Buyer.

No person other than Seller has ownership rights or license rights granted by Seller to an improvement made by or for Seller in any Transferred IP or Transferred Technology. Seller owns exclusively all trade names, trademarks and service marks, and logos used in connection with the operation or conduct of the Business, including the sale of any Products or the provision of any services. All Purchased Assets will be fully transferable, alienable or licensable by Buyer without restriction and without payment of any kind to any third party.

The party required by law to pay any such Straddle Period Tax (the “Paying Party”) shall file the Return related to such Straddle Period Tax within the time period prescribed by law and shall timely pay such Straddle Period Tax. To the extent any such payment exceeds the obligation of the Paying Party hereunder, the Paying Party shall provide the other party (the “Non-Paying Party”) with notice of payment, and within 10 days of receipt of such notice of payment, the Non-Paying Party shall reimburse the Paying Party for the Non-Paying Party’s share of such Straddle Period Taxes.
          (d) To the extent relevant to the Business or the Purchased Assets, each party shall (i) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with the preparation of any Return and the conduct of any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings relating to any liability for Taxes and (ii) retain and provide the other with all records or other information that may be relevant to the preparation of any Returns, or the conduct of any audit or examination, or other proceeding relating to Taxes. Seller shall retain all documents, including prior years’ Returns, supporting work schedules and other records or information with respect to all sales, use and employment tax returns and, absent the receipt by Seller of the relevant tax clearance certificates, shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records for six (6) years after Closing without the prior written consent of Buyer.

     7.13 Non-Competition Obligation.
          (a) Beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), Seller shall not directly or indirectly (other than on behalf of Buyer), without the prior written consent of Buyer, engage in a Competitive Business Activity (as defined below) anywhere in the Restricted Territory (as defined below), whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, proprietor, principal, partner, stockholder, officer, director or otherwise. For all purposes hereof, the term “Competitive Business Activity” shall mean: (i) engaging in, managing or directing persons engaged in any business related to the Business or any Product; (ii) acquiring or having an ownership interest in any entity which derives revenues from any business related to the Business (except for ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any entity whose securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); or (iii) participating in the financing, operation, management or control of any firm, partnership, corporation, entity or business described in clause (ii) of this sentence. For all purposes hereof, the term “Restricted Territory” shall mean worldwide.
          (b) During the Non-Competition Period, Seller shall not directly or indirectly solicit, encourage or take any other action which is intended to induce or encourage, or has the effect of inducing of encouraging, any employee of Buyer to terminate his or her employment with Buyer.
          (c) The covenants contained in Section 7.13(a) shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each country, province, state, city or other political subdivision of the Restricted Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 7.13(a). If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of Section 7.13(a) are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.
          (d) Seller acknowledges that (i) the goodwill associated with the existing business, customers and assets of the Business prior to the Closing are an integral component of the value of the Business to Buyer and is reflected in the value of the Purchase Price to be received by Seller, and (ii) Seller’s agreement as set forth in Sections 7.13(a) and 7.13(b) is necessary to preserve the value of the Business for Buyer following the Closing. Seller also acknowledges that the limitations of time, geography and scope of activity agreed to in Section 7.13(a) are reasonable because, among other things, (i) Buyer and Seller are engaged in a highly competitive industry, (ii) Seller has had unique access to the trade secrets and know-how of the Business including, without limitation, the plans and strategy (and, in particular, the competitive strategy) of the Business, and (iii) Seller is receiving significant consideration in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (e) The parties agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Seller of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 7.13(a) or 7.13(b), monetary damages alone would be inadequate to fully protect Buyer from, and compensate Buyer for, the harm caused by such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, Seller agrees that if it breaches or threatens breach of any provision of Sections 7.13(a) or 7.13(b), Buyer shall be entitled to, in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise available, the right to injunctive relief restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of Sections 7.13(a) or 7.13(b), and Buyer shall not be required to post

a bond in connection with, or as a condition to, obtaining such relief before a court of competent jurisdiction.
     7.14 Employee Matters. As of the date hereof, each of the Key Employees shall have accepted Buyer’s offer of employment and shall have executed an Offer Letter, which shall be in effect as of the Closing Date, and at least seventy percent (70%) of the Identified Employees shall have accepted Buyer’s offer of employment and shall have executed an Offer Letter, which shall be in effect as of the Closing Date.
     7.15 Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Assets to Buyer (other than any obligations with respect to the application of the proceeds herefrom); provided, however, that Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer against any and all liabilities which may be asserted by third parties against Buyer as a result of Seller’s noncompliance with any such law.
     7.16 Dissolution of Seller. For a period of not less than six (6) months following the Closing Date, Seller shall not liquidate, dissolve or wind up (each, a “Dissolution”), nor shall Seller commence any actions that might reasonably be expected to result in a Dissolution; provided however, that during such period Seller shall not be restricted from distributing the amount received by Seller pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) of this Agreement.

ARTICLE X
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES;
INDEMNIFICATION AND ESCROW
     10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and will continue (regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the parties to this Agreement) until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the first anniversary of the Closing (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, in the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of a representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall survive indefinitely with respect to the Person committing such fraud or intentional misrepresentation. The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall terminate at the Closing. The covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall not expire and shall survive indefinitely.
     10.2 Indemnification.
          (a) Seller (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold Buyer and its employees, officers, directors and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation and defense (hereinafter

-32-


 

individually, a “Loss” and collectively, “Losses”) paid, sustained, incurred or accrued by any Indemnified Party, or any of them, directly or indirectly, as a result of or in connection with, (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of an Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement or any document, certificate, or agreement delivered in connection hereto; (ii) any failure by an Indemnifying Party to perform or comply with any covenant contained in this Agreement or any document, certificate, or agreement delivered in connection hereto; (iii) Liabilities of Seller, whether arising before or after the Closing Date, that are not expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement including, without limitations, the Excluded Liabilities; (iv) any claim or cause of action of any third party to the extent arising out of any action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation of Seller occurring or existing prior to the Closing; (v) Liabilities arising from or related to any failure to comply with laws relating to bulk transfers or bulk sales with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (vi) Transfer Taxes. Each of the parties to this Agreement 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 Purchase Price. To the extent that an Indemnifying Party’s undertakings set forth in this Section 10.2 may be unenforceable, such Indemnifying Party shall contribute the maximum amount that it is permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Losses incurred by Buyer.
          (b) For the purpose of this ARTICLE X only, in the event of any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of an Indemnifying Party contained in ARTICLE V herein, the amount of any Loss resulting from such inaccuracy or breach of such representation or warranty shall be determined without giving effect to any requirement in any representation or warranty that an event or fact be material or have a material adverse effect, and any such requirement shall be disregarded for such purpose. There shall be no right of contribution from any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss.
          (c) Any Person committing fraud shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless for, any Losses incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, directly or indirectly, as a result of such fraud committed by such Person, regardless of when such fraud was discovered.
          (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under any Ancillary Agreement against the parties thereto.
     10.3 Limitations.
          (a) Except as set forth in Section 10.3(b), the maximum amount an Indemnified Party may recover from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to the indemnity provided for in Section 10.2 hereof shall be limited to the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that except as set forth in Section 10.3(b), prior to any Dissolution, the liability of an Indemnifying Party for breaches of representations and warranties contained in Section 5.12 (Intellectual Property) shall be limited to a dollar amount equal to the Purchase Price. No Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder until such time as the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Indemnified Party are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement exceeds $20,000, at which time the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for the full amount of all such Losses, subject to the limitations set forth herein.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any Indemnified Party to pursue any available remedies for Losses exceeding the amount of the Escrow Fund to the extent that any such Losses are paid, sustained, incurred or accrued by any Indemnified Party, or any of them, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or in connection

-33-


 

with, Losses resulting from (i) fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, (ii) Liabilities, whether arising before or after the Closing Date, that are not expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, the Excluded Liabilities, or (iii) any Transfer Taxes.
          (c) Nothing herein shall limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant if the Closing does not occur.
     10.4 Escrow Arrangements.
          (a) Escrow Fund. By virtue of this Agreement and as sole security for the indemnity provided for in Section 10.2 hereof (except as set forth in Section 10.3 above), an amount of the Purchase Price, the Escrow Amount, shall be deposited by Buyer as soon as practicable after the Closing with the Escrow Agent, such deposit to constitute the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this ARTICLE X.
          (b) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Periods. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Closing and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the Expiration Date (the “Escrow Period”). Promptly following the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall transfer to Seller, pursuant to written instructions by Buyer, the remaining Escrow Fund, if any; provided, however, that the Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to such amount (or some portion thereof), that is the subject of any unresolved claims set forth in an Officer’s Certificate received by the Escrow Agent prior to the termination of such Escrow Period. As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall transfer to Seller, pursuant to written instructions by Buyer, the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy such claims.
          (c) Protection of Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms hereof. All income earned on the cash in the Escrow Fund, if any, shall become part of, and be held as an additional portion of, the Escrow Fund.
          (d) Ownership of Cash Held in Escrow Fund. The parties hereto agree that, for tax reporting purposes, Seller is the owner of any cash in the Escrow Fund until such cash is distributed in accordance with this Agreement, and that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned from the investment of such cash shall be treated for tax purposes as earned by Seller.
          (e) Claims Upon Escrow Fund. Subject to Section 10.4(f) hereof, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by any officer of Buyer (an “Officer’s Certificate”): (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Losses, and (ii) 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 reasonably anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant or otherwise to which such item is related, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(f) hereof, transfer to Buyer out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, funds held in the Escrow Fund in an amount equal to such Losses.
          (f) 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 Seller and for a period of thirty

-34-


 

(30) days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no transfer to Buyer of any Escrow Amounts pursuant to Section 10.4(e) hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from Seller to make such transfer. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall transfer the funds from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 10.4(e) hereof; provided, however, that no such transfer may be made if Seller 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.
          (g) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
               (i) In case Seller shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer’s Certificate as provided in Section 10.4(f) hereof, Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If Seller and Buyer 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 funds from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
               (ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Buyer or Seller may demand arbitration of the matter 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; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators. Buyer and Seller shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The arbitrators 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 arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the three 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 10.4(f) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the 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.
               (iii) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Alameda County, California under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. For purposes of this Section 10.4(g), in any arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Officer’s Certificate is at issue, Buyer shall be deemed to be the prevailing party in the event that the arbitrators award Buyer an amount equal to at least the sum of one-half (1/2) of the disputed amount plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, Seller shall be deemed to be the prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative costs of the arbitration, and the expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs, incurred by the other party to the arbitration.
          (h) Third-Party Claims. In the event Buyer becomes aware of a third-party claim that Buyer reasonably believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund or otherwise, Buyer shall notify Seller of such claim, and Seller shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any defense of such

-35-


 

claim. Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to control the defense of all such claims and to settle any such claim; provided, however, that no settlement of any such claim with third-party claimants shall determine the amount of any claim against the Escrow Fund or otherwise, except with the consent of Seller. In the event that Seller has consented to any such settlement, Seller shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this ARTICLE X to the amount of any claim by Buyer against the Escrow Amount or otherwise with respect to such settlement.
          (i) Escrow Agent’s Duties.
               (i) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and as set forth in any additional written escrow instructions that the Escrow Agent may receive after the date of this Agreement that are signed by an officer of Buyer and Seller, and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent has exercised reasonable care in the selection of such counsel.
               (ii) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person, excepting only orders or process of courts of law or the arbitrators, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court or the arbitrators. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.
               (iii) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.
               (iv) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.
               (v) In performing any duties under the Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for damages, losses, or expenses, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability for (A) any act or failure to act made or omitted in good faith or (B) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement of affidavit provided for in this Agreement that the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, nor will the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible for forgeries, fraud, impersonations, or determining the scope of any representative authority. In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with the legal counsel in connection with Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by him/her in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel provided that the Escrow Agent has exercised reasonable care in the selection of such counsel. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining and verifying the authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement.

-36-


 

               (vi) If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and funds held in escrow and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and funds held in escrow, except all cost, expenses, charges and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action and which the parties jointly and severally agree to pay. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all obligations and liabilities imposed by the terms of this Agreement.
               (vii) The parties and their respective successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, attorneys fees, and disbursements that may be imposed on Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including but not limited to any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter.
               (viii) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least thirty (30) days written notice to the parties; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent, which shall be accomplished as follows: The parties shall use their best efforts to mutually agree on a successor escrow agent within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice. If the parties fail to agree upon a successor escrow agent within such time, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor escrow agent authorized to do business in the State of California. The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent. The Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.
               (ix) The Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest moneys on deposit in the Escrow Fund upon written direction from an authorized signatory for both Buyer and Seller. In the absence of such joint written instructions, funds shall be invested in a U.S. Bank Money Market Account, which is FDIC-insured, until such joint written instructions are received. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for any investment losses resulting from the investment, reinvestment or liquidation of the escrowed property, as applicable, provided that the Escrow Agent has made such investment, reinvestment or liquidation of the escrowed property in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.
          (j) Fees. All fees of the Escrow Agent for performance of its duties hereunder shall be paid by Buyer. It is understood that the fees and usual charges agreed upon for services of the Escrow Agent shall be considered compensation for ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the conditions of this Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, or if the Escrow Agent renders any service not provided for in this Agreement, or if the parties request a substantial modification of its terms, or if any controversy arises, or if the Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to this escrow or its subject matter, the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated by Buyer for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs, attorneys fees, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation.

          (a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;
          (b) by Buyer or Seller, if (i) the Closing has not occurred by March 31, 2007; (ii) there shall be a final nonappealable order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (iii) there shall be any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Entity that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal;

     12.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and personal representatives.
     12.4 Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver. This Agreement (including the documents referred to herein) and the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement set forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters contained herein and no prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective for any purpose. No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by all of the parties. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, any waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.
     12.5 Dispute Resolution. Except as provided in Section 10.4(g) hereof, in the case of any disputes under this Agreement, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute informally, or by means of mediation as follows: either party may, upon written notice to the other, submit such dispute to the parties’ executives who have the authority to settle the controversy, who shall meet to attempt to resolve the dispute by good faith negotiations. In the event the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after such notice is received, either party may elect to submit the dispute to mediation in Alameda County, California. If such mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the dispute, either party may avail itself of any remedies available to it, whether at law or in equity, in accordance with Section 12.8 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each party shall have the right to apply to the San Francisco Federal District Court in the State of California at any time for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary, notwithstanding any informal dispute resolution procedures herein.
     12.6 Attorneys’ Fees. In any action between the parties hereto seeking enforcement of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled, in addition to damages, injunctive or other relief, to its reasonable costs and expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
     12.7 Expenses. Whether or not the Asset Acquisition is consummated, each of the parties shall pay all costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by it in negotiating and preparing this Agreement and in closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the exhibits hereto.
     12.8 Construction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SAN FRANCISCO FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, AGREES THAT PROCESS MAY BE SERVED UPON THEM IN ANY MANNER AUTHORIZED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR SUCH PERSONS, AND WAIVES AND COVENANTS NOT TO ASSERT OR PLEAD ANY OBJECTION THAT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO SUCH JURISDICTION AND SUCH PROCESS.

     12.9 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties named herein and their respective successors and assigns. No party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Buyer may (a) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates, and (b) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in any or all of which cases Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder).
     12.10 Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture or trust.
     12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by the parties in counterparts and the signature pages combined shall create a document binding on all parties.
     12.12 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable at law, that provision will be reformed as a valid provision to reflect as closely as possible the original provision giving maximum effect to the intent of the parties, or if that cannot be done, will be severed from the Agreement without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
     12.13 Interpretation. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
     12.14 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer or Seller may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit thereof 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 all of the parties hereto.
     12.15 U.S. Patriot Act Compliance. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. The parties hereto each agree to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance with federal law.
