(i)    Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock, including any Unvested Company Shares, held by a Converting Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, (A) subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Common Per Share Cash Consideration and a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the Common Per Share Stock Consideration, (B) subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4 and Schedule B hereto, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the applicable portion of the Contingent Cash Payment Per Share Consideration and a number of shares equal to the applicable portion of the Contingent Stock Payment Per Share Consideration, (C) subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4, Section 1.6(h) and Article VIII, the right to receive upon release from the Escrow Fund such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Fund and (D) subject to and in accordance with Section 8.7, the right to receive such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Stockholders’ Agent Expense Fund.

9
    



(ii)    Company Options. Each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be terminated and cancelled at the Effective Time and shall not be assumed by Acquirer, and no Company Option shall be substituted with any equivalent option or right to purchase Acquirer Common Stock. Upon cancellation thereof, each vested Company Option held by a Converting Holder prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and represent the right to receive, (A) subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4, an amount in cash, without interest, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option, equal to the Option Per Share Consideration (collectively, the “Option Payments”), (B) subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4 and Schedule B hereto, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the applicable portion of the Contingent Cash Payment Per Share Consideration and a number of shares equal to the applicable portion of the Contingent Stock Payment Per Share Consideration, (C) subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4 and Article VIII, the right to receive upon release from the Escrow Fund such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Fund in cash (as set forth on the Updated Spreadsheet) and (D) subject to and in accordance with Section 8.7, the right to receive such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Stockholders’ Agent Expense Fund; provided that any distributions to holders of Company Options must be made prior to the date that is five years following the Effective Time and otherwise in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3 (i)(5)(iv)(A). The amount of cash each Converting Holder holding Company Options is entitled to receive for such Company Options shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Company Options held by such Converting Holder and will be reduced by any applicable payroll, income tax or other withholding taxes. Upon cancellation thereof, no payment shall be made with respect to any Company Option that is not a vested Company Option. The Company shall, prior to the Closing, take or cause to be taken all actions, and shall obtain all consents, as may be required to effect the treatment of Company Options pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)(ii).
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be paid and issued, respectively, by Acquirer to the Company Securityholders (including the Merger Consideration, the Aggregate Option Cash-Out Amount, the Contingent Stock Payment Consideration and the Contingent Cash Payment Consideration, but excluding the Employee RSUs) exceed the Total Amount less the Closing Net Working Capital Shortfall, if any, and less an amount in cash equal to the Transaction Expenses that are incurred but unpaid as of the Closing.
(b)    Treatment of Company Capital Stock Owned by the Company. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment of any cash or other property or consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.
(c)    Treatment of Merger Sub I Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquirer, Merger Sub I or any other Person, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub I that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation (and the shares of the First Step Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub I capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the First Step Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). From and after the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of a number of shares of Merger Sub I capital stock will evidence ownership of such number of shares of common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation.

10
    



(d)    Treatment of Merger Sub II Membership Interests. At the Second Effective Time, each share of common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation that is issued and outstanding, immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof. At the Second Effective Time, each membership interest of the Merger Sub II that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will constitute one membership interest of the Final Surviving Entity. Such membership interests shall be the only membership interests of the Final Surviving Entity that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Second Effective Time.
(e)    Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock or Acquirer Common Stock occurring after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references herein to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.
(f)    Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Delaware Law or California Law. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law or California Law, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with Delaware Law or California Law (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be deemed to have converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Acquirer shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.4(a), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.4(a), the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall provide to Acquirer (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments related to such demands served pursuant to Delaware Law or California Law and received by the Company and (ii) the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under Delaware Law or California Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquirer, or as otherwise required under Delaware Law or California Law, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares. Subject to Section 8.2, the payout of consideration under this Agreement to the Converting Holders (other than in respect of Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated as provided in this Section 1.3(f) and under Delaware Law or California Law) shall not be affected by the exercise or potential exercise of appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights under Delaware Law or California Law by any other Company Stockholder.
(g)    Rights Not Transferable.

(v)    Any certificates or book-entry entitlements representing the shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.3(a) shall bear the following legends to the extent applicable (along with any other legends that may be required under Applicable Law):
“(1)    THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, A VALID EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 3(A)(10) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(2)    THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF REPURCHASE AND/OR INDEMNITY AND ESCROW OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY.”
It is Acquirer’s current policy not to issue stock certificates representing shares of its capital stock, and all new issuances of capital stock are reflected on Acquirer’s books and records in book entry only, with appropriate notations reflecting the applicable legends.
(vi)    Upon receipt of written confirmation of the effectiveness of the First Merger from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, Acquirer will instruct the Paying Agent to (A) subject to any applicable Vesting Agreement, pay to each Converting Holder by check or wire transfer of same‑day funds the aggregate amount of cash payable to such Converting Holder pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i)(A), less such Converting Holder’s applicable portion of the Cash Escrow Amount (as set forth on the Spreadsheet) and the Pro Rata Share of the Stockholders’ Agent Expense Amount, and (B) subject to any applicable Vesting Agreement, deliver to each Converting Holder the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable to such Converting Holder pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i)(A), less such Converting Holder’s Stock applicable portion of the Stock Escrow Amount (as set forth on the Spreadsheet), in each case other than in respect of Dissenting Shares to holders thereof, and in each case as promptly as practicable following the submission of a Certificate to the Paying Agent and a duly executed Letter of Transmittal by such Converting Holder.

(c)    Escrow Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the other provisions of this Article I, Acquirer shall withhold from each Converting Holder’s applicable portion of the Merger Consideration payable and issuable to such Converting Holder pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i)(A) and/or Section 1.3(a)(ii)(A), as applicable, such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount (with cash and stock allocations thereof as set forth on the Spreadsheet) and shall deposit the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 8.1. The shares of Acquirer Common Stock deposited into the Escrow Fund shall, to the maximum extent possible, consist of vested shares of Acquirer Common Stock. The Escrow Fund shall constitute partial security for the benefit of Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Converting Holders under Section 1.6(h) or Article VIII, and shall be held and distributed in accordance with Section 1.6(h) and Section 8.1. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company Stockholders shall constitute, among other things, approval of the Escrow Amount, the withholding of the Escrow Amount by Acquirer and the appointment of the Stockholders’ Agent.
(d)    Stockholders’ Agent Expense Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the other provisions of this Article I, Acquirer shall withhold from each Converting Holder’s applicable portion of the Cash Consideration payable to such Converting Holder pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i)(A) and Section 1.3(a)(ii)(A) such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of $1,000,000 (the “Stockholders’ Agent Expense Amount”).

(e)    Transfers of Ownership. If any cash amount or share of Acquirer Common Stock payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a) is to be paid or issued to a Person other than the Person to which the Certificate or Company Option surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the payment or issuance thereof that such Certificate or Company Option shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid to Acquirer or any agent designated by Acquirer any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of cash or issuance of shares of Acquirer Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of such Certificate or Company Option, or established to the satisfaction of Acquirer or any agent designated by Acquirer that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(f)    No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.4, no party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

14
    



(g)    Unclaimed Consideration. Each holder of a Certificate or Company Option who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by this Section 1.4 shall look only to Acquirer (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar Applicable Law) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to any portion of the Merger Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a) in respect of such Certificate or Company Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Certificate or Company Option has not been surrendered prior to the earlier of the first anniversary of the Effective Time and such date on which the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a) in respect of such Certificate or Company Option would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity, any amounts payable in respect of such Certificate or Company Option shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Acquirer, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.
1.5    No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Capital Stock, Company Options. The applicable portion of the Merger Consideration paid or payable and issued or issuable following the surrender for exchange of the Certificates and Company Options in accordance with this Agreement shall be paid or payable or issued or issuable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificates or issuable pursuant to such Company Options, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the First Step Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock or Company Options that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or document or instrument representing a Company Option is presented to the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity for any reason, such Certificate or Company Option shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.
1.6    Company Net Working Capital Adjustment.
(a)    Pursuant to Section 5.13, the Company shall deliver the Company Closing Financial Statement to Acquirer not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(b)    Within 90 days after the Closing, Acquirer may object to the calculation of Company Net Working Capital included in the Company Closing Financial Statement (the “NWC Calculations”) by delivering to the Stockholders’ Agent a notice (the “Acquirer NWC Notice”) setting forth Acquirer’s calculation of Company Net Working Capital and the amount by which Company Net Working Capital as calculated by Acquirer is less than Company Net Working Capital as set forth in the Company Closing Financial Statement, in each case together with supporting documentation, information and calculations.
(c)    The Stockholders’ Agent may object to the calculation of Company Net Working Capital set forth in the Acquirer NWC Notice by providing written notice of such objection to Acquirer within 20 days after Acquirer’s delivery of the Acquirer NWC Notice (the “Notice of Objection”), together with supporting documentation, information and calculations. Any matters not expressly set forth in the Notice of Objection shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholders’ Agent on behalf of the Converting Holders.
(d)    If the Stockholders’ Agent timely provides the Notice of Objection, then Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall confer in good faith for a period of up to 10 Business Days following Acquirer’s timely receipt of the Notice of Objection in an attempt to resolve any disputed matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, and any resolution by them shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Converting Holders.
(e)    If, after the 10 Business Day period set forth in Section 1.6(d), Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent cannot resolve any matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, then Acquirer and the

15
    



Stockholders’ Agent shall engage KPMG LLP or, if such firm is not able or willing to so act, another auditing firm acceptable to both Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent (the “Reviewing Accountant”) to review only the matters in the Notice of Objection that are still disputed by Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent and the NWC Calculations to the extent relevant thereto. After such review and a review of the Company’s relevant books and records, the Reviewing Accountant shall promptly (and in any even within 60 days following its engagement) determine the resolution of such remaining disputed matters, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Converting Holders, and the Reviewing Accountant shall provide Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent with a calculation of Company Net Working Capital in accordance with such determination.
(f)    If the sum of (x) Company Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(b), Section 1.6(d) and/or Section 1.6(e), as the case may be (the “Final Net Working Capital”), plus (y) the Closing Net Working Capital Shortfall, if any, is less than the Closing Net Working Capital Target (such difference, the “Final Net Working Capital Shortfall”), then the Converting Holders shall severally but not jointly indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer without any dispute by the Stockholders’ Agent, for the full amount of:
(i)    the Final Net Working Capital Shortfall; and
(ii)    all fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant to be paid by the Converting Holders pursuant to Section 1.6(g)(ii) or Section 1.6(g)(iii), if any.
(g)    The fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant shall be paid by (i) Acquirer in the event the difference between the Final Net Working Capital as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and the NWC Calculations set forth in the Acquirer NWC Notice (such difference, the “Acquirer’s Difference”) is greater than the difference between the Final Net Working Capital as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and the NWC Calculations set forth in the Notice of Objection (such difference, the “Stockholders’ Agent’s Difference”), (ii) by the Converting Holders if the Acquirer’s Difference is less than the Stockholders’ Agent’s Difference or (iii) equally by Acquirer on the one hand, and the Converting Holders on the other hand, if the Acquirer’s Difference is the same as the Stockholders’ Agent’s Difference.
(h)    To the extent that the Converting Holders have an obligation to indemnify Acquirer pursuant to this Section 1.6 and there is an amount of cash and/or a number shares of Acquirer Common Stock in the Escrow Fund, Acquirer shall, in satisfaction of such indemnification obligation, cause the Escrow Agent to return to Acquirer an amount in cash and/or a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock having an aggregate value (based on the Acquirer Stock Price) equal to the aggregate amount of such indemnification obligation. Acquirer’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 1.6 will not be subject to any of the limitations set forth in Article VIII. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be treated as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law.
1.7    Tax Consequences. The parties hereto intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 354(a)(1) of the Code, and to cause the Reorganization to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; it being understood and agreed that, except as provided in Section 5.14(c), no party hereto makes any representations or warranties to any other Person or to any Company Securityholder regarding the Tax treatment of the Reorganization, or any of the Tax consequences to any Person or any Company Securityholder of this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions or the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement; it being further understood

16

Acquirer has no plan or intention to liquidate the Final Surviving Entity, to transfer any or all membership interests in the Final Surviving Entity or to merge the Final Surviving Entity into another business entity, and Acquirer shall not, except as expressly permitted under Section 1.368-2(k) of the Treasury Regulations, so liquidate, transfer interests in or merge the Final Surviving Entity within two years of the Closing unless it has received an opinion from a qualified tax advisor that doing so could not reasonably be expected to impair the treatment of the Reorganization as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. None of Acquirer, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Company and any Subsidiary of the Company have taken any action or have knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would, either alone or in combination, reasonably be expected to cause the Reorganization to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(d)    Acquirer, the Company and the Final Surviving Entity shall report and treat the Reorganization as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

5.16    Nasdaq Listing. Prior to the Closing, Acquirer shall file a Notification of Listing of Additional Shares (or such other form as may be required by Nasdaq) with Nasdaq with respect to the shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be issued in the Merger and those required to be reserved for issuance in connection with the Merger and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such shares to be approved for listing before the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Company Indemnification Provisions, no Company Indemnified Party shall be entitled to coverage under any Acquirer director and officer insurance policy or errors and omission policy unless such Company Indemnified Party is separately eligible for coverage under such policy pursuant to Acquirer’s policies and procedures and the terms of such insurance policy.
(b)    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase tail insurance coverage (the “Tail Insurance Coverage”) for the Company Indemnified Parties in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Acquirer, which shall provide the Company Indemnified Parties with coverage for six years following the Closing Date in an amount not less than the existing coverage and that shall have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage maintained by the Company as of the Agreement Date. Acquirer shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to maintain the Tail Insurance Coverage in full force and effect and continue to honor the obligations thereunder until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date.
(c)    This Section 5.17 (i) shall survive the consummation of the Merger, (ii) is intended to benefit each Company Indemnified Party and their respective heirs, (iii) is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have against Acquirer or the Final Surviving Entity first arising after the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement by contract or otherwise, (iv) shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Acquirer and the Final Surviving Entity, as applicable, and shall be enforceable by the Company Indemnified Parties, and (v) shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Company Indemnified Party under this Section 5.17 without the written consent of such affected Company Indemnified Party; provided that (x) recourse shall first be against the Tail Insurance Coverage until it is exhausted before recovery against Acquirer shall take place and (y) the aggregate Liability of Acquirer under this Section 5.17 to all Company Indemnified Parties shall in no event exceed the amount of Company Net Working Capital shown on the Company Financial Certificate.

Except to the extent there is a cancellation of shares of Acquirer Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund in connection with Indemnifiable Damages, shares of Acquirer Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund shall be treated by Acquirer as issued and outstanding stock of Acquirer, and the Company Stockholders shall be entitled to exercise voting rights and to receive dividends with respect to such shares (other than non-taxable stock dividends, which shall be retained by the Escrow Agent and included as part of the Escrow Fund). Except as provided in the Escrow Agreement, the Converting Holders shall not receive interest or other earnings on the cash or the shares of Acquirer Common Stock (other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) in the Escrow Fund. Neither the Escrow Fund (including any portion thereof) nor any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, subjected to any Encumbrance, sold, assigned or transferred by any Converting Holder or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other Liability of any Converting Holder, in each case prior to the distribution of the Escrow Fund to any Converting Holder in accordance with Section 8.1(b), except that each Converting Holder shall be entitled to assign such Converting Holder’s rights to such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Fund by will, by the laws of intestacy or by other operation of law.
(b)    As soon as practicable, and in no event later than five Business Days following the Escrow Release Date, the Escrow Agent will distribute to each Converting Holder such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Fund less that portion of the Escrow Fund that is determined, in the reasonable judgment of Acquirer, to be necessary to satisfy all unsatisfied or disputed claims for indemnification specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Stockholders’ Agent on or prior to the Escrow Release Date in accordance with this Article VIII. Any portion of the Escrow Fund held by the Escrow Agent following the Escrow Release Date with respect to pending but unresolved claims for indemnification that is not awarded to Acquirer upon the resolution of such claims shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Converting Holders as soon as practicable, and in no event later than five Business Days following resolution of such claims and in accordance with each such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such portion of the Escrow Fund. Any distribution of the Escrow Fund to a Converting Holder shall be in accordance with the cash and stock allocations as set forth on the Updated Spreadsheet.
8.2    Indemnification.
(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, each Converting Holder shall severally but not jointly indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer, the Merger Subs and the Company and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person, if any, who controls or may control Acquirer within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, Liabilities, damages (whether consequential, special, punitive or otherwise; provided that such damages shall include special or punitive damage only to the extent a component of a Third-Party Claim; provided, further, that such damages shall include consequential damages only to the extent awardable under Applicable Law), fees, Taxes, interest, costs and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and defense and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, experts and other professionals, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”), in each case, to the extent arising out of or resulting from:
(i)    any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company herein or in the Company Disclosure Letter (including any exhibit to or schedule of the Company Disclosure Letter) or (A) as of the Agreement Date (except in the case of representations and warranties that by their terms speak only as of a specified date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date or dates or (B) as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties

69
    



that by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date or dates);
(ii)    any failure of any certification, representation or warranty made by the Company in any certificate (other than the Spreadsheet and the Company Closing Financial Statement) delivered to Acquirer pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct as of the date such certificate is delivered to Acquirer;
(iii)    any breach of, or default in connection with, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations made by the Company herein or in any other agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger;
(iv)    any inaccuracies in the Spreadsheet or the Company Closing Financial Statement (including any failure to include any item required to be included in the calculation of Company Net Working Capital);
(v)    any payments or issuances made with respect to Dissenting Shares to the extent that such payments or issuances, in the aggregate, exceed the value of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable or issuable (based on the Acquirer Stock Price) pursuant to Section 1.3(a) upon the exchange of such Dissenting Shares, and any interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with the exercise of any dissenters’ or appraisal rights;
(vi)    any claims by (A) any then-current or former holder or alleged then-current or former holder of any Equity Interests of the Company (including any predecessors), arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (I) the Transactions or this Agreement, including the allocation of the Merger Consideration, or (II) such Person’s status or alleged status as a holder of Equity Interests of the Company (including any predecessors) at any time at or prior to the Closing, whether for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise, (B) any Person to the effect that such Person is entitled to any Equity Interest of Acquirer or the Company or any payment in connection with the Transactions other than as specifically set forth on the Spreadsheet or (C) any Person with respect to any Company Option Plan or any other plan, policy or Contract providing for compensation to any Person in the form of Equity Interests;
(vii)    any Pre-Closing Taxes not included as current liabilities in the calculation of Company Net Working Capital, other than Taxes resulting from the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(viii)    the Specified Indemnification Contract (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter); and
(ix)    any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company or such Converting Holder.
(b)    Materiality and knowledge standards or qualifications, qualifications or requirements that a matter be or not be “reasonably expected” or “reasonably likely” to occur and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation shall only be taken into account in determining whether an inaccuracy of such representation or warranty, or a breach of such covenant, agreement or obligation, exists, and shall not

70
    



be taken into account in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such inaccuracy or breach.
8.3    Indemnifiable Damage Threshold; Other Limitations.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnified Person may make a claim against the Escrow Fund in respect of any claim for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the matters listed in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 8.2(a) (other than claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any failure of any of the Special Representations) unless and until a Claim Certificate (together with any other delivered Claim Certificates) describing Indemnifiable Damages in an aggregate amount greater than $5,000,000 (the “Basket”) has been delivered, in which case the Indemnified Person may make claims for indemnification and may receive cash or shares of Acquirer Common Stock from the Escrow Fund for all Indemnifiable Damages (including the amount of the Basket). The Basket shall not apply to any other Indemnifiable Damages or claims therefor.
(b)    If the Merger is consummated, recovery from the Escrow Fund shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for the indemnity obligations of each Converting Holder under this Agreement for Indemnifiable Damages (and not specific performance or other equitable remedies) arising out of, relating to or in connection with the matters listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 8.2(a), except (i) in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company or such Converting Holder and (ii) any failure of any of the representations and warranties made by (A) the Company in Section 2.2 (Capital Structure), Section 2.3 (Authority; Non-contravention), Section 2.10 (Taxes) or Section 2.16 (Transaction Fees) or (B) the Company in any certificate delivered to Acquirer pursuant to this Agreement that are within the scope of those covered by the foregoing Sections (collectively, the “Special Representations”) to be true and correct as aforesaid.
(c)    In the case of any claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the failure of any of the Special Representations to be true and correct as aforesaid or the matters listed in clauses (iii) through (viii) of Section 8.2(a) (collectively, “Fundamental Claims”), after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims upon all amounts of cash and/or a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification from the Escrow Fund made by Indemnified Persons), each Converting Holder shall have Liability for such Converting Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom; provided that such Liability shall be limited to the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock actually received by such Converting Holder pursuant to Section 1.3(a); provided, further, that any limitation of Liability in this Section 8.3(c) shall not apply in the case of fraud committed by such Converting Holder.
(d)    The amounts that an Indemnified Person recovers from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Fundamental Claims shall not reduce the amount that an Indemnified Person may recover with respect to claims that are not Fundamental Claims. By way of illustration and not limitation, assuming there are no other claims for indemnification, in the event that Indemnifiable Damages resulting from a Fundamental Claim are first satisfied from the Escrow Fund and such recovery fully depletes the Escrow Fund, the maximum amount recoverable by an Indemnified Person pursuant to a subsequent claim that is not a Fundamental Claim shall continue to be the full dollar value of the Escrow Fund (based on the Acquirer Stock Price) irrespective of the fact that the Escrow Fund was used to satisfy such Fundamental Claim, such that the amount recoverable for such two claims would be the same regardless of the chronological order in which they were made.

71
    



(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) no Converting Holder shall have any right of indemnification, contribution or right of advancement from Acquirer, the Final Surviving Entity or any other Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages claimed by any Indemnified Person or any right of subrogation against the Company or the Final Surviving Entity with respect to any indemnification of an Indemnified Person by reason of any of the matters set forth in Section 8.2(a), (ii) the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Persons after the Effective Time shall not be limited by (x) any investigation by or on behalf of, or disclosure to (other than in the Company Disclosure Letter, subject to limitations set forth therein), by or on behalf of, any Indemnified Person at or prior to the Effective Time regarding any failure, breach or other event or circumstance or (y) any waiver of any condition to the Closing related thereto, (iii) if an Indemnified Person’s claim under this Article VIII may be properly characterized in multiple ways in accordance with this Article VIII such that such claim may or may not be subject to different limitations depending on such characterization, then such Indemnified Person shall have the right to characterize such claim in a manner that maximizes the recovery and time to assert such claim permitted in accordance with this Article VIII and (iv) no Converting Holder shall be liable for the breach of any covenant of another Converting Holder or any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of any Person other than the Company or such Converting Holder; provided that nothing herein shall limit the liability of a Converting Holder for any fraud committed by such Converting Holder.
(f)    All Indemnifiable Damages shall be calculated net of the amount of any actual recoveries actually received by an Indemnified Person prior to the Escrow Release Date under any existing insurance policies and contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, expenses, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Indemnified Person) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries) in respect of any Indemnifiable Damages suffered, paid, sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Person; provided that no Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to seek to obtain or continue to pursue any such recoveries.
8.4    Period for Claims. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.4, the period (the “Claims Period”) during which claims may be made (i) against the Escrow Fund for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the matters listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 8.2(a) (other than with respect to any of the Special Representations) shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the Escrow Release Date and (ii) for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with all other matters, including Fundamental Claims, shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the date that is 30 days following (A) in the case of claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (I) the failure of any of the representation and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.10 (Taxes) to be true and correct as aforesaid or (ii) Pre-Closing Taxes, the date that is six years following the Closing Date and (B) in all other cases, the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such portion of the Escrow Fund at the Escrow Release Date as in the reasonable judgment of Acquirer may be necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Indemnifiable Damages specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Stockholders’ Agent on or prior to the Escrow Release Date shall remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims for Indemnifiable Damages have been resolved or satisfied. The availability of the Escrow Fund to indemnify the Indemnified Persons will be determined without regard to any right to indemnification that any Converting Holder may have in his, her or its capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company and no such Converting Holder will be entitled to any indemnification from the Company or the Surviving Corporation for amounts paid for indemnification under this Article VIII.
8.5    Claims.

72
    



(a)    From time to time during the Claims Period, Acquirer may deliver to the Stockholders’ Agent one or more certificates signed by any officer of Acquirer (each, a “Claim Certificate”):
(i)    stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it may incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages (or that with respect to any Tax matters, that any Tax Authority may raise such matter in audit of Acquirer or its subsidiaries, that could give rise to Indemnifiable Damages);
(ii)    stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount believed by Acquirer in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and
(iii)    specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Acquirer) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.
(b)    Such Claim Certificate (i) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of Acquirer as of the date thereof, (ii) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Claim Certificate and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by Acquirer by delivering any updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as the delivery of the original Claim Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claims Certificate; provided that all claims for Indemnifiable Damages properly set forth in a Claim Certificate or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Stockholders’ Agent or the Converting Holders are materially prejudiced thereby.
8.6    Resolution of Objections to Claims.
(a)    If the Stockholders’ Agent does not contest, by written notice to Acquirer, any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within the 20-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then the Escrow Agent shall, upon Acquirer’s direction, distribute to Acquirer an amount of cash and a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock from the Escrow Fund having a total value equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate; provided that the per share value of any shares of Acquirer Common Stock distributed to satisfy any claims in a Claim Certificate under this Article VIII shall be the Acquirer Stock Price.
(b)    If the Stockholders’ Agent objects in writing to any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within the 20-day period set forth in Section 8.6(a), Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall attempt in good faith for 45 days after Acquirer’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Acquirer and the Stockholders’ Agent shall so agree, a joint written instruction setting forth such agreement shall be prepared, signed by both parties and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Acquirer an amount of cash and a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such joint written instruction.

73
    



(c)    If no such agreement can be reached during the 45-day period for good faith negotiation set forth in Section 8.6(b), but in any event upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Acquirer or the Stockholders’ Agent may bring an arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 9.11 to resolve the matter. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto and the Converting Holders, and Acquirer shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Acquirer an amount of cash and a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock from the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith.
(d)    Judgment upon any determination of an arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 8.6(d), in any suit hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Claim Certificate is at issue, Acquirer shall be deemed to be the prevailing party unless the arbitrator determines in favor of the Stockholders’ Agent (on behalf of the Converting Holders) with respect to more than one-half of the amount in dispute, in which case the Converting Holders shall be deemed to be the prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit.
8.7    Stockholders’ Agent.
(a)    At the Closing, Shareholder Representative Services LLC shall be constituted and appointed as the Stockholders’ Agent. The Stockholders’ Agent shall be the agent for and on behalf of the Converting Holders to: (i) execute, as the Stockholders’ Agent, this Agreement and any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the Transactions, (ii) give and receive notices, instructions and communications permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, for and on behalf of any Converting Holder, to or from Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions and any other matters contemplated by this Agreement or by such other agreement, document or instrument (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Converting Holder individually), (iii) review, negotiate and agree to and authorize Acquirer to reclaim an amount of cash from and/or cancel a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims) pursuant to this Article VIII, (iv) object to such claims pursuant to Section 8.6, (v) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims, resolve any such claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the Transactions by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Converting Holder or necessary in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, (vi) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Converting Holders, (vii) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Converting Holders (other than with respect to the payment and issuance of the Merger Consideration, as applicable) in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein,(viii) instruct the Escrow Agent to sell shares of Acquirer Common Stock in the Escrow Fund, (ix) review and approve any updates to the Spreadsheet or the Updated Spreadsheet in accordance with Section 5.8(b) and (x) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. Acquirer, the Merger Subs and their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the First Step Surviving Corporation and after the Second Effective

74
    



Time, the Final Surviving Entity) shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the Stockholders’ Agent and treat such Stockholders’ Agent as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Converting Holder and has having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Section 8.7. The Converting Holders shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Stockholders’ Agent in connection with this Article VIII, and Acquirer and other Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to rely exclusively on any action or decision of the Stockholders’ Agent. The Person serving as the Stockholders’ Agent may be removed or replaced from time to time, or if such Person resigns from its position as the Stockholders’ Agent, then a successor may be appointed, by the holders of a majority in interest of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock then held in the Escrow Fund upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Acquirer. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Agent. The Person serving as the Stockholders’ Agent may resign upon not less than 20 days’ prior written notice to Acquirer and the Converting Holders.
(b)    The Stockholders’ Agent shall not be liable to any Converting Holder for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Stockholders’ Agent while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Agent shall serve as the Stockholders’ Agent without compensation other than pursuant to the terms of that certain Engagement Agreement to be entered into by and among the Stockholders’ Agent, the Company and certain of the Converting Holders (the “SRS Engagement Agreement”); provided that the Converting Holders shall severally but not jointly indemnify the Stockholders’ Agent and hold it harmless against any loss, Liability, damage, claim, penalty, fine, forfeiture, action, fee, cost or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Agent and arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Stockholders’ Agent. If not paid directly to the Stockholders’ Agent by the Converting Holders, such losses, Liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Agent from the Stockholders’ Agent Expense Fund and, after the Stockholders’ Agent Expense Fund is fully depleted, from the portion of the Escrow Fund otherwise distributable to the Converting Holders (and not distributed or distributable to an Indemnified Person or subject to a pending indemnification claim of an Indemnified Person) on or after the Escrow Release Date pursuant to the terms hereof, at the time of distribution, and such recovery will be made from the Converting Holders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such losses, Liabilities or expenses. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholders’ Agent’s responsibilities, the Stockholders’ Agent will deliver any cash then remaining in the Stockholders’ Agent Expense Fund to the Escrow Agent (or, if all of the Escrow Fund has already been released, to the Paying Agent) for distribution to the Converting Holders. In no event will the Stockholders’ Agent be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Converting Holders or otherwise. The Converting Holders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Agent or the termination of this Agreement.
(c)    After the Closing, any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Stockholders’ Agent that is within the scope of the Stockholders’ Agent’s authority under Section 8.7(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Converting Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Converting Holder; and each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Converting

75
    



Holder. Acquirer, the Merger Subs, the Final Surviving Entity and the Indemnified Persons are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Stockholders’ Agent.
(d)    From time to time following the Closing, the Stockholders’ Agent may instruct the Escrow Agent by written notice (with copy to Acquirer) to sell shares of Acquirer Common Stock then in the Escrow Fund, and the proceeds of such sale shall be deposited in the Escrow Fund to constitute partial security for the benefit of Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Converting Holders under this Article VIII; provided that the Stockholders’ Agent shall not be permitted to so instruct the Escrow Agent at any time that the price of Acquirer Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq is below the Acquirer Stock Price. Upon consummation of such sale, the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver to Acquirer a written confirmation of the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock so sold and the amount of cash so deposited in the Escrow Fund, and Acquirer shall update the Updated Spreadsheet for (i) the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock then in the Escrow Fund and (ii) the allocation of such cash and stock with respect to each Converting Holder.
8.8    Third-Party Claims. In the event Acquirer becomes aware of a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that Acquirer in good faith believes may result in a claim for Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to this Article VIII by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Acquirer shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve such Third-Party Claim (and the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Acquirer in connection with such defense and negotiation of any settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs), but not the payments or any other costs of such settlement or resolution itself (unless such payments or costs are otherwise determined to be Indemnifiable Damages hereunder), shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which Acquirer shall be entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder, and such costs and expenses shall constitute Indemnifiable Damages subject to indemnification under Section 8.2 regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that such Third-Party Claim arose out of or resulted from a matter listed in Section 8.2(a); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Indemnifiable Damages (i) shall be so included with respect to a Third-Party Claim only to the extent that an Indemnified Person would be entitled to recover for such Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to a matter listed in Section 8.2(a) assuming such Third-Party Claim were ultimately determined in favor of the third party making such Third-Party Claim and (ii) such Indemnifiable Damages shall be subject to the same limitations contained in this Article VIII as the matter listed in Section 8.2(a) to which such indemnifiable Damages relates). The Stockholders’ Agent shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, subject to execution by the Stockholders’ Agent of Acquirer’s (and, if required, such third party’s) standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or propriety information. However, Acquirer shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine and conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim and the settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Third-Party Claim. Unless otherwise consented to in writing in advance by Acquirer in its sole discretion, the Stockholders’ Agent and its Affiliates may not participate in any Third-Party Claim or any action related to such Third-Party Claim (including any discussions or negotiations in connection with the settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof). Solely to the extent that either the Stockholders’ Agent has consented to the amount of any settlement or resolution by Acquirer of any such claim (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which consent shall be deemed to have been given unless the Stockholders’ Agent shall have objected within 20 days after a written request therefor by Acquirer), or if the Stockholders’ Agent shall have been determined to have unreasonably withheld

76
    



its consent to the amount of any such settlement or resolution, neither the Stockholders’ Agent nor any Converting Holder shall have any power or authority to object under this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person against the Escrow Fund for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution. If the Stockholders’ Agent reasonably objects to any such settlement, the existence or amount of Indemnifiable Damages shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.6.
8.9    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Acquirer, the Stockholders’ Agent and the Converting Holders agree to treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) any payment received by the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Article VIII as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.
ARTICLE IX

If the Merger is consummated, the representations and warranties made by the Company herein, in the Company Disclosure Letter (including any exhibit to or schedule of the Company Disclosure Letter) and in the other certificates contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, until the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date; provided that, regardless of any investigation or disclosure made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, (i) the Special Representations (other than the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.10 (Taxes)) will remain operative and in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (if later than the expiration of 12 months following the Closing Date) and (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.10 (Taxes) will remain operative and in full force and effect until the date that is six years following the Closing Date, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) for claims against the Converting Holders that seek recovery of Indemnifiable Damages arising out, resulting from or in connection with an inaccuracy in such representations or warranties; provided, further, that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII in respect of any claim that is set forth in a Claim Certificate delivered to the Stockholders’ Agent on or prior to the Escrow Release Date shall be affected by the expiration of such representations and warranties; provided, further, that such expiration shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Person under Article VIII or otherwise to seek recovery of Indemnifiable Damages arising out, resulting from or in connection with any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. If the Merger is consummated, the representations and warranties made by Acquirer herein and in the other certificates contemplated by this Agreement shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing. If the Merger is consummated, all covenants, agreements and obligations of the parties hereto shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing, except to the extent such covenants, agreements and obligations provide that they are to be performed after the Closing; provided that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article VIII in respect of any claim based upon any breach of a covenant, agreement or obligation shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant, agreement or obligation.

SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ENGLISH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION BY ONE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH RULES.

(b)    Subject to the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of California, the place where this Agreement was entered and is to be performed, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to herein, and in respect of the Transactions, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a California State or Federal court. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. With respect to any particular action, suit or proceeding, venue shall lie solely in the County of Santa Clara, California. A party hereto may apply either to a court of competent jurisdiction or to an arbitrator, if one has been appointed, for prejudgment remedies and emergency relief pending final determination of a claim pursuant to this Section 9.11. The appointment

81
    



of an arbitrator does not preclude a party hereto from seeking prejudgment remedies and emergency relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
9.12    Governing Law. This Agreement, all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and all obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law that would refer a matter to a different jurisdiction; provided that any matters related to the effectiveness of the Merger shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law that would refer a matter to a different jurisdiction.

9.14    Effectiveness of Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates certain provisions of the Original Agreement and restates the terms of the Original Agreement in their entirety. All amendments to the Original Agreement effected by this Agreement, and all other covenants, agreements, terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall have effect as of the Agreement Date, unless expressly stated herein otherwise, and all representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article II and of Acquirer and Merger Subs set forth in Article III shall be deemed made as of the Agreement Date (and not as of the date of this Agreement or any other date), unless expressly stated herein otherwise.
