Parent shall further deposit with the Paying Agent any amount which is due and payable in accordance with Section 2.9(f). Parent shall deposit the Contingent Consideration when such payment is due and payable, less any deposits required to be made into the Escrow Fund under Section 2.6(b), which deposit shall, subject to Section 2.6(f), be remitted to the Paying Agent upon and to the extent of a release thereof. The cash so deposited with the Paying Agent is referred to as the “Payment Fund.
(b) Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to pay at Closing (i) the Company Merger Costs and Change of Control Expenses payable at Closing and (ii) the Company Indebtedness, in each case to the Persons to whom such amounts are owed in accordance with the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet to be provided under Section 2.8.
(c) Promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event within two (2) business days thereafter, Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to mail a letter of transmittal in customary form, as reasonably approved by the Company (a “Letter of Transmittal”) to each Company Stockholder, together with instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates for the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2. Upon the Company Stockholder’s delivery to the Paying Agent, of a Company Stock Certificate (or an affidavit of loss as described below), together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as the Parent and the Paying Agent may reasonably request, the Paying Agent shall (i) promptly pay to such Company Stockholder the amount such Company Stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.2, (ii) upon receipt of any payment of Contingent Consideration from the Company, promptly pay to such Company Stockholder the amount such Company Stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.2, and (iii) upon receipt of any Escrow Fund or Representative Reimbursement Fund from the Escrow Agent, promptly pay to such Company Stockholder the amount of Escrow Fund or Representative Reimbursement Fund, as applicable, such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.2. The Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith

6






be canceled. From and after the Effective Time, each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2, and the holder of each such Company Stock Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby.
(d) The Paying Agent shall also mail a Letter of Transmittal to each holder of Existing Cash-Out Stock Options and Existing Cash-Out Warrants, and upon delivery of a duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the Paying Agent shall (i) promptly pay to each holder of Existing Cash-Out Stock Options and Existing Cash-Out Warrants the Option Cash-Out Amount and the Warrant Cash-Out Amount, as applicable, payable under Section 2.3, (ii) upon receipt of any payment of Contingent Consideration from the Company, promptly pay to such holders of Existing Cash-Out Stock Options and Existing Cash-Out Warrants the amount such holders are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.3, and (iii) upon receipt of any Escrow Fund or Representative Reimbursement Fund, as applicable, from the Escrow Agent, promptly pay to such holders the balance of the Option Cash-Out Amount and the Warrant Cash-Out Amount, as applicable, payable under Section 2.3.
(e) Parent, the Surviving Corporation and, if applicable, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2 and 2.3 with respect to Company Capital Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants, as applicable, such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation are required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or under any state local or foreign Tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
(f) If applicable, any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed by the Paying Agent to Company Stockholders, Company Option Holders or Company Warrant Holders as of the date that is 180 days after (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the payment of Contingent Consideration, or (iii) the release of any portion of the Escrow Funds or Representative Reimbursement Fund by the Escrow Agent to the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any Company Stockholders, Company Option Holders or Company Warrant Holders who have not received their payments, shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3, as applicable.
(g) As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall not be any further registration of transfers of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or, if applicable, the Paying Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.5. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of a Company Stock Certificate.
(h) In the event any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of

7






any consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2, with respect to the Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed to provide an appropriate affidavit as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.
(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a Company Stock Certificate or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property laws, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement. Any portion of the Payment Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Stock Certificates three (3) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body and any portion of the Escrow Fund that remains undistributed three (3) years after the deposit by the Escrow Agent of such amount with the Paying Agent (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Parent.
2.6 Escrow and Release from Escrow of Merger Consideration
(a) At the Closing Parent shall:
(i) out of the proceeds otherwise payable at the Effective Time to each Company Securityholder pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 deposit, on behalf of such Company Securityholder, such Company Securityholder’s Initial Pro Rata Portion of Five Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,400,000) of the Initial Consideration in an escrow account (the “General Escrow Fund”) to be administered and held exclusively by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) for 18 months following the Closing (the “General Escrow Period”) pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”);

The estimate shall be prepared in good faith by the Company and in accordance with this Section 2.9 and GAAP and based on the same accounting principles, policies, practices, procedures, classifications, judgments and estimation methodologies consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements (the “Company Accounting Policies”), but only to the extent such Company Accounting Policies are in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of illustration, a calculation of Working Capital as of the date of the Company Financial Statements using the Company Accounting Policies is set forth in Section 2.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. If Parent objects to the Estimated Working Capital Amount as calculated by the Company, and provides its own calculations in reasonable detail supporting that the Estimated Working Capital Amount should be at least [**] Dollars ($[**]) less than estimated by the Company, the Company and Parent will work together in good faith to resolve the issues in dispute.
(b) As soon as practicable (and in any event within ninety (90) days) after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative a schedule (the “Parent Working Capital Schedule”) which shall set forth in reasonable detail Parent’s calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Parent Proposed Working Capital Amount”). The Parent Working Capital Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the Company Accounting Policies (to the extent such Company Accounting Policies are in accordance with GAAP).
(c) Following the delivery of the Parent Working Capital Schedule to the Securityholders’ Representative, Parent shall provide the Securityholders’ Representative and its accountants, at the request of the Securityholders’ Representative, with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation as well as any relevant work papers of Parent, the Company and their accountants generated in preparing the Parent Working Capital Schedule as may reasonably be required for the review of the calculation of the Parent Proposed Working Capital. All fees, costs and expenses of the Securityholders’ Representative relating to the review of the Parent Working Capital Schedule shall be borne by the Company

12






Securityholders and taken out of the Company Merger Costs and Change of Control Expenses Fund, and all fees, costs and expenses of Parent and the Surviving Corporation relating thereto shall be borne by Parent.
(d) If the Securityholders’ Representative has any objections to the Parent Working Capital Schedule or the Parent Proposed Working Capital set forth therein, it shall deliver to Parent a statement describing its objections with respect thereto (the “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the Securityholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Parent Working Capital Schedule. The Securityholders’ Representative shall include in the Objection Notice a reasonably detailed calculation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date as (the “Securityholders’ Representative Proposed Working Capital”), accompanied by a reasonably detailed description of the bases for any variances between the Parent Proposed Working Capital and the Securityholders’ Representative Proposed Working Capital. If the Securityholders’ Representative fails to deliver an Objection Notice, the Parent Proposed Working Capital shall be deemed the Final Working Capital Amount (as defined below). If the Securityholders’ Representative delivers the Objection Notice to Parent, and Parent disagrees with the Securityholders’ Representative’s objection, then Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative will, during the thirty (30) day period following the date of the Objection Notice (the “Resolution Period”), use reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objection themselves, it being understood that the Company Accounting Policies (to the extent such Company Accounting Policies are in accordance with GAAP) to be applied to the resolution of any such objection.

The fees and disbursements of the Neutral Auditor shall be borne by Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Securityholders in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Neutral Auditor (and, with respect to the Company Stockholders’ portion, be taken out of the Company Merger Costs and Change of Control Expenses Escrow Fund), which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Neutral Auditor at the time the determination of the Neutral Auditor is rendered pursuant to this Section 2.9(e). The Neutral Auditor shall act as an arbitrator to determine only the issues still in dispute. The Neutral Auditor’s determination shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative and shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable for all purposes under this Agreement. The term “Final Working Capital Amount” shall mean (A) if the Securityholders’ Representative fails to deliver an Objection Notice and within the thirty(30) day period set forth in Section 2.9(d), the Parent Proposed Working Capital Amount, and (B) if the Securityholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 2.9(d), (X) the definitive Working Capital agreed to by the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent in accordance with Section 2.9(d), or (Y) in the event Parent and Securityholders’ Representative did not agree to a definitive

13





Working Capital in accordance with Section 2.9(d), the Working Capital resulting from the determination made by the Neutral Auditor in accordance with this Section 2.9(e).

(f) If the Final Working Capital Amount is greater than the Estimated Working Capital Amount, then the amount by which the Final Working Capital Amount exceeds the Estimated Working Capital Amount shall promptly be paid by Parent to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Stockholders, Company Option Holders and Company Warrant Holders entitled to receive payments pursuant to Sections 2.2 and
2.3 of this Agreement in proportion to the Contingent Pro Rata Portion for such Company Stockholders, Company Option Holders and Company Warrant Holders under this Agreement.
(g) If the Final Working Capital Amount is less than the Estimated Working Capital Amount, then the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital Amount exceeds the Final Working Capital Amount shall promptly be paid to Parent out of the General Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
2.10 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and any Related Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

TERMINATION
9.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

60






(b) by either Parent or the Company, if any Order by any Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Merger shall have become final and nonappealable;
(c) by Parent if, if the Required Company Stockholder Approval was not obtained within three calendar days of execution of this Agreement;
(d) by Parent if any of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not have been true in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement (without giving effect to any “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualifications contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representations and warranties) or shall have become inaccurate as of any subsequent date in all material respects as if made on such subsequent date (without giving effect to any “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualifications contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representations and warranties), or if any of the Company’s covenants contained in this Agreement shall have been breached; provided, however, that Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) on account of an inaccuracy in the Company’s representations and warranties or on account of a breach of a covenant by the Company if such inaccuracy or breach is curable by the Company unless the Company fails to cure such inaccuracy or breach within five (5) days after receiving written notice from Parent of such inaccuracy or breach;
(e) by Company if any of the Parent’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not have been true in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement (without giving effect to any materiality qualifications contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representations and warranties) or shall have become inaccurate as of any subsequent date in all material respects as if made on such subsequent date (without giving effect to any materiality qualifications contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representations and warranties), or if any of the Parent’s covenants contained in this Agreement shall have been breached; provided, however, that Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(e) on account of an inaccuracy in the Parent’s representations and warranties or on account of a breach of a covenant by the Parent if such inaccuracy or breach is curable by the Parent unless the Parent fails to cure such inaccuracy or breach within five (5) days after receiving written notice from the Company of such inaccuracy or breach; and
(f) by Parent or the Company if the Closing has not taken place on or before the date which is sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”) (other than as a result of any failure on the part of the party attempting to terminate this Agreement to comply with or perform any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement).

9.2 Termination Procedures. If either party wishes to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, it shall deliver to the other party a written notice stating that it is terminating this Agreement and setting forth a brief description of the basis on which it is terminating this Agreement.
61





9.3 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that: (a) neither the Company nor Parent shall be relieved of any obligation or liability arising from any breach by such party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement; and (b) the parties shall, in all events, remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 9.3 and Section 11.

SECTION 10.
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Survival of Representations.
(a) Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Section 10, the representations and warranties and certifications contained in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Compliance Certificate shall survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months, except that the representations and warranties contained in (i) Sections 3.1 (Due Organization), 3.3. (Capitalization), 3.4 (Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement) and 3.9 (Title to Assets) shall survive indefinitely and (ii) Sections 3.19 (Tax Matters), 3.20 (Employee and Labor Matters; Benefit Company Plans), and 3.28 (Finder’s Fees) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the matters covered thereby plus an additional sixty (60) calendar days (the representations and warranties referenced in (i) and (ii) collectively, Fundamental Representations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the end of the applicable survival period, any Parent Indemnitee delivers to the Securityholders’ Representative a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company, then the representation or warranty underlying the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the end of the applicable survival period until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. All of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the parties contained in this Agreement or any other document, certificate, schedule or instrument delivered or executed in connection herewith shall survive the Closing.
(b) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Company, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Parent Indemnitees, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or Knowledge of, any of the Parent Indemnitees or any of their Representatives. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification or payment of Damages pursuant to this Section 10, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

62





10.2 Indemnification by Company Securityholders.
(a) From and after the Closing Date (but subject to Section 10.1(a)), the Company Securityholders (individually, an “Indemnitor”, and collectively, the “Indemnitors”), shall severally, but not jointly, hold harmless and indemnify each Parent Indemnitee from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each Parent Indemnitee for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Parent Indemnitees or to which any Parent Indemnitee may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise from or as a result of:
        
(i) any inaccuracy in or breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Company Compliance Certificate;
(ii) any breach or alleged breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative set forth in this Agreement (including the covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 6) or any other document, certificate, schedule or instrument delivered or executed in connection herewith;

(iii) any amount and fees, costs and expenses for which Parent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 2.9(g) or any Company Indebtedness to the extent such Company Indebtedness was not discharged at or prior to Closing; and

(iv) any demands by holders of Company Capital Stock under the DGCL or the CCC, including, without limitation, for fees and costs incurred or expected to be incurred, in connection with any appraisal proceedings and the extent, if any, to which consideration is paid, or expected to be paid, to the holders of Dissenting Shares in excess of the amounts otherwise payable to any such holders of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement (the “Appraisal Rights Indemnification Liability”)

(v) any Company Merger Costs unpaid as of the Closing;
(vi) any Change of Control Expenses unpaid as of the Closing; and
        
(vii) any matters relating to or arising out of the Matrix Patent Termination Agreements.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) no claim may be made for any Loss related to or arising from (A) the amount or availability of any Tax asset or attribute (including, but not limited to, net operating loss carryforward or tax credit carryforward) of the Company or (B) the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates to utilize such Tax asset or attribute following the Effective Time.

63






(c) Any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section 10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless a final determination with respect to the Parent Indemnitee causes such payment to be treated other than as an adjustment to the amount of the Merger Consideration for federal income Tax purposes.
(d) In the event the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as a Parent Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

10.3 Limitations.
(a) To the extent that Parent Indemnitees are entitled to seek recourse against any future Contingent Consideration under this Section 10.3, Parent Indemnitees may offset any Asserted Damages Amount against any Contingent Consideration that becomes due and payable.
(b) Recourse against the General Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims that any of the Parent Indemnitees may have against the Company Securityholders under Section 10.2.(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (vii), except that for indemnification claims either (i) under Section 10.2(a)(i) based on a breach of a Fundamental Representation or any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.13(j) or involving willful breach, fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (ii) under Section 10.2(a)(vii), in each such case the Parent Indemnitees shall be entitled to seek recourse also from any future Contingent Consideration; provided however that the claim amount otherwise available for recourse from future Contingent Consideration based on a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.13(j) shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%). In no event shall any paid Merger Consideration and distributed amounts from the Escrow Fund received by any Company Securityholders be subject to any clawback or recapture pursuant to this Section 10, except in the case of fraud, by such Company Securityholder, on which Parent has relied.
(c) Recourse against (i) first, the Appraisal Right Escrow Fund and (ii) second, at Parent Indemnitees’ choice, against the General Escrow Fund or future Contingent Consideration or both, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims that any of the Parent Indemnitees may have against the Company Securityholders for Appraisal Rights Indemnification Liability (Section 10.2(a)(iv)).
(d) Recourse against (i) first, the Company Merger Costs and Change of Control Expenses Escrow Fund and (ii) second, at Parent Indemnitee’s choice, against the General Escrow Fund or future Contingent Consideration or both, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims that any of

64





the Parent Indemnitees may have against the Company Securityholders for Company Merger Costs (Section 10.2(a)(v)) or Change of Control Expenses (Section 10.2(a)(vi)).
(e) The Company Securityholders shall only be obligated to indemnify Parent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (except in the case of a breach of a Fundamental Representation) for claims which individually involve Damages of at least $25,000 (“Qualified Claims”), it being understood that, subject to Section 10.3(f), Parent may recover the entire amount of any Qualified Claim.
(f) The Company Securityholders shall not be obligated to indemnify Parent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (except in the case of a breach of a Fundamental Representation) until the aggregate amount of Damages from Qualified Claims equals $500,000 (in the aggregate) (the “Deductible Amount”), whereupon the Company Securityholders shall be obligated to indemnify in respect of aggregate Damages from Qualified Claims in excess of the Deductible Amount.
(g) The limitations set forth in Section 10.3(a) through (f) against any Company Securityholder shall not apply in the event of fraud by such Company Securityholder.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.3 shall not limit Parent’s ability to enforce its rights under this Agreement by a decree of specific performance or other equitable relief, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.
(i) The amount of any Damages recoverable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any Tax benefit realized by a Parent Indemnitee in connection with such Damage or any insurance proceeds collected by such Parent Indemnitee in connection with such Damage, net of (i) any increase in insurance premiums, (ii) any applicable insurance deductibles and (iii) costs of collecting such insurance proceeds.

10.4 No Contribution. The Company Securityholders shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert) any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Company Securityholders may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.
10.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. A Parent Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Securityholders’ Representative of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding initiated by a third party. Such notice shall be given within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Parent Indemnitee of notice of such Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Parent Indemnitee in so notifying the Parent Indemnitee shall relieve the Indemnitors of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent-such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnitors or the Securityholders’ Representative with respect to such Legal Proceeding. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Securityholders’ Representative may, upon written notice thereof to the Parent Indemnitee and Parent, assume control of the defense of such Legal
65





Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Parent unless the Parent Indemnitee has notified the Securityholders’ Representative that it has determined in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that such Legal Proceeding may adversely affect the Parent Indemnitees other than as a result of monetary damages; provided that (i) the Securityholders’ Representative may only assume control of such defense if the Securityholders’ Representative has immediate access to sufficient financial means to fund the defense thereof and (ii) the Securityholders’ Representative conclusively, and without qualification or reservation, acknowledges in writing that it has an indemnification obligation pursuant to this Section 10 with respect to a significant portion of the associated Damages. If the Securityholders’ Representative does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Legal Proceeding, the Parent shall control such defense. The Securityholders’ Representative may participate in such defense at its own expense on behalf of the Indemnitors. The Parent shall keep the Securityholders’ Representative advised of the status of such Legal Proceeding and the defense thereof. The Securityholders’ Representative shall furnish Parent with such information as it may have with respect to such Legal Proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise fully cooperate, without delay, with and assist the Parent in the defense of such Legal Proceeding. The fees and expenses of counsel to Parent with respect to a Legal Proceeding shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Parent controls the defense of such Legal Proceeding pursuant to the terms of this section or (ii) the Securityholders’ Representative assumes control of such defense and the Parent Indemnitee reasonably concludes that the Securityholders’ Representative and the Parent Indemnitee have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Legal Proceeding. The Securityholders’ Representative shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Parent, if such settlement or judgment would result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of any Parent Indemnitee, (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of any rights of any Person by any Parent Indemnitee, (iii) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against any Parent Indemnitee or (iv) a judgment or settlement the consequences of which would materially interfere with or adversely affect the reputation or future business prospects of the Parent Indemnitees. Parent shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from any Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
10.6 Indemnification Claims.
(a) In order for any Parent Indemnitee to seek indemnification under this Section 10, Parent shall deliver, in good faith, a written demand (an “Indemnification Demand”) to the Securityholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent which contains
(i) a reasonably detailed description of the claims for which indemnification is sought and the amount (the “Asserted Damages Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Parent Indemnitee, (ii) a statement that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10 for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment of the Asserted Damages Amount.

66





(b) Within forty-five (45) days after delivery of an Indemnification Demand to the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders’ Representative shall deliver to Parent a written response (the “Response”) in which the Securityholders’ Representative shall either: (i) agree that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive all of the Asserted Damages Amount, in which case the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within five days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both such parties instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the full Asserted Damages Amount to the extent of the remaining amount in the applicable Escrow Fund to Parent; (ii) agree that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Asserted Damages Amount (such portion, the “Agreed Portion”), in which case the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within five days following the delivery of the Response, a written notice executed by both such parties instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the Agreed Portion to the extent of the remaining amount in the applicable Escrow Fund to Parent; or (iii) dispute that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount. If the Securityholders’ Representative does not so respond in writing, the Securityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive all of the Asserted Damages Amount, in which case the Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by it instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the full Asserted Damages Amount to the extent of the remaining amount in the applicable Escrow Fund to Parent.

(c) In the event that the Securityholders’ Representative shall (i) dispute that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to receive any of the Asserted Damages Amount, or (ii) agree that the Parent Indemnitee is entitled to only the Agreed Portion of the Asserted Damages Amount, the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of the indemnification claims that comprise the Asserted Damages Amount (or the portion of the Asserted Damages Amount not comprising the Agreed Portion). If the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both such parties and shall be promptly furnished to the Escrow Agent. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Response, either Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative may seek a resolution of the dispute under Section 11.8.

SECTION 11.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
11.1 Securityholders’ Representative.
(a) The Company Securityholders, by approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, hereby irrevocably appoint Fortis Advisors LLC as Securityholders’ Representative in accordance with the terms of the securityholders’ representative agreement attached hereto as Exhibit I (the Securityholders’ Representative Agreement), including to act as their agent and attorney-in-fact for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, consent to the taking by the
67





Securityholders’ Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by it under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (including the exercise of the power to authorize delivery to Parent of the Escrow Funds in satisfaction of claims by Parent or otherwise, agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and demand arbitration, and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims or otherwise, resolve any claims made pursuant to Section 10 and the Escrow Agreement, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing) and waive any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Securityholders’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Securityholders’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Company Securityholder by the Securityholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Company Securityholder by the Securityholders’ Representative, as fully binding upon such Company Securityholder. The rights and obligations of the Securityholders’ Representative shall be as set forth herein and in the Securityholders’ Representative Agreement. If the Securityholders’ Representative shall become unable to fulfill its responsibilities as agent of the Company Securityholders, then the Company Securityholders who held a majority of the voting Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Merger (the “Requisite Former Company Securityholders”) are authorized and shall, within 10 days after disability or resignation, appoint a successor agent and, promptly thereafter, shall notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall become the “Securityholders’ Representative” for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If for any reason there is no Securityholders’ Representative at any time, all references herein to the Securityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Requisite Former Company Securityholders.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Representative Reimbursement Fund in trust for the benefit of the Company Securityholders. The Securityholders’ Representative shall be permitted to withdraw funds from the Representative Reimbursement Fund to reimburse it for any Representative Expenses or Damages incurred hereunder. If the Representative Reimbursement Fund is insufficient to cover such Representative Expenses or Damages, the Securityholders’ Representative shall, at its election, recover such amounts from any distribution of the Escrow Funds or Contingent Consideration otherwise distributable to the Company Securityholders at the time of distribution, or directly from the Company Securityholders in accordance with their Initial Pro Rata Portion. Upon the termination of the Contingent Consideration Period (or such later date as is reasonably determined by the Securityholders’ Representative), the Escrow Agent shall transfer to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their Initial Pro Rata Portion, all amounts then remaining in the Representative Reimbursement Fund. The Company Securityholders acknowledge that the Securityholders’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or administration
68





of the Securityholders’ Representative’s duties. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates be liable, directly or indirectly, for (i) any costs, expenses or fees incurred by, or any Damages suffered or incurred by, the Securityholders’ Representative, or (ii) any Damages suffered or incurred by any Person arising out of or related to the Securityholders’ Representative actions or failures to act.
11.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
11.3 Fees and Expenses. Each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees and accounting fees) that have been incurred or that are incurred by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with or by virtue of
(a) the investigation and review conducted by Parent and its Representatives with respect to the Company’s business (and the furnishing of information to Parent and its Representatives in connection with such investigation and review), (b) the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedule) and all agreements, certificates, opinions and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (c) the preparation and submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the obtaining of any Consent required to be obtained in connection with any of such transactions, and (d) the consummation of the Merger, provided that to the extent such fees, costs and expenses constitute Company Merger Costs, they shall be disbursed by the Paying Agent as provided under this Agreement.
11.4 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received when delivered (by hand, by registered mail, by courier or express delivery service, or by facsimile) to the address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address or facsimile telephone number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):

In the event that separate sales of ArterX and/or Other Products have not been made, such that the data required for the calculation set forth above is not available, the Net Sales for a Combination Product shall be determined by Parent in good faith, based upon the relative value of the Products and Other Products included in such Combination Product taking into account then available facts and circumstances, including, when available, data as to the sales price of distinct components of the Combination Product when sold separately, or, if the Other Product is not sold separately, the increased sales price of a Combination Product over ArterX.
