Capital Stock.
(c) EXCHANGE PROCEDURES. Promptly after the Effective
Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as

shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Capital Stock
shall have been so converted and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant
to Section 1.8(d). Parent shall enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up
agreement in the form of EXHIBIT D attached hereto with each Shareholder who
executes such agreement.

Exchange Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest,
certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange
therefor and the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record
date after the Effective Time payable with respect to such whole shares of
Parent Common Stock.
(e) TRANSFERS OF OWNERSHIP. If certificates for shares of
Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the
Company Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be
a condition of the issuance thereof that the Company Certificates so surrendered
will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the
persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent
designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance
of certificates for shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of
the registered holder of the Company Certificates surrendered, or established to
the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been
paid or is not payable.
(f) NO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 1.8, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving
Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company
Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
1.9 NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN COMPANY CAPITAL STOCK. All
consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company
Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be deemed to be full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock,
and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the
Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company
Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they
shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.
1.10 LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. In the event any
Company Certificates evidencing shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such

fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Parent Common Stock and other
amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.8(d).

8.2 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. The Significant
Shareholders agree severally, and not jointly, in pro rata proportion relative
to the aggregate consideration received by such Shareholders, to indemnify and
hold Parent and its officers, directors and affiliates harmless against all
claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of investigation and defense
(hereinafter individually a "LOSS" and collectively "LOSSES") incurred by
Parent, its officers, directors, or affiliates (including the Surviving
Corporation) (collectively, "PARENT INDEMNITEES") directly or indirectly as a
result of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of the
Company contained in this Agreement or (ii) any failure by the Company to
perform or comply with any covenant contained in this Agreement; and each
Principal Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold Parent and its officers,
directors and affiliates harmless against all Losses incurred by a Parent
Indemnitee as a result of an inaccuracy or breach of a representation by such

to this Subsection (a) are referred to herein collectively as "SHAREHOLDER
INDEMNIFICATION SUMS"). The Significant Shareholders shall not have any right of
contribution or indemnification from the Company with respect to any Loss

Significant Shareholders under Subsection (a) for each claim shall be several
(and not joint). Each Significant Shareholder's liability for the Losses arising

such Losses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
Merger Shares received by such Significant Shareholder and the denominator of

obligation to pay any Shareholders Indemnification Sums unless and until the
aggregate Losses exceed $150,000 (the "BASKET AMOUNT"), but thereafter the
Shareholder Indemnification Sum shall include the Basket Amount; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or the Company
Disclosure Schedules which may be construed to the contrary, the items set forth
on EXHIBIT M ("Certain Costs") shall be deductible by Parent from the Escrow
without regard to the Basket.

otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Indemnification and Escrow Agreement.
(i) After the Closing, in no event shall any
Shareholder's (other than the Founders (the "NON-FOUNDING SHAREHOLDERS"))
liability with respect to any Loss exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Merger
Shares held by such Shareholder on the date of the Notice with respect to such
Loss is received plus fifty percent (50%) of the Sales Proceeds (as hereafter
defined) (less any Merger Shares or Sales Proceeds allocated for previously
indemnified Losses). The "SALES PROCEEDS" shall equal the proceeds net of
commissions received by such Shareholder for sales of Merger Shares before the
date of the applicable Notice.
-33-
(ii) After the Closing, in no event shall any
Founder's liability with respect to any Loss exceed (y) one hundred percent
(100%) of the Merger Shares held by such Shareholder on the date the Notice with
respect to such Loss is received plus one hundred percent (100%) of the Sales
Proceeds (less any Merger Shares or Sales Proceeds allocated for previously
indemnified Losses), all with respect to Claims made during the first year after
the Closing and (z) fifty percent (50%) of the Merger Shares held by such

Common Stock, for purposes of satisfying Losses and determining the Maximum
Liability, on the date the Notice is received by the Shareholder's Agent (or the

8.3 ESCROW ARRANGEMENTS.
(a) ESCROW FUND. As security for the indemnity provided
for in Section 8.2 hereof and by virtue of this Agreement and the Merger
Agreement, the Company and the Significant Shareholders will be deemed to have
received and deposited with the Escrow Agent (as defined below) the Escrow
Amount (plus any additional shares as may be issued upon any stock split, stock
dividend or recapitalization effected by Parent after the Effective Time with
respect to the Escrow Amount) without any act of the Company or any
Shareholders. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Escrow
Amount, without any act of any Shareholders, will be deposited with U.S. Bank
Trust, N.A. (or other institution acceptable to Parent and the Securityholder
Agent (as defined in Section 8.4(g) below)) as Escrow Agent (the "ESCROW
AGENT"), such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the "ESCROW FUND") to be
governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow and Indemnity
Agreement. The Escrow Agent may execute the Escrow and Indemnity Agreement
following the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, and such latter
execution shall not affect the binding nature of this Agreement as of the date
hereof among the signatories hereto. Nothing herein shall limit the liability of
the Company for any breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant
contained in this Agreement if the Merger does not close. Parent may not receive
any shares from the Escrow Fund unless and until Officer's Certificates (as
defined in the Escrow and Indemnity Agreement) identifying Losses, for which
Parent is entitled in accordance with Section 8.2 above.
(b) ESCROW PERIOD; DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION OF
ESCROW PERIODS. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be
in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at
5:00 p.m., P.S.T., on the date twelve months after the Effective Time (the
"ESCROW PERIOD"); PROVIDED that the Escrow Period shall not terminate with
respect to such remaining portion of the Escrow Fund (or some portion thereof)
that in the reasonable judgement of Parent, subject to the objection of the
Shareholders Agent (as defined in the Escrow and Indemnity Agreement) and the
subsequent arbitration of the matter in the manner provided in the Escrow and
Indemnity Agreement, is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied Claims specified in
any Officer's Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to termination of
the Escrow Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the
termination of such Escrow Period. As soon as all such Claims have been
resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Shareholders the remaining
portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy such Claims. Deliveries of
Escrow Amounts to the Shareholders shall be made in proportion to Shareholders'
original contributions to the Escrow Fund.
8.4 NOTICE OF CLAIMS. If any Parent Indemnitee believes that it
has suffered or incurred or will suffer or incur any Losses for which it is
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII, or if any legal,
governmental or administrative proceeding which may result in such damages is
threatened or asserted, such Parent Indemnitee shall so notify the Shareholder's
Agent with reasonable promptness and reasonable particularity in light of the
circumstances then existing (collectively, "CLAIMS"). If any action at law or
suit in equity is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which
any Parent Indemnitee intends to claim any damages, such Parent Indemnitee shall
promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such action or suit. The failure of a
Parent Indemnitee to give any notice required by this Section 8.5 shall not
affect any Parent Indemnitee's rights under this Article.
-34-
8.5 DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. In the event of the assertion
or commencement by any Person of any claim or other proceeding with respect to
which any of the Shareholders may become obligated to indemnify any Parent
Indemnitee, Parent shall proceed with the defense of such claim on its own
(including in conjunction with the Surviving Corporation). If Parent so proceeds
with the defense of any such claim:
(a) if reasonably requested by Parent, each Significant
Shareholder shall make available to Parent any documents and materials in his or
its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or
proceeding;
(b) Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or
compromise such claim or Proceeding without the consent of the Shareholders'
Agent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any settlement without the written approval of
the Shareholder's Agent shall not be construed prejudicially against the
Shareholders in determining the amount of any Loss.
8.6 EXCLUSIVITY AS TO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) The representations and warranties (and the related
Schedules thereto) set forth herein and in the closing certificates referenced
in Sections 7.2(c) and 7.3(h) (collectively, the "CLOSING CERTIFICATES") are the
sole and exclusive representations and warranties made by the Buyers and Sellers
