ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties, Etc.

(a) All of the Shareholders’ and the Companies’ representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue until 5:00 p.m., California time, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or in any update to the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed

to be a representation and warranty made by the Companies in this Agreement that such statement or item of information is true and correct. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or the performance or compliance of any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification set forth in this Article VIII, and nothing in this Section 8.1 shall be deemed to limit any right or remedy for fraud with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV. All representations and warranties made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate and expire as of the Closing, and any liability of Purchaser hereunder with respect to such representations and warranties shall thereupon cease, except in the event of fraud by the Purchaser with respect thereto.

(b) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Companies and Shareholders, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by Purchaser, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation conducted for or on behalf of, or any knowledge acquired by, Purchaser or its officers, directors, employees, stockholders or agents as to the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement in relation to the Disclosure Schedule.

8.2 Indemnification Arrangements.

(a) Indemnification. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, by approval and adoption of this Agreement, each of the Shareholders agrees to indemnify Purchaser for such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses of investigation and defense (calculated after deduction for insurance proceeds recovered or recoverable) incurred by Purchaser directly or indirectly (including, after the Closing, by the Companies) as a result of any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of the Shareholders or the Companies contained herein or in any Schedules or Exhibits delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any failure by the Shareholders or the Companies to perform or comply with any covenant contained herein, (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”). For purposes of this Article VIII and the determination of whether a Loss has occurred in accordance with the preceding sentence, the representations and warranties of the Companies contained herein shall be deemed to have been made as of the Agreement Date (other than those made as of a specified date, which shall be made as of such specified dates) and all of such representations and warranties may be deemed to be modified by the Original Disclosure Schedule, as such Original Disclosure Schedule may be updated to reflect events that occurred following the Agreement Date and that were permitted or contemplated by this Agreement (and, except for such updates, shall not otherwise be deemed to be modified by the Disclosure Schedule). The Shareholders acknowledge that such Losses, if any, would relate to unresolved contingencies existing at the Closing, which if resolved at the Closing would have led to a reduction in the aggregate Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Companies shall not be liable in respect of any inaccuracy or breach in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, howsoever caused, or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.

(i) If no such agreement about any dispute can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Purchaser or either of the Shareholders may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, 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 binding arbitration conducted by three arbitrators. Purchaser and the Shareholders shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, each of which arbitrators shall be independent and have at least ten years relevant experience. The arbitrators 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 arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators 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 arbitrators. The fees and expenses of the three arbitrators and the costs of the arbitrators shall be borne by the non-prevailing party to the arbitration. For purposes of the foregoing, in any arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the amount stated in the Officer’s Certificate is at issue, Purchaser shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party in the event that the arbitrators award Purchaser less than the sum of one-half (1/2) of the disputed amount plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, the Shareholders shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party. In all other instances, the arbitrators shall make a ruling as to which of the parties shall be deemed the non-prevailing party.

(ii) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles County, California, USA, in accordance with the Center for Public Resources Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes. The arbitration shall be governed by the provisions of the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.

(iii) The parties hereto acknowledge that it is their intention in entering into this Agreement and establishing the dispute resolution mechanism contemplated by this Section 8.2(f) that all disputes under this Agreement following the Closing and relating to claims under Section 8.2(d) shall be resolved by good faith negotiation and arbitration in the manner contemplated by this Section 8.2(f). In the period prior to Closing, disputes under this Agreement may be resolved by any legal means available to the parties.

(c) Third-Party Claims. In the event Purchaser becomes aware of a third-party claim which Purchaser believes may result in a claim against any or all Shareholders, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Shareholders of such claim, and the Shareholders, shall be entitled, at his expense (which expense shall pursuant to and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.6(f) be payable), to participate in any defense of such claim. If any third-party claim is acknowledged by Shareholders in writing to Purchaser to be one that if the allegations in such claim are in fact true then any liability arising from the adjudication or other settlement of such claim would be for the account of the Shareholders and would be a valid claim against the Shareholders, then the Shareholders shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim and, if at the time any settlement of such claim shall be proposed, Shareholders shall have the power to settle such claim. If the Shareholders are not entitled to or choose not to assume the defense of any such claim, Purchaser shall consult with and attempt to solicit the consent of the Shareholders prior to and in connection with any settlement of any such claim, but Purchaser shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim. If any such claim is, however, settled without the consent of the Shareholders and Purchaser seeks to recover the amount of the settlement by claiming against the Shareholders, the settlement of any such claim with third-party claimants shall not alone be determinative of the amount of any such claim and the Shareholders may dispute such amount through the process provided by Section 8.2(f). In the event that the Shareholders have consented in writing to any such settlement and acknowledged that the claim by Purchaser is a valid claim, the Shareholders shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by Purchaser with respect to such settlement.

(d) Claims Resulting From Breaches of Shareholder Representations. If any claims for indemnity by Purchaser hereunder shall be based upon a Loss resulting from the inaccuracy of one or more of the representations of a Shareholder under Article III, then, notwithstanding the terms of Section 8.2(a), the claim shall not be paid on a pro rata basis from all of the Shareholders, but instead shall be deemed paid by the breaching Shareholder. Furthermore, if any claims for indemnity by Purchaser hereunder shall be based upon a Loss resulting from a fraudulent action on the part of a Shareholder, all claims hereunder by Purchaser with respect to such Loss shall be made against the Shareholder engaging in the fraudulent action and not against the other Shareholders.

(e) Change of Trade. The Shareholders shall not be liable for any claims (or portion thereof) for indemnity under the warranties in Section 4.13 or for a claim arising pursuant to Section 8.3 to the extent that such claims (or portion thereof) arise or are exacerbated as a result of any change in the nature or conduct of the trade or business of the Companies after the Closing.
