With respect to each Benefit Plan, the Acquired Company has delivered or made available to Buyers true, complete and correct copies of the following, if any: (i) the most recent summary plan description for each Benefit Plan for which a summary plan description is required; (ii) such Benefit Plan, and each trust agreement relating to such Benefit Plan; (iii) the three most recent annual reports (Form 5500) for each Benefit Plan for which such report is required to be filed; (iv) the actuarial reports for the last three years for each Benefit Plan for which such a report is required under ERISA; and (v) the most recent determination letter (or opinion letter) issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to each Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code. Except as specifically provided in the foregoing documents delivered to Buyers, there are no amendments to any Benefit Plan that have been adopted or approved by Atiam that are not reflected in the applicable Benefit Plan and Atiam has not undertaken to or committed to make any such amendments or to establish, adopt or approve any new Benefit Plan. For purposes of this Section 3.17, the term Atiam includes any ERISA Affiliate.

(b) With respect to the Benefit Plans, there exists no event, condition, or set of circumstances nor has there been any event, condition or set of circumstances that has or will subject the Acquired Company or Atiam to any Liability under the terms of such Benefit Plans, ERISA, the Code or any other Law that is reasonably likely to be material or adverse. Without limiting the foregoing, Atiam complies with and has complied with the ADP/ACP nondiscrimination tests as set forth in Section 401(k) of the Code and the corresponding regulations thereunder.

(e) With respect to any Benefit Plan covered by Title I of ERISA, no non-exempt transaction prohibited by Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or breach of any fiduciary duty described in section 404 of ERISA has occurred that will cause Atiam or any partner, shareholder, officer, director or employee of Atiam or Atiam GP to incur a Liability under ERISA or the Code. Neither the Acquired Company nor Atiam sponsors or contributes to any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA. Neither the Acquired Company nor Atiam has

(i) maintained, sponsored or been required to contribute to a plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the Code or (ii) been required at any time or is required currently to contribute to any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA. Atiam does not have any plan administration responsibilities, Liabilities or fiduciary responsibilities or duties with respect to any benefit plan which is maintained by an employer that is not an ERISA Affiliate.

(f) Atiam has no Liability including under or on account of a Benefit Plan, arising out of the hiring of persons to provide services to Atiam and treating such persons as consultants or independent contractors and not as employees of Atiam. Atiam has fully and accurately reported the compensation of such Persons on IRS Form 1099 when required to do so and has no obligation to provide benefits with respect to such Persons under the Benefit Plans or otherwise.

(g) Neither the Acquired Company nor Atiam provides any health, life or other welfare coverage to current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, consultants or agents of Atiam beyond termination of their employment or service with Atiam by reason of retirement or otherwise, other than coverage as may be required under section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of ERISA.

(h) There are no pending or, to the Shareholders’ Knowledge, threatened, claims, lawsuits, arbitrations or audits asserted or instituted against any Benefit Plan, any fiduciary (as defined by Section 3(21) of ERISA) thereto, the Acquired Company, Atiam, or any employee or administrator thereof in connection with the existence, operation or administration of a Benefit Plan, other than routine claims for benefits. No Benefit Plan is presently under audit or examination (nor has notice been received of a potential audit or examination) by the IRS, the Department of Labor, or any other Governmental Entity, and no matters are pending with respect to any Benefit Plan under any IRS program.

(i) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Merger will, either alone or in conjunction with any other event (which event would not alone have an effect described in the following clauses (i) through (iii), (i) cause or result in any payment, the accelerated vesting, funding or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any material payment or benefit to any employee, consultant, officer, director or other service provider of the Acquired Company or Atiam, (ii) cause or result in the funding of any Benefit Plan or (iii) cause or result in a limitation on the right of Atiam to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any Benefit Plan or related trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount paid or payable by Atiam in connection with the transactions provided for herein (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event) will be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. Atiam has not declared or paid any bonus compensation in contemplation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(k) No Benefit Plan triggers the imposition of penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code. Each Benefit Plan that is subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code has been

maintained and operated in good faith compliance with such requirements based on applicable IRS guidance and regulations. Atiam has not entered into any agreement or arrangement to, and does not otherwise have any obligation to, indemnify or hold harmless any Person for any Liability that results from the failure to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, and does not have any Liability for nonreporting or underreporting of income subject to section 409A of the Code.

(l) All Benefit Plans may be amended or terminated without penalty or increased Liability (other than for benefits accrued to date of amendment or termination under such Plan) by Parent or Merger Sub at any time on or after the Closing Date.

(m) No payments or benefits under any Benefit Plan or other agreement would be an “excess parachute payment” under section 280G of the Code as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

There is no existing default or event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under any Policy or entitle any insurer to terminate or cancel any Policy. The Shareholders have no Knowledge of any threatened termination of, or material premium increase with respect to, any Policy and none of such Policies provides for retroactive premium adjustments.

3.19 Corporate Records. The minute books (containing the records of the meetings, or written consents in lieu of such meetings, of the stockholders, the board of directors and any committees of the board of directors), the stock certificate books, and the stock record books (collectively, the “Corporate Record Books”) of the Acquired Company and Atiam are correct and complete.

5.8 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Each Shareholder covenants that, commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is three years following the Closing Date (the “Noncompetition Period”), he or she shall not engage in, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, or have any direct or indirect ownership interest in, or permit Shareholder’s name to be used in connection with, any business anywhere in the United States that is engaged, either directly or indirectly, in the business of developing, marketing or selling any products or providing services that are competitive with products actively marketed, sold or under development by, or services provided by, the Acquired Company or Atiam (the “Restricted Business”); provided, that, this Section 5.8 shall not apply in the event any Shareholder (except for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) is terminated without “cause,” as such term is defined in each Shareholder’s Employment Agreement. It is recognized that the Restricted Business is expected to be conducted throughout the United States and that more narrow geographical limitations of any nature on this non-competition covenant (and the non-solicitation covenants set forth in Sections 5.8(b) and (c)) are therefore not appropriate.

(b) Each Shareholder covenants that, during the Noncompetition Period, such Shareholder shall not directly or indirectly, solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any current or potential clients or customers of the Surviving Entity or Atiam for purposes of diverting their business or services from the Surviving Entity or Atiam to another Person.

(c) Each Shareholder covenants that, during the Noncompetition Period, such Shareholder shall not solicit the employment or engagement of services on behalf of any other Person who is or was employed as an employee, contractor or consultant by the Surviving Entity or Atiam during such period on a full- or part-time basis.

(d) Each Shareholder acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.8 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyers and constitute a material inducement to Buyers to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Merger. Each Shareholder acknowledges that any violation of this Section 5.8 will result in irreparable injury to Buyers and agrees that Buyers shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Section 5.8, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Buyers may be entitled. Without limiting the generality of the

foregoing, the Noncompetition Period shall be extended for a Shareholder for an additional period equal to any period during which such Shareholder is in breach of the Shareholder’s obligations under this Section 5.8.

(e) If any covenant contained in this Section 5.8 is adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.8 and each provision thereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

5.9 Sale of Shares Pursuant to Regulation D. The Shareholders acknowledge that the offer and sale of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Shareholders pursuant to the Merger is intended to be exempt from registration under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) and such shares may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or pursuant to an exemption therefrom and in reliance on an opinion of Shareholder’s counsel relating to the validity of such exemption. The certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock shall bear a legend to the effect described above and shall include such additional legends as necessary to comply with applicable federal and state securities Laws and other applicable restrictions. The Acquired Company and Shareholders acknowledge that Parent is relying on certain written representations by each Shareholder to determine whether the offer and sale of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Shareholders pursuant to the Merger meets the conditions of Regulation D.

ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

6.1 Public Announcements. Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor Shareholders shall, and Shareholders shall cause the Acquired Company and Atiam not to, issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Parent may, without such approval, make such press releases or other public announcement as it believes are required pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market or applicable securities Laws, in which case Parent shall allow the Shareholders’ Representative reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; provided, further, that Parent also may make internal announcements to its employees that are consistent with the Parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the Merger.

6.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation of Tax Returns. Shareholders shall properly prepare and file or furnish to the appropriate party (or cause to be prepared and filed or so furnished) in a timely manner all Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Periods”). In no event shall the Acquired Company, its Subsidiaries or Buyers file

amended Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Periods, without the prior written approval of Shareholders. None of the Shareholders will file any amended Tax Return on the Acquired Company’s or Atiam’s behalf for any Pre-Closing Periods without the prior written approval of Parent. Shareholders, Buyers and the Acquired Company and Atiam shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, accountants and other representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable years or periods relating to Taxes.

(b) Payment of Transfer Taxes and Fees. Shareholders shall pay all Transfer Taxes arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyers and Buyers’ Affiliates including, following the Closing, the Acquired Company and Atiam with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Shareholders shall file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(c) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of SCA for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and any other Taxes of SCA for a Straddle Period that relate to a Pre-Closing Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax as is determined by multiplying the tax by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period.

(d) Any refunds or credits of Taxes that were paid in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of SCA, and any refund or credits of Taxes that were paid in respect of a Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of the Surviving Entity. The Surviving Entity shall pay the amount of any such refunds or credits to the Shareholders within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(e) If the Shareholders become aware of any assessment, official inquiry, examination or proceeding that could result in an official determination with respect to any Tax for which the Surviving Entity could be liable, the Shareholders shall promptly so notify the Surviving Entity; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Shareholders shall not relieve the Surviving Entity of its obligations under Section 8.3. If the Surviving Entity or Parent becomes aware of any official inquiry, examination or proceeding that could result in an official determination with respect to Taxes for which Shareholders could be liable under Section 8.2, the Surviving Entity or Parent shall promptly so notify the Shareholders; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Shareholders shall not relieve the Shareholders of their obligations under Section 8.2.

(f) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 6.2(f), the Shareholders shall have the right to exercise control over the contest and/or settlement of any issue raised in any official inquiry, examination or proceeding that relates only to Taxes for which the Shareholders are liable to the Surviving Entity under Section 8.2 and the Shareholders shall pay any expenses incurred in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Shareholders may not settle or compromise any issue without the prior written consent of the Surviving Entity, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Surviving Entity shall cooperate with the Shareholders as Shareholders may reasonably request, in any such inquiry, examination or proceeding. If the Shareholders do not notify the Surviving Entity within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of any such inquiry, examination or proceeding, that the Shareholders elect to exercise control over the contest and/or settlement thereof (and acknowledge their obligation to indemnify the Surviving Entity with respect thereto pursuant to Section 8.2), the Surviving Entity shall exercise such control, and Shareholders shall pay any reasonable expenses in

connection therewith. No settlement of any inquiry, examination or proceeding over which the Surviving Entity shall exercise control and with respect to which Shareholders have acknowledged their obligation to indemnify the Surviving Entity pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be made without the prior written consent of Shareholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(g) Except as provided in Section 6.2(f), the Surviving Entity shall have the right to exercise control over the contest and/or settlement of any issue raised in any official inquiry, examination or proceeding with respect to Taxes for which the Shareholders are required under Section 8.2 to indemnify Surviving Entity; provided; however, that the (i) Surviving Entity shall keep the Shareholders informed of all material developments with respect to such inquiry, examination or proceeding if it relates to any Tax for which the Shareholders could be liable under Section 8.2 and (ii) Surviving Entity shall not settle or compromise any such inquiry, examination or proceeding that relates to any Tax with respect to which the Shareholders have acknowledged their obligation to indemnify the Surviving Entity pursuant to Section 8.2, except after good faith consultation with Shareholders concerning such settlement or compromise. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Shareholders. The Shareholders shall cooperate with the Surviving Entity, as the Surviving Entity may reasonably request, in any such inquiry, examination or proceeding.

(j) Prior to the Closing, each of the Shareholders, Acquired Company, Atiam and Parent shall use its best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “368 Reorganization”), and shall not take any action independent of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are reasonably likely to cause the Merger not so to qualify. Parent shall not take, or cause or permit the Surviving Entity to take, any action after the Closing that would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger not to qualify as a 368 Reorganization. None of the Shareholders, Acquired Company, Surviving Entity or Parent will take any position on any federal income Tax Return that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a 368 Reorganization for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes as of the Effective Date. In the event Parent determines that the Merger does not qualify as a 368 Reorganization for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes, the Shareholders, Parent, Merger Sub and the Acquired Company agree to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a purchase of 100% of the stock of the Acquired Company, or such other manner that would not result in the Acquired Company’s realization of taxable income, as agreed upon by the Parties.

6.6 Post-Closing Audit. SCA shall engage ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, Ltd., or such other independent auditor acceptable to Buyers (the “Auditor”), to prepare audited financial statements for the Acquired Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, meeting the requirements of the SEC’s Regulation S-X (the “Audited Financial Statements”) in sufficient time for Parent to make any required filing of the Audited Financial Statements with the SEC. Without limiting the foregoing, Shareholders shall use their best efforts to cooperate with Parent and the Auditor in connection with the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements and the Auditor shall be asked to perform the audit of the Audited Financial Statements and deliver its report thereon addressed to Parent within 45 calendar days after the Closing. The Acquired Company shall be responsible for all fees, costs and expenses of the Auditor in connection with the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements. Shareholders shall use their best efforts to provide all documentation, answer all questions of the Auditors and respond to all other requests for information by the Auditor as promptly as possible to assist the Auditor in the timely preparation of the Audited Financial Statements.

6.7 Corporate Record Books. At the Closing, Shareholders will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Parent or its designee all of the Corporate Record Books of the Acquired Company and Atiam.

6.8 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at and after the Closing, the Parties shall execute and deliver such documents and other instruments and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions hereof and consummate the Merger.

(a) the failure of any representation and warranty or other statement by Buyers contained in this Agreement, the Schedules, or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Shareholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date; and

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyers contained in this Agreement or any other document furnished or to be furnished to Shareholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.4 Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event that an Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought under the provisions of this Article VIII (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing (“Notice of Claim”) of such Third Party Claim. Failure or delay in notifying the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability it may have to the Indemnitee, except and only to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Indemnitor with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Notice of Claim shall set forth the amount, if known, or, if not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of claimed Losses (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Losses) and a description of the basis for such Third Party Claim.

(b) Subject to the further provisions of this Section 8.4, the Indemnitor will have 15 days (or less if the nature of the Third Party Claim requires) from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Party Defense”). Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the Third Party Defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, even if the Indemnitor shall have a good faith reason that the Third Party Claim is not within the scope of its indemnity obligation hereunder. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Third Party Defense and to participate therein, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnitor unless (i) the Indemnitor shall have failed, within the time after having been notified by the Indemnitee of the existence of the Third Party Claim as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph (b), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, or (ii) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnitor, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(i) the Third Party Claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief;

(ii) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation;

(iii) under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor in respect of the Third Party Claim;

(iv) the Third Party Claim involves a material customer of the Acquired Company;

(v) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnitee’s reputation or future business prospects;

(vi) the Indemnitor has failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim; or

(vii) the Indemnitor fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to prosecute the Third Party Defense and provide indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) If by reason of the Third Party Claim a Lien, attachment, garnishment or execution is placed on any of the property or Assets of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor, if it desires to exercise its right to assume such Third Party Defense, must furnish a satisfactory indemnity bond to obtain the prompt release of such Lien, attachment, garnishment or execution.

(e) If the Indemnitor assumes a Third Party Defense, it will take all steps necessary in the defense, prosecution or settlement of such claim or litigation and will hold all Indemnitees harmless from and against all Losses caused by or arising out of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement except with the written consent of the Indemnitee; provided that the consent of the Indemnitee shall not be required if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the terms of the judgment or proposed settlement include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnitees by the third party of a release of the Indemnitees from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnitees (or any Affiliate thereof), (B) any violation of the rights of any Person and (C) no effect on any other Action or claims of a similar nature that may be made against the Indemnitees (or any Affiliate thereof), and (iii) the sole form of relief is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and the Indemnitee shall provide reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Third Party Claim. So long as the Indemnitor is reasonably conducting the Third Party Defense in good faith, the Indemnitee shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to pay or settle any such Third Party Claim, provided that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnitor for such claim unless the Indemnitor shall have consented to such payment or settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Indemnitor is not reasonably conducting the Third Party Defense in good faith, the Indemnitee shall have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the

Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee promptly for all Losses incurred in connection with such judgment or settlement.

(f) If (i) an Indemnitee gives Notice of Claim to the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor fails or elects not to assume a Third Party Defense that the Indemnitor had the right to assume under this Section 8.4 or (ii) the Indemnitor is not entitled to assume the Third Party Defense pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Indemnitee shall have the right, with counsel of its choice, to defend, conduct and control the Third Party Defense, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor. In each case, the Indemnitee shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently, and the Indemnitor shall provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense. The Indemnitee shall have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the amount of any settlement made or entry of any judgment consented to by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitor shall not be determinative of the validity of the claim, except with the consent of the Indemnitor (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding Section 10.6 hereof, in connection with any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnitee for purposes of any claim that the Indemnitee may have under this Article VIII with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on the Indemnitor with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world. If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume a Third Party Defense that it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnitee shall have no obligation to do so.

(g) Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and to cause its employees to cooperate with and assist the Indemnitee or the Indemnitor, as the case may be, in connection with any Third Party Defense, including attending conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals and furnishing records, information and testimony, as may reasonably be requested; provided that each Party shall use its best efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim of which it has assumed the defense, to preserve the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges.

8.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. In the event of a claim that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall send a Notice of Claim to the Indemnitor. The Notice of Claim shall set forth the amount, if known, or, if not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of claimed Losses (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Losses) and a description of the basis for such claim. The Indemnitor will have 30 calendar days from receipt of such Notice of Claim to dispute the claim and will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitee in determining the validity of the claim for indemnity. If the Indemnitor does not give notice to the Indemnitee that it disputes such claim within 30 calendar days after its receipt of the Notice of Claim, the claim specified in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability subject to indemnification hereunder.

8.6 Contingent Claims. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent an Indemnitee from making a claim hereunder for potential or contingent claims or demands; provided that the Notice of Claim sets forth the specific basis for any such contingent claim to the extent then feasible and the Indemnitee has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim may be made.

8.7 Escrow Fund. At the Closing, the certificates representing the Shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the initial Escrow Funds shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held and administered by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In addition to any other remedies Buyers may have for Losses described in Section 8.2 hereof, Buyers may make a claim against the Escrow Fund for the amount of such Losses by sending a Notice of Claim described in

Section 8.4 or 8.5 to the Escrow Agent. Buyers’ recourse to the Escrow Fund shall be without prejudice to any and all other remedies Buyers may have pursuant to this Article VIII or otherwise. Buyers’ remedies for Losses shall not be limited to the assets comprising the Escrow Fund.

8.8 Effect of Investigation; Waiver.

(a) An Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations and warranties and covenants and agreements of the Indemnitor will not be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the Indemnitee or any waiver by the Indemnitee of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or compliance with any covenant or agreement. Such representations and warranties and covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Indemnitor failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.

(b) Shareholders acknowledge and agree that, upon and following the Closing, the Acquired Company shall not have any Liability or obligation to indemnify, save or hold harmless or otherwise pay, reimburse or make Shareholder whole for or on account of any indemnification or other claims made by any Buyer Indemnitee hereunder. Shareholder shall have no right of contribution against the Acquired Company with respect to any such indemnification or other claim.

8.9 Other Rights and Remedies Not Affected. The indemnification rights of the Parties under this Article VIII are independent of and in addition to such rights and remedies as the Parties may have at Law or in equity or otherwise for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, failure to fulfill any agreement or covenant hereunder on the part of any Party or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, including the right to seek specific performance, rescission or restitution, none of which rights or remedies shall be affected or diminished hereby.

8.10 Shareholders’ Representative.

(a) Each Shareholder hereby irrevocably appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ as its sole, exclusive, true and lawful agent, representative and attorney-in-fact (“Shareholders’ Representative”) to act for and on behalf of the Shareholders, including, without limitation, to give and receive notices and communications, to act on behalf of the Shareholders with respect to any matters arising under this Agreement, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and commence, prosecute, participate in, settle, dismiss or otherwise terminate, as applicable, lawsuits and claims, mediation and arbitration proceedings, and to comply with orders of courts and awards of courts, mediators and arbitrators with respect to such suits, claims or proceedings, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Shareholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Shareholders’ Representative shall for all purposes be deemed the sole authorized agent of the Shareholders until such time as the agency is terminated. Such agency may be changed by the Shareholders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Buyers; provided, however, that Shareholders’ Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority of the SCA Shares as of the date hereof agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted Shareholders’ Representative. Any vacancy in the position of Shareholders’ Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of a majority of the SCA Shares as of the date hereof. No bond shall be required of Shareholders’ Representative, and Shareholders’ Representative shall not receive compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from Shareholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Shareholders during the term of the agency.

(b) Shareholders’ Representative shall not incur any liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by it or omitted hereunder as Shareholders’ Representative while acting as Shareholders’ Representative. Shareholders’ Representative may, in all questions arising hereunder, rely on the advice of counsel and other professionals and for anything done, omitted or suffered by Shareholders’ Representative shall not be liable to anyone. Shareholders’ Representative undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no other covenants or obligations shall be implied under this Agreement against Shareholders’ Representative; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not act as a limitation on the powers of Shareholders’ Representative determined by it to be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of its obligations.
