WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller wishes to sell, assign and transfer to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to purchase from the Seller all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets (as defined below) and the Buyer is willing to assume from the Seller the Assumed Liabilities (as defined below), all as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, as a condition and an inducement to the Buyer entering into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller and its officers have entered into non-competition agreements with the Buyer, dated as of the date hereof, which agreements shall become effective at and contingent upon the Closing (each, a “Post-Closing Non-Competition Agreement”), and its directors have entered into non-disclosure agreements with the Buyer, dated as of the date hereof, which agreements shall become effective at and contingent upon the Closing (each, a “Post-Closing Non-Disclosure Agreement”) and Messrs.

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Seller shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyer, and relinquish to the Buyer in perpetuity, free and clear of all Liens, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets. As used in this Agreement, the term “Acquired Assets” means all of the assets,

 

-1-

(a) all right, title and interest in, to and under (i) all Contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(i) attached hereto; (ii) all non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, assignment of invention and similar Contracts to which the Seller is a party or is entitled to rights thereunder, the primary purpose of which are to provide for non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, assignment of invention or similar covenants running in favor of the Seller; (iii) all customer Contracts entered into by the Seller between the date of this Agreement and the Closing; and (iv) any other Contract entered into by the Seller between the date of this Agreement and the Closing which the Buyer, in its sole discretion, agrees in writing prior to the Closing shall constitute an “Assigned Contract” pursuant to this Section 1.1(a) (the “Assigned Contracts”);

1.7 Consents of Third Parties.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor any such Related Agreement shall constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise transfer, or require the Buyer to assume any obligations under, any Assigned Contract if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would, without the consent of a third party to such assignment or transfer, constitute a breach thereof, would be ineffective, would affect adversely the rights of the Buyer thereunder or would violate any applicable Law. If any such consent has not been obtained as of the Closing Date and the Buyer nevertheless determines to proceed with the Closing, the Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain such consent following the Closing, and the Buyer will provide reasonable cooperation to the Seller in seeking to obtain any such consent. The Seller shall pay and discharge any and all out-of-pocket costs or expenses of seeking to obtain or obtaining any such consent or approval before the Closing Date.

(b) If any Assigned Contract is not transferred to the Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for the Buyer all of the benefits of, and to have the Buyer assume the obligations to the extent set forth in Section 1.3 with respect to, such Assigned Contract. In such event, until such consent has been obtained, (i) the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform in the Seller’s name (as applicable) all of such obligations; provided, however, that the Buyer shall not be required to take any action in performing such obligations which, in the Buyer’s reasonable judgment, would subject the Buyer to an unreasonable risk of incurring a Liability and (ii) the Seller shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Buyer to enforce for the benefit of the Buyer any and all rights of the Seller with respect to any such Assigned Contract.

(a) Any Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE VII (an “Indemnified Person”) shall give each party from whom indemnification is being sought (each, an “Indemnifying Person”) notice of any matter (a “Notice of Claim”) which such Indemnified Person has determined has given rise to or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the Loss, if known (a “Loss Estimate”), and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such matter; provided, however, that the failure so to provide such Notice of Claim will not relieve the Indemnifying Person from Liability under this Agreement except, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Person results in the actual and material impairment or loss of rights and defenses that would have otherwise been available to the Indemnifying Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim shall be brought under this ARTICLE VII with respect to an event of indemnification described in Section 7.2(a) unless an Indemnified Person, at any time prior to the applicable Survival Date, gives the Indemnifying Person(s) a Notice of Claim with respect to such claim. If a Notice of Claim has been given on or prior to the applicable Survival Date, the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

(b) Claims for indemnification hereunder resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The Indemnified Person may defend any Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing, at the Indemnifying Person’s cost, and shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment in handling such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Person elects not to defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall promptly provide notice to the Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Person shall have ten (10) days to advise the Indemnified Person whether the Indemnifying Person accepts the defense

 

-53-


of such claim, and the Indemnifying Person shall have no obligation to the Indemnified Person for legal fees incurred by the Indemnified Person after the date of any assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Person. If the Indemnifying Person determines to accept the defense of such Third Party Claim, it shall defend such Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choice that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and at its own expense, provided that, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Person fails to undertake the defense of or settle or pay any such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person has given written notice to the Indemnifying Person of the claim, or if the Indemnifying Person, after having given such notification to the Indemnified Person, fails within ten (10) days, or at any time thereafter, to defend to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Person, settle or pay such claim, then the Indemnified Person may take any and all necessary action to dispose of such claim at the Indemnifying Person’s cost. The Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall make available to each other and their counsel and accountants all books and records and information relating to any Third Party Claims, keep each other apprised as to the details and progress of all proceedings relating thereto and render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any and all Third Party Claims.

(ii) The party controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim may settle such Third Party Claim on any terms which it may deem reasonable, provided that, an Indemnifying Person shall not without the Indemnified Person’s prior written consent settle or compromise such proceeding, claim or demand, or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Person of a written release from all liability in respect of such proceeding, claim or demand.

7.5 Fraud and Related Claims; Characterization of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit, impair, modify or otherwise affect the rights of an Indemnified Person to bring any claim, demand, suit or cause of action otherwise available to such Indemnified Person based upon, or to seek or recover any Losses arising from or related to, nor shall any of the limitations set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 apply with respect to, an allegation or allegations of fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation, in connection with this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Subject to the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that, absent fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation, the remedies provided in this ARTICLE VII shall be the exclusive remedies of the Buyer Indemnified Persons and Seller Indemnified Persons after the Closing in connection with any breach of this Agreement by the Seller or Buyer, as applicable, except remedies of specific performance, injunction and other equitable relief. The parties agree that any payment pursuant to an indemnification obligation under this ARTICLE VII shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under this ARTICLE VII is determined to be taxable to a Buyer Indemnified Person, the Seller shall also indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Person for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Person in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).

 

-54-


7.6 Insurance Claims If Losses with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 7.2 may be covered by an insurance policy of the Seller, at the request of a Buyer Indemnified Person and without further consideration, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek and recover all payments under any such insurance policy to which the Seller may be entitled with respect to such Losses and pay over such amounts to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Person, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3(b).

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Entire Agreement This Agreement, together with its schedules and exhibits, the Related Agreements and all other ancillary agreements, documents and instruments to be delivered in connection herewith contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, either oral or written; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution of this Agreement until the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, at which time it shall terminate with respect to any Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) included in the Acquired Assets, it being understood that any Confidential Information that is not included in the Acquired Assets shall remain subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Without limiting the generality of foregoing and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no party is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements other than those set forth in this Agreement or in the Related Agreements and no party is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by any other party except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or in the Related Agreements. The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding any access to information by any party or any right of any party to this Agreement to investigate the affairs of any other party to this Agreement, the party having such access and right to investigate shall have the right to rely fully upon the representations and warranties of the other party expressly contained in this Agreement and on the accuracy of any schedule, exhibit or other document attached hereto or referred to herein or delivered by such other party or pursuant to this Agreement.

 

-56-


9.2 Assignment The Seller shall not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder, or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Buyer. The Buyer may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder, or delegate any of its obligations hereunder; provided that, no such assignment or transfer shall relieve the Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the rights and obligations set forth herein shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties hereto, and each of their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns.

9.3 Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of all parties, but all of which counterparts when taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission, electronic mail in portable document format, or other means intended to preserve the original graphic content of a signature. Each counterpart so executed shall have the legal effect of an original signature.

9.4 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial This Agreement shall be governed by the Laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdictions) that would cause application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in any state or federal court sitting in the State of California. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of California and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect to such Action may be heard and determined exclusively in any California state or federal court sitting in the Southern District of California. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents to service of process by delivery pursuant to Section 9.8 hereof and agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

9.5 Specific Performance The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique transactions and any failure on the part of any party to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms of this Agreement will not be fully compensable in damages and the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the other parties hereto irreparable harm. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies available to the parties hereto for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of this Agreement and seek an injunction restraining any such party from such breach or threatened breach, without the need to post a bond or other collateral.

The term “$” shall mean dollars of the United States of America. As used herein, all pronouns shall include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural thereof whenever the context and facts require such construction.

9.7 Severability If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

EXHIBIT F

FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT

This Escrow Agreement (“Agreement”) dated September 28, 2012, is made and entered into by and among Cardium Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cardium”), To Go Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Seller”), (referred to collectively herein as the “Interested Parties”) and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Escrow Agent”).

A. This Agreement is being entered into in connection with that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) dated as of September 28, 2012, by and among Cardium, MedPodium Health Products, Inc., and Seller. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the APA.

B. In consideration of the Acquired Assets and other consideration set forth in the APA, Cardium has agreed to pay Purchaser up to Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Cardium’s authorized but unissued common stock (the “Shares”) valued at up to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) at a purchase price per share equal to the greater of Twenty-Five cents ($0.25) or the Fifteen Day VWAP as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date less an adjustment to account for Retained Cash as provided under Section 1.1(d) of the APA, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the APA and this Agreement.

C. Pursuant to the APA and to secure payment of Buyer’s right to indemnification under Article VII of the APA, Cardium shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent twelve and one half percent (12.5%) of the number of Shares (the “Claim Shares”) to be held as a reserve for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”), which shall be subject to transfer, cancellation or release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

D. Pursuant to the APA, Cardium shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent the remaining eighty seven and one half percent (87.5%) of the Shares (the “Remaining Shares”), which shall be held in escrow and released to Seller in a series of 12 equal monthly installments beginning six months following the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

ENGAGEMENT OF THE ESCROW AGENT

The Escrow Agent is hereby engaged to act as escrow agent hereunder, and the Escrow Agent agrees to act as such.

 

EXHIBIT F – FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT


ARTICLE II

THE ESCROW FUND

2.1 Establishment of Escrow, Maintenance and Voting of the Claim Shares.

(a) Cardium will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent:

(i) the Claim Shares by instructing the transfer agent to issue such Claim Shares in book-entry form into the name of the Escrow Agent for the benefit of Seller and Buyer Indemnified Persons; and

(ii) the Remaining Shares by instructing the transfer agent to issue the Remaining Shares in book-entry form into the name of the Escrow Agent, which the Escrow Agent shall hold in escrow and release to Seller in a series of 12 equal monthly installments beginning six months following the Closing Date.

(b) Any distributions of the Shares shall be made in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

(c) Prior to distribution, the Shares will be voted according to the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer of Cardium and the Escrow Agent shall have the authority to and shall vote the Shares accordingly.

 

  (d) Any cash dividends paid in connection with any of the Shares shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of Seller and be released to Seller in connection with the release of the corresponding Shares pursuant to Section 2.2.

 

  (e) In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of the common stock of Cardium other than a regular cash dividend, the Claim Shares and Remaining Shares shall be appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis, provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall have received notice of such stock split or other action and shall have received the appropriate number of additional shares of the Shares or other property pursuant the terms of this Section.

2.2 Distribution of the Shares; Resolution of Claims.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Claim Shares and Remaining Shares in its possession until authorized to make distributions therefrom in accordance with this Section 2.2. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.2, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Claim Shares, or any portion thereof, only in accordance with (i) joint written instructions from the Seller and the Buyer or (ii) a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitral panel, with respect to any arbitrated disputes, in the United States of America (the time for appeal having expired with no appeal having been taken) in a proceeding to which the Interested Parties are parties.

 

2   EXHIBIT F – FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT


(b) On the date that is six months following the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall cause to be delivered to Seller in Seller’s name 1/12 of the Remaining Shares, which shall contain a restricted securities legend. Thereafter, on the same day of the month of each of the next 11 months, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller an additional 1/12 of the Remaining Shares (with a restricted securities legend), such that on the one year anniversary of the date that is six months following the Closing Date the entirety of the Remaining Shares shall have been delivered to Seller.

(c) If Cardium, MedPodium Health Products, Inc.,or other affiliate, subsidiary, or successor in interest of Cardium (the “Claiming Person”) asserts a right of indemnity against the Seller in accordance with Article VII of the APA, or for Losses arising from Legal Claims, or for any breaches of warranties by Seller for which such Claiming Person seeks recovery from the Claim Shares (individually a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”), such Claiming Person may deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy being sent to the Seller) a written notice to such effect (a “Notice of Claim”) describing the Claim and identifying the date on which the Notice of Claim was delivered to Seller in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof.

(d) For the purposes of this section 2.2, the value of the Claim Shares shall be calculated based on the greater of Twenty-Five cents ($0.25) per share or the Fifteen Day VWAP as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Claim Share Value”) which Claim Share Value shall be supplemented by the value of any distributions which may be made in connection with the Claim Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(d). The Claim Share Value shall be used to calculate the number of shares (the “Claimed Shares”) which are to be cancelled or returned to Cardium or its designee at its election, in satisfaction of a Claim.

(e) Unless the Notice of Claim is objected to in a writing explaining in detail the basis for any objection (an “Escrow Objection Notice”), delivered by Seller to Cardium and to the Escrow Agent within ten (10) days following delivery of the Notice of Claim in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall cancel or return the Claimed Shares, as specified in the Notice of Claim.

(f) In the event that the Interested Parties cannot reach agreement within thirty (30) days following the Escrow Objection Notice, and in order to encourage the Interested Parties to resolve any such dispute without resorting to legal action, the parties agree to submit any dispute between them regarding the Claimed Shares (an “Escrow Dispute”) to mediation before a mutually-agreeable Judicate West mediator handling commercial disputes in San Diego, California rather than filing any legal action. In the event that the parties cannot agree on such a Judicate West mediator, then the mediator proposed by each of the parties shall meet and they shall select a mediator to handle the matter (the “Mediator”). The Mediator shall attempt to bring the parties to a mutually-agreeable resolution of the dispute. In the event the parties cannot reach agreement, the Mediator shall request confidential position statements from each party, including any additional documentation deemed pertinent by the Mediator, and shall thereafter deliver a proposed Mediator’s settlement to the parties. Each party shall advance the costs equivalent to one full day of mediation (representing two full days in total) to the Mediator or Judicate West, as applicable, prior to the mediation. In the event the parties reach agreement, any excess amount paid shall be returned equally to the parties. In the event the parties do not reach agreement, any excess of amount paid shall be returned to the party whose final proposal as reflected in its position statement is closest to that of the Mediator’s proposed settlement, any

 

3   EXHIBIT F – FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT


amount remaining due shall be paid by the party whose final proposal as reflected in its position statement is furthest from that proposed in the Mediator’s settlement, and the matter shall be submitted to binding arbitration using the same selection procedure and dispute resolution process as described above, provided that each party shall advance the costs equivalent to two full days of time (representing four full days in total) with the selected arbitrator (“the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator shall attempt to bring the parties to a mutually-agreeable resolution of the dispute. In the event the parties cannot reach agreement, the Arbitrator shall request confidential position statements from each party, including any additional documentation deemed pertinent by the Arbitrator, and shall thereafter deliver a proposed Arbitrator’s settlement to the parties. In the event the parties reach agreement on the Arbitrator’s proposed settlement, any excess amount paid shall be returned equally to the parties. In the event the parties do not reach agreement, any excess of amount paid shall be returned to the party whose final proposal as reflected in its position statement is closest to that of the Arbitrator’s proposed settlement, any amount remaining due shall be paid by the party whose final proposal as reflected in its position statement is furthest from that proposed in the Arbitrator’s proposed settlement. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be deemed be final and binding against the Interested Parties, and shall be carried out by the Escrow Agent.

(g) Promptly following the Escrow Release Date, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Seller the entire then remaining balance, if any, of the Claim Shares and any distributions made in connection with such shares pursuant to Section 2.1(d); provided, however, that if any Notices of Claim have been delivered in accordance with Section 2.2(c) prior to the Escrow Release Date but the Claims specified therein have not been resolved or settled prior to the Escrow Release Date (the “Remaining Claims”), the Escrow Agent will retain in the Claim Shares an amount equal to all Claimed Amounts specified in such Remaining Claims (the “Remaining Claimed Amounts”) and distribute the balance to Seller. Any portion of the Claim Shares which shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be so held until such time as all Remaining Claims hereunder have been settled or resolved.

(h) Under no circumstances shall the Escrow Agent be required to release or distribute any portion of the Claim Shares or take any action under this Agreement sooner than five (5) Business Days after the Escrow Agent has received the requisite notices or other required documents in good form, or passage of the applicable claims period or release date, as the case may be.

(i) Under no circumstances shall the Escrow Agent be required to calculate the Claim Share Value.

(j) No fractional shares of Cardium shall be retained in or released from the Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement. In connection with any release of Claim Shares or Remaining Shares from escrow, Cardium and the Escrow Agent shall “round down” in order to avoid retaining any fractional shares in the [Escrow Account] and in order to avoid releasing any fractional shares from escrow. When shares are “rounded down,” no cash-in-lieu payments need to be made.

ARTICLE III

TERMINATION

This Agreement shall automatically terminate if and when the entirety of the Claim Shares shall have been completely distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

THE ESCROW AGENT

4.1 Escrow Agent Responsibilities.

(a) The Escrow Agent and its agent and affiliates shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel, statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed in good faith by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by Seller and Cardium. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by Seller and Cardium. In performing any duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent and its affiliates and agents shall not be liable to any party for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, occasioned by a breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages, losses, or expenses, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy, the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any respect or on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property paid or delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof, if in all cases the Escrow Agent acts in good faith, using reasonable judgment.

(c) The Escrow Agent may at any time resign and thereupon be discharged of its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder by giving thirty (30) calendar days written notice thereof to the other parties hereto and transferring the Claim Shares and any Remaining Shares and any other documents or items held by it hereunder to a successor agent designated by all parties. Such resignation shall not take effect until receipt by the Escrow Agent of an instrument of acceptance executed by a successor escrow agent and subscribed and consented to by each of the parties hereto and delivery of the documents and items held hereunder by the Escrow Agent to such successor. Any successor escrow agent appointed hereunder shall be jointly designated by Seller and Cardium. The Escrow Agent shall also be discharged of its duties and obligations hereunder upon deposit of all documents and items held hereunder to, and acceptance thereof, by any court in San Diego County, California having jurisdiction over the parties hereto and willing to accept same. In addition, Seller and Cardium acting together may jointly discharge the Escrow Agent at any time during the term hereof upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice.

 

5   EXHIBIT F – FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT


(d) Upon delivery of all or any portion of the documents or items held hereunder by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of any and all further obligations hereunder in respect to the portion so delivered.

(e) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Escrow Agent and its successors and assigns. The Escrow Agent may perform its duties through its agents and affiliates. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or obligations hereunder except as expressly set forth herein, shall be responsible only for the performance of such duties and obligations, shall not be required to take any action otherwise than in accordance with the terms hereof and shall not in any manner be liable or responsible for any loss or damage arising by reason of any act or omission by it or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to any loss that may occur by reason of forgery, false representations or the exercise of its discretion in any particular manner or for any other reason, except for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct, unlawful act, or failure to act in good faith.

(f) The Escrow Agent shall receive the sum of $3,500 for its services rendered hereunder, so long as the time spent in the performance of its duties hereunder does not exceed fifteen (15) hours. The Escrow Agent shall keep records of the time spent in the performance of its services hereunder and shall submit a monthly statement of same to both Seller and Cardium. If the services of the Escrow Agent shall exceed fifteen (15) hours in the aggregate, then the Escrow Agent shall be paid for such excess hours at the rate of $125 per hour. All fees for the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder are to be paid one-half by Cardium and one-half by Seller.

(g) Disputes. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise between the parties to this Agreement or the APA, with respect to the delivery, ownership, right of possession and/or disposition of the Shares, should any claim be made upon such Shares by a third party or should the Escrow Agent be unable to determine, to the Escrow Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, the proper disposition of any portion of the Shares or the Escrow Agent’s proper actions with respect to its obligations hereunder, then Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions:

 

  (i) suspend the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole satisfaction of the Escrow Agent; or

 

  (ii) petition (by means of interpleader action or any other appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction, for instructions with respect to such dispute or uncertainty, and pay into or deposit with such court all disputed Shares held by it in the Escrow for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of the court.

The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to the parties to this Agreement or to the APA or any other person with respect to any such suspension or performance or disbursement into court,

 

6   EXHIBIT F – FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT


specifically including any liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of any delay in the disbursement of the Shares held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement or any delay in or with respect to any other action required of or requested of the Escrow Agent.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION

Without determining or limiting any rights as between the Interested Parties, but subject to the provisions of Articles VI and VII, each of the Interested Parties covenants and agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Escrow Agent (and its directors, officers and employees) and hold it (and such directors, officers and employees) harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost and expense of any nature incurred by the Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or with the administration of its duties hereunder, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of defending or preparing to defend against any claim of liability unless and except to the extent such loss, liability, damage, cost and expense shall be caused by the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, occasioned by a breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

6.1 Obligations of the Interested Parties. Without determining or limiting any rights as between the Interested Parties, each of the Interested Parties agrees severally, and not jointly, (i) to assume any and all obligations now or hereafter arising under any applicable tax law with respect to any payment or distribution of the Claim Shares or Remaining Shares to, or performance of other activities under this Agreement by, such Interested Party, (ii) to instruct the Escrow Agent in writing with respect to the Escrow Agent’s responsibility for withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, and to instruct the Escrow Agent with respect to any certifications and governmental reporting that may be required under any laws or regulations that may be applicable in connection with its action as Escrow Agent under this Agreement, and (iii) to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from any liability or obligation on account of taxes, assessments, additions for late payment, interest, penalties, expenses and other governmental charges that may be assessed or asserted against the Escrow Agent in connection with or relating to any payment made or other activities performed under the terms of this Agreement including, without limitation, any liability for the withholding or deduction of (or the failure to withhold or deduct) the same, and any liability for failure to obtain proper certifications or to report properly to governmental authorities in connection with this Agreement, including costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), interest and penalties, to the extent that it relates to such individual Interested Party. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or the removal of the Escrow Agent.

 

7   EXHIBIT F – FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT


6.2 Treatment of Earnings. The Interested Parties agree that Seller will be treated for federal, state and local income and other tax purposes as owning the Claim Shares and the Remaining Shares, and agree that all earnings, if any, with respect thereto will be reported by the Escrow Agent as earnings of Seller whether or not distributed. On or promptly after the date hereof, the Seller shall provide the Escrow Agent with a completed IRS Form W-9 certifying thereon the Seller’s taxpayer identification number. The Seller acknowledges that withholding of a portion of the earnings on the Claim Shares and the Remaining Shares may be required for federal, state or local income tax purposes in the event the Seller fails to certify its taxpayer identification number to the Escrow Agent.

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTES

If any dispute should arise with respect to the distribution or ownership or right of possession of all or any portion the Remaining Shares or the Claim Shares (including, without limitation, any Contested Claim), or the duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or should any claim be made upon the Escrow Agent, the Remaining Shares or the Claim Shares by any third party, the Escrow Agent is authorized and shall be entitled (at its sole option and election) to retain in its possession, without liability to anyone, all or any part of the Remaining Shares and the Claim Shares in dispute until such dispute shall have been settled either by mutual agreement of the Interested Parties (evidenced by appropriate instructions in writing to the Escrow Agent signed by the Interested Parties) or by the final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitral panel, with respect to any arbitrated disputes, in the United States of America (the time for appeal having expired with no appeal having been taken) in a proceeding to which the Interested Parties are parties, but the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings.

ARTICLE VIII

The Stockholder may vote the Shares on all other matters not referred to in this proxy, and the attorneys and proxies named above may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters.

This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Stockholder (including any transferee of any of the Shares).

Any term or provision of this proxy that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Stockholder agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this proxy shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Stockholder agrees to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
