Notwithstanding Article IX hereto, each of the Holders shall, severally and not jointly (except with respect to the Principal Stockholders), on a pro rata basis in accordance with such Holder’s Allocable Portion indemnify and defend the Buyer Indemnitees and hold them harmless from and against (without duplication) any Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all Taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the Tax Effective Time of any Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an Affiliated Group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-United States law or regulation, and (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor or former parent or owner of any former Subsidiary of the Company, by Contract or pursuant to any Legal Requirement, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Time for Reimbursement. Except as provided in Section 7.1(e) (with respect to Taxes shown to be due on certain Tax Returns), the Holders shall reimburse the Company for any Taxes that are the responsibility of the Holders pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) herein within fifteen (15) Business Days after (x) payment of such Taxes by the Buyer, the Merger Sub, the Company or any of its Affiliates and (y) presentation by the Company or any of its Affiliates to the Stockholders’ Representative of a written request for such reimbursement, which request includes evidence of such Tax payment.

(c) Closing of Taxable Period. The Holders and the Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, elect with the relevant Governmental Authorities to close the Taxable period of the Company at 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date. In the case of any Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company and the amount of any sales, use, employment or withholding Taxes of the Company shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date (the “Tax Effective Time”) (and for such purpose, the Taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(d) Buyer and Company Indemnification. The Buyer and the Company shall indemnify the Holders and hold them harmless from and against any Losses attributable to all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for which the Holders are not required to indemnify the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(a). The Buyer and the Company shall (without duplication) reimburse each Holder for any

Taxes that are the responsibility of the Buyer and the Company pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) within fifteen (15) Business Days after (x) payment of such Taxes by such Holder and (y) presentation by such Holder to the Company of a written request for such reimbursement, which request includes evidence of such Tax payment. The Buyer shall not cause or permit the Company to file any amended Tax Return relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that could have a material adverse effect on the Holders without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. The Stockholders shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Company that are due after the Closing Date, but that relate exclusively to Taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Upon the request by the Stockholders, any expenses incurred by the Buyer in preparation of said Tax Returns shall be borne by the Stockholders and shall be deducted from the Holdback Amount as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration. Each such Tax Return shall (i) be delivered to the Buyer no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to filing or the due date of such Tax Return, whichever is sooner, and (ii) not be filed unless it is approved by the Buyer prior to filing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Buyer shall prepare or caused to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Straddle Period Tax Returns of the Company. Each such Tax Return shall (i) be delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to filing or the due date of such Tax Return, whichever is sooner, and (ii) not filed unless, to the extent it relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or portion thereof, it is approved by the Stockholders’ Representative prior to filing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall consult and cooperate as to any elections to be made on Tax Returns of the Company for periods ending on or before 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date.

(f) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) The Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.1 and any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and each Holder agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or the Holders, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other Parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, the Company or such Holder, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) T he Buyer and each Holder further agree, upon request, to use reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement).

(iii) The Buyer and each Holder further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code, Section 6043A of the Code, and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g) Tax Contests.

(i) General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.1(g), the Party responsible for the Taxes under Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(b), 7.1(c) and 7.1(d) that is the subject of a Tax Contest shall control and bear the cost of the conduct of such Tax Contest, including determining actions taken to pay, dispute, compromise or settle such Taxes (except with respect to Tax Contests relating to transfer pricing matters, which shall in all cases be controlled by the Buyer and costs borne by the Buyer, subject to indemnification rights pursuant to Article IX); provided, however, neither the Holders, on the one hand, nor the Buyer and the Company, on the other hand, may compromise or settle any such Tax Contest in a manner that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the other Party or Parties with respect to any Taxable period for which such other Party or Parties are responsible pursuant to this Section 7.1, without the prior written consent of such other Party or Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event a Tax Contest involves multiple Taxable periods, with respect to one or more of which the Buyer is responsible for the Taxes and one or more of which the Holders are responsible for the Taxes, then, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.1(g), the control and the cost of the conduct of the Tax Contest shall be shared accordingly and each Party shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in the conduct of such Tax Contest.

(ii) Straddle Periods. In the case of any Straddle Period, the Buyer shall control the conduct of such Tax Contest, and the Holders shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest to the extent the proceedings relate to any matter which may give rise to an indemnification payment by the Holders under this Section 7.1, or to the extent the proceedings may materially adversely affect the Holders’ Liability for Taxes relating to the Company. The Party receiving the notice of such Tax Contest will provide the other Party with notice in writing of such Tax Contest involving the Company within thirty (30) days (unless action is required sooner, then as soon as possible) of receiving such notice from the Governmental Authority. If the non-notifying Party does not respond within thirty (30) days (unless action is required sooner, then as soon as possible) of any such notice, such Party will be deemed to have elected not to participate in such Tax Contest. The Buyer shall not settle any such Tax Contest in a manner that would be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the Holders, or any of them, without the prior written consent of the Holders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any consent required to be given by the Holders may be given by the Stockholders’ Representative and if

given, shall be binding on all the Holders. In any Tax Contest involving a Straddle Period where Holders elect to participate, each Party shall bear its own costs for participating in such Tax Contest,

and both Parties shall cooperate in good faith before any final resolution is reached. Notwithstanding anything else set forth herein to the contrary, the Holders, acting through Stockholders’ Representative, at the Holders’ expense (including, without limitation, reimbursement by Holders of the Buyer’s and the Company’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such contest), shall have the right to require the Company to contest any asserted Straddle Period Tax deficiencies for which Holders would have Liability under this Section 7.1.

(h) Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving Company shall be terminated as of the day before the Closing Date and, from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(i) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the Transaction shall be paid one-half by the Buyer and one-half by the Holders (by their inclusion as Stockholders’ Transaction Expenses).

ARTICLE VIII

EMPLOYMENT MATTER COVENANTS

8.1 New Employment Arrangements.

(a) Buyer will offer all of the employees of the Company “at-will” employment by the Surviving Corporation, except the employees set forth on Schedule 8.1, who shall be terminated by the Company prior to Closing, to be effective as of the Effective Time (or as soon as practicable thereafter), upon proof of a legal right to work in the United States. Such “at-will” employment will: (a) be subject to and in compliance with Buyer’s applicable policies and procedures, including, but not limited to, employment background checks and the execution of an employee proprietary information agreement governing employment conduct and performance, (b) have terms, including the position and salary, which will be determined by Buyer, (c) include, if applicable, a waiver by the Employee of any future equity-based compensation to which such employee may otherwise have been eligible, (e) supersede any prior express or implied employment agreements, arrangements, representations, or offer letters in effect prior to the Closing Date, and (f) include agreements providing for non-solicitation of the customers and employees of the Company, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation following the termination of such employee, arbitration and release of claims. Each employee of the Company who remains an employee of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation after the Closing Date shall be referred to hereafter as a “Continuing Employee.” Continuing Employees shall be eligible to receive benefits consistent with Buyer’s applicable human resources policies. Continuing Employees shall execute the restrictive covenants agreement required to be executed by Buyer’s employees.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein expressed or implied shall confer upon any Continuing Employee, current or past employee of the Company or Buyer, or any other employee or legal representatives or beneficiaries of any thereof any rights or remedies, including any rights to employment or continued employment for any specified period of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, or shall cause the employment status of any employee (including any Continuing Employee) to be other than terminable at-will by the Buyer or the Company.

(c) The Buyer covenants and agrees that in connection with any decision concerning any Continuing Employee’s eligibility for participation and vesting in any employee welfare benefit plan, employee pension benefit plan, or employee fringe benefit arrangement established or maintained by the Buyer or the Company, the Buyer or the Company will recognize such Continuing Employee’s cumulative prior service with the Company.

8.2 COBRA Coverage. All of the former employees of the Company, including those listed on Schedule 8.1, who are entitled to, or receiving, COBRA Coverage as of the date of this Agreement and listed on Schedule 4.15(j) and all of the employees of the Company who will be entitled to COBRA Coverage as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such Persons are referred to herein, collectively, as the “COBRA Covered Employees”) shall continue to be entitled to, or receiving, such COBRA Coverage after the consummation of the Transaction. Upon and at all times after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and Buyer shall be solely responsible for providing, and shall assume the obligation to provide, COBRA Coverage with respect to the COBRA Covered Employees as required by COBRA and other applicable laws; provided, however, Holders shall indemnify the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation (excluding those resulting directly from Buyers' or the Surviving Corporation’s gross negligence) in maintaining such coverage for any COBRA Covered Employees. Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall be solely responsible for offering and providing COBRA Coverage with respect to any “qualified beneficiary” who becomes covered by a “group health plan” sponsored or contributed to by the Surviving Corporation or Buyer and who experiences a "qualifying event" following the Closing Date while covered under such group health plan. For the purposes hereof, "qualified beneficiary," "group health plan," "qualifying event," and "successor employer" shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL, INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED MATTERS

9.1 Survival. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company, the Principal Stockholders, the Holders, the Buyer and the Merger Sub in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the rights of the Parties to seek indemnification with respect thereto, shall survive the Closing for twenty-two (22) months following the Closing Date, except for the representations, warranties and indemnity obligations contained in (i) Sections 4.15 (Labor and Employment Matters) and 4.16 (Employee Benefit Plans), which shall survive for thirty (30) days past the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions), (ii) Sections 4.1 (Organization and Corporate Power), 4.2 (Authorization of Transaction), 4.3 (Capitalization), 4.9 (Title to Assets), 4.13 (Brokerage), 4.19 (Privacy; Data Protection), 5.1 (Organization and Power),

5.2 (Authorization) and 5.4 (Title), which shall survive for thirty (30) days past the applicable statute of limitations, and (iii) Sections 7.1(a) (Holders Tax Indemnification), 7.1(b) (Time for Reimbursement), 7.1(c) (Closing of Taxable Period), 7.1(d) (Buyer and Company Tax Indemnification), and 7.1(e) (Responsibility to File Tax Returns) which shall survive for thirty (30) days past the applicable statute of limitations; and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement no claim for any Losses may be brought on account of any of the foregoing beyond the applicable survival period. The sections enumerated in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) in this Section 9.1 shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Designated Representations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement, and the indemnity with respect thereto, shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Section 9.1 if a written notice relating to the event giving rise to such right or potential right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time. In any such case, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive, only for the purposes of claims for indemnity related to such event and not for the purposes of claims for indemnity related to any other event, until any claim for indemnity related to such event is resolved.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnity Obligation of the Holders.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Article IX, each of the Holders shall, severally and not jointly (except with respect to the Principal Stockholders), on a pro rata basis in accordance with such Holder’s Allocable Portion indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the other Buyer Indemnitees from and against, and pay to the Company and, if appropriate, the other Buyer Indemnitees, any loss, deficiency, damage, Liability, claim, action, obligation, cost, Tax, expense or other charge (including interest, penalties, and reasonable legal, accounting, consultant and expert fees and expenses actually incurred) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”), which the Company or the other Buyer Indemnitees may suffer, sustain or become subject to:

(A) as a result of the breach by the Company of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(B) as a result of the breach by the Company of any covenant or other agreement made by the Company in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(D) in respect of any Liability of the Company’s former Subsidiaries, including any tax Liabilities, payroll, accounts payables or indebtedness of such former Subsidiaries, including the sale or transfer of any equity securities in such foreign Subsidiaries of the Company;

(E) arising from the Buyer and the Company qualifying the Company to conduct business in any state, city or other jurisdiction as required by Law at the time of the Closing (including but not limited to, payment of any third party service provider, attorney, filing, penalty or other fees related thereto) or otherwise resulting from any Third Party Proceeding resulting from the Company’s failure to be duly qualified to conduct business in any state, city or other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by applicable Law during any time period prior to the date hereof;

(F) as a result of any Third Party Proceeding arising out of or relating to any Proceeding by Holders in connection with or arising from the consummation of the Transaction, including the exercise of dissenters rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL;

(G) relating to any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness, outstanding of the Closing Date that is not paid at Closing;

(H) as a result of, arising from or otherwise relating to, including but not limited to third party fees or expenses, any failure of the Company to obtain the consents listed on Schedule 3.1(f)(iv);

(I) relating to any litigation matters disclosed in Schedule 4.22 of the Schedules;

(J) as a result of a breach of that certain Common Stock Warrant, dated July 24, 2007, issued to Carlsbad Industrial Action, Inc. d/b/a Department of Development, the termination thereof, the Job Creation Agreement related thereto, as amended, or any other agreement between the Company and such holder or as a result of the issuance, termination or satisfaction of such warrant;

(K) as a result of any Third Party Proceeding arising out of or relating to any prior discussions, letters of intent or agreements entered into prior to the Closing concerning the acquisition of the Company or any capital stock of the Company, whether or not disclosed on any Schedule;

(L) arising from any shortfall in the Cash of the Company as of the Effective Time being less than the Minimum Cash Amount;

(M) arising from or otherwise relating to any Stockholders’ Transaction Expenses, whenever arising or submitted to the Company; and

(N) as a result of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation providing the COBRA Coverage to the COBRA Covered Employees pursuant to Section 8.2.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Article IX, each Principal Stockholder(as to himself, herself or itself only) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer, its Affiliates and their Respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay to the Buyer Indemnitees, any Loss that any Buyer Indemnitee may suffer, sustain or become subject to arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of any breach by such Principal Stockholder of: (A) any representation or warranty made by such Principal Stockholder in Article V or any Ancillary Agreement, or (B) the covenants or other agreements made by the Principal Stockholders in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(b) Buyer’s Indemnity Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Article IX, the Buyer agrees to indemnify the Holders and their respective members, officers, employees, controlling persons and Affiliates (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnitees”) and to hold them harmless from and against any Loss which any Stockholder Indemnitee may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of (i) the breach by the Buyer or the Merger Sub of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer or the Merger Sub in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (ii) the breach by the Buyer or the Merger Sub of any covenant or other agreement made by the Buyer or the Merger Sub in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (iii) Taxes payable by the Buyer, the Merger Sub or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1.

(i) If any Stockholder Indemnitee or any Buyer Indemnitee seeks indemnification under this Section 9.2, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party or parties from whom or which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim, which in the case of a Buyer Indemnitee shall mean notice to the Stockholders’ Representative. In that regard, if any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted in writing by any third party (“Third Party Proceeding”) for which an Indemnified Party may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in reasonable detail (if known) the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if it so elects by written notice to the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, shall assume and control the defense

thereof (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice contemplated by this Section 9.2(c)(i) will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Indemnifying Party’s ability to remedy, contest, defend or settle with respect to such Third Party Proceeding is actually prejudiced thereby.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume and control the defense, prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period as provided in Section 9.2(c)(i) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or (C) the Indemnifying Party has failed to maintain the defense and employ counsel; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Proceeding if (1) such Indemnified Party agrees in writing to be fully responsible for all Losses relating to such Third Party Proceeding, or (2) such Third Party Proceeding is not a Proceeding that seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party (but in that case, only to such extent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one Third Party Proceeding or separate but similar or related Third Party Proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Proceeding that is effected without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in notice contemplated by Section 9.2(c)(i) or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice, the Loss in the amount specified in the notice will be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2(a) and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss (subject to the provisions of this Article IX) to the Indemnified Party on demand.

(d) Calculation of Loss.

(i) In calculating the amount of any Loss hereunder, the amount of such Loss shall be reduced by any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies (net of the costs of such collection).

(ii) The Parties will, to the extent permitted by law, treat any payment or receipt of Losses or indemnification under this Article IX as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration on all Tax Returns.

(e) Limitations. The following provisions shall apply notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Article IX:

(i) Except in respect of any Loss in connection with claims arising from fraud willful misconduct or intentional breach of covenants or other agreements herein by the Buyer, the Principal Stockholders or the Company in connection with the Transaction or a breach of a Designated Representation, the aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i)(A) in the case of the Company and the Principal Stockholders or Sections 9.2(b) in the case of the Buyer shall not exceed the Cap Amount.

(ii) Except in respect of any Loss in connection with claims arising from fraud willful misconduct or intentional breach of covenants or other agreements herein by the Company or the Principal Stockholders or a breach of a Designated Representation, in no event shall any Party be liable pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i)(A) or 9.2(a)(ii)(A) in the case of the Company and the Principal Stockholders or Sections 9.2(b) in the case of the Buyer unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $100,000 (the “Basket Amount”), after which point the Holders, the Principal Stockholders or the Buyer, as applicable, shall be liable for the amount of all such Losses, including those below the Basket Amount.

(iii) Losses attributable to Taxes shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII.

(f) Materiality/Knowledge. For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses under this Article IX (but not for purposes of determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred) each of the representations and warranties that contains any “Material Adverse Change,” “in all material respects,” or other materiality (or correlative meaning) qualification shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualification; provided that the foregoing shall not apply and the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.8(a) and the second sentence of Section 4.28 shall be limited by the applicable materiality qualifiers. Each of the representations and warranties that contains any “Knowledge”, “to the knowledge of” or other knowledge (or correlative meaning) qualification shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualification for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representation or warranty has occurred.

(g) Exclusive Remedies. Except for injunctive action or other equitable remedies, or fraud or willful misconduct, the remedies provided in this Article IX shall be exclusive remedies of the Parties after the Closing in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

9.3 Holdback; Satisfaction of Losses.

(a) Distributions Related to Financial Statement Delivery Amount. The Financial Statement Delivery Amount shall be used to satisfy pursuant to Section 9.3(c) any Losses of any Buyer Indemnitee for which an Indemnified Party delivers an indemnification notice under Section 9.1(c) to the Stockholders’ Representative on or before the six (6) month anniversary of

the Financial Statement Delivery Date. Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the six month anniversary of the Financial Statement Delivery Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Payment Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i) an amount equal to the (i) Financial Statement Delivery Amount minus (ii) any and all amounts satisfied by Buyer by set-off of the Financial Statement Delivery Amount for satisfaction of Losses pursuant to Section 9.3(c) minus (iii) if any indemnification claim for Losses of any Buyer Indemnitee contained in any indemnification notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(c) prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Financial Statement Delivery Date is not finally resolved, an amount equal to Buyer’s good faith estimate of the cumulative amount of all Losses disputed in any such claim as of such time (the “Pending Claim Financial Statement Amount”). The Pending Claim Financial Statement Amount shall be held as security and used by Buyer to satisfy any such disputed claims on a dollar for dollar basis. If it is finally determined pursuant to Section 9.1(c) that no Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to any portion of the Pending Claim Financial Statement Amount or any portion of the Pending

Claim Financial Statement Amount is not used to set-off against any such pending claims (the “Pending Claim Financial Statement Excess”), the Pending Claim Financial Statement Excess shall be payable as such to the Payment Agent, on behalf of the Holders, pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i). The Payment Agent shall distribute amongst the Holders any and all payments of the Financial Statement Delivery Amount pursuant to the Payment Agent Agreement; provided, if any amounts are set-off against the Financial Statement Delivery Amount or the Pending Claim Financial Statement Amount for any Buyer Indemnitee Losses under Section 9.2(a)(ii) or any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in a Letter of Transmittal, the Stockholders’ Representative shall instruct the Payment Agent to reduce the amounts that would otherwise be payable from the Financial Statement Delivery Amount to the Principal Stockholder whose breach created such indemnification payment (it being the intent of the Parties, as between the Holders, that such Principal Holder should pay all amounts arising from its breach). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the date pursuant to Section 6 of the Payment Agent Agreement upon which funds deposited with the Payment Agent are returned to the Buyer, if any portion of the Financial Statement Delivery Amount or Pending Claim Financial Statement Excess which has not been previously paid to the Payment Agent becomes payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to the Payment Agent, the Company will deliver such amounts to the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Holders.

(b) Distributions Related to Holdback Amount. The Holdback Amount shall be used to satisfy pursuant to Section 9.3(c) any Losses of any Buyer Indemnitee for which an Indemnified Party delivers an indemnification notice under Section 9.1(c) to the Stockholders’ Representative on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date. On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall be obligated to pay pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(ii) to the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Holders, an amount equal to (i) the Holdback Amount minus (ii) any and all amounts satisfied by Buyer by set-off of the Holdback Amount for satisfaction of Losses pursuant to Section 9.3(c) minus (iii) if any indemnification claim for Losses of any Buyer Indemnitee contained in any indemnification notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(c) prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date is not finally resolved, an amount equal to Buyer’s good faith estimate of the cumulative amount of all Losses disputed in any such claims as of such time (the “Pending Claim Holdback Amount”). The Pending Claim Holdback Amount shall be held as security and used by Buyer to satisfy any such disputed claims on a dollar for dollar basis. If it is finally determined pursuant to Section 9.1(c) that no Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to any portion of the Pending Claim Holdback Amount or any

portion of the Pending Claim Holdback Amount is not used to set-off against any such pending claims (the “Pending Claim Holdback Excess”), the Pending Claim Holdback Excess shall be payable at such to the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Holders, pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(ii). The Stockholders’ Representative shall distribute amongst the Holders any and all payments of the Holdback Amount received pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(ii) to the Holders based upon their Pro Rata Percentages as set forth in Schedule 2.5; provided, if any amounts are set-off against the Holdback Amount or the Pending Claim Holdback Amount for any Buyer Indemnitee Losses under Section 9.2(a)(ii) or any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in a Letter of Transmittal, the Stockholders’ Representative shall reduce the amounts that would otherwise be payable from the Holdback Amount to the Principal Stockholder whose breach created such indemnification payment (it being the intent of the Parties, as between the Holders, that such Principal Holder should pay all amounts arising from its breach).

(c) Satisfaction of Buyer Indemnitees Losses; Set-Off of Financial Statement Delivery Amount and Holdback Amount. Except with respect to the indemnity obligations contained in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(c) and Section 7.1(e), any indemnification obligations owed to the Buyer Indemnitees shall be satisfied first by set-off against the Financial Statement Delivery Amount by reducing the Financial Statement Delivery Amount on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such indemnification obligations, unless or until the Financial Statement Delivery Amount has been reduced to zero or distributed pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i).
