(i) Within sixty (60) days after the end of each Participation Period, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a consolidated statement of income of the Business as of the last day each Participation Period, prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis year-to-year (the “Participation Income Statement”), together with a statement (the “Participation Payment Computation Statement”) evidencing the Purchaser’s determination of the Participation Payment for that Participation Period due to the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.5(c) above. In the event any of the Sellers disputes or objects to Purchaser’s determination as provided in subparagraph (ii) below, Purchaser shall make such payment as to the non-disputed amount in accordance with Section 2.5(e) below and acceptance of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of any of the Seller’s objection.

(ii) Any of the Sellers, the Sanuk Sellers or the C&C Sellers may object to Purchaser’s determination of any Participation Payments set forth above. Any such objection must be made by delivery of a written statement of objections (stating the basis of the objections with reasonable specificity) (the “Participation Payment Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within thirty (30) days following delivery by Purchaser of the applicable Participation Payment Computation Statement and related supporting information. If any Seller so objects, Purchaser and such Seller shall seek in good faith to resolve the differences specified in such objection within ten (10) Business Days following such Seller’s delivery of the Participation Payment Dispute Notice. During such time, if Purchaser disagrees with the Seller’s objection, Purchaser shall provide to the Sellers, with reasonable specificity, a written statement of the basis of its disagreement. If no Seller timely objects to the determination of the Participation Payment as reflected in the applicable Participation Payment Computation Statement, or if Purchaser agrees with the Seller’s objections to the Participation Payment, then such initial determination of the Participation Payment, or the modification thereof, as the case may be, shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and the Sellers.

(iii) If Purchaser and the Sellers are unable to resolve a dispute with respect to the Participation Payment for any Participation Period during such ten (10) Business Day period following such Seller’s delivery of the Participation Payment Dispute Notice, then Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, jointly shall select an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing acceptable to the Purchaser and the Sellers and not then rendering services to the Purchaser or any of the Sellers to resolve any remaining disputes related to the Participation Payment Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and the Sellers cannot agree on the selection of an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period, the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall select an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing and each such selected independent accounting firm shall select a third independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing who is not then rendering services to the Purchaser or any of the Sellers (such selected independent accounting firm whether pursuant to this sentence or the preceding sentence, the “Participation Payment Auditor”).

(iv) Within two (2) Business Days following the selection of the Participation Payment Auditor, each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand: (i) shall submit to the Participation Payment Auditor their respective calculation of the applicable Participation Payment (each, a “Proposed Amount”), together with such work papers, documents and other information related to the disputed issues as the Participation Payment Auditor may reasonably request and are available to each party or its agents; and (ii) shall be afforded the opportunity to present the Participation Payment Auditor any such material related to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Participation Payment Auditor. The Participation Payment Auditor shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to perform its services within thirty (30) days after the selection of the Participation Payment Auditor, and in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission of the Proposed Amounts. The Participation Payment Auditor shall be instructed that, in making its final and binding resolution, it must select either the Proposed Amount of Purchaser in its entirety or the Proposed Amount of the applicable Sellers in its entirety. The Participation Payment Auditor shall make a final and binding resolution of the dispute with respect to the Participation Payment Computation

Statement, and the applicable Participation Payment as finally determined thereby shall be deemed acceptable to Purchaser and the Sellers for all purposes of this Agreement. No appeal from such determination shall be permitted. The costs and expenses for the services of the Participation Payment Auditor shall be borne by the Party whose Proposed Amount is not selected by the Participation Payment Auditor. Judgment upon any award or decision by the Participation Payment Auditor may be enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Following such resolution by the Participation Payment Auditor, the Purchaser immediately shall wire to Sellers all amounts, if any, to the accounts designated by the Sellers.

(e) Payment of Participation Payments. Within the later of: (i) sixty (60) days from the end of each Participation Period; or (ii) if applicable, fifteen (15) days of the decision by the Participation Payment Auditor pursuant to Section 2.5(d) above with respect to such Participation Period, the Purchaser shall pay to each Seller cash in the amount equal to the product of (x) such Seller’s Participating Percentage, multiplied by (y) the aggregate Participation Payment payable for the Participation Period as determined above.

(f) Tax Treatment of Participation Payments. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Participation Payments will result in the transaction being treated as a contingent payment installment sale within the meaning of IRS Treasury Regulation 15A.453-1(c), except to the extent that the respective Sellers elect out.

2.6 Escrow. The parties hereto shall enter into the Escrow Agreements as security for the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Article VIII, subject to the continuation or extension thereof if a claim for indemnity has been filed prior to the expiration of such period and such claim remains unresolved as of the date such Escrow Agreement would have expired in the absence of an indemnity claim, or as otherwise set forth in the Escrow Agreements. The Escrow Amount shall be subject to release from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

2.7 Allocation of Aggregate Purchase Price. The allocation of the Purchase Price shall be determined by Purchaser and Sellers in good faith and set forth on Schedule 2.7 attached hereto. Purchaser and each Seller agree: (i) to report the sale of the Purchased Assets for federal and state Tax purposes in accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule 2.7 hereto; and (ii) not to take any position inconsistent with such allocations on any of their respective Tax Returns. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price, including but not limited to purchase price adjustments or adjustments related to Participation Payments shall, to the extent practical, be allocated to the specific asset to which they relate, or, alternatively, be allocated to the residual category of goodwill as reasonably determined in good faith by Purchaser and Sellers.

(a) Not more than 10 business days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers and the Purchaser will work in good faith to estimate the difference, if any, of the “Specified Assets” over the “Specified Liabilities” (each such term defined in Schedule 2.11 attached hereto) with respect to the Sellers, on a consolidated basis, as of the Closing Date (such difference shall be referred to herein as the “Working Capital”). The estimate of the Working Capital with respect to the Sellers (hereinafter referred to as the “Estimated Working Capital”) shall be prepared in good faith in accordance with the methodology set forth in the sample pro forma Working Capital calculation prepared by the Sellers and Purchaser and attached to this Agreement as Schedule 2.11 (the “Sample Working Capital Calculation”). At the Closing, the Purchase Price will be adjusted on a dollar-for-dollar basis as follows: if Estimated Working Capital exceeds $11,700,000 (the “Budget Working Capital”), then the Purchase Price will be increased by the amount of such excess; if Estimated Working Capital is less than Budget Working Capital, then the Purchase Price will be decreased by the amount of such deficiency. By way of example, Schedule 2.11 sets forth a balance sheet for the Sellers, on a consolidated basis, and a calculation of Working Capital as calculated therefrom.

(b) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to each Seller: (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Sellers, as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”); and (ii) a statement setting forth Working Capital, as determined by reference to the Closing Balance Sheet (such statement shall be referred to herein as the “Working Capital Statement”). The Closing Balance Sheet and Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in conformity with GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with that used by the Sellers (as applicable) in accordance with the Sample Working Capital Calculation, and shall present fairly the balance of the Specified Assets and Specified Liabilities as of the Closing Date.

(c) Each Seller will have a period of 30 days after its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and Working Capital Statement to review such items and Purchaser’s calculation of Working Capital, and to notify Purchaser of any disputes with respect thereto (the “Review Period”). As part of such review, each Seller and its advisors will have reasonable access during normal business hours to Purchaser’s work papers and to the preparers of the Closing Balance Sheet and to the books and records on which the Closing Balance Sheet is based.

(d) Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, each Seller shall notify Purchaser of any objections or proposed changes to the Working Capital Statement or the Closing Balance Sheet (a “Dispute Notice”) and the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve any dispute. If a Seller fails to so notify Purchaser of any objections or proposed changes within the Review Period, if each Seller notifies Purchaser that he has no objections or proposed changes to any of such items, or if each Seller and Purchaser agree in writing on the resolution of all such objections or changes within 30 days following delivery to Purchaser of such objections or proposed changes, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Working Capital Statement, with any changes as may be agreed upon in writing, shall be final and binding. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within 30 days after Purchaser receives such Dispute Notice, then Purchaser and the applicable Seller shall jointly select an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing who is not then rendering services to the Purchaser or any of the Sellers to resolve any disagreements. If the applicable Seller and

Purchaser are unable to jointly select such independent accounting firm within ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of the Review Period, each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the applicable Seller, on the other hand, shall select an independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing and each such selected independent accounting firm shall select a third independent accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing who is not rendering services to the Purchaser or any of the Sellers (such selected independent accounting firm whether pursuant to this or the preceding sentence, the “Arbiter”). Each of Purchaser and each applicable Seller will be afforded the opportunity to present to such Arbiter any material related to the determination and to discuss the determination with such Arbiter. The determination by such Arbiter will be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The applicable Sellers and Purchaser will share the fees and expenses of such Arbiter equally.

(e) If the Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.11(c) and Section 2.11(d) (the “Final Working Capital”) is less than Estimated Working Capital (the “Overpayment”), then within five Business Days of determination of the Final Working Capital, the Sellers shall remit the amount of the Overpayment to Purchaser, with each Seller paying such amount according to the instructions set forth on Schedule 2.5. If the Final Working Capital is greater than Estimated Working Capital (the “Underpayment”), then within five Business Days of determination of the Final Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers the amount of the Underpayment in cash, for distribution to the Sellers according to the instructions set forth on Schedule 2.5.

In the event that any substances are set forth in Schedule 7.3, then Purchaser shall have the right to reduce the Participation Payments owed to the Sellers at the end of the 2011 Participation Period and the 2012 Participation Period as follows:

(a) 2011 Participation Payment. The 2011 Participation Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the reduction of 2011 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales; provided, however, that: (i) there shall be no reduction if the 2011 Gross Profit Dollars equals or exceeds $36,700,000 (the “2011 Gross Profit Dollar Base”); and (ii) the amount of any such reduction shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the 2011 Gross Profit Dollar Base less the amount of the 2011 Gross Profit Dollars.

By way of example only and assuming that the 2011 EBITDA exceeds $15,500,000 which would provide for a 2011 Participation Payment of the $30,000,000 maximum:

(i) If the 2011 Gross Profit Dollars are $35,000,000 and there is a $1,700,000 reduction of 2011 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales, then the 2011 Participation Payment shall be reduced by $1,700,000, from $30,000,000 to $28,300,000.

(ii) If the 2011 Gross Profit Dollars are $35,000,000 and there is a $500,000 reduction of 2011 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales, then the 2011 Participation Payment shall be reduced by $500,000, from $30,000,000 to $29,500,000.

(iii) If the 2011 Gross Profit Dollars are $35,000,000 and there is a $2,000,000 reduction of 2011 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales, then the 2011 Participation Payment shall be reduced by $1,700,000, from $30,000,000 to $28,300,000.

(iv) If the 2011 Profit Dollars are $36,800,000 and there is a $2,000,000 reduction of 2011 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales, then there would be no reduction to the 2011 Participation Payment which would remain at $30,000,000.

(b) 2012 Participation Payment. Purchaser shall have the right to reduce the 2012 Participation Payment by an amount equal to the reduction of 2012 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales; provided, however, that: (i) there shall be no reduction if the 2012 Gross Profit Dollars equals or exceeds $46,900,000 (the “2012 Gross Profit Dollar Base”); and (ii) the amount of any such reduction shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the 2012 Gross Profit Dollar Base less the amount of the 2012 Gross Profit Dollars. In addition, to the extent that the 2011 Participation Payment was reduced pursuant to Section 7.3(a) above, and the 2012 Gross Profit Dollars exceed the 2012 Gross Profit Dollar Base, then Sellers shall have the right to receive back an amount of the reduction to the 2011 Participation Payment up to a maximum of the difference between (i) the 2012 Gross Profit Dollars, minus (ii) the 2012 Gross Profit Dollar Base.

By way of example only:

(i) If the 2012 Gross Profit Dollars are $46,000,000 and there is a $1,700,000 reduction of 2012 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales, then the 2012 Participation Payment shall be reduced by $900,000, from $23,828,000 to $22,928,000.

(ii) If the 2012 Gross Profit Dollars are $50,000,000 and there is a $3,000,000 reduction of 2012 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales, then there would be no reduction of the 2012 Participation Payment and the 2012 Participation Payment would remain at

$25,900,000. In addition, to the extent that there was a reduction of the 2011 Participation Payment in the amount of $500,000 based upon the example set forth in clause (ii) of Section 7.3(a) above, then Sellers would have the right to receive back the entire $500,000.

(iii) If the 2012 Gross Profit Dollars are $40,000,000 and there is a $5,000,000 reduction of 2012 Gross Profit Dollars caused by Lost Sales, the 2012 Participation Payment shall be reduced by $5,000,000, from $20,720,000 to $15,720,000.

(c) Definition of Lost Sales. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 7.3, no sale is “lost” and no account shall have a “lost sale” unless and until an account: (i) failed to meet or exceed Sellers’ 2011 or 2012 (as the case may be) financial projections for such account; and (ii) canceled, failed to place a fill in order for, or failed to re-order product as a result of Sellers use, if any, of any substance that may be set forth in Schedule 7.3. In such event, “Lost Sales” shall mean, with respect to the Business:

(i) for 2011, orders for products that are canceled and any 2011 fill-in orders that based on the Sellers’ financial projections for such product are not placed, in both cases as a result of Sellers’ use, if any, of any substance that may be set forth in Schedule 7.3 (collectively, “Canceled Orders”), which Canceled Orders are not replaced by another product, or if replaced by another product then the deficit, if any, between the Canceled Order and the replacement order; provided, in no event shall the Lost Sales amount exceed the difference between 2011 actual total sales for such account and Sellers’ 2011 projected sales for such account; and

(ii) for 2012, orders for products that are not placed in 2012 as a result of Sellers’ use, if any, of any substance that may be set forth in Schedule 7.3 (“2012 Non-Placed Order(s)”), that are not replaced by another product, or if replaced by another product then the deficit, if any, between the 2012 Non-Placed Order and the replacement order. For purposes of this provision, the amount of the 2012 Non-Placed Orders shall be calculated by multiplying the combined amount of the 2011 placed and Canceled Orders times the Seller’s projected growth rate for the account from 2011 to 2012. In no event shall the Lost Sales amount exceed the difference between 2012 actual total sales for such account and Sellers’ 2012 projected sales for such account.

7.4 Sanuk Lease Payments. Purchaser shall reimburse Sanuk for the amount of its lease payment and related expenses in the amount set forth in Section 4.9 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Lease Payment”) with respect to the condominium in which its offices are located as set forth in Section 4.9 of the Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser shall reimburse Sanuk for the amount of such Lease Payment for a period of 18 months following the Closing Date, and for such length of time (if any) that Purchaser may elect to extend the Sublease Agreement. The Lease Payment by Purchaser to Sanuk shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month.

indemnified party to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage or prejudice caused by such failure. If the indemnifying party elects to control the defense of such claim, the indemnifying party shall do so diligently and shall select counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Action or Proceeding and any appeal arising therefrom.

(h) Limitation on Indemnification Covered by Insurance, Taxes; Mitigation. Any payment made by an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article VIII in respect of any claim will be adjusted for any insurance proceeds or tax benefit actually received by the indemnified party in respect of such claim.

advantage of such tax benefit, and shall seek recovery under any insurance policies of Purchaser and any affiliate or subsidiary as such insurance policies are in existence on the Closing Date (including any renewals or replacements thereof) for any claim to the same extent as it would if such claim were not subject to indemnification hereunder. Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any claim for which it is seeking indemnification and shall use reasonable efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof.

(i) No Holdback or Set Off. The Purchaser Group shall be held harmless and indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2 above: (i) first, from the C&C Escrow Amount and/or the Sanuk Escrow Amount, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreements; and (ii) second, provided that the Purchaser Group has obtained a final and binding decision from an arbitrator pursuant to Section 9.12 of this Agreement and the time period for filing a motion under California Civil Procedure Section 1285 et seq. has elapsed or a decision on a motion brought pursuant to California Civil Procedure Section 1285 et seq. has been decided by the trial court, out of the Purchase Price previously paid or Participation Payments to be paid by the Purchaser pursuant to Article II of this Agreement.

(j) Time Limitation. All claims for indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(b)(i) and Section 8.2(c)(i) must be asserted before 5:00 pm California time on the day prior to the expiration of the survival period for the applicable representation and warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to 5:00 pm California time on the last day a claim must be asserted hereunder, an indemnifying party shall have been properly notified and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of by such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

ARTICLE IX

(c) by any of the Sellers (but only so long as neither such Seller nor such Seller’s equity holders is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement), if there has been a material breach by Parent or Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein on the part of Parent or Purchaser, such that one or more conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 are not capable or being fulfilled as of the Outside Date; or

(d) by Purchaser (but only so long as neither Parent nor Purchaser is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement), if there has been a material breach by any of the Sellers, the C&C Sellers or the Sanuk Sellers of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein on the part of the Sellers, the C&C Sellers or the Sanuk Sellers, such that one or more conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 are not capable or being fulfilled as of the Outside Date.

9.2 Effect of Termination. Each party’s right of termination under Section 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies.

All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

9.6 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each party hereto.

9.7 No Third Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Section 8.2.

9.8 No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempt to do so will be void, except that any party’s rights to indemnification under Article VIII may be freely assigned.

9.9 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof.

9.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby: (i) such provision will be fully severable; (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal,

invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and mutually acceptable to the parties herein.

9.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.

9.12 Arbitration and Venue. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the making, performance or interpretation thereof (except for disputes regarding the determination of Closing Working Capital, which shall be decided as provided in Section 2.11) shall be submitted to arbitration in San Diego County, California, pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association before a panel of three arbitrators, unless the parties are able to agree on the selection of a single arbitrator. In the absence of such agreement within ten (10) days after the initiation of an arbitration proceeding, Sellers shall select one arbitrator and Purchaser shall select one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators shall then select, within ten (10) days, a third arbitrator. If those two arbitrators are unable to select a third arbitrator within such ten (10) day period, a third arbitrator shall be appointed by the commercial panel of the American Arbitration Association. The decision in writing of at least two of the three arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties. The arbitrator(s) decision shall provide a reasoned basis for the resolution of each dispute and for any award. The ruling of the arbitrator(s) shall be final, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. If any question is submitted to a court of law for resolution, then the Superior Court of the County of San Diego or the United States District Court having jurisdiction in the County of San Diego shall be the exclusive court of competent jurisdiction for the resolution of such question. Each party will bear one half of the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, and the cost of the arbitrator. Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees, unless otherwise decided by the arbitrator. The parties understand and agree that the arbitration shall be instead of any civil litigation and that the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and enforceable by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall be entitled to pre-hearing discovery as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.05.

9.13 Consent to Jurisdiction and Forum Selection. The parties hereto agree that all actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement shall be initiated and tried exclusively in the State and Federal courts located in the County of San Diego, State of California. The aforementioned choice of venue is intended by the parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding the possibility of litigation between the parties with respect to or arising out of this Agreement in any jurisdiction other than that specified in this Section 9.13. Each party hereby waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph, and stipulates that the State and Federal courts located in the County of San Diego, State of California shall have in personam jurisdiction and venue over each of them for the purposes of litigating any dispute, controversy or proceeding arising out of

or related to this Agreement. Each party hereby authorizes and accepts service of process sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this Section 9.13 by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to its address for the giving of notices as set forth in this Agreement, or in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 of this Agreement for the giving of notice. Any final judgment rendered against a party in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive as to the subject of such final judgment and may be enforced in other jurisdictions in any manner provided by law.

9.14 Disclosure Schedules. The disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules shall qualify other sections and subsections of the representations and warranties contained in Article III and Article IV to the extent it is clear from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections. Any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules also shall be deemed disclosure under any other section of the Disclosure Schedules that contains an appropriate cross-reference thereto. Disclosure of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules shall not constitute an expression of a view that such matter is material or is required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement is qualified by the materiality of the matter(s) to which the representation or warranty relates, the inclusion of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules does not constitute a determination by any of the Sellers that any such matter is material. The disclosure of any information concerning a matter in the Disclosure Schedules does not imply that any other, undisclosed matter that has a greater significance or value is material.

9.15 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the C&C Sellers, the Sanuk Sellers, Purchaser and Parent shall pay their own expenses and costs incidental to the preparation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

9.16 Construction. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed in favor of or against any party on the ground that such party or its counsel drafted the provision. Any remedies provided for herein are not exclusive of any other lawful remedies that may be available to either party. This Agreement shall at all times be construed so as to carry out the purposes stated herein.

9.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

9.18 Parent Guaranty. Parent hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance of all obligations of the Purchaser arising under this Agreement. Parent waives: (i) any right to require any of the Sellers, the Sanuk Sellers or the C&C Sellers to proceed against Purchaser or any other person or entity; and (ii) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind.
