(f) Adjustments. The Base Number shall be adjusted to reflect fully the
effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or
distribution of securities convertible into Purchaser Common Stock), reorganization,
recapitalization or other like change with respect to Purchaser Common Stock occurring after
the date hereof, so as to provide Sellers and Purchaser the same economic effect as
contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse split, stock dividend,
reorganization, recapitalization or like change.
(g) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, no fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued

1.6. Exchange Procedures.
(a) Surrender of Target Preferred Stock. No later than the

executed letter of transmittal, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E
(each, a “Letter of Transmittal”), together with the certificate or certificates
(the “Preferred Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented all of the outstanding shares of Target Preferred Stock owned by such
Seller and a duly completed and validly executed Stock Power with respect to such
shares. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Preferred Certificate will be deemed
from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the
ownership of the number of full shares of Purchaser Common Stock into which the
shares of Target Preferred Stock evidenced thereby shall have been so converted in
accordance with Section 1.5.
(b) Delivery of Merger Payment. At the Closing, Purchaser shall
deliver to the Agent on behalf of each Seller, in exchange for the Target Preferred
Stock surrendered by such Seller, a certificate representing the number of whole
shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the Preliminary Seller Base Number
multiplied by the Pro-Rata Percentage for each such Seller. The Agent shall retain
custody of such certificates until the True-Up Date, at which time the Agent shall
either:
(i) if the Base Number is greater than the Preliminary Base Number,
deliver each such certificate to the Seller to whom it belongs, or
(ii) if the Base Number is less than the Preliminary Base Number,
deliver such certificates to Purchaser so that Purchaser may issue and
deliver to each Seller new certificates representing the number of shares of
Purchaser Common Stock to which such Seller is entitled
- 5 -
following the reduction in the number of shares contemplated by clause
(II) of Section 2.1(b).
(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Target Preferred
Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Purchaser Common
Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any
unsurrendered Target Preferred Stock with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common
Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Target Preferred Stock
shall surrender such Target Preferred Stock. Subject to applicable Rules, following
surrender of any such Target Preferred Stock, there shall be paid to the record
holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock
issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the
amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time theretofore payable (but for the provisions of this Section 1.6(d))
with respect to such shares of Purchaser Common Stock.
(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of
Purchaser Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Target
Preferred Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a
condition of the issuance thereof that the Target Preferred Stock so surrendered
will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the
person requesting such exchange will have paid to Purchaser or any agent designated
by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a
certificate for shares of Purchaser Common Stock in any name other than that of the
registered holder of the Target Preferred Stock surrendered, or established to the
reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser or any agent designated by it that such Tax has
been paid or is not payable.
(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 1.6, none of the Surviving Corporation, Purchaser or any party hereto shall
be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a Governmental Authority
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Rule.
1.7. No Further Ownership Rights in Target Preferred Stock. All shares of
Purchaser Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Target Preferred Stock in
accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all

- 6 -
issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Preferred Certificate to
deliver to Purchaser a lost note affidavit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Purchaser, which includes an indemnity against any Claim that may be made against Purchaser or the

1.9. Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall

and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations.
1.10. Withholding Rights. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from
the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock otherwise deliverable under this Agreement, such
amounts as Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such delivery and payment
under the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Tax Rule. To the extent
that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been delivered and paid to each Seller in respect of which such deduction and
withholding was made by Purchaser. To the extent Purchaser determines that withholding is required
with respect to certain amounts of the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock, Sellers shall
use reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with withholding certificates or other required
certifications. Withholding with respect to Purchaser Common Stock shall be made based upon a
value per share of Purchaser Common Stock as mutually agreed upon by the parties.
1.11. Target Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to
purchase shares of Target Common Stock under the Target Stock Option Plan, whether vested or
unvested, will be cancelled. At or prior to the Closing, Target shall take all actions required to
cancel each outstanding option to purchase shares of Target Capital Stock under the Target Stock
Option Plan upon the closing of the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby. Within the
later of (a) 30 calendar days after the Effective Time, and (b) 10 calendar days after Purchaser’s
Board of Directors adopts an independent, third party valuation of Purchaser Common Stock as of the
Closing Date, but in any event as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than 90 calendar days
after the Closing Date, Purchaser will issue options to purchase Purchaser Common Stock under the
Purchaser Stock Option Plan to those of the Covered Employees, on such terms, as is set forth on
the attached Schedule 1.11. At or prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall take all
corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for
so long as any of the issued options remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser
Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such options.
1.12. Target Warrants. At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to
purchase shares of Target Capital Stock, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled, other than
the warrants issued to ORIX Venture Finance LLC described in Schedule 1.12 (the “Assumed
Warrants”), which shall be assumed by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of Assumed Warrants
and shall represent the right to purchase the number of shares of Purchase Common Stock, at the
exercise price, in each case as set forth on Schedule 1.12. At or prior to the Closing,
Target shall take all actions required to cancel each outstanding warrant to purchase
- 7 -
shares of Target Capital Stock, other than the Assumed Warrants, upon or prior to the closing
of the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby.
1.13.
Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, shares
of Target Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by
a Stockholder who is entitled to and has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights pursuant
to Section 262 of the
Delaware Law (collectively, the “
Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted
as of the Effective Time into the right to receive any of the Merger Payment, if applicable, but
instead shall have such rights as may be available under the Delaware Law. At the Effective Time,
all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and each holder of
Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive
the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Law;
provided,
however, that if any such Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or
shall effectively withdraw or lose its right to appraisal and payment under the Delaware Law, or a
court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief
provided by Section 262, such stockholder’s shares of Target Capital Stock shall thereupon be
deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable
portion of the Merger Payment pursuant to Section 1.5, if any, and such shares of Target Capital
Stock shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. Target shall give Purchaser prompt notice identifying
those Stockholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger or consent thereto in writing. Promptly
following Stockholder approval of the Merger, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation shall prepare
and deliver to the Stockholders all written notices required to be delivered in accordance with
Sections 228, 251 and 262 of the Delaware Law, in forms reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Prior
to the Effective Time, (i) Target shall have the right to control the negotiations, proceedings and
any settlement of any such demands, (ii) Target shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any demands
received by Target for appraisal of shares of Target Capital Stock and (iii) Purchaser shall have
the right to participate in all negotiations, proceedings and settlements with respect to such
demands. On and after the Effective Time, (a) Purchaser shall give the Agent prompt notice of any
demands for appraisal received by the Surviving Corporation, (b) so long as (I) the Agent can
demonstrate that it has sufficient amounts which may be used in connection with such demand for
appraisal to (A) defend such demand for appraisal, and (B) defend all other demands for appraisal
then pending which the Agent is defending pursuant to this Section 1.13 and defend all Third Party
Claims then pending which the Agent is defending pursuant to Section 8.8, and (II) the Agent has
acknowledged in writing to Purchaser the Sellers’ unconditional obligation to indemnify Purchaser
for such demand for appraisal, the Agent shall have the right to control the negotiations,
proceedings and any settlement of any such demands for appraisal; provided that the Agent shall not
settle or compromise any such demand for appraisal without the prior written consent of Purchaser
if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, such settlement would lead to Liability or create
any financial or other obligation on the part of any Purchaser Protected Party for which such
Purchaser Protected Party is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.3 and (c)
Purchaser shall have the right to participate in all negotiations, proceedings and settlements with
respect to such demands.
1.14. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the
Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all
assets, property,
- 8 -
rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target, the officers and directors of Target and
Purchaser are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take,
and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent
with this Agreement.
1.15. The Agent. For purposes of this Agreement and all actions and decisions to
be made by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, JMI Associates IV, LLC (the “Agent”), shall be the
representative and agent of Sellers to act on their behalf, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall
be entitled to rely exclusively on the acts and omissions of the Agent with respect to actions to
be taken by, or inferences from omissions of, any Seller. Sellers may (or if JMI Associates IV,
LLC should at any time choose not to serve, or be unable to serve, as the Agent, shall), at any
time and from time to time, by written notice delivered to Purchaser executed by Sellers who held
Target Preferred Stock or Employee Rights representing, in the aggregate, at least a majority of
the Pro-Rata Percentages immediately prior to the Closing, appoint a replacement Agent; provided,
however, that such new person shall not be deemed the Agent for purposes of this Agreement until
Purchaser has received such written notice.
1.16. Transfer Restrictions. In addition to any restrictions contained in the
Purchaser Stockholder Agreement, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, no Seller may
sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (a “Transfer”), by operation of
law or otherwise, to any Person any shares of Purchaser Common Stock owned or held by such Seller
until the later of (i) the earlier of (A) the Cut-Off Date and (B) the date that a Change of
Control of Purchaser is consummated and (ii) and the date that a Purchaser Capital Transaction is
consummated; provided that such written consent shall not be required for:
(a) a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 or 3.6 of the
Purchaser Stockholder Agreement, so long as either (i) after such Transfer, the transferring
Seller continues to own and hold no less than fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of
Purchaser Common Stock into which such Seller’s Target Capital Stock was converted at the
Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.5, or (ii) a portion of the proceeds of such Transfer
equal to the then Current Value of fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of Purchaser Common
Stock into which such Seller’s Target Capital Stock was converted at the Effective Time
pursuant to Section 1.5 is escrowed through the later of the Cut-Off Date and the date that
a Purchaser Capital Transaction is consummated with an escrow agent, and pursuant to an
escrow agreement, in each case reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, as security for the
obligations of the transferring Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including the obligations
pursuant to Article VIII and this Section 1.16; or
(b) a Transfer by a Seller to a single Affiliate of such Seller which is a private
equity fund of all of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock owned or held by such Seller, so
long as the transferee assumes all of the obligations of the transferring Seller pursuant to
this Agreement, including the obligations pursuant to Article VIII and this Section 1.16.

provide a final and conclusive resolution of all unresolved disputes and shall conform the
Closing Date Balance Sheet accordingly. All references in this Agreement to the Closing
Date Balance Sheet shall mean the Closing Date Balance Sheet as modified pursuant to this
resolution procedure, and the resolution of the Independent Accountant shall be binding on
the parties hereto, except that the foregoing shall not limit or prohibit a party from
asserting a Claim and obtaining relief on account of any breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Independent
Accountant shall be borne by the parties in an amount proportionate to the dollar amount
contested and not awarded to each such party as a percentage of the total dollar amount
contested by the parties, as determined by the Independent Accountant.

- 17 -
directors of each Company. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.4, all Designated Books

4.5. Financial Statements. Target has delivered to Purchaser accurate and
complete (i) copies of the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Companies as of the last day
of each of the two fiscal years of the Companies for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, together with the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and
changes in cash flow for such fiscal years, and the notes thereto, in each case accompanied by the
unqualified opinion thereon of Target’s independent public accountants (“Historical Statements”),
and (ii) copies of the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Companies as of December 31,
2009 (the balance sheet of the Companies as of December 31, 2009 (the “Balance Sheet Date”) being
referred to as the “Balance Sheet”), together with the related unaudited consolidated statements of
income, stockholders’ equity and changes in cash flow for the 12-month period ended on such date,

thereto), (b) present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and changes
in cash flows of the Companies as of such dates and for the periods then ended, and (c) are

Closing Date (collectively the “Accounts Receivable”), (i) have arisen in bona fide transactions,
(ii) are valid claims against account debtors for goods or services delivered or rendered, subject
to no defenses, offsets or counterclaims, except for the reserves for doubtful accounts related
thereto reflected on the Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied in accordance

the Reserves, are collectible in the ordinary course; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement (including the provisions of Article VIII to the extent, if any,
inconsistent with the remainder of this sentence), Target is not guaranteeing that any such

business and, except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, none of the obligors of such receivables
have refused in writing or, to Target’s knowledge, orally, or given notice in writing or, to
Target’s knowledge, orally, that they refuse to pay the full amount thereof. Except as set forth
on Schedule 4.6, no receivables are subject to prior assignment, claim or other Lien
(except, in each case, for Permitted Liens). After the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation
will not have any obligation (whether in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or otherwise) to
repay any receivables collected by either Company prior to the Closing Date or, to Target’s
knowledge, any receivables reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet which the Surviving
Corporation or IC collects after the Closing Date.
4.7. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Notwithstanding any representation or
warranty contained herein, or any limitations or qualifications of, or exceptions to (whether in a
Schedule attached hereto or otherwise), any such representation and warranty, except as set forth
- 18 -
on Schedule 4.7, neither Company has any obligation or liability (including accounts

a Schedule hereto, or (B) is reasonably expected to generate aggregate revenues after the Closing
in excess of aggregate expenses and Liabilities to be incurred thereunder after the Closing, and
(iii) the existence of which does not otherwise constitute or result from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement or a breach or default by either Company
under any Company Contract; (b) with respect only to the Balance Sheet, Liabilities incurred in the
usual and ordinary course of business subsequent to the date of the Balance Sheet consistent with
past practice, which will be reflected in the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the existence of which

warranty or covenant of this Agreement or from a breach or default under any Company Contract
listed or required to be listed in any Schedule to this Agreement; (c) Liabilities incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent reflected in the
Closing Date Balance Sheet and (d) Liabilities incurred on the Closing Date.

dealing with Taxes are of a type typically included in such agreements (such as acquisition
agreements, employment agreements, leases and loan agreements).

expected to result in the assertion of a claim by any Taxing Authority that either Company

with respect to Taxes upon any of the Company Assets (except for Taxes not yet due).

years has contained a disclosure statement under Section 6662 of the Code (or any similar
provision of law), and no Tax Return has been filed by or on behalf of Target with respect
to which the preparer of such Tax Return advised consideration of inclusion of such a
disclosure, which disclosure was not made.
(r) Any and all transactions and dealings between or among any of the Companies and
any other Persons directly or indirectly related to the Companies have at all times occurred
on arm’s-length terms, as if between and among unrelated parties. Each of the Companies has
at all times fully complied with any and all Tax-related requirements that the arm’s-length
nature of the terms of such transactions and dealings be documented.

any transaction or arrangement (including conversion of debt into shares of its capital)

exceptions, reservations, limitations or other impediments which materially and adversely affect
the value to the Companies of the leasehold interest therein or which materially interfere with or
impair the present and continued use thereof in the usual and normal conduct of the Business as

other material physical defects or deficiencies in the condition of any Leased Real Property or
improvements thereon, and (b) the buildings, structures and improvements comprising the Leased Real
Property are in good condition (subject to normal wear and tear), and as such are adequate to
conduct the Business as presently conducted.

pending or, to the knowledge of Target, threatened Claims, legal actions, proceedings,

employees participate, with the exception of any individual arrangements or agreements.
Target shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser to reflect the
termination or withdrawal from any such Employee Plans.
(c) As of and subsequent to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall: (i) provide Target’s
employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time who continue to be employed by the
Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation on and after the Effective Time (the “Covered
Employees”) with employee benefits and compensation plans, programs and arrangements that

programs and arrangements provided by the Purchaser to similarly situated employees of the
Purchaser; (ii) provide all Covered Employees with service credit for purposes of
eligibility, participation and, other than with respect to the Purchaser Stock Option Plan,
vesting (but not for accrual of benefits or to the extent such credit would result in a
duplication of benefits) under any employee benefit or compensation plan, program or
arrangement adopted, maintained or contributed to by Purchaser in which Covered Employees

periods of employment with Target or its subsidiaries (or any predecessor entities) prior to

Covered Employee’s respective employment agreements with Target as they exist immediately
prior to Closing, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, or (ii) in the amount
listed opposite each such Covered Employee’s name on Schedule 7.4, and provide a
transition period and bonus, if any, in the amount listed opposite each such Covered
Employee’s name on Schedule 7.4.
7.5. Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
(a) Purchaser shall purchase, maintain in effect, and cause the Surviving Corporation
to maintain in effect, an extended reporting period endorsement under Target’s existing
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for Target’s current and former
directors and officers in a form acceptable to Target that shall provide such directors and
officers with coverage for six (6) years following the Effective Time of not less than the
existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured persons
than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by
Target. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to honor
the obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, policies providing at least the
existing coverage and having other terms not materially less favorable to the insured
persons may be substituted therefore, but in no event shall Purchaser or the Surviving
Corporation, in the aggregate, be required to spend more than $15,000 for such insurance.
(b) Purchaser agrees, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to agree, that for a
period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, all rights to exculpation and
indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time now existing in
favor of the current or former directors or officers of Target as provided in Target’s
Organizational Documents and indemnification agreements (which provide for exculpation and
indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware
Law and which shall not be amended except as required by applicable law or except to make
changes permitted by law that would enlarge the right of indemnification) shall become the
obligations of the Surviving Corporation and shall survive the Merger and shall continue in
full force and effect in accordance with their
- 47 -
terms; provided that Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 7.5(b) shall not exceed
the aggregate of (i) amounts paid to the Surviving Corporation by the insurance policy or
policies referred to in Section 7.5(a), plus (ii) any amounts recovered by Purchaser
pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(v).
(c) The provisions of this Section 7.5 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall
be enforceable by, each Target current and former director and officer and the heirs and
representatives of such person.
7.6. Tax Covenants.
(a) Post-Closing Tax Returns.
(i) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely
filed) with the appropriate Tax Authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by
the Companies with respect to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date
that become due after the Closing Date (each a “Purchaser Prepared Return”). Each
such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior practice of
the Companies unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Rules or specified in
Schedule 7.6(a).
(ii) Purchaser shall provide the Agent with a copy of each Purchaser Prepared
Return for review and comment at least forty-five (45) days prior to the filing of
such Tax Return (or, if required to be filed within forty-five (45) days after the
Closing or the end of the taxable period to which such Purchaser Prepared Return
relates, as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing or the end of such
taxable period, as the case may be), accompanied by a statement (an “Indemnified Tax
Statement”) setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes that are
shown as due on such Tax Return and claimed to be indemnifiable pursuant to Section
8.3(b)(vii). The Agent shall have the right to review and approve (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) each Purchaser Prepared Return. For
this purpose, the Agent’s withholding of approval of a Purchaser Prepared Return
based upon Purchaser’s failure to adopt in such Tax Return an alternative reporting
position suggested by the Agent shall be deemed reasonable if the reporting position
proposed by the Agent on such Tax Return is more likely than not to be sustained if
challenged by a relevant Tax Authority.
(iii) If the Agent disagrees with the manner of preparation of a Purchaser
Prepared Return or the amount of indemnified Taxes calculated in any Indemnified Tax
Statement, within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of a Purchaser Prepared Return or
any Indemnified Tax Statement, the Agent shall provide to Purchaser a notice of such
dispute (a “Tax Statement Dispute”). If the Agent does not provide a notice of Tax
Statement Dispute within such 15-day period, the Agent shall be deemed to have
accepted the Tax Return and, for purposes of Article VIII, the Indemnified Tax
Statement relating thereto. If the Agent provides Purchaser with a notice of a Tax
Statement Dispute, the Agent shall also
- 48 -
provide Purchaser with a written explanation of the reasons for its
disagreement and its proposed changes. Purchaser and the Agent shall attempt to
resolve their disagreement with respect to any Purchaser Prepared Return and any
Indemnified Tax Statement. If the Agent and Purchaser cannot reach complete
agreement within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Tax Statement Dispute, the
dispute shall be submitted to an arbitrator (the “Tax Arbitrator”) pursuant to the
procedures described with respect to the Independent Accountant in Section 2.2(b)
for resolution within fifteen (15) days after such submission. The decision of the
Tax Arbitrator with respect to such dispute shall be binding upon the parties.
Purchaser shall, subject to any indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(vii),
timely file any Purchaser Prepared Return as finally determined under this Section
7.6, and shall pay or cause to be paid the Tax shown as due on each such Tax Return.
(iv) The amount of the Losses attributable to Taxes shown in any Indemnified
Tax Statement as accepted or finally determined pursuant to the preceding paragraph,
shall be treated as a Loss that is indemnifiable by the Sellers pursuant to Section
8.3(b)(vii).
(b) Payment or Reimbursement for Indemnified Taxes. The Sellers shall either
remit the amount of any indemnified Tax liability shown as due on any Purchaser Prepared
Return to the relevant Taxing Authority by electronic funds transfer or wire transfer or pay
to Purchaser, pursuant to Section 8.11, such amount either by delivery of a certified check
drawn payable to the relevant Taxing Authority or Purchaser Common Stock or wire transfer of
immediately available funds to such account as directed in writing by the Purchaser, not
later than the latest of (i) fifteen (15) days after provision to Agent of the Indemnified
Tax Statement, (ii) three (3) business days before the required payment date of such Tax, or
(iii) in the case of a disputed amount, three (3) business days after final resolution
pursuant to Section 7.6(a)(iii) of any dispute regarding the amount shown on the Indemnified
Tax Statement
(c) Taxable Year Closing; Allocation of Taxes. Purchaser shall, unless
prohibited by applicable law, cause the taxable periods of the Companies to end as of the
close of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not permit the Companies to take any actions
after Closing on the Closing Date that are out of the ordinary course of business, except as
required by applicable Rules, this Agreement or consented to by the Agent. For purposes of
this Agreement, Taxes incurred by the Companies with respect to a taxable period that
includes but does not end on the Closing Date, shall be allocated to the portion of the
taxable period ending on the Closing Date: (i) except as provided in (ii) and (iii) below,
to the extent feasible, on a specific identification basis, according to the date of the
event or transaction giving rise to the Tax, and (ii) except as provided in (iii) below,
with respect to periodically assessed ad valorem Taxes and Taxes not otherwise reasonably
allocable to specific transactions or events, in proportion to the number of days in such
period occurring through the Closing Date compared to the total number of days in such
taxable period, and (iii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or
receipts, in an amount equal to the Tax which would be payable if the relevant taxable
period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a taxable period that
- 49 -
begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the
relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give
effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior
practices of the Companies.
(d) Amended Returns. Except as required by applicable Rules or in connection
with an audit resolved pursuant to Section 7.6(f) (including consistent correlative
adjustments to Tax Returns for non-audited taxable periods), no party or affiliate of a
party may amend or cause the amendment of a Tax Return of the Companies, or file or amend
any Tax election, or file a Tax Return after the due date thereof, concerning the Companies,
in each case, with respect to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date
that would affect the amount of any indemnity liability under Section 8.3 without the
written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Purchaser shall, upon request by the Agent, and at the expense of Sellers, cooperate in the
preparation of and submission to the proper Taxing Authority of any amended Tax Return with
respect to the Companies for any taxable period ending before the Closing Date to the extent
appropriate to reduce or prevent indemnity liability under Section 8.3.
(e) Overpayments and Overaccruals Indemnified Taxes. To the extent that any
determination of Tax liability, whether as the result of an audit or examination, a claim
for refund, the filing of an amended Tax Return or otherwise, results in a determination of
an overpayment of Taxes for any period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing
Date that are related to a liability for Taxes for which Sellers would have indemnity
liability under Section 8.3(b), Purchaser shall offset the amount of such overpayment
against any unpaid indemnity obligation of Sellers in respect of Taxes for which indemnity
would be owed under Section 8.3(b), and shall promptly pay to the Agent for the benefit of
the Sellers an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the portion of such overpayment (including
interest actually received thereon) that has not been so offset and (b) any net indemnity
obligations previously satisfied by Sellers in respect of Taxes of the Companies pursuant to
Section 8.3(b). Such offset or payment shall be made by Purchaser promptly after receipt by
(or crediting for the benefit of) Purchaser or its Affiliates. Any payment under this
Section 7.6(e) shall be made in shares of Purchaser Common Stock to the extent necessary (in
the reasonable judgment of the Agent) to cause the Merger to continue to qualify as a
reorganization under section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and shall be equal to the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock having a Current Value equal to the amount of such payment.
(f) Audits and Contests Regarding Taxes. Any party who receives, or whose
Affiliate receives, any notice of a pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or
adjustment against or with respect to any of the Companies which may give rise to a right to
indemnification pursuant to the terms of Article VIII shall promptly notify the Agent and
Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of such notice. Purchaser and the
Agent each agree to consult with and to keep the other informed on a regular basis regarding
the status of any Tax audit or proceeding to the extent that such audit or proceeding could
affect a liability of the parties hereto (including indemnity obligations hereunder). The
Agent shall have the right to represent any of the Companies’ interests
- 50 -
in any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding pertaining to taxable periods
ending on or before the Closing Date and to employ counsel of his choice, but reasonably
satisfactory to Purchaser, at his expense, and shall control the disposition of any issue
involved in such proceeding; provided that Purchaser shall have the right to participate in
such proceeding at its own expense, and shall be entitled to control the disposition of any
issue involved in such proceeding which does not affect a potential claim for indemnity
under Section 8.3(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6(f), the
Agent shall not, without the Purchaser’s consent, agree to any settlement with respect to
any Tax if such settlement could adversely affect any Tax liability of the Purchaser, its
Affiliates or (with respect to any taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the
Closing Date) either Company. Both Purchaser and the Sellers (through the Agent) shall be
entitled to represent their own interests in light of their responsibilities (including
indemnity obligations) for the related Taxes, at their own expense, in any audit or
administrative or judicial proceedings involving a taxable period of the Companies that
includes but does not end on the Closing Date or involving both a taxable period of any of
the Companies ending on or before the Closing Date and a taxable period ending after the
Closing Date and no such audit or proceeding may be settled or compromised by the Agent or
Purchaser without the consent of both the Agent and Purchaser, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.6(f), the
provisions of Article VIII shall govern the conduct of any Tax audit or administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to which an Indemnity Claim may be made.
(g) Cooperation, Access to Information and Records Retention. The Agent and
Purchaser shall cooperate, and cause their representatives and Affiliates to cooperate, as
and to the extent reasonably requested by the other in connection with the preparation and
filing of Tax Returns as provided herein and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with
respect to Taxes relating to the Companies. Such cooperation shall include the provision of
records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit,
litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis
to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
Purchaser agrees (i) to retain all books and records relevant to Taxes of the Companies
(including Tax Returns) relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date
until the expiration of the statute of limitations for assessment of Taxes for such
respective taxable period, and (ii) to give the Agent reasonable written notice prior to
transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the Agent so
requests, Purchaser shall allow the Agent to take possession or copy of such books and
records.
(h) Tax Certificates. Purchaser and the Agent agree, upon request of the
other, to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any
Governmental Authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that
could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement).
- 51 -
(i) Characterization of Indemnity Payments. The parties agree to treat any
payment made by Sellers to Purchaser as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration, to the
extent it may properly be so treated for income Tax purposes.
7.7. Section 368(a) Reorganization Covenants.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, each party will use its best efforts to cause the
Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and,
either before or after the Merger, no party will take any action reasonably likely to cause
the Merger not to qualify as such reorganization. Pursuant to the foregoing, each party
agrees to make such commercially reasonable additions or modifications to the terms of this
Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to permit the Merger so to qualify.
(b) The Purchaser will cause the Surviving Corporation or other members of the
Purchaser “qualified group” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.368-1(d)(4)(ii)) to either continue the historic business of Target or use a significant
portion of Target’s historic business assets in a business, both within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d).
(c) The parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by law, they (i) will
report in their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable period including the
Closing Date that the Merger qualified as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the
Code and Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, (ii) will not take any Tax reporting position
inconsistent with the characterization of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (iii) will properly file with their federal income Tax
Returns all information required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3.
ARTICLE VIII.
INDEMNIFICATION.
8.1. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(a) The respective representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties to
this Agreement shall be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the parties
hereto, and shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of, or disclosure to, any party
to whom such representations, warranties or covenants have been made.
(b) No party or other Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII shall
commence any suit or proceeding alleging an Indemnity Claim due to a breach of any
representation or warranty in Article IV, V or VI of this Agreement after the eighteen (18)
month anniversary of the Closing (the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date
being called the “Cut-Off Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prohibition contained
in the first sentence of this Section 8.1(b) shall not apply to:
- 52 -
(i) any Indemnity Claim relating to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.9, 4.10 (but only the
first sentence thereof), 4.17, 4.20(b), 5.1, 5.3, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4 or 6.15, it being
agreed that the representations and warranties of those Sections shall continue
until the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the Closing (regardless of whether
the facts giving rise to such Claim are also the subject of any expired
representation and warranty); and
(ii) any party or other Person entitled to indemnification under this Article
VIII to the extent that such party or Person asserted in writing a specific
Indemnity Claim prior to the date by which an Indemnity Claim relating to the
representations and warranties in question must be commenced pursuant to this
Section 8.1(b), in which event the relevant representations and warranties shall
continue in effect and remain a basis for indemnity with respect to each such
asserted Indemnity Claim until such Indemnity Claim is finally resolved (pursuant to
a non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreement of Agent
and Purchaser).
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, no party
or other Person shall be entitled to bring any Indemnity Claim under this Article VIII after
the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days after the closing of a transaction or series of
transactions pursuant to which Purchaser (or any Person who acquires all or substantially
all of Purchaser’s assets or all or substantially all of the Purchaser Common Stock, in
either such case in exchange for securities of such Person or any successor to Purchaser by
merger) becoming subject to Section 13 or Section 15 of the Exchange Act or (ii) the
consummation of a Change of Control.
8.2. Intentionally Omitted
8.3. Indemnification by Sellers.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, including the limitations set forth in
Section 8.6, after the Closing, each Seller, solely as to himself, herself or itself, shall
indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, stockholders, controlling persons, employees, agents, successors and assigns
(collectively, the “Purchaser Protected Parties”) from and against and in respect of any and
all demands, Claims, causes of action, administrative orders and notices, losses, costs,
fines, Liabilities, penalties, damages (direct or indirect but specifically excluding
special, exemplary or punitive damages, other than special, exemplary or punitive damages
owed to an unrelated third party) and expenses (including reasonable legal, paralegal,
accounting and consultant fees and other expenses incurred in the investigation, defense and
enforcement of Claims and actions) (collectively, “Losses”) sustained or incurred by any
Purchaser Protected Party resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of any
representation or warranty made by such Seller in Article V of this Agreement, or (ii) any
breach by such Seller of any of the covenants made by such Seller in this Agreement that has
not been cured within ten (10) days after receipt by such Seller (or the Agent on behalf of
such Seller) of written notice thereof from Purchaser.
- 53 -
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, including the limitations set forth in
Section 8.6, after the Closing, each Seller, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Purchaser Protected Parties from and against and in respect of such
Seller’s Pro-Rata Percentage of any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Purchaser
Protected Party resulting from or arising out of any of the following:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Target in this
Agreement;
(ii) any breach by Target prior to the Effective Time of any of the covenants
made by Target in this Agreement;
(iii) any breach of any of the covenants imposed upon the Agent in this
Agreement that has not been cured within ten (10) days after receipt of written
notice thereof by the Agent from Purchaser;
(iv) any Claim relating to any Dissenting Shares;
(v) any amounts paid or payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.5(b) to the
extent they exceed the amounts paid to the Surviving Corporation by the insurance
policy or policies referred to in Section 7.5(a);
(vi) the matters disclosed on Schedule 4.15 except to the extent
accrued on the Closing Date Balance Sheet; and
(vii) any Taxes (A) of the Companies for all taxable periods, or portions
thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date other than any Taxes resulting from
the transfer of Company Intellectual Property contemplated by Section 1.18, or (B)
owing by any Person (other than the Companies) for which either Company is liable as
a result of transactions or circumstances occurring or existing on or before the
Closing Date, including without limitation, under any agreement or arrangements with
respect to payment of any Tax.
8.4. Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions herein,
including the limitations set forth in Section 8.6, after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify
and hold harmless Sellers and their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
stockholders, controlling persons, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the
"Seller Protected Parties”) from and against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred by such
Persons resulting from or arising out of (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by
Purchaser in this Agreement, or (b) any breach by Purchaser or Merger Sub of any of the covenants
made by Purchaser or Merger Sub in this Agreement that has not been cured within ten (10) days
after receipt by Purchaser of written notice thereof from the Agent. Any payment under this
Section 8.4 shall be made in shares of Purchaser Common Stock to the extent necessary (in the
reasonable judgment of the Agent) to cause the Merger to continue to qualify as a reorganization
under section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and shall be equal to the number of shares of Purchaser
Common Stock having a Current Value equal to the amount of such payment.
- 54 -
8.5. Certain Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of any representation or warranty
that includes, or requires disclosure of matters above, a specific monetary threshold, if Target
breaches any of such representations and warranties due to the monetary thresholds contained
therein having been exceeded, then Losses for each such breached representation and warranty shall
include the full amount of the Losses incurred by the Purchaser Protected Parties relating to any
such matter notwithstanding the monetary thresholds listed in such representations or warranties.
The rights of the Purchaser Protected Parties under Section 8.3 shall not be affected by the fact
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement were consummated notwithstanding Purchaser’s
knowledge of any breach of a representation or warranty. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any
obligation of Sellers by virtue of the fact that Target has no obligation or Liability after the
Closing for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Target, and there shall
be no obligation on the part of Purchaser to seek recourse against Target with respect to any such
claim or demand.
8.6. Limitations.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the amount of any Losses for which
indemnification is to be provided pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall be
reduced by (i) any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under insurance
policies with respect to such Loss, net of any increased premiums or self retention payments
related thereto, and (ii) the amount of any actual reduction in Taxes of an Indemnified
Party or its Affiliates, which are attributable to such Losses and (b) Losses shall not
include any specific liability or reserve to the extent accrued for on the Closing Date
Balance Sheet (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.2). Any amounts payable
by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement
shall be reduced to the extent that, taking into account the effect of the payment itself,
the Indemnified Party actually realizes a Tax reduction attributable to a Loss; provided,
that, if a Tax reduction has not been realized in the taxable period during which an
Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment or the Indemnified Party incurs or pays
any loss, the Indemnified Party shall thereafter make payments to the Indemnifying Party at
the end of each subsequent taxable period to reflect the net Tax reductions subsequently
realized by the Indemnified Party.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will any
Seller be liable for and pay the Purchaser Protected Parties (i) under clause (a)(i) or
(b)(i) of Section 8.3 on account of any breach of representations or warranties under this
Agreement (except for a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in
Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.10 (but only the first sentence thereof), 4.20(b), 5.1 or 5.3 as to
which this clause (i) shall not apply) or clause (b)(vi) of Section 8.3, in each case to the
extent the aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims under such Sections exceed fifteen percent
(15%) of such Seller’s Pro-Rata Percentage of the Merger Consideration, (ii) with respect to
Losses on account of any breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in
Section 4.20(b) (but only the second and third sentences thereof) to the extent the
aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims under such Section exceed twenty five percent (25%) of
such Seller’s Pro-Rata Percentage of the Merger Consideration, and (iii) with respect to
Losses resulting from fraud by Target or any Seller or on account of any breach of any of
the representations or warranties contained
- 55 -
in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.10 (but only the first sentence thereof), 4.20(b) (but only the
first sentence thereof), 5.1 or 5.3 to the extent the aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims
under such Sections, together with Indemnity Claims under clauses (i) and (ii) above, exceed
such Seller’s Pro-Rata Percentage of the Merger Consideration; it being agreed that in no
event will any Seller be liable for and pay the Purchaser Protected Parties in excess of
such Seller’s Pro-Rata Percentage of the Merger Consideration.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will
Purchaser be liable for and pay the Sellers, in the aggregate, (i) under clause (a) of
Section 8.4 on account of any breach of representations or warranties under this Agreement
(except for a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.1,
6.2, 6.4 or 6.15 as to which this clause (i) shall not apply) to the extent the aggregate
Losses for Indemnity Claims under such Sections exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Merger
Consideration, (ii) with respect to Losses on account of any breach of any of the
representations or warranties contained in Section 6.15 (but only the second and third
sentences thereof) to the extent the aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims under such
Section exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the Merger Consideration, and (iii) with respect
to Losses resulting from fraud by Purchaser or on account of any breach of any of the
representations or warranties contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.4 or 6.15 (but only the
first sentence thereof) to the extent the aggregate Losses for Indemnity Claims under such
Sections, together with Indemnity Claims under clauses (i) and (ii) above, exceed the Merger
Consideration; it being agreed that in no event will Purchaser be liable for and pay Sellers
in excess of the Merger Consideration.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no claim for
indemnification may be made under Section 8.3(a)(i) or 8.3(b)(i) on account of any breach of
representations or warranties under this Agreement (except for a breach of any of the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 5.1 or 5.3 as to which the
Purchaser Deductible Amount shall not apply) or under Section 8.3(b)(vi) unless and until
the Purchaser Protected Parties have incurred aggregate Losses for which the Purchaser
Protected Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in excess of
$300,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Purchaser Deductible Amount”) and then only to the extent
that such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Purchaser Deductible Amount.
Notwithstanding the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no claim for
indemnification that may be made under Section 8.3(b)(i) on account of any breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 4.7 to the extent that such breach
consists of a Liability which was not fully shown or provided for in the Closing Date
Balance Sheet shall count towards the Purchaser Deductible Amount unless and until the
Purchaser Protected Parties have incurred aggregate Losses on account of such breaches of
Section 4.7 for which the Purchaser Protected Parties are entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the Remaining Basket in the aggregate and then only
to the extent that such aggregate amount of Losses exceeds the Remaining Basket. The
“Remaining Basket” shall mean the amount, if any, by which the Closing Net Asset Position is
less negative than negative $1,013,640.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no claim for
indemnification may be made under Section 8.4(a) on account of any breach of
- 56 -
representations or warranties under this Agreement (except for a breach of any of the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2 or 6.4 as to which the Seller
Deductible Amount shall not apply) unless and until the Seller Protected Parties have
incurred aggregate Losses for which the Seller Protected Parties are entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in excess of $300,000.00 in the aggregate (the
“Seller Deductible Amount”) and then only to the extent that such aggregate amount of Losses
exceeds the Seller Deductible Amount.
8.7. Cooperation. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.8, a party or parties
against whom an Indemnity Claim has been asserted (individually and collectively, “Indemnifying
Party”) shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any action or
proceeding brought by a third party which resulted in such Indemnity Claim, and if such right is
exercised, the party or parties entitled to indemnification (individually and collectively,
"Indemnified Party”) and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of such
action or proceeding.
8.8. Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims.
(a) In the event that subsequent to the Closing Date any Indemnified Party becomes
aware of any Claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnified
Party by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental
Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”), as to which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to
assert an Indemnity Claim, such Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof
together with a statement of any available information regarding such Third Party Claim,
including, to the extent known by such Indemnified Party, the alleged factual basis for the
Third Party Claim and the Losses claimed and referring to the provision of this Agreement
pursuant to which indemnification is sought (the “Notice of Claim”) to the Indemnifying
Party promptly after learning of such Third Party Claim. Failure by the Indemnified Party
to provide notice on a timely basis of a Third Party Claim shall not affect the right of the
Indemnified Party to obtain indemnification as a result of such Third Party Claim, except to
the extent of any direct damages caused by such delay. If (i) the Indemnifying Party is any
Seller and (A) such Third Party Claim does not seek injunctive or other equitable relief
involving Purchaser or its Affiliates, (B) a Purchaser Protected Party’s insurance carrier
does not require, as a condition to such Purchaser Protected Party’s eligibility to recover
insurance proceeds on account of such Third Party Claim, that such carrier control the
defense of any such Third Party Claim, (C) such Third Party Claim does not seek recourse
which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ongoing business or operations
(including customer, supplier or employee relationships) of a Purchaser Protected Party or
any of its Affiliates (including their rights to use the Company Intellectual Property) or
otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect, (D) the Agent can demonstrate that it has
sufficient amounts which may be used in connection with such Third Party Claim to (I) defend
such Third Party Claim, and (II) defend all other Third Party Claims then pending which the
Agent is defending pursuant to this Section 8.8, and (E) the Indemnifying Party has
acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party its unconditional obligation to indemnify
the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim, or (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is
Purchaser, then in any such
- 57 -
case, except in the case of Claims described in Section 7.6(f), the Indemnifying Party
shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (the “Defense Notice”)
within fifteen days of its receipt from the Indemnified Party of the Notice of Claim, to
conduct at its expense the defense against such Claim in its own name, or, if necessary, in
the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have
the right to approve the defense counsel representing the Indemnifying Party in such
defense, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in the event the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot agree upon such counsel within ten days
after the Defense Notice is provided, then the Indemnifying Party shall propose an alternate
defense counsel, which shall be subject again to the Indemnified Party’s approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice
within the time and as prescribed by Section 8.8(a), or if the Indemnifying Party does not
have the right to defend such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.8(a), then, except in
the case of Claims described in Section 7.6(f), in either such event the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to conduct such defense in good faith with counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnified Party (or any insurance carrier
defending such Third Party Claim on the Indemnified Party’s behalf) shall be prohibited from
compromising or settling the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,
however, that if the Agent is prohibited from conducting the defense of a Third Party Claim
solely because of the operation of clause (i)(E) of Section 8.8(a), then (i) the Agent shall
have the right to assume the conduct of such defense upon its delivery of an acknowledgement
in writing meeting the requirements of such clause (i)(E), and (ii) the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to approve the defense counsel representing the Indemnifying Party in
such defense, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver a Defense Notice and thereby
elects to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.8(a),
the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such
assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, and such cooperation shall be at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, the Indemnifying Party (and any insurance carrier defending such Third Party Claim on
the Indemnifying Party’s behalf) will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim
if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, such settlement would lead to Liability or
create any financial or other obligation on the part of any Indemnified Party for which such
Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. If a firm offer is made to
settle a Third Party Claim, which offer the Indemnifying Party is permitted to settle under
this Section 8.8, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the
Indemnifying Party will give written notice to the Indemnified Party to that effect. If the
Indemnified Party objects to such firm offer within fifteen days after its receipt of such
notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and,
in such event, the maximum amount for which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable in
connection with such Third Party Claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer,
plus costs and expenses
- 58 -
paid or incurred up to the point such notice had been delivered. Failure at any time
of the Indemnifying Party to diligently defend a Third Party Claim as required herein shall
entitle the Indemnified Party to assume the defense and settlement of such Third Party Claim
as if the Indemnifying Party had never elected to do so as provided in this Section.
(d) Any judgment entered or settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein
shall be binding upon the Indemnifying Party, and shall be conclusively deemed to be an
obligation with respect to which the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Party, in each case subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to appeal an
appealable judgment or order.
8.9. Nature of Other Liabilities. In the event any Indemnified Party should have
an Indemnity Claim which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit
to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in detail the nature
of the Indemnity Claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification and, if
known by the Indemnified Party, a calculation of Losses attributable to such Indemnity Claim. If
the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within forty five (45) days from its
receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Indemnity Claim, the
Indemnity Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnity Notice shall become the
obligation of the Indemnifying Party.
8.10. Intentionally Omitted
8.11. Payment of Losses.
(a) All Losses in respect of any Indemnity Claim payable by any Seller shall be
paid, at such Seller’s option, either in cash or by such Seller delivering to Purchaser a
number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock having a Current Value equal to the amount of
such Losses. If any Losses owed by a Seller are not paid to Purchaser by one of the methods
described in the first sentence of this Section 8.11(a) within ten (10) days of a final
determination that such Losses are payable (as evidenced either by the agreement of
Purchaser and the Agent, or by entry of a final, nonappealable order by a court of competent
jurisdiction), such Seller shall be deemed to have forfeited, and Purchaser shall reduce, on
its books and records and for all purposes, the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock
which are owned by such Seller by a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock having a
Current Value equal to such unpaid Losses.
(b) All Losses in respect of any Indemnity Claim against Purchaser may be paid, at
Purchaser’s option, either in cash or by Purchaser delivering to the applicable Seller a
number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock having a Current Value as of the date such
Indemnity Claim is payable equal to the amount of such Losses.
8.12. Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to any Claim based on actual fraud or
seeking injunctive or other equitable relief for breach of this Agreement, the rights and
obligations of the parties under this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive rights and
obligations of the parties with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement in this Agreement and shall be in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which the
- 59 -
party entitled to indemnification hereunder would otherwise be entitled as a result of such breach.
8.13. Contract Intent and Construction; Avoidance of Ambiguity. The rights and
remedies of any Person based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall in
no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts upon which
any Claim of any such inaccuracy, breach or indemnity is based may also be the subject matter of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement as to which there
is no inaccuracy or breach. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE AND TO REFLECT THE INTENT, AGREEMENT AND
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES, THE EXISTENCE OF ANY FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WOULD CONSTITUTE A
BREACH OF SECTION 4.7 WILL CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF SECTION 4.7 (AS TO WHICH PURCHASER MAY BE
ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS ARTICLE VIII) EVEN THOUGH THE
EXISTENCE OF SUCH FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES MIGHT NOT CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF A MORE SPECIFIC
REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY OR ANOTHER REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY THAT IS QUALIFIED BY KNOWLEDGE
