limitation, this Section 3.1 and the escrow provisions set forth in Section 3.5
and ARTICLE VII, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on
the part of Parent, Sub, the Company or the Company Stockholders, each outstanding share of Company
Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any such
shares issued and held in the Company’s treasury and any Dissenting Shares but including such
shares of Company Capital Stock automatically issued upon the net exercise of that certain Company
Series D Warrant) will be canceled
and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive the applicable Per
Share Class Payment Amount, payable in each case without interest and subject to any applicable Tax
withholding to the Company Stockholders, upon surrender of the Certificate representing such shares
of Company Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 3.4.
(b) On and after the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock issued and held in
the Company’s treasury at the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, be canceled and be retired without
payment of any consideration therefor and cease to exist.
(c) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Sub
shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be
converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

22
3.2 Treatment of Company Options and Company Warrants.
(a) Effect on Vested Company Options. No outstanding Vested Company Options shall be
assumed by Parent. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, this Section 3.2(a) and the escrow provisions set forth in
Section 3.5 and ARTICLE VII, at the Effective Time, each then outstanding Vested
Company Option shall, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into and shall become a right to
receive an amount in cash, without interest, with respect to each share subject thereto, equal to
the excess, if any, of the Common Stock Per Share Payment Amount over the per share exercise price
of such Vested Company Option (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Net Vested Company
Option Payment Amount”), and each such Vested Company Option shall terminate at the Effective Time.
The payment of the Net Vested Company Option Payment Amount to any holder of Vested Company
Options shall be reduced by any income or employment Tax withholding required under the Code or any
provision of applicable state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so
withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder
of the Vested Company Options.
(b) Effect on Unvested Company Options. As soon as practicable following the Closing
but effective as of the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option (except for Unvested Company
Options that are Out-of-the-Money Company Options, which will in each case accelerate and become
Vested Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time and treated in accordance with
Section 3.2(a)) shall be assumed by Parent as a Parent Option. Except as otherwise set
forth in this Agreement, each Unvested Company Option so assumed by Parent pursuant to this
Section 3.2(b) shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions
(including vesting terms) set forth in the Company Option Plan and the option agreements relating
thereto, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such assumed
Unvested Company Option will be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock
equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon
exercise of such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the
Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock,
and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of such assumed Unvested Company Option shall
be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common
Stock at which such assumed Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the
Closing Date by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The assumption of
Unvested Company Options pursuant to this Section 3.2(b), with respect to any options
intended to be “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be effected
in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code.
(c) Effect on Company Warrants. No outstanding Company Warrant shall be outstanding
as of the Closing or assumed by Parent.
3.3 Calculation. For purposes of calculating the amount of cash payable to each Company
Stockholder and holder of Vested Company Options pursuant to this ARTICLE III, all shares
of Company Capital Stock held (or deemed to be held, as the case may be) by each Company
Stockholder and holder of Vested Company Options shall be aggregated, and the aggregate amount of
cash issuable to each Company Stockholder and holder of Vested Company Options shall be rounded (up
or down) to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that in no event shall the maximum amount of
cash payable to all Company Stockholders and holders of Vested Company Options exceed the
difference between (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) that portion of the Merger Consideration
attributable to the Unvested Company Options.

such Certificates or Vested Company Options, or shall not have complied with this
Section 3.4, by the date which is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date (or such
earlier date as shall be immediately prior to such date as the applicable Per Share Class Payment
Amount or any amounts payable from the Escrow Fund would otherwise escheat to or become property of

Effective Time but shall be instead paid in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of,
ARTICLE VII hereof. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Fund shall be
treated as an installment obligation for purposes of Section 453 of the Code, and no party shall

amount as the Surviving Corporation or Paying Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that
may be made against it with respect to such Certificate or Company Warrant, as the case may be, the
Paying Agent or the Company will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
or Company Warrant, as the case may be, the consideration to which the holder may be entitled

applicable Law, and to request and be provided any necessary Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or
the appropriate version of Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information. To the extent such
amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall
be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom
such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
3.9 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any
shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and that
are held by a stockholder who has properly exercised his, her or its appraisal rights under the
DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the payments set
forth in Section 3.1 unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed to perfect, or
shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, his, her or its right to dissent from the Merger under
the DGCL and to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such
Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the DGCL. The Company shall give
Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for the exercise of dissenters’ rights
with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock and will consult in good faith with Parent with
respect to all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not,
except with the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld), make any payment

withdrawn. The Closing will not affect the enforceability against any Person of any Lease

call into question the qualified status of any such Company Employee Plan. Any Company Employee
Plan intended to be exempt from ERISA pursuant to DOL
Reg. §2510.3(j) has been established and maintained so as to qualify for such exemption. No
“prohibited transaction,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Sections 406 and 407 of

Affiliates, threatened by the IRS, DOL, or any other Governmental Authority with respect to any
Company Employee Plan. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate is
subject to any penalty or Tax with respect to any Company Employee Plan under Section 502(i) of
ERISA or Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries and
ERISA Affiliates has timely made all contributions and other payments required by and due under the
terms of each Company Employee Plan. No event has occurred and there exists no condition or set of

ERISA, (iii) “multiple employer plan” as defined in ERISA or the Code, or (iv) a “funded welfare
plan” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code. No Company Employee Plan provides health
benefits that are not fully insured through an insurance contract other than pursuant to a health
flexible spending account. Each Pension Plan that is not qualified under Code Sections 401(a) or
403(a) is exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA as an unfunded plan that is maintained
primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or
highly compensated employees, pursuant to ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1). No
assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate are allocated to or held in a “rabbi trust” or similar
funding vehicle. Except as specified in Section 4.22(e)(1) of the Disclosure Schedule,
there are no reserves, assets, surpluses or prepaid premiums with respect to any Welfare Plan. No
Welfare Plan is a multiple employer welfare arrangement as defined in ERISA Section 3(40). Except
as set forth in Section 4.22(e)(2) of the Disclosure Schedule, with respect to each Company
Employee Plan, there are no benefit obligations for which contributions have not been made or
properly accrued and there are no unfunded benefit obligations that have not been accounted for by
53
reserves, or otherwise properly footnoted in accordance with GAAP, on the financial statements of
the Company.

provides, or reflects or represents any Liability to provide, post termination or retiree life
insurance, health or other employee welfare benefits to any Person for any reason, except as would
reasonably be expected to be required by COBRA or other applicable Law, and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever represented, promised or
contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any Employee (either individually or to Employees
as a group) or any other Person that such Employee(s) or other Person(s) would be provided with
post termination or retiree life insurance, health or other employee welfare benefits, except to
the extent required by Law.

FMLA, HIPAA, Medicare Part D, the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, the Newborns’ and
Mothers’ Health Protection Act of 1996, and any similar provisions of foreign or state Law
applicable to its Employees. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA
Affiliate has any unsatisfied obligations to any Employees or qualified beneficiaries pursuant to
COBRA, HIPAA or any state Law governing health care coverage or extension. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has any Knowledge of any breach of the Privacy Rule
or the Security Rule issued under HIPAA by any Business Associate (as defined by the Privacy Rule)
of any applicable Company Employee Plan.
(h) Effect of Transaction. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in connection with any
other event, contingent or otherwise) or any termination of employment or service in connection
therewith will (i) result in any payment or benefit (including notice, severance, golden parachute,
bonus, commission or otherwise), becoming due to any Employee, (ii) result in any forgiveness of
Indebtedness, (iii) materially increase any benefits otherwise payable by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or (iv) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such
benefits except as required under Section 411(d)(3) of the Code. Except as disclosed in
Section 4.22(h) of the Disclosure Schedule, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will not: (i) entitle any current or former Employee to
unemployment compensation or any similar payment; (ii) increase the amount of any compensation due
to, or in respect of, any current or former Employee; or (iii) constitute or involve a prohibited
transaction (as defined in ERISA Section 406 or Code Section 4975), constitute or involve a breach
of fiduciary responsibility within the meaning of ERISA Section 502(l) or otherwise violate Part 4
of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.

calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount as set forth in the Estimated Working Capital
Statement, the “Estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount”), which shall have been delivered to
Parent by the Company at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date hereof. The Estimated
Working Capital Statement shall have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP and shall
present fairly, on a good faith basis and using the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, the
estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date. Such Estimated Working Capital
Statement
61
shall be certified by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company as having been prepared in accordance with the foregoing principles and shall serve as the
basis for the calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount for purposes of calculating the Merger Consideration at
Closing.
(b) Within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared and
delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative an updated statement of the Adjusted Working Capital
Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) prepared in accordance with
GAAP, which shall take into account any information not available to the parties at the time the
Estimated Working Capital Statement shall have been delivered.
(c) Following the delivery by Parent of the Closing Working Capital Statement, the
Stockholders’ Representative and his representatives shall be given all such access as they may
reasonably require during Parent’s normal business hours (or such other times as the parties may
agree) to those books and records of the Company and the Surviving Corporation in the possession
of, and/or under the control of, Parent, and access to such personnel or representatives of the
Company and Parent as they may reasonably require for the purposes of resolving any disputes or
responding to any matters or inquiries raised concerning the Closing Working Capital Statement
and/or the calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount.
(d) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days following the date of
delivery by Parent to the Stockholders’ Representative of the Closing Working Capital Statement to
provide Parent with a written certificate confirming that the Adjusted Working Capital Amount used
in the calculation of the Merger Consideration is correct (the “Confirmation Certificate”) or
notifying Parent in writing of any good faith objections to specific components of the calculation
of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount as set forth on the Closing Working Capital Statement (a
“Working Capital Dispute Notice”) setting forth a reasonably specific and detailed description of
such objections and the reasons therefor. If a Confirmation Certificate is delivered by or on
behalf of the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 6.5(d), the Adjusted
Working Capital Amount used in the calculation of the Merger Consideration shall be deemed to be
final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties. Furthermore, to
the extent no objections are raised with respect to any components of the calculation of the
Adjusted Working Capital Amount as set forth in the Closing Working Capital Statement, such
components shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Stockholders’ Representative and not subject to
further dispute or objection.
(e) If the Stockholders’ Representative shall object to all or a portion of the components of
the Closing Working Capital Statement or Parent’s calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital
Amount as reflected in the Working Capital Dispute Notice, a representative of Parent, on the one
hand, and the Stockholders’ Representative, on the other, shall negotiate with one another and
attempt in good faith to resolve any such objection within ten (10) days of the receipt by Parent
of the Working Capital Dispute Notice.
(f) If Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be unable to resolve any such dispute
within such ten (10) day period, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (either together or
separately) shall be entitled to submit the dispute to the Independent Auditor. Each of the
parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause their respective officers, directors, employees,
and representatives to, provide full cooperation to the Independent Auditor. The Independent
Auditor shall (i) act in its capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) consider only
those matters as to which there is a dispute between the parties and (iii) be instructed to reach
its conclusions regarding any such dispute within thirty (30) days after its appointment and
provide a written explanation of its decision. In the event that Parent and the Stockholders’
Representative shall submit any dispute to the Independent Auditor,
62
each such party may submit a “position paper” to the Independent Auditor setting forth the
position of such party with respect to such dispute, to be considered by such Independent Auditor
as it deems fit. All fees and expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Auditor shall
be paid in equal proportions by Parent and the Indemnifying Parties or in such other proportions as
the Independent Auditor determines to be appropriate having regard to the respective merits of the
parties’ positions. Parent may elect to pay the fees and expenses for which the Indemnifying
Parties are responsible hereunder to the Independent Auditor (the “Stockholder Expenses”), in which
case Parent shall be reimbursed for such payment by deduction of the amount of the Stockholder
Expenses from the Working Capital Escrow Amount.
(g) If the Stockholders’ Representative does not deliver a Working Capital Dispute Notice in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.5(d) above (i.e., within the thirty
(30) day period specified therein), the Closing Working Capital Statement (together with Parent’s
calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount) shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of
the parties to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties. In the event that the Stockholders’
Representative delivers a Working Capital Dispute Notice in accordance with the provisions above
and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are able to resolve such dispute by mutual
agreement, the Closing Working Capital Statement, together with the calculation of the Adjusted
Working Capital Amount, to the extent modified by the mutual agreement of such parties, shall be
deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties.
In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a Working Capital Dispute Notice in
accordance with the provisions set forth above and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are
unable to resolve such dispute by mutual agreement, the determination of the Independent Auditor
shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties, together
with the calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount, to the extent modified by the
Independent Auditor, shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement
and the Indemnifying Parties. The provisions of Section 7.6 shall apply to any and all
acts by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with this Section 6.5. The Adjusted
Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be referred
to herein as the “Final Adjusted Working Capital Amount.”
(h) In the event that it is determined that the Adjusted Working Capital Amount shall have
been understated or overstated in the original calculation of the Merger Consideration for purposes
of the payments made to the Indemnifying Parties at the Closing, Parent shall be (i) in the event
that the Merger Consideration shall have been overstated, entitled to deduct, first from the
Working Capital Escrow Amount and second, if the Working Capital Escrow Amount is insufficient to
satisfy the entire amount of such overstatement, from the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the amount
by which the Merger Consideration shall have been overstated (the amount of such overstatement, the
“Overstated Amount”), and an amount, if any, equal to the difference between the Working Capital
Escrow Amount and such overstatement shall be released to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance
with their Pro Rata Portion and (ii) in the event that the Merger Consideration shall have been
understated, required to deliver an amount of cash equal to the amount by which the Merger
Consideration shall have been understated (the amount of such understatement, the “Understated
Amount”) to the Paying Agent for distribution pursuant to Section 3.4; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, (A) in the event the Estimated
Adjusted Working Capital Amount was greater than the Adjusted Working Capital Target, then in no
event shall the Overstated Amount exceed the difference between (1) the Adjusted Working Capital
Target and (2) the Final Adjusted Working Capital Amount, (B) in the event the Estimated Adjusted
Working Capital Amount was less than the Adjusted Working Capital Target, then in no event shall
the Understated Amount exceed the difference between (I) the Adjusted Working Capital Target and
(II) the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount and (C) if the
Estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount and the Final Adjusted Working Capital Amount are
both greater than the Adjusted Working Capital Target, there will be no adjustment pursuant to this Section
63
6.5. In the event of an Overstated Amount, then such Overstated Amount, subject to
the limitations set forth in the foregoing sentence, shall be treated as Losses for purposes of
ARTICLE VII, and shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with each
Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion.
6.6 Repayment of Company Debt. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall have
taken all actions necessary for the repayment or prepayment of all of the Company Debt, including
the obtaining of the Payoff Letters and ascertaining any applicable withholding Taxes to be
withheld (based on appropriate documentation, including IRS Forms W-9 and W-8BEN) and making all
appropriate arrangements for the prepayment or repayment thereof on the Closing Date, and all such
Company Debt shall be reflected in the Spreadsheet.
6.7 Termination of Plans. Each of the Company and any ERISA Affiliate shall have
terminated, effective as of no later than immediately preceding the Closing, any and all Tax
qualified group severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements and
any and all Company Employee Plans (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company no later
than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date that such plans shall not be terminated). The
Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plan(s) have been terminated
(effective as of no later than immediately preceding the Closing) pursuant to resolutions of the
Board of Directors of the Company, or such ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be. The form and
substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company also shall take such other actions in
furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. In the
event that termination of Company Employee Plans would reasonably be anticipated to trigger
liquidation charges, surrender charges or other costs or fees, including without limitation,
related to any plan termination, then such charges and/or fees shall be deemed to be Transaction
Expenses, and the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the
amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent.
6.8 Intentionally Omitted.
6.9 New Employment Arrangements. Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent may offer certain
Employees, and will offer the Key Employees, employment by Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent as a
Continuing Employee. Such employment will: (i) be set forth in an offer letter in Parent’s or the
relevant Subsidiary’s standard form, (ii) be subject to and in compliance with Parent’s and the
relevant Subsidiary’s applicable policies and procedures, including employment background checks
and the execution of Parent’s employee proprietary information agreement, (iii) have terms,
including the position and salary, which will be determined by Parent, (iv) require, as a condition
of employment, that Employees who hold security clearances with United States governmental agencies
maintain and continue to hold such security clearances, (v) include, if applicable, a waiver by the
Employee of any future equity-based compensation or future severance or other termination payment
to which such Employee may otherwise have been eligible with the Company, and (v) supersede any
prior express or implied employment agreements, arrangements, representations, or offer letter in
effect prior to the Closing Date.
6.10 New Employment Benefits. Continuing Employees shall be eligible to receive
employee benefits on the same basis as similarly situated Parent employees consistent with
Parent’s/its relevant Affiliate’s applicable human resources policies and subject to the terms of
Parent’s/its relevant Affiliate’s employee benefit plans. Parent will or will cause the Surviving
Corporation or appropriate Subsidiary of Parent to give Continuing Employees full credit under such
policies for prior service at the Company for purposes of eligibility and vesting; provided that
such credit does not result in duplication of benefits. In furtherance of the foregoing, the
Company shall assist to terminate effective as of the Closing Date all employment agreements and
other arrangements with its employees and contractors as required by Parent.
64
6.11 Terminating Employees. The Company shall terminate the employment of each
Terminating Employee set forth on Schedule 6.11 hereto no later than immediately prior to
or on the Closing Date. The Company shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
each such Terminating Employee to execute and return a valid release and waiver each in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H (a “Terminating Employee Release”), copies of which
Terminating Employee Releases shall have been distributed by the Company to all Terminating
Employees on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, and, if applicable, the Company shall not
affirmatively and knowingly take any action to cause such Terminating Employee to revoke his or her
Terminating Employee Release. Prior to any Terminating Employee or any employee of the Company
whose employment with the Company is terminated on or prior to the Closing Date receiving or
becoming entitled to receive any non-statutorily required severance payment, such Terminating
Employee and such terminated employee must execute and return a Terminating Employee Release.
6.12 Non-Competition Agreements. Concurrent with execution of this Agreement, the
Company shall cause those Key Employees set forth on Exhibit A hereto to execute and
deliver to Parent a Non-Competition Agreement in their capacities as Company Stockholders.
6.13 Section 280G. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have submitted to the
Company Stockholders for approval (in a manner, at such times, and in form and substance
satisfactory to Parent) by such number of Company Stockholders as is required by the terms of
Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, any payments and/or benefits that would separately or in the
aggregate, constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder) (which determination shall be made by the Company, subject to
review and approval by Parent), such that such payments and benefits shall not be deemed to be
“parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, and prior to the Effective Time the Company
shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent (i) that a Company Stockholder
vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and
the requisite Company Stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or
benefits that were subject to the Company Stockholder vote (the “280G Approval”), or (ii) that the
280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such “parachute payments” shall not be
made or provided, pursuant to the waivers of those payments and/or benefits which were executed by
the affected individuals prior to the date of this Agreement.
6.14 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation
to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of Company pursuant to any indemnification
provision under the Charter Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement. From the
Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the
Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of Company pursuant to
any indemnification agreement listed on Section 6.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule in
effect between the Company and any Person who is or was a director or officer of the Company prior
to the Effective Time. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation
will contain provisions with respect to the exculpation and indemnification and expense advancement
that are substantially the same as were in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time for
the Company, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any material
respect in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of each current and former
director or officer of the Company or the Subsidiaries until the earlier of (i) six (6) years from
the Effective Time and (ii) such dates as the Surviving Corporation is dissolved or merged into
another corporation in which case the majority stockholder or surviving corporation in such merger,
respectively, shall assume the indemnification obligations in the first sentence above.
65
(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company may purchase, for the benefit of all officers and
directors of the Company prior to the Effective Time, policies of directors and officers’ and
fiduciary liability “tail” or “run-off” insurance providing for such coverage as the Company may
determine in its sole discretion prior to the Closing; provided, however, that any costs and
expenses related thereto shall be considered a Transaction Expense.
(c) The provisions of this Section 6.14 are intended to be for the benefit of, and
will be enforceable by, each current and former directors or officers of the Company or the
Subsidiaries entitled to indemnification from the Company.
6.15 No Solicitation by Company.
(a) Commencing upon the date hereof and continuing at all times until the earlier of the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VIII and the Effective Time, the Company
shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly through any of its
directors, officers or other employees, affiliates, representatives or other agents (including its
financial, legal or accounting advisors (together, “Representatives”), (i) solicit, initiate, seek,
knowingly encourage, knowingly promote or support any inquiry, proposal or offer from, (ii) furnish
any information to, or (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any Person (other
than Parent and its Representatives) regarding (A) any acquisition of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or controlled affiliates, (B) any merger or consolidation with or involving the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled affiliates, (C) any acquisition or sale (including
any public offering) of any of the stock or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
controlled affiliates (other than the sale of assets in the ordinary course of business), (D) any
strategic investment in or involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates
(including, without limitation, any new investment round or recapitalization of the Company), or
(E) any other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled
affiliates (each, a “Company Acquisition Proposal”). The Company hereby agrees that any action taken by one or
more of the Company’s Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives would constitute a breach of
this Section 6.15(a) if taken by the Company will constitute a breach of this provision by
the Company.
(b) The Company shall immediately terminate, suspend or otherwise discontinue any and all
discussions or other negotiations with any Persons regarding any Company Acquisition Proposal that
are pending as of the date hereof, and shall not reinitiate or otherwise engage in any further
discussions or other negotiations with any such Third Parties regarding any Company Acquisition
Proposal unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to ARTICLE VIII. The Company agrees
not to release any such parties from any confidentiality agreement to which Company is a party.
(c) At all times until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
ARTICLE VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall immediately notify Parent of any
contact with, or receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives from, any third Person
regarding (i) any offer, proposal or inquiry regarding a Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any
request from any third Person for information or access to the properties, books or records of the
Company or its Subsidiaries under circumstances that would be reasonably likely to lead to a
Company Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any other communication from any third Person that would be
reasonably likely to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal. Any such notice delivered by the
Company to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.15(c) shall be in writing and include (A) the
identity of the Person making such offer, proposal or inquiry, request for information or access,
or otherwise communicating with the Company, and (B) a copy of any material written correspondence
(electronic or otherwise) or other documents and materials, and a summary of the terms and
conditions of such offer, proposal or inquiry, request for information or access or other
communication (to the extent not reflected in written correspondence or other documents or
materials delivered to Parent pursuant hereto).
66
6.16 Form S-8. Parent will (a) cause the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the assumed Unvested Company Options for which a Form S-8 registration statement is available to
be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 (assuming timely receipt
of the Spreadsheet, all option documentation directly related to the Unvested Company Options
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and all signatures, opinions and consents
required for such registration statement), within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing
Date, (b) exercise such efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement as
Parent exercises with its other registration statements on Form S-8 for so long as such assumed
Unvested Company Options remain outstanding, and (c) reserve a sufficient number of shares of
Parent Common Stock for issuance upon exercise thereof. The Company and its counsel shall

7.2(a)(i) for Losses arising out of, in connection with or related to any inaccuracy in or
breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.14 (Intellectual Property)

indemnification from the Escrow Fund made by Parent Indemnified Parties), each Indemnifying Party
shall be liable for such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the amount of any Losses resulting therefrom
not to exceed in the aggregate from all Indemnifying Parties the difference between (A) the Special
Cap 1 and (B) any amount placed in the Escrow Fund at the Closing and (y) with respect to Losses
arising out of, or in connection with claims made during the Special Cap 2 Period for any
inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.14

all amounts in the Escrow Fund (after taking into account all claims for indemnification from the
Escrow Fund made by Parent Indemnified Parties), each Indemnifying Party shall be liable for such
holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the amount of any Losses resulting therefrom not to exceed in the

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Parent Indemnified Party may
not recover any Losses under Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than Losses arising out of, in
connection with or resulting from a breach or inaccuracy of the Specified Representations) unless
and until all claims brought by the Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(i) exceed
$350,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), at which time the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be
entitled to recover all such Losses in excess of the Deductible. For purposes of clarity, the
Deductible shall not apply to, or be counted against, any claim by a Parent Indemnified Parties for
Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) arising out of, in connection with or resulting from a
breach or inaccuracy of the Specified Representations or Section 4.21 (Brokers’ and
Finders’ Fees; Transaction Expenses), or Section 7.2(a)(ii) thorough Section
7.2(a)(vii).
(c) For purposes of computing the amount of any Losses incurred by a Parent Indemnified Party,
(i) there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds,
indemnification payments or contribution payments actually received by any Parent Indemnified Party
in connection with such Losses; provided, however, that no Parent Indemnified Party shall have any
obligation to obtain or seek any such insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or contribution
payments and (ii) the Indemnifying Parties shall have no liability attributable to any limitations
on the Company’s Tax attributes under Sections 269, 382, 383 or 384 of the Code.

Indemnifying Party seek indemnification or advancement of expenses (under Contract, pursuant to
applicable Law or otherwise) from, the Company, Parent, or the Surviving Corporation with respect
to any Loss claimed by a Parent Indemnified Party, provided, however, that the parties agree that
the provisions set forth in this Section 7.3(d) shall in no way be interpreted to
invalidate, or otherwise impair, the rights of any Company director or officer to seek
indemnification pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 6.14 hereof, other than to the
extent in derogation of such Indemnifying Parties indemnity obligations to the Parent Indemnified
Persons under this ARTICLE VII.
(e) For purposes of this ARTICLE VII, Losses shall not include special or punitive,
damages (except to the extent such damages are awarded by a Governmental Authority in connection
with a Third Party Claim). The amount of any Losses subject to indemnification under this
ARTICLE VII shall be calculated net of any reserves included in the calculation of the
Adjusted Working Capital Amount directly attributable to such Losses.
(f) Notwithstanding anything that may be deemed to be to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, nothing in this ARTICLE VII or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the
Liability of any Person (and neither the Escrow Fund nor the aggregate Merger Consideration and
payments under the Management Acquisition Bonus Plan shall be the exclusive remedy) in respect of
Losses arising out of, nor bar any action against such Person (and nothing herein shall serve as a
defense thereto), in relation to, any fraud committed by such Person in relation to this Agreement,
any Related Agreement, any Closing Certificate or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, provided, however, that there shall not be any double recovery to the extent a claim is
asserted pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(v).
(g) Any payments required to be made to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Parent
Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall, in each case, be made first by resort
to the Indemnification Escrow Amount contained in the Escrow Fund (to the extent that such fund is
available at the time of such claim, and in all cases with respect to matters for which the General
Indemnification Cap applies), and second with respect to matters for which the General
Indemnification Cap does not apply, if the balance of the Indemnification Escrow Amount contained
in the Escrow Fund is insufficient or unavailable to satisfy the entire amount of such payments to
be made to Parent (including as a result of the funds contained in the Escrow Fund being paid to
the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms hereof) (the amount of such insufficiency,
the “Shortfall Amount”), the
70
Surviving Corporation or any other Parent Indemnified Party, as
applicable, and by recourse, (A) for Losses other than arising out of, in connection with or
related to the matters set forth in Section 4.14 (Intellectual Property), severally, to
each Indemnifying Party in an amount equal to such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied
by the Shortfall Amount (which such result shall in no event exceed the portion of the aggregate
Merger Consideration and payments under the Management Acquisition Bonus Plan actually received by
such Indemnifying Party, or (B) in the case of Losses arising out of, in connection with or related
to the matters set forth in Section 4.14 (Intellectual Property), as described in
Section 7.3(a)).
(h) The right to indemnification based on representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations in this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to,
or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Effective Time, with respect to the accuracy or
inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The
waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the
performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to
indemnification based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
(i) The representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement, the Related
Agreements to which the Company is a party or the Closing Certificates, constitute the sole and
exclusive representations and warranties of the Company to Parent in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Parent understands, acknowledges and agrees that
all other representations and warranties of the Company of any kind or nature, express or implied,
are specifically disclaimed by the Company, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be
construed to prohibit or limit a claim for fraud against the Person who committed such fraud as
described in Section 7.3(f) or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(v). If the Merger is
consummated, (i) the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy of the Parent, other Parent Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates,
for any and all claims against the Indemnifying Parties for Losses; provided, however, that this
section shall not limit any right of such Persons to seek and obtain specific performance,
injunctive relief or any other equitable remedies to which they may be entitled under the Related
Agreements to which the Indemnifying Parties are parties, and (ii) all applicable statutes of
limitations or other claims periods with respect to claims hereunder shall be revised to the claims
periods and survival periods expressly set forth herein. Nothing in this ARTICLE VII shall
limit the liability of any party hereto (though excluding the Indemnifying Parties, who shall only
be subject to liability as set forth herein to the extent that the Closing occurs) for any breach
of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, any Related
Agreement or any Closing Certificate or instrument delivered pursuant thereto if the Closing does
not occur.
(j) The right to indemnification based on the matters disclosed on Schedule 7.2(a)(vi)
shall be subject to the limitations set forth on Schedule 7.2(a)(vi).
7.4 Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.
(a) Procedure for Claims.
(i) In the event that a Parent Indemnified Party may have a right to indemnification under
this ARTICLE VII (though with respect to Third-Party Claims, additionally subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b) below), then Parent (on behalf of such
Parent Indemnified Party) shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a certificate (a “Claim
Certificate”) (with contemporaneous delivery to the Escrow Agent) (i) stating that a Parent
Indemnified Party has suffered or incurred, or reasonably anticipates that it may suffer or incur
and/or was required under
71
GAAP to reserve or accrue, Losses, including the amount thereof, and (ii)
specifying in reasonable detail the basis for the claim(s), as well as the individual items of such
Losses included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim relating thereto (which, if not
determinable at such time, may be a reasonable good faith estimate thereof) (the aggregate amount
of such Losses in a Claim Certificate being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”). The
Stockholders’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of
a Claim Certificate to deliver to Parent a certificate (an “Objection Certificate”) (with
contemporaneous delivery to the Escrow Agent), pursuant to which the Stockholders’ Representative
shall, on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties: (A) agree that the Parent Indemnified Party is
entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case, if requested by Parent, Parent and
the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days
following delivery of the Objection Certificate, a written notice executed by both such parties
instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent, out of the Escrow Fund, an amount equal to
the Claimed Amount or the applicable portion thereof as determined by Parent, and, if in whole or
in part against the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly cause to be paid
to Parent an amount equal to the product of (x) such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion,
multiplied by (y) the Claimed Amount (subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE
VII), (B) agree that the Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of
the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case, if requested by Parent, Parent and the
Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days
following delivery of the Objection Certificate, a written notice executed by both such parties
instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent, out of the Escrow Fund, an amount equal to
the Agreed Amount or the applicable portion thereof as determined by Parent, and, if in whole or in
part against the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly cause to be paid to
Parent an amount equal to the product of (x) such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion, multiplied
by (y) the Agreed Amount (subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII)), or
(C) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount and
specify, in reasonable detail based on the information then known, any objections to the claims in
such Claim Certificate or the Claimed Amount. If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver
an Objection Certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Certificate, then the
Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed, for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, to
agree that the Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which
case, if requested by Parent, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to the
Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days following delivery of the Objection Certificate, a
written notice executed by both such parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent,
out of the Escrow Fund, an amount equal to the Claimed Amount or the applicable portion thereof as
determined by Parent, and, if in whole or in part against the Indemnifying Parties, the
Indemnifying Parties shall promptly cause to be paid to Parent an amount equal to the product of
(x) such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion, multiplied by (y) the Claimed Amount (subject to
the applicable limitations contained herein)).
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Section 7.3(g), any
Parent Indemnified Party may make a claim directly against the Indemnifying Parties in respect of
the Shortfall Amount.
(b) Third Party Claims. In the event that Parent becomes aware of a third party claim
(other than a claim that is the subject of an Agreed-Upon Loss) (each, a “Third Party Claim”) which
Parent reasonably believes would result in a demand for indemnification pursuant to this
ARTICLE VII, Parent shall timely notify the Stockholders’ Representative of such claim (the
“Third Party Claim Notice”), and the Stockholders’ Representative shall (A) be entitled on behalf
of the Indemnifying Parties, at its sole option and expense, to participate in, but not to
determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim, and (B) have the right to receive
copies of all pleadings, notices and material communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim
to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege or confidentiality
obligations relating to any Parent Indemnified Party. The failure to so notify the Stockholders’
Representative shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties
72
of any Liability, except to the extent
the Stockholders’ Representative demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim is
actually and
materially prejudiced thereby or if such notice shall have occurred after survival periods set
forth in Section 7.1 with respect to such claims. Parent shall have the right in its sole
discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any Third Party Claim; provided, however, that
except with the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative in writing (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, that the parties agree that the Stockholders’ Representative’s
failure to provide consent based on the amount of Losses, or whether the Indemnifying Parties have
an obligation to indemnify Parent or other Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement,
shall not, in and of itself, be considered unreasonable), no settlement of any such Third Party
Claim shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such matter or whether the Parent
Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto. In the event
that the Stockholders’ Representative has consented in writing to any such settlement, the
Indemnifying Parties shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this
ARTICLE VII to the amount of any claim by Parent against the Escrow Fund with respect to
such settlement. Neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor any Indemnifying Party may settle or
compromise any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the relevant Parent
Indemnified Party(ies) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
withhold its consent, in its sole discretion, to any proposed settlement or compromise that (i)
does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases such Parent
Indemnified Party from all Liabilities with respect thereto, (ii) would obligate such Parent
Indemnified Party to pay an amount related thereto in excess of the amount then available for
indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII or (iii) would reasonably be expected to have
an adverse impact on the reputation (business or otherwise) of Parent or any of its Affiliates.
(c) Resolution of Conflicts.
(i) In case the Stockholders’ Representative shall timely deliver an Objection Certificate
(including in the case of Third Party Claims that are not ultimately resolved between Parent and
the Stockholders’ Representative), then for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of such
Objection Certificate, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to
agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims objected to in
the Objection Certificate. Either party may, but shall not be obligated to, initiate non binding
mediation of the dispute with the assistance of a neutral arbitrator belonging to and under the
rules of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. The party requesting the mediation shall
arrange for mediation services, subject to the approval of the other party, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Mediation shall take place in Santa Xxxxx County, California during
reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance written notice. Mediation may be scheduled
to begin at any time, but with at least ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to all parties. If
one party initiates mediation, the parties (A) shall participate in the mediation in good faith and
shall commit reasonable time and energy to the mediation so as to promptly resolve the dispute or
conclude that they cannot resolve the dispute and (B) shall not pursue other remedies while such
mediation is proceeding. If the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent should so agree (whether
by mediation or otherwise), a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed
by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the
Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent, out of the Escrow Fund, an
amount equal to the Losses so agreed or the applicable portion thereof as determined by Parent.
(ii) Should Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative be unable to agree as to any
particular item or items or amount or amounts specified in an Objection Certificate within the time
periods specified in Section 7.4(c)(i), then the Parent Indemnified Party shall be
permitted to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with
Section 9.6. Upon resolution of such
dispute, or receipt of a final non-appealable order or determination from a court of competent
jurisdiction
73
setting forth the resolution of such dispute, then, if requested by Parent, Parent and
the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days
following such resolution or receipt, a written notice executed by both such parties instructing
the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent, out of the Escrow Fund, an amount equal to the Losses so
determined or the applicable portion thereof as determined by Parent, and, if in whole or in part
against the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall promptly cause to be paid, as
applicable, by wire transfer to Parent an amount equal to the product of (x) such Indemnifying
Party’s Pro Rata Portion, multiplied by (y) the Losses determined in such resolution or so ordered
to be paid, if any (subject to the applicable limitations contained herein). The Escrow Agent
shall be entitled to rely on any such final non-appealable order or determination from a court of
competent jurisdiction and distribute cash from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms
thereof.
(d) Agreed Upon Losses. Section 7.4(c) shall not apply to claims made in
respect of (A) any Additional Transaction Expenses, Company indebtedness for borrowed money
(including the principal, interest and premium (if any)) that is not reflected in the Spreadsheet
or contractual Additional Change-in-Control Payments, or (B) any Agent Interpleader Expenses or
Agent Indemnification Expenses (each of (A) and (B), an “Agreed Upon Loss”). Notwithstanding
Section 7.4(a), the Stockholders’ Representative hereby waives the right to object to any
claims against the Escrow Fund or otherwise in respect of any Agreed Upon Loss.
(e) Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Parent shall be
responsible for the preparation and filing of any Return with respect to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that is required to be filed after the Closing Date (as well as the related costs of
the preparation thereof, except to the extent such costs are otherwise determined to be
indemnifiable Losses), including any amended or previously unfiled Return relating to any period
filed in order to comply with applicable Law; provided, however, that Parent shall permit the
Stockholders’ Representative (and any other tax or legal advisor to the Stockholders’
Representative, at the reasonable discretion of Stockholders’ Representative whom Stockholders’
Representative may engage to review such Return) to review and comment on each such material Return
prior to such filing. Not less than thirty (30) days before the earlier of the due date of any
such Return or the date on which such material Return is to be filed, Parent shall furnish a draft
of such Return (as proposed to be filed) to Stockholders’ Representative for his review. Not less
than twenty (20) days before the earlier of the due date of such Return or the date on which such
Return is to be filed, Stockholders’ Representative shall forward to Parent any comments it may
have relating to such Return, and Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall agree to
resolve in good faith any disputes regarding such Return prior to the due date or the date such
Return is intended to be filed by Parent. Any dispute regarding such Return that cannot be
resolved by negotiation between Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be resolved by
the Independent Auditor no later than the day that is five (5) Business Days prior to the due date
of such Return (provided, that, if such dispute has not been resolve prior to such day, Parent will
exercise its good faith judgment with respect to the contents of such Return); provided, however,
that in resolving a dispute with respect to a Return, the Independent Auditor shall be bound by the
requirement that the Return be prepared in a manner consistent with past reporting practices of the
Company or the applicable Subsidiary unless otherwise required in accordance with applicable Law
(it being understood that a position taken on a Return is in accordance with applicable Law to the
extent the position is determined to be more likely than not to be sustained). Each of the parties
also agrees to the additional procedures set forth in Schedule 7.2(a)(vi).
7.5 Escrow Arrangements.
(a) Escrow. From and after the Closing, the Indemnifying Parties agree that, subject
to the other provisions of this ARTICLE VII, the Escrow Fund shall be available to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties from and against any and all
Losses in respect of which
74
such Parent Indemnified Parties may be indemnified, defended or held
harmless under this ARTICLE VII; provided, however, that the Working Capital Escrow Amount
shall only be available to compensate the Parent Indemnified Parties for any overstatement in the
Merger Consideration as set forth in Section 6.5 (which the parties agree shall be the
first source of recourse for any such overstatement). The Escrow Agent may execute this Agreement
following the date hereof and prior to the Closing, and such later execution, if so executed after
the date hereof, shall not affect the binding nature of this Agreement as of the date hereof
between the other signatories hereto.
(b) Satisfaction of Claims. Recovery against the Indemnification Escrow Amount
contained in the Escrow Fund shall be the Parent Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for
indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i), except in the case of Losses arising out of
or resulting from a breach or inaccuracy of the Specified Representations, or to which the General
Indemnification Cap does not otherwise apply. The Indemnifying Parties shall, and do hereby,
pledge and grant a security interest in the Escrow Fund.
(c) Escrow Period; Distribution Upon Termination of Escrow Period. Subject to the
following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective
Time. Fifty percent (50%) of the amount held in the Escrow Fund on the date that is the one (1)
year anniversary of the Closing Date (less any amount which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent,
is necessary to satisfy any unresolved claims specified in any Claim Certificate that is delivered
to the Stockholders’ Representative prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific on the one (1) year anniversary of
the Closing Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific
on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date), shall be released from the Escrow Fund no
later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the one (1) year
anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Escrow Release”). Any amounts remaining in the Escrow
Fund on the date that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date shall be released from the
Escrow Fund at 5:00 p.m., Pacific time as soon as commercially practicable and in no event later
than the fifth (5th) Business Day after such date (less any amount which, in the reasonable
judgment of Parent, is necessary to satisfy any unresolved claims specified in any Claim
Certificate that is delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific on the date that is
eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing on or
prior to such date); provided, however, that the Escrow Fund with respect to the Working Capital
Escrow Amount shall terminate in accordance with Section 6.5. Following the termination of
the Escrow Fund with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Escrow Agent shall deliver
to each of the Indemnifying Parties such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion (if any) of the
remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy any then pending claims against the
Escrow Fund and shall deliver to each of the Indemnifying Parties such Indemnifying Party’s Pro
Rata Portion (if any) of the remaining portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, if any,
following resolution of all such claims. In the event that it is determined that the Adjusted
Working Capital Amount shall have been understated in the original calculation of the Merger
Consideration for purposes of the payments made to the Indemnifying Parties at the Closing, or
overstated in an amount that is less than the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the Escrow Agent shall
deliver to each Indemnifying Party such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion (if any) of the
remaining portion of the Working Capital Escrow Amount not required to satisfy any overstatement
pursuant to Section 6.5 as soon as commercially practicable following resolution by
Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount.
(d) Protection of Escrow Fund.
(i) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund, shall treat such fund as a
trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow
Fund only in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE VII.
75
(ii) The Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be invested in U.S. Treasury bills with
maturities of not more than ninety (90) days and any interest paid on such Escrow Amount shall be
added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof. For any period of time before such U.S.
Treasury bills can be purchased by the Escrow Agent, after such bills mature, or in the event the
Treasury Bills are yielding a negative return, the Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be invested
in a U.S. Bank money market deposit account of the Escrow Agent, as described on Schedule
7.5(d)(ii) hereto, and any interest paid on such Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be added
to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof and available for satisfaction of claims or otherwise
distributed to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with the terms hereof. Such interest will be
treated for income tax purposes as earned by Parent, paid to the Indemnifying Parties as interest
for the deferral of a portion of the Merger Consideration and payments under the Management
Acquisition Bonus Plan and then contributed by the Indemnifying Parties to the Escrow Fund.
(e) Escrow Agent’s Duties.
(i) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are
specifically set forth herein and as set forth in any additional written escrow instructions that
the Escrow Agent may receive after the date of this Agreement that are signed by an officer of
Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, and may rely and shall be protected in relying or
refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done
or omitted hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable
judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive
evidence of such good faith.
(ii) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given
by any of the parties hereto or by any other person, excepting only orders or process of courts of
law, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any
court. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any
court, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person by
reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently
reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without
jurisdiction.
(iii) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity,
authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this
Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.
(iv) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute
of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.
(v) In performing any duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any
party for damages, losses or expenses, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of the Escrow Agent. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Escrow Agent shall not incur any
such liability for (A) any act or failure to act made or omitted in good faith or (B) any action
taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement of affidavit
provided for in this Agreement that the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, nor
will the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible for forgeries, fraud, impersonations, or determining
the scope of any representative authority. In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with legal
counsel in connection with performing the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and shall be
fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by him/her in good faith in accordance
with the advice of counsel. The
76
Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining and verifying the
authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement.
(vi) If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party,
concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not
be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent may
hold all documents and the Indemnification Escrow Amount and may wait for settlement of any such
controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s
discretion, may be required, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. In such
event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may at its
option, file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and
rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all
documents and the Escrow Amounts held in escrow, except all costs, expenses, charges and reasonable
attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action (the “Agent Interpleader
Expenses”) and which the parties agree to pay as follows: 50% to be paid to Parent and 50% to be
paid by the Indemnifying Parties on the basis of the such Persons’ respective Pro Rata Portions
(though in all cases, first from the Escrow Fund, to the extent not otherwise exhausted). Upon
initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all
obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.
(vii) The parties and their respective successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to
indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, including allocated costs
of in house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow
Agent in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including but not
limited to any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter, other than
those arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent (the “Agent
Indemnification Expenses”) as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the
Indemnifying Parties on the basis of such Persons’ respective Pro Rata Portions (though in all
cases, first from the Escrow Fund, to the extent not otherwise exhausted); provided, however, that
in the event any Person fails to timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Agent
Indemnification Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Person’s Pro
Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses and recover an equal amount (which shall be
deemed an Agreed Upon Loss) from such Person’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund.
(viii) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least thirty (30) days written
notice to the Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative; provided, however, that no such
resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent which shall be
accomplished as follows: Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to mutually agree on a successor escrow agent within thirty (30) days after
receiving
such notice. If the parties fail to agree upon a successor escrow agent within such time, the
Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor escrow agent authorized to do business in
the State of California. The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument
accepting such appointment and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as
escrow agent. Upon appointment of a successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged
from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.
(f) Fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent
for general administration and performance of its duties hereunder shall be paid by Parent in
accordance with the standard fee schedule of the Escrow Agent. It is understood that the fees and
usual charges agreed upon for services of the Escrow Agent shall be considered compensation for
ordinary services as
77
contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the conditions of this
Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, or if the Escrow Agent renders any service not provided for
in this Agreement, or if the parties request a substantial modification of its terms, or if any
controversy arises, or if the Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation
pertaining to the Escrow Fund or its subject matter, the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably
compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs, attorney’s fees,
including allocated costs of in house counsel, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay,
controversy or litigation.
(g) Successor Escrow Agents. Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent in its
individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent in its
individual capacity shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate
trust business of the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall be the
Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.
7.6 Stockholders’ Representative.
(a) The Indemnifying Parties, by adopting this Agreement and/or approving the transactions
contemplated hereby, by receiving the applicable portions of the Merger Consideration pursuant to
this Agreement and/or by receiving a payment pursuant to the Management Acquisition Bonus Plan,
irrevocably appoint the Stockholders’ Representative as their agent and attorney-in-fact to act on
behalf of each of the Indemnifying Parties, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall include the power and authority:
(i) for the purposes of ARTICLE VII, to give and receive notices and communications,
to authorize delivery to any Parent Indemnified Party of cash from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction
of claims by a Parent Indemnified Party, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and
compromises of, and bring suit and comply with orders and awards of courts with respect to such
claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’
Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.
(ii) to execute and deliver such waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as the Stockholders’
Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable;
(iii) to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Company Stockholders and to
enforce and protect the rights and interests of all Indemnifying Parties arising out of or under or
in any manner relating to this Agreement, and any other document contemplated hereby, and to take
any and all actions which the Stockholders’ Representative believes are necessary or appropriate
under this Agreement for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties;
(iv) to refrain from enforcing any right of the Indemnifying Parties or any of them and/or the
Stockholders’ Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement or
any document contemplated hereby; provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the
Stockholders’ Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be deemed a
waiver of any such right or interest by the Stockholders’ Representative or by the Indemnifying
Parties unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Stockholders’
Representative; and
(v) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders,
receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers,
78
letters and
other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the
Stockholders’ Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper
or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and all other documents contemplated hereby.
(b) The Stockholders’ Representative may resign upon written notice to the Surviving
Corporation, with or without cause, and the holders of a majority interest of the Indemnity Escrow
Amount shall appoint a successor. Additionally, the Stockholders’ Representative may be changed by
the Indemnifying Parties upon 10 days’ prior written notice to Parent, signed by a majority in
interest of the Indemnity Escrow Amount. The outgoing Stockholders’ Representative shall be
entitled to immediate reimbursement of all Stockholders’ Representative Expenses pursuant to
Section 7.6(f) (with any balance in the Stockholders’ Representative Fund to inure to the
benefit of the succeeding Stockholders’ Representative, and with any remaining balance to be paid
to the Indemnifying Parties based on their Pro Rata Portion, as described in Section
7.6(f)), and in all cases subject to the terms of this Section 7.6. The successor
shall be entitled to all the rights, powers, immunities and privileges as was his or her
predecessor, without the need of any further act or writing. No bond shall be required of the
Stockholders’ Representative, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall not receive compensation
for his or her services. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholders’ Representative
shall constitute notice to or from each of the Indemnifying Parties.
(c) The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder
as Stockholders’ Representative, whether or not in reliance upon any notice, direction,
instruction, consent, statement or other document, except to the extent arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholders’ Representative (and any action taken or
omitted to be taken upon the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct).
(d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative with respect
to the matters regarding the Escrow Fund contemplated by this Section 7.6 shall constitute
a decision of all of the Company Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive, and the
Parent Indemnified Parties may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the
Stockholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each
Indemnifying Party. The Parent
Indemnified Parties are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by
them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’
Representative.
(e) Parent and Sub, on behalf of all Parent Indemnified Parties, hereby agree that any notice,
right, or obligation required to be delivered to, performed by, or asserted by the Indemnifying
Parties regarding the Escrow Fund shall be delivered to, performed by or asserted by the
Stockholders’ Representative.
(f) Each of the Indemnifying Parties, by adopting this Agreement and/or approving the
transactions contemplated hereby, by receiving the applicable portions of the Merger Consideration
pursuant to this Agreement and/or by receiving a payment pursuant to the Management Acquisition
Bonus Plan, agrees to release and hold harmless, and indemnify, each Person who acts as
Stockholders’ Representative with respect to all actions, decisions, elections or other
determinations made by such Persons in the performance of their duties as the Stockholders’
Representative, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
such Person (and any action taken or omitted to be taken upon the advice of counsel shall be
conclusive evidence of the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct). Such indemnity
shall be paid first from the Stockholders’ Representative Fund to the extent then available, and
thereafter directly from the Indemnifying Parties on a several and not joint basis. The
availability of indemnity for Persons who act as the Stockholders’ Representative shall be
79
subject
to the same privileges as contemplated for directors of a Delaware corporation under DGCL Section
145; provided, that solely the Indemnifying Parties (and not the Parent, Company nor any other
their affiliates) shall be liable therefor. In addition, each Indemnifying Party agrees that the
costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in the performance of his or her
duties hereunder (such costs and expenses, the “Stockholders’ Representative Expenses”) shall be
paid for and be the responsibility of the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with their Pro Rata
Portions. Within one (1) Business Day after the Closing, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholders’
Representative an amount in cash equal to $250,000 (the “Stockholder Representative Fund Amount”)
from the portion of the Merger Consideration and payments under the Management Bonus Plan payable
to the Indemnifying Parties at Closing in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, to an
account specified by the Stockholders’ Representative on or prior to Closing Date as the fund for
reimbursement of Stockholders’ Representative Expenses (the “Stockholders’ Representative Fund”).
Any balance of the Stockholders’ Representative Fund not used for such reimbursement by the
Stockholders’ Representative or its successor(s), shall be returned by the Stockholders’
Representative to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with their Pro Rata Portions, at such time
as the Stockholders’ Representative reasonably determines in his sole discretion that such a
balance is no longer needed to carry out the duties of the Stockholders’ Representative hereunder.
All Stockholders’ Representative Expenses shall be paid first from the Stockholders’ Representative
Fund, to the extent then available, and thereafter directly from the Indemnifying Parties on a
several and not joint basis. Without limiting the right of the Stockholders’ Representative to
such reimbursement or such indemnity from the Stockholders’ Representative Fund or directly from
the Indemnifying Parties, following the date on which the Escrow Fund is finally released to the
Indemnifying Parties and the satisfaction or resolution of all claims made by Parent Indemnified
Parties for Losses, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to recover any Stockholders’ Representative Expenses not covered by the Stockholders’
Representative Fund from the Escrow Fund prior to any distribution to the Indemnifying Parties and
prior to any such distribution, shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate setting forth the
Stockholders’ Representative Expenses actually incurred, but not to the extent covered by the
Stockholders’ Representative Fund.
(g) The parties agree that the Stockholders’ Representative shall have reasonable access,
during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to information about the Company (as
the Surviving Corporation) and Parent and the reasonable assistance of the Company’s (as the
Surviving Corporation) and Parent’s officers and employees to the extent required solely for
purposes of performing his or her duties and exercising his or her rights under this Agreement upon
execution of a non-disclosure agreement under which the Stockholders’ Representative agrees to
treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about the Company (as the
Surviving Corporation), Parent or their Affiliates to anyone (except on a need to know basis to
individuals (identified to the company and Parent in writing in advance) who agree in writing to
treat such information confidentially) or use such information for any other purpose.

8.1 Termination. Subject to Section 8.2 hereof, this Agreement may be terminated

and delivered to the Parent within five (5) hours after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Company;

(c) by Parent, if there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Effect between the execution
of this Agreement by the parties hereto and the Effective Time; or
(d) by Parent if there shall be (i) a final non-appealable order of a federal or state court
in effect preventing consummation of the Merger, or (ii) any statute, rule, regulation or order
enacted, promulgated or issues or deemed applicable to the Closing by any Governmental Authority
that would make consummation of the Closing illegal.
8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided
in Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no
liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Sub or the Company, or their respective officers,
directors or stockholders, if applicable; provided, however, that each party hereto (though for
purposes of clarity, excluding the Indemnifying Parties) shall remain liable for any breaches of
this Agreement, any Related Agreements or any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to
this Agreement prior to its termination; and provided further, however, that, the provisions of
Section 6.1 (Confidentiality), Section 6.2 (Public Disclosure), Section 6.3
(Expenses) hereof, Section 7.2(b) (Limitations on Indemnification), ARTICLE IX
(General Provisions) (other than Section 9.7 (Enforcement)) hereof and this Section
8.2 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement
pursuant to the terms of this ARTICLE VIII.
8.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by
execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom enforcement is
sought. For purposes of this Section 8.3, the Indemnifying Parties agree that any
amendment of this Agreement signed by the Stockholder Representative shall be binding upon and
effective against the Indemnifying Party whether or not they have signed such amendment.
8.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Parent, on the one hand, and
the Company and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, may, to the extent legally
allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party
hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party
contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any
of the covenants, agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any
agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set
forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. For purposes of this Section
8.4, the Indemnifying Parties agree that any extension or waiver signed by the Stockholder
Representative shall be binding upon and effective against all Indemnifying Parties whether or not
they have signed such extension or waiver.

9.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of
which together shall constitute one instrument. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of
this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto and delivered by such party by
facsimile or any similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on
behalf of such party can be seen. Such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding
and effective for all purposes. At the request of any party hereto, all parties hereto agree to
execute and deliver an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other
reproduction hereof.
9.3 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the exhibits hereto, the Disclosure
Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Related Agreements and the documents and instruments
and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein: (a) constitute the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, (b) are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies
hereunder (other than Section 6.14, for which the Company’s directors and officers shall be
considered third party beneficiaries from and after the Closing), and (c) shall not be assigned by
operation of Law or otherwise, except that Parent and Sub may assign their rights and delegate
their obligations hereunder to their Affiliates as long as Parent remains ultimately liable for all
of Parent’s and Sub’s obligations hereunder.
9.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and
the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as
reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such
void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will
achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or
unenforceable provision.
9.5 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any and all remedies herein
expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other
remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any
one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
9.6 Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that
might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Subject to
ARTICLE VII
83
hereof, each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of any court within Santa Xxxxx County, State of California, in connection
with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein,
agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of
California for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which
they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process. Subject to ARTICLE
VII hereof, each party agrees not to commence any legal proceedings related hereto except in
such courts.
9.7 Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that the other party will be
irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any party
of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, including the confidentiality
obligations set forth in Section 6.1. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any
other remedies that may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements, each
party hereto shall have the right to injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach
of, or otherwise to obtain specific performance of, the other party’s covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement.
9.8 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented
by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the
application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in
an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or
document.
9.9 USA Patriot Act Compliance. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism
and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual
person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other
legal entity the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence
as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses,
identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the
entity or other relevant documentation. The parties hereto each agree to provide all such
information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance
with federal law.
