1.10         No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock.  The shares of Parent Common Stock issued and cash paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving LLC of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Surviving LLC for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.11         Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  In the event any Company Stock Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amount, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Stockholder who is the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to either (i) deliver a bond in such amount as it may direct or (ii) provide an indemnification agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(i)    The Permit Information Statement shall constitute a disclosure document for the offer and issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by the holders of Company Capital Stock in the Merger.  The Company shall cooperate with, and provide information to, Parent in connection with Parent’s application for the California Permit.  The Company and Parent will respond to any comments from the California Department of Corporations and work together in good faith to use their commercially reasonable efforts to have the California Permit granted as soon as practicable after such filing.  Each of Parent and the Company agrees to provide promptly to the other such information concerning its business and financial statements and affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the providing party or its counsel, may be required or appropriate under the Fairness Hearing Law for inclusion in the Permit

54

Information Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and auditors in preparation of the Permit Information Statement.

(ii)   As promptly as practicable after the Notification Date (or earlier, if requested by Parent), Parent and the Company shall prepare and make such filings as are required under applicable blue sky laws relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Company shall assist Parent as may be necessary to comply with the securities and blue sky laws relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv)  In the event that, after working in good faith and with commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the California Permit, Parent reasonably determines that it is not able to receive the California Permit under terms that permit the timely close of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall issue to the Company a notice that it is abandoning the process and may abandon the application for the California Permit, in which case Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-4 to register the initial issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock as a primary offering of securities.  Such notice will be termed an “Abandonment Notice.”

(f)            Subject to Section 5.7(d), as soon as reasonably practicable following request by Parent (which request may be made prior to the Notification Date), the Company shall prepare, with the cooperation of Parent, an information statement including information regarding the Company, the terms of the Merger and this Agreement and the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors in favor of the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Written Consent Information Statement”).  The Written Consent Information Statement shall constitute a disclosure document for the offer and issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by the holders of Company Capital Stock in the Merger.  Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts so that the Information Statement will comply with applicable federal and state securities laws, including Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  Promptly following the completion of the Information Statement (but in no event prior to the Notification Date), the Company shall provide to each Stockholder a copy of the Written Consent Information Statement, and submit this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby for approval and adoption by written consent as provided by Delaware Law and the Charter Documents; provided, such submission, and any proxy or consent in connection therewith (1) shall include a solicitation of Requisite Stockholder Vote and (2) shall specify that adoption of this Agreement shall constitute approval by the Stockholders of: (x) the escrow and indemnification obligations of the Stockholders set forth in Article VII hereof and the deposit of the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Fund as contemplated by Section 1.9(b) hereof and (y) in favor of the appointment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. as Stockholder Representative, under and as defined in this Agreement.

(h)           The Board of Directors of the Company shall not alter, modify, change or revoke its unanimous approval of the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and its unanimous recommendation to the Stockholders to vote in favor of the principal terms of this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)           Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly upon the receipt of (i) any comments from any officials of any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings made pursuant hereto and (ii) any request by any officials of any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to any filings made pursuant to, or information provided to comply in all materials respect with, applicable law.  Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to Section 5.8(a), Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Entity such amendment or supplement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of the Parent Employee Plan, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions exclusions (or actively at work or similar limitations), evidence of insurability requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage

57

requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any medical, dental and vision plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Closing Date (except to the extent such exclusions or requirements were applicable under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in effect immediately prior to the Closing).

65

(ii)           Parent shall be entitled to recover for, and the Basket Amount shall not apply as a threshold to, any and all claims or payments made with respect to all Losses (a) incurred pursuant to any intentional breach of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificates or other instruments delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement (provided that, in the event of such breach, for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss no effect will be given to any qualification as to “materiality,” a “Company Material Adverse Effect” or “Knowledge” contained therein), (b) incurred pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vii) of Section 7.2(a) hereof, (c) relating to the Specified Representations or (d) resulting from the failure of any Stockholder to pay Agent Interpleader Expenses or Agent Indemnification Expenses pursuant to clauses (vi) and (vii) of Section 7.4(j) hereof.

(c)           Satisfaction of Claims.  Except to the extent that the Losses resulted from fraud or intentional misrepresentation or willful breach of any representation, warranty or covenant committed by the Company (in which case recovery of such Losses, at the discretion of an Indemnified Party, may also be pursued directly against a Stockholder, as limited by the provisions of Section 7.3) or as otherwise provided in Section 7.3(b), claims by an Indemnified Party for Losses pursuant to this Agreement shall be satisfied first from the Escrow Fund.

(d)           Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Period.

(i)            Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., local time at Parent’s corporate headquarters in California, on the date five (5) business days after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”), and the Escrow Agent shall distribute the shares in the Escrow Fund to the Stockholders following such termination except as set forth below; provided, however, that the Escrow Fund shall not terminate with respect to any amount in respect of any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate (“Unresolved Claims”) delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholder Representative (or the Stockholder(s) in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Stockholder(s)) prior to the Escrow Period termination date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to such date, and any such amount shall not be distributed to the Stockholders at such time.  As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund, if any, not required to satisfy such Unresolved Claims.  Deliveries of the Escrow Amount out of the Escrow Fund to the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 7.4(d) shall be made in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portions of the remaining shares in the Escrow Fund, with the amount delivered to each Stockholder rounded to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.

(i)            Each of the Stockholders shall have voting rights with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock contributed to and held in the Escrow Fund on behalf of such Stockholder (and on any voting securities added to the Escrow Fund in respect of such shares of Parent Common Stock).  The Escrow Agent shall from time to time deliver to the Stockholder Representative such proxies, consents and other materials and documents as may be necessary to enable the Stockholders to exercise such voting rights, and the Stockholder Representative shall instruct the Stockholders to return any instructions with respect to such voting rights to the Escrow Agent, who shall tabulate all votes received by the Stockholders and shall vote on their behalf in accordance with the instructions given by each such Stockholder.  In the absence of instructions by any such Stockholder, the Escrow Agent shall not vote any of the shares held on behalf of such Stockholder.

66

(i)    The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms of this Article VII.  At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to the Stockholder Representative, and for a period of thirty (30) days after the Claim Date, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Parent of any Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 7.4(f) hereof (other than Agreed-Upon Losses as described below) unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Stockholder Representative to make such delivery.  After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Escrow Fund equal to the amount of Losses claimed in the Officer’s Certificate (as calculated based on the Parent Trading Price), provided that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Stockholder Representative shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate (an “Objection Notice”) provided further that, to be effective, such Objection Notice must (i) be delivered to the Indemnified Party (and, in the case of a claim for recourse against the Escrow Fund, to the Escrow Agent) prior to midnight (California time) on the 30th day following the Claim Date of the Officer’s Certificate (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline” for such Officer’s Certificate and the claims for indemnification contained therein) and (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in respect of which the objection is made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative hereby waives the right to object to any claims against the Escrow Fund in respect of any Agreed-Upon Loss.  The Stockholder Representative hereby authorizes the Escrow Agent to deliver shares of Parent Common Stock from the Escrow Fund equal to the amount of Losses claimed in any Officer’s Certificate in respect of any Agreed-Upon Loss upon receipt of such Officer’s Certificate without regard to the thirty (30) day period set forth in this Section 7.4(g).

(ii)   If the Stockholder Representative (or the Stockholder(s), in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Stockholder(s)) does not object in writing (as provided in Section 7.4(g)(i)) to the claims contained in an Officer’s Certificate prior to the Objection Deadline for such Officer’s Certificate, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Stockholder Representative and the Stockholder(s) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claims for Losses set forth in such Officer’s Certificate (and such entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established).

(h)           Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.

(i)    In case the Stockholder Representative delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.4(g) hereof (other than in connection with Agreed-Upon Losses as defined in Section 7.4(h)(v) hereof, for which the Stockholder Representative has waived the right to object), the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.  If the Stockholder Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of a claim against the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

(ii)   If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after delivery of an Objection Notice, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss that is at issue is the subject of a pending

68

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 mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative.  In the event that, within thirty (30) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Stockholder Representative cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within fifteen (15) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each select one arbitrator.  The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator.  If the Stockholder Representative fails to select an arbitrator during this fifteen (15) day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected by Parent.

(iii)  Any such arbitration shall be held in San Francisco County, California, under the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS/Endispute (“JAMS”).  The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of JAMS.  The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute.  The arbitrator, or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Certificate shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Stockholders.  Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s), and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with, the terms of such award, judgment, decree or order as applicable.  Within 30 days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party, including any distributions out of the Escrow Fund, as applicable.

(iv)  Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Except as set forth in Section 7.4(h)(v) hereof, the forgoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute among the Stockholders or any Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII hereof, whether relating to claims upon the Escrow Fund or to the other indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VII.

(v)   This Section 7.4(h) shall not apply to reasonable, documented claims against the Escrow Fund made in respect of (A) any Dissenting Share Payments, (B) the Excess Third Party Expenses Indemnification Amount, if any, and (C) any Agent Interpleader Expenses or Agent Indemnification Expenses pursuant to clauses (vi) and (vii) of Section 7.4(j) hereof (each of (A), (B), and (C), an “Agreed-Upon Loss”).  Claims against the Escrow Fund made in respect of any Agreed-Upon Loss shall be resolved in the manner described in Section 7.4(g) hereof.

(i)            Third-Party Claims.  In the event Parent becomes aware of a third party claim (other than a claim that is the subject of an Agreed-Upon Loss) (a “Third Party Claim”) which Parent reasonably believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund or for other indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative of such claim, and the Stockholder

69

Representative shall be entitled on behalf of the Stockholders, at their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Stockholder Representative, no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Losses relating to such matter.  In the event that the Stockholder Representative has consented to any such settlement, the Stockholders shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VII to the amount of any Third Party Claim by Parent against the Escrow Fund, or against the Stockholders directly, as the case may be, with respect to such settlement.  If there is a Third Party Claim that, if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses hereunder, then any amounts incurred or accrued by the Indemnified Parties in defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim, regardless of the outcome of such claim, shall be deemed Losses hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.4(i) shall not apply to any Third Party Claim that is the subject of an Agreed-Upon Loss.

(j)            Escrow Agent’s Duties.

(i)    The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and as set forth in any additional written escrow instructions which the Escrow Agent may receive after the date of this Agreement which are signed by an officer of Parent and the Stockholder Representative, and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

(ii)   The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other Person, excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court, awards of arbitrators and written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative.  In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, award of arbitrator or instructions, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other Person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment, decree or award being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

(iii)  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.

(iv)  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.

(v)   In performing any duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any party for damages, losses, or expenses, except for negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability for (A) any act or failure to act made or omitted in good faith, or (B) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement or affidavit provided for in this Agreement that the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, nor will the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible for forgeries, fraud, impersonations, or determining the scope of any representative authority.  In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with

70

legal counsel in connection with performing the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by the Escrow Agent in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel.  The Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining and verifying the authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement.

(vi)    If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it.  The Escrow Agent may hold all documents and the Escrow Amount and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, may be required, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.  In such event, the Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages.  Furthermore, the Escrow Agent may at its option file an action of interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves.  The Escrow Agent is authorized to deposit with the clerk of the court all documents and the Escrow Amounts held in escrow, except all costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Escrow Agent due to the interpleader action (the “Agent Interpleader Expenses”) and which the parties agree to pay as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the Stockholders on the basis of the Stockholders’ respective Pro Rata Portions; provided, however, that in the event any Stockholder fails to timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Interpleader Expenses and recover an equal amount (which shall be deemed an Agreed-Upon Loss) from such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund. Upon initiating such action, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and discharged of and from all obligations and liability imposed by the terms of this Agreement.

(vii)   The parties and their respective successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter, other than those arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent (the “Agent Indemnification Expenses”) as follows: 50% to be paid by Parent and 50% to be paid by the Stockholders on the basis of the Stockholders’ respective Pro Rata Portions; provided, however, that in the event any Stockholder fails to timely pay his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses, the parties agree that Parent may at its option pay such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Agent Indemnification Expenses and recover an equal amount (which shall be deemed an Agreed-Upon Loss) from such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Fund.

(viii)  The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least 30 days written notice to the Parent and the Stockholder Representative; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor escrow agent which shall be accomplished as follows: Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree on a successor escrow agent within 30 days after receiving such notice.  If the parties fail to agree upon a successor escrow agent within such time, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor escrow agent authorized to do business in the State of California.  The successor escrow agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and it shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent.  Upon appointment of a successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.

71

(k)           Fees.  All fees of the Escrow Agent for performance of its duties hereunder shall be paid by Parent in accordance with the standard fee schedule of the Escrow Agent.  It is understood that the fees and usual charges agreed upon for services of the Escrow Agent shall be considered compensation for ordinary services as contemplated by this Agreement.  In the event that the conditions of this Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, or if the Escrow Agent renders any service not provided for in this Agreement but that has been requested by an officer of Parent, or if the parties request a substantial modification of the terms of the Agreement, or if any controversy arises, or if the Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to the Escrow Fund or its subject matter, the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs, attorney’s fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation.

(l)            Successor Escrow Agents.  Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

7.5          Stockholder Representative.

(a)           By virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Stockholders, each of the Stockholders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Stockholder Representative for and on behalf of the Stockholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party against any Stockholder or by any such Stockholder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Stockholder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Stockholders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of at least two-thirds interest of the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund.  No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative, and the Stockholder Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services.  Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Stockholders.

(b)           The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment.  The Stockholders on whose behalf the Escrow Amount was contributed to the Escrow Fund shall indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained

72

by the Stockholder Representative (“Stockholder Representative Expenses”). Following the termination of the Escrow Period, the resolution of all Unresolved Claims and the satisfaction of all claims made by Indemnified Parties for Losses, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to recover Stockholder Representative Expenses from the Escrow Fund prior to any distribution to the Stockholders, and prior to any such distribution, shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate setting forth the Stockholder Representative Expenses actually incurred.  A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder 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 Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Stockholders; and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.

9.2           Interpretation.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.3           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

9.4           Entire Agreement; Assignment.  This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Nondisclosure Agreement, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein: (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties 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; and (iii) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to its affiliates as long as Parent remains ultimately liable for all of Parent’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 expressly conferred upon a party in this Agreement will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy expressly conferred upon such party in this Agreement.

9.7           No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as specifically stated in Sections 5.12 and 5.17 of this Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein are not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, nor create any right, claim or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any rights of employment for any specified period and/or any employee benefits in favor of any Person, union, association, Continuing Employee, Key Employee,

76

Employer, other employee or former employee, contractor or other entity, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.8           Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction.  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.  Subject to Section 7.4(h) hereof, each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any court within San Francisco County, State of California, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of California for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process.  Subject to Section 7.4(h) hereof, each party agrees not to commence any legal proceedings related hereto except in such courts.

9.9           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.
