ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place within two (2) Business Days following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof, at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California, unless another time or place is mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company. The date upon which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Merger”), in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the time of such filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Heroku, Inc.”

(b) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the bylaws of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

 

-3-


1.5 Directors and Officers.

(a) Directors of Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

(b) Officers of Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Effect of Merger on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Corporations.

(a) Definitions. For all purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

Balance Sheet Adjustment Amount” shall mean the amount, if any, by which (A) the Company’s total current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents), as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet minus (B) the absolute value of the Company’s total current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue and the amount of any Closing Date Balance Sheet Indebtedness, but including all Taxes (other than deferred Taxes) of the Company attributable to a period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (as determined in a manner set forth in Section 7.2(a)(viii)), which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include all Transaction Payroll Taxes), as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet is less than the Balance Sheet Target. If (A) minus (B) is greater than or equal to the Balance Sheet Target, the Balance Sheet Adjustment Amount shall be equal to zero. For purposes of this calculation, Estimated Third Party Expenses shall not be considered as part of the total current liabilities.

Balance Sheet Target” shall mean an amount equal to $400,000.

to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the purpose of securing to the parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to agree to (x) any license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or properties of Parent, its subsidiaries or affiliates or of the Company, (y) the imposition of any limitation on the ability of Parent, its subsidiaries or affiliates or the Company to conduct their respective businesses or own any capital stock or assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of their respective businesses and, in the case of Parent, the business of the Company, or (z) the imposition of any impediment on Parent, its subsidiaries or affiliates or the Company under any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, order or other legal restraint governing competition, monopolies or restrictive trade practices (any such action described in (x), (y) or (z), an “Action of Divestiture”). Nothing herein shall require Parent to litigate with any Governmental Entity.

5.5 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of: (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which is likely to cause any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a)(i) or (ii) would not be satisfied, and (ii) any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a)(iii) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not (a) limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the party receiving such notice or (b) constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach of this Agreement.

5.7 Stockholder Approval.

(a) Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall solicit and obtain the written consent of the Stockholders in the form of the Stockholder Written Consent, which consent shall constitute the irrevocable approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Stockholder Consent, which shall also include and constitute the irrevocable approval by the Stockholders of: (i) the escrow and indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties set forth in Article VII hereof and the deposit of cash equal to the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Fund, (ii) the appointment of

John Connors as the Stockholder Representative, as provided by Delaware Law and the Charter Documents and (iii) with respect to the holders of Company Preferred Stock and Company SC Preferred Stock, the conversion of each share of Company Preferred Stock and each share of Company SC Preferred Stock into shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, effective prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of the written stockholder consents obtained pursuant to the Stockholder Consent.

(b) The Company shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof:

(i) deliver notice to each Stockholder whose consent was not obtained as described in Section 5.7(a) hereof of the approval by the Stockholder Consent of the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including each of the matters set forth in Section 5.7(a) hereof, pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and the Charter Documents, and which notice shall include the notice to stockholders required by Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Section 1301 of the California Law of the approval of the Merger and that appraisal and dissenters’ rights will be available (the “Stockholder Notice”); and

(ii) submit to the Stockholders for approval (in a manner satisfactory to Parent), by such number of Stockholders as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, any payments and/or benefits that Parent and the Company mutually determine may separately or in the aggregate, constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), such that such payments and benefits shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, and prior to the Effective Time the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent that (A) a Stockholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G and the regulations promulgated thereunder and the requisite Stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the Stockholder vote (the “280G Approval”), or (B) that the 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided, pursuant to the waivers of those payments and/or benefits which were executed by the affected individuals prior to the solicitation of the Stockholder approval.

In the event that the other parties to any such Contract, including a lessor or licensor of any Leased Real Property, conditions its grant of a consent, modification, waiver or approval (including by threatening to exercise a “recapture” or other termination right) upon, or otherwise requires in response to a notice or consent request regarding this Agreement, the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased rent payments or other payments under the Contract) or the provision of additional security (including a guarantee), the Company shall be responsible for making all such payments or providing all such additional security

and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Parent from all losses, costs, claims, liabilities and damages arising from the same. In the event the Merger does not close for any reason, Parent shall not have any liability to the Company, the Stockholders or any other Person for any costs, claims, liabilities or damages resulting from the Company seeking to obtain such consents, modifications, waivers and approvals.

5.11 Terminated Agreements. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate each of the agreements listed on Schedule 6.2(j) hereof (the “Terminated Agreements”), effective as of and contingent upon the Closing, including sending all required notices, such that each such agreement shall be of no further force or effect immediately following the Effective Time. The form and substance of such termination letter shall be provided by Parent and approved by the Company. Upon the Closing, the Company shall have paid all amounts owed under the Terminated Agreements (as a result of the termination of the Terminated Agreements or otherwise), and the Surviving Corporation will not incur any claim, liability or obligation (absolute, accrued, asserted or unasserted, contingent or otherwise) under any Terminated Agreement following the Closing Date. The Company shall be responsible for making any payments required to terminate the Terminated Agreements and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Parent from all Losses arising from the same and shall reflect such payment or other consideration incurred by the Company as of the Closing Date or anticipated to be incurred or payable after the Closing on the Statement of Expenses.

(together, such number of shares, the “Parent Restricted Shares”), subject to the approval of Parent’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and subject to such terms and conditions, including but not limited to vesting, as the of Parent’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may determine. In the event that less than all of the Parent Restricted Shares are actually offered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall agree upon such amendments to this Agreement and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to allocate the value of the unoffered Parent Restricted Shares to the holders of Company Capital Stock and holders of Vested Company Options (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions) as additional cash consideration in the Merger.

The rights of each Company Indemnitee shall be enforceable by each such Company Indemnitee or his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns.

7.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and in the Closing Certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive for a period of fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date (the date of expiration of such fifteen (15)-month period, the “Survival Date”) and shall thereafter terminate (except with respect to any claim asserted prior to the Survival Date); provided, however, that in the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation with respect to a representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall survive indefinitely; provided, further, that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.2 (Company Capital Structure), Section 2.4 (Authority), Section 2.6 (Consents) (insofar as it pertains to stockholder approval) and Section 2.11 (Tax Matters) (collectively, the “Special Representations and Warranties”) hereof shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2.14 (Intellectual Property) (the “IP Representations and Warranties”) shall survive for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date. The representations and warranties of Parent and Sub contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall terminate at the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.

7.2 Indemnification.

(a) By virtue of the Merger, the Stockholders and holders of Vested Company Options (each, an “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) agree to severally (based on their respective Pro Rata Portions of each Loss covered by this Section 7.2(a)) but not jointly indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents and representatives, including the Surviving Corporation (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs, interest, awards, judgments, penalties and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and including any such reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any of the foregoing (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them (including the Surviving Corporation), directly or indirectly, as a result of:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the Company or any Person executing a Closing Certificate contained in this Agreement or the Closing Certificates (provided that, in the event of any such breach or inaccuracy, for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss no effect will be given to any qualification as to “materiality” or

 

-67-


a “Company Material Adverse Effect” contained therein, it being understood that such qualifications shall be given effect for purposes of determining whether a breach or inaccuracy exists or has occurred);

(ii) any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any covenant applicable to it contained in this Agreement;

(iii) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company or any Person executing a Closing Certificate contained in this Agreement or the Closing Certificates;

(iv) the amount of Excess Liabilities, if any;

(v) any Dissenting Share Payments;

(vi) any Excess Third Party Expenses;

(vii) any Excess Debt;

(viii) Any Taxes of the Company attributable to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Transaction Payroll Taxes, to the extent not reflected in the calculation of the Balance Sheet Adjustment Amount (it being understood that, in the case of Taxes based upon income, sales, proceeds, profits, receipts, wages, compensation or similar items, the amount attributable to the pre-closing period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and the amount of any other Taxes of the Company attributable to such Tax period shall equal the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period (excluding any increase in Tax for the period solely as a result of the Merger) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period up to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the taxable period); provided, however, that amounts attributable to the pre-closing period ending on the Closing Date shall not include (A) any Taxes resulting from an election being made under Code Section 338(g) or under any comparable provisions of any other state, local or foreign laws with respect to the acquisition of the Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement, or (B) any Taxes incurred on the Closing Date after the Closing that are outside the ordinary course of business; or

(ix) the amount, if any, by which the unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by the Company as set forth on the Closing Date Balance Sheet exceeds the actual amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by the Company as of the Closing Date.

The Indemnifying Parties (including any officer or director of the Company) shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Surviving Corporation or Parent with respect to any Loss claimed by an Indemnified Party.

 

-68-


(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or any other Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under any Related Agreement against the parties thereto.

7.3 Maximum Payments; Remedy.

(a) Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or the Closing Certificates, and except for claims for breaches or inaccuracies of the Special Representations and Warranties, claims against the Escrow Fund shall be the Indemnified Parties sole remedy for indemnity claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) hereof, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to claims of breaches or inaccuracies of the IP Representations and Warranties, Parent may, in addition to making claims against the Escrow Fund, pursue additional claims directly against the Indemnifying Parties (on a several basis in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions and not jointly), provided that the liability of the Indemnifying Parties in respect of such additional claims not made against the Escrow Fund with respect to the IP Representations and Warranties shall be limited in the aggregate to an amount equal to all amounts that are released at any time to any of the Indemnifying Parties from the Escrow Fund. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.3(a) shall not apply to claims for indemnity pursuant to clauses (ii) through (ix) of Section 7.2(a) hereof.

(b) The liability of each Indemnifying Party pursuant to (i) Section 7.2(a)(i) with respect to the Special Representations and Warranties and (ii) Section 7.2(a)(ii) through (ix) shall be limited, in the aggregate, to a dollar amount equal to the aggregate portion of the Total Consideration (including such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount) received by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party in connection with a claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by such Indemnifying Party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all claims by an Indemnified Party for Losses pursuant to this Agreement (other than any such claim relating to any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 (Company Capital Structure) or Section 2.4 (Authority) or claims pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) or Section 7.2(a)(iii)) shall be satisfied: (i) first, from the Escrow Fund to the extent it is still available; and (ii) second, against the Indemnifying Parties directly, but only to the extent that such Losses cannot be recovered from the Escrow Fund.

(d) Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.3(a), 7.3(b) and Section 7.3(c), in the case of any claim not made against the Escrow Fund, Parent shall be entitled to bring such claim against any or all of the Indemnifying Parties, and each Indemnifying Party shall be liable for its respective Pro Rata Portion of the total liability owed to the Indemnified Parties in respect of such a claim (except that the foregoing shall not limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party who has committed fraud or intentional misrepresentation with respect to such fraud or intentional misrepresentation) .

 

-69-


(e) Nothing in this Article VII shall limit the liability of the Company or the Indemnifying Parties for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreements or in any certificates or other instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement if the Merger does not close.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any Indemnified Party may bring a claim for indemnification for any Loss under this Article VII notwithstanding the fact that such Indemnified Party had knowledge of the breach, event or circumstance giving rise to such Loss prior to the Closing or waived any condition to the Closing related thereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall have the right to seek or obtain indemnification under this Article VII for any punitive damages, other than with respect to punitive damages owed to a third party in an indemnifiable Third Party Claim.

(h) Any indemnifiable claim with respect to any breach or nonperformance by the Company of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party making such claim (net of any costs of collection, deductible, premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other cost resulting from the insurance claim in respect of Losses), provided that no Indemnified Party shall be required to maintain or make claims with respect to any insurance policy.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall have any right to seek or obtain indemnification under this Agreement for any Loss or alleged Loss by such Indemnified Party, and the Loss shall not be included in meeting the Deductible Amount in Section 7.4(b)(i), to the extent the dollar amount of such Loss reduces the Total Consideration because it was included in the Balance Sheet Adjustment Amount, the Third Party Expense Adjustment Amount or the Indebtedness Adjustment Amount.

7.4 Escrow Arrangements.

(a) Escrow Fund. By virtue of this Agreement and as partial security for the indemnity obligations provided for in Section 7.2 hereof, at the Effective Time, Parent will deposit with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount without any act of the Indemnifying Parties, such deposit of the Escrow Amount to constitute an escrow fund to be governed by the terms set forth herein. The Escrow Amount (plus any interest paid on such Escrow Amount in accordance with Section 7.4(d)(ii) hereof, the “Escrow Fund”) shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VII. The Escrow Agent may execute this Agreement following the date hereof and prior to the Closing, and such later execution, if so executed after the date hereof, shall not affect the binding nature of this Agreement as of the date hereof between the other signatories hereto.

 

-70-


(b) Deductible Amount.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant and except as set forth in Section 7.4(b)(ii), an Indemnified Party may not recover any Losses under Section 7.2(a)(i) hereof unless and until one or more Officer’s Certificates identifying such Losses under Section 7.2(a)(i) hereof in excess of $750,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”) has or have been delivered to the Escrow Agent or the Stockholder Representative as provided in Section 7.4(e) hereof, in which case Parent shall be entitled to recover all Losses so identified without regard to the Deductible Amount.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be entitled to recover for, and the Deductible Amount shall not apply as a threshold to, any and all claims or payments made with respect to all Losses (a) incurred pursuant to clauses (ii) through (xi) of Section 7.2(a) hereof, or (b) resulting from any breach or inaccuracy of any of the Special Representations and Warranties or the IP Representations and Warranties.

(iii) For the purposes hereof, “Officer’s Certificate” shall mean a certificate signed by any officer of Parent: (1) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, sustained, incurred, or properly accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, sustain, incur, or accrue Losses, and (2) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses, the date each such item was paid, sustained, incurred, or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and, if applicable, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related, or, with respect to Losses determined in accordance with the terms of Section 7.6(a) hereof, including a copy of the Adjusted Balance Sheet.

(c) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Periods. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., local time at Parent’s corporate headquarters in California, on the Survival Date (the “Escrow Period”) and the Escrow Agent shall distribute the funds in the Escrow Account to the Indemnifying Parties following such termination; provided, however, that the Escrow Fund shall not terminate with respect to any amount in respect of any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate (“Unresolved Claims”) delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative prior to the Escrow Period termination date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the Survival Date, and any such amount shall not be distributed to the Indemnifying Parties at such time. As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund, if any, not required to satisfy such or any other Unresolved Claims. Deliveries of the Escrow Amount out of the Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Section 7.4(c) shall be made in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portions of the remaining amounts in the Escrow Fund.

 

-71-


(d) Protection of Escrow Fund.

(i) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms of this Article VII.

(ii) The Escrow Amount shall be invested in a U.S. Bank Money Market deposit Account, as fully described in Exhibit I attached hereto and any interest paid on such Escrow Amount shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof and available for satisfaction of claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest and other income received with respect to the Escrow Fund that is added to the Escrow Fund exceed in the aggregate 12% of the initial Escrow Amount, and any amounts of interest and other income received with respect to the Escrow Fund in excess thereof will be paid to Parent. The parties hereto agree that Parent shall be treated as the owner of any cash in the Escrow Fund for Tax purposes, and that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of such cash pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as earned by Parent. The parties intend the Escrow Amount to qualify for installment sale reporting under Section 453 of the Code, but no party hereto makes any representation regarding such qualification.

(e) Claims for Indemnification.

(i) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before the last day of the Escrow Period of an Officer’s Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4(f), Section 7.4(g) and Section 7.6 hereof, deliver to Parent, as promptly as practicable, cash held in the Escrow Fund equal to such Losses.

(ii) In the event that an Indemnified Party pursues a claim directly against any Indemnifying Party, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, Section 7.4(f), Section 7.4(g) and Section 7.6 hereof, each Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is sought shall promptly, and in no event later than 30 days after delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to each such Indemnifying Party, wire transfer to the Indemnified Party an amount of cash equal to such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Loss.

(iii) If the Stockholder Representative (or the Indemnifying Party in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) does not object in writing within the 30-day period after delivery by the Parent of the Officer’s Certificate, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnifying Parties (or the applicable Indemnifying Party in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Officer’s Certificate.

 

-72-


(f) Objections to Claims against the Escrow Fund. At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to the Stockholder Representative (and the Indemnifying Party in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party), and for a period of 30 days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Parent of any Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 7.4(e) hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Stockholder Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such 30 day period, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(e)(i) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of cash from the Escrow Fund equal to the amount of Losses claimed in the Officer’s Certificate; provided that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Stockholder Representative, shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate (an “Objection Notice”), and such Objection Notice shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent and Parent prior to the expiration of such 30 day period.

(g) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.

(i) In case the Stockholder Representative delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.4(f) hereof, or in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, if such Indemnifying Party shall object to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate to recover claims directly from such Indemnifying Party within 30 days after delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, the Stockholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

(ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to 30 days after delivery of an Objection Notice, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss that is at issue is the subject of a pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party). In the event that, within 30 days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Stockholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within 15 days after the end of such 30 day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator.

 

-73-


(iii) Any such arbitration shall be held in San Francisco County, California, under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s), and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with, the terms of such award, judgment, decree or order as applicable. Within 30 days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party, including any distributions out of the Escrow Fund, as applicable.

(iv) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as set forth in Section 7.4(g)(v) hereof, the foregoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute among the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII hereof, whether relating to claims upon the Escrow Fund or to the other indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VII.

(v) This Section 7.4(g) shall not apply to claims against the Escrow Fund made in respect of the calculation of Excess Liabilities. Claims against the Escrow Fund made in respect of any Excess Liabilities shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures in Section 7.6 hereof.

(h) Third-Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third party claim (other than a claim that relates to the calculation of Excess Liabilities) (a “Third Party Claim”) which Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund or for other indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) of such claim, and the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled), at their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim. Parent shall have the right in its

 

-74-


sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party), no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such matter or whether an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. If there is a third party claim that, if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses hereunder, then any amounts incurred or accrued by the Indemnified Parties in defense of such third party claim, regardless of the outcome of such claim, shall be deemed Losses hereunder. In the event that the Stockholder Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) has consented to any such settlement, the Indemnifying Parties (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VII to the amount of any Third Party Claim by Parent against the Escrow Fund, or against the Indemnifying Parties directly, as the case may be, with respect to such settlement. Parent shall conduct the defense of any Third Party Claim in good faith. Without limiting the Stockholder Representative’s right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, Parent shall, at the Stockholder Representative’s expense, to the extent permitted by applicable law and any contractual obligations and, except as would not in the good faith judgment of Parent result in a waiver of any applicable legal privilege, (i) upon the request of the Stockholder Representative, promptly make available to the Stockholder Representative any material documents obtained by Parent from the third party claimant in connection with such Third Party Claim which are requested by the Stockholder Representative, (ii) upon the request of the Stockholder Representative, promptly provide to the Stockholder Representative any material documents and information filed with or submitted to any Governmental Entity or arbitrator in connection with such Third Party Claim which are requested by the Stockholder Representative, and (iii) upon the request of the Stockholder Representative, make a representative of Parent available for a reasonable time to consult with the Stockholder Representative as to any material developments related to such Third Party Claim.

(i) Escrow Agent’s Duties.

(i) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and as set forth in any additional written escrow instructions which the Escrow Agent may receive after the date of this Agreement which are signed by an officer of Parent and the Stockholder Representative, and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

 

-75-


(ii) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other Person, excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court, rewards of arbitrators and joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, reward of arbitrator, instructions or certificate, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other Person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment, decree or award being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

(iii) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.

(iv) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.

(v) In performing any duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for damages, losses, or expenses, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability for (A) any act or failure to act made or omitted in good faith, or (B) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement or affidavit provided for in this Agreement that the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, nor will the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible for forgeries, fraud, impersonations, or determining the scope of any representative authority. In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel in connection with performing the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by him/her in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining and verifying the authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement.

(vi) If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and the Escrow Amount and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, may be required, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may at its option, file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and the Escrow Amounts held in escrow, except all costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action (the “Agent

 

-76-


Interpleader Expenses”) and which the parties agree to pay as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties on the basis of the Indemnifying Parties’ respective Pro Rata Portions; provided, however, that in the event any Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses and recover an equal amount from such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.

(vii) The parties and their respective successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of his/her duties under this Agreement, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter, other than those arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent (the “Agent Indemnification Expenses”) as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the Indemnifying Parties on the basis of the Indemnifying Parties’ respective Pro Rata Portions; provided, however, that in the event any Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses and recover an equal amount from such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund.

(viii) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least 30 days written notice to the Parent and the Stockholder Representative; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent which shall be accomplished as follows: Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree on a successor escrow agent within 30 days after receiving such notice. If the parties fail to agree upon a successor escrow agent within such time, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor escrow agent authorized to do business in the State of California. The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent. Upon appointment of a successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.

(j) Fees. All fees of the Escrow Agent for performance of its duties hereunder shall be paid by Parent in accordance with the standard fee schedule of the Escrow Agent. It is understood that the fees and usual charges agreed upon for services of the Escrow Agent shall be considered compensation for ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the conditions of this Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, or if the Escrow Agent renders any service not provided for in this Agreement but that has been requested by an officer of Parent, or if

 

-77-


the parties request a substantial modification of the terms of this Agreement, or if any controversy arises, or if the Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to the Escrow Fund or its subject matter, the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs, attorney’s fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation.

(k) Successor Escrow Agents. Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

7.5 Stockholder Representative.

(a) By virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Stockholders, each of the Stockholders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint John Connors as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Stockholder Representative for and on behalf of the Stockholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, 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 such claims, 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 Indemnified Party against any Indemnifying Party or by any Indemnifying Party against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any 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 Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Indemnifying Parties from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a two-thirds interest of the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative, and the Stockholder Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Indemnifying Parties.

(b) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Indemnifying Parties on whose behalf the Escrow Amount was contributed to the

 

-78-


Escrow Fund shall indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholder Representative (“Stockholder Representative Expenses”). Following the termination of the Escrow Period, the resolution of all Unresolved Claims and the satisfaction of all claims made by Indemnified Parties for Losses, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to recover Stockholder Representative Expenses from the Escrow Fund prior to any distribution to the Indemnifying Parties, and prior to any such distribution, shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate setting forth the Stockholder Representative Expenses actually incurred. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3 and Section 8.4 hereof, shall constitute a decision of the Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Indemnifying Parties; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Indemnifying Parties. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.

7.6 Adjustment to Consideration.

(a) Within 45 days following the Closing Date, Parent may, at its election, cause to be prepared and delivered to the Stockholder Representative an unaudited balance sheet of the Surviving Corporation as of the Closing Date (the “Adjusted Balance Sheet”). The Adjusted Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied on a basis consistent with the Financials. In the event that, pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.6(a), it is determined that the amount equal to (i) the absolute value of the Company’s total current assets (as defined by and as determined in accordance with GAAP but excluding cash and cash equivalents) at the Closing Date as reflected on the Adjusted Balance Sheet minus (ii) the absolute value of the Company’s total current liabilities (as defined by and as determined in accordance with GAAP but excluding deferred revenue and the amount of any indebtedness for borrowed money) at the Closing Date as reflected on the Adjusted Balance Sheet (collectively, the “Net Assets at Closing”) plus (iii) the Balance Sheet Adjustment Amount is a number less than the Balance Sheet Target, then an amount equal to such difference (“Excess Liabilities”) shall be paid to Parent out of the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of Section 7.4(e) hereof. For purposes of this calculation, Third Party Expenses shall not be considered as part of the total current liabilities. Following delivery by Parent to the Stockholder Representative of the Adjusted Balance Sheet, Parent shall give the Stockholder Representative reasonable access during Parent’s regular California business hours to those books and records of the Surviving Corporation in the possession or control of Parent and any personnel which relate to the preparation of the Adjusted Balance Sheet for purposes of resolving any disputes concerning the Adjusted Balance Sheet and the calculation of Net Assets at Closing.

 

-79-


(b) The Stockholder Representative shall have 30 days following delivery of the Adjusted Balance Sheet during which to notify Parent in writing (the “Notice of Objection”) of any good faith objections to the calculation of Net Assets at Closing or the Adjusted Balance Sheet, as it affects such calculation, setting forth a reasonably specific and detailed description of its objections and the dollar amount of each objection. If the Stockholder Representative objects to the Adjusted Balance Sheet or Parent’s calculation of Net Assets at Closing as reflected thereon, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall attempt to resolve any such objections within 30 days of the receipt by Parent of the Notice of Objection.

(c) If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve any such dispute within the 30 day period following receipt of the Notice of Objection referred to in Section 7.6(b) hereof, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall submit the dispute to a partner in the audit practice of any nationally recognized accounting firm that is mutually agreeable to both parties (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). Each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates and representatives to, provide full cooperation to the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall (i) act in its capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (ii) consider only those matters as to which there is a dispute between the parties and (iii) be instructed to reach its conclusions regarding any such dispute within 30 days after its appointment and provide a written explanation of its decision. In the event that Parent and the Stockholder Representative submit any dispute to an Independent Accounting Firm, each such party may submit a “position paper” to the Independent Accounting Firm setting forth the position of such party with respect to such dispute, to be considered by such Independent Accounting Firm as it deems appropriate. Fifty percent of any expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm (“Independent Accounting Firm Expenses”) shall be paid by Parent and 50% of such expenses shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that in the event any Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Independent Accounting Firm Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Independent Accounting Firm Expenses and recover an equal amount from such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund.

(d) If the Stockholder Representative does not deliver a Notice of Objection in accordance with Section 7.6(b) hereof (i.e., within a 30 day period), the Adjusted Balance Sheet (together with Parent’s calculation of Net Assets at Closing reflected thereon), shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement. In the event that the Stockholder Representative delivers a Notice of Objection in accordance with the provisions above and Parent and the Stockholder Representative are able to resolve such dispute by mutual agreement, the Adjusted Balance Sheet, together with Parent’s calculation of Net Assets at Closing reflected thereon, to the extent modified by mutual agreement of such parties, shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement. In the event that the Stockholder Representative delivers a Notice of Objection in accordance with the provisions set forth above and Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve such dispute by mutual agreement, the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties, and the

 

-80-


Adjusted Balance Sheet, together with Parent’s calculation of Net Assets at Closing reflected thereon, to the extent modified by the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the calculation of Net Assets at Closing reflected on any such Adjusted Balance Sheet shall be conclusive and binding on all of the parties to this Agreement for purposes of this Section 7.6, no further adjustments shall be made thereto and none of Parent, the Stockholder Representative or the Indemnifying Parties shall have any further right to challenge such calculation of Net Assets at Closing, whether pursuant to the terms of Section 7.4 hereof or otherwise.

7.7 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. Any payments made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article VII will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law.

7.8 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Effective Time for any claims arising under this Agreement, including claims of inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) this Section 7.8 shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party (and this Article VII shall not be the sole and exclusive remedy in respect of such Indemnifying Party) in connection with a claim based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by such Indemnifying Party.

ARTICLE VIII

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, the Company or their respective officers, directors or stockholders, if applicable; provided, however, that each party hereto and each Person shall remain liable for any breaches of this Agreement, Related Agreements or in any certificate or other instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement prior to its termination; and provided further, however, that, the provisions of Sections 5.2 (Confidentiality), 5.3 (Public Disclosure), 5.16 (Expenses) and 7.3(e) (Maximum Payments; Remedies) hereof, Article IX (General Provisions) hereof and this Section 8.2 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the Indemnifying Parties

9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

 

-84-


9.4 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Confidential Disclosure Agreement, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein: (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (ii) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, and (iii) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to its affiliates as long as Parent remains ultimately liable for all of Parent’s obligations hereunder.

9.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.6 Other Remedies. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

9.7 Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction. Except to the extent a provision of Article I of this Agreement is required by law to be governed by Delaware Law; all other provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

9.10 USA Patriot Act Compliance. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. The parties each agree to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance with federal law.
