                    9.12          Tax Filings.  Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such filings (“Tax Filings”) with appropriate federal, state and local Governmental Bodies as are required or permitted by applicable law in the jurisdictions where the Spas are located to determine the liability, if any, of Seller or the P.C.s for federal, state and local income, sales, use, property or leasing tax attributable to the Spa Business for periods prior to the Closing.  Seller shall pay all income, sales, use and leasing taxes (“Pre-Closing Taxes”) due from or payable by any Person as a result of the Tax Filings (except to the extent such Taxes are being contested in good faith), and such Pre-Closing Taxes shall not be deemed to be Contributed Liabilities for purposes of the Contribution Agreement.  From and after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to permit Seller to have reasonable access to the facilities, books and records of the Spa Business to permit it to prepare the Tax Filings and to defend against any claims that the Tax Filings were not correct.  Seller agrees to promptly prepare and file its fiscal 2005 federal and state income tax returns and to promptly pay when due Taxes owed thereunder except to the extent such Taxes are being contested in good faith.

35



                    9.13          Repayment Obligations.  To the extent the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will give rise to any repayment obligation or acceleration of any such obligation under any Contract of Seller or its affiliates governing the terms of Seller’s or such affiliates’ indebtedness for borrowed money, Seller shall, or shall cause its affiliates to, satisfy such obligations in accordance with the terms thereof.

                    9.14          Sales and Other Taxes on the Contemplated Transactions.  In view of the possibility that the tax returns of Seller for period up to and including the Closing Date may ignore the separate existence of the Company, (a) Seller shall be responsible to pay, and shall promptly report and pay, any and all sales and other taxes payable in any jurisdiction on the transfer of any taxable property or otherwise pursuant to or arising from the Contemplated Transactions (except to the extent such Taxes are being contested in good faith);  and (b) Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Company from and against any and all use taxes or successor liability for sales, property or other taxes, together with any and all interest and penalties thereon, arising from or on account of the Contemplated Transactions, but not arising from or on account of the operation of the Spa Business after the Closing.

ARTICLE X.
INDEMNIFICATION;  REMEDIES

                    10.1          Survival.  All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule (as supplemented by any updates to the Disclosure Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 6.5) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions for a period of (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements may be asserted at any time before the date which shall be) twelve (12) months following the Closing.

                    10.2          Indemnification and Reimbursement by Seller.  Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates, officers, directors, members, agents and each of their respective heirs, successors, assigns and executors (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), and will reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Persons for any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses but excluding any consequential, punitive or incidental damages) whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Damages”), arising from or in connection with (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (as the same are modified by the Disclosure Schedule and any updates thereto delivered pursuant to Section 6.5), (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller in this Agreement, (c) any brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding made, or alleged to have been made, by any Person with Seller (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions, (d) any noncompliance with any fraudulent transfer law in respect of the Contemplated Transactions or (e) any Liabilities relating to or arising from the operation of Spa Business prior to the Closing Date other than Contributed Liabilities (as such term is defined in the Contribution Agreement).

36



                    10.3          Indemnification and Reimbursement by Buyer.  Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, agents and each of their respective heirs, successors, assigns and executors (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”), and will reimburse the Seller Indemnified Persons for any Damages, arising from or in connection with (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement, (c) any brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding made, or alleged to have been made, by any Person with Buyer (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions, or (d) any Contributed Liabilities (as such term is defined in the Contribution Agreement) or Liabilities related to or arising from the operation of the Company or the Spa Business from and after the Closing Date.

                    10.4          Limitations on Amount.

                                     (a)          Except for any taxes payable by Seller (including taxes reported by Seller on a return consolidating Seller’s and the Company’s operations, sales or other activity on which taxes are due and payable) and sought to be imposed on Buyer or Company, and subject to Section 10.4(c), Seller shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under Section 10.2 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed such amount.

                                     (b)          Subject to Section 10.4(c), Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under Section 10.3 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed such amount. 

                                     (c)          In no event shall any party have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for money damages in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

                                     (d)          Claims for indemnification with respect to (i) fraud, intentional misrepresentation, knowledge of a deliberate or willful breach of any representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, (ii) any Liability to a Third Party based on a misappropriation or infringement of the proprietary rights of persons other than Seller, Buyer, Company or Licensors or Licensee under the Spa License Agreement directly resulting from a breach of any representation and warranty of Seller in this Agreement, (iii) clause 10.2(e) or (iv) clause 10.3(d) shall not be subject to any of the limitations set forth in this Section 10.4.

                                     (e)          This Article X shall be the sole remedy at law of the parties with respect to monetary damages (except as provided in Section 8.2(b));  provided, however, nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of the parties to seek any equitable relief to which they may be entitled.

37



                    10.5          Third-Party Claims.

                                     (a)          Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 10.2 or 10.3 (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.

                                     (b)          If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 10.5(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.  After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this ARTICLE X for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person and (ii) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected without its consent.  If the Indemnified Person does not elect to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will have no indemnification obligations with respect to any compromise or settlement of a Third Party Claim effected by the Indemnified Person without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided, that such consent may be withheld unless such settlement or compromise includes a complete, unconditional release with respect to such Third Party Claim.

                                     (c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent.

38



                                     (d)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.4, Seller hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Buyer Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Buyer Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on Seller with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world;  provided, however, that such jurisdiction shall not have arisen solely out of such Buyer Indemnified Person’s consent thereto, or failure to object to jurisdiction over such Buyer Indemnified Person.

                                     (e)          With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE X:  (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

                                     (f)          With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE X, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that:  (i) it will use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure) and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

                    10.6          Other Claims.  A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

                    10.7          Insurance Proceeds.  To the extent that any Damage is covered by insurance held by any Indemnified Person, or for which any such party is a beneficiary, such Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE X only with respect to the amount of Damages that are in excess of the proceeds received by such Indemnified Person pursuant to such insurance.  If such Indemnified Person receives such insurance proceeds prior to the time a claim hereunder is paid, then the amount payable by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to such claim shall be reduced by the amount of such insurance proceeds.  If such Indemnified Person receives such insurance proceeds after such claim is paid, then upon receipt by such Indemnified Person of any cash proceeds pursuant to such insurance up to the amount of the Damages incurred by such Indemnified Person with respect to such claim, such Indemnified Person shall repay to the applicable Indemnifying Person any portion of such amount which was previously paid to such Indemnified Person in satisfaction of such claim.  In addition, any Damages incurred by any Indemnified Person under this ARTICLE X will be reduced by and shall be exclusive of any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Person pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any third party.  If the event that results in such Damages is or may be covered by insurance, then the party holding such insurance shall submit a claim for insurance coverage prior to asserting any claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE X;  provided, however, no Indemnified Person shall be required to obtain a waiver of subrogation from the carrier of any such insurance, and no indemnification payment shall be reduced by any amount for which the respective carrier shall have the right to assert subrogation.

39



ARTICLE XI.
CONFIDENTIALITY

                    11.1          Definition of Confidential Information.

                                     (a)          As used in this ARTICLE XI, the term “Confidential Information” includes any and all of the following information of Seller, the Company or Buyer that has been or may hereafter be disclosed in any form, whether in writing, orally, electronically or otherwise, or otherwise made available by observation, inspection or otherwise by either party (Buyer on the one hand or Seller and the Company on the other hand) or its Representatives (collectively, a “Disclosing Party”) to the other party or its Representatives (collectively, a “Receiving Party”):

                                                 (i)          all information that is a trade secret under applicable trade secret or other law;

                                                 (ii)          all information concerning product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current and planned research and development, current and planned manufacturing or distribution methods and processes, customer lists, current and anticipated customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer hardware and computer software and database technologies, systems, structures and architectures;

                                                 (iii)          all information concerning the business and affairs of the Disclosing Party (which includes historical and current financial statements, financial projections and budgets, tax returns and accountants’ materials, historical, current and projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, business plans, strategic plans, marketing and advertising plans, publications, client and customer lists and files, contracts, the names and backgrounds of key personnel and personnel training techniques and materials, however documented) and all information obtained from review of the Disclosing Party’s documents or property or discussions with the Disclosing Party regardless of the form of the communication;  and

                                                 (iv)          all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries and other material prepared by the Receiving Party to the extent containing or based, in whole or in part, upon any information included in the foregoing.

40



                                     (b)          Any trade secrets of a Disclosing Party shall also be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under applicable trade secret law and any other applicable law. If any information that a Disclosing Party deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this ARTICLE XI, such information shall still be considered Confidential Information of that Disclosing Party for purposes of this ARTICLE XI to the extent included within the definition. In the case of trade secrets, each of Buyer and Seller hereby waives any requirement that the other party submits, as a predicate to obtaining an injunction or similar equitable relief, proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.

                    11.2          Restricted Use of Confidential Information.

                                     (a)          Each Receiving Party acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and agrees that such Confidential Information (i) shall be kept confidential by the Receiving Party, (ii) shall not be used for any reason or purpose other than to evaluate and consummate the Contemplated Transactions or as otherwise provided herein and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any Person, except in each case as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or with the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Seller with respect to Confidential Information of Seller or the Company (each, a “Seller Contact”) or an authorized representative of Buyer with respect to Confidential Information of Buyer (each, a “Buyer Contact”).  Each of Buyer and Seller shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other party only to its Representatives who require such material for the purpose of evaluating the Contemplated Transactions and are informed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of the obligations of this ARTICLE XI with respect to such information. Each of Buyer and Seller shall (1) enforce the terms of this ARTICLE XI as to its respective Representatives, (2) take such action to the extent necessary to cause its Representatives to comply with the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE XI and (3) be responsible and liable for any breach of the provisions of this ARTICLE XI by it or its Representatives.

                                     (b)          Unless and until this Agreement is terminated, Seller shall maintain as confidential any Confidential Information of the Company or of Seller relating to the Company.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller may use any Confidential Information of the Company or of Seller before the Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business in connection with the transactions permitted by Section 6.2.

                                     (c)          From and after the Closing, the provisions of Section 11.2(a) above shall not apply to or restrict in any manner Buyer’s use or disclosure of any Confidential Information of the Company or Seller relating to the Company.

                    11.3          Exceptions.  Sections 11.2(a) and 11.2(b) do not apply to that part of the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party that a Receiving Party demonstrates (a) was, is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this ARTICLE XI by the Receiving Party or its Representatives, (b) was or is developed by the Receiving Party independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, or (c) was, is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a nonconfidential basis from a third party not bound by a confidentiality agreement or any legal, fiduciary or other obligation restricting disclosure.  Seller shall not disclose any Confidential Information of Seller relating to the Company in reliance on the exceptions in clauses (b) or (c) above.

41



                    11.4          Legal Proceedings.  If a Receiving Party becomes compelled in any Proceeding or is requested by a Governmental Body having regulatory jurisdiction over the Contemplated Transactions to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this ARTICLE XI, that Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that the Disclosing Party may, at its sole expense, seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this ARTICLE XI.  In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, the Receiving Party may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that, based upon advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Governmental Body, provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed. The provisions of this Section 11.4 do not apply to any Proceedings between the parties to this Agreement.

                    11.5          Return or Destruction of Confidential Information.  If this Agreement is terminated, each Receiving Party shall (a) destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party prepared or generated by the Receiving Party without retaining a copy of any such material, (b) promptly deliver to the Disclosing Party all other Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, together with all copies thereof, in the possession, custody or control of the Receiving Party or, alternatively, with the written consent of a Seller Contact or a Buyer Contact (whichever represents the Disclosing Party) destroy all such Confidential Information and (c) certify all such destruction in writing to the Disclosing Party;  provided, however, that (x) the Receiving Party may make use of the Confidential Information in the course of any litigation involving the Disclosing Party provided that confidential treatment for any such information is sought by the Receiving Party, and (y) the Receiving Party may retain a list that contains general descriptions of the information it has returned or destroyed to facilitate the resolution of any controversies after the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is returned.

ARTICLE XII.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

                    12.1          Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement will bear its respective fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including all fees and expense of its Representatives.  If this Agreement is terminated, the obligation of each party to pay its own fees and expenses will be subject to any rights of such party arising from a Breach of this Agreement by another party.

42



                    12.2          Public Announcements.  Any public announcement, press release or similar publicity with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions will be issued, if at all, at such time and in such manner as is jointly determined by Buyer and Seller, except as may be required by any Legal Requirement.  Except with the prior consent of the other party or as required by Legal Requirement, none of Seller, Buyer any of any of their Representatives shall disclose to any Person (a) the fact that any Confidential Information of Seller has been disclosed to Buyer or its Representatives, that Buyer or its Representatives have inspected any portion of the Confidential Information of Seller that any Confidential Information of Buyer has been disclosed to Seller or their Representatives or that Seller or their Representatives have inspected any portion of the Confidential Information of Buyer or (b) any information about the Contemplated Transactions, including the status of such discussions or negotiations, the execution of any documents (including this Agreement) or any of the terms of the Contemplated Transactions or the related documents (including this Agreement). Seller and Buyer will consult with each other concerning the means by which Seller’s employees, customers, suppliers and others having dealings with Seller will be informed of the Contemplated Transactions, and Buyer will have the right to be present for any such communication.

                    12.3          Assignments, Successors and No Third-Party Rights.  No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party;  provided, however, Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to a corporation that Buyer may form and having Buyer as its sole shareholder as of the effective date of such assignment and delegation provided, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations or liabilities hereunder.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.  Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 12.3, or with respect to Seller’s obligation to indemnify and hold the Company harmless pursuant to Section 10.8.

                    12.4          Jurisdiction.  Any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction may be brought in the courts of the State of California, Contra Costa County, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceeding, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction in any other court.

                    12.5          Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles that would require the application of any other law.

                    12.6          Waiver;  Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

43



To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by waiving or renouncing party, (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

                    12.7          Entire Agreement and Modification.  This Agreement and the License Agreement supersede all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter (including any letter of intent and any confidentiality agreement between Buyer and Seller) and constitute (along with the Contribution Agreement, Disclosure Schedule, Exhibits and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement executed by the party to be charged with the amendment.

                    12.8          Notices.  All notices, consents, waivers and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given to a party when (a) delivered to the appropriate address by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid), (b) sent by e-mail with a read receipt or confirmation of receipt by the intended recipient or (c) received or rejected by the addressee, if delivered by personal service in accordance with the federal or California rules of civil procedure or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case to the following addresses, or e-mail addresses and marked to the attention of the person designated below (or to such other address, e-mail address or person as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):
