The members of the Shareholder Group acknowledge that Xxxxxx or Xxxxxxx, or both of them, may be required, in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy, to tender their resignations from the Board in the event that they receive more “withheld” votes than “for” votes in an uncontested election of the Company’s directors, and that the Company’s Governance and Nominating Committee, in accordance with such Policy, may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company to accept such resignations. The members of the Shareholder Group acknowledge and agree that such action or actions in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

9. Indemnification and Insurance. Each of Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx shall be entitled to the same rights of indemnification as the other directors of the Company as such rights may exist from time to time. The Company shall, promptly after their election, take such action, if any, as may be necessary to add Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx to the Company’s directors and officers’ liability insurance policy as Insured Persons.
7
10. Non-Disparagement. During the Standstill Period the Company shall not publicly disparage any member of the Shareholder Group or any member of the management of the Shareholder Group, provided that this provision shall not apply to compelled testimony, either by legal process, subpoena or otherwise, or to communications that are required by an applicable legal obligation and are subject to contractual provisions providing for confidential disclosure.
11. Reimbursement of Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement will be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.
12. Specific Performance.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such state, without giving effect to the choice of law principles of such state.
15. Counterparts; Facsimile or Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts which together shall constitute a single agreement. Facsimile or electronic (i.e., PDF) signatures shall be as effective as original signatures.
