AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 9, 2015 by and among Select Comfort Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), SCC Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), BAM Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company solely in its capacity as stockholder representative (the “Stockholder Representative”).  All capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the boards of directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of each corporation and their respective stockholders that Parent acquire the Company through the statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, pursuant to which the Company would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, and in furtherance thereof, have approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements (the “Transactions”).
WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, as more fully set forth herein, in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions.
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 hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1    The Merger.     At the Effective Time (as defined below), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.”  
1.2    Closing and Effective Times.
(a)    Unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Merger shall be consummated at a closing (the “Closing”) on a date that is within two (2) Business Days following satisfaction or waiver (if permissible hereunder) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver (if permissible hereunder) of those conditions), at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, 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.”









(b)    Effective Time.  On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law.  The time of the filing and acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such other later time as may be agreed in writing by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”
1.3    Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and Surviving Entity.
(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 Merger 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 Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is SleepIQ LABS Inc.”
(b)    Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.
1.4    Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation and Surviving Entity.
(a)    Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of Merger 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 his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.
(b)    Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
1.5    General Effects of the Merger.  At the Effective Time, the effects of the Merger shall be 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 Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.  
1.6    Effect of Merger on Capital Stock of Constituent Corporations.
(a)    Merger Sub Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the respective stockholders thereof, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Company Common Stock (and the shares of the Company into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Company’s capital stock that are issued and 

-2-






outstanding immediately after the Effective Time).  Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub capital stock will evidence ownership of such shares of Company Common Stock.
(b)    Company Capital Stock. 
(i)      Generally.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the respective stockholders thereof, each share of Company Capital Stock (excluding (A) Cancelled Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.6(b)(ii), and (B) Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.6(b)(iii)) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon the terms set forth in this Section 1.6(b)(i) and throughout this Agreement (including the escrow provisions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement) and surrender of the certificate representing such shares of Company Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.7, the Per Share Consideration; provided, however, that the aggregate payment amount payable pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(i) shall not exceed the amount of the Total Consideration; provided, further, that (i) 10% of that portion of the Total Consideration that otherwise would be payable at the Closing to the Stockholders (other than Parent) pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(i) shall be withheld at the Closing from the amount of cash payable to each such Stockholder and deposited into the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 1.7(b), which cash shall be distributed to the former holders of such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) $250,000 shall be withheld and placed in the Expense Fund pursuant to Sections 1.7(c) and 7.6.  For purposes of calculating the amount of cash payable to each Stockholder in respect of their shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(i), all shares of Company Capital Stock held by each Stockholder shall be aggregated on a certificate-by-certificate (or like instrument) basis.  
(ii)       Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the respective stockholders thereof, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and each share of Company Capital Stock held by Parent or its controlled Affiliates (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in respect thereof.
(iii)         Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and with respect to which the holder thereof has properly demanded appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law and Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law (the “CGCL”), and who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal or dissenters’ rights under Delaware Law or, if applicable, the CGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.6(b)(i), but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by Delaware Law or, if applicable, the CGCL.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.6(b)(iii), 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 or, if applicable, the CGCL, 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, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares, upon the terms set forth in this Section 1.6(b)(iii) and throughout this Agreement (including the escrow holdback, expense fund and indemnification provisions of this Agreement), the consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.6(b)(i), without interest 

-3-






thereon.  The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law or, if applicable, the CGCL and (B) 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.  Any communication to be made by the Company to any Stockholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any Stockholder prior to the Company receiving Parent’s written consent.
(c)    Company Options.
(i)    Company Options.
(A)    Vested Company Options.  Effective as of the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.6(c)(i)(A) and throughout this Agreement and in consideration of such cancellation, the Per Option Consideration.  Promptly following the Closing, Parent shall pay (or cause to be paid) the Per Option Consideration, less applicable withholdings, in respect of such Vested Company Options; provided, however, that 10% of that portion of the cash amount that otherwise would be payable at the Closing to each Vested Company Optionholder shall be withheld at the Closing from the amount of cash payable to each such Vested Company Optionholder and deposited into the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 1.7(b), which cash amount will be distributed to the former holders of such Vested Company Options in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(B)    Unvested Company Options Held by Continuing Employees.  Effective as of the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Continuing Employee shall be cancelled without the payment of any consideration therefor.  
(C)    Unvested Company Options Held by Non-Continuing Employees.  Effective as of the Effective Time, each Unvested Company Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Non-Continuing Employee shall be cancelled without the payment of any consideration therefor.
1.7    Payment of Merger Consideration for Company Capital Stock.
(a)    Paying Agent.  U.S. Bank National Association, or another Person selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company, shall serve as the Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the Merger.
(b)    Escrow Amount.  On the Closing Date, Parent shall transfer or cause to be transferred to the Escrow Agent an amount of cash equal to the Escrow Amount, to be held in trust as an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) under the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(c)    Expense Fund.  On the Closing Date, Parent shall transfer or cause to be transferred to a segregated client bank account maintained by the Stockholder Representative an amount of cash equal to the amount of the Expense Fund to be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  

-4-






(d)    Exchange Procedures.  Prior to Closing, the Company shall provide to each Stockholder a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Letter of Transmittal”).  If a Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and a certificate representing shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Company Stock Certificates”) is properly surrendered to Parent or the Paying Agent not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then Parent shall cause its transfer agent to issue to the holder of such Company Stock Certificate that portion of the Total Consideration issuable in respect thereto pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after the Closing Date, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled.  If a Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and a Company Stock Certificate is properly surrendered to Parent or the Paying Agent at any time later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then Parent shall cause its transfer agent to issue to the holder of such Company Stock Certificate that portion of the Total Consideration issuable in respect thereto pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i) no later than three (3) Business Days following such surrender, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled.  No portion of the Total Consideration will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby until the holder of record of such Company Stock Certificate shall surrender such Company Stock Certificate and validly executed Paying Agent documents pursuant hereto.
(e)    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  In the event any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent or Parent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the portion of the Total Consideration, if any, payable in respect thereto pursuant to Section 1.6(b) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion, or as required by the Paying Agent, and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Stockholder who is the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to provide an indemnification agreement (without the requirement of posting a bond) in a form and substance acceptable to Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(f)    No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock.  The cash paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company or the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.
(g)    No Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation, or any party hereto shall be liable to a Stockholder for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
1.8    Withholding Taxes.  The Company, the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, local or foreign tax law or under any Legal Requirements or applicable Orders.  To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity and treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.9    Taking of Further Action.  If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, or to vest Parent with full right, title and possession to all of the Company Capital Stock, then each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the officers and directors of each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.
ARTICLE II

2.1    Organization and Good Standing.  (a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  The Company has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its business as currently conducted.

The Company has Made Available true, correct and complete copies of its certificate of incorporation, as amended to date (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and bylaws, as amended to date, each in full force and effect on the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Charter Documents”).

2.2    Authority and Enforceability. The Company has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and any Related Agreements to which it is a party and, subject to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Related Agreements to which the Company is a party and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company (including the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Requisite Board Approval”)) and no further corporate or other action is required on the part of the Company to authorize this Agreement and any Related Agreements to which the Company is a party or to consummate the Merger or any other Transactions, other than the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Stockholders of the Company who hold (a) at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock, voting together as a single class on an as converted into Company Common Stock basis, (b) at least a majority of the voting

power of the Company Common Stock, voting together as a single class, and (c) at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class (clauses (a), (b) and (c), collectively, the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”).  The Requisite Stockholder Approval is the only vote of the Stockholders required under applicable Legal Requirements, Delaware Law, the CGCL, the Charter Documents and all Contracts to which the Company is a party to legally adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and the other Transactions.  The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, and recommended to the Stockholders to vote in favor of adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other Transactions (the “Company Recommendation”).  This Agreement and each of the Related Agreements to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto, constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to (x) Legal Requirements of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, the relief of debtors and enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and (y) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, other equitable remedies and other general principles of equity (clauses (x) and (y) collectively, the “Enforceability Limitations”).
2.3    Governmental Approvals and Consents.

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent that a Stockholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G and the regulations promulgated thereunder and that (i) the requisite Stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the Stockholder vote (the “280G Approval”), or (ii) that the 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided, pursuant to the 280G Waivers, which were executed by the affected individuals on the date of this Agreement.

The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of:  (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would cause any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at or prior to the Effective Time and that would cause any condition set forth in Article VI not to be met, and (b) any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder that would cause any condition set forth in Article VI not to be met; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not (i) limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the party receiving such notice, or (ii) constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach of this Agreement; and provided, further that the failure to deliver a notice pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not be considered in determining whether the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) has been satisfied.

If the Merger is consummated, then until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its present and former directors and officers (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to indemnification agreements with the Company in effect on the Closing Date and pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents, in each case, in effect as of the date of this Agreement, with respect to claims arising out of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time which are asserted after the Effective Time.

ARTICLE VII
POST-CLOSING INDEMNIFICATION
7.1    Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement or in the Officer’s Certificate shall survive until 11:59 p.m. California time on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the date of expiration of such period, the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, (i) the representations and warranties of the Company as set forth in Section 2.1(a) (Organization and Good Standing), Section 2.2 (Authority and Enforceability), Section 2.5 (Company Capital Structure) and the Spreadsheet Certificate (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), and Section 2.10 (Tax Matters) (together with the Fundamental Representations, the “Special Representations”) shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations in respect of the matters addressed by such representations and warranties (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive), and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2.13 (Intellectual Property) (the “IP Representations”) shall survive for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing; and provided, further, that all representations and warranties of the Company shall survive beyond the Expiration Date or other survival periods specified above with respect to any inaccuracy therein or breach thereof if a claim is made hereunder prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation and warranty, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.  The representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Article III of this Agreement, the Related Agreements or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties 

-45-






hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.
7.2    Indemnification.
(a)    From and after and by virtue of the Merger, subject to the terms of this Article VII, the Stockholders (with the exception of Parent) and the Vested Company Optionholders (each, an “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) agree to severally (based on such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion), but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its officers, directors, affiliates and employees, including the Surviving Corporation (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, interest, awards, judgments, penalties and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and including any such reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any of the foregoing (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them (including the Surviving Corporation) (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claims), directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, or relating to any of the following:
(i)    any breach of or inaccuracy in, as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Effective Time, a representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the Officer’s Certificate, without giving effect to any update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date of this Agreement;
(ii)    any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement;
(iii) any payment 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; and
(iv)    any inaccuracy or omission in the Spreadsheet, including any amounts set forth therein that are paid to a Person in excess of the amounts that such Person is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any amounts that a Person was entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that were omitted from the Spreadsheet, including any failure to properly calculate Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Third Party Expenses, the Per Share Consideration, the Per Option Consideration or the Total Consideration.
(b)    The Indemnifying Parties (including any officer or director of the Company) shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Surviving Corporation or Parent with respect to any Loss claimed by an Indemnified Party.
(c)    Any payments made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article VII will be treated as adjustments to the Total Consideration for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.
(d)    The indemnification rights set forth in this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Effective Time for any claims relating to this Agreement or any matters relating to the transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit any Person’s rights or obligations under any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, including claims of any inaccuracy in or breach of any 

-46-






representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) this Section 7.2(d) shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party (and this Article VII shall not be the sole and exclusive remedy in respect of such Indemnifying Party) in connection with claims based on fraud committed by such Indemnifying Party regardless of the capacity in which such Indemnifying Party committed such fraud.
(e)    Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or any other Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under any Related Agreement against the parties thereto.
(f)    Parent and Merger Sub each hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent set forth in Article II, neither the Company nor any Indemnifying Party has made any representations or warranties with respect to the Company or its business and neither Parent nor Merger Sub has relied or will rely upon any information, representation or warranty, except those representations and warranties set forth in Article II hereof in executing, delivering and performing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  
7.3    Limitations on Indemnification.
(a)    Threshold.  Subject to Section 9.10(d), the Indemnified Parties, as a group, may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 7.2 unless and until the Indemnified Parties, as a group, shall have paid, incurred, suffered or sustained at least $500,000 in Losses in the aggregate (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all such Losses, including such amounts as comprised any portion of such Threshold Amount.  
(b)    Recovery from Escrow Fund.
(i)    Subject to Section 9.10(d) and except in the case of claims for breaches of or inaccuracies in the Special Representations or the IP Representations, and indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(iii) and 7.2(a)(iv), until the Expiration Date, the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification claims under this Agreement shall be recourse against the Escrow Fund.
(ii)  Subject to Section 9.10(d), the Indemnified Parties’ first source of recovery for indemnification claims under this Agreement shall be recourse against the Escrow Fund, but if the Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy the Indemnifying Parties’ Pro Rata Portion of any Loss for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII, subject to the limitation of this Article VII, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover the Indemnifying Parties’ Pro Rata Portion of such Losses in respect of such indemnification claims directly from the Indemnifying Parties (the Indemnifying Parties’ Pro Rata Portion of any Loss for which indemnification is not satisfied by the Escrow Fund is referred to as an “Excess Loss”).  
(c)    Subject to Section 9.10(d), the maximum amount that the Indemnified Parties may recover for indemnification claims from any Indemnifying Party under Section 7.2(a)(i) for breaches of or inaccuracies in the IP Representations shall be limited to a dollar amount equal to 20% of the aggregate amount of cash actually received by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i) and Section 1.6(c)(i)(A) in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Options owned by such Indemnifying Party as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

-47-






(d)    Subject to Section 9.10(d), the maximum amount that the Indemnified Parties may recover for any indemnification claims from any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall not exceed such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Losses in respect of such indemnification claim.
(e)    Subject to Section 9.10(d), the maximum amount that the Indemnified Parties may recover for indemnification claims under this Agreement shall be limited to a dollar amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash actually received by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i) and Section 1.6(c)(i)(A) in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Options owned by such Indemnifying Party as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(f)    Subject to Section 9.10(d), in the case of any indemnification claim under Sections 7.2(a) that is not limited to the recovery of funds from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 7.3(b), subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to bring indemnification claims against any or all of the Indemnifying Parties for each such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the Excess Losses, and each Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for its, his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Excess Losses in respect of such indemnification claim.
(g)    The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses or any other remedy under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other matter.  The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.  No Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.2(a).
(h)    If an Indemnified Party’s claim under this Article VII may be brought under different subsections of Section 7.2(a), then such Indemnified Party shall have the right to bring such claim under any applicable section it chooses in accordance with this Article VII.  For the avoidance of doubt, if and solely to the extent the amount of any Loss is recovered by an Indemnified Party, the same amount of such Loss may not be recovered again by such Indemnified Party.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) all Losses shall be calculated after giving effect to any proceeds that have been recovered by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) from a third party or under any policy of insurance after deducting from such proceeds any increase in the future in any insurance premium due to such claim, provided that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such payments or to obtain or maintain any such insurance policies; and (ii) no Indemnifying Party will have any liability for any Loss that: (A) is otherwise accurately accounted for in the calculation of any of the components of the Total Consideration; or (B) represents or constitutes punitive or exemplary damages (except, in each case, to the extent that a third party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment therefor).
(j)    Any indemnification hereunder for Losses with respect to a breach of the representations in Section 2.10, other than with respect to a breach of any representation or warranty set 

-48-






forth in Sections 2.10(e), (f), (g), (j), (k), (m), (n) and (r), shall be limited to Taxes arising in or attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.
(k)    For purpose of this Article VII only, solely when determining the amount of Losses suffered (but not whether a breach, inaccuracy or failure has occurred) by an Indemnified Party as a result of any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty or any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it that is qualified or limited in scope as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or Knowledge, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be deemed to be made without such qualification or limitation.  
7.4    Indemnification Claim Procedures.
(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1, if an Indemnified Party wishes to make an indemnification claim under this Article VII, such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Stockholder Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) (or in the event an Indemnified Party elects to pursue such indemnification claim directly against an Indemnifying Party, to such Indemnifying Party directly) (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain Losses, and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses, the date each such item was paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, 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.  Parent may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any new information discovered with respect to the claim set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.
(b)    If the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties (or the Indemnifying Party in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) shall not object in writing within the 30-day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (an “Indemnification Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties (or the applicable Indemnifying Party) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.  In such event, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Escrow Fund cash equal to the Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.
(c)    In the event that the Stockholder Representative (or in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party) shall deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.4(b) within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Indemnification Claim Notice, the Stockholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying 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 Stockholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying 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 an indemnification claim to be recovered from 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.  In such event, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Escrow Fund an amount of cash equal to the Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.  Should the amount held in the Escrow Fund, if any, be insufficient to satisfy in whole the amount owed to an Indemnified Party in accordance with such memorandum and this Agreement, then subject to the limitations in this Article VII, each Indemnifying Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such 

-49-






memorandum, pay to the Indemnified Party such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of such shortfall in cash.
(d)    If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after delivery of an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative (or the objecting Indemnifying Party) shall be settled by arbitration conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.15.
7.5    Third Party Claims.
(a)    If a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a Person who is not a party or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against any Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article VII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative of such claims; provided that the failure to so notify the Stockholder Representative shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties is materially prejudiced thereby.  Such notice shall identify specifically the basis under which indemnification is sought under this Agreement and enclose true and correct copies of any written document furnished to the Indemnified Party by the Person that instituted the Third Party Claim.  The Indemnified Party shall assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel of reputable standing and the Indemnified Party’s reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with such defense will be borne by the Indemnifying Parties subject to the limitations in this Article VII; provided that  the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to consult with the Indemnified Party in such settlement or defense.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any Third Party Claim, provided that the Indemnified Party shall consult with the Stockholder Representative prior to making any such payment or settlement; provided, further, that any such payment or settlement shall not be determinative of the existence, or amount, of any Losses recoverable by the Indemnified Parties from the Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement.  If the Indemnified Party fails to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim in accordance with the foregoing, then the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to assume the defense thereof upon written notice to the Indemnified Party. If the Stockholder Representative shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Stockholder Representative shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such Third Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim or consent to entry of any judgment.  
(b)    All of the parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation (or a duly authorized representative of such party) shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.   
7.6    Stockholder Representative.
(a)    By virtue of the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement, and the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Stockholders, each of the Indemnifying Parties shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Shareholder Representative Services LLC as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Stockholder Representative for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, including without limitation to give and receive notices and communications in respect of indemnification claims under this Agreement to be 

-50-






recovered against the Escrow Fund, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any indemnification claims hereunder 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 any such indemnification 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 such indemnification claim by any Indemnified Party hereunder against any Indemnifying Party or by any such Indemnifying Party against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Indemnifying Party, in each case relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated or permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Stockholder Representative shall not have the authority to enter into any settlement or compromise or otherwise agree to any claims to the extent that such claim involves Excess Loss (the “Authority Limitation”).  Such agency may be changed by the Stockholders from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a resignation of the Stockholder Representative or other vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative, such vacancy may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund.  No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative.  After the Closing, notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Indemnifying Parties.
(b)    The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Indemnifying Parties on whose behalf the Escrow Amount was contributed to the Escrow Fund shall indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholder Representative and any amounts required to be paid by the Stockholder Representative to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (“Stockholder Representative Expenses”).  If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, any such Stockholder Representative Expenses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) first, the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) then, to the extent the funds in the Expense Fund are insufficient, the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Indemnifying Parties.  For the avoidance of doubt, while this Section 7.6(b) allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund and the Escrow Fund following the Expiration Date and the resolution of all indemnification claims made under this Agreement and the satisfaction of all such indemnification claims, this Section 7.6(b) shall not limit the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to promptly pay such Stockholder Representative Expenses as they are incurred.  In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or otherwise. The Indemnifying Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, shall constitute a decision of the Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Indemnifying Parties; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Indemnifying Parties.  The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person 

-51-






for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.
(c)    Upon the Closing, Parent shall wire to a segregated client bank account maintained by the Stockholder Representative, an amount equal to US$250,000 (the “Expense Fund”), and each Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have contributed his Pro Rata Portion of the Expense Fund.  The Stockholder Representative shall hold the Expense Fund in accordance with this Agreement on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties as a fund which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholder Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement.  The Indemnifying Parties shall not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings.  The Stockholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.  The Stockholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy.  Contemporaneously with or as soon as practicable following the release in full of the Escrow Fund, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver the balance of the Expense Fund to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.  For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Indemnifying Parties at the time of Closing.
(d)    The Escrow Fund shall be held and disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto (the “Escrow Agreement”), and shall be entered into at the Effective Time, by and among Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Fund shall be deemed deducted on a pro rata basis from the consideration each of the Stockholders would otherwise have been entitled to receive as part of the consideration for their shares of Company Capital Stock at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i), and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.  The Escrow Fund shall be held in trust and shall not be subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party.  Approval of this Agreement and the Merger by the Stockholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including without limitation the placement of the Escrow Fund in escrow, and the approval of the appointment of the Stockholder Representative.

Except as required by Legal Requirements, neither the Company nor any of its Representatives shall issue any statement or communication to any third party (other than its agents that are bound by confidentiality restrictions) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the Transactions, including, if applicable, the termination of this Agreement and the reasons therefor, without the consent of Parent.

(a)    The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other party or parties hereto of any covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth in this Agreement, (i) each party shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it), to a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other agreement and an injunction preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach, and (ii) no party hereto shall be 

-55-






required to provide or post any bond or other security or collateral in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or legal proceeding.
(b)    Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred herein upon a party hereto shall be deemed to be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or in equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in ýArticle VII or Section 2.28, shall be deemed a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which such party may have at law or in equity against any other Person for such Person’s fraudulent acts or omissions with respect to such Person’s representations and warranties in this Agreement, nor will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit (i) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any such claim for fraud, (ii) the time period during which a claim for fraud may be brought or (iii) the recourse which any such party may seek against such Person who committed such fraudulent act or omission with respect to a claim for fraud; provided, however, that no Indemnifying Party would be liable for Losses in excess of such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion of the amount of Losses in respect of such claim or of the aggregate amount of cash actually received by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i) and Section 1.6(c)(i)(A) in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock and Company Options owned by such Indemnifying Party as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case, for any action arising out of fraudulent acts or omissions committed by any Person other than such Indemnifying Party.

Subject to Section 7.4(d) and Section 9.15, each party agrees not to commence any legal proceedings related hereto except in such Courts of Santa Clara County in the State of California (or, only if the Courts of Santa Clara County in the State of 

-56-






California declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in any federal court within Santa Clara County in the State of California).  By execution and delivery of this Agreement, subject to Section 7.4(d) and Section 9.15, each party hereto and the Indemnifying Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to the appellate courts therefrom solely for the purposes of disputes arising under the this Agreement and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever.  The parties hereto and the Indemnifying Parties irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder.  Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. 
9.15    Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.  Any claim or dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the interpretation, making, performance, breach or termination thereof, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in the County of Santa Clara, California in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in any judicial proceeding instituted to resolve a dispute.
(a)    Selection of Arbitrators.  Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator chosen by mutual agreement of (i) if the Closing has not occurred, Parent and the Company and (ii) if the Closing has occurred, Parent and the Stockholder Representative.  Alternatively, at the request of either party before the commencement of arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by three independent arbitrators, none of whom shall have any competitive interests with Parent, the Company, the Stockholder Representative or an Indemnifying Party.  Parent and Stockholder Representative shall each select one arbitrator.  The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator.
(b)    Discovery.  In any arbitration under this Section 9.15, each party shall be limited to calling a total of three witnesses both for purposes of deposition and the arbitration hearing.  Subject to the foregoing limitation on the number of witnesses, 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 for discovery abuses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification.
(c)    Decision.  The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to any claim or dispute (including the validity and amount of any indemnification claim set forth in an Indemnification Claim Notice) shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement.  Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment or Order awarded by the arbitrator(s).  Within thirty (30) days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party, including any distributions out of the Escrow Fund, as applicable.
(d)    Other Relief.  The parties to the arbitration may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim or conservatory 

-57-






relief, as necessary, without breach of this arbitration provision and without abridgement of the powers of the arbitrator(s).
(e)    Costs and Expenses.  The parties agree that each party (and in the case of the Stockholder Representative, the Indemnifying Parties as provided in this Agreement) shall pay its own costs and expenses (including counsel fees) of any such arbitration, and each party waives its right to seek an order compelling the other party to pay its portion of its costs and expenses (including counsel fees) for any arbitration.
9.16    USA 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.
9.17    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.  The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
