To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the per share Consideration to be paid hereunder with respect to the shares of MP capital stock represented by such Certificates pursuant to Article 2 hereof; provided, however, that Buyer may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of such consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent against any claim that may be made with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.11 Dissenters’ Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary other than Section 1.11(b), any shares of MP capital stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section 1300 of the California Corporations Code and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal or dissenters’ rights (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the per share Consideration to be paid hereunder pursuant to Article 2 hereof, but instead shall be converted into the right to receive only such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares under the California Corporation Code. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1300, if any holder of shares of MP capital stock who demands appraisal of such shares under the California Corporations Code shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall no longer be Dissenting Shares and shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the per share Consideration to be paid hereunder pursuant to Article 2 hereof, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares pursuant to Section 1.9.

(c) MP shall give Buyer (i) prompt notice of any written demands for payment with respect to any shares of MP capital stock pursuant to the appraisal rights under California law, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to California law and received by MP which relate to any such demand for appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate at its own expense in all negotiations and proceedings which take place prior to the Effective Time with respect to demands for appraisal under California law.

The Additional Payments may be made by the Buyer, at its option, in either cash up to $1,000,000 or shares of Buyer's Common Stock or a combination thereof; provided, however, if the Additional Payments exceed $1,000,000, the maximum Buyer may pay in cash shall be $1,000,000 and any Additional Payments owing above $1,000,000 must be paid in Common Stock. If Additional Payments are made in shares of Buyer's Common Stock, the Common Stock shall be valued based on the average Sale Price of Buyer’s stock during the 10 business days prior to the Payment Date.

(b)  Within forty-five (45) days following each calendar quarter during the Incentive Period, Buyer shall make a calculation of Qualifying Revenue for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending as of the end of such calendar quarter and shall determine whether any payments of Additional Payments are due in accordance with this Section 2.4 (i.e., payments would be due only if the Qualifying Revenues through the end of such calendar quarter exceed $4,000,000). Buyer will provide a copy of each calendar quarter calculations to the Shareholders and simultaneously pay the MP equity holders any amounts then due. Within sixty (60) days after the end of the Incentive Period, Buyer shall make a calculation of Qualifying Revenues for the entire period and shall determine the final amount of payments due under this Section 2.4. Buyer shall provide a copy of such calculations to the Shareholders and shall simultaneously pay to the MP equity holders the amount so determined (in Common Stock or cash as provided in Section 2.4(a)). The incentive payment due under Section 2.4(a)(i) and the Additional Payments shall be made no later than seventy-five (75) days following the earlier of (i) the end of the calendar quarter in which the target Qualifying Revenues specified in Section 2.4(a) are achieved and (ii) the end of the Incentive Period (the “Payment Date”).
 
(c)  In the event the Qualifying Revenues during the Incentive Period are less than $2,500,000, then the MP equity holders shall return to the Buyer $1,000,000, comprised of $500,000 of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued to the MP equity holders pursuant to Section 2.2 above and $500,000 of the Common Stock issued to the MP equity holders pursuant to Section 2.3 above, with the value based on the Closing Stock Price; provided, however, that each MP equity holder may elect, at its option (but not the obligation), to return all or part of the $1,000,000 claw back in cash. To secure this possible return of stock, the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock subject to being returned to the Buyer shall be pledged to the Buyer pursuant to the terms of a Stock Pledge Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit 2.4. In the event the MP equity holders are required to return any consideration pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), MP and Buyer agree that such return shall be treated as a reduction in the total Consideration for tax purposes.
 
(d) For these purposes, “Qualifying Revenue” shall mean (1) the total amount of revenues recognized by Buyer under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied by Buyer (but excluding any sales or use taxes or other add-on charges such as shipping) during the Incentive Period from the sale or licensing of MP products or services (but without double counting any revenue) from transactions described in subparts (i) through (v) of this Section 2.4(d), plus (2) to the extent not taken into account and credited to the Incentive Period under clause (1) above, cash received by Buyer during the Incentive Period from prepaid licenses that would constitute Qualifying Revenues, but only to the extent the prepayment is for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months from the date the prepaid license fee is received, minus (3) returns and refunds (to the extent not taken into account and credited to the Incentive Period under clause (1) above) actually granted and attributed to the Incentive Period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied by Buyer, and also minus (4) to the extent not taken into account and credited to the Incentive Period under clause (1) above, Qualifying Revenues which Buyer reasonably determines will be uncollectible consistent with past practices and generally acceptable accounting principles:

(e) The Shareholders, through the Shareholders' representative identified pursuant to Section 11.16 and his counsel and accountants, will have access during normal business hours to those books and records of or relating to Buyer that are required in order for Shareholders to confirm Qualifying Revenues.

6.2  Indemnification Limitations.
 
(a)  Limitations on Indemnifiable Damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Indemnifiable Damages for any matter described in Section 6.1 hereof unless and until the aggregate of all claims for Indemnifiable Damages asserted pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof exceeds $50,000 (the “Deductible”), provided that if such claims exceed the Deductible in the aggregate, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover all amounts of Indemnifiable Damages.

In computing the amount of Indemnifiable Damages, there shall be deducted therefrom an amount equal to the net, actual income tax savings, if any, demonstrably resulting to the Indemnitees from the income tax deduction or deferral and amounts received or provided for Indemnitees’ benefit pursuant to policies of insurance, if any, to which the Indemnitees shall become entitled as a consequence of any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost, expense or deficiency giving rise to the Indemnifiable Damages, but only to the extent that such income tax savings would not be offset by adverse tax consequences to the Indemnitees by reason of receipt of the Indemnifiable Damages or such proceeds of insurance. Buyer waives for itself and its insurance providers all rights of subrogation and assignment against the Shareholders related to Indemnifiable Damages.
 
36

 
(d)  Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provisions of Article 6 are the exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees for Indemnifiable Damages arising under this Article 6, under the Merger Agreement or under any other transaction document, except for those arising by reason of any breach of the covenants contained in Article 9 and as to which the Buyer may pursue all rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity.

If and when the Indemnitees desire to assert a claim for Indemnifiable Damages against the Shareholders pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6, the Indemnitees shall deliver to the Shareholders or their Representative, reasonably promptly after the Indemnitees’ receipt of a claim or specific and affirmative awareness of a potential claim, a certificate signed by the Buyer’s secretary (as used in this Article 6, the “Notice of Claim”): (i) stating that the Indemnitees have paid or accrued (or intend to pay or accrue) Indemnifiable Damages to which they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 and the amount thereof (to the extent then known); and, (ii) specifying to the extent possible (A) the individual items of loss, damage, liability, cost, expense or deficiency included in the amount so stated, (B) the date each such item was or will be paid or accrued and (C) the basis upon which Indemnifiable Damages are claimed.

The Notice of Objection shall set forth the grounds upon which the objection is based and state whether the Shareholders object to all or only a portion of the matter described in the Notice of Claim. Any such claim or claims shall ultimately be resolved by agreement of the parties or litigation.

6.4  Participation in Defense of Third Party Claims. If any third party shall assert any claim against the Indemnitees which, if successful, might result in an obligation of the Shareholders to pay Indemnifiable Damages, Buyer will promptly notify the Shareholders of the existence of the claim and will give the Shareholders the first right and opportunity to defend the claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own selection; provided that Buyer will at all times also have the right to participate fully in the defense at its own expense. If, within a reasonable time after this notice, the Shareholders fail to defend, Buyer will have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of, and to compromise or settle (exercising reasonable business judgment), the claim or other matter on behalf and at the risk of the Shareholders. If the claim is one that cannot by its nature be defended solely by the Shareholders (including any federal or state tax proceeding), Buyer will make available all information and assistance that the Shareholders may reasonably request.

6.5  Survival of Representations and Indemnification. The Shareholders’ obligation to pay Indemnifiable Damages arising out of claims described in Sections 6.1 (ii), (iii) or (iv) hereof shall survive the Closing of this transaction for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.

If the Buyer shall object to such Notice of Claim, the Buyer shall deliver written notice of objection (as used in this Article 7, the “Notice of Objection”) to the Indemnitees.

7.5  Survival of Representations and Indemnification. The Buyer’s obligation to pay Indemnifiable Damages arising out of claims described in Section 7.1(ii), (iii) or (iv) hereof shall survive the Closing of this transaction for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date. The obligation of Buyer to pay Indemnifiable Damages arising out of Section 7.1(i) hereof shall survive the Closing Date, as follows:
 
(a)  Fraudulent Breach of Representations; Certain Representations. In the case of a claim based upon the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty which is finally determined to be made fraudulently or with respect to any representation or warranty contained in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 for a period equal to the applicable statutes of limitation;

Any setoff in respect of an unmatured claim shall be provisional until such time as the claim matures and it is finally determined whether and to what extent the Buyer has indemnity obligations to the Indemnitees in respect of such claim. If it is finally determined that the amount set off is in excess of the indemnity obligations of the Buyer in respect of such claim, the Shareholders shall pay to the Buyer, as applicable, within thirty (30) days after the date of such final determination, an amount sufficient to bring its obligations under any agreement or other obligation current after giving effect to the proper amount of such setoff as so finally determined.

In the event of a breach or threatened breach by a Shareholder of the provisions of Section 9.1, Buyer and MP shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Shareholder from disclosing, in whole or in part, the Proprietary Information, or from rendering any services to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity to whom Proprietary Information, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Upon receipt of a written request by Buyer, each Shareholder agrees to surrender and return to Buyer all documents, records, memoranda, notebooks and similar repositories of Proprietary Information of every character or description.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the covenants contained in this Article 9 are incidental to the sale of MP; (ii) the covenants contained in this Article are reasonably necessary to protect the interest of Buyer and MP in whose favor said covenants are imposed; (iii) the restrictions imposed by this Article are not greater than are necessary for the protection of Buyer and MP in light of the substantial harm that Buyer and MP will suffer should there be a breach of any such covenant; (iv) the period of restriction and extent of restriction contained in this Article are fair and reasonable in that the MP Business is international in scope and in that they are reasonably required for the protection of Buyer and MP; (v) the nature, kind and character of the activities the Shareholders are prohibited to engage in as described in this Article are reasonable and necessary to protect Buyer and MP and shall not be interpreted or construed as prohibiting the Shareholders from rendering any other services or performing any other activities not referenced therein, and (vi) the covenants and agreements of the Shareholders contained in this Article have been specifically negotiated by the parties and are material inducements to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, and, but for such covenants made by the Shareholders herein, Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement.

(c)  Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that each of the covenants and agreements contained in this Article is made in consequence of and as a specific inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to protect and preserve the benefit of this Agreement to Buyer; that each of the covenants contained in this Article is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the benefits to be received by Buyer under this Agreement; irreparable loss and damage will be suffered by Buyer should a Shareholder breach any of such covenants and agreements; each of such covenants and agreements is separate, distinct and severable not only from the other of such covenants and agreements but also from the other and remaining provisions of this Agreement; that the unenforceability of any such covenant or agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other such covenant or agreements or any other provision or provisions of this Agreement; and that, in addition to other remedies available to it, Buyer shall be entitled to both temporary and permanent injunctions to prevent a breach or contemplated breach by a Shareholder of any of such covenants or agreements.

(e)  The covenants and agreements on the part of the Shareholders contained in this Article shall be construed as agreements independent of any other agreement between Buyer and the Shareholders. The existence of any claim of cause of action of a Shareholder against Buyer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of any of such covenants and agreements.

(f)  Nothing contained in this Article shall restrict any Shareholder from being a less than five percent (5%) stockholder of any corporation that directly or indirectly competes with Buyer provided the stock of such competing corporation is publicly held and listed on a regional or national stock exchange and the Shareholder is not otherwise involved as an officer, director, employee, consultant or agent of such corporation.
 
9.6  Severability. It is the parties' express intention that if a court of competent jurisdiction finds or holds any provision of this Article 9 to be excessively broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision shall then be construed by limiting or reducing it so as to comport with then applicable law. In the event any such provision cannot be limited or reduced so as to comport with then applicable law, then such provision of this Article 9 shall be severable from all other provisions of this Article 9, and the other provisions of this Article 9 shall continue to be enforceable to the fullest extent allowable.
 
9.7  Injunctive Relief. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties that a Shareholder’s violation of any of the provisions of this Article 9 shall severely damage the Buyer's business, and the parties recognize that such damage shall be difficult to precisely determine. Therefore, it is expressly agreed that the Buyer, in addition to any other remedies it may have, shall be entitled to injunctive relief against any Shareholder in the event of any such breach.
 
9.8  Extension of Time. If the enforceability of any of the terms of this Article 9 shall be challenged in court by a Shareholder and such party is not enjoined from breaching any of the restrictions herein contained, and if a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the challenged restriction is enforceable, then the time period applicable to such restriction shall be deemed tolled upon the filing of the lawsuit challenging the enforceability of such restriction until the dispute is finally resolved and all periods of appeal have expired.
 
9.9  Award of Fees to Prevailing Party. In any court action relating this Article 9, the court may make a determination regarding which party’s legal position in such matter is the more substantially correct (the “Prevailing Party”) and require the other party to pay the legal and other professional fees and costs incurred by the Prevailing Party in connection with such action.

All decisions and actions by the Shareholders' Representative shall be binding upon all of the Shareholders, and no Shareholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest, or otherwise contest the same.
