At the election of JAMDAT in its sole and absolute discretion, the Post Closing Consideration shall be payable in any combination of immediately available funds and/or JAMDAT Common Stock (the “Post Closing Shares,” and together with the Closing Shares and Escrow Shares, the “Consideration Shares”), with the value of any Post Closing Shares being

12
Shares pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, at Closing JAMDAT shall deliver to the Escrow Agent to hold in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, a certificate or certificates for the Escrow Shares. As part of the Sale Consideration, Escrow Agent, as agent for JAMDAT, shall deliver to the Members the Escrow Shares at the time or times (if any) as the Members become entitled to receive the Escrow Shares pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Only such delivery by the Escrow Agent, as agent for JAMDAT (and not delivery of the Escrow Shares to the Escrow Agent), shall constitute payment of the portion of the Sale Consideration (if any) consisting of the Escrow Shares.
(b) Rights to Escrow Shares. During the period the Escrow Shares remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, JAMDAT shall have all right, title and interest in and to the Escrow Shares (subject only to such rights of the Members to receive Escrow Shares pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement at such time or times as those rights arise), and JAMDAT shall be entitled to any and all of the voting rights related to the Escrow Shares and any and all dividends and other income payable by JAMDAT on the Escrow Shares during such period. JAMDAT shall deliver any and all dividends and other income payable by JAMDAT on the Escrow Shares to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow and considered and treated as Escrow Shares for disposition pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.
(c) Cooperation. At the Closing, JAMDAT shall deliver to the Escrow Agent certificates evidencing the Escrow Shares, and the Members shall deliver to the Escrow Agent assignments executed in blank with respect to the Escrow Shares. In connection with any partial or complete release of Escrow Shares, Buyer shall provide to the Members certificates evidencing such released Escrow Shares and the parties shall execute such documents and take such further actions as necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Section.

If either (i) the Member Certificate states that the Members believe that the calculations set forth in the Closing Net Cash or Net Debt Statement are correct or (ii) the Members fail to timely provide the Buyer with the Member Certificate within the Member Objection Period, then the Members shall be deemed to have conclusively agreed with and shall be bound by the calculations set forth in the Closing Net Cash or Net Debt Statement for purposes of this Section 2.5. If the Member Certificate is timely delivered to Buyer and objects to the Buyer’s determination in the Closing Net Cash or Net Debt Statement, then the Members and the Buyer shall confer in good faith in an effort to reach agreement or compromise on the determinations in the Closing Net Cash or Net Debt Statement; provided, that if after ten (10) calendar days of negotiation and discussion the parties have not reached an agreement regarding the Closing Adjustment (as defined below), the parties shall appoint a mutually and reasonably satisfactory independent certified public accountant (the “Accountant”) to review the calculations of both the Members and the Buyer of Estimated Net Cash and/or the Estimated Net Debt, and to make a final written determination of the Closing Adjustment, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Members, Buyer, the Company and JAMDAT. The Accountant’s engagement pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) shall be limited solely to determining the Net Cash or the Net Debt of the Company and the Closing Adjustment.

ARTICLE 3
CERTAIN TAX MATTERS
3.1 Income Tax Treatment. JAMDAT, the Buyer and the Members acknowledge and agree the Sale shall be treated for Income Tax purposes as a purchase by JAMDAT and the Buyer of the assets of the Company that constitute a single trade or business for purposes of IRC Section 1060 and applicable provisions of this Article III, and (except as required by a final determination as defined in IRC Section 1313(a) or as JAMDAT and Buyer and the Members may agree) none of them shall take a contrary position for any Income Tax purpose; provided, however, JAMDAT and Buyer acknowledge that the Members may, to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Legal Requirements, treat the Sale as a sale of the Membership Interests for Hawaii Income Tax and excise Tax purposes and for United States federal Income Tax purposes in accordance with IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6.
3.2 Allocation of Tax Purchase Price.
(a) The parties agree that the Sale Consideration and all other amounts treated for federal Income Tax purposes as purchase price paid by the Buyer for the assets of the Company (the “Tax Purchase Price”) shall be allocated for such purposes as provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1060-1(c) and pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 3.2; provided that the parties agree that the covenants contained in the Non-Competition Agreement for Xxxx Xxxxxx shall be allocated not more than $500,000 of the Sale Consideration. The parties shall file all Tax Returns (including but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with any such allocation so agreed, if any. None of the parties shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation that is so agreed, if any, unless required to do so by a final determination as defined in IRC Section 1313(a). Nothing contained in this Agreement will impose on either party the duty or obligation to contest any action that the IRS, any Governmental Body or any other taxing authority may take or contest any adjustment or change in such allocation that the IRS, any Governmental Body or any other taxing authority may make or propose.
(b) No later than 75 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall give written notice to the Members of Buyer’s proposed allocation of the Tax Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3.2(a). If the Members do not give written notice to Buyer within 20 days after receipt of such notice from Buyer that the Members disagree with any part or all of such proposal, then such allocation as so proposed by Buyer shall be
15
deemed agreed by the parties for purposes of the application of this Section 3.2, and the Tax Purchase Price shall be allocated as provided in such notice so given by Buyer. If the Members do so give notice of any such objection, then from that time until the expiration of 120 days after the Closing, the Buyer and Members shall negotiate in good faith to reach mutual agreement regarding any matters subject to such objection and the allocation of the Tax Purchase Price consistent with the requirements of Section 3.2(a), and if the Buyer and Member do reach such agreement within such period, then the matters and allocation so agreed upon shall be deemed agreed by the parties for purposes of the application of this Section 3.2. In the event that the Members do so give notice of any such objection and the Buyer and Members are unable so to reach agreement on all such matters, then the matters and allocation that have been agreed shall be deemed agreed by the parties for purposes of the application of this Section 3.2 and, to the extent not so agreed by Buyer and Members, Buyer and each Member shall file its Tax Returns based on its own good faith determinations. Buyer and the Members may enter into or refuse or fail to enter into any agreement pursuant to this Section 3.2 in its or their good faith discretion.
(c) Each of JAMDAT and Buyer shall have no concern, responsibility or liability for allocation of Tax Purchase Price between or among any one or more of the Members or their designees or assignees and shall not be obligated by this Section 3.2 to make or agree to any allocation of Tax Purchase Price between or among the Members, their designees or assignees, and/or any other person.
3.3 Taxation of Escrow Shares. For Tax purposes, the Members intend to report the Escrow Shares and the Post Closing Consideration on the installment method of taxation under IRC §453 as an installment obligation. The parties shall file all Income Tax Returns (including, but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistently under the installment method and United States Treasury Department Regulations Section 1.338-7 based upon the fair market value of the Escrow Shares at the time or times of release thereof from escrow, unless such inconsistency is mandated by applicable Legal Requirements. Further, the parties shall report any income from the Escrow Shares during the applicable escrow period in a manner consistent with Proposed United States Treasury Department Regulation Section 1.468B-8, which states that Buyer shall be treated for tax purposes as owning the Escrow Shares for the period prior to the date on which the last of the events subject to a bona fide contingency either has or has not occurred. The parties acknowledge and agree that JAMDAT shall be considered the owner of the Escrow Shares for Income Tax purposes until such time or times and to the extent the Members become entitled to receive Escrow Shares pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (it being further agreed that JAMDAT may treat the Escrow Shares as not outstanding for Income Tax purposes until such time or times).
3.4 Taxes on Sale and Transactions; Tax Returns. The Members, jointly and severally, shall be responsible for, and shall pay when due, any and all Taxes incurred by the Company, the Members, Buyer and JAMDAT, or any of them, as a result of the Sale and the Transactions (except as otherwise provided in the Escrow Agreement), including without limitation any income, documentary, gross receipts, general excise, sales, use, stamp, registration or other Taxes incurred in connection with the exchange by the Members of Membership
16
Interests for the Sale Consideration as provided hereunder, the transfer of any assets of the Company and the covenants of the Members in the Non-Competition Agreements. Buyer, Company and the Members further agree, upon request and in connection with Closing and the preparation and filing of Tax Returns therefor pursuant to this Section 3.4, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any such documentary, gross receipts, general excise, sales, use, stamp or registration Tax.
(a) The Members shall, at their expense, timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Members (and which are not required to be executed or filed by the Company or Buyer) with respect to all such Taxes and timely pay all Taxes reflected as due thereon.
(b) The Members shall, at their own expense, (i) no less than fifteen (15) calendar days before required to be filed, prepare and submit to Buyer for review and approval by Buyer in its reasonable discretion, (A) all Tax Returns (other than Income Tax Returns) required to be filed by the Company with respect to such Taxes and (B) all Tax Returns relating to the Company and the Business for a period ending on or before the Closing Date including the final United States federal Income Tax Return for the Company, the final State of Hawaii Income Tax Return for the Company and all applicable Hawaii general excise and use Tax Returns and (ii) timely file all such Tax Returns so approved by Buyer together with payment in full of all Taxes shown as due thereon. If so approved by Buyer, then the Buyer will (i) cause the Company to execute such Tax Returns and deliver them to the Members for filing and (ii) if required by applicable Legal Requirements, Buyer will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns required.
(c) No less than fifteen (15) calendar days before required to be filed, Buyer shall prepare and submit to the Members for their review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) any Tax Returns for any period that includes and neither begins nor ends on the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), together with a statement setting forth the amount of any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns that are allocated to the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period under this Section 3.4(c). No less than five (5) calendar days before required to be filed, the Members shall pay to Buyer cash in the amount of such Taxes so allocated to such pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period. For purposes of this Agreement, Taxes incurred during a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period as follows: (i) ad valorem Taxes for such Straddle Period shall be equal to the amount of such ad valorem Taxes for the full Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days during the full Straddle Period; and (ii) Taxes (other than the Taxes referred to in clause (i)) for the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period shall be computed as if such Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date.
(d) Any disagreement or dispute between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Members, on the other hand, regarding the form or content of any Tax Return to be
17
filed pursuant to this Section 3.4 and that requires the approval of Buyer or that will be filed by the Company and on which the Members are entitled to approve pursuant to this Section 3.4 (i) shall be resolved in Buyer’s reasonable discretion solely for purposes of facilitating the timely filing of such Tax Return, and (ii) shall finally be resolved pursuant to a Tax Arbitration.
3.5 Tax-Related Books and Records. Buyer agrees to permit the Members and their Representatives access to the Company’s books and records (other than any books and records created after the Closing Date) to the extent reasonably required for purposes of (i) preparing and filing Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by them pursuant to Section 3.4, (ii) enabling the Members to approve Tax Returns which the Members are entitled to approve pursuant to Section 3.4, (iii) any Tax Arbitration, and (iv) any Tax Contest involving the Company in which the Members are permitted or required to participate pursuant to this Agreement. The Members shall permit Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to the books and records of the Members and their Affiliates (other than any books and records (A) created after the Closing Date, (B) that do not relate to the Company or (C) that are subject to the attorney-client privilege), to the extent reasonably required for purposes of (i) preparing and filing Tax Returns required to be prepared and filed by Buyer or the Company pursuant to Section 3.4, (ii) enabling Buyer to review and exercise its right to approve Tax Returns that Buyer is entitled to review and approve pursuant to Section 3.4, (iii) any Tax Arbitration, and (iv) any Tax Contest involving the Company. In addition, if a party to this Agreement shall desire to dispose of any of such books or records prior to the expiration of seven (7) years after the Closing Date (or, to the extent such books and records relate thereto, prior to a final determination of any Tax Arbitration or Tax Contest), such party shall, prior to such disposition, give each other party to this Agreement a reasonable opportunity, at such party’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as such other party may select.
3.6 Cooperation on Tax Matters.
(a) Buyer, the Company, and the Members shall cooperate to the extent reasonably required in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of books and records and other information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Contest and explanation of any such material to the extent reasonably required; provided, however, for avoidance of any doubt, neither this sentence nor any other provision of this Agreement shall require JAMDAT or Buyer to disclose to the Members or any arbitrator or subject to discovery any Tax Return or tax accrual workpapers of a Member Indemnified Party.
(b) The Members shall promptly notify Buyer, in writing, upon receipt by any Member or any of Affiliate of a Member of notice of any pending or Threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of the Company. The Buyer shall promptly notify the Members, in writing, upon receipt by the Company after the Closing Date (other than from the Members) of a notice of any pending or Threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of the Company for any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date.
18
3.7 Withholding. At or prior to the Closing, and at each subsequent time as Buyer reasonably may require in connection with the payment or delivery of any Sale Consideration or the release of any Escrow Shares, each of the Members shall deliver to Buyer a properly completed IRS Form W-9 (or suitable substitute form), indicating that such Member is a United States person and establishing an exemption from backup withholding. At the time of any direction by a Member to Buyer, pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement or otherwise, to pay or deliver to a designee, assignee or other person any Sale Consideration, Escrow Shares or other amount includible within the Tax Purchase Price, such Member shall cause such designee, assignee or other person to deliver to Buyer a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-8 or W-9 that relieves Buyer of any obligation under any Tax or other applicable Legal Requirements to withhold and remit to any governmental authority any amount that such Member shall so direct Buyer to pay or deliver to such designee, assignee or other person. In all events, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, Buyer shall be entitled to withhold from any amount payable by Buyer to any Member or any designee or assignee of any Member as directed pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement or otherwise.
3.8 Tax Arbitration. Any disagreement or dispute after Closing between Buyer and/or the Company, on the one hand, and the Members, on the other hand, regarding (i) any matter governed by this Article III (other than a matter governed by Section 3.2) or (ii) relating to the manner in which a Tax Contest is to be handled, shall be submitted for final and binding resolution to resolve such disagreement or dispute to (A) with respect to any matter described in clause (i), a Tax partner at a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm or (B) with respect to any matter described in clause (ii), a Tax partner at a nationally or regionally recognized law firm with substantial experience over a period of not less than 10 years in the handling of Tax audits, examinations, administrative appeals and related litigation (such procedure for resolution, a “Tax Arbitration,” and such Tax partner, the “Tax Arbitrator”). The Tax Arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Members, on the other hand (and, if they fail to agree within a reasonable period, the Tax Arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of two persons who are qualified to serve as Tax Arbitrator, one selected by Buyer and the other selected by the Members). Each side shall instruct the Tax Arbitrator to choose either the position proposed by it or the position proposed by the other side and to deliver to each side, as promptly as practicable and in any event within ninety (90) calendar days after his or her appointment, a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement or dispute determined in accordance with this Section 3.8. The determination of the Tax Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties to this Agreement and their respective Affiliates. The fees, expenses and costs of the Tax Arbitrator shall be borne one hundred percent (100%) by the side whose position is rejected by the Tax Arbitrator. Other than such fees and expenses of the Tax Arbitrator, each side shall be responsible for their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Tax Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no arbitrator shall have any power or authority to determine or issue any award or order mandating or compelling the manner in which a party in fact treats any item on any Tax Return of such party or compelling or prohibiting compliance by such party with such Tax payment, withholding or reporting obligations that such party determines it has (or that it is determined to have under any final determination within the meaning of IRC Section 1313(a) or any similar determination under other applicable tax law) or the manner in which it conducts or resolves any Tax Contest to which it is a taxpayer party; provided, however, without any implication to be drawn from this proviso that any such breach may or will give rise to liability for (or an excuse
19
from liability for) any damages, this sentence shall not be construed to excuse, reduce or otherwise limit a party’s liability to another party for compensatory damages for breach of this Agreement.

(d) JAMDAT has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the 1934 Act), which (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to JAMDAT, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to JAMDAT’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities; and (ii) are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. JAMDAT is not aware of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in JAMDAT’s internal controls. Since the date of the most recent evaluation of JAMDAT’s disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Upon the Closing, JAMDAT will be in compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 that are effective and applicable to JAMDAT as an “issuer” as defined under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. Since the date of its initial public offering, neither JAMDAT nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to JAMDAT’s Knowledge, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or representative of JAMDAT or any of its Subsidiaries has received or otherwise had or obtained Knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, in each case, regarding deficient accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods or potentially fraudulent conduct of JAMDAT or any of its subsidiaries or their respective internal controls or any material inaccuracy in JAMDAT’s Financials. No attorney representing JAMDAT or any of its Subsidiaries, or any current or former employee of JAMDAT or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by JAMDAT or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported to the JAMDAT Board or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of JAMDAT evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent conduct or similar violation by JAMDAT or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents.

(e) There are no material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, that may have a Material Adverse Effect on JAMDAT’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses.
6.6 Compliance with Laws. Neither JAMDAT nor Buyer nor any of their Subsidiaries is in, and none of them has received written notice of, a violation of or default with respect to, any Legal Requirement, except for such violations or defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on JAMDAT or Buyer. Each of JAMDAT and Buyer, and their subsidiaries hold all Governmental Authorizations, other than those as to which the failure to hold, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on JAMDAT.
6.7 Proceedings. There is no pending Proceeding that has been commenced against JAMDAT or Buyer and that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, delaying, making illegal, or otherwise interfering or restricts (or, if successful, would materially restrict or prohibit), any of the Transactions, or if determined adversely to any of them, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on JAMDAT or Buyer, and to JAMDAT’s and Buyer’s Knowledge, no such Proceeding has been Threatened.
6.8 Investment. Buyer is acquiring the Membership Interests for its own account for investment, without a view to their distribution within the meaning of § 2(11) of the Securities Act.
6.9 Brokers or Finders. Except for fees and expenses payable to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in connection with a valuation opinion related to the Transactions, neither JAMDAT nor Buyer has incurred any obligation or Liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or other similar payments in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, and JAMDAT hereby indemnifies and holds the Members harmless from any such fees, commissions or payments alleged to be due by or through JAMDAT or Buyer as a result of the actions of JAMDAT or Buyer.

As of the date of issuance thereof, the Closing Shares and, if issued, the Post-Closing Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued pursuant to resolution of JAMDAT’s Board of Directors and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Members shall be the record and beneficial owners of such Consideration Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for Buyer’s rights under the Escrow Agreement with respect to the Escrow Shares, restrictions imposed under the Securities Act and state securities laws, the Registration Rights Agreement, JAMDAT’s charter documents and the Lock Up Agreements.

6.11 Disclosure. Except with respect to the Transactions, the Comerica financing and JAMDAT’s financial results for the period from January 1, 2005 through the Closing, no representation or warranty of JAMDAT or the Buyer in this Agreement or the JAMDAT SEC Reports and no statement by them herein or in the JAMDAT SEC Reports is a misstatement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Cooperation. The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and its Representatives (including without limitation its attorneys) in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in negotiations, arbitrations and the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. This Section 8.2(d) shall not apply with respect to any Buyer Tax Contest or Seller Tax Contest.
(e) Defense of Claims. If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder against the indemnifying party, the party claiming such indemnification shall, give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party as soon as practicable after the party entitled to indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 8.2. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). Any Claim Notice given by the party entitled to indemnification to the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement shall be made prior to the Expiration Date (except with
64
respect to (i) Claims made in respect of Surviving Claims which must be made prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for such claims (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof), and (ii) Surviving Tax Claims, which must be made prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof)), be in writing and shall (i) indicate that the party entitled to indemnification has incurred, paid or accrued (in accordance with GAAP) or, in good faith, believes it shall have to incur, pay or accrue (in accordance with GAAP), Damages in an aggregate stated amount arising from such Claim if it is reasonably possible to set forth an aggregate stated amount, and (ii) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to the party entitled to indemnification), 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 and copies of any formal demand or complaint, the amount of Damages if known, the date each such item was incurred, paid or accrued (in accordance with GAAP) if known, or the basis for such anticipated Damages, and the specific nature of the breach to which such item is related and whether the party entitled to indemnification has notified the insurance carrier if applicable. The failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially damaged or prejudiced by such failure. After such notice, the indemnifying party may elect, by written notice to the indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s own expense, except in the case of a Tax Contest, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice, but, in any event, reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party, to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, in which event the indemnified party shall be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing and (iii) to compromise or settle such lawsuit or action, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
(f) If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such lawsuit or action within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice if required to do so under Section 8.2(e), the indemnified party against which such lawsuit or action has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake, at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such lawsuit or action on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party; provided, however, in which event the indemnifying party shall be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense, to participate in such defense, compromise or settlement with separate counsel of its own choosing; provided, further, that such lawsuit or action shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the indemnified party settles or compromises such lawsuit or action without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
65
will bear no liability hereunder for or with respect to such lawsuit or action unless such consent has been requested and unreasonably denied. In the event the indemnified party assumes the defense of the lawsuit or action, the indemnified party will keep the indemnifying party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.2 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal) and the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an indemnified party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment. This Section 8.2(f) shall not apply to any Tax Contest.
8.3 Limitation on Indemnity/Commitments.
(a) The indemnification obligations of the Members (on the one hand) and JAMDAT and Buyer (on the other hand) with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty or covenant or agreement pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) or (b), respectively, shall be limited to Claims for Damages made prior to the Expiration Date (except with respect to (i) Claims made in respect of Surviving Claims which must be made prior to expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for such claims (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof) and (ii) Surviving Tax Claims, which must be made prior to expiration of thirty (30) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof)).
(b) Neither (i) the termination of the representations or warranties contained herein, nor (ii) the expiration of the indemnification obligations described in this Article VIII, will affect the rights of a Person in respect of any Claim made by such Person received by the indemnifying party prior to the Expiration Date (except with respect to (i) Claims made in respect of Surviving Claims which must be made prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for such claims (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof) and (ii) Surviving Tax Claims, which must be made prior to expiration of thirty (30) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof)).
8.4 Exclusive Remedies. From and after the Closing, except for fraud or intentional misrepresentation of a party (“Fraud Claims”) the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Buyer or JAMDAT for any Damages directly or indirectly incurred, paid or accrued in connection with or resulting from or arising out of this Agreement (including any breach or alleged breach and of the representations, warranties or covenants or agreements of the other party under this Agreement) or any certificate, document or instrument delivered by such party at or prior to the Closing, is set forth in this Article VIII. From and after the Closing, except with respect to (a) Fraud Claims of a party, and (b) as provided in the last sentence of Section 8.4, the sole and exclusive remedy of JAMDAT, the Buyer and other Member Indemnified Parties against the Members for any Damages directly or indirectly incurred, paid or accrued in connection with or resulting from or arising out of this Agreement (including any breach or alleged breach and of the representations, warranties or covenants or agreements of the other party under this Agreement) or any certificate, document or instrument delivered by such party at or prior to the Closing, is set forth in this Article VIII, and shall be limited to and may only be satisfied by recourse to the Escrow Shares then held in escrow,
66
provided that with respect to any Surviving Claims and any Surviving Tax Claims JAMDAT and the Buyer may seek recourse directly against the Members only (i) to the extent that any Damages incurred by JAMDAT and the Buyer, in respect of such Surviving Claims and Surviving Tax Claims cannot be satisfied by recourse to the Escrow Shares, and (ii) up to a maximum amount equal to (x) the total value of the Sale Consideration, less (y) the total amount of all previously satisfied Claims. Buyer, JAMDAT and the Members agree and acknowledge that the limitations set forth herein shall be of no force or effect with respect to Damages of Buyer or JAMDAT related to the Non-Competition Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Lock Up Agreement or the License Agreement.
8.5 Buyer Tax Contest. A Member Indemnified Party designated by JAMDAT shall have sole control of any audit or examination of any Tax Return filed by it or them (or any administrative appeal or litigation relating thereto) at any time, including any such Tax Return for any period beginning on or after the Closing Date (a “Buyer Tax Contest”), including the right to pursue or forego any Buyer Tax Contest or continuation thereof; provided, however, that (a) counsel for such Member Indemnified Party in any Buyer Tax Contest involving a Claim for Tax Damages (a “Tax Claim”)shall consult in good faith with a single counsel appointed for Seller in connection with such Buyer Tax Contest and shall keep such Seller counsel reasonably informed regarding such Buyer Tax Contest to the extent it pertains to any Tax Claim, and (b) such Member Indemnified Party may not resolve or settle such Buyer Tax Contest if any Member would be required to indemnify any Member Indemnified Party, or otherwise be required to make a payment, as a result of such resolution or settlement of the Buyer Tax Contest unless either (i) such Member consents to that resolution or settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (ii) such Member Indemnified Party foregoes the right to such indemnification by such Member and such resolution or settlement does not impose upon a Member an obligation to make a payment for indemnification or otherwise.
8.6 Straddle Period Returns. A Member Indemnified Party designated by JAMDAT shall control any audit or examination of any Tax Return (or any administrative appeal or litigation relating thereto) for any Straddle Period (“Straddle Period Tax Contest”), including the right to pursue or forego any Straddle Period Tax Contest or continuation thereof; provided, however, that, to the extent such Straddle Period Tax Contest involves a Tax Claim, (i) the counsel for such Member Indemnified Party shall consult in good faith with a single counsel appointed for all Members in connection with such Straddle Period Tax Contest and shall keep such counsel reasonably informed regarding such Straddle Period Tax Contest, and (ii) such Member Indemnified Party may not resolve or settle such Straddle Period Tax Contest if any Member would be required to indemnify any Member Indemnified Party, or otherwise be required to make a payment, as a result of such resolution or settlement of the Straddle Period Tax Contest unless either (A) such Member consents to that resolution or settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (B) such Member Indemnified Party foregoes the right to such indemnification by such Member and such resolution or settlement does not impose upon a Member an obligation to make a payment for indemnification or otherwise.
8.7 Seller Tax Contests. The Members shall have sole control of any audit or examination of any Tax Return filed by the Company for a period ending on or before the Closing Date and any related administrative appeal or any litigation if such audit or examination and any related administrative appeal or litigation is not a Buyer Tax Contest or a Straddle
67
Period Tax Contest (a “Seller Tax Contest”), including the right to pursue or forego any Seller Tax Contest or continuation thereof; provided, however, that (i) counsel for the Members in any Seller Tax Contest shall consult in good faith with a single counsel appointed for the Member Indemnified Parties and the Company in connection with any Seller Tax Contest and shall keep such counsel reasonably informed regarding such Seller Tax Contest, (ii) the Members shall not resolve or settle any Seller Tax Contest if such resolution or settlement would or could reasonably be anticipated to result in an increase in liability for Tax of any Member Indemnified Party or the Company for any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after Closing unless JAMDAT consents to that resolution or settlement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) the Members shall deliver to JAMDAT copies of all written communications to and from any Governmental Body in respect of any such Seller Tax Contest and will give JAMDAT the right to attend all conferences (telephonic or otherwise), subject to JAMDAT’s execution of a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement.
ARTICLE 9
TERMINATION
9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned:
(a) at any time before the Closing, by mutual written agreement of JAMDAT and Buyer (on the one hand), and the Company and the Members (on the other hand);
(b) at any time before the Closing, by Buyer or JAMDAT upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Company or the Members set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Company or the Members shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(a) or 4.2(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that if such inaccuracy in Company’s or the Members’ representations and warranties or breach by Company or the Members is curable by such party through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then JAMDAT or Buyer may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) for ten (10) calendar days after delivery of written notice from Buyer or JAMDAT to Company and the Members of such breach (it being understood that Buyer or JAMDAT may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) if such breach by Company or the Members is cured during such ten day period or if Buyer or JAMDAT shall have materially breached this Agreement);
(c) at any time before the Closing, by the Company or the Members upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer or JAMDAT set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Buyer or JAMDAT shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 4.3(a) or 4.3(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that if such inaccuracy in Buyer’s or JAMDAT’s representations and warranties or breach by Buyer or JAMDAT is curable by such party through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then the Company or Members may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) for ten days after delivery of written notice
68
from the Company or the Members to Buyer or JAMDAT of such breach (it being understood that the Company or the Members may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if such breach by Buyer or JAMDAT is cured during such ten day period or if the Company or the Members shall have materially breached this Agreement);
(d) at any time after April 30, 2005 by Buyer, the Company and the Members upon notification of the non-terminating party by the terminating party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before such date and such failure to consummate is not caused by a breach of this Agreement by the terminating party.
9.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void, and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of JAMDAT, Buyer, the Company and the Members (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives or Affiliates), except as provided in the next succeeding sentence and except that the provisions with respect to expenses in Section 10.6 and confidentiality in Section 10.9 will continue to apply following any such termination. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b), (c) or (d), JAMDAT and Buyer will remain liable to the Company and the Members for any willful breach of this Agreement by JAMDAT or Buyer existing at the time of such termination, and the Company and the Members will remain liable to JAMDAT and Buyer for any willful breach of this Agreement by the Company or the Members existing at the time of such termination, and JAMDAT and Buyer, the Company and the Members may seek such remedies, including damages and fees of attorneys, against the other with respect to any such breach as are provided in this Agreement or as are otherwise available at Law or in equity.

10.3 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California (without giving effect to its choice of law principles), except with respect to matters of law concerning the internal corporate or LLC affairs of any corporate entity which is a party to or the subject of this Agreement, and as to those matters the law of the jurisdiction under which the respective entity derives its powers shall govern.
10.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents, together with all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto (including the Disclosure Schedule and the other agreements referred to herein), constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties, including but not limited to the Letter of Intent regarding Proposed Acquisitions dated February 10, 2005 and the Letter regarding Exclusive Dealing dated March 23, 2005. This Agreement may not be amended except in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. 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 unless otherwise expressly provided.
10.5 Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.6 Expenses. Each party to this Agreement will bear its respective expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such party arising from a breach of this Agreement by the other party. In the event the Transaction described hereto is consummated, all expenses of the former Members related to the Transaction described hereto shall be paid solely by those Members.
10.7 Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then, to the maximum extent permitted by
71
law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument.
10.8 Publicity. Except as required by applicable Legal Requirements, none of JAMDAT, Buyer, the Company nor the Members shall issue any press release or make any public statement regarding this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby, without prior written approval of the other parties; provided, however, that in the case of announcements, statements, acknowledgments or revelations which either party is required by applicable Legal Requirements to make, issue or release, the making, issuing or releasing of any such announcement, statement, acknowledgment or revelation by the party so required to do so by law shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement if such party shall have given, to the extent reasonably possible, not less than two (2) calendar days prior notice to the other party, and shall have attempted, to the extent reasonably possible, to clear such announcement, statement, acknowledgment or revelation with the other party and limit such announcement, statement, acknowledgment or revelation to extent commercially reasonable through confidential treatment or protective order. Each party hereto agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold any such consent or clearance. JAMDAT and Buyer shall have the right to issue or make an appropriate press release or public announcement after the Closing.
10.9 Confidential Information; No Disclosure.
(a) Each party hereto will hold, and will use its best efforts to cause its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence from any Person (other than any such Affiliate or Representative), unless (i) compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process (including without limitation in connection with obtaining the necessary approvals of this Agreement and the Transactions of any Governmental Body) or by other Legal Requirements or (ii) disclosed in a Proceeding brought by a party hereto in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies hereunder, all documents, data and information concerning the other party or any of its Affiliates furnished to it by the other party or such other party’s Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, except to the extent that such documents or information can be shown to have been (a) previously known by the party receiving such documents or information, (b) in the public domain (either prior to or after the furnishing of such documents or information hereunder) through no fault of such receiving party or (c) later acquired by the receiving party from another source if the receiving party is not aware that such source is under an obligation to another party hereto to keep such documents and information confidential; provided that following the Closing the foregoing restrictions will not apply to Buyer’s use of documents and information concerning the Business and the Company furnished by the Company hereunder or when a party has to assert rights against another pursuant to this Agreement. In the event the Transactions are not consummated, upon the request of the other party, each party hereto, will, and will cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives to, promptly redeliver or cause to be redelivered all copies of documents and information furnished by the other party in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions and destroy or cause to be destroyed all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses, compilations and other writings related thereto or based thereon prepared by the party furnished such documents and information or its Representatives. The obligations in this
72
Section 10.9 shall be in addition to the obligations of the parties to that certain Non-Disclosure Agreement between the Company and JAMDAT dated as of February 4, 2005, which remains in full force and effect.
(b) The parties hereto recognize that the laws and public policies of the various states of the United States may differ as to the validity and enforceability of covenants similar to those set forth in this Section. It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Section be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement may be sought and that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform to such laws or policies) of any provisions of this Section shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder of the provisions of this Section. Accordingly, if any provision of this Section shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall be deemed to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such determination is made and not with respect to any other provision or jurisdiction;
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this Section would be inadequate and the Company hereby consents to the granting by any court of an injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of actual monetary loss being proved, in order that the breach or Threatened breach of such provisions may be effectively restrained.
10.10 Burden and Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement; provided, however, that any Person that is not a party to this Agreement but, by the terms of Section 8.2, is entitled to indemnification, shall be considered a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, with full rights of enforcement as though such Person was a signatory to this Agreement.
10.11 Service of Process; Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a) Service of Process. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of any process, pleading, notices or other papers by the mailing of copies thereof by registered, certified or first class mail, postage prepaid, to such party at such party’s address set forth herein, or by any other method provided or permitted under California law.
(b) Consent and Exclusive Jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the Central District of California or, if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the County of Los Angeles, California; (ii) consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding; and (iii) waives any objection which such party may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.
73
10.12 Attorneys’ Fees. If any party to this Agreement brings an action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs and costs of accountants and investigations, incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.
10.13 Representation by Counsel. Each party hereto represents and agrees with each other that it has been represented by or had the opportunity to be represented by, independent counsel of its own choosing, and that it has had the full right and opportunity to consult with its respective attorney(s), that to the extent, if any, that it desired, it availed itself of this right and opportunity, that it or its authorized officers (as the case may be) have carefully read and fully understand this Agreement in its entirety and have had it fully explained to them by such party’s respective counsel, that each is fully aware of the contents thereof and its meaning, intent and legal effect, and that it or its authorized officer (as the case may be) is competent to execute this Agreement and has executed this Agreement free from coercion, duress or undue influence.
10.14 Titles. The titles, captions or headings of the Articles and Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
10.15 No Interpretation Against Drafter. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents are the product of negotiations between the parties hereto represented by counsel and any rules of construction relating to interpretation against the drafter of an agreement shall not apply to this Agreement and are expressly waived.
10.16 Additional Survival. In addition to the survival of representations and warranties and other provisions referenced in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, which shall survive pursuant to the terms of such Section, the obligations of the Members and Buyer contained in Articles II, III, VIII and X of this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely.
10.17 Further Assurances. The parties hereto agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as may be reasonably requested by another party hereto for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10.18 Interpretation. All references to currency herein are to United States dollars unless otherwise specified herein. The words “include” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation” or “but not limited to” whether or not they are followed by such phrases or words of like import. References to any statute or statutory provision shall be construed as a reference to the same as it may have been, or may be from time to time e, amended, modified or re-enacted. References to this “Agreement” or any other agreement or document shall be construed as a reference to such agreement or document as amended, modified or supplemented and in effect from time to time and shall include a reference to any document which amends, modifies or supplements it, or is entered into, made or given pursuant to or in accordance with its terms.
