2.3 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time of the Merger, (i) the separate existence of Sub shall cease and Sub shall be merged with and into CAG (Sub and CAG are sometimes referred to herein as the “Constituent Corporations” and CAG, after the Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”); (ii) the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to provide that the authorized capital stock of the Surviving Corporation shall be 1,000 shares of Common Stock; (iii) the form of By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to be substantially the same as the form of By-Laws of Sub, with all references to Sub replaced by references to the Surviving Corporation; (iv) the directors of Sub shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation; (v) the officers of Sub shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation; and (vi) the Merger shall, from and after the Effective Time of the Merger, have all the effects provided by applicable law.
2.4 Accounting Treatment. The Merger is intended to be treated as a purchase for accounting purposes.
6
2.5 Effect on Capital Stock and CAG Options. As of the Effective Time of the Merger, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties hereto and subject to Section 2.7 hereof:
(a) The outstanding shares of capital stock of Sub shall be converted into a total of 1,000 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time of the Merger, each stock certificate of Sub evidencing ownership of any shares of capital stock of Sub shall evidence ownership of the shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of capital stock of Sub are converted in the Merger.
(b) All shares of CAG Common Stock that are owned directly or indirectly by CAG or by any Subsidiary of CAG shall be canceled and no stock of Zhone or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(c) Each share of CAG Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger that is not a Dissenting Share (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.5(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment equal to the Common Stock Per Share Amount plus (ii) Contingent Payments determined pursuant to Section 2.6.
(d) As of the Effective Time of the Merger, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Optionees or any of the parties hereto each outstanding vested CAG Option shall be converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment equal to the Common Stock Per Share Amount for each share of CAG Common Stock subject to the vested portion of such CAG Option less the exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes for such CAG Option plus (ii) Contingent Payments determined pursuant to Section 2.6. Zhone will not assume any CAG Options and any unvested CAG Options will terminate in accordance with their terms.
2.6 Contingent Payments. In addition to the cash amounts payable to pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(i) and Section 2.5(d)(i) (the “Cash Payment”), the CAG Security Holders shall be entitled to receive additional aggregate cash payments (the “Contingent Payments”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the after tax consideration received on any sale of any of the CAG Products described on the schedule attached as Exhibit F hereto during the two (2) year period following the Effective Time of the Merger. Contingent Payments shall be payable to the CAG Security Holders within seven days after receipt of monies from the sale and shall be accompanied by a statement summarizing the taxes deducted from the consideration, provided, however, that subject to Section 13.2(f), while a claim for indemnification against the Principal Shareholder remains unresolved such amounts as are in dispute, up to, but not exceeding, the Principal Shareholder’s interest in such Contingent Payments, shall be retained by Zhone until such claims are resolved, but may bear interest as provided in Section 13.2(f). Any Contingent Payment payable with respect to any sale shall be paid to the holders of CAG Common Stock and CAG Options pro rata, based upon their ownership percentage of the CAG Full Dilution Amount immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.
7
2.7 Appraisal Rights. If any holders of CAG Common Stock exercise appraisal rights in connection with the Merger under California Law, any shares of CAG Common Stock with respect to which such rights have been duly demanded and perfected (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration described in Sections 2.5 and 2.6 but shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the California Law. CAG shall give Zhone prompt notice of any demand received by CAG for appraisal of or payment for CAG Common Stock, and Zhone shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand. CAG agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Zhone, or as required under the California Law, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal or payment. Each holder of Dissenting Shares (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) who, pursuant to the provisions of the California Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of any shares of CAG Common Stock shall receive payment therefor (but only after the fair value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). In the event that any holder of any shares of CAG Common Stock fails to make an effective demand for payment or otherwise loses his status as a Dissenting Shareholder, Zhone shall, as of the later of the Effective Time of the Merger or the occurrence of such event, issue and deliver, upon surrender by such Dissenting Shareholder of his certificate or certificates representing shares of CAG Common Stock, the consideration to which such Dissenting Shareholder would have been entitled to under Sections 2.5 and 2.6 of this Agreement and the Agreement of Merger.
2.8 Exchange Procedures.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, Zhone shall designate an agent to act as exchange agent for the Merger (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”), and Zhone shall take all steps necessary to provide, or to cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, the Exchange Agent with sufficient funds to make the Cash Payment on a timely basis to the CAG Security Holders. At Zhone’s election, the Surviving Corporation may act as the Exchange Agent.
(b) On the Confirmation Date, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each record holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger represented outstanding shares of CAG Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and to each holder of a CAG Option, a form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), together with instructions for its use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or applicable CAG Option Agreements for payment. Upon each such holder’s proper completion, due execution and delivery of the Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent, together with such holder’s Certificates or Option agreement and any other required documentation, such holder shall be entitled to receive the Cash Payment with respect to the number of shares represented by such Certificate or Option agreement, and such Certificate or Option agreement shall be forthwith canceled; provided, however, that the Cash Payment with respect to shares of CAG Common Stock owned and shares of CAG Common Stock subject to CAG Options held by Xxxx Xxxxxxxx shall be paid in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit G. If not paid on the date indicated on Exhibit G, amounts which are then due but unpaid shall accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum until paid.
8
Amounts that are withheld pursuant to the indemnification rights of Zhone as provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of Section 13 shall not be deemed due until such related claims are resolved, but may bear interest in accordance with Section 13.2(f).
(c) At the Effective Time of the Merger, the stock transfer books of CAG shall be closed and no transfer of any CAG Common Stock shall thereafter be made. Until delivered as contemplated by this Section, each Certificate or Option Agreement which immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger represented any CAG Common Stock or right to receive any CAG Common Stock (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time of the Merger to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Cash Payment and Contingent Payments deliverable in exchange for the shares evidenced by such Certificate or CAG Option Agreement, without interest thereon, or, in the case of Dissenting Shares, the consideration provided under the California Law.
(d) If payment of the Cash Payment is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or CAG Option Agreement is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) the Exchange Agent shall first have received, along with the Letter of Transmittal, a duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment or transfer of such shares, signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or holders appeared on the books of CAG immediately prior to the Merger (or by the legal representative(s) of such holder or holders), along with satisfactory evidence that such assignment or transfer was in compliance with all relevant provisions of applicable laws, and (ii) all applicable transfer or other taxes, if any, required by reason of the payment of the Cash Payment to any person other than to such registered holder or holders, shall first have been paid, and satisfactory evidence of such payment (or that such taxes are not payable) shall have been furnished to the Exchange Agent.
(e) The instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates for payment shall set forth procedures that must be taken by the holder of any Certificate representing shares of CAG Common Stock that has been lost, destroyed or stolen. It shall be a condition to the payment of the Cash Payment to any such holder that the Exchange Agent shall have received, along with the Letter of Transmittal, a duly executed lost Certificate affidavit, including an agreement to indemnify the Surviving Corporation, signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or holders of the lost Certificate appeared on the books of CAG immediately prior to the Merger (or by the legal representative(s) of such holder or holders), together with such other documents as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith.
3. Representations and Warranties of CAG. Except as set forth in the CAG Disclosure Schedule which refers to the Section reference of such representations and warranties as are thereby qualified, CAG represents and warrants to Zhone and Sub as set forth below.
3.1 Organization. CAG is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as it is now

True, correct and complete copies of CAG’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, as in effect on the date hereof and as will be in effect immediately prior to the Closing, have been delivered to counsel for Zhone and are attached to the CAG Disclosure Schedule.

12. Termination of Agreement.
12.1 Termination by Zhone. This Agreement may be terminated, and the Merger abandoned, at any time before the Closing by Zhone upon written notice to CAG, specifying the basis for such termination, if (a) (i) CAG or the Principal Shareholder shall have breached in any material respect any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (ii) an event has occurred which would cause a failure of any of the conditions in Section 11.3(a), or and such breach or failure of condition (x) cannot be cured or (y) shall not have been cured within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof to the breaching party from Zhone, (b) any representation or warranty of CAG or Principal Shareholder contained in this Agreement shall have been materially inaccurate when made, or (c) through no breach of this Agreement by Zhone, the Closing shall not have occurred on or before November 30, 1999.
12.2 Termination by CAG. This Agreement may be terminated, and the Merger abandoned, at any time before the Closing by action of the Board of Directors of CAG upon written notice to Zhone, specifying the basis for such termination, if (i) Zhone or Sub shall have breached in any material respect any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and shall not have cured such breach within fifteen (15) days after notice

thereof to the breaching party from CAG, (ii) any representation or warranty of Zhone or Sub contained in this Agreement shall have been materially inaccurate when made, or (iii) through no breach of this Agreement by CAG or the Principal Shareholder, the Closing shall not have occurred on or before November 30, 1999.

If such termination shall result from the failure of a party to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, such party shall be liable for losses incurred by the other parties; provided, however, that if the Agreement is terminated by CAG pursuant to Section 12.2(i), Zhone shall pay to CAG a termination fee of one million dollars ($1,000,000) in cash in immediately available funds, which shall be deemed to cover all losses incurred by CAG. In no event shall Zhone be required to pay such termination fee if, immediately prior to the termination of this Agreement, CAG was in material breach of any of its material obligations under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 12.4 shall survive any such termination.
13. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnification.
13.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. If the Merger occurs the representations and warranties of CAG and the Principal Shareholder contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing Date for a period of three months; provided however; that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.7, 3.20 and 3.23 shall survive for one year and. provided further that, with respect to claims for indemnification for “Zhone Losses” (as such term is defined in Section 13.2(a)) arising out of “Third Party Claims” (as such term is defined in Section 13.4(a)) all representations and warranties shall be deemed to survive the Closing Date for a period of one year. The representations and warranties of Zhone contained in this Agreement or in any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing for one year. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any claim for indemnity for breach of a representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which such representation or warranty otherwise would terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time.
13.2 Indemnification.
(a) (i) Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, the Principal Shareholder (the “CAG Indemnitor”) shall defend and hold harmless Zhone, its shareholders, officers, directors, employees and attorneys, all Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, and affiliates of Zhone, and the respective officers, directors, employees
36
and attorneys of such entities (all such persons and entities being collectively referred to as the “Zhone Group”) from, against, for and in respect of any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) net of any directly related insurance payments or recoveries previously received from third party insurers by members of the Zhone Group prior to final resolution of, and relating to, such claim, losses, damages, costs and expenses (collectively, the “Zhone Losses”) which any member of the Zhone Group may sustain or incur and which are caused by or arise out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by CAG in this Agreement, including the CAG Disclosure Schedule, except those contained in Section 4 which are addressed in Section 13.2(e).
(ii) Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, Zhone shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the CAG Shareholders from, against, for and in respect of any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (collectively, the “Shareholder Losses”) which any CAG Shareholder may sustain or incur and which are caused by or arise out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by Zhone in this Agreement.
(b) (i) The Principal Shareholder shall not be required to indemnify any member of the Zhone Group for any Zhone Losses until the aggregate amount of all Zhone Losses under all claims shall exceed $200,000 (the “Floor”) or for any claims in excess of $6,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Zhone Losses in respect of such claims exceed the Floor, the Principal Shareholder shall indemnify such member or members of the Zhone Group for all Zhone Losses (including the initial $200,000) in respect of such claims, subject to the further limitations set forth herein, and any claims for breach of the representations set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4(i) shall not be subject to the floor.
(ii) Zhone shall not be required to indemnify any CAG shareholder for any Shareholder Losses until the aggregate amount of all Shareholder Losses under all claims shall exceed the Floor or for any claims in excess of the Cap: provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shareholder Losses in respect of such claims exceed the Floor, Zhone shall indemnify such CAG Shareholders for all Shareholder Losses (including the initial $200,000) in respect of such claims, subject to the further limitations set forth herein. Claims for failure to pay any of the Total Merger Consideration under this Agreement, to the extent not subject to Zhone’s rights to withhold such payment or offset Zhone Losses against such payment and claims for breaches of the representations set forth in Section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4(i) shall not be subject to the Floor.
(c) Zhone shall also be entitled to claim as Zhone Losses all amounts (i) for which Zhone is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 14, (ii) breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.7 (“Taxes”), and (iii) which would be required to be included on the CAG Expense Schedule described in Section 15.7 which are in excess of the amounts actually included on such Schedule. Recovery of any Zhone Losses described in this Section 13.2(c) shall not be subject to the Floor.
(d) The obligation of the Principal Shareholder to indemnify members of the Zhone Group for a Zhone Loss is subject to the condition that the Principal Shareholder
37
shall have received a claim for such Zhone Loss on or before the applicable survival period set forth in Section 13.1 hereof.
(e) The Principal Shareholder hereby indemnifies any Zhone Group member against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Zhone Losses incurred or suffered by such Zhone Group member arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty under Section 4, or covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Principal Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement. Recovery of any Zhone losses pursuant to this Section 13.2(e) shall not be subject to the Floor.
(f) In enforcing its rights to indemnity under this Section 13 Zhone shall first seek payment by offsetting against any amounts payable to the Principal Shareholder by virtue of the payments due to the Principal Shareholder described on Exhibit G, an amount equal to the Zhone Losses, it being understood that such losses shall first be offset against the last payment due to the Principal Shareholder described on Exhibit G, and any remaining amount of the Zhone Losses shall then be offset against any other payment due to the Principal Shareholder described on Exhibit G, in reverse chronological order, until such time as the Zhone Losses shall have been offset in full, it being further understood that if at any time the Zhone Losses cannot be satisfied in full by such offset, then any remaining amounts shall be offset against the Contingent Payments which have accrued or which accrue prior to the time of final resolution of such claim, in which event, pending resolution of such claims Zhone may withhold from such Contingent Payments the amount of such claims up to, but not exceeding, the Principal Shareholder’s interest in such Contingent Payments. If the foregoing sources of recovery for Zhone Losses shall be insufficient, the Principal Shareholder shall pay such excess amounts in cash within 15 business days after the date of final resolution of the claim for such Zhone Losses. In no event shall Zhone offset or withhold amounts in excess of any amount claimed under Section 13.3(b) or Section 14 in respect of Zhone Losses, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.8(b), any amounts withheld but not applied to satisfy Zhone’s indemnification claim shall bear interest from the original due date of payment at a rate of 8.5% per annum.
(g) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Effective Time, its sole and exclusive monetary remedy, with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant to the offset and/or indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 13 and that Zhone shall have no recourse to any of the CAG Security Holders other than the Principal Shareholder; except that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any injunctive or other equitable remedies or any tort claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or for any claim arising out of a breach of the Employment Agreement or the License Agreement.
13.3 Procedures for Indemnification.
(a) As used in this Section 13, the term “Indemnitor” means the party or parties against whom indemnification hereunder is sought, and the term “Indemnitee” means the party or parties seeking indemnification hereunder.
38
(b) A claim for indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnification Claim”) shall be made by Indemnitee by delivery of a written notice to the Indemnitor requesting indemnification and specifying the basis on which indemnification is sought in reasonable detail (and shall include relevant documentation related to the Indemnification Claim), the amount of the asserted Zhone Losses or Shareholder Losses, as the case may be, and, in the case of a Third Party Claim (as defined in Section 13.4), containing (by attachment or otherwise) such other information as Indemnitee shall have concerning such Third Party Claim.
(c) If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third Party Claim, the procedures set forth in Section 13.4 hereof shall be observed by Indemnitee and Indemnitor.
13.4 Defense of Third Party Claims. Should any claim be made, or suit or proceeding be instituted against an Indemnitee which, if prosecuted successfully, would be a matter for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor written notice of any such claim promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice thereof, and the Indemnitor will undertake control of the defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. Indemnitee may participate in the defense through its own counsel at its own expense. The assumption of the defense of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnitor shall be an acknowledgment by the CAG Representative that such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification under the provisions of this Section 13. If, however, the Indemnitor fails or refuses to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such claim has been delivered to the Indemnitor by Indemnitee, Indemnitee shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise and, subject to Section 13.5, settlement of such Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing. In the circumstances described in the preceding sentence, Indemnitee shall, promptly upon its assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, make an Indemnification Claim as specified in Section 13.3(b) which shall be deemed an Indemnification Claim that is not a Third Party Claim for the purposes of the procedures set forth herein. Failure of Indemnitee to furnish written notice to the Indemnitor of a Third Party Claim shall not release the Indemnitor from its obligations hereunder, except to the extent they are actually prejudiced by such failure.
(b) Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such claim and furnishing employees of Indemnitee as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of any such Third Party Claim or for testimony as witness in any proceeding relating to such claim.
13.5 Settlement of Third Party Claims. Unless the Indemnitor has failed to fulfill its obligations under this Section 13, no settlement by Indemnitee of a Third Party Claim shall be made without the prior written consent by or on behalf of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim as contemplated by Section 13.4(a), no settlement of such Third Party Claim
39
may be made by the Indemnitor without the prior written consent by or on behalf of Indemnitee, unless such settlement includes a complete release of all claims against Indemnitee.
14. Tax Matters.
14.1 Indemnification by the Principal Shareholder. The Principal Shareholder shall be responsible for and shall indemnify the Zhone Group for (a) all unpaid CAG Taxes incurred in or attributed to all periods (or portions of periods) up to and including the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes are in excess of (i) the amount of Taxes that are reflected in the reserve for tax liability as shown on the balance sheet included in the CAG Audited 1999 Financials and (ii) the amount of Taxes, if any, that are subject to indemnity by the Principal Shareholder under Sections 14.3(a) and 14.3(b) and (b) any and all unpaid taxes imposed on or with respect to CAG as a result of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.7. For purposes of this Section 14, unpaid Taxes or taxes shall take into account any estimated Tax or tax payment actually made.
14.2 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all excise, sale, use, transfer (including real property transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties resulting or arising from or in connection with this transaction shall be the liability of and paid by the CAG Shareholders.
14.3 Filing Responsibility.
(a) Except as provided in Section 3.7(a) and Section 14.2, Zhone shall prepare and file, when due, all Tax Returns for any taxable period, or portion thereof beginning before and ending on or before the Closing Date which are required to be filed after the Closing Date. The Principal Shareholder shall indemnify Zhone for unpaid Taxes of CAG with respect to such periods after payment by CAG of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for tax liability as shown on the balance sheet included in the CAG Financial Statements and to the extent the aggregate amount of such Taxes as are not so reflected in such reserve for tax liability exceeds the CAG Net Assets Amount.
(b) Zhone shall prepare and file, when due, all Tax Returns of CAG for tax periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date. The Principal Shareholder shall indemnify Zhone after payment by CAG of unpaid Taxes for such periods an amount equal to the portion of such unpaid Taxes which are attributable to the portion of such periods ending on the Closing Date to the extent that such unpaid Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for tax liability as shown on the balance sheet included in the CAG Financial Statements and to the extent the aggregate amount of such unpaid Taxes as are not so reflected in such reserve for tax liability exceeds the CAG Net Assets Amount. In the case of Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts the portion of such Taxes attributable to the period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined on a pro rata daily basis, and in the case of Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, the portion of such unpaid Taxes attributable to the period ending on the Closing Date shall be equal to the amount of Taxes that
40
would be due and payable had such tax liability been computed as if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date.
(c) If requested in a timely manner, Zhone shall permit the Principal Shareholder to review and comment prior to filing any Tax Returns described in Sections 14.3(a) and 14.3(b) for which the Principal Shareholder would have liability pursuant to this Section. Zhone shall reflect the Principal Shareholder’s tax position on such Tax Returns for which the Principal Shareholder is liable unless Zhone determines that such tax position is in contravention of applicable law.
14.4 Contests.
(a) Zhone and CAG, on the one hand, and Principal Shareholder on the other hand, shall give notice to the other party of any pending or threatened audits, adjustments or assessments (“Tax Audit”) which may affect the liability for Taxes of such other party.
(b) (i) If such Tax Audit relates to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or to or to any Taxes for which the Principal Shareholder is liable in full hereunder, the Principal Shareholder shall at its expense control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit. If such Tax Audit relates to any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or to any Taxes for which Zhone is liable in full hereunder, Zhone shall at its expense control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit. If such Tax Audit relates to Taxes for which both the Principal Shareholder and Zhone are liable hereunder, to the extent possible such Taxes will be distinguished and each party will control the defense and settlement of those Taxes for which it is so liable.
(ii) If such Tax Audit relates to a taxable period, or portion thereof beginning before and ending after the Closing Date and any tax item cannot be identified as being a liability of only one party or cannot be separated from a tax item for which the other party is liable, the party which has the greater potential liability for those tax items that cannot be so attributed or separated (or both) shall control the defense and settlement of the Tax Audit, provided that such party defends the items as reported on the Tax Return. Any party whose liability for Taxes may be directly affected by a Tax Audit shall be entitled to participate at its expense in such defense and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense and shall have the right to approve any settlement or compromise of such liability, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
15. Miscellaneous.
15.1 Governing Law. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the internal laws of the State of California (irrespective of its choice of law principles) shall govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.
41
15.2 Dispute Resolution.
(a) In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including without limitation, controversies or claims arising out of the provisions of Section 13 hereof, any party may send another party written notice identifying the matter in dispute. Within fifteen (15) days after such written notice is given, one or more principals of each party involved in the dispute shall meet at a mutually agreeable location for the purpose of determining whether they can resolve the dispute themselves and, if not, whether they can agree upon an impartial third-party arbitrator to whom to submit the matter in dispute for final and binding arbitration.
(b) If such parties fail to resolve the dispute by written agreement or to agree upon the selection of an arbitrator within said fifteen (15) day period, any such party may thereafter commence appropriate legal action with respect to such dispute.
(c) The prevailing party in any such dispute shall be entitled to recovery of the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) counsel for such party in such dispute.
15.3 Assignment; Binding upon Successors and Assigns. None of the parties hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
15.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision which will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the invalid or unenforceable provision.
15.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits hereto, the documents referenced herein, and the exhibits thereto, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect hereto and thereto. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. The letter of intent dated October 13, 1999 between Zhone and CAG is hereby terminated.
15.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
15.7 Expenses. The parties shall each pay their own legal, accounting and financial advisory fees and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred incident to the negotiation, preparation and carrying out of this Agreement and the transactions herein contemplated. In the
42
event that the Merger is consummated, all legal, accounting and financial advisory fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by CAG incident to the negotiation, preparation and carrying out of this Agreement and the transactions herein contemplated shall be borne by the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that a schedule of all such fees and expenses to be incurred through the Closing (the “CAG Expense Schedule”) shall be submitted to Zhone not later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing for purposes of calculating the amount of the Total Merger Consideration.
15.8 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party shall 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 shall not preclude the exercise of any other.
15.9 Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof for default in payment of any amount due hereunder or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.
15.10 Waiver. Any party hereto may, by written notice to the others: (i) waive any of the conditions to its obligations hereunder or extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or actions of the others; (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations of the others contained in this Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) waive compliance with any of the covenants of the others contained in this Agreement; or (iv) waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the others. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, condition or agreement contained herein. Waiver of the breach of any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of other breaches or subsequent breaches of the same provisions.
15.11 Notices.

Exhibit I
Severance Benefit to CAG Employees
1. Participants. Full-time employees of CAG as of the Closing Date.
2. Eligibility. Any employee terminated by Zhone or CAG post-Closing will receive severance, unless terminated for cause as determined in good faith by Zhone management. Additionally, if an employee resigns after a material demotion from what was his or her position prior to the Closing or due to relocation outside of the 50 mile radius of CAG’s office or due to a material reduction in salary, the employee may obtain a severance benefit. Receipt of a benefit shall be conditioned on the employee’s execution of a general release in favor of Zhone and CAG.
3. Amount of Severance. The amount of the severance payment shall be two (2) weeks’ salary for each year of employment at CAG, with the benefits prorated for partial years of employment. However, the maximum benefit shall be thirteen (13) weeks salary. Xx Xxxxxxx shall be entitled to the full 13 weeks’ benefit given his CFO position with CAG. Zhone may elect to pay severance in a lump sum or on a regular payroll schedule, provided that no payment shall be made until all rights to revoke the general release have expired.
4. Term of this Exhibit. Severance shall be available for employees terminated within 180 days of Closing, after which time Zhone’s standard employee benefit package shall govern severance (if any) available to former CAG employees.
