NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, Purchaser and the Shareholders hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

PURCHASE AND SALE

 

1.1 Purchase and Sale of the Company Shares. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby offers to purchase from each Shareholder, and each Shareholder hereby undertakes to sell or procure the sale of and transfer to Purchaser, all legal and beneficial interest in that number of Company Shares as is set out against such Shareholder’s name in Schedule I hereto free from all liens, charges, and encumbrances of any description together with all rights now or hereafter attaching thereto with full title guarantee.

1.2 Shareholders’ Warranty and Waiver. Each of the Shareholders warrants to Purchaser that such Shareholder is entitled to sell and transfer to Purchaser the full legal and beneficial ownership of the Company Shares held by such Shareholder and that such shares are free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (as defined in Section 3.1 below). Each of the Shareholders hereby waives any right of redemption, pre-emption (Sw. “hembud/lösningsrätt”) or first or last refusal that it may have in connection to the Company Shares under the articles of association of the Company, any shareholders’ agreement or otherwise with respect to the transfer of the Company Shares contemplated under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige Purchaser to buy any of the Company Shares or otherwise complete this Agreement unless the sale and purchase of all the Company Shares is completed simultaneously.

 

1.3 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price (the “Consideration”) to be paid by Purchaser for the Company Shares shall be a maximum of $33,000,000, divided into the Cash Payment (as defined below) and the payment through issuance of Purchaser Shares as per the below and to be allocated as follows:

 

(a) Company Shares Bought Against Consideration Paid in Cash. Of the Company Shares, Purchaser will purchase 88,569 shares from the Investors, Founders, Employees and Board Adviser against consideration paid in cash (the Cash Payment) divided into an initial payment to be paid at the Closing (the “Closing Cash Payment”) and, with respect to the Founders only, two potential additional payments (the “Additional Cash Payments”) according to the below.

 

(i) Closing Cash Payment.

 

(A) The Closing Cash Payment shall be an aggregate of $20,542,291, prior to the payment by the Shareholders of expenses incurred and to be incurred in connection with the Agreement in accordance with Section 6.3, allocated according to the following: (1) $12,998,159 in cash to the Investors as set forth in Schedule II attached hereto, (2) $3,694,214 in cash to the Founders as set forth in Schedule II attached hereto, (3) $1,375,068 in cash to the Employees as set forth in Schedule II attached hereto, and (4) $2,474,849 in cash to the Board Adviser as set forth in Schedule II attached hereto.

(ii) Additional Cash Payments. In addition to the Closing Cash Payment above, Purchaser will, subject to the below, pay the following Additional Cash Payments to the Founders for the shares acquired from the Founders pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) above:

 

(A) First Anniversary Payment. On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser will pay each Founder for each Company Share sold by each Founder pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) and listed under the heading “Company Shares Exchanged for Cash” in Schedule II hereto, an amount equal to up to (i) the sum of (a) $*** multiplied by the number of the Company’s Employees and Founders employed on the date hereof that are still employed, by the Company, Purchaser or a Subsidiary of Purchaser (a “Subsidiary” of Purchaser shall mean a subsidiary whose financial statements are required to be consolidated with the financial statements of Purchaser under generally accepted accounting principles), and the number of the Company’s Employees and Founders employed on the date hereof that are not employed, if the employment has been terminated by the Company or Purchaser other than on grounds that would qualify as grounds for termination for personal reasons (Sw: “personliga skäl”) or dismissal (Sw: “avsked”) under the Swedish Act on Employment Protection (Sw: “Lagen om anställningsskydd”), which grounds, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include redundancy (Sw: “arbetsbrist”), on such first anniversary of the Closing Date and (b) an amount equal to ***% of the *** revenue recognized by the Company during the first 12-month period ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that such revenue is derived from *** of at least *** of the Company’s *** that are working on projects for “*** customers” and *** projects, and in the event that less than *** of the Company’s *** are available for *** customers, the *** revenue will be deemed to include *** revenue received by the Company from *** customers plus *** revenue received from *** calculated at the rate of $*** per man day per *** for the number of *** working on *** projects that exceeds ***, divided by (ii) the aggregate number of Company Shares held by the Founders listed under the heading “Company Shares Exchanged for Cash” Schedule II hereto; and

 

(B) Second Anniversary Payment. On the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser will pay each Founder for each Company Share sold by each Founder pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) and listed under the heading “Company Shares Exchanged for Cash” in Schedule II hereto, an amount equal to up to (i) the sum of (a) $*** multiplied by the number of the Company’s Employees and Founders employed on the date hereof that are still employed and the number of the Company’s Employees and Founders employed on the date hereof that are not employed, if the employment has been terminated by the Company or Purchaser other than on grounds that would qualify as grounds for termination for personal reasons (Sw: “personliga skäl”) or dismissal (Sw: “avsked”) under the Swedish Act on Employment Protection (Sw: “Lagen om anställningsskydd”), which grounds, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include redundancy (Sw: “arbetsbrist”), on such first anniversary of the Closing Date and (b) an amount equal to ***% of the *** revenue recognized by the Company during the second 12-month period ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that such revenue is derived from *** of at least *** of the Company’s *** that are working on projects for “*** customers” and not on *** projects, and in the event that less than

*** of the Company’s *** are available for *** customers, the *** revenue will be deemed to include *** revenue received by the Company from *** customers plus *** revenue received from *** calculated at the rate of $*** per man day per *** for the number of *** working on *** projects that exceeds ***, divided by (ii) the aggregate number of Company Shares held by the Founders listed under the heading “Company Shares Exchanged for Cash” in Schedule II hereto.

 

(C) The additional Cash Payment under (A) above shall in no event exceed $1,847,106 in the aggregate, or $68.41 per Company Share held by the Founders listed under the heading “Company Shares Exchanged for Cash” in Schedule II hereto, and the additional Cash Payment under (B) above shall in no event exceed $1,847,106 in the aggregate, or $68.41 per Company Share held by the Founders listed under the heading “Company Shares Exchanged for Cash” in Schedule II hereto. Thus, the total Cash Payment shall in no event exceed $24,236,504. Furthermore, the receipt of any Additional Cash Payment will be subject to the condition that the Founder is still employed by the Company, Purchaser or a Subsidiary of Purchaser, unless the employment has been terminated by the Company or Purchaser other than on grounds that would qualify as grounds for termination for personal reasons (Sw: “personliga skäl”) or dismissal (Sw: “avsked”) under the Swedish Act on Employment Protection (Sw: “Lagen om anställningsskydd”), which grounds, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include redundancy (Sw: “arbetsbrist”), regardless of whether the particular Founder is covered by the Swedish Act on Employment Protection and the Company or Purchaser shall always have an obligation to state the grounds for termination of an employment in writing to a Founder, on the first or second anniversary of the Closing Date, as applicable; provided, however, that if a Founder dies or becomes unable to perform his duties due to “Disability” (which shall mean a condition disabling the individual from taking active part in the Company, to such extent that the individual is entitled to disability pension (Sw: “Förtidspension”) according to the Swedish Act on Social Insurance (Sw: “Socialförsäkringslagen”)) prior to the first or second anniversary of the Closing Date then the Additional Cash Payments, if any, that would have been payable to the Founder had the Founder been employed on such date, shall be paid to the Founder’s legal heirs or to the Founder, respectively.

 

(b) Company Shares Bought Against Consideration Paid through Issuance of Purchaser Shares. Of the Company Shares, Purchaser will further purchase the remaining 32,025 shares from the Founders and Employees against consideration paid with (i) $0.0001 in cash per Company Share and (ii) through the issuance of the number of shares (the “Purchaser Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Purchaser (“Purchaser Common”) having an aggregate market value of $7,388,427 to the Founders and the number of shares having an aggregate market value of $1,375,068 to the Employees, as set forth in Schedule II attached hereto.

(v) Schedule II sets forth, with respect to each Founder and Employee, the number of Founder Reserve Shares and Employee Reserve Shares to be released from the Share Reserve at each anniversary of the Closing Date.

(vi) Any Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares not released to the Founders and Employees according to (i) through (iv) above, will be promptly released from the Share Reserve to Purchaser.

 

(vii) The Founders and Employees agree that, as to each Founder and Employee, any Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares which remain in the Share Reserve at the time such Founder or Employee dies, becomes unable to perform his duties due to Disability, terminates his employment with the Company or Purchaser, or is terminated by the Company or Purchaser on grounds that would qualify as grounds for termination for personal reasons (Sw: “personliga skäl”) or dismissal (Sw: “avsked”) under the Swedish Act on Employment Protection (Sw: “Lagen om anställningsskydd”), which grounds, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include redundancy (Sw: “arbetsbrist”), regardless of whether the particular Founder or Employee is covered by the Swedish Act on Employment Protection, will be promptly released from the Share Reserve to Purchaser following the occurrence of such event, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 1.5(b) below. In the event that a Founder or Employee is terminated by the Company or Purchaser other than on grounds that would qualify as grounds for termination for personal reasons (Sw: “personliga skäl”) or dismissal (Sw: “avsked”) under the Swedish Act on Employment Protection (Sw: “Lagen om anställningsskydd”), which grounds, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include redundancy (Sw: “arbetsbrist”), regardless of whether the particular Founder or Employee is covered by the Swedish Act on Employment Protection, any Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares which remain in the Share Reserve on the applicable one, two, three and four year anniversaries will be released from the Share Reserve to such Founder or Employee on the one, two, three and four year anniversaries in the amounts set forth on Schedule II attached hereto, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 1.5(b) below.

(i) As soon as practicable after the Closing, the Founder Reserve Shares and Employee Reserve Shares (plus any additional shares as may be issued in respect of Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization effected by Purchaser after the Closing) (collectively, the “Reserve Shares”) will be issued at Purchaser’s irrevocable instruction by Transfer Agent in book entry in the name of each Founder and Employee and placed into and held in the Share Reserve, to be governed by the terms set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Reserve Shares, and in the Share Reserve Agreement to be entered into by Purchaser and the Transfer Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Share Reserve Agreement”). The issuance of the Founder Reserve Shares and Employee Reserve Shares shall be effective as of the Closing Date. The Share Reserve shall be held separate from other shares of Purchaser Common by Transfer Agent and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.5 and the Share Reserve Agreement. Transfer Agent shall maintain a list of all Reserve Shares held by each Founder and Employee in the Share Reserve, as adjusted from time to time and at least annually as a result of releases to Founders and Employees in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(i)-(iv) and to Purchaser, if any, in accordance with Section 1.5(b)(v).

 

(ii) Subject to the requirements set forth in Section 1.5(a) and (b), the Share Reserve shall be in existence immediately following the Closing time and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., California time, on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Share Reserve Period”). Within ten (10) days of the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Share Reserve Expiration Date”), the Transfer Agent shall deliver to Purchaser the remaining portion of the Founder Reserve Shares and Employee Reserve Shares held in the Share Reserve on such date; provided, however, that if Purchaser has delivered a Hold Notification (as defined in Section 1.5(b)(vi)), then the Transfer Agent shall continue to hold the Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares in respect of such Hold Notification in the Share Reserve until a Share Officer’s Certificate (as defined Section 1.5(b)(v)) or final instruction regarding the release to the Employee, Founder or Purchaser shall be delivered by Purchaser to the Transfer Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1.5(b)(vi).

 

(iii) Any shares of Purchaser Common or other equity securities issued or distributed by Purchaser (including shares issued upon a stock split) in respect of Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares in the Share Reserve at the time of issuance or distribution shall be added to the Share Reserve and become a part thereof, and shall be included in the definition of “Founder Reserve Shares” and “Employee Reserve Shares.” Cash dividends on Founder Reserve Shares and Employee Reserve Shares in the Share Reserve shall be held by the Transfer Agent in connection with the Share Reserve, to be distributed proportionally together with the Founder Reserve Shares and Employee Reserve Shares upon distribution thereof.

 

-7-


(iv) Each Founder and each Employee shall have voting rights and cash dividend distribution rights with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common contributed to the Share Reserve on behalf of such Founder and Employee (and on any voting securities added to the Share Reserve in respect of such shares of Purchaser Common).

 

(v) Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a certificate signed by any officer of Purchaser (a “Share Officer’s Certificate”) in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C to the Share Reserve Agreement stating that a Founder or Employee has died, has become unable to perform his duties due to Disability, has terminated his employment with the Company or Purchaser, or has been terminated by the Company or Purchaser on grounds that would qualify as grounds for termination for personal reasons (Sw: “personliga skäl”) or dismissal (Sw: “avsked”) under the Swedish Act on Employment Protection (Sw: “Lagen om anställningsskydd”), the Transfer Agent shall deliver to Purchaser out of the Share Reserve, as promptly as practicable, any Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares of such Founder or Employee held in the Share Reserve, including any cash dividends as may be distributed in respect of such Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares or any additional shares as may be issued in respect of such Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization effected by Purchaser after the Closing.

 

(vi) In the event that a Founder or Employee is terminated by the Company or Purchaser on grounds that would qualify as grounds for termination for personal reasons (Sw: “personliga skäl”) or dismissal (Sw: “avsked”) under the Swedish Act on Employment Protection (Sw: “Lagen om anställningsskydd”), which grounds, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include redundancy (Sw: “arbetsbrist”), then at least five (5) business days prior to delivery of the Share Officer’s Certificate to the Transfer Agent, Purchaser shall deliver a copy of any such Share Officer’s Certificate and a copy of a Hold Notification (defined below) to the Founder or Employee who is the subject of the Share Officer’s Certificate. Purchaser shall also deliver a notification to the Transfer Agent in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D to the Share Reserve Agreement to hold such Founder Reserve Shares or Employee Reserve Shares from any release (a “Hold Notification”) until a Share Officer’s Certificate or other written instruction shall be delivered to the Transfer Agent by Purchaser based on the outcome of the following procedures in this Section 1.5(b)(vi). The Founder or Employee shall have five (5) business days after the Share Officer’s Certificate is given to review and consider such Share Officer’s Certificate and to notify Purchaser in writing that such Founder or Employee disputes such Share Officer’s Certificate, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any dispute (a “Share Dispute Notice”). If the Founder or Employee does not deliver a Share Dispute Notice within ten (10) business days after the Share Officer’s Certificate is given, or if the Founder or Employee accepts the Share Officer’s Certificate in writing, such Share Officer’s Certificate shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Purchaser and such Founder or Employee, and Purchaser shall deliver the Share Officer’s Certificate to the Transfer Agent. In the event a Share Dispute Notice is delivered, the Founder or Employee and representatives of Purchaser shall meet within ten (10) business days after the Share Dispute Notice is given and shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute.

The Founders shall have ten (10) business days after the Determination is given to review and consider such Determination and to notify Purchaser in writing that the Founders dispute such Determination, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any dispute (each a “Dispute Notice”). If the Founders do not deliver a Dispute Notice within ten (10) business days after the Determination is given, or if the Founders accept the Determination in writing, such Determination shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Purchaser and each Founder. In the event a Dispute Notice is delivered, the Founders and representatives of Purchaser shall meet within ten (10) business days after the Dispute Notice is given and shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If a final resolution of such dispute is reached, the agreed-upon amount shall be reduced to a writing signed by the Purchaser and the Founders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Purchaser and each Founder.

Such Shareholder has the full power to exchange, assign, transfer and deliver his, her or its Company Shares hereunder, free and clear of all covenants, conditions, voting trust arrangements, liens, encumbrances, equities, security interests, restrictions, claims, charges, and other claims or rights of third parties (“Encumbrances”). This Agreement, when executed and delivered by such Shareholder, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Shareholder, legally enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. With respect to the Shareholders listed in Section 4.2(a) of the Company’s Disclosure Schedule (as defined in Article IV), such Shareholder’s ability to sell such Shareholder’s newly issued securities is subject to the information contained in Section 4.2(a) of the Company’s Disclosure Schedule.

 

3.2 No Conflict with Other Instruments. The execution and delivery of, and the performance by such Shareholder of, its obligations under this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto), the related agreements required to be entered into as conditions of Closing under Article VII hereof, and the transactions contemplated hereby (i) will not result in any violation of, conflict with, constitute a breach, violation or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under (x) any provision of the charter documents of the Company or of such Shareholder (in the event the Shareholder is not an individual) or (y) any agreement, arrangement, order, judgment or decree of any court or any governmental agency, contract, understanding, note, mortgage, indenture, lease, franchise, license, permit or other instrument to which such Shareholder is a party or by which such Shareholder or any of his or its properties or assets is bound, (ii) will not conflict with, or result in any breach or violation of, any statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or governmental regulation applicable to such Shareholder or his or its properties or assets, or (iii) will not result in the imposition of any Encumbrance upon the Company Shares owned by such Shareholder.

-15-


3.4 Sale Entirely for Own Account. The Purchaser Shares to be received by each Shareholder will be acquired for investment for the Shareholder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Shareholder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same other than pursuant to an appropriate exemption from registration under applicable law. By executing this Agreement, such Shareholder further represents that he, she or it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Purchaser Shares.

 

3.5 Reliance Upon the Shareholder’s Representations. Such Shareholder understands that the Purchaser Shares are not registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder, and that Purchaser’s reliance on such exemption is based on such Shareholder’s representations set forth herein. Such Shareholder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, such Shareholder has in mind merely acquiring the Purchaser Shares for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. Such Shareholder has no such intention.

 

3.6 Receipt of Information; Investment Experience.

Such Shareholder, either alone or with such Shareholder’s purchaser representative, has sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the acquisition of the Purchaser Shares to be issued to such Shareholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such investment.

 

3.7 Restricted Securities. Such Shareholder understands that the Purchaser Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Purchaser Shares or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Purchaser Shares must be held indefinitely. In particular, such Shareholder is aware that the Purchaser Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. In this connection, such Shareholder represents that such Shareholder understands that under Rule 144, the Purchaser Shares must be held for at least one year after purchase thereof from Purchaser prior to resale (two years in the absence of public current information about Purchaser) and that, under certain circumstances, the conditions for use of Rule 144 include the availability of public current information about Purchaser, that sales be effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions with a “market maker,” and that the number of shares being sold not exceed specified limitations. Such Shareholder acknowledges that such public current information about Purchaser for purposes of Rule 144 may not be available in the future.

ARTICLE VIII

 

INDEMNIFICATION AND ESCROW

 

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties, Etc.

 

(a) All of the Shareholders’ representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue until 5:00 p.m., California time, on the Indemnification Expiration Date. For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or in any update to the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by the Shareholders in this Agreement that such statement or item of information is true and correct. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or the performance or compliance of any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification set forth in this Article VIII, and nothing in this Section 8.1 shall be deemed to limit any right or remedy for fraud with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in

 

-36-


Article III and Article IV. All representations and warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate and expire as of the Closing, and any liability of Purchaser hereunder with respect to such representations and warranties shall thereupon cease, except in the event of fraud by Purchaser with respect thereto.

 

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

 

8.2 Indemnification and Escrow Arrangements.

 

(a) Indemnification Escrow Fund and Indemnification. Each of the Shareholders agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against such Shareholder’s pro rata portion (based on such Shareholder’s contribution to the Indemnification Escrow Fund set forth as the “Escrow Portion” and “Escrow Percentage” in Schedule II attached hereto and in Schedule I to the Escrow Agreement) of any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses of investigation and defense incurred by Purchaser directly or indirectly (including, after the Closing, by the Company) as a result of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of the Shareholders contained herein or in any agreements, Schedules or Exhibits or other ancillary documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any failure by the Shareholders to perform or comply with any covenant contained herein, or (iii) any claim against Purchaser or the Company after the Closing Date relating to or arising out of any action brought by or on behalf of the Shareholders (a “Shareholder Suit”) against the Company in connection with their sale of the Company Shares (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”). However, any tax liability for the year ending December 31, 2005 will not be included in such Losses. The Shareholders acknowledge that such Losses, if any, would relate to unresolved contingencies existing at the Closing, which if resolved at the Closing would have led to a reduction in the aggregate Consideration. At the Closing, the Shareholders will be deemed to have received and deposited with the Escrow Agent the Indemnification Escrow Consideration, without any act of any Shareholder. At the Closing, the Indemnification Escrow Consideration will be deposited with the Escrow Agent, such deposit to constitute part of the Indemnification Escrow Fund to be governed by the terms set forth herein with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Consideration and in the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnification Escrow Consideration held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate Purchaser for any Losses.

 

(b) Exclusive Remedy.

 

(i) The right of Purchaser after the Closing to assert indemnification claims and receive indemnification payments from the Indemnification Escrow Fund pursuant to this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive right and remedy exercisable by Purchaser with respect to any inaccuracy or breach in any representation, warranty, or

 

-37-


covenant contained in this Agreement or in any agreements, Schedules or Exhibits or other ancillary documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty constituting fraud, as to which fraudulent acts the Shareholders shall be liable for all Losses with respect thereto) or (ii) any Shareholder Suit, as to which Shareholder Suit the Founders shall be liable for all Losses with respect thereto.

 

(ii) The remedy provided for in this Section 8.2 shall be exclusive in case of a misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty and hence it is specifically agreed that no remedy whatsoever under the Sale of Goods Act (Sw. “Koplagen (1990:931)”) shall be available to Purchaser in case of a misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty constituting fraud, as to which fraudulent acts the Shareholders shall be liable for all Losses with respect thereto).

 

(c) Limitations. Purchaser may not receive any Indemnification Escrow Consideration from the Indemnification Escrow Fund unless and until an officer’s certificate (the “Officer’s Certificate”) identifying Losses which have an aggregate cumulative amount which exceeds $100,000, has been delivered to the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 8.2(h); in such case, Purchaser may recover from the Indemnification Escrow Consideration held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund the entire amount of the cumulative Losses.

 

(d) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Period. The Indemnification Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to such amount (or some portion thereof), that is necessary in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, subject to the objection of the Shareholders’ Representative and the subsequent arbitration of the matter in the manner provided in Section 8.2(j) hereof, to satisfy any unsatisfied Losses concerning facts and circumstances existing prior to the termination of the Indemnification Escrow Period specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to termination of the Indemnification Escrow Period. As soon as any such Loss has been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Shareholders the remaining portion of the Indemnification Escrow Consideration held in the Indemnification Escrow Fund that are not required to satisfy any other such unresolved Loss. Deliveries of Indemnification Escrow Consideration to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 8.2(d) shall be made in proportion to their respective original contributions to the Indemnification Escrow Fund.

 

(e) Insurance Proceeds. The amounts which, but for this Section 8.2(e), would be recoverable under this agreement, shall be reduced when and to the extent any insurance proceeds are recovered in respect thereof by the Purchaser and the Company under any policy of insurance carried by the Purchaser and the Company (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and net of any increase in the relevant insurance premium directly attributable to such recovery as verified in writing by the relevant insurance carrier at the time of recovery).

 

(f) Tax Savings. If any Loss would result in a tax benefit for the Company or the Purchaser or a Subsidiary of the Purchaser, the Loss should be reduced by the amount of the tax benefit, calculated by multiplying the Loss by the highest applicable marginal tax rate for the relevant company during the relevant financial year.

 

-38-


(g) Protection of Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Indemnification Escrow Fund during the Indemnification 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 Indemnification Escrow Consideration only in accordance with the terms of Section 1.5, Section 1.7(f), this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement.

 

(h) Claims Upon Indemnification Escrow Fund. Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before 5:00 p.m. California time on the Indemnification Expiration Date of an Officer’s Certificate: (A) stating that Purchaser has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Losses and specifying an aggregate amount thereof, and (B) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related and to the extent known a reasonable summary of the facts underlying the claim, and if no objection is received from the Shareholders’ Representative in accordance with Section 8.2(i), the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8.2(c) hereof, deliver to Purchaser out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, Indemnification Escrow Consideration in an amount equal to such Losses.

 

(i) Objections to Claims. 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 Shareholders’ Representative in the manner contemplated by Section 10.1 and for a period of 30 days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Purchaser of any Indemnification Escrow Consideration pursuant to Section 8.2(h) hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholders’ Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such 30-day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of cash from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 8.2(h) hereof, provided that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Shareholders’ Representative shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period.

 

(j) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.

 

(i) In case the Shareholders’ Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate, the Shareholders’ Representative and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Shareholders’ Representative and Purchaser should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and distribute cash from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

(ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative may demand arbitration of the matter

 

-39-


unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration in accordance with Section 10.11 below. The decision of a majority of the arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Section 8.2(g) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrators. The fees, expenses, and the costs of the arbitrators shall be borne by the non-prevailing party to the arbitration. For purposes of the foregoing, in any arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the amount stated in the Officer’s Certificate is at issue, Purchaser shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party in the event that the arbitrators award Purchaser less than the sum of one-half (1/2) of the disputed amount plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, the Shareholders as represented by the Shareholders’ Representative shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party. In all other instances, the arbitrators shall make a ruling as to which of the parties shall be deemed the non-prevailing party.

 

(k) Actions of the Shareholders’ Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Representative shall constitute a decision of all the Shareholders for whom a portion of the Indemnification Escrow Consideration otherwise payable to them are deposited in the Indemnification Escrow Fund and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Shareholders, and the Escrow Agent and Purchaser may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each Shareholder. The Escrow Agent and Purchaser 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 Shareholders’ Representative with respect to the Indemnification Escrow Consideration.

 

(l) Third-Party Claims. In the event Purchaser becomes aware of a third-party claim which Purchaser believes may result in a demand against the Indemnification Escrow Fund, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Shareholders’ Representative of such claim, and the Shareholders’ Representative, as representative for the Shareholders, shall be entitled, at his expense (which expense shall pursuant to and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.7(f) be payable out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund), to participate in any defense of such claim. If the amount in controversy in connection with any third-party claim shall be less than the value of the Indemnification Escrow Consideration remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund (determined in accordance with Section 8.2(d)) and the Shareholders’ Representative acknowledges in writing to Purchaser that if the allegations in such claim are in fact true then any liability arising from the adjudication or other settlement of such claim would be for the account of the Shareholders and would be a valid claim against the Indemnification Escrow Fund, then the Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim and, if at the time any settlement of such claim shall be proposed, the amount in controversy shall continue to be less than the value of the Indemnification Escrow Consideration remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund (determined in accordance with Section 8.2(d)), shall have the power to settle such claim in an amount not to exceed such remaining value. If the

 

-40-


Shareholders’ Representative is not entitled to or chooses not to assume the defense of any such claim, Purchaser shall consult with and attempt to solicit the consent of the Shareholders’ Representative prior to and in connection with any settlement of any such claim, but Purchaser shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim. If any such claim is, however, settled without the consent of the Shareholders’ Representative and Purchaser seeks to recover the amount of the settlement by claiming against the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the settlement of any such claim with third-party claimants shall not alone be determinative of the amount of any claim against the Indemnification Escrow Fund and the Shareholders’ Representative may dispute such amount through the process provided by Section 8.2(j). In the event that the Shareholders’ Representative has consented in writing to any such settlement and acknowledged that the claim by Purchaser is a valid claim against the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Shareholders’ Representative shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by Purchaser against the Indemnification Escrow Fund with respect to such settlement.

This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

 

10.5 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.

10.6 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, 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.

10.10 Absence of Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. No provision of this Agreement is intended, or will be interpreted, to provide to or create for any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, affiliate, shareholder, employee, partner or any party hereto or any other person or entity, and all provisions hereof will be personal solely between the parties to this Agreement.

 

10.11 Arbitration.

 

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.

(c) In arbitral proceedings, each party shall appoint one arbitrator. Where there are multiple parties on either side, the multiple parties, jointly, shall appoint one arbitrator.
