(d) For purposes of this Agreement, income, deductions and other items in respect of a Straddle Period will be allocated between the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period and the post-Closing portion of such Straddle Period based on an actual closing of the books of such entity as of the end of the Closing Date.

SECTION 8.04. Tax Covenants.

(a) Buyer covenants that it will not cause or permit the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Buyer to (i) take any action on the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, the distribution of any dividend or the effectuation of any redemption, that could give rise to any Tax liability of the Seller Group or any loss of Seller or the Seller Group under this Agreement or (ii) make or change any Tax election, amend any Tax Return, take any Tax position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any transaction, in each case that results in any increased Tax liability or reduction of any Tax Asset of Seller in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Buyer agrees that Seller is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action, referred to in the preceding sentence, of the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer on the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer and Seller agree to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after Buyer’s purchase of the Shares on Buyer’s Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) and any similar state, local and foreign law provisions.

(c) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be borne and paid by Buyer, and Buyer will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

SECTION 8.06. Refunds.

(c) Except as provided in Section 8.06(a) and Section 8.06(b), Buyer will be entitled to any refunds (including interest paid therewith) in respect of any Tax Liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 8.07. Tax Benefits.

(a) Buyer agrees to pay to Seller any Tax Benefit received by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer from the use in any Post-Closing Tax Period of a carryforward of any Tax Asset of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company from a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Such Tax Benefit shall be considered equal to the excess of (i) the amount of Taxes that would have been payable by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer over (ii) the amount of Taxes actually payable by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer. Payment of the amount of such Tax Benefit shall be made within 90 days of the filing of the applicable Tax

Return for the taxable year in which the Tax Asset is utilized. If, subsequent to the payment by Buyer to Seller of any such amount, there shall be (A) a Final Determination which results in a disallowance or a reduction of the Tax Asset so carried forward or (B) a reduction in the amount of the Tax Benefit realized by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer as a result of any other Tax Asset that arises in a Post-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall repay to Buyer, within 90 days of such event described in clause (A) or (B) (an “Event” or, collectively, the “Events”), any amount which would not have been payable to Seller pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) had the amount of the Tax Benefit been determined in light of the Events.

(b) Any amount paid to or by Seller under this Section 8.07 will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless a Final Determination causes any such amount to not constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes. In such event, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall pay an amount that reflects the hypothetical Tax consequences of the receipt or accrual of such payment, using the maximum statutory rate (or rates, in the case of an item that affects more than one Tax) applicable to the recipient of such payment for the relevant year, reflecting, for example, the effect of deductions available for interest paid or accrued and Taxes such as state and local income Taxes.

SECTION 8.08. Interest. In the event that any payment required to be made under this Agreement is made after the date on which such payment is due, interest will accrue on such amount from (but not including) the due date of the payment to (and including) the date such payment is actually made at the rate designated from time to time in Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code, compounded on a daily basis.

SECTION 8.09. Tax Cooperation.

(a) Seller and Buyer will furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or businesses (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Taxes or Tax Return. Seller and Buyer will cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes and all other Tax matters relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or businesses, and each will execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. The party requesting cooperation under this Section 8.09 will reimburse the other party for any actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in furnishing such cooperation.

(b) Seller and Buyer will report to the other any written communication from or with the IRS that relates in any way to the characterization of the Purchase or any related transaction.

SECTION 8.10. Section 338 Elections.

(a) Buyer and Seller shall join in filing an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the actual or deemed acquisition by Buyer of the Company and each of its U.S. Subsidiaries and will treat such acquisition as a

deemed sale of all of the assets of the Company and each such Subsidiary (“Deemed Asset Sale Treatment”).

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall advise Seller of all material filings and schedules that are required to perfect the Deemed Asset Sale Treatment (collectively, the “Identified Elections”). Seller shall execute, or cause any necessary Subsidiary of Seller to execute, any Identified Election prepared and requested by Buyer that is necessary to achieve Deemed Asset Sale Treatment. Buyer shall provide to Seller any information in the possession of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries that is required to be set forth on any Identified Election.

(d) Seller will pay any Taxes for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and for the portion of any Straddle Period ending as of the end of the Closing Date, attributable to the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election and other elections or filings under this Section 8.10.

(e) Within 180 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will provide to Seller copies of IRS Forms 8023 and 8883 and any required exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Asset Acquisition Statements”) with Buyer’s proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (together with any assumed liabilities). Within 15 days after Seller’s receipt of the Asset Acquisition Statements, Seller will propose in writing to Buyer any changes to the Asset Acquisition Statements (“Seller Proposal”). In the event that Seller does not deliver a Seller Proposal to Buyer within such 15-day period, Seller will be deemed to have agreed to, and accepted, the Asset Acquisition Statements. If Seller delivers a Seller Proposal to Buyer within such 15-day period, Buyer and Seller will endeavor in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to the Asset Acquisition Statements within 15 days after Buyer’s receipt of such Seller Proposal.

(f) If after working in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to the Asset Acquisition Statements as described in the last sentence of Section 8.10(e), Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any differences that, in the aggregate, are material in relation to the Purchase Price, then any remaining disputed matters shall be determined by an independent accounting firm of national standing (the “Allocation Arbiter”) selected by Buyer and Seller, which firm shall not be the regular accounting firm of either Buyer or Seller. Within 15 days after its appointment, the Allocation Arbiter will determine (based solely on presentations by Buyer and Seller and not by independent review) only those matters in dispute and will issue a written report as to those matters and the resulting allocation of Purchase Price, which report shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer and Seller. The fees and costs of the Allocation Arbiter shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall apply to any dispute regarding the Asset Acquisition Statements.

(g) Buyer and Seller and their respective Subsidiaries shall file any required Tax Returns consistent with the Deemed Asset Sale Treatment. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns and reports consistent with the allocation of Purchase Price provided in the Asset Acquisition Statements (as may be modified by the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller as provided in Section 8.10(f)) or, if applicable, the determination of the Allocation Arbiter.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) neither the Seller Basket nor the limitations set forth in this Section 10.02(a) shall apply to the breach of any of Seller’s covenants and agreements contained in Section 2.03 and (ii) the Seller Basket shall not apply in the case of any breach by Seller of its covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.04(b) and 5.04(c).

(b) Indemnification by Buyer.

In no event shall Buyer’s liability under clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price (as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.03). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) neither the Buyer Basket nor the limitations set forth in this Section 10.02(b) shall apply to the breach of any of Buyer’s covenants and agreements contained in Section 2.03 and (ii) the Buyer Basket shall not apply in the case of any breach by Buyer of its covenants and agreements contained in Sections 6.02 and 6.03.

SECTION 10.03. Notice of Claim; Third Party Claims.

(a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 10.02 (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding (any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, a “Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 10.02

and will provide the Indemnifying Party with such information relating thereto that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. Each Notice of Claim will contain the following: (i) a statement that the Indemnified Party has incurred or suffered Damages in an aggregate stated amount arising from such Claim (which amount may be the amount of damages claimed by a third party in a Third Party Claim (as defined in Section 10.03(b))); and (ii) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to the Indemnified Party), of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Damages based on the Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof, including the identity and address of any third-party claimant (to the extent reasonably available to the Indemnified Party) and copies of any formal demand or complaint, the amount of Damages, the date each such item was incurred or suffered and the specific nature of the breach to which such item is related. The failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnified Party will defend any Claim asserted by any third party (“Third Party Claim”), and the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense (including the reasonable fees of attorneys, other professionals and experts and court or arbitration costs) will be included in the Damages for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification pursuant to a Claim made by such Indemnified Party hereunder. If such Third Party Claim relates solely to monetary damages and not for injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary relief, then the Indemnifying Party may, with the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (or if the Indemnified Party continues to fail to actively and diligently defend a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party provides thirty (30) days’ notice of such failure), assume the defense of (and, subject to this Section 10.03, settle) such claim and shall not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense (subject to a 30-day period, after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party is not diligently conducting such defense, during which it may cure any failure to diligently conduct such defense), be liable to the Indemnified Party for any fees of the Indemnified Party’s counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such claim incurred after the assumption of such defense; provided, however, that this Section 10.03(b) shall not apply in the event that the parties’ insurance policies prohibit such action.

(c) The party that is not defending a Third Party Claim (the “Non-Defending Party”) will have the right to participate at its own expense in all proceedings. Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(d) The party that is defending a Third Party Claim shall obtain the prior written consent of the Non-Defending Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such consent by the Indemnifying Party will not be deemed to be an acceptance of the related Claim by the Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.02 for the amount of such settlement.

SECTION 10.04. Calculation of Damages.

(a) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 10.02 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 10.02 for any Damages for lost profits.

(c) The right to indemnification, payment of damages or other remedy based on the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Indemnifying Party contained herein will not be affected by any investigation or diligence conducted by the Indemnified Party with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by the Indemnified Party, at any time whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

SECTION 10.05. Resolution of Notice of Claim. Each Notice of Claim delivered by an Indemnified Party to an Indemnifying Party will be resolved as follows:

(a) If, within 20 calendar days after a Notice of Claim is received by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party does not contest such Notice of Claim in writing to the Indemnified Party as provided in Section 10.05(b), then the Indemnifying Party will be conclusively deemed to have consented to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of the full amount of the Damages specified in the Notice of Claim and, without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Indemnifying Party for such amount in any court having jurisdiction over the matter where venue is proper.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party gives the Indemnified Party written notice contesting all or any portion of a Notice of Claim (a “Contested Claim”) within the 20-day period specified in Section 10.05(a), then such Contested Claim will be resolved by either (i) a written settlement agreement executed by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or (ii) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement, by binding arbitration between Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 10.05(c).

(c) Any Contested Claim that is not resolved in accordance with Section 10.05(b)(i) will be submitted to mandatory, final and binding arbitration before J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE or its successor (“J.A.M.S.”), pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et. seq., and any such arbitration will be conducted in Santa Xxxxx County, California. If J.A.M.S. ceases to provide arbitration service, then the term “J.A.M.S.” as used in this Agreement will thereafter mean and refer to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may commence the arbitration process called for by this Agreement by filing a written demand for arbitration with J.A.M.S. and giving a copy of such demand to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of J.A.M.S’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration (or, if J.A.M.S. then means the AAA, the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA then in effect), subject to the provisions of this Section 10.05(c).

The parties will cooperate with J.A.M.S. and with each other in promptly selecting a single arbitrator from J.A.M.S.’ panel of neutrals and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings in order to fulfill the provisions, purposes and intent of this Agreement. The parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share in its costs in accordance with Section 10.05(c)(i). The provisions of this Section 10.05(c) may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.05(c)(vii), judgment upon the Final Award (as defined below) or any other final finding rendered by the arbitrator in the arbitration may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction.

(i) Payment of Costs. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will bear the expense of deposits and advances required by the arbitrator in equal proportions, but either party may advance such amounts, subject to recovery as an addition or offset to any award. The arbitrator will determine in the Final Award the party who is the prevailing party and the party who is not the prevailing party (the “Non-Prevailing Party”). The Non-Prevailing Party will pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses related to the arbitration, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professionals incurred by the prevailing party, the fees of the arbitrator and the administrative fee of the arbitration proceedings. If such an award would result in manifest injustice, however, the arbitrator may apportion such costs, fees and expenses between the parties in such a manner as the arbitrator deems just and equitable.

(ii) Burden of Proof. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, for any Contested Claim submitted to arbitration, the burden of proof will be as it would be if the Claim were litigated in a judicial proceeding governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of California applicable to contracts executed and entered into within the State of California, without regard to the principles of choice of law or conflicts of law of any jurisdiction.

(iii) Award. Upon the conclusion of any arbitration proceedings hereunder, the arbitrator will render findings of fact and conclusions of law and a final written arbitration award setting forth the basis and reasons for any decision reached (the “Final Award”) and will deliver such documents to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, together with a signed copy of the Final Award. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.05(c)(vii), the Final Award will constitute a conclusive determination of all issues in question, binding upon the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and will include an affirmative statement to such effect. To the extent that the Final Award determines that an Indemnified Party has actually incurred Damages in connection with the Contested Claim through the date of the Final Award (“Incurred Damages”), the Final Award will set forth and award to such Indemnified Party the amount of such Incurred Damages. In addition, the Final Award will set forth and award to the Indemnified Party an additional amount of Damages equal to the reasonably foreseeable amount of alleged Damages that the arbitrator determines (based on the evidence submitted by the parties in the arbitration) is reasonably likely to be incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result of the facts giving rise to the Contested Claim (“Estimated Damages”), which amount of Estimated Damages may include the amount of damages claimed by a third party in an action brought against the Indemnified Party based on

alleged facts which, if true, would give rise to Damages.

(iv) Timing. The Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party and the arbitrator will conclude each arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.05(c) as promptly as possible for the Contested Claim being arbitrated.

(v) Terms of Arbitration. The arbitrator chosen in accordance with these provisions will not have the power to alter, amend or otherwise affect the terms of these arbitration provisions or the provisions of this Agreement.

(vi) Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing Date, except as specifically otherwise provided herein, arbitration conducted in accordance with this Agreement will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any Claim made pursuant to Article 10.

(vii) Treatment of Damages. Upon issuance and delivery of the Final Award as provided in Section 10.05(c)(iii), the Indemnified Party will immediately be entitled to recover (A) the amount of any Incurred Damages determined and awarded to the Indemnified Party under such Final Award and (B) the amount of any Estimated Damages determined and awarded to the Indemnified Party under such Final Award, and such Incurred Damages and Estimated Damages will be deemed to be owed to the Indemnified Party for purposes of this Agreement. Both Incurred Damages and Estimated Damages owed to Indemnified Parties are deemed to be Damages for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If a Claim (including a Contested Claim) is settled by a written settlement agreement executed by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (a “Settled Claim”), then the parties will resolve such Settled Claim as provided in such settlement agreement.

SECTION 10.06. Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages pursuant to Section 10.02 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying Claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.

SECTION 10.07. Exclusivity. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party waives any rights and claims the Indemnified Party may have against the Indemnifying Party, whether in law or in equity, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The rights and claims waived by the Indemnified Party include, without limitation, claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to any Environmental Law, claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. After the Closing, Section 10.02 will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement (other than those contained in Sections 5.02(b) and 6.02) or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby

and thereby, except for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of the NDA, the License Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement or the Sublease Consent; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Buyer or Seller from seeking and obtaining temporary and permanent injunctive relief or specific performance in the case of any breach by the other party hereto of such other party’s obligations contained in Sections 5.02(b), 5.04(c), 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04.

ARTICLE 11
TERMINATION

SECTION 11.01. Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer;

(b) by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before December 15, 2004; or

(c) by either Seller or Buyer if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body having competent jurisdiction.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

SECTION 11.02. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 11.01, such termination shall be without liability of either party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to the other party to this Agreement; provided, however, that if such termination shall result from the willful (i) failure of either party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party or (ii) failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement, such party shall be fully liable for any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure without regard to the proviso and other limitations set forth in Section 10.02(a) or Section 10.02(b), as applicable. The provisions of Sections 5.02(c), 6.01, 12.03, 12.05, 12.06, 12.07, 12.13 and 12.14 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 11.01.

SECTION 12.11. Seller Disclosure Letter. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Seller Disclosure Letter may include certain items and information solely for informational purposes for the convenience of Buyer and (ii) the disclosure by Seller of any matter in the Seller Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by Seller that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or that the matter is material.

SECTION 12.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is for any reason held to any extent to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application thereof will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto.
