(a) Not more than five (5) Business Days (but at least two (2) Business Days) prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a certificate (the “Closing Payment Certificate”), setting forth (i) Sellers’ calculation of the Estimated Closing Payment, including the calculations of each of (A) the Closing Cash, and (B) Sellers’ good faith estimate of the amount of Working Capital, as of 11:59 p.m. Pacific timeon the Closing Date (such estimate, “Estimated Working Capital”); (ii) a draft consolidated balance sheet for the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet”); and (iii) the Payment Schedule. The Company shall prepare the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Financial Statements.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Estimated Closing Payment” means (i) a number of shares of Buyer Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient of $7,000,000 divided by the Average Buyer Stock Price (the “Closing Stock Consideration”); plus (ii) an amount of cash equal to (A) $14,000,000; plus (B) the Closing Cash; plus (C) the amount (if any) by which Estimated Working Capital exceeds Target Working Capital; minus (D) the amount (if any) by which Target Working Capital exceeds Estimated Working Capital; minus (E) the Escrow Amount; minus (F) the Expense Fund (such amount as determined in this clause (ii), the “Estimated Closing Cash Payment”). The Estimated Closing Cash Payment shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.5 and Section 1.6 hereof.

(c) Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from Sellers, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Shares, free and clear of all Liens.

1.2 Treatment of Company Options.

(a) At the Closing, each Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing shall be canceled. In exchange for the cancellation of the Company Options, the holders of Company Options that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Optionholders”) shall be entitled to receive the consideration set forth opposite their names on the Payment Schedule.

(b) Before the Closing, the Company shall take all actions, including obtaining appropriate resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors and providing all notices that are necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by Buyer to give effect to the transactions contemplated by Section 1.2(a).

1.3 Escrow Amount.

(a) Sellers and Optionholders acknowledge that the Estimated Closing Cash Payment includes a deduction of $2,800,000 in the aggregate (the “Escrow Amount”), of which $2,100,000 shall be designated and used in solely in order to support Sellers’ and Optionholders’ indemnification obligations under Article VIII (the “Indemnification Escrow”) and $700,000 shall be designated and used solely in order to support Sellers’ and Optionholders’ payment obligations, if any, under Section 1.6 (the “Adjustment Escrow”).

Following the payment of the Escrow Release Amount, the remaining balance, if any, of the Escrow Amount shall be delivered to Sellers and Optionholders promptly after the asserted claims have been resolved and, if applicable, paid.

For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by Sellers at Closing. The Seller Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations hereunder except as required by applicable Law.

1.5 Post-Closing Adjustments to Estimated Closing Payment.

(a) No later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇ will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Seller Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of (i) any unpaid Company Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness Amount; and (ii) the Closing Working Capital, together with supporting documentation and calculations.

(b) If Seller Representative disagrees with any of Buyer’s calculations of any items or amounts set forth in the Closing Statement, Seller Representative may, within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Closing Statement and supporting documentation and calculations, deliver a written notice (the “Objection Notice”) to Buyer disagreeing with such calculations. The Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts with which Seller Representative disagrees, together with a detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount, and shall set forth Seller Representative’s calculation, based on such objections, of (x) any unpaid Company Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness Amount and (y) the Closing Working Capital. To the extent any item or amount in the Closing Statement is not objected to in the Objection Notice, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with Buyer’s calculation thereof. If Seller Representative does not deliver the Objection Notice within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Closing Statement, then all of the items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement, including the Indebtedness Amount, the Company Transaction Expenses and the Closing Working Capital, as applicable, shall be deemed to be Final and Binding on Sellers and Buyer.

(c) If the Objection Notice is timely delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(b), Seller Representative and Buyer shall, during the fifteen (15) days following such delivery, negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the value of the disputed items or amounts. If, during such period, Seller Representative and ▇▇▇▇▇ are unable to reach agreement on all disputed items and amounts, they shall promptly thereafter mutually engage and submit such dispute to the Accounting Referee for Final and Binding resolution. The Accounting Referee’s determination will be based solely on presentations by Seller Representative and Buyer that are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of independent review) and Seller Representative and Buyer shall cause the Accounting Referee to deliver to Seller Representative and Buyer as promptly as practicable a written report setting forth its determination of the items and/or amounts in dispute. Such report shall be Final and Binding on Sellers and Buyer. The fees of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller Representative (which portion shall be paid from the Expense Fund) in inverse proportion as each shall prevail in respect of the dollar amount of disputed items so submitted (as finally determined by the Accounting Referee). “Final Resolution Date” shall be the earlier of (i) the day on which written notice is received by ▇▇▇▇▇ from Seller Representative that Seller Representative is in agreement with the Closing Statement and will not deliver an Objection Notice with respect thereto, (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Closing Statement if the Objection Notice is not delivered or (iii) if the Objection Notice is timely delivered, then the earlier of when the parties reach a written agreement on the value of the disputed items or three (3) Business Days after the Accounting Referee delivers its final report.

1.6 Post-Closing Adjustment Payments.

(a) The “Final Closing Payment” shall be an amount equal to (i) the Closing Stock Consideration, plus (ii) a cash amount equal to (A) $14,000,000; plus (B) the Closing Cash as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5, minus (C) any unpaid Company Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness Amount as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5; plus (D) the amount (if any) by which Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5 exceeds Target Working Capital; minus (E) the amount (if any) by which Target Working Capital exceeds Closing Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5; minus (F) the Expense Fund (such amount as determined in this clause (ii), the “Final Closing Cash Payment”). The “Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount (which may be expressed as a positive or negative number) equal to the Final Closing Cash Payment minus the Estimated Closing Cash Payment.

(b) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5, is a negative number, then (A) Buyer and Seller Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow (1) to Buyer, the lesser of (x) the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount and (y) the full amount of the Adjustment Escrow, and (2) to Sellers and Optionholders, if the Adjustment Amount is less than the Adjustment Escrow, the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow and (B) if the Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount of the Adjustment Escrow, Sellers and Optionholders shall pay the remaining balance of the Adjustment Amount directly to Buyer.

(c) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5, is a positive number, then (A) Buyer shall, within five (5) days after the Final Resolution Date, pay to Sellers and Optionholders, the aggregate amount of the Adjustment Amount, which will be paid to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and to Optionholders through the payroll system of Buyer or the Company and (B) Buyer and Seller Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers the full amount of the Adjustment Escrow. The percentage of the Adjustment Amount payable to each individual Seller and Optionholder shall be determined based on such Seller or Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share.

(d) If the Adjustment Amount is equal to zero dollars ($0), Buyer and Seller Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers and Optionholders the full amount of the Adjustment Escrow.

(e) Any payment of an Adjustment Amount shall constitute an adjustment to the Estimated Closing Payment for all Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Buyer and Sellers on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

1.7 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer, the Company, and their Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under the Code (or any provision of applicable Law with respect to the making of such payment) with respect to such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate tax authorities by Buyer, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

ARTICLE VI.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

6.1 Litigation Support. After the Closing, in the event that, and for so long as, Buyer or the Company is actively contesting or defending against any charge, audit, complaint, action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, grievance, arbitration, claim, or demand in connection with (a) any transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, Sellers will reasonably cooperate with such contesting or defending party and its counsel in the contest or defense, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the Company (except to the extent Buyer or the Company is entitled to indemnification therefor under the provisions of this Agreement).

6.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns.

(i) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns in respect of the Company that relate to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date but that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and at least for five (5) days before timely payment of Taxes (including estimated Taxes) is due to the Tax Authority, Sellers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns, except to the extent such Taxes are included as a liability in the final calculation of Closing Working Capital or Indebtedness. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method. Buyer shall deliver drafts of such Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (considering any extension) for the filing of such Tax Returns, to Seller Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Seller Representative, supporting documentation) for Seller Representative’s review. If Seller Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within fifteen (15) days of delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days of receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇ of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution (if the resolution differs from Buyer’s treatment of the disputed item or items). The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Sellers. Buyer shall timely file, or cause to be timely filed, such Tax Returns and Seller shall make the payment due to Buyer under this Section 6.2(a)(i) at least five (5) days before timely payment of Taxes (including estimated Taxes) is due to the Tax Authority.

(ii) Buyer shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, any Tax Return required to be filed by the Company for a Straddle Period (a “Straddle Period Tax Return”). Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method. Buyer shall deliver at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Straddle Period Tax Return to Seller Representative for Seller Representative’s review a draft of such Tax Return (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Seller Representative, supporting documentation). If Seller Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within fifteen (15) days of delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days of receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇ of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee’s resolution (if the resolution differs from Buyer’s treatment of the disputed item or items) and Sellers shall make the payment due to Buyer for Seller’s portion of such Taxes that are attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period at least five (5) days before timely payment of Taxes (including estimated Taxes) is due to the Tax Authority; provided, however, Sellers shall not be required to pay such Taxes to Buyer to the extent such Taxes were included in the final determination of Indebtedness or Closing Working Capital; provided, further, that if a refund is received as a result of filing an amended Tax Return to reflect the resolution of disputed items under this clause (i) and the filing of such amended Tax Return results in a refund, then Buyer shall promptly pay to Sellers the portion of such refund that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (for the avoidance of doubt, any refund (or portion thereof) attributable to a Tax asset included in the final determination of Indebtedness or Closing Working Capital or is a refund of a Tax that was economically borne by Buyer shall not be for the account of Sellers). The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller.

(iii) With respect to Taxes of the Company relating to a Straddle Period, the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that is deemed to end on the close of business on the Closing Date shall be allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and paid by Sellers to Buyer, except to the extent such Taxes are included as a liability in the final calculation of Closing Working Capital or Indebtedness. The portion of any Tax that is allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be, (A) in the case of Property Taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days of such Straddle Period in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period and (B) for all other Taxes, determined as though the taxable year of the Company terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date. Seller shall make such payment to Buyer at least five (5) days before timely payment of Taxes (including estimated Taxes) is due to the Tax Authority.

(b) Cooperation. Buyer and Seller Representative agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Buyer or Seller Representative, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Buyer and Seller Representative shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date.

(i) Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and Seller Representative, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other upon receipt by such party of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes of the Company for a Pre‑Closing Tax Period (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Matter”). Any failure to so notify the other party of any Tax Matter shall not relieve such other party of any liability with respect to such Tax Matters except to the extent such party was actually and materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

(ii) Buyer shall have sole control of the conduct of all Tax Matters, including any settlement or compromise thereof; provided, that Buyer shall keep Seller Representative informed of the progress of any Tax Matter and shall not settle or compromise any Tax Matter without the consent of Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided further, that Seller Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Seller Representative.

(iii) In the event of any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 6.2(c) and Section 7.5, this Section 6.2(c) shall control.

(d) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements, Tax indemnity agreements, Tax allocation agreements or similar agreements shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(e) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Sellers. Seller Representative ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to file in a timely manner all necessary documents (including, but not limited to, all Tax Returns) with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. The Parties, as applicable, shall provide the other Party with satisfactory evidence that such Transfer Taxes have been paid.

6.3 Confidentiality. In further consideration for the payment of the Estimated Closing Payment and in order to protect the value of the Shares purchased by ▇▇▇▇▇ (including the goodwill inherent in the Company as of the Closing), as of the date hereof, each Seller agrees as follows:

(a) Such Seller has had access to and contributed to information and materials of a highly sensitive nature (including Confidential Information, as defined below) of the Company and Buyer, and related entities (each of the foregoing, a “Company Entity”). Such Seller agrees that unless such Seller first secures the written consent of an authorized representative of Buyer, such Seller shall not use for itself or anyone else, and shall not disclose to others, any Confidential Information, except (i) to the extent such use or disclosure is required by Law or any Order (in which event such Seller shall, to the extent practicable, inform the Company in advance of any such required disclosure, shall cooperate with the Company in all reasonable ways in obtaining a protective order or other protection in respect of such required disclosure, and shall limit such disclosure to the extent reasonably possible while still complying with such requirements); or (ii) as necessary to perform its duties as an employee of or consultant to a Company Entity.

(b) Such Seller will make no public or other announcement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇.

6.4 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Beginning on the Closing Date and continuing for a period of three (3) years (the “Restricted Period”), each Key Shareholder covenants and agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, independently or in concert with others, for himself, or on behalf of any Person, other than Buyer, the Company, or any Affiliate of Buyer (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”): (i) own, manage, operate, control, participate in, render services for, become employed by, or invest in, directly or indirectly, within the Territory, the business of designing, manufacturing or selling high-power semiconductor burn-in test systems, or (ii) profit from, or lend or permit the use of its name in connection with, any such business within the Territory. “High-power semiconductor test systems” are systems that utilize more than 150 ▇▇▇▇▇ of power for burn-in and otherwise have burn-in test capabilities that are the same as or similar to the Company’s Sonoma test system.

(b) During the Restricted Period, each Seller covenants and agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, independently or in concert with others, for himself, or on behalf of any Person, (i) encourage, induce, solicit, advise or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit or advise, any employee of any Buyer Party for the purpose of causing such employee to leave their employment with such Buyer Party, or (ii) hire or otherwise retain (as an employee, agent, or contractor, or otherwise) or solicit for hiring or retention any employee of any Buyer Party. For purposes of this Section 6.4(b), an employee of any Buyer Party means any Person who was an employee of such Buyer Party at any time during the six (6) month period immediately prior to the Closing Date or who such Seller knows or reasonably should know is employed by a Buyer Party.

(c) Each Seller acknowledges and represents that: (i) sufficient consideration has been given by each party to this Agreement to the other as it relates hereto; (ii) such Seller has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding its rights and obligations under this Section 6.4; (iii) such Seller fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein; (iv) the restrictions and agreements in this Section 6.4 are reasonable in all respects and necessary for the protection of the Company and its Confidential Information and goodwill and without such protection, the customer and client relationships and competitive advantage of the Company would be materially adversely affected; (v) the agreements in this Section 6.4 are an essential inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and they are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any similar or related covenants to which Seller is party or by which it is bound; and (vi) except as set forth on Schedule 6.4(c), such Seller is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, non-compete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any Person other than the Company.

(d) If at any time a court or arbitrator’s award holds that the restrictions in this Section 6.4 are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. The parties hereto agree that any breach of the provisions contained in this Section 6.4 will result in serious and irreparable injury and therefore money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Section 6.4 that is continuing, the Company and its successors and assigns, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof. In addition, in the event of a breach or violation by Seller of this Section 6.4, the Restricted Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

(e) From and after the Closing Date, such Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, alone or in connection with any Person, engage in any conduct or make any statement, whether in commercial or noncommercial speech, that disparages, criticizes or is injurious to the reputation of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company), including (i) inducing or encouraging others to disparage Buyer, any of its Affiliates, and (ii) making or causing to be made any statement that maligns the business, goodwill, personal or professional reputation of Buyer, its Affiliates.

6.5 Further Actions. In case at any time after the Closing any further actions are necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each party hereto will take such further actions (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other such party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, the Company will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records (including Tax records), agreements, and financial data of any sort relating to the Company.

6.6 Agreements Relating to Buyer Stock.

(a) The Buyer Stock shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Buyer’s bylaws and under this Section 6.6. The Buyer Stock constitutes “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, and may not be transferred absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and any such transfer shall be subject to compliance with applicable state securities Laws. Each Seller and every transferee or assignee of any Buyer Stock from such Seller shall be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.6, and ▇▇▇▇▇ may require, as a condition precedent to the transfer of any Buyer Stock, that any transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by, and subject to, all the terms and conditions of this Section 6.6.

(b) Each certificate or book-entry notation representing any Buyer Stock issued to or held by each Seller in accordance with the terms hereof shall bear the following legends (in addition to any other legends required by Law, ▇▇▇▇▇’s restated articles of incorporation or any other agreement to which such Seller is a party):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS

(c) Buyer intends to issue the Buyer Stock as provided in this Agreement pursuant to a “private placement” exemption or exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities Laws. Each Seller agrees to fully cooperate with Buyer in its efforts to ensure that such shares of Buyer Stock may be issued pursuant to such exemptions.

8.5 Notice and Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a party hereto seeks indemnification under this Article VIII with respect to any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim brought against it by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after receiving written notice of such Third-Party Claim, describing the Third-Party Claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and the basis thereof; provided, that any failure to so notify or any delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or his obligations hereunder. With respect to any Third-Party Claim which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, (i) to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification or (ii) at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below), to assume control of such defense and appoint lead counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, that, as a condition precedent to the Indemnifying Party’s right to assume control of such defense, it must first: (A) notify the Indemnified Party in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will defend the claim and (B) furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party has sufficient resources to defend such Third-Party Claim and to satisfy its obligations to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII in respect of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense if the Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (I) seeks non-monetary relief, (II) involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (III) involves a claim that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to reasonably defend, or (IV) seeks Losses in excess of the Cap (except for Third-Party Claims seeking Losses in excess of the Cap in which the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay to the Indemnified Party all costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with the Indemnifying Party participating in such defense) (each of the foregoing, an “Exception Claim”).

(b) In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to elect to assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in the manner set forth in Section 8.5(a) or such Third-Party Claim is or at any time becomes, an Exception Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate; provided, however, the Indemnified Party shall act reasonably and in good faith in connection with giving consent to the entry of any judgment or entering into any settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim and shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that any Losses related thereto for which indemnification is sought under this Article VI would exceed the Indemnification Escrow without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Release.

(a) Each Seller on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, heirs, administrators, estates, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and any other Person or entity claiming by, through, or under any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasing Party”), does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge the Company and its Affiliates, heirs, administrators, estates, employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries, predecessors, officers, directors, stockholders, agents, executors, personal and other representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), effective as of the date hereof, from any and all actions, causes of action, complaints, claims, demands, debts, damages, costs, losses, penalties, attorneys’ fees, obligations, judgments, expenses, compensation, rights and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, in law or equity, whether known or unknown, contingent or otherwise (“Claims”), that the Releasing Party now has, has ever had or may have in the future against any of the Released Parties by reason of any act, omission, transaction, occurrence, conduct, circumstance, condition, harm, matter, cause or thing that has occurred or existed at any time from the beginning of time up to and including the date hereof, in each case that arise from or out of, are based upon or relate to (i) the Releasing Party’s capacity as a current or former stockholder of the Company, an officer, director, manager, employee or agent of any of the Released Parties, including, without limitation, any and all Claims that the Releasing Party may have against any of the Released Parties with respect thereto whether pursuant to any breach or alleged breach of contract, agreement, fiduciary duty or otherwise and (ii) the negotiation or execution of this Agreement or any of the other documents referenced in this Agreement, or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 11.1 shall modify, waive, replace, supersede, or impair in any way (A) any claims of any Releasing Party under this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document to which such Releasing Party is a party or (B) any claims of any Releasing Party as of the date hereof under or to: (aa) any earned but unpaid wages or consulting fees, (bb) any right to reimbursement of business expenses incurred as of the date hereof that are reimbursable in accordance with the applicable Company policy, (cc) any accrued but unused vacation or paid-time-off days in accordance with the applicable Company policy, (dd) accrued or vested benefits the Releasing Party may have, if any, under any applicable plan, policy, practice, program, contract or agreement with the Company, (ee) any indemnification or other protections owing to the Releasing Party under the Company’s organizational documents, any indemnification agreement between the Company and such Releasing Party or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the Company, or (ff) any applicable Law that cannot be waived as a matter of law, (all Claims described in (A) and (B), “Excluded Claims”). Each Releasing Party understands that this is a full and final general release of all such claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, other than Excluded Claims, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, that could have been asserted in any Action against any of the Released Parties.

(b) Each Releasing Party acknowledges that he, she or it is familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (“Section 1542”), which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

(c) Each Releasing Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes any rights and benefits that such Releasing Party may have under Section 1542 or any similar or analogous statute or common law principle of any jurisdiction. Each Releasing Party acknowledges that he or she may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those that such Releasing Party now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this release, but it is each Releasing Party’s intention to fully and finally and forever settle and release any and all Claims (other than Excluded Claims) that do now exist, may exist or heretofore have existed with respect to the subject matter of this release. In furtherance of this intention, the releases contained herein shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.

11.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, that any Person that is not a party to this Agreement but, by the terms of Article VIII, is entitled to indemnification, shall be considered a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, with full rights of enforcement as though such Person was a signatory to this Agreement.

11.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits hereto and the Disclosure Schedules, and the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between such parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

11.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned (whether by operation of Law, through a change in control or otherwise) by the Company or Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer.

11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.6 Titles. The titles, captions or headings of the Articles and Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

11.9 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal court of the United States of America, sitting in the Alameda County, California, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts; (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Federal court; (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such Federal court; and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.7. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(b) Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS; (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS; (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY; AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.9(b).

11.10 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may not be amended except in a written instrument executed by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller Representative. No amendment, supplement, modification, or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party hereto to be bound thereby.

11.11 Waivers. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The failure of a party hereto to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.

11.12 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the following sentence, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) each of Buyer and Sellers shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without proof of damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled under this Agreementand (b) the right of specific enforcement in favor of Buyer and Sellers is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that he and/or it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither Buyer nor any Seller, when seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and/or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.12, shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Action. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that, other than Buyer and Sellers, no other party or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

11.13 Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of any party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

11.14 Press Releases. The timing and content of all press releases and other public announcements to the Company’s customers, vendors and employees relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents shall be determined by Buyer.

11.15 Expenses. Sellers shall bear all fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel or other representatives and consultants) incurred by the Company hereto in connection with the negotiation of the Transaction Documents, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of all fees of legal counsel and other representatives and consultants to Buyer directly related to the transactions contemplated herein.

11.16 Construction.

(a) Each party hereto agrees that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, 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. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification) in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant (including any indemnification provision) relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached (or is not otherwise entitled to indemnification with respect thereto) shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to a different provision).

(b) The Disclosure Schedules are hereby incorporated by reference into the Sections in which they are directly referenced. The Section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and do not broaden or otherwise affect any of the provisions of the Agreement.

11.17 Severability of Provisions. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced as a result of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

11.18 Attorney Client Relationship.

(a) Buyer waives and will not assert, and will cause the Company to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”), of Sellers in any matter involving this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, by ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. (the “Current Representation”).

(b) Buyer hereby acknowledges that any communication between any legal counsel, on the one hand, and Sellers or their respective Representatives, on the other hand, occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, in each case to the extent governed by the attorney-client privilege shall remain privileged after the Closing; provided that the foregoing waiver and acknowledgment of retention will not extend to any communication not involving this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any of the contemplated transactions, or to communications with any other Person.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.18, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company), on the one hand, and a third party other than Seller, on the other hand, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided,however, that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller Representative.

11.19 Seller Representative.

(a) Each Seller irrevocably authorizes and appoints Seller Representative as its lawful representative, exclusive agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), as Seller Representative for and on behalf of the Sellers to: (i) give and receive notices and communications relating to this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby and thereby; (ii) to authorize distribution to any Indemnified Party from the Indemnification Escrow in satisfaction of any indemnification claims hereunder by any Indemnified Party, to object to any indemnification claim and/or to any payment to any Indemnified Party from the Indemnification Escrow in satisfaction of any such claim, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to any indemnification claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any such indemnification claim by any Indemnified Party hereunder against any Indemnifying Party or by any such Indemnifying Party against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Indemnifying Party, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Seller Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Indemnifying Parties from time to time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Buyer; provided, however, that Seller Representative may not be removed unless holders of a two-thirds interest of the Escrow Amount agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Seller Representative may resign upon 30 days prior written notice to the Indemnifying Parties and Buyer. Any vacancy in the position of Seller Representative may be filled by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Amount. No bond shall be required of Seller Representative, and Seller Representative on the date hereof shall not receive any compensation for its services, but any Person subsequently appointed to serve as Seller Representative may receive compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from Seller Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Indemnifying Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event may Seller Representative take any action which would (x) increase the liabilities or obligations of any Seller beyond what is contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (y) cause any Seller to become liable for any indemnification obligations in excess of their Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount, without the prior written consent of such Seller.

(b) Seller Representative shall not be liable to Sellers for any act done or omitted hereunder as Seller Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. Sellers (except for Seller Representative, if a Seller) shall jointly and severally indemnify Seller Representative and hold Seller Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of Seller Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of Seller Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by Seller Representative (“Seller Representative Expenses”), provided that the Seller Representative shall first utilize the Expense Fund in connection with any of the foregoing. In no event will Seller Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to Seller Representative under this Section 11.19. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of Seller Representative. Following the resolution of all indemnification claims made under this Agreement and the satisfaction of all such indemnification claims, Seller Representative shall have the right to recover Seller Representative Expenses from the Expense Fund and, after the Expense Fund is fully depleted, from the funds then remaining in the Escrow Amount, if any, prior to any distribution to Sellers, and prior to any such distribution, shall deliver to Buyer a certificate setting forth the Seller Representative Expenses actually incurred. A decision, act, consent or instruction of Seller Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of the Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Seller; and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of Seller Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Indemnifying Parties. Buyer is hereby relieved from any liability to any Seller for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of Seller Representative.
