                    (iii) It is expressly agreed that the holders of the Target Preferred Stock shall have no obligation to indemnify the Acquiror Indemnified Persons.
               (c) Limitations. No claim for any Damages asserted under Section 6.2(b)(i) with respect to an inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be made by an Acquiror Indemnified Person until the aggregate amount of all Damages with respect to such claims exceeds $50,000 (the “Limitation”), in which event such Acquiror Indemnified Person shall be permitted to make claims under this Section 6 for all such Damages, including those constituting the Limitation.

The Acquiror Indemnified Person shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of the commencement of any such proceeding against such Acquiror Indemnified Person; provided, that any failure on the part of the Acquiror Indemnified Person to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 6 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such proceeding). If the Acquiror Indemnified Person does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party may proceed with the defense of such claim or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiror Indemnified Person; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Acquiror Indemnified Person (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The Escrow Period shall terminate upon the Initial Termination Date; provided, that a portion of the Escrow Fund that, in the reasonable judgment of Acquiror subject to the objection of the Shareholders’ Agent and the subsequent arbitration of the matter in the manner provided in Section 6.6 hereto, is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to termination of the Escrow Period shall remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims have been resolved.
               (b) Release. Within three Business Days after the Initial Termination Date (the “Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall release from escrow to the holders of Target Preferred Stock and Target Common Stock their aggregate balance of the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Funds shall be determined by deducting from the Escrow Fund, all amounts paid to Acquiror for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 and all amounts to be held in the Escrow Fund beyond the end of the Escrow Period pursuant to Section 6.3(a). After the initial release of the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Fund shall be recalculated each time a portion of the Escrow Fund is released to the holders of Target Common Stock taking into consideration all amounts paid to Acquiror for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, all amounts to be continued to be held in the Escrow Fund and all amounts previously paid to the shareholders of Target. Any portion of the Escrow Fund held as a result of Section 6.3(a) shall be released to the holders of Target Preferred Stock and Target Common Stock or released to Acquiror (as appropriate) promptly upon resolution of each specific indemnification claim involved.
          6.4 Claims Upon Escrow Fund.

At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent. For a period of 30 days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery of immediately available funds pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Shareholders’ Agent to make such delivery. After the expiration of such 30-day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of the funds in the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, provided that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Shareholders’ Agent shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent and to Acquiror prior to the expiration of such 30 day period.
               (b) Negotiation and Resolution. In case the Shareholders’ Agent shall so object in writing to any claim or claims by Acquiror made in any Officer’s Certificate, Acquiror shall have 30 days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Shareholders’ Agent. If after such thirty 30-day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Shareholders’ Agent and Acquiror shall attempt in good faith for 60 days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Shareholders’ Agent and Acquiror should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and shall distribute the funds in the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
          6.6 Resolution of Conflicts and Arbitration.
               (a) Arbitration. If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between the parties pursuant to Section 6.5, either Acquiror or the Shareholders’ Agent may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Damages is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator. Acquiror and the Shareholders’ Agent shall agree on the arbitrator, provided that if Acquiror and the Shareholders’ Agent cannot agree on such arbitrator, either Acquiror or Shareholders’ Agent can request that Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) select the arbitrator. The arbitrator 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, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator shall be written, shall be in accordance with applicable Law and with this Agreement, and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusion of law which shall set forth the basis for the decision of the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Section 6 hereof, the Escrow Agent and the parties shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith.
               (b) Enforcement. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Phoenix, Arizona under the commercial rules then in effect of JAMS. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of the arbitrator, any administrative fee of JAMS, and the expenses, including

29


 

attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the other party to the arbitration. For purposes of this Section 6.6(b), in any arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Officer’s Certificate is at issue, the Acquiror shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party unless the arbitrators award the Acquiror more than one half (1/2) of the amount in dispute, plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, the Target Shareholders shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party.
          6.7 Shareholders’ Agent.
               (a) Appointment. The Shareholders’ Agent shall be agent for and on behalf of the Target shareholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to Acquiror of the funds in the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by Acquiror, to object to such deliveries, to make claims on behalf of the Target shareholders pursuant to Sections 6.5 and 6.6, 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, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund from time to time upon not less than ten days’ prior written notice to Acquiror. No bond shall be required of the Shareholders’ Agent, and the Shareholders’ Agent shall receive no compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholders’ Agent shall constitute notice to or from each of the Target shareholders. Approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of Target shall constitute their ratification and approval of the appointment of the Shareholders’ Agent pursuant to this Agreement to act on behalf of the shareholders of Target.
               (b) No Liability. The Shareholders’ Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Shareholder’ Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Target Common Shareholders shall severally indemnify and hold the Shareholders’ Agent harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Shareholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder.
               (c) Access to Information. The Shareholders’ Agent shall have reasonable access to information about Target and the reasonable assistance of Target’s and the Surviving Corporation’s officers and employees for purposes of performing his duties and exercising his rights hereunder, provided that the Shareholders’ Agent shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about Target and the Surviving Corporation to anyone (except on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially).
               (d) Conflict of Interest. Acquiror acknowledges that the Shareholders’ Agent may have a conflict of interest with respect to his duties as Shareholders’ Agent, and in such regard the Shareholders’ Agent has informed Acquiror that he will act in the best interests of the Target shareholders.
          6.8 Actions of the Shareholders’ Agent. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent shall constitute a decision of all Target shareholders for whom funds are deposited in the Escrow Fund and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Target shareholder, and the Escrow Agent and Acquiror may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Agent as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Target shareholder. The Escrow Agent and Acquiror 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 Shareholders’ Agent, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party.
