Buyer, but nothing contained in this Section 7.7 shall be deemed to create an
employment contract between Buyer and any such
personnel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, unless otherwise provided in a separate agreement between Buyer and
such employee, all such employees shall be employees at will and nothing
expressed or implied in this Agreement will obligate Buyer to provide continued
employment to any such employee for any specific period of time following the
Closing Date.
7.8 From the
date hereof until the Closing, Seller will not, without the prior written
consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly: (a) issue any Equity Interests, sell
all or any material portion of its assets, or merge or consolidate with any
Person, (each of such actions being an “Acquisition
Proposal”); (b) solicit offers for, offer up or seek any Acquisition
Proposal; (c) initiate, encourage or provide any documents or information to any
third party in connection with, or negotiate with any Person regarding any
inquiries, proposals or offers relating to any Acquisition Proposal; or (d)
enter into any agreement or discussions with any Person (other than Buyer) with
respect to any
Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed
that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.8 by any
Affiliate, agent or representative of Seller shall be a breach of Section 7.8 by
the applicable Party. Upon execution of this Agreement, Seller shall,
and shall cause their respective Affiliates, agents and representatives to,
cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions or
negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to an
Acquisition Proposal and promptly request that all Confidential Information with
respect thereto furnished on behalf of Seller be returned.

is required to file with the SEC, including any current reports on Form 8-K
required to be filed regarding the execution of this Agreement or the Closing,

therewith. Buyer hereby covenants that it shall diligently work to

deliver to Buyer such further instruments of assignment, conveyance and transfer
and take any other action as Buyer may reasonably request in order to more
effectively convey, sell, transfer and assign to Buyer its right, title and
interest in and to any of the Acquired Assets, to confirm the title of Buyer
thereto, and to assist Buyer in exercising rights with respect to the Acquired
Assets.
11. Confidentiality
11.1 From the
date hereof until the Closing, no Party to this Agreement shall use or disclose
to any Person, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information of any other
Party to this Agreement; provided, however that the foregoing restriction shall
not apply to the extent that: (a) such use or disclosure is required by an Order
of a court of competent jurisdiction (provided that the Party who has received
the Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”)
must promptly give the Party who disclosed the Confidential Information (the
“Disclosing
Party”) written notice of such Order), (b) such use or disclosure is
authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party, (c) on or before the time of the
alleged breach, the Confidential Information has been received by the Receiving
Party from
a third party without breach of a nondisclosure obligation of the third party,
(d) on or before the time of the alleged breach, the Confidential Information
has been disclosed to the public by the Disclosing Party or has otherwise become
generally available to the public other than through a disclosure by a Receiving
Party or by a Person acting in concert with such Person, or (e) such
Confidential Information is required to be disclosed in any reports that Buyer
is required to file with the SEC, including any current reports on Form 8-K
required to be filed regarding the execution of this Agreement or the
Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may make
Confidential Information available to their respective counsel, accountants and
financial advisors; provided that the Receiving Party shall be liable for any
unauthorized disclosure by such Persons. With respect to Confidential
Information of Seller that is related to the Acquired Assets, following the
Closing such Confidential Information shall be deemed the Confidential
Information of Buyer, with the effect that the Buyer shall not be bound by any
obligations under this Section 11 with respect to such Confidential Information,
but the Seller and the Equity Parties shall be bound as required by Section
11.2.
- 11
-
11.2 Seller
shall at any time after the Closing use or disclose to any Person, directly or

or has otherwise become generally available to the public other than through a
disclosure by Seller or by a Person acting in concert with such
Person.
11.3 Each
Party acknowledges that, in the event of any breach of the provisions of this
Section 11, the Disclosing Party whose Confidential Information has been
disclosed (the “Injured Party”) by
the Receiving Party might not be fully or adequately compensated by recovery of
damages alone. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to
any other relief to which the Injured Party may become entitled, the Injured
Party will be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable
relief, and that evidence of any breach of this Agreement will constitute, for
the purposes of all judicial determinations of the issues of injunctive relief,
conclusive proof of all elements necessary to entitle Injured Party to temporary
and permanent injunctive relief against the party in breach.

of Representations and Warranties
12.1 All
representations and warranties made by each of the Parties hereto shall survive
the Closing for a period of 24 months after the Closing Date, except

13.1 Seller
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and their respective
directors, officers, employees, shareholders and Affiliates of Buyer, acting in
their capacities as such (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified
Parties”), against any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses,
obligations, liabilities and damages, including interest, penalties, and
reasonable attorneys’ fees (“Damages”), incurred
by the Seller Indemnified Parties arising, resulting from, or relating
to:
- 12
-
(a) all
claims, Indebtedness, Taxes, obligations, commitments and Liabilities of Seller
arising before or after the Closing, including without limitation all
Proceedings to which Seller is a party as of the Closing, other than the Assumed
Obligations;
(b) all
claims, obligations and Liabilities arising after the Closing Date resulting
from the breach by a current or former employee, consultant or Affiliate of

breach of the representations or warranties made by Seller under this Agreement
or any certificate, instrument or writing delivered in connection

default by Seller in the performance of any of its, his or their respective

(e) any
attempt (whether or not successful) by any Person to cause or require a Seller
Indemnified Party to pay or discharge any claim, Indebtedness, Tax, obligation,
commitment or Liability of Seller, to the extent not included in the Assumed
Obligations; or
(f) any
claim, dispute, Proceeding, compromise, settlement, assessment or judgment
arising out of any of the matters indemnified against in this Section

of the matters subject to indemnification under this Section 13.1, an
Encumbrance, attachment, garnishment or execution is placed upon any of the
property or assets of any Seller Indemnified Party, the Seller shall also,
promptly upon demand, furnish an indemnity bond satisfactory to the Buyer
Indemnified Party to obtain the prompt release of such Encumbrance, attachment,
garnishment or execution.
13.2 Buyer
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and each of their
respective directors, officers, managers, employees, and Affiliates, acting in
their capacities as such (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified
Parties”), against any and all Damages, incurred by any of the Buyer
Indemnified Parties arising, resulting from, or relating to:
(a) all
claims, Indebtedness, Taxes, obligations, commitments and Liabilities of Buyer
arising before or after the Closing unless and to the extent such claim,
Indebtedness, Tax, obligation, commitment or Liability results from or arises in
connection with the breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by Seller under this Agreement or any schedule or exhibit
thereto or any certificate or instrument delivered in connection
therewith;
(b) the
Assumed Obligations;
(c) any
breach of the representations or warranties made by the Buyer under this
Agreement or any certificate, instrument or writing delivered in connection
therewith;
(d) any
default by any of the Buyer in the performance of any of their obligations under

attempt (whether or not successful) by any Person to cause or require any of the
Buyer Indemnified Parties to pay or discharge any claim, Indebtedness, Tax,
obligation, commitment or Liability of Buyer; or
(f) any
claim, dispute, Proceeding, compromise, settlement, assessment or judgment
arising out of any of the matters indemnified against in this Section
13.2. If, by reason of the claim of any third party relating to any
of the matters subject to indemnification under this Section 13.2, an
Encumbrance, attachment, garnishment or execution is placed upon any of the
property or assets of any Buyer Indemnified Party, the Buyer shall also,
promptly upon demand, furnish an indemnity bond satisfactory to the Buyer
Indemnified Party to obtain the prompt release of such Encumbrance, attachment,
garnishment or execution.
- 13
-
13.3 Seller
shall indemnify, hold harmless and agree to defend (with counsel reasonably
acceptable to Buyer) the Buyer against any Damages arising by reason of
noncompliance with the California Bulk Sales Law (i.e., Division 6 of the
California Commercial Code) (“Bulk Sales Laws”), to
the extent such Bulk Sales Laws apply to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
13.4 No claims
shall be made by a Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification from Seller
pursuant to Section 13.1(c), or by a Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification
from Buyer pursuant to Section 13.2(c), unless and until the aggregate amount of
Damages incurred by all such Seller Indemnified Parties or Buyer Indemnified
Parties, with respect to claims under those Sections in the aggregate exceeds
$50,000, in which event Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, shall become liable
for all such Damages. The maximum aggregate indemnification
obligation of Seller pursuant to Section 13.1(c), which maximum amount shall be
the obligation of Seller, shall not exceed the sum of the amount of the the Fair
Market Value of the Closing Shares. These limitations shall not apply
to a claim that is made based upon alleged fraud. The Parties shall
be entitled as a result of misrepresentation, breach or default under this
Agreement, to pursue any and all non-monetary relief to which any of them may
otherwise be entitled at law, in equity or otherwise.
13.5 No claims
shall be made by a Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification from Seller
pursuant to Section 13.1(c), or by a Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification
from Buyer pursuant to Section 13.2(c), after the survival period for such
representation and warranty under Section 12 of this Agreement.
13.6 If a
claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made
by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”)
against the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”),
the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the
Indemnifying Party, which notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a
result of a claim by a Person that is not a Party to this Agreement against the
Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”)
or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and
shall also specify (to the extent that the information is available) the factual
basis for the Claim and the amount of the Damages, if known.
13.7 If a
Claim is a Third-Party Claim under this Section 13, then the Indemnified Party
shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof promptly; provided, however, that no
delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party
shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability or obligation unless
(and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party thereby is
damaged. With respect to a Third-Party Claim:
(a) If after
receipt of the Claim Notice the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing to
the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated under the
terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Third-Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and
expense, and subject to the rights of an insurer or other Person having
liability therefor, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such
Claim; (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice, but, in any event,
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to handle and defend the same
unless the named parties to such Claim (including, without limitation, any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may
be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are
different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, in
which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s
cost, risk and expense, to one firm of separate counsel of its own choosing; and
(iii) to compromise or settle such action, which compromise or settlement shall
be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided that such compromise or
settlement requires no payment obligation by the Indemnified Party (unless the
Indemnifying Party concurrently pays to the Indemnified Party the full amount of
such payment obligation).
- 14
-
(b) The
Indemnified Party may, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost, employ
counsel to represent it (in addition to counsel employed by the Indemnifying
Party, at its own expense) in any such matter, and in such event counsel
selected by the Indemnifying Party shall be required to cooperate with such
counsel of the Indemnified Party in such defense, compromise or settlement for
the purpose of informing and sharing information with such Indemnified
Party. In any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will, at
its own expense, make available to the Indemnifying Party those employees of the
Indemnified Party or its Affiliates whose assistance, testimony or presence is
necessary to assist the Indemnifying Party in evaluating and in defending any
such Proceeding; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in
such a manner as not to interfere with the operations of the businesses of the
Indemnified Party and its Affiliates.
(c) If the
Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Claim within 15 calendar
days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such
Claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the
Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s
cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf
of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party. If the
Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Claim, the Indemnified Party will
keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such
defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall be
liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance
with this Section 13.7 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of
appeal) and the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or
judgment.

Seller may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior

date of such written notice to cure such breach; or
(c) Buyer or
Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other Party
at any time prior to the Closing Date if the Closing shall not have occurred on

warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement).

event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1 above, all
obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without liability of any
Party to any other Party, except that in the event of a termination under

incurred by the non-breaching Party in pursuit of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount for which any Party may be liable under this Section shall not
exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). Notwithstanding the

Agreement shall not be assignable by any Party without the prior written consent
of the other Parties.
15.4 Expenses. Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party to this Agreement shall bear
his or its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for the payment of all costs and
expenses of the Audit.
15.5 Remedies. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the remedies set forth in this
Agreement is intended to be exclusive, and each Party shall have all other
remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies shall not
constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available
remedies.
15.6 Arbitration of
Disputes
(a) Each
Party is required to notify the other Party, in writing, of any dispute, claim,
or controversy arising out of this Agreement. As to disputes related
to indemnification, the Parties will provide written notice in accordance with
this Agreement. As to all other disputes, the Parties will provide
notice in the form of a written description of the basis for the dispute and the
remedy sought, delivered in accordance with this Agreement. Other
than breaches or threatened breaches relating to the obligations set forth in
Section 11 (Confidentiality) hereof, if, within thirty (30) days after delivery
of the notice, the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute, then any Party may
submit the dispute to binding arbitration.
(b) Other
than breaches or threatened breaches relating to the obligations set forth in
Section 12 (Confidentiality) hereof, any dispute, claim, or
controversy arising out of this Agreement which cannot be resolved by the
Parties as set forth above, including but not limited to Claim for
indemnifications made pursuant to Section 13, will be determined by binding
arbitration conducted by one arbitrator and administered by Judicate West,
pursuant to the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules
then in effect except to the extent those rules conflict with any provision of
this Section. If, within thirty (30) days after submission of any
dispute to arbitration, the Parties cannot mutually agree on one Judicate West
arbitrator, then the Parties will arrange for Judicate West to designate a
single arbitrator according to the process set forth in the American Arbitration
Association Commercial Arbitration Rules.
(c) The
arbitrator will set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to
reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the Parties an
opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator, to discover
relevant information from the opposing Parties about the subject matter of the
dispute. In an arbitration regarding a Claim for indemnification, the
decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any such Claim for
indemnification will be subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement
and final, binding, and conclusive upon the Parties. In an
arbitration to resolve any other dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of
this Agreement, the decision of the arbitrator will be final, binding, and
conclusive upon the Parties.
- 16
-
(d) The
decision of the arbitrator will be written and will be supported by written
findings of fact and conclusions which will set forth the award, judgment,
decree or order awarded by the arbitrator. As part of such award, the
prevailing Party (as determined by the arbitrator) will be awarded legal fees
and expenses incurred in conjunction with the dispute and the losing Party will
be required to pay the arbitrator’s fees and the administrative fee of Judicate
West. All payments required by the decision of the arbitrator will be
made within thirty (30) days after the decision of the arbitrator is
rendered. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(e) The
rights and remedies of the Parties hereto will be cumulative (and not
alternative). The Parties agree that, in the event of any breach or
threatened breach by any Party of any of the obligations set forth in Sections
11 (Confidentiality) hereof for the benefit of any other Party, such
other Party will be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be
available to it) to (i) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the
observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision, and
(ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach in an
arbitration instituted pursuant to this Section 15.6.
15.7 Attorneys’
Fees. Should any Party hereto retain counsel for the purpose
of enforcing, or, when there are reasonable facts to indicate a potential
material breach, preventing the breach of any provision hereof including the
institution of any action or proceeding, whether by arbitration, judicial or
quasi-judicial action or otherwise, to enforce any provision hereof or for
damages for any alleged breach of any provision hereof, or for a declaration of
such Party’s rights or obligations hereunder, then, if such matter is settled by
arbitration or judicial determination, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to
be reimbursed by the losing Party for all costs and expenses incurred thereby,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees for the services rendered to such
prevailing Party.
15.8 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits and other documents
specifically referred to herein or required to be delivered pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement represent the entire agreement of the Parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements,
understandings, discussions, negotiations and commitments of any
kind. This Agreement may not be amended or supplement, nor may any
rights hereunder be waived, except in writing signed by each of the Parties
affected thereby. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the
Parties hereto and, to the extent provided herein, their respective estates,
heirs, successors, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives, and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer
upon other third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of
action or other right.
15.9 Section
Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are
conveniences only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in
construing it.
15.10 Severability. In
the event that any provision or any part of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or enforceability
of any other provision or part of this Agreement.
15.11 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “pdf” format data file, such signature
shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile or “pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
