          1.4 Closing. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Covington & Burling, 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., at 10:00 a.m. local time on May 1, 2006, or such other time and place as Purchaser and Sellers may agree to in writing (such date of the Closing hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”) and shall be deemed to be effective as of 12:01 am on the Closing Date.
          1.5 Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale of the Purchased Assets and Sellers’ other covenants and obligations hereunder, Purchaser shall pay a purchase price in an aggregate amount of $9.4 million (the “Base Purchase Price”), as such amount is adjusted in accordance with Section 1.6, plus the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, plus the earn-out as specified in Section 1.7. At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay the Base Purchase Price as follows::
          (a) $3.4 million, adjusted by the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment, if any (as determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a)) (the “Cash Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of same day funds; and
          (b) an aggregate number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to $6.0 million divided by the Purchaser Share Price (the “Initial Purchaser Shares”).
          1.6 Post-Closing and Working Capital Adjustment.
          (a) In the event that that Final Working Capital (as defined below) is different than $0, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by the “Working Capital Adjustment.” “Working Capital” shall consist of (x) Sellers’ inventory, undelivered material on order pursuant to purchase orders issued by Sellers or issued by contract manufacturers as permitted by Sellers’ agreements with such contract manufacturers (“Undelivered Material”), offset by a reserve equal to the amount, if any, by which the cost of the Undelivered Material exceeds the fair market value thereof as agreed by Purchaser and Sellers, and prepaid expenses and deposits relating to the Business, minus (y) the purchase price payable with respect to the Undelivered Material and a $40,000 warranty reserve, each as of 12:01 am on the Closing Date and as determined in accordance with Canadian GAAP (except as otherwise agreed by the parties). Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date an estimate of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”), prepared by Sellers in good faith in accordance with Canadian GAAP (except as otherwise agreed by the

- 6 -


 

parties) and in consultation with Purchaser, in order to determine the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment (as defined below). The “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment” shall be the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital is different than $0. If the Estimated Working Capital is greater than $0, then the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment shall be a positive amount. If the Estimated Working Capital is less than $0, then the Estimated Working Capital will be a negative amount.
          (b) Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser within 30 days after the Closing Date a determination by Sellers of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Final Working Capital”).
          (c) Purchaser shall have 30 days after receipt of the Final Working Capital to review Sellers’ books and records with respect to Sellers’ determination of the Final Working Capital and Purchaser and Sellers shall in good faith seek to reach agreement with respect thereto. If Purchaser does not notify Sellers within such 30-day period that it disputes the determination of Final Working Capital, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with it. If Purchaser notify Sellers within such 30-day period that it disputes the determination of Final Working Capital, then Sellers and Purchaser shall work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. If an agreement is reached during the 90 days following the Closing Date, then within ten Business Days following such agreement, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser or Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, as the case may be, an amount equal to the difference between (x) the Estimated Working Capital and (y) the Final Working Capital (such amount being referred to herein as the “Adjustment Amount”); provided, however, that in no event shall any Adjustment Amount payable by Purchaser to Sellers exceed the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment.
          (d) If the parties do not reach an agreement on the Final Working Capital within the 90 days following the Closing Date, then Sellers and Purchaser shall select an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing in the United States (the “Arbitrating Firm”) to resolve the disputed items. If Sellers and Purchaser do not agree on the Arbitrating Firm within five calendar days after the end of such 90-day period, then the Arbitrating Firm shall be a nationally recognized independent accounting firm in the United States selected by lot (after excluding one firm designated by Sellers and one firm designated by Purchaser). Purchaser and Sellers shall each inform the Arbitrating Firm in writing as to their respective positions with respect to the Final Working Capital, and each shall make available to the Arbitrating Firm any books and records and work papers relevant to the preparation of the Arbitrating Firm’s computation of the Final Working Capital. The Arbitrating Firm shall be instructed to complete its analysis within 30 days from the date of its engagement and upon completion to inform the parties in writing of its own determination of the Final Working Capital and the basis for its determination, whether its determination is within the Mid-Range (as defined in paragraph (e) below) or if not, whether it is closer to Purchaser’s or Sellers’ written determination of the Final Working Capital. Any determination by the Arbitrating Firm in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) shall be final and binding on the parties. Within five days after the Arbitrating Firm delivers to the parties its written determination of the amount of the Final Working Capital, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser, or Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, as the case may be, the Adjustment Amount.

- 7 -


 

          (e) If the Arbitrating Firm’s determination of the Final Working Capital is within the Mid-Range, then Sellers and Purchaser shall each pay one-half of the fees and disbursements of the Arbitrating Firm in connection with its analysis. If not, then (i) if the Arbitrating Firm determines that the written position of Purchaser concerning the Final Working Capital is closer to its own determination, then Sellers shall pay the fees and disbursements of the Arbitrating Firm in connection with its analysis, or (ii) if the Arbitrating Firm determines that the written position of Sellers concerning the Final Working Capital is closer to its own determination, then Purchaser shall pay the fees and disbursements of the Arbitrating Firm in connection with its analysis. As used herein, the term “Mid-Range” means a range that (i) equals 20% of the absolute difference between the written positions of Purchaser and Sellers as to the Final Working Capital and (ii) has a midpoint equal to the average of such written positions of Purchaser and Sellers.
          (f) All payments to be made under this Section 1.6 shall be paid by wire transfer of same day funds to the account of the payee at a financial institution in the United States and shall for all purposes constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
          1.7 Earn Out.
          (a) Sellers shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Base Purchase Price, up to the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to $2.0 million divided by the Purchaser Share Price, depending on the India GSM Fixed Wireless Revenue (as defined below) earned by Purchaser after the Closing (the “India Additional Purchaser Shares”).
               (i) The number of India Additional Purchaser Shares to which Sellers are entitled shall be calculated and determined as follows:
(A) if the India GSM Fixed Wireless Revenue for the period from May 1, 2006 to the earlier of June 30, 2007 and 365 days following the national launch of GSM fixed wireless service (the “National Launch Date”) by Airtel (the “GSM Earnout Period”) is $0, then Sellers are not entitled to any India Additional Purchaser Shares;
(B) if the India GSM Fixed Wireless Revenue for the GSM Earnout Period meets or exceeds $40 million, then Sellers are entitled to all of the India Additional Purchaser Shares; or

          6.3 Defense of Claims.
          (a) If any legal proceeding shall be instituted, or any claim or demand made, against any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) in respect of which Sellers or Purchaser may be liable hereunder (such party or parties, in such circumstance, being referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof (the “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any delay in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend any litigation, action, suit, demand or claim for which indemnification is sought (a “Proceeding”) and, to the extent it elects to do so by written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume and pay the expenses of the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be permitted, at its sole expense, to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem reasonably necessary to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be required to make any expenditure or bring any cause of action to establish the Indemnifying Party’s obligations and liability under and pursuant to this Article VI. In addition, actual or threatened action by a Person shall not be a condition or prerequisite to the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Article VI. Except as specifically provided below, after notice by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article VI for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any of the foregoing Proceedings and to participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine, upon the written advice of counsel, that there exists actual or potential conflicts of interest which make representation by the same counsel inappropriate, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall bear such fees and expenses. Except to the extent specified in the immediately preceding sentence or with respect to the reasonable fees and expenses of appropriate local counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Parties. The Indemnified Party’s right to participate in the defense or response to any Proceeding shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify its obligations under this Article VI. In the event that, within 20 days after receiving a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party that it elects to assume the defense, compromise or settlement of the Proceeding described in such Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense of such Proceeding for the account of and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof upon written notice to the Indemnified Party and upon immediate payment of all reasonable expenses t heretofore incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any Proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Proceeding; provided, however, that the Indemnifying

- 32 -


 

Party may, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any such Proceeding or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Proceeding that requires solely the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and that includes as an unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Proceeding. If the Indemnified Party takes over and assumes control of any Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not, without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle such Proceeding, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief affecting the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its employees and the employees of any of its respective affiliates to cooperate, with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Proceeding assumed by the Indemnifying Party.
          (b) In the event any party should have a claim against any other party that does not involve a third party claim, the party making the claim shall transmit to such other party, before expiration of the applicable claims deadline specified in Section 6.1, a written notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of the damage claim, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to such claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the party’s claim for damages under this Article VI.
          6.4 Survival. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, all representations and warranties of Sellers and Purchaser contained herein shall each survive the Closing and terminate and expire on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date. The representations and warranties of Sellers in Section 2.1 shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The representations and warranties of Sellers in Section 2.6 and the covenants of Sellers in Section 4.6 shall survive the Closing and terminate and expire 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof). The representations and warranties of Purchaser in Section 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The indemnification obligations under Article VI shall survive the Closing and expire on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, except with respect to (A) indemnification claims relating to Sections 2.1, 3.1, and 3.2, which shall survive the Closing indefinitely, and Sections 2.6 and 4.6, which shall survive the Closing and terminate and expire 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof), and (B) any claims for, or any claims that may result in, any liability, judgment claim, settlement loss, damage, fee, lien, tax, penalty, obligation or expense for which indemnity may be sought hereunder of which the Indemnifying Party has received written notice from the Indemnified Party on or before such expiration date. All agreements and covenants of the parties in Sections 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, Article IV, Article VI and this Article VII shall survive the Closing until such agreements and covenants are performed or discharged in full.
          6.5 Limitation on Liability.
          (a) Sellers shall not be liable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of any indemnification obligations under clause (i) of Section 6.1 until the aggregate indemnification obligation thereunder exceeds $175,000, whereupon Sellers shall be liable in full for the full amount for which indemnification may be sought.

Purchaser Indemnified Parties) acknowledges and agrees that following the Closing: (A) the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages available to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement for breach of representations and warranties, and (B) the maximum aggregate liability of Sellers shall not exceed $3.4 million, regardless of whether the Purchaser Indemnified Parties seek indemnification or monetary damages pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or tort. Any indemnification claim made pursuant to this Section 6.5(a) shall first be set off against the proceeds of the Additional Purchaser Shares actually earned, if any, on the date such liability is determined, priced on the basis of the average closing price of shares of Purchaser Common Stock over the 20 trading days ending on the date that such liability is determined.
          (b) Purchaser shall not be liable to a Seller Indemnified Party in respect of any indemnification obligations under clause (i) of Section 6.2 until the aggregate indemnification obligation thereunder exceeds $175,000, whereupon Purchaser shall be liable in full for the full amount for which indemnification may be sought. Sellers (on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties) acknowledge and agree that following the Closing: (A) the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages available to the Seller Indemnified Parties under this Agreement for breach of representations and warranties, and (B) the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser shall not exceed $3.4 million, regardless of whether the Seller Indemnified Parties seek indemnification or monetary damages pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or tort.
          (c) The provisions of Sections 6.5(a) and 6.5(b) (other than clause (A) thereof relating to exclusive remedy) shall not apply to any indemnification obligation to the extent arising from a liability for Taxes.
          6.6 Waiver of Certain Damages. Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any obligation for damages or to indemnify any Indemnified Party for lost profits or for consequential, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages; provided, however, that there shall be such an indemnification obligation, subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in this Article VI, with respect to lost profits or for consequential, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages that are awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction in a Proceeding brought or asserted by a third party against an Indemnified Party.

In order to protect the value of the goodwill and other assets that Purchaser is acquiring pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Sellers agree that, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the CSI Contract and the CTS Contract (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement), Sellers shall not, directly, indirectly as a holder of at least a five percent (5%) or greater equity interest (calculated after giving effect to the exercise of any options or the conversion of any convertible securities issued or otherwise granted to Sellers directly or indirectly) of another person, firm, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association or other entity (governmental or private) (a “Person”), or as manager, agent, consultant, adviser, lender or guarantor to or for another Person:

B-1


 

     (a) engage in the Business in the United States of America or Canada, and in each of the states, provinces, and territories thereof;
     (b) call upon any customer or potential customer as of the Closing Date of the Business for the purpose of soliciting, diverting or enticing away any Business of such Person from Purchaser, or otherwise disrupting any previously established relationship existing between such Person and Purchaser in connection with the Business;
     (c) solicit, induce, influence or attempt to influence any supplier, lessor, licensor, or any other person who has a business relationship with Sellers on the Closing Date with respect to the Business, or who on the Closing Date is engaged in discussions or negotiations to enter into a business relationship with Sellers in connection with the Business, to refrain from entering into, discontinue or reduce the extent or scope of such relationship with Purchaser; or
     (d) solicit, except through general advertisements, for employment or offer employment to any person who is (i) an employee of or independent contractor to Sellers or Purchaser in connection with the Business prior to the Closing and (ii) at the time of such solicitation or offer, is or has been within 90 days prior to such solicitation or offer, an employee of or independent contractor to Purchaser.
     2. Adequate Consideration.

     3. Injunctive Relief. Sellers agree that a breach by such person of its obligations under this Agreement would result in harm and injury to Purchaser for which damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that Purchaser shall be entitled, as a matter of right, without limitation of any other remedy available to it for a breach or violation of the provisions of this Agreement, to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and remedies of Purchaser under this Agreement are cumulative and nonexclusive of such other right or remedy.

No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent to any departure herefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such modification, amendment or waiver is sought.

of the other parties hereto, provided, however, that Purchaser may assign all or part of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of Purchaser relating to the Business.
     7. Incorporated Provisions. The terms and provisions of Sections 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.9, 7.12, 7.13, 7.14 and 7.15 of the Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein and shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis, as if expressly set forth herein.

     THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of ___, 2006, by and among TELULAR CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), CSI WIRELESS INC., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta (“Canadian Seller”), and CSI WIRELESS LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“US Seller” and together with Canadian Parent, as appropriate, “Sellers”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
WITNESSETH:
     WHEREAS, the parties have entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 21, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which assets used and useful in connection with the operation of Sellers’ fixed wireless telephone division business except the Excluded Assets, defined in the Purchase Agreement, will be purchased by Purchaser (the “Acquisition”).
     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Acquisition, Purchaser will issues shares of Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
     WHEREAS, Sellers have agreed to enter into this Agreement in exchange for certain rights with respect to Purchaser’s board of directors (the “Board”).
     WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties is a condition precedent to complete the Acquisition under the Purchase Agreement and constitutes a material inducement for the parties therefor.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for good and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I Transfer Restrictions
     Section 1.1 Transfer Restrictions. In addition to and not in substitution of the transfer restrictions for the Purchaser Common Stock set forth in the Purchase Agreement and under applicable federal and state securities and “blue sky” Law, Sellers hereby covenant and agree not to, directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract to sell, pledge, transfer the economic risk of ownership, enter into any Contract for, or make any short sale, pledge, hypothecation or otherwise transfer, any shares of Purchaser Common Stock acquired under the Purchase Agreement or any Contracts or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any other rights to purchase or acquire

C-1


 

Purchaser Common Stock acquired under the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchaser Securities”), until 180 days after the Closing Date (the “Lock-up Period”), except (i) with Purchaser’s prior written consent, such consent to be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion or (ii) pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made to all of Purchaser’s stockholders that the Board has recommended its stockholders accept by any person or related group of persons which would result in the acquisition of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of Purchaser’s outstanding securities; provided, that if the shares so tendered by Sellers are not accepted pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, upon their return to Sellers they shall forthwith be held in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers shall not engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a transfer of Purchaser Securities, or the economic risk of ownership thereof, during the Lock-up Period, even if such Purchaser Securities would be disposed of by someone other than such holder or such beneficial owner, including (A) entering into any Contract with respect to any Purchaser Securities or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that included, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from shares of Purchaser Securities, and (B) any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right. Any attempted sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer not in compliance with this Section 1.1 shall be null and void and of no force or effect ab initio.
     Section 1.2 Legends.
          (a) Sellers acknowledge and agree that certificates evidencing the shares of Purchaser Common Stock which are issued or to be issued to Sellers prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period may contain an appropriate restricted legend setting forth these restrictions, including the following legend:
The shares evidenced by this Certificate may only be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in accordance with the terms of that certain Lock-up Agreement, by and among the Corporation and the record holder hereof (or its successors or permitted assigns). A copy of such agreement may be obtained by any registered holder hereof upon written request to the principal offices of the Corporation.
          (b) Sellers shall be entitled to have such restrictive legend removed from any certificates evidencing the shares of Purchaser Common Stock or other Purchaser Securities subject hereto upon expiration of the Lock-up Period.
     Section 1.3 No Registration of Transfers. Purchaser shall not register the transfer of any shares of Purchaser Securities, or any Contracts therefor, of any Seller on its stock record books, records or ledgers, at any time prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period. Purchaser may, in it sole discretion, issue stop-transfer instructions to each transfer agent for the Purchaser Securities, instructing each such transfer agent not to register any transfer of any such shares prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, except in strict compliance with the transfer restrictions hereof.

C-2


 

ARTICLE II Board Rights
     Section 2.1 Until the expiry of the Lock-Up Period, Sellers shall be entitled to notice of and to have one person attend all meetings of the Board and to have such person receive all written resolutions of the Board, provided that (i) Sellers’ designee must be reasonably acceptable to the Board, (ii) Sellers and Sellers’ designee shall be required to enter into an agreement with appropriate confidentiality and insider trading restrictions, and (iii) Sellers’ designee shall not be entitled to attend meetings or have access to information which is subject to attorney-client privilege or in which Sellers have a conflict of interest with Purchaser. The chairman of any meeting of the Board, in his sole discretion, may dismiss Sellers’ designee for portions of any meeting due to the confidential nature of the matters to be discussed thereat.
ARTICLE III Miscellaneous
     Section 3.1 Voluntary Execution of Agreement. This Agreement is executed voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence on the part or behalf of the parties hereto. Each of Purchaser and the Sellers hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants that (i) it has read and fully understood this Agreement and the implications and consequences thereof; (ii) it has been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of its own choice, or it has made a voluntary and informed decision to decline to seek such counsel; and (iii) it is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement.
     Section 3.2 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, instruction or instrument to be delivered hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective upon receipt at the address listed in the Purchase Agreement or at such other address specified in writing by the addressee.
     Section 3.3 Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
     Section 3.4 No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, or any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation or breach hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, and no such waiver shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
     Section 3.5 Assignment. Neither party may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any other Person without obtaining the prior written consent or approval of any other party hereto. Any purported assignment not in full compliance with this Section 3.5 shall be null and void and of no force or effect ab initio. Subject to foregoing, this

C-3


 

Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and express beneficiaries hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
     Section 3.6 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and no other Person shall have or acquire any right or remedy by virtue hereof except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
     Section 3.7 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided, that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a court, tribunal or other governmental body, arbitrator or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties agree that such governmental body, arbitrator or mediator making such determination shall have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.
     Section 3.8 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of:
  (a)   the expiration of the Lock-up Period;
 
  (b)   a material breach by Purchaser of the Purchase Agreement;
 
  (c)   Purchaser’s insolvency, bankruptcy or assignment for the benefit of its creditors or the appointment of a receiver over a material part of Purchaser’s assets; and
 
  (d)   the mutual agreement of the parties.
     Section 3.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and, to the extent of the definitions defined in the Purchase Agreement and used herein, the Purchase Agreement, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In case of any conflict between the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
     Section 3.10 Incorporated Provisions. The terms and provisions of Sections 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.9, 7.12, 7.13, 7.14 and 7.15 of the Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein and shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis, as if expressly set forth herein.

               (ii) cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the preparation and filing of any Shelf Registration Statement and, upon written request from Purchaser, each Participating Seller shall promptly furnish in writing to Purchaser such information regarding such Participating Seller, the distribution of the Registrable Securities and other matters as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being agreed that the provision of such information by such Participating Seller to Purchaser shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 2.1 and 3.1 hereof with respect to the Registrable Securities held by such Participating Seller.
               (iii) during the Shelf Registration Period, not (A) effect any stabilization transactions or engage in any stabilization activity in connection with Purchaser Common Stock or other equity securities of Purchaser in contravention of Regulation M under the 1934 Act, or (B) permit any “Affiliated Purchaser” (as that term is defined in Regulation M under the 1934 Act) to bid for or purchase for any account in which such Participating Seller has a beneficial interest, or attempt to induce any other Person to purchase, any shares of Purchaser Common Stock or other equity securities of Purchaser in contravention of Regulation M under the 1934 Act; and

D-5

     Section 3.3 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the expiration of the Shelf Registration Period; provided, however, that the provisions of Article IV hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement for one year, after which such provisions shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.
     Section 3.4 Information Blackout.
          (a) In the event that, prior to the filing or effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, (i) Purchaser, after consultation with counsel, determines reasonably and in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material information that Purchaser is not prepared to disclose and (ii) Purchaser gives the Sellers written notice of such determination, Purchaser shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof, be entitled to postpone the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof or delay its efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission (the number of days of any such postponement is hereinafter called a “Registration Postponement Period”). No individual Registration Postponement Period shall last more than ninety (90) days and all Registration Postponement Periods shall, in the aggregate, constitute less than one hundred eighty (180) days.
          (b) At any time when the Shelf Registration Statement is effective, upon written notice from Purchaser to the Sellers that Purchaser, after consultation with counsel, has determined reasonably and in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement would require disclosure of non-public material information that Purchaser is not prepared to disclose, Sellers shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after Purchaser notifies Sellers of such good faith determination, or (ii) such time as Purchaser notifies Sellers that such material information has been disclosed to the public or has ceased to be material or that sales pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement may otherwise be resumed (the number of days from such suspension of sales by Sellers until the day when such sales may be resumed hereunder is hereinafter called a “Sales Blackout Period”).
          (c) No Registration Postponement Period or Sales Blackout Period shall preclude any sales of Registrable Securities that Sellers may effect in compliance with Rule 144; provided, that Sellers otherwise conform with the requirements under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act.
          (d) Sellers agree that, upon receipt of any notice from Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.4, Sellers will (i) keep confidential such notice, its content and any information provided by Purchaser in connection therewith, and (ii) if so directed by Purchaser, deliver to Purchaser all copies then in Sellers’ possession, other than permanent file copies, of the Prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
     Section 4.1 Indemnification By Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and each Person, if any, who controls such Seller within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3 hereof), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) any violation by Purchaser of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be liable insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission (a) made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Purchaser by any Seller Indemnified Party for use in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the plan of distribution furnished in writing to Purchaser by or on behalf of such Seller Indemnified Party expressly for use therein, or (b) that was corrected in an amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus and Purchaser had furnished copies thereof to the Sellers prior to the relevant date of sale by the Seller to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability.
     Section 4.2 Indemnification By Sellers. Each Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and each Person, if any, who controls Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and any other holder of Registrable Securities selling securities under such Shelf Registration Statement from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3 hereof), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only with reference to information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Seller expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or (ii) any violation by such Seller of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by the Shelf Registration Statement.

     Section 4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Each party indemnified under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 above shall, promptly after receipt of notice of a claim or action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or action; provided, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party on account of the indemnity agreement contained in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 above except to the extent that the indemnifying party was actually prejudiced by such failure. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall have notified the indemnifying party thereof, unless in the indemnifying party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and indemnifying party may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes to assume the defense thereof. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall pay such expense, to the extent reasonable, if representation of such indemnified party by counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be reasonably likely to result in a conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party. Any indemnifying party against whom indemnity may be sought under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 shall not be liable to indemnify an indemnified party if such indemnified party settles such claim or action without the written consent of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party a release from all liabilities in respect of such claim or litigation and no indemnifying party may agree to any settlement of any such claim or action, other than solely for monetary damages for which the indemnifying party shall be responsible hereunder, the result of which shall be applied to or against the indemnified party, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In any action hereunder as to which the indemnifying party has assumed the defense thereof, the indemnified party shall continue to be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice, but, except as otherwise provided in the third sentence of this Section 4.3, the indemnifying party shall not be obligated hereunder to reimburse the indemnified party for the costs thereof.
     Section 4.4 Limitation on Indemnity. The indemnity provided for hereunder shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party to the extent that the claim is based on such indemnified party’s failure to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as then applicable to the Person asserting the loss, claim, damage or liability for which indemnity is sought.
     Section 4.5 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article IV is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then in lieu of such indemnification the indemnifying party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying

D-8


 

party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on one hand or by or on behalf of the indemnified party on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     Purchaser and Sellers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
     Section 5.1 Rule 144. Purchaser covenants that it will timely file any reports required to be filed by it under the 1934 Act and that it will take such further action as Sellers may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable Sellers to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitations of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Except as set forth in Section 2.2, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any sales of Registrable Securities that Sellers may effect in compliance with Rule 144.
     Section 5.2 Expenses. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.2 hereof, each party shall pay its own expenses incident to the transactions contemplated hereby.
     Section 5.3 GOVERNING LAW.

EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN SUCH COURT (AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR ANY OTHER OBJECTION TO VENUE THEREIN); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH CONSENT TO JURISDICTION IS SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 5.5 AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A GENERAL SUBMISSION TO THE JURISDICTION OF SAID COURTS OR IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OTHER THAN FOR SUCH PURPOSE. Any and all process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement by complying with the provisions of Section 5.6. Such service of process shall have the same effect as if the party being served were a resident in the State of New York and had been lawfully served with such process in such jurisdiction. The parties hereby waive all claims of error by reason of such service. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to service process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the other in any other jurisdiction to enforce judgments or rulings of the aforementioned courts.
     Section 5.6 Notices.

     Section 5.7 Cumulative Remedies; Failure to Pursue Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, the rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise. Except where a time period is specified, no delay on the part of any party in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any exercise or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.
     Section 5.8 Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except upon the written consent of Purchaser and Sellers. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived by Purchaser and any Seller to be bound by such waiver. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and

D-10


 

shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
     Section 5.9 Assignment; Binding Effect. This Agreement may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Sellers, and any attempt to do so will be void, except that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate provided that any Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained in this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

     Section 5.10 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or application to other Persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement is hereby declared to be separate and distinct and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable for any reason other than overbreadth, the offending provision will be modified so as to maintain the essential benefits of the bargain among the parties to the maximum extent possible, consistent with applicable law and public policy.
     Section 5.11 Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document, and all counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument. A facsimile or photocopied signature shall be deemed to be the functional equivalent of an original for all purposes.
     Section 5.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Purchase Agreement constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto, whether oral or written.
