(a)                        If the Estimated Closing Adjustment exceeds the Final Closing Adjustment, each of the Shareholders shall be liable for his or her Pro Rata Portion of such excess, and such amounts shall first be paid out of the Indemnity Holdback (to the extent the amount of such excess is less than the then remaining amount of the Indemnity Holdback), with any remaining excess amount to be paid by the Shareholders to Parent based on each Shareholders Pro Rata Portion thereof.  If the Final Closing Adjustment exceeds the Estimated Closing Adjustment, the Parent shall pay to each Shareholder the amount of his or her Pro Rata Portion of such excess.  If the Final Closing Adjustment is equal to (or deemed pursuant to Section 2.06(d) to be equal to) to the Estimated Closing Adjustment, no payments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.07.

16

(b)                       Any payment to Shareholders or Parent pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall be made within 20 Business Days after the Final Closing Adjustment has been determined.  In the case of a payment by Parent, such payment shall be made in the same manner as the Initial Payment, subject in each case to Section 2.08 and the other provisions of this Article 2.  In the case of payments by the Shareholders (to the extent the Indemnity Escrow has been exhausted), such payments shall be made by delivery to Parent of a certified or official bank check payable in immediately available funds or by causing such payments to be credited to such account of Parent as may be designated by Parent.

Section 2.08.  Surrender and Delivery. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock entitled to receive the cash amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (such certificates, the “Certificates”).  Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the aggregate amount of the Initial Payment to be delivered in respect of the Certificates.  Prior to or promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Shareholder a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b)                       Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of such Certificates, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, the cash amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03(a) in respect of the Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificates; provided that the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration payable to any holder pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall, in each case, be subject to holdback in an amount equal to such Shareholders’ Pro Rata Portion of the Indemnity Holdback in accordance with Section 2.04.  Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such cash amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(a) hereof.

(c)                        If any portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration is to be delivered to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such delivery that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such delivery shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

17

(d)                       From and after the Allocation Date, there shall be no further registration or transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock.

(e)                        Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to any Shareholder for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Laws.

(f)                          Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Capital Stock two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.09.  Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding Section 2.03(a), any Outstanding Shares held by a Shareholder who has not voted in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for the Outstanding Shares held by such Shareholder in accordance with California Law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration unless such Shareholder thereafter waives or otherwise loses its dissenters’ rights, and the Shareholder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are provided by California law.  If, after the Effective Time, such Shareholder waives or otherwise loses its dissenters’ rights to appraisal, such Outstanding Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration applicable thereto (as and when paid in accordance with this Agreement) in accordance with this Article 2, without interest, and shall be deemed not to be Dissenting Shares.  The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any dissenters’ demands for payment received by the Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.  Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle, settle or hold any discussions with respect to, any such demands.  Following the Effective Time, except with the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative, neither the Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle, settle or hold any discussions with respect to, any such demands.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Parent or the Company (i) makes any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) incurs any other costs or expenses, (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding or in connection with any investigation) in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) (together “Dissenting Share Payments”), then (A) to the extent such

18

Dissenting Share Payments are paid or incurred prior to the Effective Time (“Pre-Closing Dissenting Share Payments”), they shall be deducted from the Merger Consideration (as provided in the definition thereof) and (B) to the extent such Dissenting Share Payments are paid or incurred after the Effective Time (“Post-Closing Dissenting Share Payments”), Parent shall be entitled to recover under the terms of Section 9.02 hereof.

Section 2.10.  Withholding Rights.  Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law.  If Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.  Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall undertake to timely pay over and deliver the withheld amounts as required by law and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Person from who so withheld from and against any and all Losses (as defined in Section 9.02) incurred or suffered by such Person by reason of any failure to do so.

Section 2.11.  Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the portion of the Merger Consideration due in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock evidenced by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

Section 2.12.  Payment of the Wage Payment Amount and Advisor Payment Amount; Netting of Certain Payments

(a)                        Provided that an Advisor Recipient first executes a Release Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C in respect of the Allocated Portion (a “Release Agreement”), Parent shall promptly thereafter cause the Surviving Corporation, in accordance with such Release Agreement, to pay to such Advisor Recipient the portion of the Advisor Payment Amount specified in Annex B next to such Advisor Recipient’s name (such portion, the “Allocated Portion”). To the extent that an Advisor Recipient does not execute a Release Agreement, neither the Parent nor Surviving Corporation shall have any payment obligation under this Section 2.12(a) with respect to such Advisor Recipient.

19

(b)                       Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each Wage Recipient the portion of the Wage Payment Amount specified in Annex C next to such Wage Recipient’s name on or prior to the first regular payroll date of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

(c)                        Provided that a Shareholder Debtor first executes a Repayment and Release Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Repayment Agreement”) in respect of such Shareholder Debtor’s Debt Obligation, Parent shall promptly thereafter cause the Surviving Corporation to release in accordance with the Repayment Agreement the portion of the Pledged Shares pledged by such Shareholder Debtor .

Section 7.01.  Covenants.

(a)        All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any real property transfer Tax and any similar Tax) shall be paid by the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, when due and Parent shall reimburse the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, for one half of the amount of such Transfer Taxes.  The Company will prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by Applicable Law, Parent and the Shareholders will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.  Parent and the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Shareholders, will each reimburse the Company for one half of the out of pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such filings.

(b)      Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and each of its Subsidiaries required to be filed after the Closing Date.  Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practices, and Parent shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, permit the Shareholder Representative to review and comment on each Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period prior to filing it, to the extent that such Tax Return would result in a Tax liability for which the Shareholders would be responsible, and Parent shall reasonably and in good faith consider such revisions to such Tax Returns as are requested by the Shareholder Representative. Any Covered Taxes shown as due and payable on any such Tax Return shall be paid by the Shareholder Representative to the relevant Taxing Authority or Parent, as directed by Parent.

Section 7.02.  Cooperation on Tax Matters.  (a) Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any

45

Tax Return (including any report required pursuant to Section 6043A of the Code and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Parent and the Shareholder Representative (to the extent applicable) agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and the Subsidiaries relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(b)        Parent and the Shareholder Representative further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including but not limited to with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

Section 7.03.  Tax Indemnification.  (a)  Each Shareholder, severally and not jointly in accordance with his, her or its Pro Rata Portion, shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from any Covered Tax (other than Employer taxes arising under FICA), and liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses), losses, damages, assessments, settlements or judgments arising out of or incident to the imposition, assessment or assertion of any Covered Tax  (together, a “Tax Loss”); provided that the foregoing indemnification obligation shall not apply with respect to any Tax Loss to the extent such Tax Loss is a Special Tax Item and was reflected in the calculation of the Adjusted Closing Working Capital Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Shareholder shall only be liable up to the aggregate amount of the aggregate portion of the Merger Consideration payable to such Shareholder pursuant to Article 2 for indemnifiable Tax Losses in respect of this Section 7.03.

(b)        For purposes of the determination of the Covered Tax described in Clause (A) of the definition thereof in respect of a Straddle Period, (x) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sales or use Taxes and Taxes based upon or related to income, the definition of Covered Tax shall be deemed to include the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income and any gross receipts, sales or use Tax, the definition of Covered Tax shall be deemed to include the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date.  All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocation set forth in the foregoing clause (y) shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  In this

46

connection, if an election is made under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the income resulting therefrom shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of income to be allocated in the foregoing clause (y) to the period ended on or including the Closing Date.

(c)        Parent agrees to give prompt notice to Shareholder Representative of any Tax Loss or the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (any such suit, action or proceeding, a “Tax Contest”), specifying with reasonable particularity the basis therefor, and will give Shareholder Representative such information with respect thereto as Shareholder Representative may reasonably request.  Shareholder Representative shall, at its election, have the right to control (at Shareholder Representative’s expense) the Tax Contest to the extent the Tax Contest relates solely (i) to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and (ii) to a Tax matter that the Shareholders agree is entirely subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.03, provided, however that Shareholder Representative shall keep Parent informed regarding such Tax Contest on a timely basis, shall consult with Parent in advance of filings, discussions, and meetings, shall afford Parent the opportunity to review any submissions and provide Parent with final copies of such submissions and shall allow Parent, at its expense, to participate in any such Tax Contest (including in any meetings with a Taxing Authority or other proceedings) and provided further, that Shareholder Representative shall not agree to any settlement or other disposition of any such Tax Contest without Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In all other instances, Parent shall conduct the defense of any Tax Contest, but Parent shall not, without Shareholder Representative’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, agree to any settlement or other disposition with respect to any Tax for which the Shareholders are responsible pursuant to this Section 7.03.  Failure to notify the Shareholder Representative of a Tax Contest or to allow the Shareholder Representative to control a Tax Contest in accordance with this Section 7.03(c) shall not relieve any Shareholder of its obligations under this Section 7.03 except to the extent such Shareholder’s liability under this Section 7.03 is actually and materially adversely affected as a result thereof.  All of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any claim.  The Shareholders shall discharge their obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any Tax Loss that results from the resolution of any such Tax Contest by (i) if the Indemnity Holdback has not been fully exhausted or disbursed, allowing Parent to deduct from the Indemnity Holdback the amount of such Tax Loss and (ii) to the extent the Indemnity Holdback has been exhausted or disbursed, paying to the applicable Indemnified Party an amount equal to the remaining amount of such Tax Loss.

(d)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent is required under Applicable Law to pay an amount to a Taxing Authority that would constitute a

47

Tax Loss in connection with but prior to the resolution of a suit, action or proceeding described in Section 7.03(c), the Shareholders shall discharge their obligation to indemnify Parent against such Tax Loss by making payments (or causing deduction to be made from the Indemnity Holdback) to Parent within 30 days of receipt of notice of the payment by Parent and Parent at the request of the Shareholder Representative, and at the Shareholder Representative’s cost and expense, shall commence a claim or action for refund where required to protect the Shareholders’ right to contest liability for a Tax Loss.  In the event that Parent receives a partial or total refund of any such payment, Parent shall transfer that amount to Shareholder Representative or the Indemnity Holdback (if such Indemnity Holdback has not been finally released pursuant to its terms).

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will any Shareholder have any obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 7 for any Tax Losses related to or arising from either the amount, value or condition of any Tax Asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to utilize any such Tax Asset for any Post-Closing Tax Period.

(f)         Notwithstanding any other provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement, including Section 9.02 (other than Section 9.02(d)), this Section 7.03 shall govern all indemnification claims with respect to Taxes.  Any payment required to be made by the Shareholders to any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.03 shall be paid to such Indemnified Party first from the Indemnity Holdback, and after such time that the Indemnity Holdback has been fully exhausted or disbursed, directly by the Shareholders.

(g)        Neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall amend any Tax Return filed on or before the Closing Date without the written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed..

(h)        Any claim of any Indemnified Party under this Section 7.03 may be made and enforced by Parent on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

Section 7.04.  Certain Disputes.  Disputes arising under this Article 7 and not resolved by mutual agreement within 30 days shall be resolved by a nationally recognized expert in the relevant area with no material relationship with Parent, the Shareholders or their Affiliates (the “Referee”), chosen and mutually acceptable to both Parent and the Shareholder Representative within five days of the date on which the need to choose the Referee arises.  The Referee shall resolve any disputed items within 30 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require.  The costs, fees and expenses of the Referee shall be borne equally by Parent, on the one hand, and the Shareholders, on the other hand.

48

Section 7.05.  Adjustments to the Merger Consideration.  Any amount paid by or to the Shareholders (or Shareholder Representative) or Parent under Article 7 or Article 9 will be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Section 7.06.  Survival.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 7 shall survive until the fifth Business Day following expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

(f)         After the Effective Time, the Parent’s, Merger Subsidiary’s and the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article 7 and this Article 9.

(g)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations, thresholds, qualifications and similar provisions set forth in Section 7.03 and this Section 9.03 shall not apply to any Shareholder with respect to (i) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach of such Shareholder, or (ii) any non-monetary equitable remedy, including a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance.

Section 9.04.  Procedures for Indemnification.  (a) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 shall give prompt notice (“Indemnification Notice”) to the Shareholder Representative (who shall be entitled to take all actions of the Shareholders as Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Shareholders (and which actions will be binding upon such Shareholders)) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article 9 (a “Claim”), which notice shall set forth, to the extent reasonably practicable, the nature and basis of the claim and the amount of Losses incurred or reasonably anticipated to incur by such Indemnified Party.  The failure to so notify the Shareholder Representative shall not relieve the Shareholders of their obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the ability of the Shareholder Representative to defend such Claim.  .

Section 9.05.  Third Party Claims.  (a) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Claim asserted by any Third Party

54

(“Third Party Claim”) and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.05, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) for such defense; provided that, prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge that it would have an indemnification obligation for any Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim as provided under this Article 9; and provided, further that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be detrimental to the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects, (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iv) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend vigorously the Third Party Claim, as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Parties or (v) the specified damages of such Third Party Claim exceeds an amount equal to the unexhausted portion of the Indemnity Holdback less the sum of (A) the amount subject to any other Claims outstanding plus (B) the reasonably anticipated expenses for litigation of such Claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall conduct any such defense in good faith, with appropriate diligence and in the best interest of the Indemnified Party.  All expenses required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party described in this Article 9 may be paid from the Indemnity Holdback; provided that Parent has provided its written consent regarding all such expenses (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b)        If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to, has declined to, or does not assume control of the defense of such a Third Party Claim (or has failed to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend such Third Party Claim) within thirty (30) days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of such Claim, then the Indemnified Party may notify the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to assume control of the defense of such a Third Party Claim, in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Claim.

(c)        If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.05, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim if the settlement does not expressly unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against, or any other adverse effect on, the Indemnified Party.

55

(d)        The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose.  The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim or (ii) if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest.

Section 9.06.  Claims Against the Indemnity Holdback; Distribution Upon Termination of the Survival Period.

(a)        Subject to Section 9.06(b), twenty (20) days after the Shareholder Representative has received, provided such receipt is on or before the last day of the Survival Period, a certificate signed by any officer of Parent (an “Officer’s Certificate”) (i) stating that Parent has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates in good faith that it will have to pay or accrue Losses or Tax Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Article 7 or Section 9.02 , (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses or Tax Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other basis for the claim under Article 7 or Section 9.02 to which such item is related and (iii) indicating the amount to be disbursed to the Indemnified Parties out of the Indemnity Holdback, Parent shall deduct the amount equal to such Losses or Tax Losses from the Indemnity Holdback.

(b)        For a period of twenty (20) days after the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Shareholder Representative, Parent shall make no deduction pursuant to Section 9.06(a) unless the Parent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholder Representative to make such deduction.  After the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, Parent shall make the deduction from the Indemnity Holdback in accordance with Section 9.06(a); provided, however, that no such deduction shall be made, other than in accordance with Section 9.07, if the Shareholder Representative shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to Parent prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) day period.

(c)        If any portion of the Indemnity Holdback remains, which has not otherwise been subject to deduction pursuant to Section 9.06(a) or 9.06(b), after the expiration of the Survival Period (the “Indemnity Holdback Remainder”), (A) Parent shall, within 5 days from the date thereof, pay, or cause to be paid, to the Shareholders, subject to Section 2.08, their respective Pro Rata Portion of the Indemnity Holdback Remainder (net of any part thereof in respect of which Parent shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (such amount, a “Pending Claim Amount”)). Parent shall retain any Pending Claim Amount until a

56

determination can be made with respect to claims under the applicable Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Sections 9.06(a), 9.06(b) and 9.07, after which time, Parent shall, within 5 days from the date thereof, pay, or cause to be paid, to the Shareholders, subject to Section 2.08, their respective Pro Rata Portion of any remaining portion of the Pending Claim Amount, if any. Any amounts which Parent shall have deducted from the Indemnity Holdback pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall be deemed forfeited and retained permanently by Parent.

Section 9.07.  Resolution Of Conflicts; Arbitration.

(a)        In case the Shareholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 9.06(b), the Shareholder Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.  If the Shareholder Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties.

(b)        If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Parent or the Shareholder Representative may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss is at issue in pending litigation with a Third Party Claim, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the Shareholder Representative.  In the event that within ten (10) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Shareholder Representative cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator.  The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute.  The arbitrator or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification.  The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement.  Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s).

57

(c)        Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Any such arbitration shall be held in Pleasanton, California, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association.

Appointment of Shareholder Representative.  Effective upon and by virtue of the Company Shareholder Approval, and without any further act of any of the Shareholders, the Shareholder Representative shall be appointed as the representative of the Shareholders and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Shareholder solely with respect to those matters set forth in Article 2, Article 7 and Article 9.  The Shareholder Representative hereby accepts such appointment.  The Shareholder Representative shall have the authority to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement and such other actions on behalf of such Shareholders as it may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the exercise of the power to (i) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, commence any suit, action or proceeding, and comply with orders of courts with respect to those matters set forth in Article 2, Article 7 and Article 9, (ii) litigate, resolve, settle or compromise any dispute that may arise pursuant to Article 2, Article 7 and Article 9, and (iii) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.  The Shareholder Representative will have sole authority and power to act on behalf of each Shareholder with respect to the disposition, settlement or other handling of all claims pursuant to Article 2, Article 7 and Article 9 and all related rights or obligations of the Shareholders arising under this Agreement.  The Shareholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts, based on contact information available to the Shareholder Representative, to keep the Shareholders reasonably informed with respect to actions of the Shareholder Representative pursuant to the authority granted the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement.  Each Shareholder shall promptly provide written notice to the Shareholder Representative of any change of address of such Shareholder.

58

act, consent or instruction of each and every Shareholder.  All Indemnified Parties shall be relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative.
