Each outstanding share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) will be cancelled and extinguished and will be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock, (A) the Per Share Common Holder Stock Consideration and (B) the Per Share Common Holder Cash Consideration, as set forth on the Spreadsheet.
 
               (iii) Unvested Shares. The shares of Company Capital Stock that are subject to a repurchase option or any other condition providing that such shares may be forfeited to, or repurchased by, the Company upon any termination of the employment, directorship or other relationship with the Company of the holder of such shares under the terms of any restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company (such shares being referred to herein as “Unvested Company Shares” and such repurchase options or other conditions being referred to herein as “Repurchase Rights”), then the Merger Consideration payable upon the conversion of such Unvested Company Shares in the Merger as provided in Section 1.6(b)(ii) will be unvested (such cash being referred to herein as “Unvested Cash” and such Purchaser Common Stock being referred to herein as “Unvested Parent Common Stock”) and will be subject to the same Repurchase Rights that were applicable to such Unvested Company Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation will hold all Unvested Cash and Unvested Parent Common Stock with respect to an Unvested Company Share until such cash and Parent Common Stock vests in accordance with the underlying Repurchase Right (any such vested cash being referred to herein as “Vested Cash” and such Purchaser Common Stock being referred to herein as the “Vested Parent Common Stock”), and will become payable by the Surviving Corporation and paid within thirty (30) days of becoming due and owing to the holder; provided, however, that the portion of the Escrow Cash Amount and Escrow Stock Amount attributable to such Unvested Company Shares shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent and shall constitute the “Unvested Escrow Amount”. A portion of Vested Cash and Vested Parent Common Stock distributed to the holder upon vesting will be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event that the service of a holder of an Unvested Company Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time terminates prior to the vesting of such right (or a portion thereof), or the holder of such Unvested Company Share otherwise ceases to be entitled to further vesting with respect to such Unvested Company Share, the Surviving Corporation shall have no further obligations to make payments to such holder for any unvested portion of such Unvested Company Share and any such amounts shall be retained by the Surviving Corporation. However, such holder shall still be entitled to receive, in respect of the portion of holder’s Unvested Company Shares that vested prior to such termination of service or other event, any amounts payable or issuable with respect to the portion of the rights under this Section 1.6(b)(iii), if any, that vested prior to or upon such termination of service or other event. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be reasonably necessary (under the Plans or otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6(b)(iii) to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Unvested Company Share that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that was cancelled as provided in this Section 1.6(b)(iii) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration specified in this Section 1.6(b) without interest. In the event the Surviving Corporation or Purchaser exercises its Repurchase Right with respect to any portion of the Unvested Escrow Amount, then the Surviving Corporation or Purchaser shall provide notice to the Escrow Agent that such Repurchase Right has been exercised, the amount of cash and Parent Common Stock of the Unvested Escrow Amount that is being repurchased (the “Repurchase Notice”) and promptly upon receipt of such Repurchase Notice, the Escrow Agent shall release that portion of the Unvested Escrow Amount set forth in the Repurchase Notice to the Surviving Corporation or Purchaser. For clarification purposes only, such Repurchase Notice shall not require the consent or signature of the Representative.

                     (iv) For purposes of calculating the amounts payable to each Company Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.6(b), all shares of the Company Capital Stock held by each Company Stockholder shall be aggregated on a certificate-by-certificate basis. The amount of cash to be paid to each Company Stockholder for each share certificate shall be rounded down to the nearest cent and the amount of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued to each Company Stockholder for each share certificate shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 1.6, any Dissenting Shares will be treated as set forth in Section 1.7 hereof.
 
                     (v) For purposes of clarity, the maximum aggregate consideration payable by Purchaser and the Sub in the Merger to Company Stockholders as stockholders and holders of Company Options as optionholders shall not exceed an amount equal to the Merger Consideration.
 
              (c) Assumption of Company Options.
 
                     (i) Vested Options. A “Vested Option” is the portion of a Company Option that is exercisable to acquire shares of the Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall take all necessary and appropriate action so that each of the Vested Options shall, prior to the Effective Time, be exercised for shares of Company Common Stock.
 
-11-
 

 

                     (ii) Unvested Options. An “Unvested Option” is the portion of a Company Option that is not exercisable to acquire shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each then outstanding Unvested Option (each, an “Assumed Option”) shall be assumed by Purchaser. Each Assumed Option shall be converted into an option to acquire a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Purchaser Common Stock. Each Assumed Option shall have an exercise price per share of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of the Company Option, by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The Assumed Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) that were applicable under the respective Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. It is the intention of the parties that the assumption of Company Options be effected in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A and Section 424(a) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the review and approval of Purchaser, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this Section 1.6(c) under all Company Option agreements and any other plan or arrangement of the Company (whether written or oral, formal or informal), including delivering all required notices or obtaining any required consents.
 
              (d) Withholding Taxes. The Company, the Exchange Agent, Purchaser 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 U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law or under any applicable Legal Requirement. 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.
 
              (e) Effect on 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 and shall be owned by the Purchaser. 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.
 
       1.7 Dissenting Shares.
 
              (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal or dissenters’ rights 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 receive the applicable consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.6 hereof, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by Delaware Law and California Law.
 
-12-
 

 

              (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 upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.
 
              (c) The Company shall give Purchaser (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and California Law, as applicable, 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 Purchaser, 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 Company Stockholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Purchaser in advance and shall not be presented to any Company Stockholder prior to the Company receiving Purchaser’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Purchaser, 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 (as defined in Section 7.2(a)) in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) ((i) and (ii) together “Dissenting Share Payments”), Purchaser shall be entitled to recover under the terms of Section 7.2 hereof the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments.
 
       1.8 Surrender of Certificates.
 
              (a) Exchange Agent. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., or another Person selected by Purchaser, shall serve as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the Merger.
 
              (b) Purchaser to Provide Merger Consideration. Immediately following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall (i) make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this ARTICLE I the cash and Purchaser Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (other than any Unvested Cash and Unvested Parent Common Stock, which shall be withheld by Purchaser and paid out and issued, if at all, in accordance with the terms of applicable stock restriction agreements) and (ii) deliver payment in cash for Transaction Expenses to the entities/individuals and in the amounts listed on Schedule 1.8 attached hereto. The cash and Purchaser Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.

              (c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause a letter of transmittal in Purchaser’s standard form to be delivered to each Company Stockholder at the address set forth opposite each such Company Stockholder’s name on the Spreadsheet. After receipt of such letter of transmittal (the “Exchange Documents”), the Company Stockholders will surrender the certificates representing their shares of Company Capital Stock (the Company Stock Certificates”) to the Exchange Agent for cancellation together with duly completed and validly executed Exchange Documents. Promptly following surrender of a Company Stock Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Purchaser, together with such Exchange Documents, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, subject to the terms of Section 1.8(d) hereof, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the holder of such Company Stock Certificate in exchange therefor, the cash and Purchaser Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Company Stock Certificate outstanding after the Effective Time will be deemed, for all corporate purposes thereafter, to evidence only the right to receive the cash and Purchaser Common Stock payable, if any, in exchange for shares of Company Capital Stock (without interest) into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been so converted. No portion of the Merger Consideration payable or issuable to Company Stockholders hereunder will be paid or issued 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 the Exchange Documents pursuant hereto.
 
              (d) Transfers of Ownership. If any Merger Consideration is to be disbursed pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof to a Person other than the Person whose name is reflected on the Company Stock Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it will be a condition of the issuance or delivery 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 Purchaser or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of any Merger Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Purchaser or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
 
              (e) Exchange Agent to Return Merger Consideration. At any time following the last day of the sixth month following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to Purchaser or its designated successor or assign any portion of the Merger Consideration that has been deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 1.8(b) hereof, and any and all interest thereon or other income or proceeds thereof, not disbursed to the holders of Company Stock Certificates pursuant to Section 1.8(c) hereof, and thereafter the holders of Company Stock Certificates shall be entitled to look only to Purchaser and only as general creditors thereof with respect to any and all cash and share amounts that may be payable or issuable to such holders of Company Stock Certificates pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(ii) hereof upon the due surrender of such Company Stock Certificates and duly executed Exchange Documents in the manner set forth in Section 1.8(c) hereof. No interest shall be payable for the cash amounts delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.8(e).
 
              (f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any Party shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable review and approval of Purchaser. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such 401(k) Plan(s) as Purchaser 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 (other than ordinary administration expenses or fees), then the Company shall provide a reasonable estimate of the amount of such charges and/or fees to Purchaser prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of any such charges.

-59-
 

 

          (b) For the purpose of this ARTICLE VII, when determining the amount of Losses paid, suffered, sustained or incurred as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with, as applicable the matters referred to in Sections 7.2(a)(i) and 7.2(a)(ii) above, but not for determining whether any such inaccuracy, misrepresentation, breach or non-fulfillment has occurred, any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant given or made by the Company that is qualified in scope as to “materiality” shall be deemed to be made or given without such materiality qualification.
 
          (c) No Indemnifying Party shall have any rights of contribution, indemnification or advancement from an Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss claimed by an Indemnified Party.
 
          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any Person committing fraud or intentional misconduct with respect to this Agreement, in any Related Agreement, or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be liable for, and shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless for, any Losses paid, suffered, incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, directly or indirectly, as a result of, arising out of or in connection with such fraud or intentional misconduct committed by such Person.
 
          (e) Nothing in the Agreement shall limit the right of an Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under any Related Agreement against the parties thereto.
 
     7.3 Indemnification Limitations; Exclusive Remedy.
 
          (a) Except in the cases of (i) fraud or intentional misconduct by the Company or its directors or executive officers with respect to this Agreement, in any Related Agreement, or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement on the part of the Company, in which cases there shall be no limit to liability for indemnification hereunder, (ii) any indemnification claim resulting from, arising out of or in connection with any inaccuracies or misrepresentations in, or breaches of, any of the Extended Representations, in which case the limit to liability for indemnification hereunder shall be an amount equal to the Merger Consideration, and (iii) any indemnification claim resulting from, arising out of or in connection with any inaccuracies or misrepresentations in, or breaches of, any of the Intellectual Property Representations, in which case the limit to liability for indemnification hereunder shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Merger Consideration, in the case of indemnification for all other claims under Sections 7.2(a)(i), 7.2(a)(ii), 7.2(a)(iv), 7.2(a)(v), and 7.2(a)(vi), the Company Stockholders shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any amounts in excess of any amounts then held in the Escrow Fund.
 
-60-
 

 

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that an Indemnified Party pays, suffers, incurs or sustains any Losses, any claims by such Indemnified Party for Losses shall be made first against the Escrow Fund, and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, second against the Company Stockholders directly. Any claim by an Indemnified Party that is made against the Escrow Fund shall be satisfied with respect to any Company Stockholder who has contributed to the Unvested Escrow Amount, first by such Company Stockholder’s portion of the Escrow Fund that does not represent Unvested Cash or Unvested Parent Common Stock and second by such Company Stockholder’s portion of the Escrow Fund that is part of the Unvested Escrow Amount. In the event a Company Stockholder is obligated to make any payment under this ARTICLE VII in excess of the Escrow Fund, such Company Stockholder may elect to make such payment in either cash or in shares of Purchaser Common Stock valued at the Purchaser Common Stock Value. Each Company Stockholder’s maximum liability for claims arising under this Agreement shall not exceed such Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Losses and shall in no circumstance exceed the amount of Merger Consideration actually paid to such Company Stockholder (which, for this purpose, shall include any amounts to which such Stockholder would have received pursuant to this agreement but were applied to satisfy a claim for indemnification in accordance with this ARTICLE VII), other than with respect to claims under Section 7.3(a)(i) (for which there is no limit to liability for indemnification hereunder).
 
          (c) With respect to Section 7.2(a)(i), other than with respect to the Specified Representations, no Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder until such time as the aggregate amount of Losses for which the Indemnified Party are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement exceeds $50,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”), at which time the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for the full amount of all such Losses, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII.
 
          (d) Any Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation in connection with such Losses (net of any additional premiums or other costs in respect of such insurance associated with such claims). Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses that such Indemnified Party may assert pursuant to any indemnification obligation under this Agreement.
 
          (e) Except in the case of fraud or intentional misconduct with respect to this Agreement, in any Related Agreement, or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement on the part of the Company or its directors or executive officers, from and after the Effective Time, (i) the Company Stockholders shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) hereof for any indemnification claim that is made after the Applicable Expiration Date of the representation and warranty that forms the basis for such indemnification claim, and (ii) the Purchaser and Sub shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any indemnification claim that is made after the Applicable Expiration Date of the representation and warranty that forms the basis for such indemnification claim; provided, however, that such indemnification obligations shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, before the Applicable Expiration Date of the representation and warranty that forms the basis for such indemnification claim, previously made a bona fide claim by validly delivering a Claim Certificate of such indemnification claim pursuant to this ARTICLE VII.
 
-61-
 

 

          (f) Following the Closing, the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Parties as provided in this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser and any other Indemnified Party relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
 
     7.4 No Indemnification Limitations.
 
          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Parties 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.
 
          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing shall prohibit Purchaser from seeking and obtaining recourse against any Company Stockholder in the event that Purchaser issues more than the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such Company Stockholder is entitled.
 
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any party hereto to apply for equitable remedies to enforce the other party or parties’ obligations hereunder.
 
     7.5 Indemnification Claims Procedures.
 
          (a) With respect to Section 7.2(a), an Indemnified Party may make an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 7.2(a) by delivering a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Representative, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Indemnified Party is seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund), and/or to one or more Company Stockholders (if and to the extent that the Indemnified Party is seeking recourse directly against any such Company Stockholder, (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, suffered, incurred or sustained (or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, suffer, incur or sustain) Losses, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail to the extent available the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, suffered, incurred 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, (iii) detailing any numerical calculations used in determining the amount of Losses, and (iv) detailing to what extent, if any, such claim shall include the Unvested Escrow Amount.
 
-62-
 

 

          (b) Following its receipt of a Claim Certificate, the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) shall have fifteen (15) calendar days to object to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth therein (other than claims arising pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(vi) that have been finally resolved pursuant to Section 1.9, as to which neither the Representative nor any Company Stockholder is entitled to object and for which Purchaser may obtain immediate recovery) by delivering written notice thereof which shall specify in reasonable detail (i) each amount to which the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) objects and (ii) the nature of each objection (an “Indemnification Objection Notice”) to the Indemnified Party submitting such Claim Certificate at the address of such Indemnified Party set forth in such Claim Certificate, with a copy to the Escrow Agent (if and to the extent that the Indemnified Party is seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund in connection with Section 7.2(a)). In the event that the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) shall fail to object, pursuant to this Section 7.5(b), to any item or amount set forth in an Claim Certificate within the foregoing fifteen (15) calendar day period (other than claims arising pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(vi) that have been finally resolved pursuant to Section 1.9, as to which Purchaser may obtain immediate recovery without waiting for such 15-day period), the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed and consented to each such item or amount. With respect to claims against the Escrow Fund for which the Representative does not object, or upon the expiration of such fifteen (15) day calendar day period or for claims arising pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(vi) that have been finally resolved pursuant to Section 1.9, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Escrow Fund and deliver to any Indemnified Party that has previously delivered the Claim Certificate only an amount of cash and Purchaser Common Stock (valued at the Purchaser Common Stock Value) equal, in aggregate, to any item(s) and amount(s) that the Representative has not objected to, or is deemed to have accepted pursuant to this Section 7.5(b). The form of satisfaction of the amount of any indemnification obligation of the applicable Company Stockholders under this ARTICLE VII disbursed to Purchaser from the Escrow Fund shall be in the same proportion as to the aggregate Escrow Amount, except for claims arising pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(v) and 7.2(a)(vi), which may be satisfied solely in cash.
 
          (c) In the event that the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) shall object, pursuant to Section 7.5(b) hereof, to any item(s) or amount(s) set forth in any Claim Certificate (other than claims arising pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(vi)), the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) and the Indemnified Party 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 hereof; provided, however, that for claims arising pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(vi) that have been finally resolved pursuant to Section 1.9, the Escrow Agent may rely solely on the Claim Certificate without seeking consent from the Representative or a Company Stockholder or a jointly executed memorandum.
 
-63-
 

 

          (d) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of an Indemnification Objection Notice, either the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) or the Indemnified Party may commence litigation with respect to such claim(s) in accordance with Section 9.7. The costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) of the prevailing party in any such litigation shall be paid by the other party.
 
     7.6 Third-Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third party Claim (a “Third Party Claim”) which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in an indemnification claim pursuant to this ARTICLE VII (including any Tax Claim as defined in Section 5.16(d)), such Indemnified Party shall notify the Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) of such claim, and the Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder shall be entitled), at their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party 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 Representative (or, in the event indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder), no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such matter; provided, further that, solely with respect to any Tax Claim, in the event Purchaser elects not to defend any Tax Claim for a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date for which the Company Stockholders would reasonably be expected to have more than de minimis liability pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly provide written notice of its decision to the Representative and the Representative may elect to control such defense. Solely with respect to any Tax Claim, Purchaser will not agree to any settlement of any Tax Claim for which the Company Stockholders would reasonably be expected to have more than de minimis liability pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Representative, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 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 paid, sustained, suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties in defense of such third party claim, regardless of the outcome of such claim, shall be deemed Losses hereunder. In the event that the Representative (or, if such indemnification claim is made directly against a Company Stockholder, such Company Stockholder) has consented to any such settlement with respect to an indemnification claim under Section 7.2(a), the Company Stockholders shall not have any power or authority to object under any provision of this ARTICLE VII to the amount of any Third Party Claim by Purchaser against the Escrow Fund, or against the Company Stockholders directly, as the case may be, with respect to such settlement.
 
     7.7 Escrow Arrangements.
 
          (a) Escrow Fund. By virtue of this Agreement and as partial security for the Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a), at the Effective Time, Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Amount in accordance with Section 1.10, such deposit of the Escrow Amount to constitute an escrow fund to be governed by the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Fund”).
 
-64-
 

 

          (b) Fees. All fees of the Escrow Agent for performance of its duties under the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Expenses”) shall be paid in accordance with the standard fee schedule of the Escrow Agent as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
 
          (c) 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.
 
     7.8 Representative.
 
          (a) By virtue of the Company Required Stockholder Consent, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company Stockholders, each of the Company Stockholders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Henrik Rosendahl (the “Representative”) as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Representative for and on behalf of the Company Stockholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a), 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 Company Stockholder or by any such Company Stockholder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Company Stockholder, in each case relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The identity of the Representative may be changed by the Company Stockholders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Purchaser; provided, however, that the Representative may not be removed unless holders of at least two-thirds of the interest of the Escrow Fund agrees in writing to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. Notices or communications to or from the Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Company Stockholders. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the 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 Company Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Stockholders; and each of the Escrow Agent and Purchaser may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Company Stockholders. Each of the Escrow Agent and Purchaser is 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 Representative.
 
-65-
 

 

          (b) The Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Company Stockholders shall indemnify the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Representative, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Representative in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (“Representative Expenses”).

     7.9 Release.

          (a) by mutual agreement of the Company and Purchaser;
 
          (b) by Purchaser or the Company, if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by ninety (90) days following the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1 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;

          (d) by Purchaser, 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;

     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 Purchaser, the Company, or their respective officers, directors or stockholders or other Affiliates, if applicable; provided, however, that each party hereto and each Person shall remain liable for any breaches of this Agreement or in any certificate or other instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement prior to its termination; and provided further, however, that, the provisions of Sections 5.2 (Confidentiality), 5.5 (Public Disclosure), 5.12 (Expenses), ARTICLE IX (General Provisions) 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.

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 and shall not, unless specifically stated in writing otherwise, waive any indemnification obligation. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the Company Stockholders agree that any extension or waiver signed by a majority-in-interest of the Company Stockholders shall be binding upon and effective against all Company Stockholders whether or not they have signed such extension or waiver.

     9.4 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedule and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein: (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (ii) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, and (iii) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Purchaser may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to its Affiliates as long as Purchaser remains ultimately liable for all of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.
 
     9.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
 
     9.6 Other Remedies. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
 
     9.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue.
 
          (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
 
          (b) Subject to the terms of Section 7.5 of this Agreement, each of the parties to this Agreement (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Section 9.7(b), however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

     9.8 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefor, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
 
     9.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
