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the Parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be Las Vegas, Nevada. Notwithstanding this Section 9.11, the arbitration and this clause shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (the “Federal Arbitration Act”). The arbitrator shall award all reasonable and necessary costs (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred in conducting the arbitration to the prevailing Party in any such Dispute. The Parties expressly waive all rights whatsoever to file an appeal against or otherwise to challenge any award by the arbitrators hereunder; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any Party to bring a proceeding in any applicable jurisdiction to confirm, enforce or enter judgment upon such award (and the rights of the other Party, if such proceeding is brought to contest such confirmation, enforcement or entry of judgment, but only to the extent permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act).

(c) No Waiver; Preservation of Remedies. No provision of, nor the exercise of any rights under this Agreement shall limit the right of any Party to apply for injunctive relief or similar equitable relief with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement or any agreement executed in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any such action shall not be deemed an election of remedies. Such rights can be exercised at any time except to the extent such action is contrary to a final award or decision in any arbitration proceeding. The institution and maintenance of an action for injunctive relief or similar equitable relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any Party, including without limitation the plaintiff, to submit any Dispute to arbitration nor render inapplicable the compulsory arbitration provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Arbitration Proceeding. In addition to the authority conferred on the arbitration tribunal by the rules specified above, the arbitration tribunal shall have the authority to order reasonable discovery, including the deposition of party witnesses and production of documents. The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the Parties with no right of appeal. All statutes of limitations that would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration proceeding. Any attorney-client privilege and other protection against disclosure of confidential information, including without limitation any protection afforded the work-product of any attorney, that could otherwise be claimed by any Party shall be available to and may be claimed by any such Party in any arbitration proceeding. No Party waives any attorney-client privilege or any other protection against disclosure of confidential information by reason of anything contained in or done pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement. Each Party agrees to keep all Disputes and arbitration proceedings strictly confidential, except for disclosures of information to the Parties’ legal counsel or auditors or those required by Law. The arbitrators shall determine the matters in dispute in accordance with the substantive law of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules.

(e) Appointment of Arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. The Party initiating arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall appoint its arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the “Request”). The other Party (the “Respondent”) shall appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If the Respondent fails to appoint an arbitrator within such thirty (30) day period, the arbitrator named in the Request shall decide the controversy or claim as sole arbitrator. Otherwise, the two (2) arbitrators appointed by the Parties shall appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Respondent has notified Claimant of the appointment of the Respondent’s arbitrator. When the third (3rd) arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. If the two (2) arbitrators appointed by the Parties fail to appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator or so to notify the Parties within the time period prescribed above, then the appointment of the third (3rd) arbitrator shall be made by the American Arbitration Association, which shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. The third (3rd) arbitrator shall act as Chair of the panel.

(f) Other Matters. This arbitration provision constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior discussions, arrangements, negotiations and other communications on dispute resolution. This arbitration provision shall survive any amendment, renewal, extension or expiration of this Agreement or any agreement executed in connection herewith or contemplated hereby unless the Parties otherwise expressly agree in writing. The obligation to arbitrate any dispute shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the Parties.

Section 9.12 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 7.3, no amendment, modification, replacement, termination or cancellation of any provision of this Agreement will be valid, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Parties. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or Breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Section 9.13 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof, provided that any provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation or in any jurisdiction will not affect the enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the Enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.14 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants.

Section 9.15 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign Law shall be deemed also to refer to Law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated there under, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
