1.8 Treatment of Company Options and Company Warrants.
(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option shall become fully vested and exercisable in full.

(b) The Company shall comply with all provisions of the Company Warrants applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall provide any notices to the holders of such Company Warrants as required therein. At the Effective Time, each unexercised Company Warrant shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, the sum of (i) (A) the Per Share Closing Merger Consideration Amount, minus (B) the exercise price of such Company Warrant (the Closing Net Warrant Payment), plus (ii) the Per Share Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, if any, pursuant to the terms of Section 1.13, plus (iii) the Per Share Earnout Amount, if any, pursuant to the terms of Section 1.14, plus (iv) the Per Share Escrow Release Amount, if any, pursuant to the terms of Section 8.8, plus (v) the Per Share Expense Fund Distribution Amount, if any, pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2(b), (it being understood that, if the exercise price payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock subject to any Company Warrant exceeds the sum of Per Share Closing Merger Consideration Amount, the Per Share Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Per Share Earnout Amount, the Per Share Escrow Release Amount, and the Per Share Expense Fund Distribution Amount, then the amount payable hereunder with respect to such Company Warrant shall be zero).

5
release of claims and covenant not to sue in favor of the Company and its Affiliates in respect of such Company Warrants held by such holder and (b) to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Company Securityholders, including the indemnification obligations of Company Securityholders under Article VIII hereunder.
1.9 Surrender of Certificates.
(a) At the Effective Time, (i) all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, (ii) no holder of record of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock (a Certificate) shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company and (iii) each Certificate (x) representing any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares as set forth in this Agreement and (y) representing any Dissenting Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the payments described in Section 1.7.
(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited with a paying agent designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the Paying Agent), for the benefit of Company Stockholders, an amount in cash sufficient in the aggregate to provide all funds necessary for the Paying Agent to pay the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(a). From and after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall act as the agent of Parent and the Surviving Corporation in effecting any amounts to be paid under this Agreement and the exchange of the Certificates.
(c) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal specifying that delivery shall be deemed to have occurred, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree prior to the Effective Time (such letter of transmittal to include (A) the applicable Company Stockholders release of claims and covenant not to sue in favor of the Company and its Affiliates in respect of such Company Common Stock held by such holder and (B) the applicable Company Stockholders agreement be bound by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Company Securityholders, including the indemnification obligations of Company Securityholders under Article VIII hereunder) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the applicable amount of the Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6(a). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a payment of the applicable amount provided in Section 1.6(a) with respect to such Certificate (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings pursuant to Section 1.11) and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Parent shall, no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of each properly surrendered Certificate, cause the Paying Agent to make the payment of the applicable amount of the Closing Merger Consideration provided in Section 1.6 to the holder of such Certificate, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such holder in the letter of transmittal delivered with such Certificate. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive a payment of the applicable amount provided in Section 1.6. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.9. No interest shall be paid or accrued after the Effective Time on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. If payment is to be made to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the
6
person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax was paid or is not applicable.
(d) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall thereafter be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the records of the Company. After the Effective Time, no transfer of Company Common Stock shall thereafter be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, payable as set forth in this Agreement.
(e) Any portion of the funds received by the Paying Agent (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) which remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders for six (6) months after the date of payment to the Paying Agent shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any Company Stockholder that has not theretofore surrendered any Certificate and submitted a letter of transmittal in accordance with the requirements set forth therein and in this Article I, or otherwise received any portion of the Merger Consideration due and payable to such Company Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement, shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings pursuant to Section 1.11 and without any interest thereon) upon due surrender of any applicable Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.9(e), none of Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Securityholder Representative Committee, the Paying Agent or any other person shall be liable to any Company Stockholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Laws.
1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by such record holder, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay to the record holder of such Certificate the applicable payment of the applicable amounts of the Closing Merger Consideration provided in Section 1.6 to be paid in respect of the shares represented thereby upon due surrender of and deliverable in respect of the shares represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement and such person also shall be entitled to the right to receive the applicable portion, if any, of the Escrow Release Amount, the Expense Fund Distribution Amount, the Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount and the Earnout Payment; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such consideration, require such record holder to provide an affidavit of loss and indemnify the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate.
1.11 Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any portion of any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Securityholder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts (a) shall be timely remitted by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent to the applicable Governmental Entity and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Company Securityholder.
1.12 Tax Treatment. The parties shall treat all payments made to the Company Stockholders as consideration in exchange for the applicable Company Stockholders shares of Company Common Stock (excluding any imputed interest) for all Tax reporting purposes.
1.13 Working Capital Adjustment.

Prior to the Closing, the Company and Parent shall discuss any objections of Parent to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement in good faith, it being understood that in the event of any disagreement, the Companys determination of the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount shall be used for purposes of determining the Closing Merger Consideration payable at Closing. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistent with the line items set forth in Exhibit D (as applicable) and, to the extent consistent with GAAP and Exhibit D, using the same accounting principles, practices, methodologies and policies, including the use of the same line items and line item entries, set forth on and used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements. The principles, practices, methodologies and policies determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence are referred to herein as the Transaction Accounting Principles.
(b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Securityholder Representative Committee a balance sheet of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. pacific time on the Closing Date (the Closing Balance Sheet) and a statement (the Post-Closing Working Capital Statement), setting forth Parents determination of the Closing Working Capital and each component thereof, prepared and calculated in good faith and in the manner and on a basis consistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles.
(c) During the thirty (30)-day period following delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Working Capital Statement to the Securityholder Representative Committee, Parent will allow the Securityholder Representative Committee (and its Representatives) reasonable access to such books, records, work papers, employees and accountants of Parent and the Surviving Corporation used in or who have information used in calculating the amounts set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Working Capital Statement as the Securityholder Representative Committee may reasonably request (including by electronic means, to the extent available), and shall provide such other cooperation as reasonably requested by the Securityholder Representative Committee.
(d) Within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Securityholder Representative Committee of the Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Working Capital Statement, the Securityholder Representative Committee shall deliver written notice to Parent of any dispute the Securityholder Representative Committee has with respect to the preparation or content of the Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Working Capital Statement. If the Securityholder Representative Committee does not so notify Parent of a dispute with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Working Capital Statement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Working Capital Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Company Securityholders and the Securityholder Representative Committee. In the event of such notification of a dispute, Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) days after the Securityholder Representative Committee advised Parent of its objections, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee jointly shall engage a mutually agreed upon accounting firm (the Independent Accounting Firm) to resolve such dispute.

All costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative Committee, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of such items so submitted.

Any failure to so notify the other party of any Tax Contest shall not limit any of the indemnification obligations under Article VIII (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Tax Contest). Parent shall have the right to control the conduct of all Tax Contests, including any settlement or compromise thereof; provided, however, that Parent shall keep the Securityholder Representative Committee reasonably informed of the progress of any Tax Contest and Parent shall not resolve such Tax Contest in a manner that could reasonably be expected to increase the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties liability pursuant to this Agreement without the Securityholder Representative Committees written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

8.2 Escrow and Expense Fund Amount Deposit.
(a) Promptly following the Closing, and without any act of the Company Securityholders (the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties), Parent shall deposit the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent. Parent will be deemed to have contributed on behalf of each Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party, his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Fund to be governed under the terms set forth in this Agreement and in the Escrow Agreement. The parties hereto agree that, for Tax purposes, Parent shall be the owner of any cash in the Escrow Fund, and that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of such cash pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as earned by Parent; provided, however, that 45% of the earnings in the escrow shall be distributed to Parent to enable Parent to pay any Tax liability associated with such earnings. The parties hereto further intend for the Escrow Amount to qualify for installment sale reporting under Section 453 of the Code, and will treat the Escrow Amount consistent with the foregoing for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
(b) Promptly following the Closing, and without any act of any Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party, Parent shall deposit the Expense Fund Amount with the Escrow Agent, to be held by the Escrow Agent and released on the instructions of the Securityholder Representative Committee for the payment of expenses incurred by the Securityholder Representative Committee in performing its duties pursuant to this Agreement (including any obligations of the Securityholder Representative Committee on behalf of the Company Securityholders under Section 5.12). Parent will be deemed to have contributed on behalf of each Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party, his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the Expense Fund Amount for retention by the Escrow Agent. The Securityholder Representative Committee shall, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to transfer any of the Expense Fund Amount originally deposited with the Escrow Agent at the Closing that has not been used by the Securityholder Representative Committee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the date on which all indemnification claims of the Indemnified Parties outstanding at the Escrow Termination Date have been discharged in full (such amount, if any, the Expense Fund Distribution Amount) to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, less any required withholding of Taxes under applicable Law. If any withholding pursuant to applicable Law is required in connection with such payments, Parent shall coordinate with the Securityholder Representative Committee to make such payments (and effect such withholding) through its or the Surviving Corporations payroll system. Notwithstanding else herein to the contrary, such remaining portion of the Expense Fund shall not be deemed part of the Escrow Fund and shall not be available to satisfy any indemnification or other obligations to Parent hereunder. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall have any liability or obligation with respect to the use of the Expense Fund Amount by the Securityholder Representative Committee or otherwise.
8.3 Indemnification.
(a) From and after the Closing, each of the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties shall severally (in accordance with his, her or its respective Pro Rata Portion), and not jointly, indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parties against, and hold each of the Parent Indemnified Parties harmless from, any Losses incurred or suffered by any such Parent Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from:

(v) any amounts that a Company Securityholder is entitled to receive in connection with the Merger pursuant to a Contract with the Company, any Law or otherwise, that is in excess of the amount indicated on the Merger Consideration Certificate, including Losses resulting from the defense of any such indemnifiable claims with respect to such amounts or demands for appraisal; and
(vi) those matters set forth on Section 8.3(a)(vi) of the of the Disclosure Schedule.

(i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement; and
(ii) any failure by Parent or Merger Sub to perform or comply with any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
8.4 Indemnification Limitations.
(a) The Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to any of the Parent Indemnified Parties in respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) or Section 8.3(a)(ii) (the General Claims) (other than claims (x) of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (y) with respect to Fundamental Representations) until the aggregate amount of all Losses for which all Parent Indemnified Parties otherwise would be entitled to indemnification with respect to General Claims exceeds $82,500, in the aggregate (the Deductible Amount), after which the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover solely those Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount. The Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties maximum liability to the Parent Indemnified Parties in respect of General Claims (other than with respect to claims (x) of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (y) with respect to Company Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed $18,000,000 in the aggregate (the Cap). The Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties indemnification obligations to the Parent Indemnified Parties in respect of General Claims shall be satisfied solely and exclusively from the Escrow Fund and no Parent Indemnified Party shall have any recourse directly against any Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party in respect of General Claims (other than with respect to claims (x) of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (y) with respect to Company Fundamental Representations).
(b) The Parent Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to any of the Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties in respect of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(i) (i) until the aggregate amount of all Losses for which all Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties otherwise would be entitled to indemnification with respect to such claims exceeds the Deductible Amount, in the aggregate, after which the Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover solely those Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount, and (ii) to the extent that the aggregate amount of such claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.3(b)(i) exceeds the Cap.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Deductible Amount nor the Cap shall apply to or limit the obligations of the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties in connection

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Deductible Amount nor the Cap shall apply to or limit the obligations of the Parent Indemnifying Parties in connection with any claim for indemnification by the Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties (i) pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(i) in respect of any Parent Fundamental Representation; (ii) pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(ii); or (iii) with respect to claims of fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the aggregate maximum liability of the Parent Indemnifying Parties to any of the Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to the Merger Consideration payable hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for all purposes under this Article VIII, each representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement (other than the representation set forth in Section 2.7(a) (Absence of Certain Changes or Events)) shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any knowledge, material, materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect standard or other similar qualification contained in such representation or warranty, including for purposes of determining the amount of Losses indemnifiable hereunder and whether a representation or warranty has been breached or is inaccurate.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties to the Parent Indemnified Parties: (i) no claim, offset, retention or withholding may be made for any Loss related to or arising from the amount, value or condition of any net operating loss carry-forward or tax credit carry-forward of the Company or Company Subsidiary or the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates to utilize such net operating loss carry-forward or tax credit carry-forward; (ii) any Losses of the Parent Indemnified Parties and the Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties shall be reduced in amount by any (A) Tax Benefits actually realized by any Parent Indemnified Party or Company Securityholder Indemnified Party, as applicable, in the Tax year in which such Losses are reported as determined in good faith by the Parent Indemnified Party or Company Securityholder Indemnified Party, as applicable, and (B) insurance proceeds actually realized by any Parent Indemnified Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Corporation and Company Subsidiary) or any Company Securityholder Indemnified Party, as applicable, and Parent and the Parent Indemnified Parties or the Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to realize any such Tax Benefits or insurance proceeds (for purposes of this Agreement, a Tax Benefit shall mean a reduction in Tax liability in the year the Loss was incurred as a result of incurring the Loss attributable thereto), (iii) neither the Parent Indemnified Parties nor the Company Securityholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for Losses that constitute punitive, consequential or multiple damages, except for any such damages actually paid to a third party; and (iv) the amount of any Loss of the Parent Indemnified Parties subject to recovery under this Article VIII shall be calculated net of any amounts specifically accrued or reserved for in the Company Balance Sheet.
(g) An Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to mitigate any of its Losses that such Indemnified Party may recover hereunder (including through any indemnity, offset or withholding claim); provided that no such Indemnified Party shall be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action that is contrary to any applicable Contract or Law binding on such Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof.
46
8.5 Tenant Improvement Indemnity.
(a) On or prior to June 30, 2016, Parent may cause to be prepared and delivered to the Securityholder Representative Committee a certificate (the Tenant Improvement Certificate), setting forth Parents reasonable, good faith determination of the actual costs of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the New Lease) in accordance with the terms of Exhibit B of the New Lease (the Tenant Improvement Costs), together with a reasonably detailed calculation thereof.
(b) During the thirty (30)-day period following delivery of the Tenant Improvement Certificate to the Securityholder Representative Committee, Parent will allow the Securityholder Representative Committee reasonable access to such books, records, work papers, employees and accountants of Parent and the Surviving Corporation used in or who have information used in calculating the amounts set forth in the Tenant Improvement Certificate as the Securityholder Representative Committee may reasonably request (including by electronic means, to the extent available), and shall provide such other cooperation as reasonably requested by the Securityholder Representative Committee.
(c) Within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Securityholder Representative Committee of the Tenant Improvement Certificate, the Securityholder Representative Committee shall deliver written notice to Parent of any dispute the Securityholder Representative Committee has with respect to the preparation or content of the Tenant Improvement Certificate. If the Securityholder Representative Committee does not so notify Parent of a dispute with respect to the Tenant Improvement Certificate within such thirty (30)-day period, the Tenant Improvement Certificate and the Tenant Improvement Costs set forth therein will be final, conclusive and binding on the Company Securityholders and the Securityholder Representative Committee. In the event of such notification of a dispute, Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) days after the Securityholder Representative Committee advised Parent of its objections, then Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee jointly shall engage a mutually agreed upon accounting firm (the Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm) to resolve such dispute. The Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm shall not have any material relationship with Parent, Merger Sub, the Securityholder Representative Committee or their respective Affiliates, and shall be chosen by and mutually acceptable to both Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee; provided that if Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee cannot agree on the appointment of the Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm, each shall select an independent accountant of nationally recognized standing and such independent accountants shall select a third to act as the Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm. The Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm shall make all determinations in accordance with this Agreement, shall make a determination of only those items remaining in dispute between Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee within thirty (30) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require, and in doing so shall only be permitted or authorized to determine an amount with respect to any such disputed item that is either the amount of such disputed item as proposed by Parent in the Tenant Improvement Certificate or as proposed by the Securityholder Representative Committee in any notice of disagreement. All costs, fees and expenses of the Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative Committee, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items so submitted to the Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of such items so submitted. The determination of the Tenant Improvement Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties and non-appealable.
(d) If the Tenant Improvement Costs, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 8.5, exceed the Allowance (as defined in the New Lease in effect as of the date hereof) (such amount in excess of the Allowance, the Tenant Improvement Costs Excess Amount), promptly following such final determination (and in any event within five (5) Business Days), Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee shall, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to transfer an amount equal
47
to such the Tenant Improvement Costs Excess Amount (which Tenant Improvement Costs Excess Amount shall not exceed $1,000,000) to Parent from the Escrow Fund. Parent agrees that its right to any indemnification from the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Section 8.5 shall be limited to its right to recover the Tenant Improvement Costs Excess Amount, subject to the limitation contained herein, from the Escrow Fund.
8.6 Recovery From Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund shall be available to indemnify each of the Parent Indemnified Parties for any Losses indemnifiable by the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties under this Article VIII. All claims for recovery for any Loss from the Escrow Fund shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with, and be governed by the terms of, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Parent Indemnified Parties agree to first seek recourse for any indemnification claim made hereunder against the Escrow Fund, to the extent the Escrow Fund has available funds therein. For all Losses for which the Parent Indemnified Parties have the right to indemnification hereunder in excess of the Escrow Fund, subject to the immediately preceding sentence and the limitations contained in this Article VIII, including the last sentence of Section 8.4(c), the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties shall severally (in accordance with his, her or its respective Pro Rata Portion), and not jointly, directly indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties.
8.7 Claim Procedures.
(a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholder Representative Committee if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) reasonably prompt notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably give rise to indemnification under this Agreement describing in reasonable detail, to the extent then known, the facts and circumstances with respect to such claim and stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises (such notice a Claim Notice). With respect to a breach of any representation or warranty, the Claim Notice must be received on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 8.1, irrespective of whether the subject matter of such claim shall have occurred before or after such date.
(b) If an Indemnified Party shall have received from the Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholder Representative Committee if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) within twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of a Claim Notice by such Indemnified Party, a written notice setting forth the Indemnifying Partys (or the Securityholder Representative Committees if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) objections to the claim set forth in such Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Partys (or the Securityholder Representative Committees if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) reasons for such objection, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days from the date the Indemnified Party receives such objection notice (such period is hereinafter referred to as the Negotiation Period). After the Negotiation Period, if the parties still cannot agree regarding such claim, the Indemnified Party may, at any time thereafter, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to its claim for indemnification, commence legal proceedings against the Indemnifying Party to enforce its rights to indemnification from and against any Losses described in the underlying Claim Notice.
(c) In the event that the Indemnified Party commences an Action in order to recover Losses hereunder, upon final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction with respect thereto, the non-prevailing party in such Action shall reimburse the prevailing partys reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred in connection with such Action.
(d) Following the final determination of any amounts owed to a Parent Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII, and subject to terms and conditions of this Article VIII, (i) from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII, Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly disburse such amounts from the Escrow Fund to such Indemnified Party in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, or (ii) directly from any Company Securityholder Indemnifying
48
Party pursuant to this Article VIII, such Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party shall promptly (and in any event with three (3) Business Days) following such determination pay such amounts to such Parent Indemnified Party. Following the final determination of any amounts owed to a Company Securityholder Indemnified Party from any Parent Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII, such Parent Indemnifying Party shall promptly (and in any event with three (3) Business Days) following such determination pay such amounts to such Company Securityholder Indemnified Party.
8.8 Distribution of Escrow Fund. On the Initial Escrow Release Date, Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee shall, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to transfer (a) $9,000,000, minus (b) the sum of (i) all amounts distributed from the Escrow Fund on or prior to the Initial Escrow Release Date pursuant to Section 8.2(b), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of unsatisfied or disputed claims for Losses made prior to the Initial Escrow Release Date, to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions. On the Escrow Termination Date, Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee shall, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to transfer (x) the remainder of the Escrow Fund, less (y) the aggregate amount of unsatisfied or disputed claims for Losses made prior to the Escrow Termination Date (the Escrow Release Amount), less any required withholding of Taxes under applicable Law, to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions. As soon as all such unsatisfied or disputed claims have been resolved and fully paid, Parent and the Securityholder Representative Committee shall, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to transfer any amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund (which amounts shall be added to and be considered part of the Escrow Release Amount), less any required withholding of Taxes under applicable Law, to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions. If any withholding pursuant to applicable Law is required in connection with such payments, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Securityholder Representative Committee to make such payments (and effect such withholding) through its or the Surviving Corporations payroll system.
8.9 Securityholder Representative Committee.
(a) By virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the requisite consent of the Company Stockholders, each of the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties (other than such Company Stockholders, if any, who have perfected dissenters or appraisal rights under Delaware Law) shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Seth Flam, Sol Lizerbram and Jonathan Flam as its agent and attorney-in-fact and as the Securityholder Representative Committee for and on behalf of the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Parent Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to indemnification claims made by Parent Indemnified Parties hereunder, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any other claim by any Parent Indemnified Party against any Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party or by any such Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party against any Parent Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Parent Indemnified Party and any such Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative Committee for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties, and the Securityholder Representative Committee may be replaced, with the right to receive at least a majority of the Pro Rata Portions of the Escrow Fund from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any member of the Securityholder Representative Committee may resign at any time by providing written notice of intent to resign to the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties, which resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days following delivery of such written notice or (B) the appointment of a successor by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Representative Committee, and the Securityholder Representative Committee shall not receive any compensation for its services.
49
(b) The Securityholders Representative Committee shall act by majority vote of all members thereof and each such member of the Securityholders Representative Committee shall have one (1) vote. All such decisions of the Securityholders Representative Committee shall be made at a meeting (which can be held telephonically) at which all members of the Securityholders Representative Committee are present or by written consent (in lieu of a meeting) unanimously approved by the members of the Securityholders Representative Committee.
(c) The Securityholder Representative Committee shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Securityholder Representative Committee while acting in good faith, even if such act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of such Securityholder Representative Committee. The Securityholder Representative Committee shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Securityholder Representative Committee may engage attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts. The Securityholder Representative Committee may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Securityholder Representative Committee based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith. The Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify the Securityholder Representative Committee and hold the Securityholder Representative Committee harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred on the part of the Securityholder Representative Committee (so long as the Securityholder Representative Committee was acting in good faith in connection therewith) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholder Representative Committees duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Securityholder Representative Committee (Securityholder Representative Committee Expenses). The Securityholder Representative Committee shall have the right to retain Securityholder Representative Committee Expenses from the Expense Fund Amount prior to any distribution to the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties, and prior to any such distribution, shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate setting forth the Securityholder Representative Committee Expenses actually incurred. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative Committee, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.10 hereof, shall constitute a decision of the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties.
8.10 Third-Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third party claim (a Third Party Claim) that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholder Representative Committee if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) of such claim. The Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholder Representative Committee if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) shall have ten (10) days from receipt of notice regarding a Third Party Claim to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholder Representative Committee if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) will, at its sole cost and expense, defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholder Representative Committee if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) timely gives notice that it intends to defend a Third Party Claim, it may, except as hereafter provided, undertake and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim. An Indemnified Party shall be entitled, to participate in (at its sole cost), but not to determine or conduct, the defense of any such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholder Representative Committee if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) does not so elect to undertake and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such claim as the Indemnified Party deems reasonably appropriate and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties therefor to the extent indemnifiable hereunder; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall not settle any such claim except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholder Representative Committee if the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party) (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) to the extent the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party, the Securityholder Representative Committee shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or
50
(ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, and (y) if there is a direct, ethical conflict of interest between a Parent Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative Committee or a Company Securityholder Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, in the defense of any action, then the Parent Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel for the defense or settlement of any such claim or demand to the extent of any such conflict, and the reasonable costs and expenses of such counsel shall be indemnified by the Company Securityholder Indemnifying Parties in accordance with the terms hereunder.
8.11 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. Any payments made to a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article VIII and any payments to Parent pursuant to Section 1.13(e) or Sections 5.12(b) or 5.12(d) will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
8.12 Remedies. Except for any non-monetary equitable relief to which any Party hereto may be entitled from and after the Closing and except for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the indemnification provisions described in this Article VIII provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Losses any Indemnified Party may incur, suffer or sustain arising from this Agreement.

9.8 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation.
(a) Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (WSGR) has acted as counsel for the Company Securityholders, the Company and the Securityholder Representative Committee (collectively, the Company Parties) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the Acquisition Engagement) and, in that connection, not as counsel for any other Person, including Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation). Only the Company Parties shall be considered clients of WSGR in the Acquisition Engagement. If the Securityholder Representative Committee so desires, WSGR shall be permitted, without the need for any future waiver or consent, to represent any of the Company Parties after the Closing in connection with any matter related to the matters contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreements referenced herein or therein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto and may in connection therewith represent the agents or Affiliates of the Company Parties, in any of the foregoing cases including in any dispute, litigation or other adversary proceeding against, with or involving Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their agents or Affiliates.
(b) To the extent that communications between a Company Party, on the one hand, and WSGR, on the other hand, relate to the Acquisition Engagement, such communication shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Securityholder Representative Committee, for and on behalf of the Company Parties. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall have access to (and Parent hereby waives, on behalf of each, any right of access it may otherwise have with respect to) any such communications or the files or work product of WSGR, to the extent that they relate to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent acknowledges and agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, upon and after the Closing: (i) the Securityholder Representative Committee, for and on behalf of the Company Parties, and WSGR shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Acquisition Engagement, and neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall be a holder thereof; (ii) to the extent that files or work product of WSGR in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Securityholder Representative Committee, for and on behalf of the other Company Parties, shall hold such property rights and have the right to waive or modify such property rights; and (iii) WSGR shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications, files or work product to Parent or any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, by reason of any attorney-client relationship between WSGR and the Company or otherwise; provided that, to the extent any communication is both related and unrelated to the Acquisition Engagement, WSGR shall provide (and the Securityholder Representative Committee, for and on behalf of the other Company Parties, shall instruct WSGR to provide) appropriately redacted versions of such communications, files or work product to Parent or its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between any of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates, on one hand, and any of the Company Parties, on the other hand, concerning the matters contemplated in this Agreement, Parent, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates, agrees that Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates shall not offer into evidence or otherwise attempt to use or assert the foregoing attorney-client communications, files or work product against the Securityholder Representative Committee or the other Company Parties.
9.9 Time is of the Essence; Enforcement. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and/or Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent
54
breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement and to thereafter cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement. The foregoing rights are in addition to and without limitation of any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled at law or in equity. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by such party (or parties), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party (or parties) under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
9.10 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. Any waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and must be duly executed by or on behalf of the party to be charged with such waiver. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the failure of a party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at a later date. Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 5.14 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of such Section) may not be amended, supplement, waived or otherwise modified in any manner that impacts or is otherwise adverse in any respect to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of each of the Financing Sources.
9.11 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of financial advisors, financial sponsors, legal counsel and other advisors, shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated.
9.12 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
