as an inducement to the consummation of the Acquisition.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance on the foregoing recitals and in and for the
consideration and mutual covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE CTL STOCK.
1.1 DEFINITIONS. The definitions set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto shall apply throughout this Agreement.
1.2 PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE CTL STOCK. Upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing INTERCELL shall
sell, transfer and deliver to Jaymark the CTL Stock and Jaymark will pay to
INTERCELL the Consideration in the manner described in Section 1.3 below.
1.3 CONSIDERATION FOR THE CTL STOCK. Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing Jaymark shall deliver
to (i) INTERCELL One Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,450,000) in
cash to be adjusted by the amount, if any, equal to the Adjustment Payment in
accordance with Section 1.4 of this Agreement (such net amount being the
"Consideration") and (ii) Chicago Title Company as escrow agent, Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in cash (as more fully discussed in Section
11.8.(b)). In addition to the foregoing, on January 30, 1998 Jaymark paid to
INTERCELL the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) cash as an advance payment
as set forth in that certain side letter agreement and security agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit B
2
(the "Advance Payment") and INTERCELL hereby acknowledges receipt of the Advance
Payment. Further, at the Closing, Jaymark will deliver to INTERCELL an Jaymark's
unsecured corporate promissory note in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Promissory
Note") payable upon the satisfaction of certain specified conditions relating to
the investigation and remediation of certain hazardous substances contamination
affecting the Santa Xxxx Site, as more fully described in Section 11.8(a) and in
the Environmental Remediation and Indemnification Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit C. Collectively (i), (ii), the Advance Payment and the Promissory Note
shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Purchase Price."
1.4 PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT, PROCEDURE AND ADJUSTMENT PAYMENT.
(a) The purchase price adjustment (which may be a positive or negative
number) will be equal to the difference, if any, between (i) total assets
($3,161,442) minus long term receivable (parent) ($679,399) minus total
liabilities ($425,141) or $2,056,902, as shown on the unaudited balance sheet of
CTL as of October 26, 1997 (the "October 26, 1997 Balance Sheet"), as previously
provided to Jaymark, and (ii) total assets minus $679,399 minus total
liabilities (the "Net Worth"), as shown on the Closing Balance Sheet (the
"Purchase Price Adjustment").
(b) INTERCELL will prepare and will cause KPMG Peat Marwick,
INTERCELL's certified public accountants, to prepare a balance sheet of CTL as
of the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet") prepared in a manner
consistent with GAAP, excluding adjustments for purchase accounting and
including any and all previously unrecorded liabilities existing as of the
Closing Date, and the related statement of income and cash flow, together with
the work papers related thereto and their report thereon (including the Closing
Balance Sheet, the "Closing Financial Statements"). INTERCELL will deliver the
Closing Financial Statements to Jaymark within forty five days after the Closing
Date. If within thirty days following delivery of the Closing Financial
Statements, Jaymark has not given INTERCELL notice of its objection to the
Closing Balance Sheet (such notice must contain a statement in reasonable detail
of the basis of the Jaymark's objection), then the Net Worth will be used in
computing the Purchase Price Adjustment, if any. If Jaymark gives such notice of
objection, and the parties are unable to resolve all disputes, then the issues
in dispute will be submitted to Price Waterhouse LLP, certified public
accountants (the "Accountants"), for resolution. If issues in dispute are
submitted to the Accountants for resolution, (i) INTERCELL and Jaymark will each
furnish to the Accountants such work papers and other documents and information
relating to the disputed issues as the Accountants may request and are
reasonably available to that party, and will be afforded the opportunity to
present to the Accountants any material relating to the determination and to
discuss the determination with the Accountants; (ii) the determination by the
Accountants, as set forth in a notice delivered to INTERCELL and Jaymark by the
Accountants, will be binding and conclusive on the parties; and (iii) INTERCELL
and Jaymark will each bear 50% of the fees of the Accountants for such
determination.
(c) On the tenth business day following the final determination of the
Purchase Price Adjustment the Adjustment Payment will be made, if necessary, in
cash in an amount determined as follows: (i) If the Purchase Price Adjustment is
a positive number, then INTERCELL will deliver to Jaymark an Adjustment Payment
equal to the Purchase Price
3
Adjustment; (ii) If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number (i.e. the
Net Worth is greater than $2,056,902) between zero and -$143,098, then no
Adjustment Payment will be made; and (iii) If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a
negative number less than -$143,098, then Jaymark will deliver to INTERCELL an
Adjustment Payment equal to the Purchase Price Adjustment (expressed as a
positive number) minus $143,098 (any such payment to be made in accordance with
this Section 1.4(c) shall herein be referred to as an "Adjustment Payment"). For
example, if at the Closing Date the Net Worth equals: (i) $2,000,000, then
INTERCELL will pay Jaymark an Adjustment Payment equal to $56,902 ($2,056,902 -
$2,000,000 = $56,902); (ii) $2,100,000, then no Adjustment Payment will be made
because $2,056,902 -$2,100,000 = -$43,098 (which is between 0 and $143,000); and
(iii) $2,400,000, then Jaymark will pay INTERCELL an Adjustment Payment equal to
$200,000 ($2,056,902 - $2,400,000 = -$343,098, and $343,098 - $143,098 =
$200,000).
1.5 ESCROW AGREEMENT. On the Closing Date, Jaymark will deposit into
the Indemnity Escrow Fund the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000).
The amount on deposit in the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be held as collateral
for INTERCELL's indemnification obligations under Article 11 (as more fully
described in Section 11.8).
1.6 THE CLOSING. Subject to termination of this Agreement according
to the provisions set forth in Article 9 below, the closing of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices
of Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx & Freidenrich, a Professional Corporation, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, as soon as possible upon the satisfaction or
waiver of all conditions set forth in Article 7 and Article 8 hereof (the
"Closing Date"), or such other time and place as is mutually agreeable to the
parties.

adequate in light of the contingencies with respect to which such aggregate

Schedule contains a description of all real and personal property leased or
owned by CTL, describing its interest in said property and with respect to real

(b) Except as set forth in Section 2.8(b) of the CTL Disclosure
Schedule, CTL owns all right, title and interest in and to all of the

except for Permitted Encumbrances. The Intellectual Property comprises all
rights necessary for Jaymark to permit CTL to continue to conduct CTL's business
in the same manner after the Closing Date as CTL had conducted its business
prior to the Closing Date.
(c) No claims have been asserted against CTL or INTERCELL (and
INTERCELL is not aware of any claims that are likely to be asserted against CTL
or which have been asserted against others) by any Person challenging CTL's use
or distribution of any patents, Trademarks, trade names, copyrights, trade
secrets, software, technology, know-how or processes utilized by CTL or
challenging or questioning the validity of, effectiveness of, or full
performance by CTL of its obligations under any license or agreement relating
thereto.
(d) To INTERCELL's knowledge after reasonable investigation,
none of the CTL Products or the use of the Intellectual Property by CTL in the
conduct of CTL's business infringes on the rights of, constitutes
misappropriation of, or involves unfair competition with respect to, any
proprietary information or intangible or Intellectual Property right of any
third Person or Entity, including without limitation any patent, trade secret,
copyright, trademark, trade name or mask works.
(e) All designs, drawings, specifications, documentation, flow
charts and diagrams incorporating, embodying or reflecting any of the CTL
Products at any stage of their development (collectively, the "CTL Components")
were written, developed and created solely and exclusively by employees of CTL
without the assistance of any third party, or were created by third parties who
assigned ownership of their rights to CTL in valid and enforceable agreements
subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
the relief of debtors and (ii) rules of law or equity governing specific
performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.
9

or, to INTERCELL's knowledge, any other party.
(g) Except for product returns in the ordinary course of CTL's
business, no product liability or warranty claim with respect to any CTL Product
has been communicated to or overtly threatened against CTL nor, to INTERCELL's
knowledge, is there any specific situation, set of facts or occurrence that
provides a basis for any such claim. Section 2.8(g) of the CTL Disclosure
Schedule sets forth an accurate list of all known claims with the CTL Products.
2.9 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.
(a) (i) All binding obligations for salaries, vacation pay and
bonuses which were or will be due and payable to employees of CTL on or before
the Closing Date have been paid or will be paid prior to the Closing Date or
adequate accruals therefor have been provided.
(ii) Section 2.9(a) of the CTL Disclosure Schedule sets
forth, as of the date specified in said schedule, a correct and complete list of
names of the employees of CTL, date employment began, current position and full
or part time status, and their salary or wage rates.
(b) Set forth in Section 2.9(b) of the CTL Disclosure Schedule
is a correct and complete list of each Employee Plan. INTERCELL has provided to
Jaymark the most recent copy of each such Employee Plan and any amendments
thereto, including any trust agreements, insurance contracts and other similar
documents and agreements. To the extent any such Employee Plan is not in
writing, a short summary of the plan has been set forth in Section 2.9(b) of the
CTL Disclosure Schedule.
(c) None of the Employee Plans is a Multiemployer Plan (as
defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). Neither CTL nor any ERISA Affiliate has made
within the preceding six plan years, or expects to make prior to the Closing, a
complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan so as to incur
withdrawal liability as defined in Section 4201 of ERISA or contingent
withdrawal liability, under Section 4204 of ERISA for which CTL would be liable
or potentially liable. No withdrawal liability would result under Section 4201
of ERISA if CTL or an ERISA Affiliate were to withdraw in a complete withdrawal
(as defined in Section 4203 of ERISA) on the Closing Date from each
Multiemployer Plan in which CTL or the ERISA Affiliate participates.
(d) INTERCELL has previously provided to Jaymark the most recent
summary plan description of each Employee Plan disseminated to employees of CTL
(including any addenda to such summaries); and the most recent annual report
(Form 5500) with attached schedules for those Employee Plans that cover any
employees or former employees of CTL, and in the case of such a plan which is
defined benefit Qualified Plan, the most recent actuarial valuation report.
10
(e) There is no obligation or Liability to provide post
retirement welfare benefits to current or future retirees of CTL (other than
those required by Section 601 et seq. of ERISA).
(f) Each Employee Plan has been administered in material
compliance with its terms, and in material compliance with all applicable U.S.
laws and regulations, including without limitation, ERISA and the Code.
(g) With respect to any Employee Plan, there are: (i) no
prohibited transactions, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code, which have been committed; (ii) no pending or to INTERCELL's
knowledge threatened suits, claims, investigations or proceedings against an
Employee Plan by an employee or former employee of CTL (other than routine
claims for benefits); (iii) no reportable events under Section 4043(c) of ERISA;
and (iv) no claims or other matters currently pending, nor are there any
investigations or claims to INTERCELL's knowledge threatened or pending, by,
with or before the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor, Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation or other federal governmental agency.
(h) All contributions, premiums and other payments required to
be paid prior to the Closing Date to Employee Plans or required to be paid after
the Closing Date but attributable to periods prior to and through the Closing
Date, under applicable law or the terms of such plans, have been paid or
provided for. Each Employee Plan which is a "group health plan" (as defined in
the Code and ERISA) is and has been operated in material compliance with the
requirements of part 6 of Subtitle B of Title 1 of ERISA and Section 4980B of
the Code with respect to former employees of CTL. Each Employee Plan which is a
"group health plan" is being operated in material compliance with the
requirements of Title IV of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996 and Section 4980D of the Code. Neither CTL nor any ERISA Affiliate
has incurred any Liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, except
for annual premiums that have been paid when due. CTL and its ERISA Affiliates
have made all contributions required under Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412
of the Code with respect to all Employee Plans. CTL and its ERISA Affiliates
have made all contributions required during the preceding five plan years under
Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code when due with respect to all
Employee Plans.
(i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
will not result in any increase in the compensation or benefits payable by CTL
or otherwise payable to any employee of CTL or the acceleration of the time of
payment or vesting of any such compensation or benefits. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement will not result in any parachute payments
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or the payment of any severance
by CTL.
(j) All Employee Plans intended to be a Qualified Plan have
received a favorable determination letter that considers amendments required by
the Tax Reform Act of 1986 from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that
such plans so qualify (and such letter has not been revoked), or an application
for such a letter has been applied for within the retroactive amendment period
for such plan, and such application is pending and no event has occurred and no
condition exists as of the Closing Date which would reasonably be expected to
11
result in the loss of Qualified Plan status or the imposition of any Liability,
penalty or Tax on CTL under ERISA or the Code with respect to said Qualified
Plans and which cannot be cured retroactively without any Liability (other than
compliance with the amendment or modification referred to in this sentence) by
an amendment or modification to the Qualified Plan document.
(k) CTL does not as of the Closing have any Liability under the joint
and several liability provisions of the Code of Title IV or ERISA as the result
of pre-Closing Date liabilities of INTERCELL ERISA Affiliates.
(l) No Liability under any Employee Plan has been funded nor has any
such obligation been satisfied with the purchase of a contract from an insurance

has conducted its business in full compliance with Environmental Laws and
Licenses, including without limitation giving required notifications of any
Release of Hazardous Materials. Except as set forth in Section 2.11(e) of the
CTL Disclosure Schedule, no notice or other filing, or consent or approval is
required under any Environmental Laws in connection with or as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to CTL's business and
any Facility, no civil, criminal or administrative actions, proceedings,
directives, inquiries, or investigations are pending, or to the knowledge of
INTERCELL threatened, by any Governmental Entity or Person regarding any
alleged non-compliance with Environmental Laws, nor does INTERCELL have any
basis to expect the institution or receipt of any such actions, proceedings,
directives, inquiries or investigations. No Governmental Entity or Person has,
currently or in the past, charged or alleged or, to the knowledge of INTERCELL
threatened to charge or allege, that Hazardous Materials have been Handled
improperly or in violation of Environmental Laws or in such a manner as to harm
or threaten to harm human health, ecology, or the environment, in connection
with CTL's business or any Facility. Neither CTL nor INTERCELL have received
any notice with respect to any Facility, and neither is aware of the issuance,
at any time, to any Person of any notice with respect to any Facility, alleging

Release of Hazardous Materials has occurred or is suspected of having occurred,
and neither CTL nor INTERCELL has received any notice that they have been
identified as potentially responsible parties under any Environmental Laws with
respect to any Facility. There are no liens or other Encumbrances in effect
under any Environmental Laws with respect to any Facility or any other asset or
real property owned, operated, leased or controlled in connection with CTL's
business. Other than as set forth and described in Section 2.22 of the CTL
Disclosure Schedule, no Release of Hazardous Materials has occurred at any time
in connection with CTL's business or any Facility, except in compliance with
Environmental Laws and Licenses. To INTERCELL's knowledge after reasonable
investigation (except as described in Section 2.22 of the CTL
19
Disclosure Schedule), there are no conditions existing at any Facility which
require any remedial action, removal action, corrective action, closure action,
or other environmental response action under Environmental Laws or Licenses.
There are not currently, nor are there any plans to install, nor have there been
in the past, at any Facility any underground storage tanks, vaults,
containments, impoundments or other underground structures or equipment, that
are used, will be used, or were used, or that are or were intended to be used,
for Handling of Hazardous Materials. There is no asbestos or asbestos-containing
material in, on or at any real property or Facility or equipment owned, leased
or operated in connection with CTL's business. No equipment or improvements used
in CTL's business presently require, or to the knowledge of INTERCELL may
require, any expenditure of funds or any removal, closure, updating,
modification or replacement to comply with Environmental Laws and Licenses. To
the knowledge of INTERCELL, no Release of Hazardous Materials has migrated to,
or threatens to migrate to, the soil, surface water, or groundwater on, under or
adjacent to any Facility. With respect to CTL's business and to the knowledge of
INTERCELL, there are no conditions existing at any site to which CTL has sent
Hazardous Materials for transportation, transfer, recycling, treatment, storage,
or disposal, which require any investigation, remedial action, removal action,
corrective action, or other environmental response action pursuant to
Environmental Laws, and no administrative actions, proceedings, directives,
inquiries or investigations are pending, or to the knowledge of INTERCELL,
threatened, with respect to any such site. No employee of CTL and no other
Person has asserted or, to the knowledge of INTERCELL threatened to assert,
currently or in the past, a demand or claim pertaining to CTL's business or any
Facility, based upon or relating to alleged damage to health caused by any
Hazardous Material used in connection with the business or present at any
Facility. INTERCELL has delivered or otherwise made available for inspection to

expense, have the right to participate in any defense undertaken by the
Indemnifying Party with legal counsel of their own selection. No settlement or
compromise of any claim which may result in a Deficiency may be made by the
Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees unless:
(i) prior to such settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party acknowledges
in writing its obligation to pay in full the amount of the settlement or
compromise and all associated expenses; and (ii) the Indemnitees are furnished
with security reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees that the Indemnifying
Party will in fact pay such amount and expenses. No settlement or compromise of
any claim which acknowledges any liability for a violation of law, or purports
to impose any non-monetary obligation on the indemnified party may be entered
into without such party's consent.
(b) In the event that the Indemnitees assert the existence of any
Deficiency against the Indemnifying Party, they shall give written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of the nature and amount of the Deficiency asserted. If
within thirty (30) days after the giving of the written notice by the
Indemnitees the Indemnifying Party does not provide written notice to the
Indemnitees that the Indemnifying Party intends to contest the assertion by the
Indemnitees (such notice by the Indemnifying Party being hereinafter referred to
as the "Contest Notice"), such assertion of the Indemnitees shall be deemed
accepted and the amount of the Deficiency shall be deemed established. In the
event, however, that a Contest Notice is given to the Indemnitees within said
30-day period, then the contested assertion of a Deficiency shall be settled by
arbitration to be held in San Diego, California, in accordance with the
Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association then existing. The
determination of the arbitrator shall be delivered in writing to the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitees and shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon all of the parties hereto, and the amount of the Deficiency, if
any, determined to exist, shall be deemed established.
(c) The Indemnitees and the Indemnifying Party may agree in
writing, at any time, as to the existence and amount of a Deficiency, and, upon
the execution of such agreement such Deficiency shall be deemed established.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
11.5, the failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of any third party
claim or the alleged existence of a Deficiency will not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of any liability it may have to any Indemnitee, except to the extent that
the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been prejudiced by the
Indemnitee's failure to timely give such notice.
34
11.6 PAYMENT OF DEFICIENCIES.
(a) Notwithstanding the establishment of a Deficiency in
accordance with Section 11.5, after the Closing INTERCELL shall not be liable to
the Jaymark Indemnitees for the first Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) of
aggregate Deficiencies except to the extent such aggregate Deficiencies exceed
$10,000 at which point indemnification shall then be made by INTERCELL for the
full amount of such Deficiencies.
(b) The Indemnifying Party hereby agrees to pay the amount of
established Deficiencies within thirty (30) days after the establishment
thereof. The amount of established Deficiencies shall be paid in cash. Any
amounts not paid by the Indemnifying Party when due under this Section shall
bear interest from and after the due date thereof until the date paid at a rate
equal to the lesser of: (i) fifteen percent (15%) per annum; or (ii) the highest
legal rate permitted by applicable law. At the option of the Indemnitees, the
Indemnitees may offset any Deficiency established in accordance with this
Agreement or any portion thereof that has not been paid by the Indemnifying
Party to the Indemnitees against any obligation the Indemnitees, or any of them,
may have to the Indemnifying Party.
11.7 LEGAL EXPENSES. As used in this Article 11, the term "Legal
Expenses" shall mean any and all reasonable fees (whether of attorneys,
accountants or other professionals), costs and expenses of any kind reasonably
incurred by any Indemnitees and its counsel in investigating, preparing for,
defending against, or providing evidence, producing documents or taking other
action with respect to any threatened or asserted claim.
11.8 PAYMENT OF PROMISSORY NOTE AND INDEMNITY ESCROW FUND.
(a) On the Closing Date, Jaymark shall deliver its unsecured

pending or threatened in writing against INTERCELL, CTL, Jaymark or the Santa
Xxxx Site relating to the Contamination; and (iii) all invoices, bills and costs
of work performed, whether investigatory or remedial, have been paid in full,
and no such work remains uninvoiced and/or unpaid relating to the Contamination.
The parties acknowledge and agree that the environmental indemnification
obligations of INTERCELL pursuant to the Environmental Remediation and
Indemnification Agreement are in addition to and in no way should be limited by
any of the environmental indemnity provisions contained in this Agreement. This
Section 11.8(a) is not intended to establish a ceiling or maximum amount that
INTERCELL shall indemnify Jaymark Indemnitees.
(b) At Closing, Jaymark shall deliver, in cash, a portion of the
Purchase Price in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) to
Chicago Title Company as escrow agent (the "Indemnity Escrow Agent"), such
deposit to constitute the "Indemnity Escrow Fund" which shall be governed by the
terms set forth herein and in the form

restrictions consistent with this Article 11 and the terms of the Indemnity
Escrow Agreement. Fifty percent (50%) of such funds that are not then subject to
claims regarding Deficiencies shall be released to INTERCELL one (1) year after
the Closing Date, and the remainder of such funds not then subject to claims
regarding Deficiencies shall be released to INTERCELL on the second anniversary
of the Closing; provided, however, that any funds which are subject to claims
regarding Deficiencies remaining in such account upon the second (2nd)
anniversary of the Closing shall be released to INTERCELL only upon the
resolution of such Deficiencies. This Section 11.8(b) is not intended to
establish a ceiling or maximum amount that INTERCELL shall indemnify Jaymark
Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 11.
