SURVIVAL

10.1 Survival
of Representations and Warranties.
Notwithstanding (a) the making of this Agreement or any related agreement,
(b)
any examination made by or on behalf of the parties hereto and (c) the Closing
hereunder, (x) the representations and warranties of the Xxxxxxxxxx Parties
and
CTK contained in this Agreement, or in any document delivered pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing for a period of six
(6)
months, except for the representations and warranties made in Sections

(Compliance with Laws), and Sections
4.21 and 6.21
(Environmental Matters), which in each case shall survive until the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations for the underlying cause of action
plus
six (6) months and (y) the covenants and agreements required to be performed
after the Closing or pursuant to Article VII
of this
Agreement (unless noncompliance with those covenants contained in Article VII
was
waived in writing at the Closing) shall survive until fully performed or
fulfilled. No action may be brought with respect thereto after such date;
provided,
however,
that
if, prior to such date, one party has notified the other party of a claim for
indemnity under this Article X
(whether
or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim),
such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with
this Article X.
10.2 Indemnification.
The
parties shall indemnify each other as set forth below:
(a) Subject
to Section 10.1,
from
and after the Closing, (x) Xxxxxxxxxx shall indemnify and save harmless CTK
and
its officers, directors, shareholders, successors and assigns from and against
any loss, claim, liability, damage, complaint, action or causes of action,
suits, proceedings, investigations, punitive damages, remedial costs, civil
and
criminal penalties or expenses, costs or other damages of any kind or nature,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any of the
foregoing (collectively, the “Damages”),
to
the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of (i) the
inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Xxxxxxxxxx
-39-
contained
in this Agreement (as of the date hereof, or as of the Closing Date) or of
any
representation, warranty or statement made in any schedule, certificate,
document or instrument delivered by Xxxxxxxxxx, and (ii) the failure of
Xxxxxxxxxx to perform any agreements or covenants of Xxxxxxxxxx contained in
this Agreement; provided,
however,
that
Xxxxxxxxxx shall not be responsible for any Damages with respect to any such
matters until the cumulative aggregate amount of such Damages exceeds $25,000,
in which event Xxxxxxxxxx shall then be liable for all such cumulative aggregate
Damages, including the first $25,000; and (y) CTK shall indemnify and save
harmless each of the Xxxxxxxxxx Parties and their respective officers,
directors, shareholders, successors and assigns from and against any Damages
to
the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of (i) the
inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of CTK contained in
this
Agreement (as of the date hereof, or as of the Closing Date) or of any
representation, warranty or statement made in any schedule, certificate,
document or instrument delivered by CTK, and (ii) the failure of CTK to perform
any agreements or covenants of CTK contained in this Agreement; provided,
however,
that
CTK shall not be responsible for any Damages with respect to any such matters
until the cumulative aggregate amount of such Damages exceeds $25,000, in which
event CTK shall then be liable for all such cumulative aggregate Damages,
including the first $25,000. As used in this Section 10.2,
any
Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 10.2
shall be
referred to herein as an “Indemnified
Party”
and
any
Person required to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions
of
this Section 10.2
shall be
referred to herein as an “Indemnifying
Party.”
(b) The
Indemnified Parties shall notify each of the Indemnifying Parties within a
reasonable period of time after becoming aware of, and shall provide to each
of
the Indemnifying Parties as soon as practicable thereafter all information
and
documentation necessary to support and verify, any matter which the Indemnified
Party shall have determined has given rise to a claim for indemnification
hereunder, and the Indemnifying Parties shall be given reasonable access to
all
books and records in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified
Party which the Indemnifying Parties reasonably determine to be related to
such
claim. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying
Parties or any indemnification claim hereunder shall not relieve the relevant
Indemnifying Party from any liability which such Indemnifying Party may have
to
such Indemnified Party under this Agreement, except to the extent that such
claim for indemnification involves the claim of a third party against the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced
by such failure. If any Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified
Parties within 30 calendar days following receipt by it of such notice that
such
Indemnifying Parties disputes its liability to the Indemnified Parties under
this Agreement, such claim specified by such Indemnified Party in such notice
shall be conclusively deemed a liability of such Indemnifying Parties under
this
Agreement and such Indemnifying Parties shall pay the amount of such liability
to such Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which
the
amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date
when the amount of such claim (or portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
If an Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to
such
claim, as provided above, such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
or
Parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute
and, if not resolved through such negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved
by litigation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
-40-
(c) All
claims for indemnity under this Article X
shall be
paid by the Indemnifying Parties on demand in immediately available funds in
United States dollars.
(d) With
respect to any third party claim or action that could give rise to indemnity
under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the
defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided,
however,
that
upon the request of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party provide
reasonable evidence of its ability to perform its obligations under this
Section 10.2.
After
notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of their election
so
to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to
the
Indemnified Party under the foregoing indemnity agreement for any legal or
other
expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with
the
defense thereof other than (i) those relating to investigation or the furnishing
of documents or witnesses and (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses of separate
counsel retained by such Indemnified Party if (A) the Indemnifying Party and
the
Indemnified Party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel or (B)
counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded reasonably that the
representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them in the conduct of the defense of such action.
(e) Whenever
the Indemnifying Party controls the defense of a third party claim, the
Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise the matter subject to
indemnification without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement
includes a complete release of all Indemnified Parties as to the matters in
dispute and relates solely to money damages. An Indemnified Party will not
unreasonably withhold consent to any settlement or compromise that requires
its
consent.
(f) In
the
event the Indemnifying Party fails to timely defend, contest or otherwise
protect the Indemnified Party against any such claim or suit, the Indemnified
Party may, but will not be obligated to, depend, contest or otherwise protect
against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof, and in such
event, or in the case where the Indemnified Party jointly controls such claim
or
suit, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover its costs thereof
from
the Indemnifying Party, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees,
disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such claim or the compromise
or settlement thereof.
(g) Each
Indemnified Party shall cooperate and provide such assistance as the

TERMINATION
11.1 Termination.
This
Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date (whether
before or after approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by the shareholders of CTK):
(a) by
the
mutual consent of CTK and Xxxxxxxxxx;
(b) by
either
CTK or Xxxxxxxxxx, upon written notice, if there has been a material
misrepresentation or any breach on the part of a party hereto in the
representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement which
is
not cured within ten (10) business days after such breaching party (and CTK
and
Xxxxxxxxxx) has been notified of the intent to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to this subsection (b);
(c) by
either
CTK or Xxxxxxxxxx if the Closing has not occurred on or before May 1, 2007
(the
“Final
Date”);
(d) by
CTK,
upon written notice, if the shareholders of CTK shall not have approved the
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
(including, without limitation, the Reverse Split and the adoption of the Stock
Option Plan);
(e) by
either
CTK or Xxxxxxxxxx, if the Board of Directors of CTK or Xxxxxxxxxx shall have
received a Superior Proposal;
(f) by
either
CTK or Xxxxxxxxxx, upon written notice, if CTK or Xxxxxxxxxx, as the case may
be, shall have determined in good faith not to proceed with the Closing on
the
basis of the results of its financial and legal due diligence investigation
of
the other parties to this Agreement;
(g) by
either
CTK or Xxxxxxxxxx, if all the conditions for Closing shall not have been
satisfied or waived on or before the Final Date other than as a result of a
breach of this Agreement by the terminating party; or
(h) by
either
CTK or Xxxxxxxxxx, if a permanent injunction or other order by any federal
or
state court which would make illegal or otherwise restrain or prohibit the
consummation of the Share Exchange or the other transactions contemplated hereby
shall have been issued and shall have become final and
nonappealable.
11.2 Effect
of Termination.
If this
Agreement is terminated as expressly permitted under Section 11.1,
such
termination shall be the sole remedy and this Agreement shall forthwith become
void (except for Section 7.3
and
Section 12.3)
and
there shall be no liability on the part of the Xxxxxxxxxx Parties or CTK or
any
of their respective Affiliates; provided,
however,
that if
such termination shall result from the breach by a party hereto of its
obligations under this Agreement, such party shall be fully liable for any
and
all damages, costs and expenses sustained or incurred by the other parties
as a
result of such breach. If this Agreement is terminated without a Closing,
Xxxxxxxxxx shall return promptly to CTK all documents, work papers and other
materials of CTK furnished or made available to Xxxxxxxxxx or its Advisors,
and
all copies thereof, and no such information, documents, work papers or other
materials received by Xxxxxxxxxx shall be revealed to any third party or used
for the advantage of Xxxxxxxxxx or any other party; and CTK shall return
promptly to Xxxxxxxxxx, all documents, work papers and other material of
Xxxxxxxxxx furnished or made available to CTK or its Advisors, and all copies
thereof, and no such information, documents, work papers or other materials
received by CTK shall be revealed to any third party or used for the advantage
of CTK or any other party.

Upon
the execution of this Agreement by CTK and Xxxxxxxxxx and the mailing of the
CTK

approved by CTK and Xxxxxxxxxx announcing the execution of this
Agreement. Subject
to the foregoing, except as Xxxxxxxxxx and CTK shall authorize in writing,
the
parties hereto shall not, and shall cause their respective officers, directors,
employees, Affiliates and Advisors not to, disclose any matter or matters
relating to this transaction to any person not an officer, director, employee,

12.2 Amendment;
Waiver.
Neither
this Agreement, nor any of the terms or provisions hereof, may be amended,
modified, supplemented or waived, except by a written instrument signed by
the
parties hereto (or, in the case of a waiver, by the party granting such waiver).
No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall
constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar),
nor
shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No failure of either party
hereto to insist upon strict compliance by the other party with any obligation,
covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement shall operate
as a
waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of any
party
hereto, such consent shall be given in a manner consistent with the requirements
for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 12.2.
For
purposes of this Section 12.2,
each of
the Shareholders, Warrantholders and Optionholders hereby appoints Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxxxx as his, her or its agent and attorney-in-fact to make and execute
and
any all such amendments, modifications, supplements and waivers and hereby
acknowledge and agree that a decision by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx shall be final,
binding and conclusive on such Shareholder, Warrantholder and Optionholder,
as
the case may be, and that CTK may rely upon any act, decision, consent or
instruction of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx.
12.3 Fees
and Expenses.
Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall bear
and pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the origin,
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
agreements, instruments, documents and transactions referred to in or
contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not such transactions are
consummated) including, without limitation, any fees, expenses or commissions
of
any of its Advisors, attorneys, accountants, agents, finders or brokers. CTK
shall pay the fees and expenses of Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP immediately
prior to the Closing by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds.
CTK shall indemnify the Xxxxxxxxxx Parties against any claims of third parties
for any brokerage, finder’s, agent’s or similar fees or commissions in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby insofar as such claims
are
alleged to be based on arrangements or contacts made by, to or with CTK or
its
Advisors or representatives. Xxxxxxxxxx shall indemnify CTK against all such
claims insofar as they are alleged to be based on arrangements or contacts
made
by, to or with any of the Xxxxxxxxxx Parties or their respective Advisors or
representatives.

12.5 Assignment.
This
Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure
to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior
written consent of the other parties; provided,
however,
that
CTK may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any entity
who
by merger, consolidation, purchase or sale subsequently becomes an Affiliate
without the prior consent of the Shareholders or Xxxxxxxxxx. Any assignment
which contravenes this Section 12.5
shall be
void ab initio.
12.6 Governing
Law.
This
Agreement and the legal relations between the parties hereto shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
California, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles
thereof.
12.7 Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall
be
deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the
same instrument. This Agreement will become binding when one or more
counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, will bear the signatures
of
all the parties reflected hereon as signatories. A facsimile, telecopy or other
reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto,
and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties
hereto by facsimile or similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which
the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution
and
delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes.
At
the request of any party hereto, all parties hereto agree to execute an original
of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction
hereof.
12.8 Headings.
The
headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and
shall not constitute a part hereof or define, limit or otherwise affect the
meaning of any of the terms or provisions hereof.
12.9 Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement (which defined term includes the Schedules and Exhibits to this
Agreement) embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes
all
prior agreements, commitments, arrangements, negotiations or understandings,
whether oral or written, between the parties with respect thereto. There are
no
agreements, covenants, undertakings, representations or warranties with respect
to the subject matter of this Agreement other than those expressly set forth
or
referred to herein. This is an integrated agreement.
12.10 Severability.
Each
term and provision of this Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct
undertaking, covenant, term and/or provision hereof. In the event that any
term
or provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be unenforceable, invalid
or illegal in any respect, such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality
shall
not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement
shall be construed as if such unenforceable, invalid or illegal term or
provision had never been contained herein. Moreover, if any term or provision
of
this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time,
duration, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing
it, so as to be enforceable to the extent permitted under applicable law as
it
shall then exist.
-45-
12.11 Other
Remedies.
Except
as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred
upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other
remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party, and the exercise of any one
remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other.
12.12 Absence
of Third Party Rights.
No
provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide
or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind
in
any client, customer, Affiliate, shareholders, or partner of any party hereto
or
any other person or entity unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and,
except as so provided, all provisions hereof will be personal solely between
the
parties to this Agreement.
12.13 Construction
of Agreement.
The
Agreement has been negotiated by the respective parties hereto and their
attorneys and the language hereof will not be construed for or against either
party. A reference to a Section or an Exhibit will mean a
Section in, or Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise explicitly
set forth herein.
12.14 Attorneys’
Fees.
In the
event that any action or proceeding is commenced by any party hereto for the
purpose of enforcing any provision of this Agreement, the parties to such action
or proceeding may receive as part of any award, judgment, decision or other
resolution of such action or proceeding their costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees as determined by the person or body making such award, judgment, decision
or resolution. Should any claim hereunder be settled short of the commencement
of any such action or proceeding, the parties in such settlement shall be
entitled to include as part of the damages alleged to have been incurred
reasonable costs of attorneys or other professionals in investigation or
counseling on such claim.
12.15 No
Joint Venture.
Nothing
contained in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as creating a joint
venture or partnership between any of the parties hereto. Except to the extent
provided in Article XI
and
Section 12.2
and
Section 12.16,
no
party is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an agent, employee or legal
representative of any other party and no party will have the power or authority
to control the activities and operations of any other or to bind or commit
any
other. The status of the parties hereto is, and at all times will continue
to
be, that of independent contractors with respect to each other.
12.16 Further
Assurances.
On and
after the Closing Date, Xxxxxxxxxx shall take such other steps and actions
as
may be necessary to put CTK in actual possession and operating control of
Xxxxxxxxxx, as may be reasonably requested by CTK. Each party agrees to
cooperate fully with the other parties and to execute such further instruments,
documents and agreements and to give such further written assurances as may
be
reasonably requested by any other party to evidence and reflect the transactions
described herein and contemplated hereby and to carry into effect the intents
and purposes of this Agreement.

I
The

of the Corporation is Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Corporation”).
II
The
purpose of this Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for
