RECITALS
     A. The Boards of Directors of each of Parent, Sub and the Company believe
it is advisable and in the best interests of each corporation and its respective

     B. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, (i) all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of the Company and all In the Money Company Options (as defined below)
shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein,
and (ii) all Unvested Company Options (as defined below) shall be assumed by
Parent and converted into options to purchase common stock of Parent as set

and issued and outstanding warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company not
otherwise exercised prior to the Merger or converted in accordance with their
terms shall be terminated.
     C. A portion of the consideration otherwise payable by Parent in connection
with the Merger shall be placed in escrow by Parent as partial security for the

     D. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Sub, on the other hand,
desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other
agreements in connection with the Merger.
     E. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     G. For United States federal income tax purposes, the parties intend that
the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), and the parties intend, by executing this
Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and
other premises set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the
performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties
hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
     1.1 The Merger.   At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Code (“Delaware Law”), the Company shall be merged with and
into Sub, the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease, and Sub
shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to
hereinafter as the “Surviving Corporation.”
     1.2 Effective Time.  Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant
to Section 8.1 hereof, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place
as promptly as practicable after the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof
have been satisfied or waived, at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich &
Rosati, Professional Corporation, 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California,
unless another time or place is mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and
the Company. The date upon which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred
to herein as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall
cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger together
with accompanying officers’ certificates in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the
“Certificate of Merger”), in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Delaware Law (the time of such filing by the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).
     1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger
shall be as set forth in this Agreement and as provided in the applicable
provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights,
privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Sub shall vest in the
Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and
Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
     1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. 
          (a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time,
the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended
and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the Certificate of
Incorporation of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until
thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such
Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time,
Article I of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving

-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“The name of the corporation is AirWave Wireless, Inc.”
          (b) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time,
the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated at the
Effective Time to be identical to the bylaws of Sub, as in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Time (other than any express references to the name of
Sub in such bylaws, which shall be amended to refer to the Surviving
Corporation) until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as
provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and
such bylaws.
     1.5 Directors and Officers. 
          (a) Directors of Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by
Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of Sub immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation
immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of
the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and
the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until
their successors are duly elected and qualified.
          (b) Officers of Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by
Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Sub immediately prior to the

after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions
of the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

same in exchange for such holder’s Company Option, and (ii) waive any
acceleration provisions of such Company Option.

Bonus Units shall terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to each
such employee in the event that such employee ceases to be employed by the
Company at any time prior to the Effective Time for any reason. At the Effective

Unit outstanding. A portion of the Common Per Share Amount to be paid and issued

-12-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent
Common Stock shall have been changed into or exchanged for a different number of
shares or kind of shares and/or other securities of Parent or another
corporation or entity by reason of any reclassification, split-up, stock
dividend or stock combination or any arrangement, amalgamation or similar
statutory procedure (an “Adjustment Event”), then the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock to be delivered as consideration hereunder shall be appropriately
adjusted so that each holder of Certificates shall be entitled to receive at the
Effective Time, in lieu of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock provided
for in this Section 1.6, such number and kind of shares and/or other securities
as such holder would have received if the record date and payment date for such
Adjustment Event had been immediately after the Effective Time.
               (ii) Adjustment to Aggregate Consideration Amount. The Aggregate
Consideration Amount shall be subject to downward adjustment, on a dollar for
dollar basis, to the extent of the Downward Adjustment, which shall reduce the
Aggregate Consideration Amount and the respective amounts payable to the holders
of Company Capital Stock in a manner consistent with the spreadsheet attached
hereto as Schedule 1.6(g)(ii). The Special Stock Preference Amount shall not be

          (h) Withholding Taxes. The Company, and on its behalf Parent and the

consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any
Person such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom
under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law or under any
applicable legal requirement. Any such amounts shall be withheld or deducted
from the cash payable to the Securityholder in excess of any amounts being
withheld to fund the Securityholder’s obligations to the Escrow Fund, provided
that if such cash is insufficient to satisfy the full amount to be withheld or
deducted, the remainder shall be satisfied out of the Parent Common Stock
issuable to the Securityholder. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if
any, to be used to satisfy the remaining amount required to be so deducted or
withheld shall be determined by dividing such remaining amount by the Closing
Price, rounded to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 of a share rounded up). 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.
          (i) Capital Stock of Sub. Each share of Common Stock of Sub issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and
exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common
Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Sub evidencing
ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares
of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

rights for such shares under Delaware Law or under Chapter 13 of the California
Corporations Code (“California Law”), as applicable (collectively, the
“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a) hereof, if any
holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure
to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal or dissenters’ rights under
Delaware Law and California Law, as applicable, then, as of the later of the
Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall
automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the
consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.6
hereof, without interest thereon, and subject to the provisions of
Section 7.3(e) hereof, upon surrender of the certificate representing such
shares.
          (c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written
demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable
provisions of Delaware Law or California Law, and (ii) the opportunity to
participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.
The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any
payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such
demands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Parent, the Surviving
Corporation or the Company (i) makes any payment or payments in respect of any
Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been
payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement or
(ii) incurs any Losses (including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, costs and
expenses and including any such fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection
with investigating, defending against or settling any action or proceeding) in
respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) ((i) and
(ii) together, “Dissenting Share Payments”), Parent shall be entitled to recover
under the terms of Article VII hereof the amount of such Dissenting Share
Payments.
     1.8 Establishment of Escrow.

equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Aggregate Consideration Amount otherwise
issuable on the Merger to holders of Company Common Stock, In the Money Company
Options, Common Bonus Units, Company Special Stock and Company Preferred Stock
(the “Escrow Amount”). The Escrow Amount, and any interest earned thereon, shall
be maintained in a separate account and disbursed as provided in Article VII.
          (b) Interest. Any interest accruing on the Escrow Amount shall be held
in the Escrow Fund and be available to cover claims for Losses until distributed
upon termination of the Escrow Fund, as provided in Article VII. Any such
interest shall be distributed to Parent (to the extent earned or paid with
respect to cash in the Escrow Fund distributed to Parent to cover Losses
pursuant to Article VII) or pro rata to the Securityholders (to the extent
earned or paid with respect to cash ultimately distributed to such
Securityholders upon termination of the Escrow Fund), such that any interest
earned on any cash in the Escrow Fund generally follows the ultimate recipient
of the cash on which such interest was earned.

exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the Merger.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

addition, Parent shall separately deposit the Escrow Amount into the Escrow
Fund, as provided in Section 1.8.
          (c) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the
execution of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause

Company Preferred Stock, Company Special Stock, Vested Company Options and
Common Bonus Units (the instruments representing the same, “Certificates”) (A) a
letter of transmittal in Parent’s standard form and (B) instructions for using
the letter of transmittal to effect the surrender of Certificates for
cancellation in exchange for the portion of the Aggregate Consideration Amount
to which the holder is entitled (less any portion thereof deposited into the
Escrow Fund on behalf of such holder). After receipt of such letter of
transmittal and any other documents that Parent or the Exchange Agent may
require in order to effect the exchange (the “Exchange Documents”), the
Shareholders will surrender the certificates representing their shares of
Company Capital Stock to the Exchange Agent for cancellation together with duly
completed and validly executed Exchange Documents. Upon surrender of a
Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or such other agent or
agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such Exchange Documents,
duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto,
subject to the terms of Section 1.9(e) hereof, the holder of such Certificate
shall be entitled to receive from the Exchange Agent in exchange therefor, a
certificate representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and
the cash payment to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof
(less any portion of the cash payment to be deposited in the Escrow Fund
pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof and Article VII hereof), and the Certificate so
surrendered shall be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Certificate
outstanding after the Effective Time will be deemed, for all corporate purposes
thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the portion of the Aggregate
Consideration Amount payable pursuant to the Merger from and after the Effective
Time. No portion of the Aggregate Consideration Amount will be paid to the
holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to shares of Company
Capital Stock, Vested Company Options or Common Bonus Units formerly represented
thereby until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate
and the Exchange Documents pursuant hereto. As provided in the letter of
transmittal, by executing and delivering the same, each Securityholder will
acknowledge and agree to perform the obligations attributed to the
Securityholders hereunder and the indemnification obligations with respect to
actions and Losses of the Shareholder Representative (as set forth in
Section 7.5 hereof) and shall confirm the appointment of the Shareholder
Representative.
          (d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or
other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to
Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to
the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent
Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate
shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender
of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the
certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange
therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of
dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.
          (e) Transfers of Ownership. If any Parent Common Stock or cash is to
be paid or allocated in a name other than that in which the Certificate
surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the
payment or allocation thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be
properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person
requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it
any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a

-15-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the
registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the
satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid
or is not payable.
          (f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 1.9, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any
party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock,
Vested Company Options or Common Bonus Units for any amount properly paid to a
public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar law.
          (g) Exchange Agent to Return Undistributed Consideration. At any time
following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall be
entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to Parent or its designated
successor or assign all cash amounts and shares of Parent Common Stock that have
been deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Agreement, and any and
all interest thereon or other income or proceeds thereof, not disbursed to the
holders of Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, and thereafter the holders
of Certificates shall be entitled to look only to Parent as general creditors
thereof with respect to any and all cash amounts and shares of Parent Common
Stock that may be payable or issuable to such holders of Certificates and duly
executed letters of transmittal and related documents (if any) in the manner set
forth in this Agreement. No interest shall be payable for the cash amounts
delivered to Parent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.9(g) and which
are subsequently delivered to the holders of Certificates.
     1.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock.  The shares of
Parent Common Stock issued and cash delivered to the Exchange Agent, deposited
into the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be
full satisfaction of all rights pertaining thereto, and there shall be no
further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of
shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the
Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as
provided in this Article I.
     1.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  In the event any Certificates
shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amount, if any, as may be
required pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in
its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the

-27-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

licensor, sublessor, master lessor and/or lessee, the date and term of the
lease, license, sublease or other occupancy right and each amendment thereto
and, with respect to any current lease, license, sublease or other occupancy
right the aggregate annual rental payable thereunder.
          (b) The Company has provided Parent true, correct and complete copies
of all leases, lease guaranties, subleases, agreements for the leasing, use or
occupancy of, or otherwise granting a right in or relating to the Leased Real
Property, including all amendments, terminations and modifications thereof
(“Lease Agreements”); and there are no other Lease Agreements for real property
affecting the Leased Real Property or to which Company is bound, other than
those identified in Section 2.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule. All such Lease
Agreements are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms,
and there is not, under any of such leases, any existing default, no rentals
past due, or event of default (or event which with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a default). The Company has not received any notice of a
default, alleged failure to perform, or any offset or counterclaim with respect
to any such Lease Agreement, which has not been fully remedied and withdrawn.
Assuming the receipt of consents relating to the Lease Agreements set forth in
Section 2.5 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Closing will not affect the
enforceability against any person of any such Lease Agreement or the rights of
the Company or the Surviving Corporation to the continued use and possession of
the Leased Real Property for the conduct of business as presently conducted. The
Company currently occupies all of the Leased Real Property for the operation of
its business except as set forth in Section 2.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

Property, except as set forth in Section 2.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule. The

any such Leased Real Property or would owe any such fees if any existing Lease
Agreement were renewed pursuant to any renewal options contained in such Lease
Agreements.
          (c) The Leased Real Property is in good operating condition and
repair, free from structural, physical and mechanical defects, is maintained in
a manner consistent with standards generally followed with respect to similar
properties, and is structurally sufficient and otherwise suitable for the
conduct of the business as presently conducted. Neither the operation of the
Company on the Leased Real Property nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, such Leased
Real Property, including the improvements thereon, violate in any material
respect any applicable building code, zoning requirement or statute relating to
such property or operations thereon, and any such non-violation is not dependent
on so-called non-conforming use exceptions. There is not existing, the Company
has not received any notice of, and to the Knowledge of the Company, there is
not presently contemplated or proposed, any eminent domain, condemnation or
similar action, or zoning action or proceeding, with respect to any portion of
the Leased Real Property. The Company shall not be required to expend more than
$25,000 in the aggregate under all Lease Agreements to restore the Leased Real
Property at the end of the term of the applicable Lease Agreement to the
condition required under the Lease Agreement (assuming the conditions existing
in such Leased Real Property as of the date hereof and as of the Closing).
          (d) The Company has good and valid title to, or, in the case of leased
properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in, all of its tangible
properties and assets, real, personal and mixed, used or held for use in its
business as currently conducted, free and clear of any Liens, except (i) as
reflected in the Current Balance Sheet, (ii) Liens for Taxes not yet delinquent,
and (iii) such imperfections of title and encumbrances, if any, which do not
materially detract from the value or interfere with the present use of the
property subject thereto or affected thereby.

violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Parent or the certificate
of incorporation or bylaws of Sub, or (ii) conflict with or violate in any
material respect any Law or Order in each case applicable to Parent or Sub or by
which its or any of their respective properties, rights or assets is bound or
affected.

Law, antitrust filings under the HSR Act or any applicable foreign

accept or enter in any Acquisition Proposal prior to the Expiration Date, and
the Company agrees that any negotiations in progress as of the date hereof with
respect to any Acquisition Proposal will be terminated or suspended during the

In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to

action which is reasonably intended to induce or encourage any employee of the
Company or any subsidiary thereof to terminate his or her employment with the

Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e), the Company agrees that it shall not,
directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Parent, solicit,
encourage or take any other action which is reasonably intended to induce or
encourage any employee of Parent or any subsidiary thereof to terminate his or
her employment with Parent or any subsidiary thereof. This subparagraph
(c) shall not prohibit a party from hiring or soliciting any person who is no
longer an employee of the other so long as such person’s termination from the
other party was unrelated to any actions directly or indirectly taken by such
party, or from engaging in general advertising.
          (d) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that the provisions of this Section 4.2 were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed by the parties hereto that each party shall be entitled to an
immediate injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the
inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any
bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this
Section 4.2 by the other party hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having
jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the party
seeking to enforce the terms hereof may be entitled at law or in equity. Without
limiting the foregoing, it

-49-

above by any officer, director, agent, representative or affiliate of a party
shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by such party.

     5.7 Fairness Hearing; Shareholder Approval. 
          (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of this
Agreement, Parent and the Company agree to prepare the necessary documents and
Parent shall apply to obtain a permit (a “California Permit”) from the
Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California (after a hearing before
such Commissioner) pursuant to Sections 25121 and 25142 of the California
Corporate Securities Law of 1968 (the “Fairness Hearing Law”), so that the
issuance of Common Bonus Units hereunder and the issuance of Parent Common Stock
in the Merger shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by
virtue of the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof, and the Company
shall prepare, with the cooperation of Parent, a related information statement
or other disclosure document (the “Information Statement”).
          (b) The Information Statement shall constitute a disclosure document
for the offer and issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be received
by the holders of Common Bonus Units and Company Capital Stock in the Merger.
The Company shall cooperate with, and provide the information requested by,
Parent in connection with Parent’s application for the California Permit. The
Company and Parent will respond to any comments from the California Department
of Corporations and work together in good faith and use their commercially
reasonable efforts to have the California Permit granted as soon as practicable
after such filing. Each of Parent and the Company agrees to provide promptly to
the other such information concerning its business and financial statements and
affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the providing party or its counsel,
may be required or appropriate under the Fairness Hearing Law for inclusion in
the Information Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to
cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and
auditors in preparation of the Information Statement. In the event that, after
working in good faith and with commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
California Permit, Parent determines that it is not able to receive the
California Permit under terms that permit the timely close of the transactions
contemplated hereunder, Parent shall issue to the Company a notice (the
“Election Notice”) that it is abandoning the process and will instead either
register the securities or rely on an exemption to registration, in each case
allowing the satisfaction of the closing condition contained in Sections 6.2(g)
and 6.3(d) hereof, and specifying whether the Parent intends to proceed with
registration or reliance on an exemption.
          (c) In the event that either Parent issues an Election Notice or a
California Permit is acquired but does not cover the issuance of the Common
Bonus Units, Parent will elect one of the alternatives set forth below and the
parties will cooperate to effect such alternative
               (i) Company will not issue the Common Bonus Units and Parent will
instead agree to deliver an equivalent value of stock and cash after the
Closing. Such amount paid directly by Parent will decrease the Aggregate
Consideration Amount on a dollar for dollar basis.
               (ii) Parent will increase the amount of cash payable pursuant to
this Agreement and decrease the amount of stock issuable to allow for payment in
cash of the amounts due to the holders of Common Bonus Units hereunder.

-52-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

               (iii) The parties will decrease the cash payable to the holders
of Company Common Stock (with a corresponding increase in the stock issuable)
and increase the cash payable to the holders of Common Bonus Units (with a
corresponding decrease in the stock issuable) such that the holders of Common
Bonus Units are paid entirely in cash.
          (d) As promptly as practical after the date of this Agreement, Parent
and Company shall prepare and make such filings as are required under applicable
blue sky laws relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Company shall assist Parent as may be necessary to comply with the securities
and blue sky laws relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (e) As promptly as practicable after the receipt of a California
Permit, but in no event longer than two (2) Business Days from the receipt of a
California Permit or the issuance of the Election Notice, the Company shall
submit this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to the
Shareholders for approval and adoption as provided by Delaware Law and the
Charter Documents. Such submission, and any proxy or consent in connection
therewith (i) shall include a solicitation of the Required Vote and (ii) shall
specify that adoption of this Agreement shall constitute approval by the
Shareholders of: (a) the escrow and indemnification obligations of the
Shareholders set forth in Article VII hereof and the deposit of the Escrow
Amount into the Escrow Fund as contemplated by Section 1.9(b) hereof and (b) in
favor of the appointment of Robert Headley as Shareholder Representative, under
and as defined in this Agreement.
          (f) Any materials to be submitted to the Shareholders in connection
with the solicitation of their approval of the Merger and this Agreement,
including the Information Statement and if required pursuant to Section 5.7(h),
any materials submitted to the Shareholders in connection with obtaining the
280G Approval (the “Soliciting Materials”), shall be subject to review and
approval by Parent and shall include information regarding the Company, the
terms of the Merger and this Agreement, and the unanimous recommendation of the
Board of Directors of the Company in favor of the Merger and this Agreement,
including each of the matters set forth in Section 5.7(e) hereof and if required
pursuant to Section 5.7(h), the 280G Approval. The Company will promptly advise
Parent in writing if at any time prior to the Closing the Company shall obtain
knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary or appropriate to amend or
supplement the Soliciting Materials in order to make statements contained or
incorporated by reference therein not misleading or to comply with applicable
law. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Company
shall not include in the Information Statement or any other Soliciting Materials
any information with respect to Parent or its affiliates or associates, the form
and content of which shall not have been consented to in writing by Parent prior
to such inclusion.
          (g) The Company shall obtain the consent of its Shareholders holding
the Required Vote to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable
following the date hereof. Promptly following receipt of written consents of its
Shareholders constituting the Required Vote, the Company shall deliver notice of
the approval of the Merger by written consent of the Company’s Shareholders,
pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the “Shareholder
Notice”). In the event the Company holds a meeting of Shareholders to obtain
approval of the remaining Shareholders, the Company shall consult with Parent
regarding the date of the Shareholders’ meeting (the “Company Shareholders’
Meeting”) and shall not postpone or adjourn (other than for absence of a quorum)
the Company Shareholders’ Meeting without the consent of the Parent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall give Shareholders sufficient
notice prior to the Closing such that no Shareholder will be able to exercise
appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights if such Shareholder has not perfected
such rights prior to Closing, pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware
Law. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause Shareholders holding no
more than five

-53-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

percent (5%) of the outstanding Company Capital Stock to continue to have a
right to exercise appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights under applicable law
with respect to their Company Capital Stock by virtue of the Merger.
          (h) In addition, the Company shall (i) promptly submit for approval by
its Shareholders by the requisite vote (and in a manner satisfactory to Parent)
any payments or benefits that Parent determines may constitute a “parachute
payment” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code, such that all such payments and
benefits shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G
of the Code or shall be exempt from such treatment under such Section 280G (the
“280G Approval”), and (ii) deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent
that a Shareholder vote was held in conformance with Section 280G and the
regulations thereunder and that either the 280G Approval was obtained or that
such approval has not been obtained with respect to any payment or benefit that
may be deemed to constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Code and as a consequence, that such “parachute payment”
shall not be made or provided.
          (i) The Board of Directors of the Company shall not alter, modify,
change or revoke its unanimous approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including each of the matters set forth in
Section 5.7(e) hereof and if required pursuant to Section 5.7(h), the 280G
Approval, nor its unanimous recommendation to the Shareholders to vote in favor
of this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby,
including each of the matters set forth in Section 5.7(e) hereof and, if
required pursuant to Section 5.7(h), the 280G Approval.
     5.8 Merger Notification.
          (a) To the extent applicable, as soon as may be reasonably
practicable, the Company and Parent (and any applicable Shareholder of the
Company) shall make all filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations
and submissions of information, application or submission of other documents
required by any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including: (i) Notification and Report Forms
with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice
(“DOJ”) as required by the HSR Act and (ii) filings required by the merger
notification or control laws or regulations of any other applicable
jurisdictions identified in Section 5.8 of the Disclosure Schedule. Each of
Parent and the Company shall cause all documents that it is responsible for
filing with any Governmental Entity under this Section 5.8 to comply in all
material respects with applicable law.
          (b) The Company and Parent (and/or any applicable Shareholder of the
Company) each shall promptly (a) supply the others with any information which
reasonably may be required in order to effectuate the filings contemplated by
Section 5.8(a) and (b) supply any additional information which reasonably may be
required by the competition or merger control authorities of any other
jurisdiction and which the parties may reasonably deem appropriate. Except where
prohibited by applicable law, the Company or the Parent, as applicable, shall
consult with the other party prior to taking a position with respect to any such
filings, shall permit such other party to review and discuss in advance, and
consider in good faith the views of such other party in connection with, any
analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, white papers, other
materials, arguments, opinions and proposals before making or submitting any of
the foregoing to any Governmental Entity in connection with any investigations
or proceedings in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, coordinate with such other party in preparing and providing
such information and promptly provide such other party (and its counsel) copies
of all filings, presentations and submissions (and a summary of oral
presentations) made by the Company or the Parent, as the case may be,

-54-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

with any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. Parent shall have principal control over the
strategy for interacting with such Governmental Entities in connection with the
matters contained in this Section 5.8.
          (c) Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly
upon the receipt of (i) any comments from any officials of any Governmental
Entity in connection with any filings made pursuant hereto and (ii) any request
by any officials of any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to any
filings made pursuant to, or information provided to comply in all materials
respect with, applicable law. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be
set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to
Section 5.8(a), Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will promptly inform
the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the applicable
Governmental Entity such amendment or supplement.
     5.9 Notice to Holders of Company Warrants. Not later than two (2) Business
Days after the receipt of a California Permit, the Company shall deliver notice
to the holders of Company Warrants, which such notice shall be in compliance
with the terms of such Company Warrants, that the Company Warrants,
respectively, will be cancelled, terminated or converted at or prior to the
Closing (in accordance with the applicable terms of any Company Warrant). Any
materials to be submitted to the holders of Company Warrants in connection with
the notice required under this Section 5.9 shall be subject to review and
approval by Parent.
     5.10 Consents. The Company shall use best efforts to obtain all necessary
consents, waivers and approvals of any parties to any Contract as are required
thereunder in connection with the Merger or for any such Contracts to remain in
full force and effect, so as to preserve all rights of, and benefits to, the
Company under such Contract from and after the Effective Time. Such consents,
waivers and approvals shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. In the
event that the other parties to any such Contract, including any lessor or
licensor of any Leased Real Property, conditions its grant of a consent, waiver
or approval (including by threatening to exercise a “recapture” or other
termination right) upon the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment
or other consideration, including increased rent payments or other payments
under the Contract, such fees, payments or other consideration are Excluded
Liabilities and will not be reflected (or be required to be reflected) on the
Company’s balance sheet or Adjusted Working Capital Amount Statement to be
delivered hereunder. The Company shall use best efforts to amend the Contract
listed on Schedule 5.10 and agrees that any liabilities incurred by Company or
Parent as a result of the assignment or termination of such Contract shall be an
“Agreed Contract Loss” for purposes of Article VII.
     5.11 Restrictions on Transfer. All certificates representing Parent Common
Stock deliverable to any Securityholder of the Company pursuant to this
Agreement and in connection with the Merger and any certificates subsequently
issued with respect thereto or in substitution therefor (including any shares
issued or issuable in respect of any such shares upon any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, or similar event) shall bear any legend required by
Delaware Law or such as are required pursuant to any federal, state, local or
foreign law governing such securities.
     5.12 Termination of Agreements. The Company shall terminate each of the
agreements listed on Schedule 6.2(k) hereof (the “Terminated Agreements”),
effective as of and contingent upon the Closing, including sending all required
notices, such that each such agreement shall be of no further force or effect
immediately following the Effective Time. Any amounts that the Company is
required to pay in order to terminate any Terminated Agreements are Excluded
Liabilities and will not be reflected (or be required to be

-55-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

reflected) on the Company’s balance sheet or Adjusted Working Capital Amount
Statement to be delivered hereunder.
     5.13 Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement. Each
person who becomes an employee of the Company after the date hereof and prior to
the Closing shall be required by the Company to enter into and execute an
Employee Proprietary Information Agreement with the Company effective as of such
employee’s first date of employment or service. Each person who becomes a
consultant or independent contractor of the Company after the date hereof and
prior to the Closing shall be required by the Company to enter into and execute,
a Consultant Proprietary Information Agreement with the Company effective as of
such consultant or contractor’s first date of service.
     5.14 New Employment Benefits.
          (a) Parent or the Surviving Corporation will provide Continuing
Employees with compensation and benefits that are substantially similar in the
aggregate to similarly situated employees of Parent or the Surviving
Corporation; provided, however, that nothing herein will prevent the amendment
or termination of any specific plan, program or arrangement, require that Parent
or the Surviving Corporation provide or permit investment in the securities of
Parent or the Surviving Corporation or interfere with Parent’s or the Surviving
Corporation’s right or obligation to make such changes as are necessary to
comply with applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, nothing herein shall preclude Parent or the Surviving Corporation from
terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee for any reason for which
the Company could have terminated such Continuing Employee prior to the
Effective Time. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) the Company shall terminate
effective as of the Closing Date all employment agreements and other
arrangements with its employees and contractors, and (ii) within a reasonable
time prior to the Closing Date, the Parent shall extend written offers of
at-will employment to all current Company employees, identified on Schedule 5.14
attached hereto, and including, for avoidance of doubt, any of such employees
who may be on short-term or long term disability as of the Closing Date.
          (b) To the extent practicable pursuant to the terms of such plans, for
all purposes under the employee benefit plans of Parent and the Surviving
Corporation providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Effective
Time (the “Post-Closing Plans”), each Continuing Employee will be credited with
his or her years of service with the Company before the Effective Time to the
same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time,
to credit for such service under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan for
purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (other than respect to equity
awards), but not for purposes of benefit accrual under defined benefit plans,
for any purpose where service credit for the applicable period is not provided
to participants generally, or to the extent such credit would result in a
duplication of accrual of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, to the extent practicable pursuant to the terms of
such plans, (i) for purposes of each Post-Closing Plan providing medical,
dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, the
Surviving Corporation will cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and
actively-at-work requirements of such Post-Closing Plan to be waived for such
Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent any such
exclusions or requirements were waived or were inapplicable under any similar or
comparable Company Benefit Plan, and (ii) the Surviving Corporation will cause
any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her
covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Pre-Closing Plan
ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding
Post-Closing Plan begins to be taken into account under such Post-Closing Plan
for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket
requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee

-56-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such
amounts had been paid in accordance with such Post-Closing Plan.
          (c) Parent will not assume any accrued and unpaid vacation time as of
the Closing. Any accrued and unpaid vacation shall be paid by the Company prior
to the Closing (in the final paycheck from the Company to its employees).
Section 5.14(c)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule hereto sets forth the estimated
amount of accrued vacation time for each employee of the Company. The value of
the actual accrued vacation time will be calculated by the Company as of the
time of termination and an updated schedule (Section 5.14(c)(ii) of the
Disclosure Schedule) shall be delivered by the Company to Parent three
(3) Business Days prior to Closing. The actual value shall be provided to Parent
within three (3) days after the Closing Date.
     5.15 Offer Letters. Prior to or concurrent with execution of this
Agreement, the Company shall cause the Key Employees to execute and deliver to
Parent an Offer Letter.
     5.16 Resignation of Officers and Directors. The Company shall cause each
officer and director of the Company to execute a resignation letter effective as
of the Effective Time.
     5.17 S-8 Registration. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing
Date, Parent agrees to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8,
if available for use by Parent, registering that number of shares of Parent
Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of all Unvested Company Options assumed by Parent pursuant to
Section 1.6(c) hereof that are eligible to registered on Form S-8 and Parent
shall use no less effort to maintain the effectiveness of such registration
statement than applied to maintain the effectiveness of other Registration
Statements on Form S-8 of Parent.
     5.18 Termination of Certain Company Employee Plans. Effective as of no
later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, each of the Company
and any ERISA Affiliate (as such term is defined in Section 2.23 hereof) shall
terminate any and all severance, salary continuation and separation programs and
all Company Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement
(each, a “401(k) Plan”) (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company
that one or more of such 401(k) Plans shall not be terminated). Unless Parent
provides such written notice to the Company, no later than five (5) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence
that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Company or such ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be. The form
and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of
Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of
terminating such 401(k) Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. In
the event that termination of a 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to
trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees (such charges or
fees, the “401(k) Fees”) then such 401(k) Fees shall be the responsibility of
the Company and the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to
reasonably estimate the amount of such 401(k) Fees and provide such estimate in
writing to Parent no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Closing
Date. The Company shall pay all 401(k) Fees prior to Closing and, to the extent
not paid by the Company, Parent shall be entitled to indemnification for all
such 401(k) Fees under Article VII hereof.
     5.19 Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, including without limitation
all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting

-57-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by a party in
connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Third Party
Expenses”), shall be the obligation of the respective party incurring such fees
and expenses. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the
Company shall provide Parent with a statement of Estimated Third Party Expenses
as of the Closing Date, such statement showing detail of both previously paid
and currently unpaid Third Party Expenses incurred by the Company, as well as
the Third Party Expenses that are expected to be incurred by the Company in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, all in
form reasonably acceptable to Parent and certified as true and correct by the
Company’s Treasurer (the “Statement of Expenses”). Parent shall have the right
to review and consent to any Third Party Expenses which are deemed to be covered
by the $200,000 of Third Party Expenses which are excluded from the Estimated
Third Party Expenses Adjustment Amount, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. Parent shall be entitled to indemnification for Third Party Expenses
incurred by the Company that are not reflected on the Statement of Expenses, and
that cause an Excess Third Party Expenses Adjustment Amount, which shall be paid
out of the Escrow Amount and shall not be limited by the Basket Amount.
          (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all fees relating to any filing by
the Company or Parent under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust laws shall be
split equally between Parent and the Company and, for the avoidance of doubt,
the Company’s portion of such fees shall not be deemed Third Party Expenses of
the Company. Parent shall pay all required filing fees to the FTC, DOJ or
appropriate foreign bodies, as applicable, on behalf of both Parent and the
Company and, within one Business Day following such payment, the Company shall
reimburse Parent for one-half of the amount of such filing fees (the aggregate
of all such amounts, the “Company Filing Fee Obligation”).
     5.20 Spreadsheet. The Company shall deliver to Parent and the Exchange
Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a spreadsheet (the
“Spreadsheet”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 5.20, which
spreadsheet shall be certified as complete and correct by the Chief Executive
Officer and Treasurer of the Company as of the Closing and which shall include,
among other things, as of the Closing:
          (a) with respect to each Shareholder, (i) such Person’s address and
social security number (or tax identification number, as applicable), (ii) the
number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Person (including whether
such shares are Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock, the
Company Series B Preferred Stock, the Company C Preferred Stock or the Company
Series D Preferred Stock or Company Special Stock), (iii) the respective
certificate number(s) representing such shares, (iv) whether such shares
constitute Company Unvested Common Stock (including, for each certificate, the
number of shares that are vested as of the Closing), (v) the liquidation
preference applicable to each share of Company Preferred Stock (pursuant to
Section 1.6), (vi) the date of acquisition of such shares, (vii) the Pro Rata
Portion applicable to such Person, (viii) the number of shares of Parent Common
Stock to be issued and amount of cash to be paid to each holder, (ix) the number
shares of Parent Common Stock and amount of cash, if any, to be paid by the
Shareholder in settlement of tax withholding obligations pursuant to
Section 1.6(h), and (x) such other information relevant thereto or which the
Exchange Agent may reasonably request, and
          (b) with respect to each Vested Company Optionholder and/or holder of
Common Bonus Units and/or holder of a Company Warrant, (i) such Person’s address
and social security number (or tax identification number, as applicable),
(ii) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock underlying each Company
Option and Company Warrant held by such Person and the number of Common Bonus
Units (if

-58-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any) held by such Person, (ii) the respective grant date(s) of such Company
Options, (iii) the respective exercise price(s) of such Company Options and
Company Warrants, (iv) whether such Company Options are incentive stock options
or non-qualified stock options, (v) the aggregate amount of cash to be paid to
such person at the Closing in respect of any Vested Company Options and Company
Warrants held by such Person, (vi) the Pro Rata Portion applicable to such
Person, (vii) any tax withholding amounts, if applicable, and (viii) such other
information relevant thereto or that Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably
request.
     5.21 Estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount and Dispute Resolution.
          (a) The Company shall deliver to Parent a statement that calculates
the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital Amount, in substantially the form
attached hereto as Schedule 5.21 (the “Adjusted Working Capital Amount
Statement”), not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and
shall cause the Adjusted Working Capital Amount Statement to be prepared in good
faith and certified as true and correct by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
as of the Closing Date in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent. If the
Adjusted Working Capital Amount is less than the Estimated Adjusted Working
Capital Amount as set forth on the Adjusted Working Capital Amount Statement,
and thus, the Working Capital Shortfall was less than the amount by which the
Adjusting Working Capital Amount was less (more negative) than $(350,000) (such
difference, the “Adjusted Shortfall”), then the difference between the Adjusted
Shortfall and the Working Capital Shortfall shall be paid out of the Escrow Fund
in accordance with Section 7.2(c) and such amount shall be the “Excess
Liabilities.”
          (b) If Parent disagrees with the Adjusted Working Capital Amount
Statement, Parent will notify the Shareholder Representative in writing (a
“Working Capital Dispute Notice”) within a commercially reasonable time after
the Closing (not to exceed ninety (90) days), stating the basis of the
disagreement in reasonable detail. During the thirty (30) day period following
delivery of a Working Capital Dispute Notice, Parent and the Shareholder
Representative shall attempt to resolve in good faith any differences they may
have with respect to any matters specified in the Working Capital Dispute
Notice. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the parties shall have
failed to reach written agreement with respect to all disputed matters, then any
matters specified in the Working Capital Dispute Notice with respect to which an
agreement has not been reached (the “Working Capital Disputed Matters”) shall be
submitted to an independent certified public accounting firm mutually selected
by the Shareholder Representative and Parent (the “Arbitrator”). Within ten
(10) days after submission of the Working Capital Disputed Matters to the
Arbitrator, Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall each submit to the
Arbitrator such party’s computation of the Adjusted Working Capital Amount,
together with a supporting brief (which shall also be submitted to the other
party). Within five (5) days after receipt of a supporting brief, the receiving
party may present a responsive brief to the Arbitrator (in which case it shall
provide a copy thereof to the other party). Each party shall also be entitled to
one in-person meeting to discuss with the Arbitrator its position on the Working
Capital Disputed Matters. The Arbitrator shall consider only the Working Capital
Disputed Matters. The Arbitrator shall act promptly and in all events shall
deliver its conclusions to the parties in writing no later than forty five
(45) days after the submission of the Working Capital Disputed Matters to the
Arbitrator, and the Arbitrator’s decision with respect to all Working Capital
Disputed Matters shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto, absent
manifest error. The Arbitrator shall select the computation of either Parent or
the Shareholder Representative as a resolution and may not impose an alternative
resolution. The Arbitrator shall make its determination based solely on
presentations and supporting material provided by the parties and not pursuant
to any independent review. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator incurred in
connection with its review and determination of any Working Capital Disputed
Matters shall be paid by Parent; provided,

-59-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

however, that Parent shall be entitled to deduct one half of such fees and
expenses ratably from the amounts deposited in the Escrow Fund (the “Working
Capital Fees”).
     5.22 Treatment as a Reorganization. None of Parent, Sub or the Company
shall, and they shall not permit any of their respective subsidiaries to, take
or fail to take any action prior to or following the Closing which would
reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of Parent,
Sub and the Company shall report the Merger as a “reorganization” within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
     5.23 Release of Liens. The Company shall file, or shall have filed, all
agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Parent, that are necessary or appropriate to effect
the release of all Liens set forth in Schedule 6.2(v) hereto.
     5.24 NASDAQ Listing. Parent shall take such actions as may be necessary in
order for the shares of Parent Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance
in connection with the Merger to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Market
immediately after the Effective Time (subject to compliance with Rule 145 under
the Securities Act).
     5.25 FIRPTA Compliance. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to
Parent a properly executed statement (a “FIRPTA Compliance Certificate”) in a
form reasonably acceptable to Parent for purposes of satisfying Parent’s
obligations under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3).
     5.26 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification. For each person
who is an officer of the Company or a member of the Company’s Board of Directors
immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”),
Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor
the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification provisions under
the Charter Documents as in effect on the date hereof for a period of not less
than six (6) years following the Effective Time; provided, however, that the
obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this
Section 5.26 (a) shall be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable law,
and (b) shall not be deemed to release any Company Indemnified Person or any
affiliate of such Company Indemnified Person who is also an officer or director
of the Company from his, her or its indemnity obligations under Article VII
hereof, nor shall such Company Indemnified Person or any affiliate of such
Company Indemnified Person have any right of contribution, indemnification or
right of advancement from the Surviving Corporation or Parent with respect to
any Loss claimed by any of the Indemnified Parties against such Company
Indemnified Person or any affiliate of such Company Indemnified Person in his,
her or its capacity as a Securityholder pursuant to Article VII hereof. Parent
or Surviving Corporation will (i) maintain in effect for a period of six
(6) years after the Effective Time the current policies of directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company immediately prior to the
Effective Time (provided that Parent or Surviving Corporation may substitute
therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and
conditions that are not less advantageous in the aggregate to the directors and
officers of the Company) or (ii) obtain as of the Effective Time “tail”
insurance policies with a claims period of six years from the Effective Time
with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions
that are not less advantageous in the aggregate to the directors and officers of
the Company, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to
events which occurred before or at the Effective Time.
     5.27 Optional Conversion of Sub to LLC. Prior to the Closing, at the
election of Parent, Sub may be converted into a Delaware limited liability
company which is wholly-owned by Parent and

-60-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

references in this Agreement which refer to Sub as a Delaware corporation shall
be deemed to instead refer to a Delaware limited liability company.
ARTICLE VI

respective obligations of the Company, Parent and Sub to effect the Merger shall
be subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to the Effective Time, of the

Entity shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any statute,

under the HSR Act relating to the transactions contemplated hereby will have
expired or terminated early and all material foreign antitrust approvals

opinions from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation and
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, respectively, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to them, to the effect that the Merger will constitute a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the issuance
of such opinions shall be conditioned upon the receipt by such counsel of
customary representation letters from each of Parent, Sub and the Company, in
each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such counsel and
each such representation letter shall be dated on the date of such opinion and
shall not have been withdrawn or modified in any material respect) and such
opinions shall not have been withdrawn; provided, however, that if either party
fails to receive such an opinion (or such opinion has been withdrawn prior to
Closing) and counsel for the other party has delivered (and not withdrawn) its
opinion, the party that failed to receive such an opinion shall be deemed to
have waived this condition and shall be required to rely on the opinion of
counsel for the other party, subject to such counsel’s consent.
     6.2 Conditions to the Obligations of Parent and Sub. The obligations of

delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing.
     7.2 Indemnification.

and not jointly (and except in respect of any liability for fraud, which shall
be subject to the terms of Schedule 7.2, in proportion to each Securityholder’s
Pro Rata Portion) indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its officers,

               (i) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of
the Company or any other Person contained in this Agreement or any certificates
or other instruments delivered by or on behalf of any Person other than Parent
or Sub pursuant to this Agreement (provided that, in the event of any such
breach or inaccuracy, for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss no
effect will be given to any qualification as to “materiality,” a “Company
Material Adverse Effect” or “Knowledge” contained therein),
               (ii) any failure by the Company or any other Person (other than
Parent or Sub) to perform or comply with any covenant applicable to any of them
contained in this Agreement or any certificates or other instruments delivered
pursuant to this Agreement,
               (iii) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation of any

-67-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The duty of the Securityholders (including any officer or director of the
Company) to indemnify Parent will be determined without regard to any right to
indemnification to which any Securityholder may have in his or her capacity as
an officer, director, employee, or agent of the Company, and no such
Securityholder shall have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of
advancement from the Surviving Corporation or Parent with respect to any amounts
paid hereunder.
          (b) Any Person committing fraud or any intentional misrepresentation
of any representation, or any willful breach of any warranty or covenant
contained in this Agreement, in any certificate or other instrument delivered
pursuant to this Agreement, shall be severally, and not jointly, liable for, and
shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless for, any Losses
incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them (including the
Surviving Corporation), directly or indirectly, as a result of such fraud or
intentional misrepresentation of a representation, or willful breach of a
warranty or covenant committed by such Person.
          (c) With respect to Losses to be paid from the Escrow Fund, the
proportion of Losses for which each Securityholder shall be responsible under
this Article VII shall be based on the Pro Rata Portion for such Securityholder.
     7.3 Maximum Payments; Remedy.
          (a) Except as set forth in Section 7.3(b) hereof, any and all
recoveries for indemnification hereunder shall be limited to the Escrow Fund,
and the maximum amount an Indemnified Party may recover from a Securityholder
individually pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 7.2 hereof for
Losses shall be limited to such Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow
Fund.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, in the event of Losses arising out of (i) a breach of the Specified
Representations, (ii) any covenant of the Company or the Securityholders set
forth on Schedule 7.3(b)(ii) hereof or (iii) any fraud or intentional
misrepresentation of a representation or willful breach of a warranty or a
covenant by any Person (other than Parent and its affiliates) with respect to
any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any
certificates or other instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement (subject
to the terms of Schedule 7.2), each Securityholder shall be liable for (and the
Escrow Fund shall not be the exclusive remedy for) all such Losses but only up
to the full amount of that portion of the Aggregate Consideration Amount
received by such Securityholder, provided, however, that in the case of clauses
(i) or (ii) the Indemnified Parties must first exhaust the full amount of the
Escrow Fund, if available, before pursuing any claims directly against any
Securityholders; and provided further that nothing in this Agreement shall limit
the liability of any Person (including any Securityholder) for any such Losses
if such Person perpetrated such fraud or intentional misrepresentation or
willful breach or had knowledge of the same. In addition, and notwithstanding
the foregoing, the maximum amount the Indemnified Parties may recover from a
Securityholder individually for Losses arising out of a breach of the
representations and warranties in Section 2.11 hereof (under the heading “Tax
Matters”) shall be as set forth on Schedule 7.3(b) (iii) hereof.
          (c) Nothing in this Article VII shall limit the liability of the
Company for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in
this Agreement, any Related Agreements or in any certificates or other
instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement if the Merger does not close.

-68-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties
hereto agree and acknowledge that any Indemnified Party may bring a claim for
indemnification for any Loss under this Article VII notwithstanding the fact
that such Indemnified Party had knowledge of the breach, event or circumstance
giving rise to such Loss prior to the Closing or waived any condition to the
Closing related thereto.
          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing shall
prohibit Parent from seeking and obtaining recourse against the Securityholders,
or any of them, in each case, severally and not jointly to the extent of such
excess, in the event that Parent issues more than the Aggregate Consideration
Amount to which the Securityholders, or any of them, are entitled pursuant to
Article I of this Agreement.
          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no
circumstances shall the Securityholders be liable under this Article VII
(whether out of the Escrow Fund or otherwise) for any Taxes or related Losses
incurred and attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning on
or after the Closing Date.
          (g) Subject to Sections 7.3(b) and 7.3(c), the indemnification
provisions of this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified

the certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to
Section 6.2(aa) or any other certificate delivered by or on behalf of the
Company pursuant to this Agreement.
          (h) Except for those damages that are awarded to a third party upon an
adverse determination of any Third Party Claims in accordance with
Section 7.4(j), in no event shall Losses include any liability for special,
indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of
anticipated profits or loss or diminution of revenues or value, regardless of
the legal theory under which such liability has been asserted, and no party
hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any
such damages.
     7.4 Escrow Arrangements.
          (a) Escrow Fund. By virtue of this Agreement and as partial security
for the indemnity obligations provided for in Section 7.2 hereof, at the
Effective Time, Parent will deposit with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount
without any act of the Securityholders, such deposit of the Escrow Amount to
constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed by the terms set
forth herein. The Escrow Amount shall be available to compensate the Indemnified
Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by
them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VII. The
Escrow Agent may execute this Agreement following the date hereof and prior to
the Closing, and such later execution, if so executed after the date hereof,
shall not affect the binding nature of this Agreement as of the date hereof
between the other signatories hereto.
          (b) Basket Amount.
               (i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, except as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 7.4(b), an
Indemnified Party may not recover any Losses under Section 7.2(a)(i) hereof
unless and until one or more Officer’s Certificates identifying such Losses
under Section 7.2(a)(i) hereof in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate (the
“Basket Amount”) has or have been delivered to the Escrow Agent or the
Shareholder Representative as provided in Section 7.4(f)(ii) hereof, in which
case

-69-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover all Losses so identified as
and when it has been determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification therefor.
               (ii) Parent shall be entitled to recover for, and the Basket
Amount shall not apply as a threshold to, any and all claims or payments made
with respect to all Losses (a) incurred pursuant to clauses (ii) through (ix) of
Section 7.2(a) hereof, (b) arising from a breach of the Specified
Representations, or (c) resulting from the failure of any Securityholder to pay
Agent Interpleader Expenses or Agent Indemnification Expenses pursuant to
clauses (vi) and (vii) of Section 7.4(k) hereof.
          (c) Satisfaction of Claims. Except to the extent that the Losses
resulted from fraud or intentional misrepresentation of any representation or
willful breach of any warranty or covenant committed by the Company (in which
case recovery of such Losses, at the discretion of an Indemnified Party, may
also be pursued directly against a Securityholder in the manner permitted by
Section 7.3(b)) or as otherwise provided in Section 7.3(b), claims by an
Indemnified Party for Losses pursuant to this Agreement shall be satisfied
solely from the Escrow Fund.
          (d) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Period.
Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence
immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., local
time at Parent’s corporate headquarters in California, on the date thirty
(30) days after the Survival Date (the “Escrow Period”), and the Escrow Agent
shall distribute the funds in the Escrow Fund to the Securityholders following
such termination except as set forth below; provided, however, that the Escrow
Fund shall not terminate with respect to any amount in respect of any
unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate (“Unresolved Claims”)
delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Shareholder Representative (or the
Securityholder(s) in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder
directly from such Securityholder(s)) prior to the Escrow Period termination
date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the Survival
Date, and any such amount shall not be distributed to the Securityholders at
such time. As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall
deliver to the Securityholders the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund, if any,
not required to satisfy such Unresolved Claims. Deliveries of the Escrow Amount
out of the Escrow Fund to the Securityholders pursuant to this Section 7.4(d)
shall be made in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portions of the
remaining amounts in the Escrow Fund, with the amount delivered to each
Securityholder rounded to the nearest one hundredth (0.01) of a dollar (with
amounts 0.005 and above rounded up).
          (e) Partial Distribution of Escrow Fund. On the first (1st)
anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall provide the Escrow Agent with
written instructions to deliver to the Securityholders an amount of the Escrow
Fund equal to (x) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Escrow Amount, minus (y) the
aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered
to the Escrow Agent and the Shareholder Representative prior to the first (1st)
anniversary of the Closing Date, in respect to any Loss paid, incurred,
suffered, sustained or accrued prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the
Closing Date and that are Unresolved Claims as of such date or that have been
previously released to Parent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
provided, however, that to the extent any Officer’s Certificate properly
submitted prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date specifies any
Losses in excess of $200,000 relating to Section 2.15 hereof, no funds shall be
released pursuant to this Section. Partial delivery of the Escrow Amount (if
any) pursuant to this Section 7.4(e) shall be made in proportion to each
Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the amount of the Escrow Fund to be
delivered hereunder, with the amount delivered to each Securityholder rounded to
the nearest one hundredth (0.01) of a dollar (with amounts 0.005 and above
rounded up).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (f) Protection of Escrow Fund.
               (i) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund
during the Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund
only in accordance with the terms of this Article VII.
               (ii) The Escrow Amount shall be invested in U.S. Treasury bills
with maturities of not more than 30 days, and any interest paid on such Escrow
Amount shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof. For any
period of time before such U.S. Treasury bills can be purchased by the Escrow
Agent or after such bills mature, the Escrow Amount shall be invested in a U.S.
Bank Money Market account of the Escrow Agent, as fully described on the
attached Exhibit H, and any interest paid on such Escrow Amount shall be added
to the Escrow Fund and shall be distributed as provided in Section 1.8(b)
hereof. The parties hereto agree that Parent is the owner of any cash in the
Escrow Fund, and that all interest on or other taxable income, if any, earned
from the investment of such cash pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for
tax purposes as earned by Parent.
          (g) Claims for Indemnification.
               (i) An Indemnified Party may seek recovery of Losses pursuant to
this Article VII by delivering to the Shareholder Representative (and, in the
case of recovery sought directly from one or more Indemnifying Parties directly,
delivering to such Indemnifying Parties), with a copy simultaneously provided to
the Escrow Agent (in the case of recovery sought from the Escrow Fund), an
Officer’s Certificate in respect of such claim. The date of such delivery of an
Officer’s Certificate is referred to herein as the “Claim Date” of such
Officer’s Certificate (and the claims for indemnification contained therein).
For the purposes hereof, “Officer’s Certificate” shall mean a certificate signed
by any officer of Parent: (1) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid,
sustained, incurred, or properly accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it will
have to pay, sustain, incur, or accrue Losses, and (2) specifying in reasonable
detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date
each such item was paid, sustained, incurred, or properly accrued, or the basis
for such anticipated liability, and, if applicable, the nature of the
misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related.
               (ii) In the event that an Indemnified Party pursues a claim
directly against any Securityholder(s) or any other Person, subject to the
provisions of Section 7.3, Section 7.4(c), Section 7.4(h), and Section 7.4(i)
hereof, each Person from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying
Party”) shall promptly, and in no event later than 30 days after delivery of an
Officer’s Certificate to each such Indemnifying Party, wire transfer to the
Indemnified Party an amount of cash equal to the amount of the Loss.
          (h) Objections to Claims against the Escrow Fund.
               (i) The Shareholder Representative (or, in the case of a claim
directly against one or more Securityholder(s), such Securityholder(s)) may
object to a claim for indemnification set forth in an Officer’s Certificate by
delivering to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification (and, in the case of
a claim against the Escrow Fund, to the Escrow Agent) a written statement of
objection to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate (an “Objection
Notice”), provided that, to be effective, such Objection Notice must be
delivered to the Indemnified Party (and, in the case of a claim for recourse
against the Escrow Fund, to the Escrow Agent) prior to midnight (California
time) on the 30th day following the Claim Date of the Officer’s Certificate
(such deadline, the “Objection Deadline” for such Officer’s Certificate and the
claims for

-71-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

indemnification contained therein). Such Objection Notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in respect of which
the objection is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder
Representative hereby waives the right to object to any claims against the
Escrow Fund in respect of any Agreed-Upon Loss.
               (ii) If the Shareholder Representative (or the Securityholder(s),
in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such
Securityholder(s)) does not object in writing (as provided in Section 7.4(h)(i))
to the claims contained in an Officer’s Certificate prior to the Objection
Deadline for such Officer’s Certificate, such failure to so object shall be an
irrevocable acknowledgment by the Shareholder Representative and the
Securityholder(s) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of
the claims for Losses set forth in such Officer’s Certificate (and such
entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established).
          (i) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
               (i) In case the Shareholder Representative or any Company
Securityholder (as applicable, the "Objecting Party”) delivers an Objection
Notice in accordance with Section 7.4(h) hereof (other than in connection with
Agreed-Upon Losses as defined in Section 7.4(i)(v) hereof, for which the
Shareholder Representative has waived the right to object), the Objecting Party
and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the
respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Objecting Party
and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be
prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the
Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow
Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
               (ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith
negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after delivery of an Objection Notice,
either Parent or the Objecting Party may demand arbitration of the matter unless
the amount of the Loss that is at issue is the subject of a pending Third Party
Claim, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is
ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the
matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually
agreeable to Parent and the Objecting Party. In the event that, within thirty
(30) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the
Objecting Party cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within fifteen
(15) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, Parent and the Objecting
Party shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall
select a third arbitrator. If the Objecting Party fails to select an arbitrator
during this fifteen (15) day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration
will be conducted by one arbitrator selected by Parent.
               (iii) Any such arbitration shall be held in Santa Clara County,
California, under the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS/Endispute
(“JAMS”). The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the
arbitration shall be paid, including the respective expenses of each party, the
fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of JAMS. The arbitrator or
arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish
procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the
parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or
majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant
information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute.
The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be,
shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the
authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same
extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a
majority of

-72-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought
without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to
without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority
of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of
any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be final, binding, and conclusive
upon the parties to this Agreement and the Securityholders. Such decision shall
be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions
which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the
arbitrator(s), and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and make
distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with, the terms of such award,
judgment, decree or order as applicable. Within 30 days of a decision of the
arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make
the payment to such other party, including any distributions out of the Escrow
Fund, as applicable.
               (iv) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as set forth in
Section 7.4(i)(v) hereof, the forgoing arbitration provision shall apply to any
dispute among the Securityholders or any Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Parties under this Article VII hereof, whether relating to claims upon the
Escrow Fund or to the other indemnification obligations set forth in this
Article VII.
               (v) This Section 7.4(i) shall not apply to claims against the
Escrow Fund made in respect of (A) any Dissenting Share Payments, (B) the Excess
Third Party Expenses Indemnification Amount, if any, and (C) any Agent
Interpleader Expenses or Agent Indemnification Expenses pursuant to clauses
(vi) and (vii) of Section 7.4(k) hereof (each of (A), (B), (C) and (D), an
“Agreed-Upon Loss”). Claims against the Escrow Fund made in respect of any
Agreed-Upon Loss shall be resolved in the manner described in Section 7.4(h)
hereof.
          (j) Third-Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third
party claim (other than a claim that is the subject of an Agreed-Upon Loss) (a
“Third Party Claim”) which Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand
against the Escrow Fund or for other indemnification pursuant to this
Article VII (including for this purpose a third party audit, inquiry or
proceeding with respect to Taxes that would be subject of an indemnity claim
hereunder), Parent shall notify the Shareholder Representative of such claim,
and the Shareholder Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the
Securityholders, at their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or
conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim. Parent shall have the right in
its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim;
provided, however, that except with the consent of the Shareholder
Representative, no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party
claimants shall be determinative of the Securityholders’ responsibility for any
such Losses or the amount of Losses relating to such matter. In the event that
the Shareholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the
Securityholders shall have no power or authority to object under any provision
of this Article VII to the amount of any Third Party Claim by Parent against the
Escrow Fund, or against the Securityholders directly, as the case may be, with
respect to such settlement. If there is a Third Party Claim that, if adversely
determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses hereunder, then any
amounts incurred or accrued by the Indemnified Parties in defense of such Third
Party Claim, regardless of the outcome of such claim, shall be deemed Losses
hereunder, except that with respect to the matters set forth on Schedule 7.4(j)
hereto, amounts incurred in defense and any damages finally awarded will only be
deemed to be Losses to the extent that the Third Party Claim is adversely
determined. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this
Section 7.4(j) shall not apply to any Third Party Claim that is the subject of
an Agreed-Upon Loss.

-73-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (k) Escrow Agent’s Duties.
               (i) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance
of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and as set forth in any
additional written escrow instructions which the Escrow Agent may receive after
the date of this Agreement which are signed by an officer of Parent and the
Shareholder Representative, and may rely and shall be protected in relying or
refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow
Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Escrow Agent
while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any
act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive
evidence of such good faith.
               (ii) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard
any and all warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other Person,
excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and is hereby expressly
authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court,
awards of arbitrators and written instructions of Parent and the Shareholder
Representative. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order,
judgment or decree of any court, award of arbitrator or instructions, the Escrow
Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other Person by
reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment, decree or
award being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or
found to have been entered without jurisdiction.
               (iii) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on
account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or
delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents
or papers deposited or called for hereunder.
               (iv) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of
any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or
any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.
               (v) In performing any duties under this Agreement, the Escrow
Agent shall not be liable to any party for damages, losses, or expenses, except
for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent. The
Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability for (A) any act or failure to
act made or omitted in good faith, or (B) any action taken or omitted in
reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement or affidavit
provided for in this Agreement that the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe
to be genuine, nor will the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible for forgeries,
fraud, impersonations, or determining the scope of any representative authority.
In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel in connection with
performing the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and shall be fully
protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by the Escrow Agent in good
faith in accordance with the advice of counsel. The Escrow Agent is not
responsible for determining and verifying the authority of any person acting or
purporting to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement.
               (vi) If any controversy arises between the parties to this
Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this
Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to
determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent
may hold all documents and the Escrow Amount and may wait for settlement of any
such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in
the Escrow Agent’s discretion, may be required, despite what may be set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement. In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable
for damages. Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may at its option file an action of
interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights
among themselves. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit

-74-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

with the clerk of the court all documents and the Escrow Amounts held in escrow,
except all costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the
Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action (the “Agent Interpleader Expenses”)
and which the parties agree to pay as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50%
to be paid by the Securityholders on the basis of the Securityholders’
respective Pro Rata Portions; provided, however, that in the event any
Securityholder fails to timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Agent
Interpleader Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such
Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses and recover
an equal amount (which shall be deemed an Agreed-Upon Loss) from such
Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund. Upon initiating such
action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all
obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.
               (vii) The parties and their respective successors and assigns
agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses,
including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, including allocated
costs of in-house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on Escrow Agent
or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of the Escrow
Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including any litigation arising from this
Agreement or involving its subject matter, other than those arising out of the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent (the “Agent Indemnification
Expenses”) as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the
Securityholders on the basis of the Securityholders’ respective Pro Rata
Portions; provided, however, that in the event any Securityholder fails to
timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses,
the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Securityholder’s Pro
Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses and recover an equal amount
(which shall be deemed an Agreed-Upon Loss) from such Securityholder’s Pro Rata
Portion of the Escrow Fund.
               (viii) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at
least 30 days written notice to the Parent and the Shareholder Representative;
provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the
appointment of a successor escrow agent which shall be accomplished as follows:
Parent and the Shareholder Representative shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to mutually agree on a successor escrow agent within 30 days
after receiving such notice. If the parties fail to agree upon a successor
escrow agent within such time, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint
a successor escrow agent authorized to do business in the State of California.
The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting
such appointment and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the
estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent
as if originally named as escrow agent. Upon appointment of a successor escrow
agent, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and
liability under this Agreement.
          (l) Fees. All fees of the Escrow Agent for performance of its duties
hereunder shall be paid by Parent in accordance with the standard fee schedule
of the Escrow Agent. It is understood that the fees and usual charges agreed
upon for services of the Escrow Agent shall be considered compensation for
ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the
conditions of this Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, or if the Escrow Agent
renders any service not provided for in this Agreement but that has been
requested by an officer of Parent, or if the parties request a substantial
modification of the terms of the Agreement, or if any controversy arises, or if
the Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining
to the Escrow Fund or its subject matter, the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably
compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs,
attorney’s fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel, and expenses
occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation.

-75-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (m) Successor Escrow Agents. Any corporation into which the Escrow
Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity shall be a
party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred,
shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.
     7.5 Shareholder Representative. 
          (a) By virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the
Shareholders, each of the Securityholders shall be deemed to have agreed to
appoint Robert Headley as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Shareholder
Representative for and on behalf of the Securityholders to give and receive
notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from
the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to
such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises
of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of
arbitrators with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into
settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of
courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any other claim by any
Indemnified Party against any Securityholder or by any such Securityholder
against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and
any such Securityholder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either
(i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder Representative
for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the
terms of this Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Securityholders from
time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent;
provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative may not be removed unless
holders of a two-thirds interest of the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to
the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy
in the position of Shareholder Representative may be filled by the holders of a
majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the
Shareholder Representative, and the Shareholder Representative shall not receive
any compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the
Shareholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the
Securityholders.
          (b) The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable for any act
done or omitted hereunder as Shareholder Representative while acting in good
faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Securityholders on whose
behalf the Escrow Amount was contributed to the Escrow Fund shall indemnify the
Shareholder Representative and hold the Shareholder Representative harmless
against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad
faith on the part of the Shareholder Representative and arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of the Shareholder
Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
any legal counsel retained by the Shareholder Representative (“Shareholder
Representative Expenses”). Following the termination of the Escrow Period, the
resolution of all Unresolved Claims and the satisfaction of all claims made by
Indemnified Parties for Losses, the Shareholder Representative shall have the
right to recover Shareholder Representative Expenses from the Escrow Fund prior
to any distribution to the Securityholders, and prior to any such distribution,
shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate setting forth the Shareholder
Representative Expenses actually incurred. To the extent that the amount of
funds in the Escrow Fund (after resolution of all Unresolved Claims and the
satisfaction of all claims for Losses) is insufficient to reimburse the
Shareholder Representative for all Shareholder Representative Expenses, each
Securityholder agrees to reimburse the Shareholder Representative promptly on
demand in proportion to its Pro Rata Portion for any Shareholder Representative
Expenses that are not so paid to the Shareholder Representative out of the
Escrow Fund. A

-76-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative,
including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.3 and Section 8.4 hereof, shall constitute a decision of the
Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the
Securityholders; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such
decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representative as being
the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders. The Escrow
Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any
acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction
of the Shareholder Representative.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
     8.1 Termination.  Subject to Section 8.2 hereof, this Agreement may be
terminated and the Merger abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:
          (a) by mutual agreement of the Company and Parent;
          (b) by Parent or the Company if the Closing Date shall not have
occurred by July 1, 2008; provided, however, that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose
action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the
failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure
to act constitutes breach of this Agreement;
          (c) by Parent or the Company if any Governmental Entity shall have
enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any statute, rule, regulation,
executive order, decree, injunction, order or other legal restraint which is in
effect and which has the effect of making the Merger illegal;
          (d) by Parent if there shall be any action taken, or any statute,
rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to
the Merger by any Governmental Entity, which would constitute an Action of
Divestiture;
          (e) by Parent if it is not in material breach of its obligations under
this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement such that the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) hereof would not be satisfied and such
breach has not been cured within ten (10) calendar days after written notice
thereof to the Company; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required
for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured; or
          (f) by the Company if the Company is not in material breach of its
obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent contained in this
Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) hereof would not
be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within ten (10) calendar days
after written notice thereof to Parent; provided, however, that no cure period
shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured.
     8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as
provided in Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and
there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, the Company, or
its respective officers, directors or shareholders, if applicable; provided,
however, that each party hereto and each Person shall remain liable for any
breaches of this Agreement, Related Agreements or in any certificate or other
instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement prior to its

-77-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

termination; and provided further, however, that the provisions of
Sections 4.2(c), 5.2, 5.3, 5.19 and 7.3(c) hereof, Article IX hereof and this
Section 8.2 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of
this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII.
     8.3 Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any
time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party
against whom enforcement is sought. For purposes of this Section 8.3, the
Securityholders agree that any amendment of this Agreement signed by the
Shareholder Representative shall be binding upon and effective against the
Securityholders whether or not they have signed such amendment.
     8.4 Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Closing, Parent, on the
one hand, and the Company and the Shareholder Representative, on the other hand,
may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of
any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in
the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any
document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the
covenants, agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained
herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or
waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on
behalf of such party. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the Securityholders
agree that any extension or waiver signed by the Shareholder Representative
shall be binding upon and effective against all Securityholders whether or not
they have signed such extension or waiver.
     8.5 U.S. PATRIOT Act Compliance.  To help the government fight the funding
of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial
institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each
person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business
entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity the Escrow Agent will ask for
documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The
Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification
and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the
entity or other relevant documentation. The parties each agree to provide all
such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent
to ensure compliance with federal law.
