For purposes of calculating the amount of cash issuable to each Company Stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.6(a), all shares of Company Capital Stock held by each Company Stockholder shall be aggregated, and the aggregate amount of cash issuable to each Company Stockholder shall be rounded (up or down) to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that in no event shall the maximum amount of cash issuable pursuant to the Merger exceed the Merger Consideration (other than to the extent attributable to any such rounding).
          (b) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent-Owned Shares. Each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Company or owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.
          (c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock outstanding

-21-


 

immediately prior to the Effective Time shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
          (d) Unvested Shares. If any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement, early exercise purchase agreement, or other agreement with the Company (“Unvested Shares”), then the consideration payable in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.6(a) shall also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition. To the extent Unvested Shares are being held under an escrow arrangement, or the Company has rights to require such Unvested Shares to be held under an escrow arrangement, then the consideration payable in respect of such Unvested Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by Parent or its designee under a similar escrow arrangement.
     2.7 Treatment of Company Options; Treatment of Company Warrants.
          (a) At the Effective Time, each holder of a vested, unexpired, unexercised and outstanding Company Option, by virtue of the Merger without any action on the part of the holder, shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation of such Company Option a cash amount equal to the Option Consideration for each share of IM Common Stock or MW Common Stock, as applicable (it being understood that with respect to a Company Option held by a person whose employment by the Company was terminated prior to the Effective Time, Option Consideration shall only be paid with respect to the portion of such Company Option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and was vested as of the time such person’s employment relationship with the Company terminated; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Company director who holds a Company Option and who resigns in connection with the Merger (whether or not prior to the Effective Time) shall be deemed for purposes of such Company Option and this Agreement to have terminated his service for “Good Reason” (as defined in the applicable Plan or stock option agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Time for purposes of any acceleration of vesting to which such director may be entitled to under his Company Option in connection with a termination for Good Reason in connection with a change of control). All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding contemplated by Section 2.10(e). The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all necessary actions (including adopting any necessary resolutions of the Board and/or a committee of the Board or providing all required notices and obtaining any required consents) to ensure that all outstanding Company Options are treated as provided for in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) and that all Plans are terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and no holder of any such Company Option or participant in any such Plan shall have any rights thereafter with respect thereto except as expressly provided in this Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b). Parent shall pay or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay any amounts due pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days, after the Effective Time (less amounts to be placed into the Escrow Account and the Stockholder Representative Fund as set forth in Section 2.9(d) hereof).

-22-


 

          (b) As soon as practicable following the Closing but effective as of the Effective Time, each unvested, unexpired, unexercised and outstanding Company Option shall be assumed by Parent as a Parent Option. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Company Option so assumed by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) set forth in the applicable Plan and the option agreements relating thereto, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (a) such assumed Company Option will be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of IM Common Stock or MW Common Stock, as applicable, that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock and (b) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Option shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of IM Common Stock or MW Common Stock, as applicable, at which such assumed Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing Date by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that the exercise price of the option, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424 of the IRC.
          (c) At the Effective Time, each holder of an unexpired, unexercised and outstanding Company Warrant, by virtue of the Merger without any action on the part of the holder, shall be entitled to receive a cash amount equal to the Warrant Consideration for each share of IM Common Stock, MW Common Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, that would have been issued upon exercise of such Company Warrant had it been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Company Warrant shall be cancelled and terminated as of the Effective Time, and no holder of any such Company Warrant shall have any rights thereafter with respect thereto except as expressly provided in this Section 2.7(c). Any amounts due pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) shall be paid upon surrender of the warrant certificate (a “Warrant Certificate”) representing such Company Warrant in the manner provided in Section 2.10 (less amounts to be placed into the Escrow Account and the Stockholder Representative Fund as set forth in Section 2.9(d) hereof).
     2.8 Dissenting Shares.
          (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Company Stockholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the consideration payable in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.6(a). Such Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn

-23-


 

or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the consideration payable in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.6(a), without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.10.
          (b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Parent (with the approval of the Stockholder Representative in accordance with Article VIII) (i) makes any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.6(a) (and subject to the provisions of Section 8.2) or (ii) incurs any other reasonable costs or expenses in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) (together “Dissenting Share Payments”), Parent shall be entitled to recover under the terms of Article VIII the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments without regard to the Basket Amount.
     2.9 Payments at Closing.
          (a) Notwithstanding Section 2.6(a), the Escrow Amount and, if applicable, the Working Capital Escrow Amount, shall be withheld from the aggregate amount payable to the Company Stockholders, the holders of vested Company Options and the holders of Company Warrants (collectively, the “Company Indemnifying Parties”) in respect of their Company Capital Stock, vested Company Options and Company Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.7(a) and 2.7(c), as the case may be.
          (b) At Closing, Parent will make the following payments:
               (i) if applicable, to the Working Capital Escrow Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Working Capital Escrow Amount, which shall be managed and paid out by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11 and of the Escrow Agreement;
               (ii) to the Escrow Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Escrow Amount and the Stockholder Representative Fund, which Escrow Amount shall be managed and paid out by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement and which Stockholder Representative Fund shall be managed and paid out by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 8.5 hereof and the Escrow Agreement;
               (iii) the aggregate amount payable to the Company Stockholders at Closing pursuant to Section 2.6(a) and holders of Company Warrants pursuant to Section 2.7(c) to an account in the name of the Payment Agent, that is designated in writing by the Stockholder

-24-


 

Representative not less than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
          (c) Upon (i) receipt by the Payment Agent of the amount set forth in Section 2.9(b)(iii), (ii) receipt by the holders of Company Options of the Option Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7(a) and (iii) receipt by Escrow Agent of the Escrow Amount, the Stockholder Representative Fund and, if applicable, the Working Capital Escrow Amount, Parent shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to make payments pursuant to this Agreement other than (A) its obligation to make any payments required by Section 2.11 and (B) its obligation to make payments to the holders of Dissenting Shares, if any, following the Effective Time.
          (d) The portion of the Escrow Amount contributed by each Company Indemnifying Party shall be an amount equal to (x) such Company Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied by (y) the Escrow Amount. The portion of the Stockholder Representative Fund contributed by each Company Indemnifying Party shall be an amount equal to (x) such Company Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied by (y) the Stockholder Representative Fund. Without any act of any Company Indemnifying Party, each Company Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have received the full consideration payable in respect of its securities in accordance with Section 2.6(a), Section 2.7(a) and Section 2.7(c) and to have deposited with the Escrow Agent an amount equal to (x) such Company Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied by (y) the Escrow Amount, as security for the indemnity provided for in Article VIII and as security for any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(iii).
     2.10 Surrender of Certificates.
          (a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Payment Agent”) for the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock to receive the funds to which holders of shares of Company Capital Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.6(a). Such funds shall be invested by the Payment Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agent’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.3(e).
          (b) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the later of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the date the Payment Agent receives the Spreadsheet and confirms that it has received all other information it reasonably requested in order to make the payments pursuant to Section 2.6 and Section 2.7(c)), Parent shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock converted into the right to receive the consideration payable in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.6(a) (together with the Warrant Certificates, the “Certificates”), (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent and shall contain such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the consideration payable in respect of such securities in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.7(c). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by

-25-


 

Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the consideration payable in respect of such securities in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.7(c), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the ownership of the consideration payable in respect of such securities in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.7(c). Promptly following surrender of any such Certificates, the Payment Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the consideration payable in respect of such securities in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.7(c).
          (c) Payments with respect to Unsurrendered Shares; No Liability. At any time following the 180th day after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Payment Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Payment Agent and not disbursed to holders of shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Warrants (including, without limitation, all interest and other income received by the Payment Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Payment Agent shall be liable to any holder of a share of Company Capital Stock or of a Company Warrant for any consideration delivered in respect of such share of Company Capital Stock or such Company Warrant to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.
          (d) Transfers of Ownership. If the payment of the consideration payable in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 2.6(a) or Company Warrants in accordance with Section 2.7(c) is to be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of payment that the Certificates so surrendered be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer (including without limitation, if requested by Parent or the Payment Agent, a medallion guarantee), and that the persons requesting such payment will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of such consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.
          (e) Required Withholding. Unless otherwise withheld or deducted by the Company, each of the Payment Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the IRC or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

-26-


 

          (f) Adjustments. If during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Capital Stock, shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares of Company Capital Stock, or any similar transaction, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the consideration payable in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.6(a) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
          (g) No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. Payment of the consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(a) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.
          (h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the consideration payable in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 2.6(a); provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
     2.11 Adjustments to the Merger Consideration.
          (a) Working Capital and Long-Term Debt Balance Adjustments.
               (i) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Parent a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company attaching a reasonable and good faith estimate of the Working Capital as of fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing (but including an estimation of Third Party Expenses as of the Closing) (the “Estimated Working Capital”) and the Long-Term Debt Balance as of the Closing (the “Closing Long-Term Debt Balance,” and which estimate shall be the “Estimated Long-Term Debt Balance”). The Estimated Working Capital and Estimated Long-Term Debt Balance shall be determined in accordance with this Agreement, including Schedule 2.11 and Section 2.11(c), and, in the case of Estimated Working Capital, shall be in the same form as the Form Working Capital Statement. Upon delivery of the Estimated Working Capital and the Estimated Long-Term Debt Balance to Parent, the Company shall provide Parent and its representatives with reasonable access to the Employees, agreements and books and records of the Company to verify the accuracy of such amounts. The Merger Consideration payable at the Closing shall either be (i) increased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated

-27-


 

Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Target or (ii) reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target; provided, however, that if the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Threshold Amount, (x) the Merger Consideration shall not be adjusted at Closing pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(i), (y) the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i) and (z) any adjustments to the Merger Consideration based on the Closing Working Capital shall only be made after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i); provided, further, that if the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital is greater or less than the Working Capital Target is less than $100,000, then for purposes of this section, no adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration. In addition, the Merger Consideration payable at the Closing shall either be (i) decreased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Long-Term Debt Balance is greater than the Long-Term Debt Balance Target or (ii) increased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Long-Term Debt Balance is less than the Long-Term Debt Balance Target.
               (ii) Parent shall cause to be prepared and, as soon as practical, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, shall cause to be delivered to the Stockholder Representative, a calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing (the “Closing Working Capital”) and the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance (the “Closing Statement”) together with such schedules and data with respect to the determination thereof as may be appropriate to support such Closing Statement. The Closing Working Capital and the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance shall be determined in accordance with this Agreement, including Schedule 2.11 and Section 2.11(c), and, in the case of Closing Working Capital, shall be in the same form as the Form Working Capital Statement. If Parent does not deliver the Closing Statement to the Stockholder Representative within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then the Stockholder Representative, with the reasonable assistance of those employees of the Surviving Corporation performing the functions of Chief Financial Officer or the Vice President of Finance and those individuals who, directly or indirectly, report to the Chief Financial Officer or the Vice President of Finance along with any other advisers the Stockholder Representative may reasonably engage (collectively, the “Finance Employees”), may prepare and present the Closing Statement within an additional ninety (90) days. If the Stockholder Representative prepares the Closing Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then, with respect to such statement or notice, all references in this Section 2.11(a) to the Stockholder Representative and Parent, respectively, shall be read as references to Parent and the Stockholder Representative, respectively. Following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall provide the Stockholder Representative and the Finance Employees who are assisting the Stockholder Representative in the preparation of the Closing Statement, if applicable, with full and complete access to the records of the Surviving Corporation, solely for the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement in accordance with this Agreement, all to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by the Stockholder Representative and in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to the Surviving Corporation’s business. Parent agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance become final and binding on the parties hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it will not take, and will not permit the Surviving Corporation to take, any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance are to be based or derived from that would materially impede or delay, or otherwise make unavailable information required for, the determination of the Closing

-28-


 

Working Capital or the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance in the manner and utilizing the methods required by this Agreement. The Closing Working Capital shall reflect as a prepaid expense or accrued, reserved or actual liability an amount equal to the full amount of the unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes of the Company as of the Closing Date, whether or not then due or payable.
               (iii) If the Stockholder Representative disagrees in whole or in part with the Closing Statement, then within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Closing Statement, it shall notify Parent of such disagreement in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of any such disagreement; provided, however, that any such objection shall be limited to any failure on the part of Parent to prepare the Closing Statement in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.11(a) and to mathematical or similar errors. To be effective, any such Notice of Disagreement shall include a copy of the Closing Statement marked to indicate those specific line items that are in dispute (the “Disputed Line Items”) and shall be accompanied by the Stockholder Representative’s calculation of each of the Disputed Line Items and the Stockholder Representative’s revised Closing Statement setting forth its determination of the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance, as the case may be. To the extent the Stockholder Representative provides a Notice of Disagreement within such 30-day period, all items that are not Disputed Line Items shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder unless the resolution of such Disputed Line Item affects an undisputed item, in which case such undisputed item shall remain open and be considered a Disputed Line Item by Parent. In the event that the Stockholder Representative does not provide a Notice of Disagreement within such 30-day period, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted in full the Closing Statement as prepared by Parent, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any Notice of Disagreement is timely provided and contains the proper information as aforesaid, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any Disputed Line Items. During such 15-day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall have access to the working papers, schedules and calculations of the other used in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Notice of Disagreement and the determination of the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance and Disputed Line Items. If, at the end of such period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve such Disputed Line Items, then such Disputed Line Items shall be referred to PricewaterhouseCoopers or, if PricewaterhouseCoopers declines to serve, such other firm selected by the mutual agreement of Parent and Stockholder Representative (the “Settlement Accountants”). Parent and the Stockholder Representative will enter into reasonable and customary arrangements for the services to be rendered by the Settlement Accountants under this Section 2.11(a)(iii). The Settlement Accountants shall be directed to determine as promptly as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) days from the date that the dispute is submitted to it), whether the Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.11(a) and whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Working Capital or the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance requires adjustment, limiting its review, however, only to the Disputed Line Items so submitted. The Settlement Accountants shall resolve each Disputed Line Item by calculating such Disputed Line Item in accordance with this Agreement and establishing as the final amount of such Disputed Line Item the applicable amount so calculated. The Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative shall each furnish to the Settlement Accountants such work

-29-


 

papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as such Settlement Accountants may reasonably request. The determination of the Settlement Accountants shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. The amounts determined to be the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Long-Term Debt Balance pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii) and Section 2.11(a)(iii) shall constitute the “Final Working Capital” and the “Final Long-Term Debt Balance.”
               (iv) The fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountants shall be allocated between Parent and the Company Indemnifying Parties in such manner that the Company Indemnifying Parties shall be responsible for that portion of the fees and expenses equal to such fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar value of Disputed Line Items submitted to the Settlement Accountants that are resolved in a manner further from the position submitted to the Settlement Accountants by the Stockholder Representative and closer to the position submitted to the Settlement Accountants by Parent (as finally determined by the Settlement Accountants), and the denominator of which is the total dollar value of the Disputed Line Items so submitted, and Parent shall be responsible for the remainder of such fees and expenses and the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to pay such fees on behalf of the Company Indemnifying Parties from the Stockholder Representative Fund.
          (b) Post Closing Adjustment Amounts.
               (i) After determination of the Final Working Capital and the Final Long-Term Debt Balance, the Merger Consideration shall be, if necessary, further adjusted such that Parent and the Company Stockholders receive or make payments to each other so that, after taking into account any prior payments under Section 2.11(a)(i), each receives or makes payments in an amount exactly equal to the amount that would have been made under Section 2.11(a)(i) if the Estimated Working Capital had equaled the Final Working Capital and the Estimated Long-Term Debt Balance had equaled the Final Long-Term Debt Balance. All payments to be made under this Section 2.11(b)(i) may be made on a net basis taking into account payments received under Section 2.11(a)(i).
               (ii) If a net payment is required to be made by Parent under Section 2.11(b)(i), then Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deliver, (A) if applicable (x) written instructions to the Escrow Agent to deliver the amount of such net payment out of the Working Capital Escrow Account to the Payment Agent, and (y) if the Working Capital Escrow Amount is insufficient to make such net payment, an amount equal to the difference between the Working Capital Escrow Amount and such net payment, or (B) if the Working Capital Escrow Account was not established, an amount equal to such net payment, each of (A) and (B) together with interest on such net payment from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the Prime Rate. Each such amount shall be delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Payment Agent, or to another account designated in written instructions by the Stockholder Representative, for the benefit of the Company Indemnifying Parties.
               (iii) If a net payment is required to be made to Parent under Section 2.11(b)(i), then the Stockholder Representative shall provide written instruction to the Escrow

-30-


 

Agent to deliver from the Escrow Account to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent, an amount equal to such net payment, together with interest on such net payment from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the Prime Rate.
               (iv) If there remains a balance in the Working Capital Escrow Account after giving effect to the foregoing payments, then the Stockholder Representative shall provide written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver such balance to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent.
               (v) Payments pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be deemed adjustments to the Merger Consideration. Upon any payment pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii), each of the Company Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to (x) such Company Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied by (y) such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.11(b), all computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed in the period for which such interest is payable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Final Working Capital and the Final Long-Term Debt Balance are final and binding on the parties hereto.
          (c) Calculations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto covenant and agree that no amount shall be (or is intended to be) included, in whole or in part (either as an increase or a reduction), more than once in the calculation of (including any component of) the Estimated Working Capital, the Estimated Long-Term Debt Balance, the Final Working Capital, the Final Long-Term Debt Balance or any other calculated amount pursuant to this Agreement if the effect of such additional inclusion (either as an increase or a reduction) would be to cause such amount to be over- or under-counted for purposes of such calculation. The parties hereto further covenant and agree that if any provision of this Agreement requires an amount or calculation to be “determined in accordance with this Agreement and GAAP” (or words of similar import), then to the extent that the terms of this Agreement (including Schedule 2.11) expressly conflict with, or are expressly inconsistent with, GAAP in connection with such determination, the terms of this Agreement (including Schedule 2.11) shall control.

be qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC and each trust intended to qualify under Section 501(a) of the IRC is so qualified and (i) has either applied for, prior to the expiration of the requisite period under applicable Treasury Regulations or IRS pronouncements, or obtained a favorable determination, notification, advisory and/or opinion letter, as applicable, as to its qualified status from the IRS covering all amendments to the IRC for which the IRS will currently issue on, or still has a remaining period of time under applicable Treasury Regulations or IRS pronouncements in which to apply for such letter and to make any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination. To the Company’s Knowledge, for each Company Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC there has been no event, condition or circumstance that has adversely affected or is likely to adversely affect such qualified status. No “prohibited transaction,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the IRC or Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA, and not otherwise exempt under Section 408 of ERISA, has occurred with respect to any Company Employee Plan for which the Company would have any material liability.

Each Company Employee Plan can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued after the Effective Time in accordance with its terms, without liability to Parent, Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates (other than ordinary administration expenses). There are no audits, inquiries or proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened by the IRS or DOL, or any other Governmental Entity with respect to any Company Employee Plan.

No Company Employee Plan provides health benefits that are not fully insured through an insurance Contract.
          (e) No Post-Employment Obligations. No Company Employee Plan or Employee Agreement provides, or reflects or represents any liability to provide, post-termination or retiree benefits to any person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA or other applicable statute, and neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any Employee (either individually or to Employees as a group) or any other person that such Employee(s) or other person would be provided with post-termination or retiree benefits, except to the extent required by statute.

There are no pending, or to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened claims or actions against the Company under any worker’s compensation policy or long-term disability policy. To the Company’s Knowledge, the Company does not have any direct or indirect liability with respect to any misclassification of any person as an independent contractor rather than as an employee, or with respect to any employee leased from another employer.

          (l) No Interference or Conflict. To the Knowledge of the Company, no Employee of the Company is obligated under any Contract, subject to any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with such person’s efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would interfere with the Company’s business. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business as presently conducted or contemplated to be conducted nor any activity of such Employees in connection with the carrying on of the Company’s business as presently conducted or contemplated to be conducted will, to the Knowledge of the Company, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any Contract under which any of such Employees is now bound.

Until the earlier of (i) the Effective Time, or (ii) the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, the Company shall not (nor shall the Company permit, as applicable, any of its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives or affiliates to), directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions with any party other than Parent and its designees: (a) solicit, encourage, initiate or participate in any inquiry, negotiations or discussions, or enter into any agreement, with respect to any offer or proposal to acquire all or any material part of the Company’s business, properties or technologies, or any amount of the Company Capital Stock (whether or not outstanding), whether by merger, purchase of assets, tender offer, license or otherwise (an “Acquisition Proposal”), or effect any such transaction, (b) disclose any information not customarily disclosed to any person concerning the Company’s business, technologies or properties, or afford to any person or entity access to its properties, technologies, books or

records, not customarily afforded such access, (c) assist or cooperate with any person to make any proposal to purchase all or any part of the Company Capital Stock or assets of the Company, other than inventory in the ordinary course of business, or (d) enter into any agreement with any person providing for the acquisition of the Company, whether by merger, purchase of assets, license, tender offer or otherwise. In the event that the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates shall receive, prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, any offer, proposal, or request, directly or indirectly, of the type referenced in clause (a), (c), or (d) above, or any request for disclosure or access as referenced in clause (b) above, the Company shall immediately notify Parent thereof, including information as to the identity of the offeror or the party making any such offer or proposal and the specific terms of such offer or proposal, as the case may be, and such other information related thereto as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that if any contractual arrangements with the Company existing on August 11, 2006 prohibit the disclosure of the identity of the offeror or the party making any such offer or proposal, the Company shall disclose to Parent the material financing and closing conditions of such offer or proposal, whether the offeror or party making such offer or proposal is a publicly or privately held company, and if a publicly held company, the approximate market capitalization of such company; provided, further, that prior to the Stockholder Approval the terms of this Section 5.2 shall not prohibit the Company from considering an Acquisition Proposal submitted after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such person or group (and not withdrawn); provided, that the Company shall give Parent prior written notice prior to considering any such Acquisition Proposal. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 5.2 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties hereto that Parent shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 5.2 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent may be entitled at law or in equity. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Board from withdrawing, amending, changing or modifying its recommendation in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the Merger (any of the foregoing actions, whether by the Board or a committee thereof, a “Change of Recommendation”) at any time prior to the Stockholder Approval if the Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that in light of such Acquisition Proposal, such Change of Recommendation is required in order for the Board to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law provided, that the Company shall give Parent prior written notice twenty-four (24) hours prior to making any Change of Recommendation.

     6.16 Tax Matters.
          (a) Tax Returns. The Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for preparing all Tax Returns for the Company and each of its Subsidiaries that are to be filed after the Closing Date and include a period, or part of a period that began before the Closing Date (each, including any amendment thereof, a “Final Return”). All Final Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns, unless otherwise required by law, and shall be delivered to the Stockholder Representative no later than thirty (30) days before the due date for the filing of the Final Return (taking into account properly acquired extensions of time to file) for its reasonable review and approval. Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to, cooperate fully with Stockholder Representative and its representatives, on its review of the Final Return. The Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have approved to the Final Return unless it delivers a written notice of disagreement to Parent within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Final Return (the “Disagreement Notice”). If the Stockholder Representative delivers the Disagreement Notice, Parent and the Stockholder Representative will negotiate in good faith to resolve the issue. If they have not reached agreement within ten (10) days after the receipt by Parent of the Disagreement Notice, the open issues shall be resolved by the Settlement Accountants. The fees of the Settlement Accountants with respect to this Section 6.16(a) shall be paid one-half by each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative.
          (b) Straddle Periods. For purposes of the representations made in Section 3.16, a Final Return for a period that begins before the Closing Date but does not end on or prior to the Closing Date would be prepared on the basis of a “closing of the books” basis, to the extent possible, and items that are determined on a annual basis, such as depreciation, shall be

-70-


 

allocated based on the number of days in the Tax period. If the Tax is imposed on other than income, the return would be based on the number of days in the period before the Closing Date. The Company shall choose a date on or before the Closing Date to use for the formal closing of the books and shall close its books for the period effective on such date.
          (c) Books and Records; Cooperation. The Surviving Corporation and the Shareholder Representative shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, (i) provide the other party and its representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary and (ii) retain and provide the other party and its representatives with reasonable access to all records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination or proceeding, provided that the foregoing shall be done at the expense of the party making such request and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the parties.
          (d) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes shall be split equally between the Company and Parent.
          (e) Participation of Stockholder Representative in Tax Disputes. After the Closing Date, Parent shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of the Company in any and all Tax audits, assessments or administrative or court proceedings relating to Tax Returns for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to participate in any such audit, assessment or proceeding and to employ counsel of his choice (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent) for purposes of such participation to the extent that any such audit, assessment or proceeding could result in an indemnity payment by the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.2. In the event that Parent proposes to compromise or settle any Tax claim, or consent or agree to any Tax liability, relating to the Company that would result in an indemnity payment by the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.2, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. Without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Parent shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any issue or claim arising in any such audit, assessment or proceeding, or otherwise agree to or consent to any Tax liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement would result in an indemnity payment by the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.2.

     8.2 Indemnification.
          (a) The Company Indemnifying Parties agree to severally and not jointly indemnify and hold Parent and its officers, directors, and affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation (the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, royalties, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation and defense (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) incurred, accrued or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, as a result of, arising out of or caused by:
               (i) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement to which the Company is a party, or any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement;
               (ii) any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it contained in this Agreement;
               (iii) any Dissenting Share Payments;
               (iv) the matters set forth on Schedule 8.2(a)(iv) subject to the limitations on the Company Indemnifying Parties’ indemnity obligations set forth therein;
net of (A) any recoveries by Parent or the Surviving Corporation under Company insurance policies existing at the Closing Date; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Parent or the Surviving Corporation to seek to obtain such recoveries other than with respect to existing Company insurance policies with respect to which premiums were paid by the Company prior to the Effective Time, or (B) indemnities from third parties; and provided, further, that Losses shall not include losses in the nature of incidental or consequential damages, damage to reputation or goodwill or other items of a speculative nature. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall have an obligation to seek recovery under such Company insurance policies where appropriate.
          (b) The Company Indemnifying Parties shall not have any rights to reimbursement or indemnification under Section 6.13 with respect to any indemnification obligations of such Company Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII or any expenses incurred by such Company Indemnifying Parties in connection therewith.
          (c) For the purpose of this Article VIII only, when determining the amount of Losses attributable to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the company (but not for determining whether any such representation or warranty has been breached), any representation or warranty given or made by the Company that is qualified in scope as to materiality (including Material Adverse Effect) shall be deemed to be made or given without such qualification.
     8.3 Escrow Arrangements.
     (a) Escrow Account. The Escrow Amount shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by

-76-


 

them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VIII and to satisfy any obligation with respect to the calculation of Final Working Capital and Final Long-Term Debt Balance under Section 2.11.
          (b) Basket. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Parties may not recover any Losses unless and until one or more Officer’s Certificates identifying Losses, which are determined pursuant to this Article VIII to be indemnifiable and reimbursable pursuant to this Article VIII in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Basket Amount”) has or have been delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative as provided in Section 8.3(f), in which case the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses so determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket Amount shall not apply as a threshold to any and all claims or payments made with respect to (i) any breach of the representations and warranties made in Section 3.16(c) (Tax Matters) that results in liability for Pre-Closing Taxes, (ii) Special Losses (other than those Losses described in Section 8.1(b)(2) that are not satisfied out of the Escrow Amount), or (iii) with respect to the matters described in to Section 8.2(a)(iii) or Section 8.2(a)(iv). Losses with respect to the matters described in Section 8.2(a)(iv) incurred by Parent shall not be included in any calculation as to whether the Basket Amount has been attained.
          (c) Satisfaction of Claims. Claims by an Indemnified Party for Losses shall be satisfied: (A) first, from the Escrow Account and (B) second, with respect to Special Losses only, against the Company Indemnifying Parties directly, subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(f) and Section 8.4.
          (d) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Periods.
               (i) On the first day of the thirteenth (13th) month after the Closing Date (the “First Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Indemnifying Parties an amount equal to (x) $21,250,000 minus (y) any amounts which have been used to satisfy claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate prior to the First Release Date, or which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, are necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the First Release Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the First Release Date. All dividends, income, interest, gains and other distributions earned with respect to the Escrow Amount which has accrued through the date of the First Release Date shall be released on the First Release Date and Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Indemnifying Parties such amount.
               (ii) On the first day of the nineteenth (19th) month after the Closing Date (the “Final Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Indemnifying Parties an amount equal to (i) the then remaining balance in the Escrow Account minus (ii) any amounts which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, are necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Final Release Date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the Final Release Date. As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Indemnifying Parties the remaining portion of the Escrow Account, if any, not required to satisfy such claims. All dividends, income, interest, gains and other distributions earned with respect to the Escrow Amount which has accrued from the First Release Date

-77-


 

through the Final Release Date shall be released on the Final Release Date and Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company Indemnifying Parties such amount.
               (iii) Upon any payments of the Escrow Amount out of the Escrow Account to the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Section 8.3(d), each of the Company Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to (x) such Company Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied by (y) such payment.
          (e) Protection of Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Account during the period the Escrow Account is in effect, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Parent and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Account only in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII. The Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest the Escrow Amount in a liquid U.S. bank money market account. All income earned on the Escrow Amount shall be added to and deemed a part of the Escrow Account. For tax reporting and withholding purposes, all such income shall be treated, and shall be reported by the Escrow Agent, as income of the Company Indemnifying Parties, in an amount for each Company Indemnifying Party equal to (x) such Company Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied by (y) such interest amount.
          (f) Claims for Indemnification.
               (i) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before the Final Release Date of an Officer’s Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(g) and Section 2.11, deliver to Parent, as promptly as practicable, cash in the Escrow Account equal to such Losses.
               (ii) If Losses incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties with respect to Special Losses exceed the value of the cash in the Escrow Account, then an Indemnified Party may make a claim directly against the Company Indemnifying Parties for their Pro Rata Portion multiplied by such excess amount not recovered from the Escrow Account; provided, however, that except as set forth in Section 8.4(a) hereof, in no event shall a Company Indemnifying Party’s aggregate indemnification obligations with respect to Losses incurred or sustained by any and all Indemnified Parties exceed the Merger Consideration actually received by such Company Indemnifying Party.
               (iii) Subject to the first sentence of Section 8.5(a), if the Stockholder Representative 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 Company Indemnifying Parties that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Officer’s Certificate.
          (g) Objections to Claims against the Escrow Account.
               (i) 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 for a period of thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall

-78-


 

make no delivery to Parent of any Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 8.3(f) unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Stockholder Representative to make such delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of cash from the Escrow Account 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, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.
               (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the calculation of the Final Working Capital and the Final Long-Term Debt Balance, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11(a), shall be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement and the Company Indemnifying Parties, and none of the Parent or the Stockholder Representative shall have any further right to challenge such calculation thereof or seek indemnity under this Article VIII with respect to any Losses arising therefrom.
          (h) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
               (i) In case the Stockholder Representative shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate to recover Losses from the Escrow Account, or from the Company Indemnifying Parties directly, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, the Stockholder Representative 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 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 Account, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and distribute cash from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms thereof.
               (ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to sixty (60) days after delivery of an Officer’s Certificate, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the 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, and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative. In the event that, within thirty (30) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Stockholder Representative cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within fifteen (15) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. If either party fails to select an arbitrator during this fifteen (15) day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected by the other party.
               (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 without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the

-79-


 

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 Company 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). Within thirty (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.
               (iv) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The forgoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute between the Company Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII, whether relating to claims upon the Escrow Account or to the other indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VIII.
          (i) Third-Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim which Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Account or for other indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative of such claim, provided, that the failure to so notify the Stockholder Representative shall not relieve it of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Stockholder Representative, and the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Company Indemnifying Parties, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such claim, which expense shall be reimbursable out of the Stockholder Representative Fund. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Stockholder Representative, no settlement of any such claim with third-party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such matter. In the event that the Stockholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the Company Indemnifying Parties shall not have any power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by Parent against the Escrow Account with respect to such settlement.
     8.4 Maximum Payments; Remedy; Limitation of Liability.
          (a) Other than with respect to Special Losses, which shall be subject to Section 8.3(f)(ii), the maximum amount the Indemnified Parties may recover from the Company Indemnifying Parties pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 8.2 for Losses shall be

-80-


 

limited to an amount equal to (x) such Company Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion multiplied by (y) the Escrow Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall limit the liability of a Company Stockholder in respect of Losses suffered by the Indemnified Parties arising out of any fraud determined to have been committed by such Company Stockholder in connection with this Agreement, in any Related Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement on the part of the Company.
          (b) Nothing herein shall limit the liability of the Company for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement if the Merger does not close. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company Indemnifying Parties shall have no indemnification obligation under this Agreement if the Transaction does not close. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Company Indemnifying Party shall have any liability for Losses or Special Losses under this Article VIII to the extent (x) there is included in the Balance Sheet a specific liability or reserve related to such Loss or (y) such Loss is reflected in the Final Working Capital.
          (c) 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 VIII 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.
     8.5 Stockholder Representative.
          (a) Each of the Company Indemnifying Parties hereby appoints John Backus as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Stockholder Representative for and on behalf of the Company Indemnifying Parties to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to Parent from the Escrow Account in satisfaction of claims by Parent, 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, 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; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Stockholder Representative shall have no power or authority to bind any Company Indemnifying Parties with respect to Losses that are not satisfied from the Escrow Account. The appointment, rights, powers and obligations of the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement are exclusive, and no Company Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assert any such right or power granted to the Stockholder Representative hereunder. Such agency may be changed by the Company Indemnifying Parties from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of not less than a two-thirds interest of the Escrow Account agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Account. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative, and the Stockholder Representative shall not receive any compensation for its

-81-


 

services. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Company Indemnifying Parties.
          (b) The duties and responsibilities of the Stockholder Representative shall be solely limited to those duties and responsibilities set forth in the Agreement, as well as those additional duties and responsibilities reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Stockholder Representative’s appointment hereunder. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative unless such act or omission is the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company Indemnifying Parties on whose behalf the Escrow Amount and the Stockholder Representative Fund was contributed to the Escrow Account shall indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against such Company Indemnifying Parties’ Pro Rata Amount of any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct 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. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to recover any such loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with the administration of his duties hereunder from the Stockholder Representative Fund and the Escrow Agent shall release the amount of such loss, liability or expense from the Stockholder Representative Fund promptly upon the written instruction of the Stockholder Representative. No Indemnified Party or any other party shall have any recourse whatsoever to the Stockholder Representative Fund. Upon termination of the Escrow Agreement the balance remaining in the Stockholder Representative Fund, if any, shall be distributed to the Company Indemnifying Parties by the Escrow Agent upon the written instruction of the Stockholder Representative.
          (c) The Stockholder Representative shall have reasonable access to information about the Surviving Corporation and Parent and the reasonable assistance of Surviving Corporation’s and Parent’s respective officers and employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights and responsibilities hereunder.
          (d) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative, including but not limited to an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.3 and 9.4, shall constitute a decision of the Company Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company 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 Company 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.

          (d) by Parent and Merger Sub if there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Merger by any Governmental Entity, which would: (i) prohibit Parent’s ownership or operation of any portion of the business of the Company or (ii) compel Parent or the Company to undertake an Action of Divestiture;
          (e) by Parent and Merger Sub if they are not in material breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within ten (10) calendar days after written notice thereof to the Company; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured;
          (f) by the Company if the Company is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within ten (10) calendar days after written notice thereof to Parent; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured; or

     9.3 Amendment. Subject to applicable law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent and the Company.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. 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. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right. For purposes of this Section 9.4, any extension or waiver signed by the Stockholder Representative shall be binding upon and effective against all Company Indemnifying Parties whether or not they have signed such extension or waiver.
